The Christian Association Begins
Its Finance Drive
The Penn State Christian Association today be
gins its annual campaign for Binds. It is from the
'funds received here that the program of the Chris
t:.n Association is supported.
During the year, the Association boasts, its pro
pam reaches every student. For those not active
s PSCA members, the main channels of contact
are these PSCA-sponsored activities: The fresh
man counselor meetings, the Student Handbook,
the fireside chats, weekends at the PSCA cabin in
hingletown Gap, the Christmas Carol Sing, serv
ices like yesterday's Armistice Day program, Re
ligion-In-Life Week and the annual••series of guest
speakers brought to the campus for one and two
day visits. •
This program is supported to some extent
through College funds. However. without the
money received from faculty, students, alumni and
parents; the PSCA program would be seriously
curtailed.
For those who will agree that the above activi
ties are of real importance in the Penn State order
of things, the way to see them continued is to help
out as generously as possible in the finance drive
Low begun.
Armistice Day
Yesterday's observance of the 22nd anniversary
of the World War armistice could be nothing bet
ter than a mellow occasion for mo-t Americans.
We are too close to the brink of another war to
celebrate a day of peace boisterously.
Even the 21st anniversary of the armistice is
longer ago that we think. The Second World War
was on then and the United States was taking note.
but it still regarded itself as a disinterested party.
Since then, largely because of the fall of France,
we have moved much closer to war.' We are not
even now attempting to be neutral in thought and
public opinion surveys show that we are becoming
snore and more ready to fight. • .
In our minds, we have tied our fate to the fate
- of Britain, a thought we would hardly have ven
tured aloud last Armistice Day. In our actions
we have pushed our neutrality interpretations to
all sorts of extremes to try to justify what we, now
call measures short of war. _
More important than anything else, we have ac
cepted calmly the first peace-time conscription
bill hi . American history.
The last 12 months have been a long year. The
next 12 may be longer.
"American college students Are different, from
all other people on this 'plant; they are the only
people who try to get as little as' posSible for
their money. They will spend the most valuable
years of their lives, thousands of dollars of their
parents' money and some of their own if they
can get any, in trying to derive as little as possible
out of their college courses, provided only, that
they will receive their coveted diploma at the end
.of four years of such efforts." Edwin F. Carpenter
of the University of Arizona meditates over "in
consistencies" of the collegian.

Perhaps the best anecdote of the week-end is the
one the girls at one of the sororities are telling
about one of the girls who came up from Brook
lyn for the Panhellenic Conference. The lovely
creature arrived at 9 o'clock Saturday night with
her mother. She immediately calied the dating
Lureau which managed to get her a - date, Heaven
knows how. Before, he arrived, she borrowed lip-
stick and nail polish from one. of the sisters and
a copy - of last year's La Vie which she avidly per
._ •
used to find his picture. While she was gone, her
mother left a little package for her and when she
returned from her date, amid the ill-concealed gig
gles of the girls, she opened the bag and ate the
chicken sandwich her mother had brought.
Speaking of delegates, it might be well to men-
tun that you men certainly made a hit. The dat-
ing committee received nothing but compliments
—from the girls. At Sunday morning breakfast
thry listened to the delegates chatter on about how
i.;ce Frank Kingdon was, how amusing Maynard
I!ioom was. how perfectly darling Hank Jeter was,
how grand Bill Hacker and Dick Piefly were, how
cute Freddo Baldwin was, and how Bob Harper
anci 'Zucker McKensie were "like nathin' from
home."
And as for the home talent this week-end, at the
Mortar Board Dance we saw: Jo Taggart, kappa,
and Steve Rollins, lambda chi (something new);
Posie Williams, theta, carrying .Jack Cunningham,
SAE's, accessories such as a razor and even
crushes, a toothbrush in a giant size knitting bag;
A lex McKean and Roger Harrington, resplendent
in a lei of peanuts; Betty'Breeze and Walt Lewis,
sigma chi. walkinF in in each others' coats; Ann
Lobach, chio, and Charles Parkinson in his Army
uniform, he's at Fort Bellaire now Edie Burrage.
A.OPi. and Paul Herb, sigma nu; Connie Smith',
kappa,' trotting around with Sea Biscuit Barr in
a lei of red roses; Louise Fuoss, alfachio, and Jay
Ellenberger, phi tau, who was wearing a corsage
straight from somebody's kitchen; Jeanne-Little,
little freshman, and Bob Koch, sigma nu; Sis Herr
man and Rog Findley, sigma nu, with a corsage of
balloons or something; Helen Cramer, kappa, and
DU Bob Broks; and AEphi Marion Sperling with
Elmer Lowenstein.
They tell me that Bert Douthett went to Syra
cuse this week-end to see Bob Goerder. Don't you
know, Bert, when you are well off? Sorry, at
I , ,:ast a little, that Marty Manifold went to New
York to see Lloyd Ickes a little while back and
has decided not to date -any more up here. Too
bud, fellows.

Letters to the Editor—
Reader Wants—And. Will
Get-- -A New Service
To the Editor
Why don't you start • a "ride
wanted" and "passenger wanted"
column in your paper? Each
weekend over a thousand students
of Penn Stdte go home, and over
the holidays nearly the entire
student body travels to their re
spective homes. From the bul
letin boards in the various cam,
pus buildings it is very evident
that a large , percentage of these
students need' rides badly. Very
few students can afford to ride
the • busses and trains back and
forth even if schedUles and con
nections were at all convenient.
Some students live over 200 milei
from college and getting home is
quite a serious problem with
them. One line two Columns in
width could contain all the in
formation needed-by a prospective
passenger or driver of a car Ex
ample:
P.W. Williamsport- L—Tu. - 10:00
C—Don Smith 561.
R.W..New York L—Fri. 12:00
C—Bill Jones 432.
Key:
P.W.—passengers wanted.
R.W.—ride wanted, leaving on
Tuesday at 10:00. Call - Don
Smith 561.
Let us say for ten. cents a bet.;
ter return per unit space could
be , gotten than from any adver
tisement. Nearly the entire stud
ent body could be reached through
this column and hundreds of
students would be willing to - pay
a thin dime to assure themselves
of passengers for their car or a
ride hbme for themselves. I am
sure it would increase the popu
larity of your paper among your
readers besides being of a great
service to the student body as a
whoje. Well here it is, take it
for what it's worth.
Yours truly,
Don Mackenzie, '43
Editor's Note: —Don MacKen
zie will get the column he wants..

gested for 10 cents which must

legian Office, 313 Old Main. The

into detail. A full announcement
of the' plan will be made in to
morrow's issue.
