Managing Folitor This Issue .Isk . ..wi3 Editor Thi.; Issue ____ Women's Editor This _ Graduate Coun.,olo Thursday, October 9, 1941 illet's Help Penn Slate The first of five votes to decide the recipient of part of the collections received in Chapel may be !taken this Sunday. Either all the money will continue to be sent to Lingnan University in China or two collections ea;'h month will be donated to a local charity. So far the local charity which may eventually be aided by money given in chapel has not been .chosen. All-College Cabinet, which - started - the movement to divert part of the fund, considered several charities but failed to make a selection. The Collegian is clearly biased in this matter. We are in favor of keeping some of the chapel collections it the campus tor the specific purpose of helping , Students. To be even more exact, we r;ropose that Mrs. Hetzel's Fund for Emergencies be designated to receive the money if the change is adopted. • • The Collegian does not deny "hat money sent to . lLingnan for the support of "Daddy" Groff is 'jut to good use, or ;hat neea in China is great. 2hese are established facts, and with them we have no argument. We do believe, however, that Mrs. Hetzel's Fund is more worthy of assistance from .Penn State students, faculty members, and townspeople than is Lingnan University. A areat,many Penn State students at times requite financial aid for ;the actual necessities of life—and they need it badly. There can be no cause for helping total strangers when it means neglecting the wants of those we know as friends. _ A method of helping' our fellow Penn State Men and women is within easy reach. Why ;shouldn't we use it? Why shouldn't approxi mately half the money donated in chapel be set aside for use on the campus. Mrs. Hetzel's Fund is ideal as an agency to dis burse money to _needy students. Its purpose is to provide small sums to students who suddenly find themselves in critical need. Loans haye been made so that students could buy food, books, even shoes. Money has been sup Plied for room rent, for commencement expenses, for job interviews. Although loans .can be obtained easily and quick ly, money will be provided only where the need Is great. The fund could be expand'd both in size and purpose. Money could be granted to more stud ents, and larger sums could be made m'ailable. But that is up to you. Your vote in chapel will /s.elp decide the issue. .We're Really Sorry An apology from the Collegian is due one of the two candidates for burgess of the borough of State College. -The candidate, Eugene -H. Leder er, whose "Bible-slinging" ability was mentioned in a Collegian column laSt week wrote a letter ,ot mild protest to the .editor. -The letter via?, published Tuesday morning_ but type lice .put ; one over on .Collegian's proofiaeaders by inserting the numerals '42 after Mr. Lederer's uune. The Collegian is sorry in two ways: first, for the mistake: second, that a student is not run 'ling for burg - ,;;s. That would be wonderful! establi3lied 1887 :3antueiz Ribhard S.

I'm going to turn this column into an open letter to the two candidates, and ask them a few questions which, if they answer them, Will furnish , a more com plete picture. than all my research could afford. • • To MMus. Lederer ood.Yougo I . . Since you two gentlemen have,been nominated by the voters of State College to .1 - 3 e candidates for burgess; I feel sure limt, in the interest of public enlightenment, you will be glad to answer a few questions regarding your past record as borough officials. Alphabetically, Mr. Lederer, yoU come first. You are the successful Democratic candidate, as n result of a write-in vote. Tht Republican party, of which you are a committeeman - in this county, failed to support, you, and nominated Mr. YOuget. You. have had considerable experience as • a borough official. You preceded 'Mr. •Leitzell as burgess and you have been a justice of the peace for some years. On the basis of your past per 7 formance, I would I;ke to aSk a . few questions about what your policy. will be ; if- elected this year. • Will you continue to force students to go to Sunday School, regardless of the penalties re quired by law? Are you going to, continue to - force vehicle code violators to copy. sections of, the code 1,000 times? It is still going to be your policy to show favortism in judging cases of 'townspeople and faculty, members? And You, Mr. Yougel. What have you to say for yourself? What did BurgeSS Leitzell refer to when he suspenderi.you from the borough po lice force in January, 1937, 'for conduct "unbe 7 coming an officer?" He mentioned in his letter to Council, which is a matter of public record. in.the _Borough Secretary's office, that you had failed to cooperate with fellow officers and had complained to persons outside the police force about your fellow officers,' Why did you resign from the police force in June, 1937? Only because of poor pay and long hours? There are loads of other questions -I'd .like to ask, but there just isn't enough space. I'd like to know, for instance, Mr. Lederer, whether you're going to get another franchise to run a bus line in State College as you did the last - time'you were burgess. And I'm interested 'in - learning more details of your experiences with the State Police and the Army Reserves, Mr. Yougel., , For the present, though, I think that you'll have enough to 'do answering my querieS above.

College Book Store 129 W. Beaver Ave. Slate Coßego (01kV COMM Take 200 Years An amateur statistician, at the College has figured that it- would take the average student more than 200 years .to. take all the courses the institution 'Offers. The -catalogue lists 'a total of 2250 courses in 91 subject-matter fields. Assuming that each of these is a 3- , credit course and .that 130 units would be requited for grad uation at the end of - four years, the student would amass 6750 credits if he took them all. Asa matter of fact this method of figuring is conservative because many of the graduate courses pro vide five, six, or even 18 credits arid involve a correspondingly greater amount of work. But granted that the, total could be, kept within 6750", credits, this would represent more than 50 four-year programs of study, or would occupy more than 200 Years. As a matter of fact, only 876 courses, which probably constitute, :hOwever, a record high are being :given during the present academic year: All of which would appear to prove how endleSS is the search •for - knowledge,- an observation •which is made even more perti nent when it is realized that some of the 'mimes the. student would take early in his career would .be obsolescent. or obsolete before ten yearg-had expired. - To provide such a program for its 7000 students, the College use of approximately 622 full-time resident professors and instructors and is organized into seven under graduate schools and. a Qraduate School. Band Room Proposed As Site For Student Recreational Facilities Students may soon be able to use the present hand room, 405 Old Main, as a recreation center, according to Cabinet committee report issued by H. Leonard Krouse, senior clvss president. • Ping-gong and pool tables, which are owned by Student 'Un ion, are not being used at present due - to lack of installation space. This equipment, together with ad ditional recreational facilities, will be placed in the .band roolll' for student use as soon as the music department moves • its offices to Carnegie Hall, which is now un dergoing alterations. Robert B. Jeffrey. '42, also re- ported to Cabinet that the 14it tany Lion will have its expenses paid to all football games that the Blue Band attends away from home.
