fin Hetzel Emergencf hmi
It is difficult to find a project more worthy of
praise than the emergency loan fund originated
little more than a year ago by Mrs. Ralph D. 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. * * •

Inside story on opportioning of senior women
honors is that the awards were made as a result
of a deal between Kappa Kappa Gamma and Chi
Omega. 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. Maybe the coeds aren’t the
little angels their guiding hand thinks they are.
A 1 Mclntyre ’39, ex-Collegian scribe and erst
while Theta Xi. is going to fly up from Florida via'
Eastern Airlines -to attend Interfraternity Ball,
according to George Parrish.
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. '
• Thip is fair warning,.gentle jroader. Some day
your sensibilities s may be;put to heavy test: Steel-'’
yourself. *•

Letters to the Editor-r-
Flies in Our Soup,
We're Really Sorry
To the Editor
I read your . 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.

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

Thirty cartoons that were lost
or misplaced almost prevented
Froth from making its appear

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
