Many students feel that they are pretty far •!L'rom everything here at State College, and, can't do much to help, their country in its "all out" cam vaign other than to buy defense stamps and lend their moral support to Uncle Sam. •B t here is a chance, for the fraternities on this can m.is to do. something really worth while for the. cowitt7y. Last week a letter was received by fraternity presidents advising them on what pre cmitionary measures to. take and how to assist the College Defense Council in general. The fraternities were asked to save any articles . that they would ordinarily throw away, such.as -rags, papers, or. any, that could possibly be Ai r sed by a country engaged, in total warfare. There. ,no effort involved in. this. A few pledges as •yigned to the task wouldn't hurt anyone. It - would, be their duty to watch for the articles and :*rave them collected. A duty of this sort couldn't . tae. termed a, pledge, duty. it is simply giving the -uledge, his chance to, do, his part.. Prices, are u,p, , There is no, question about that, irraternity. food, budgets are, higher, and accord,- .ingly many greek letter societies on this campus A s aised their house bills at the beginning. of the .College year. • ).31,4 fraternities can save in many other spots 9u, tlie, budget. Occupying what may seem an -*significant place in the IFC letter was the para advising fraternities to cut down on luxur .ips, and eliminate unnecessary items. .1-leuse dances could be cut down. If the fra ternities are reluctant about eliminating them .completely, then they may cut' down on the 'ex ttpense of running one, either in the price of the -band itself or the decorations for the affair. Perhaps In can arrange the rushing code so thlat the rustling expense to the fraternity is not great. It may even be advisable for IFC to .•it,cLually set a, limit on the amount to be spent by each fraternity, ',Mere are countless other plans to save money 4 4 00, awnerous to, mention that fraternities may •adopt in these times.

NED LINEGAR Associate PSCA Secretary With the radios blaring out the facts of the latest Libyan offensive, and the newspapers headlining the Eascist threat in the Pacific, with the Red Cross demanding your blood for the blood bank, the Government' asking for your money in the war effort, and your community requesting your time and effort in volUntary activities; you find yourself confuSed - and confounded.' The most immediate need is for . an attitude of mind and heart that turns the 'demands of the War emergency into opportunities for. new experience. There is this matter of self-sacrifice. You are told that the future bolds Only "blood, siveat,.and tears," and the thought is slightly uninviting. With America so long a land of "milk and honey," though some of its population has not been on the delivery route, yOtt find yourself a bit awed by the thought of sacrifice. But, who knows, you might be able to turn the demands of sacrifice into, opportunities for new experience. What if it is necessary to give up the 'tinge college dances with big-name ban!th, pressed andborrowed dress . suits, and corsages? It might be interesting to try some new forms of -recreation.. Ginger Rogers in "Tom, Dick, and Harry" tried bowling in a form al dress, danced.to records in a record shop, and• walked home. Who knows? Old Main might be turned into a center for sscial recreation, with. games in the first-floor lounge, five-cent .movies in Little Theatre, and dancing in the Dry Dock. There might even be coedticational badminton in . White Hall. The Home Economics kitchens might be available for the serving • of refresh. ments to small parties. It might be that your fraternity would find the opportimity of doing cooperative buying with the other houses to save money. You can't use the car for fear of wear ing out the tires and 'using' needed' 'gasoline; so' you discover that you enjoy 'walking : .:YOu'lniglit' even take up skiing, or other winter sports: • Then there is this matter of 'suffering. The boys on Wake Island were Americans; about Toth age. The refugee youth of Europe, fleeing fro'in the ruhibling . drums of war, suffering' death' and destruction,were young and agile Ike yourself.' Well, it is all an attitude of mind. Sacrifice is opportunity, emergency service, is new perieriee, suffering eliminates the petty things in life, and hate for the "enemy" hag no intelligent' basis. and is emotionally fatiguing., Yon have 'a new perspective, life really means Sorriething, and your friends are more jrnportant. It is 'too 'bad that it took a war to do this. -J. D. 0 • ; ilk VelA 4 k) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN 21 1.
