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.

Summer Fever
Great aches grow from little corns. 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.
