Managing Editor This Issue News Editor This Issue Women’s Editor This Issue Graduate Counselor Louis EL Bell Thursday, April 16, 1942 ißioodl Drive Obituary Several months ago an unusual request was made of healthy, patriotic citizens who wished to itassist the armed forces. They were asked to give a living part of themselves so that others might live. Today the 1,200 students, faculty members, and townspeople who responded to the call of the Red Cross 'blood plasma bank find that they are temporarily unneeded and unwanted. • After conducting a spirited campaign since Christmas, local leaders have received word that the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Red Cross will be unable to bring their mobile unit to Penn State. Washington has defined their territory as the area in a fifty-mile radius of the •‘City of Brotherly LoVe. Attempts to have a similar unit arrive from Pittsburgh have met with little success and it is thighly probable that the pledge signees will have ..graduated and joined the services.before such a -unit shows 'up. The 342,000 pints of blood set as a national quota for July 1 can now be easily completed by collections being made in 18 large ■•cities. However, local supporters of the drive should yaot feel to discouraged with the temporary out come inasmuch as the Office of Civiliaai Defense 'if. considering establishing local blood banks for minor emergencies: - Blood donor cooperation would then be most welcome. •In addition, although it would not .'be a paying proposition for. the" Red Cross to send special equipment here, it must be remembered that Pittsburgh and Philadelphia authorities have the -needed facilities. By stopping for a painless contribution at either of these two centers, you can still do your bit. Biggest tragedy of the local disappointment is seen in the many hours and hard work put into the project by all supporters and particularly Jacqties Schwartzburg ’44, leader of the student solicitors, and Michael A. Fan-ell, head of the department of bacteriology. Professor Farrell would have directed the local processing of the blood. He has some equipment •but not sufficient to tackle the job as it now stands. Both he and Schwartzburg have made Herculean efforts to promote the plan. To them and all who signified their cooperation a word of thalnks and appreciation is due for a job well 'attempted. Ilfs Your Picnic Today a ceremony will take place. at Penn State’s Main Gate that should interest every Penn State student, but will profitably se,rve only u.i an anti-climax for the recent hectic political campaign. Arranged at a time most advantageous for the .majority of the student body, it is your chance to hear Blakeslee, Morse, and Baird present their views on campus student government at our Al ma Mater, and also have a chance to meet the newly-elected members of All-College Cabinet. More than ever the Cabinet will serve in the most important functional capacity in our student government under the guidance of the All-Col lege president-elect, but the deciding factors in ilie trying times during the hot Summer and Fall semesters will be your, opinions on current cam pus problems, so it is your duty and privilege to bmnv these student leaders. It will be your picnic this Summer. Why not iV.) to Co-op Corner today to see the framework of the picnic basket, because you will have to rry the load. • Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 Fred E. Clever Donald L.

College Speedups In order to gain the victory in this dreadful war and also to win the peace at its conclusion the nation must have a steady flow of educated leaders. This is not only true for the military forces and governmental agencies, but equally so for industry, business and the professions. Very wisely has the selectfve service made provision for deferment of induction of those col lege students training to be physicians, dentists, veterinarians, 'engineers, physicists; chemists, biologists, geologists. Because of the lowering of the minimum age for selective service, most of the colleges have decided to accelerate their programs. For some years about ’two-thirds of the member colleges in the Association of American Colleges have had Summer sessions. The length of these sessions lias varied from six to twelve weeks. The tend ency now is for colleges to have full Summer quarters of twelve weeks in length. With this acceleration in the college program, the capable student will be able to complete graduation requirements in three years. If simi lar acceleration can be made in the grades, an other year can be saved in the educational pro cess. For brilliant pupils it has l>een possible for some time to save a year in the pre-collegq programs. With the saving of the two years suggested above, the a’verage young man should be able to complete his college course and be ready for the call to selective service at the age of 20. Colleges are making changes in the curriculum to meet the exigencies of the situation. New courses have been added and to others have been given a bias of a military nature.
