Het zel for students requiring money at short notice. Already 78 students have used the fund with Joans aggregating $615. At present,'there is a bal ance of $793 available at any time for students’ emergencies. The fund was established at" Mrs. Hetzel’s sug- her name has been connected with the •project to insure the feeling of a personal fund vihere deserving students may find help. Loans up to $lO are made with no interest charged and more may be extended at the discre tion of the committee. No security is required from those receiving the aid and help given is immediate. . . One of the commendable features of the fund is that students feel the responsibility - to repay the aid offered when it is convenient for them. Only pne loan has not been returned. Since the necessity for such a fund was recogniz ed by Mrs. Hetzel and the fund subsequently established, it has received the enthusiastic sup port of campus and town organizations and inter ested persons. These groups have indicated then interest and support by contributing money and clothes to the fund. Over $1,036, aside from clothes, has been contributed in this way. It is the object of the fund to keep its transac tions as personal as possible and dispel the feeling of impersonality in this large college. The tact and quiet understanding with which the commit tee operates, so students may feel free to accept its aid, is noteworthy. Serious consequences might have resulted were it not for the emergency fund to tide students over when their funds are low. The value of such a project, which lends money and provides clothes for deserving students, is great. It is fitting that the financial need of am bitious students, anxious to acquire a college edu cation, be recognized in this way. To these students and others showing admirable attributes, the fund willing loans money. , - The fund which has already aided many stu dents is able to help still more. We feel it is a worthwhile project, established where and when the need was felt. It deserves the whole-hearted support of all conncted with the College and should be recognized as one of the most worthy, campus organizations. —JCS Whose Knocked Punch \ The continual re-discovery of the narrow-mind ed selfishness with which all of us act is most dis heartening. Take the present case of labor which is availing itself of the nation’s need for fast and furious pro duction to strike for better wages. Despite the fact -that the unions under President Hoosevelt have received more cooperation and made more real progress than at any time in his tory, they are now balkiiig the nation and the same president in the hour of need. There is only selfishness and no gratitude. The unfortunate thing is that the short-sighted policy is going to cost labor more than it will gain. Pub lic opinion is important to the realization of'any goal. With public opinion labor has a rather con sistent record for knocking itself out. Each time labor does knock itself out with the public in general it loses a couple of years. That's what it is busy doing now, throwing away years of carefully built up progress. * * • Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Night Phone 4372 ' Louis H.

It was the old stry of “you vote for our girls and we’ll vote for yours.” And all along we had been counting on the women to clean up Campus politics and elect can didates on merit basis.

It looks like a publicity stunt to us. Coach Steals Show ■ Most colorful figure among the scholastic pug ' ilists gathered here for their nationwide battle royal this weekend is not an undergraduate ■ but Southwestern Louisiana’s coach George (Gee) 'Mitchell. Known to his pupils as “Punchy,” Mitchell is nearly as broad as he is tall and can pack more humor into one South-drawled sentence than Jack Benny. He has never boxed in his life and nearly kicked eff with apoplexy when he was notified by the SLU authorities that he w r as to be the new boxing coach. He recovered sufficiently to dispatch a let ter to our own Doctor Houck wherein he asked if the good doctor would be so kind as to drop him a few lines on how to coach boxing! When asked how many boys usually came out for the boxing team at SLU, “Gee" looked sur prised and said, “Why. eight.” His questioner was somewhat taken back and exlaimed, “That’s just enough for one full team!" • ‘"Sure,” said the droll “Gee,” “That's all the scholarships we give.” Alumni News Among prominent Alumni returned for the weekend and the fights are Pat Costello ’39, ex boxing manager and Ted Lesko ’4O, ex gym man ager. George Schless ’4O, another ex-Collegian mainstay, breezed into town yetserday in a shiny red Packard convertible. Who says State journal ism graduates don’t make any money? " The de bonair George is living proof to the contrary. Among those not present but accounted for are Chuck Haidt ’4O and Preston Postl'ethwaite ’4O. •Both of these estimable alumni have answered the call of their country (Their number came up) and joined the armed forced of the'nation' The coun try is saved. The following little ditty,~ contributed by W; J., is respectfully dedicated to Emil Axelson, Kappa Sig senior, who is very much enamored of petite Helen Schmelz, freshman queen. The sun is shining on the grass, And all the birds sing as they pass, The clouds look soft and white and near, And we go outside to drink our beer. And gosh you see such funny things, Boys beg their girls to take their rings. They mope around with mournful look, An never crack a gosh darn book. Is that what makes boys look at me? And then look down and say, “Ah gee.” Is that what makes the breezes buzz? And Ma, is THAT what flowers does? Let The Reeder Beware When a student editor approaches his typewrit er, he often feels obliged to batter out some weighty pronouncement that, 24 hours later, after his college has consumed it, will at least have changed the history of the institution if not of America.. Either the editor is likely to become stage struck or else he begins to babble meaningless,' high sounding phrases. Collegian's editor confesses to the weakness, at least to succumbing sometimes— probably more often than he confesses.. But he confesses, too,.that he is always a trifle .surprised, albeit pleased, to see -some reader scan ning the left side of page two. From the usual lack of reaction he is occasion ally tempted to swear, print, filthy Jokes, or rank libel, or otherwise profanethe press just to see if anybody notices.

Collegian daily and love it dearly, but you lost a friend when I . scanned your last issue; particularly the re view of the intramural wrestling bout. After having the living daylights kicked out of-me by one Mr. Metzler, you have the col ossal and unadulterated nerve to say I forfeited the bout. Flies in your soup Harry C. Morford ’42 Eggs Have No Secrets Eggs .have no . 'secrets any more: They sit in vows.-pn wire seats in.the research laboratory of Prof. John E. Nicholas,, de partment of - agricultural engin eering, waiting to have their temperatures taken. Each little egg has a siender wire inserted in its interior. to which is attached an electric thermometer. By this means Professor Nicholas is able to de tect indications even before an egg begins to thinks of going bad. In scientific terms, the most economic temperature at which to store eggs to maintain high quality at the corresponding re lative humidity is being deter-, mined. Strangely perhaps, the humidity or moisture in the air in which eggs are .kept seems to have as much or more influence on their keeping in good, con dition as the temperature. Eggs are living organisms, and they develop or deteriorate as such, depending on the observ er’s point of view. In order to observe them intensively, Pro fessor Nicholas has eggs stored at room temperature, in electric, refrigerators, ip water-cooled cabinets, under electric fans, in cold -water; and .almost if not quite resting on cakes of ice. The problem of. taking an egg apart and putting it together again has not yet .been solved,, but why take an- egg apart-if you know already what is going on in its 'interior, as Professor Nicholas does? Lost Cartoons Almost Delay issue Of Froth Thirty cartoons that were lost or misplaced almost prevented Froth from making its appear ance at Student.. Union and down-town sales spots yester day. Informed by the printer Mon day that his cartoons had not been received, Russ Gilbert, staff artist, drew them for a second time and rushed them to Williamsport. Due to the ef forts of the printer, Froth was able to make its seventh sche duled issue. - ■■■■■■ ■ ~ - ' Martha .Scott, The Exciting New.
