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. •

What will checkers do in Atherton and Grange
dorms when it’s three minutes after ten and the
sun is just settling over Mount Nittany this Sum
mer? Will Sol give coeds’ legs a break? WilL
school “marms” from all around snatch men
right from under coeds’ noses with their slinky
cars . . . and a tire shortage, too?
Coeds' Lament
What will we do
When skies are blue
And “teachers” throng this place?
When beer flows frde
In chug-a-lug glee „
Will Qean Ray let us race?
What will we wear
To make men stare
Will shorts become the style?
And will we date
And stay up late
Or will “ma'rms” cars beguile?

It was intermission at the Phi .Delt’s Bowery
Ball. The orchestra was resting; dancers recup

girlish voices, the sound of tearing paper. How
were they to know there was a loudspeaker in
the powder room.

Drivel
Jean Davis, Ath Hall cu'tie, wins laurels for
hiding her light under the bushel longer than any
other coed. She was married a year and four
months ago to a Lehigh graduate, now with Uncle
Sam. Renee Marks and Evie Kohler, theta frosh,
are now footloose and fancy free.
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.
