Ferdy. settling himself on a snowflake to cool off, "if my Aunt Phoebe wants Ito marry an undertaker, that's her own business; but the whole thing seems rather morbid to me." "I take it you didn't like the wedding last . . meek." I said. "The only thing I like about weddings is the food," he said. "The rest of the procedure seems sort of silly. ofcourse,.since the kids weile . home from school and Aunt Phoebe's rather prosaic, we had to drink our dew-drops straight. The mud pies were pretty good, though. . I always did go for mud. It's-nice for sling shots." • "Did • the kids enjoy it?" I asked. '"Well, yes. Except that because of 'the war in the animal kingdoM, they're being rushed straight through school for three semesters with out vacations in preparation for it. They'd have had a semester vacation, but they had to cut their classes •to attend the wedding under the new set-up." . . ;Were they griped?" "'What kid ever gripes about cutting a class? No, as a matter of fact, they think it's a good idea. Fifty-eight per cent of the kids at their school are in favor of it., I don't know what's the matter with the rest of them. Maybe they have to work during the summer." "Who attended the wedding, Ferdy?" "Oh, every v..rorm from every family tree. The only ones who. annoyed me were four of the kids from school. All they did was sit and play some _game they learned there. Bridge, they called it. •It seems they •spend a lot of their time at it at school. You'd think that with this war going on. they could find something more con structive to do. Oh," well; *maybe it relieves their nerves: or maybe.it keeps them physically fit for defen'se. "My nepheW. George, wasn't there and I missed him. Of course, he's a chemistry major.and they can't afford to cut classes, even for a wedding. He's a hard-working lad, like all chemistry ma- fors. Sometimes I think they aren't appreciated. George wrote me last week, for instance, that he lir.d been sick for a day and had missed one of his zoology labs: They must be pretty tough on them in the diem school because the prof would not give b;rr any extra time to, make up the work. It seems to px) that they could make an exception to their hard and fast rules now and then.'' By this time the snowflake Ferdy was sittine, n had rooked, and he had cooled off. - Got in,; pants wet on that snow," he said. "Better somewhere. and dry 'em off," and Ferdy awung up into a tree. —PIX UY SELL giRAD QECOND IQEMESTER TEXTS EELER'S in the Cathaum Bldg: MitMt M M ■ Letters To The. Editor— Writer Appeals To Penn State Spirit To the Editor It seems everyone is trying to think up new ways of selling de fense stamps and how to raise mciney to give to "Uncle Sam" instead of doing the job • which has been started and thus far is not even half done. What's wrong, gang? Can't we lend a little cooperation to the task at hand? "Blood donors needed." How many times have you seen those printed words in the last few weeks? Penn State, with an en rollment of 6,000 or more students and unable to rally 500 for a war emergency blood bank. Yes, only 91 students have signed to donate blood according to Jacques M. Schwartzberg '44, chairman of the drive. (The remaining 40 donors are townspeople, faculty, special students, etc.) But we are con tinually racking our brains for new ways to help the National Defense drive, when right in our midst is a task floundeting for help. Yes, help which we are able to give , and that doesn't cost a penny. Don't tell me you haven't the nerve to stand an indirect blood transfusion. No, don't ever let it be said that a Penn Stater was afraid, that he failed to support such a. worthy cause as building a blood bank, and that he shirk ed his first duty given him. - Come on, gang. Don't let the bottom fall out of this job at hand. Could you bear having 'someone tell you, "Yes, I heard about Penn State's defense spirit. They tried to build a blood bank and got only 91 students to volunteer." Fight in' words, I call 'em, but then, if it happens, we are the ones to blame. So what do yOu say v7 , e right shoulder arms, march up to Stu dent Union, and sign over a little more red gold. It isn't painful. I have been a blood donor on sev erril occasions and can truthfully say that there is no great suffer ing. Schwartzberg, what, do you think of the idea of keeping a score from day to day to see which class is leading in the drive? The score tq date cs published in Tues day's Daily Collegian would then read: 'Funky - Sophomores Seniors Freshmen All others Well, class .cif '44, we are only four behind those juniors. What do you say we usher out our pals and step into the lead? Sincerely, Phil .Mitchell '44 Student Comments Op-Book Exchange To the Editor Although uncomplimentary, your. editorial about the Book Ex- Change indicates that the Inde 'pendent Party has sponsored pro jects worthy of comment while year after year its opponent ser enely sleeps between • election dates. Your comments seem a bit unfair when you consider how little Coll*giain ever plugged the Exchange when it was in opera tion. - Investigations made long before your comments revealed that classroom space in the Library was the only centrally locaed spot available on campus. Said space was used 25 hours a week and this would necessitate a - commit tee member sitting in on these classes so as to avoid having books "disappear." Remember the Inde pendent Party is financially re sponsible for. every book left at the Exchange and yet election rules allow the party no treasury balance. This means some indi vidual would have to pay for "missing" books. Do you know of any such Santri Claus?

Donor Lists Now Available Fraternities - were __called on last night to do their part in the cam paign to bring a Red CrosS Blood Bank to the campus by sending a representative to Student Union to receive blood donor applica tion blanks for- the members of their house. • The request was made by Jac que& M. Schwartzberg '44; chair man of the campus committee on blood donations and instigF.tor of the blood bank movement on the campus, who pointed out that. the list of signers recently published in The Collegian "was composed of 37 per cent women students, or 48 out of 132, which is a very high ratio in comparison with the 57 male signers." The bah - !nce of the list was made up of faculty, graduate students, and members of the College's grounds and buildings staff. Schwartzberg emphasized that any member of the, campus com munity might sign up r.t 'Student Union, and reminded all students under 21, who were interested in the campaign, that a special par-. ental permission blank was avail able there. When the additional 200 names are entered on the list, the campus committee, in collaboration with the State College Red Cross unit, which sponsored a town arive for doncrs under the guidance of Mrs. J. •Stanley Cobb, will arrange to bring the mobile unit from .. Phil adelphia. . The male 'donations will amount to about 500 . cuNc• centimeters„Oi approximdtely one pint, while.the coeds will . contribute - 250* Cc;s7 hours would :have taxed. our pres ent supply of volunteers. • I. doubt that-the merit Of. a Stu dent BoOk Exchange cz , ,tri be de nied by any one. 'Therefore, I be lieve a worthy suggestion is that the All-College Cabinet be wholly responsible for the operation of an exchange each semester. Thus you would have an organizattion with funds available for expenses such as labor, materials, and space. Even operation at a financial loss but a great student gain would then be possible. The Independent Party is go ing to press Cabinet hard for fhb acceptance of this project which has such great possibilities for benefitting the general student body. Sincerely, Frank R. Flynn '43
