Chervenak Women’s Editor This Issue Mary Janet Wintei Graduate Counselor Friday, April 10, 1942 Music-Making For Mercy There’ll be singin’ and laughin’ in Schwab Auditorium tonight as Penn State’s music-makers rally vocal forces in behalf of a/ great organiza tion which is more used to giving aid than to being 'helped—the American Red Cross. All students, whether intensive music-lovers or ordinary songsters, will find the sparkling and varied program prepared for this evening a re laxation from worldly-headaches. There is in each of us, an unconscious feeling for music whether vocal or instrumtental. The poets weren’t thoroughly crazy when they spoke of being wafted along on the wings of sound. Now-a-days a little wafting may do us all good hfnd the groups participating tonight can handle the job. Btenefits from the show will go to the Red Cross which has always devoted its forces to the alleviation of public and private hardships in both peace and. war. Great natural disasters have time and time again played,havoc with man kind and man-made structures. Always the white flag with the red symbol has been in the van guard of the forces of mercy. As we students prepare for the time-when we shall don the togs of war we find increased rea son why. the Red Cross should receive our. sup port at this performance. Many are the veterans of World War I that can sing, you the melody about “the one Red Rosie that grows in No-Man’s Land.” Maybe our contribution now as we laugh end enjoy tonight’s program will be returned to some of us a hundred-fold on a bleak battlefield in the not-too-distant future. From a less gloomy viewpoint let us look at a. recent service which meant much to some of our fellow students. When the Allencrtest fire de stroyed student rooms and student clothing the Red Cross was among the first groups to offer .its resources to alleviate their hardships. This minor incident merely serves to illustrate the readiness with which this organization stands prepared to servte. In case of major disaster af fecting a large number of students we can feel sure that the Red Cross will be ready to create order out of chaos. Therefore, it is wise for us to help ourselves .to a share of enjoymlent tonight so that there will be money for someone to enjoy our share of help •tomorrow. Another Big Problem Faced with an almost certain decrease in freshman enrollment, Penn State must now en counter one of the first major problems that has grown out of the present world crisis. Although it is too eai'ly to make an accurate estimate of enrollment for the 'Summer semester, it is believed that the incoming freshman class will not exceed the 1,000 mark. This is in sharp contrast with the total of 1,943 students who en rolled on campus as freshmen during the 1939-40 When World War No. 1 threatened Penn State’s •.freshman enrollment, the College came through with an unique plan, which was very successful b’ecause of the relatively small number of stu dents at Penn State at that time. Each student •simply made a written promise to personally be responsible for getting one' freshman to enroll. The plan was so successful, that prospective students had to be turned away. However, the College has grown tremendously .01 the past two decades., and a similar plan, might not function as well at present. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 ..Louis H.

And that ain’t corn, either." We’re referring to the aches and pains that will result from the so-called “accelerated” College program this summer. It seems incongruous to us that people can shout, “Work harder and longer for defense,” and “Keep physically fit for defense” at the same time. The campus is already littered with sick ’n’-tihed students ajnd professors, who are hang ing by their fingernails on the campus calendar in an effort to stick it out until the semester is After they’ve coasted through the paltry nine day pickup between semesters, they’ll straggle back and struggle through the heat of a heavily loaded summer term. And take it from a worm who knows, this little burg gets mighty hot come June and July. We figured that the idea is to get men through College and into the draft as quickly as possible. At the same time, campus defense workers are discovering that more college students flunk de fense physicals than any other rrien. Call Of Nature Maybe it’s because they have more mental than physical activity. Maybe this should be taken into consideration during the hot summer months. Plans have been started for out-door activities next semester. There’s no reason why they couldn’t fcje expanded to include All-College hikes, picnics, and sports activities. No, it doesn’t sound like a picnic, but if the govern ment can handle a couple million mien in one, the campus can handle a few thousand. Andther thing that scares us is the double day light saving time. We’re • wondering what the rtew Judicial head is going to do 'when coeds break the 10 o’clock rule as the sun is' setting. We think 11, o’clocks would save the authorities a lot of trouble. Here’s thp point, fellas! Let’s keep out of doors this summer as much, as- possible, .even if it means listening to lectures. under a -willow tree, hiking in the rain, dancing in the moon light, and getting tapped by some honorary in front of the library. So it’s yours till the Red Cross benefit' concert tonight. You'll Enjoy The Use Mepn Classifieds —FERDY Corner unusual CAMPUS CALENDAR TODAY Hillel evening services.
