Some’feel stymied because they are so 1 far apart from, the national-sacrifices wbich are being, made, • Here, .is the.,student’s chance. ; Penn. State has been asked^,to. help, supply the blood-line of the nation’s soldiers by donating; 400'pints ,of blood, for-.use in blood transfusions in' the theatre of War zones. An opportunity, to contribute , something beyond mere.-words; is. presented. ..Four hundred Penn Stater students' can rbe the .saviors of 400 soldiers •who -.may need sudden blood transfusions’ during' battle* ’ ’ No. physical, harm and. little, discomfort is ex perienced in blood, .taking,., A small amount p£, IqcafanesthetiQ is used so that; there is relatively little pain involved.' Donors are accepted only if'-they-are Capable, of giving 500 c.c.’s of The. blood taking requires only; about 115 minutes?'J Any student or professor who is Willing.. ta give n ? blopi donation’, is asked .to .sigii'up at, Stude|it* tJniojv. . . , That ,bipod. .Which you , give, today may save Bome soldier’s life, possibly your own. Students And Defense Another;, encouraging, note. in Penn. State’s part in national defense is the 2,000 students 'who en rolled Jfor.- the extra-curricular defense courses to. be. offered by the. dollege faculty-’ Relinquish- ’ ing: their,, tinted for*, instruction. in vital- defense aidSj..these ;students,have signified their willing-, ae,ss to helpt Uncle- Sam- through' ;a crucial period!. ’ Groundwork for the courses will be laid next - •week with; instruction being offered in at least 50 various .classes... The. First -Aid course has , already begun with .205 preferences listed by students. Npt , only has Penn State been noticed for its extension trainihg_ of .Pennsylvania, but this large-scale instruction of students-in defense ac tivities has been hailed as one of the most pro gressive steps that any college or university has taken in national defense training. It has given the student a chance to feel • that he is showing some interest and action. The problems of getting the machinery of class scheduling and faculty instruction in working order are the chief hindrances im getting the. courses started immediately. It is expected that these.will.be ironed- out by next week. Thanks Prof! Thanks, prof! Sometimes students forget that professors, aren’t men who sit in front of a class, throw, words of wisdom .at bored ears, and con coct; the.- hardest one-hour bluebook they can muster.: Instead, professors are sometimes just as bored with: their students, listening amusedly to “apple polishing’? nit-wits, and correct bluebooks with a can of aspirins at their elbows. The action taken by the Senate last night in recommending to its faculty that it try to elim inate final examinations indicates that “profs” usually understand their students’ . problems, sometimes better than the students.
