"Fitness for Living" was the subject of another lecture following which the girls were put through an exercise programme to test their personal fitness. "One of the most interesting parts of the programme was a panel discussion on the subject of careers", Marilyn reported.

Another event Marilyn found particularly stimulating was a debate on "Protein of the Future". Two university professors gave opposingtviewson whether or not the future will bring about the need to dispose of our meat source animals who currently consume a high per- centage of grain which could be used for human consumption, or whether we can solve the food crisis through new agriculture methods and continue to use animal protein which has a higher and richer source than which the grains in themselves provide.

The girls were able to taste the foods following the demonstrations to experience what others around the world are eating.
