PHILADELPHIA. Pa. (ACP).
Post - graduate athletic activity
should be the goal of all Ameri
can college athletes, particularly
at this critical period, according
to Lawson Robertson, Penn and
Olympic track and field coach.
"From the standpoint of physi
cal condition it is wrong for a
young man who has been com
peting for eight years through
high or prep school and college,
upon his graduation from college,
suddenly to stop all athletic ac
, tivity," said Robertson, who in
April observes his twenty-fifth
anniversary as University of Penn
sylvania track coach.
"Most athletes are graduated
when they are 21 or 22. That is
an age when they haven't yet
reached their physical maturity.
They should participate in some
form of athletics until they are
at least 25, the age of full physi
cal maturity.
"How to Meet the Public," will
be the subject of a lecture by Vel
ma McTeek, head hostess of the
Burlington railroad lines, when
she speaks in Ellen Smith today at
4 p. m. on the current vocational
lecture series.
Sponsored y the AWS board
and the dean of women's office
as the third speaker in their
series, Miss McPeek was the first
woman to be appointed passenger
supervisor by the railroad. She
has also been manager of a de
partment store and of tearooms in
Kansas and Oklahoma.
Besides discussing "How to
Meet the Public", Miss McPeek
will explain positions open to
women in the transportation line.
"This speaker's topic should be
of interest to everyone, stated
Dean Hosp in urging coeds to at
tend the meeting. "There are many
positions requiring a knowledge
of meeting the public."
