THE UNEMPLOYMENT FUND
Announcement that an attempt mould lie made to
rule from Penn State's faculty $25,000 for State
ale unemployment telief has natul ally brought forth
inment and miticism, not necessarily directed at the
lea of conti Muting to the idler of the needy, but lath..
the inadvisability of distmbuting funds throughout
c State when local conditions arc none too good, and
hen it is vely inobable that an unusual number of
udents mill lie forced to lonic College next semestei
amuse of financial
It seems that opposition to this ohm ity fund is
.ngely based on prejudices formed heroic all the actual
acts 'AMC known, on suppositions that contra ibutions
%ere to he in the foram of compulsory assessments, and
r tho usual suspicions detected at wholesale giving for
enei al chum ity pin poses
In oidei to bleak down some of this opposition
tatementi, have been issued by the General Committee
n charge of the relief to the effect that no great pm torn
I the fund will be turned ovei to any agency for put
.oses not definitely known to the committee, that thole
ar implied obligation to donate, and that an individual's
,eisonal charities or relief work ale not to he looked
nto in questioned and who e such oast the prospectne
111/scriber is entitled to fr'r his subscription accordingly.
In justice to the genetal idea behind the State
ollege Unemployment Relief fund, it must be. stated
hat the committee recognized student and borough needs
placing them first on the list of possible iecipients of
he 'chef funds Time are many, howevel, who be
love that it is unreasonable to expect Penn State's
acuity to contribute any part of the fund to other sec
ions of the State where there may be individuals or
institutions in a far better position to rendes aid
Them is no doubt that mole would give and in
iratet amounts if it were definitely stated that the
and.' mm null he expended in such a way that emery
trident m due need of funds would be taken care of,
nil that every needy case in the immediate vicinity of
tate College would be attended to before any of the
mount would be used rot general relief work throughout

.as always been di ained to the limit of its lesour ces

IN PRAISE OF THINKING
Thinking no an nit, of a life uoik, is not levered

Speaking in tough generalities, students can be th

A college that trained five students a year solely in

We want to correct on error sse made last week
We mentioned, in connection uith food at Mac Hall,
that "aspen ngus on ,nggv toast" ,as quite an item on
the menus mci there. This sins a misrepresentation
of the facts, atm! a e'le about it. The ti uth is
that, fos sonic time now, no such dish has been served
at the McAllistes Mess. The Gals complained about
the sogginess of the toast, and the assuagement quickly
did something about it. They don't solve anv toast at
rill now.
The backgammon cure has finally invaded our
little metiopolis Almost any moiling you can find
the Kappas sprawled on the floor, thouing the tmo
little cubes (We haven't heatd definitely, but prob
ably if the Kappas ale the Thetas are too.) The game
is not oactly backgammon inasmuch as the Kappas
don't use a board, but that doesn't reduce the c‘mte
ment. On the contrary, it makes the game a good
deal taster, and much easier to play It's more fun,
too, you don't base any incentive to snap your fingers
leguku backgammon But the tamer game is
fashionable rm, and we expect the Kappas will get
;maid platy soon
One of the first things that a Libel al Artist
learns is how to think on his feet, to stand up and
tall,. The more advanced students can do it almost
any time, whether they have anything to say or not.
It 'Nunes a little tesouicefulness and the knowledge

has a paternalistic attitude in regard to Cuba. We ,
have a fatherly intmest, and we watch over Cuba as
though she mete—et—a child or something. There's a
fathom and son relationship, soi t of, and we keep
our eyes on Cuba and hand of see that nothing hap

paternalistic attitude, sott of "
The difficulty m ith that method is that you have
to have one fact with winch to start We know sonic

Dean Robert L Sackett, of the En

had been forced to leave College from
lock of funds. These men had already
nvested the greater part of the noses
any money, but were unable to ob.

Tn the Engineering School there

here recently, Dean Sackett said.
Dean of 'Women Charlotte E Roy
estimated that ten percent of the wo
men here would find it necessary to
have aid from loans during the next

'oans have been established largely
by the Pennyslvania Pedeiation of
Women and by alumnae clubs in the
State.
Practically no aid for students

Dean 'Warnock said. Only students
