William Smith Girls See Posture Defects In Motion Pictures
Geneva, N. Y.—(ACP)—Slow-motion picture analysis of the body mechanics of each freshman girl at William Smith College has brought home so dramatically some defects and shortcomings conspicuous to others that a program of specialized exercises to develop better poise, carriage and movement is now enthusiastically accepted where before it had simply been tolerated.
Started in 1940 by Miss Marcia Winn, professor of physical education, the program originally was intended only to bring to the girls a realization of peculiarities they unknowingly had developed.
Among most common faults revealed are awkward mechanical use of hip, knee and ankle joints, incorrect transfer of weight in everyday walking, exaggerated or stiff use of the arms, and general postural shortcomings, including the familiar round shoulders, forward heads, protruding abdomens, and hollow backs.
Coeds found it impossible to believe their own faults until they saw themselves in the movies, but then entered wholeheartedly into the corrective program.

The program will be closed with Mr. Preyer's transcription of the Strauss waltz, "Thousand and One Night," arranged by him in 1930 and used in concert tours by Guy Maier, concert pianist and former member of the Maier-Pattison two-piano team.

HERSHEY EXTENDS---
(continued from page one) theological students the recommendation states: The student will be deferred if it is certified by the institution in which he is pursuing the preprofessional course of study that if he continues his progress he will complete such preprofessional course of study on or before July 1, 1945, and. (2) it is certified by a recognized medical or theological college that he is unqualifiedly accepted for admission and will undertake professional studies upon completion of his preprofessional work.
Graduate Must Be In Research
A graduate student will be deferred if in addition to pursuing further studies he is engaged in one of the following: (1) in scientific research certified by a recognized federal agency as related to the war effort; or (2) in classroom or laboratory instruction in one of these scientific or specialized fields for not less than 12 hours a week.
This means that the premedical and pretheological student may be deferred if some graduate school will accept the student nearly two years before he will begin work in the school.
These recommendations are not orders and draft boards are not forced to follow the instructions but unless the board is having a very difficult time filling their quota the instructions will probably be adhered to, local officials believe.

ADVISERS WILL----
(continued from page one)
Scholarship chairmen desiring reports on upperclassmen should leave in the College office an alphabetical list of their students enrolled in the College. As soon as possible, the unsatisfactory grades of upperclassmen will be entered on the list which may be called for then. In addition, all unsatisfactory grades made by juniors and seniors will be mailed to them by the office.
Reports Are Classified
Mid-semester reports are alphabetized, collected for each student, and classified in the College office. This explains the time elapsing between the filing of the reports in the office and the advising period, office workers said.
Mid-semester advising not only gives opportunity for checking up, but also gives the student an opportunity to talk with a faculty member unhurriedly about problems concerning his University life.
