announced last night that WSGA
Senate will make four $75 "vic
tory awards" as a part of All-Col 7

Charity Still
Begins At Home
With drives being conducted for
everything from Chinese Relief to
the USO, with everybody becom
ing increasingly conscious of the
demand for national and interna
tional assistance, we are likely to
forget that students on this cam
pus need financial help.
It is generally recognized that
the number and amount of avail
able scholarships are proportion
ately far too few for the number
of Penn State students.
Everybody wants more scholar
ships, but only a few people want
them badly enough to take action.
Strangely enough,. the difficulty
lies not so much in securing funds
but in distributing them. • Both
student leaders and administrative
officials are hesitant to accept the
responsibility and work which
regulating awards entail.
Finding an extra $3OO, WSGA
Senate members last night unhesi
tatingly converted the dormant
money into awards. Senate
members agreed that, despite need
for contributions to the war effort,
this money would be spent more
wisely on campus.
• Charity still begins at home.
WSGA Frosh Council

WSGA Freshman Council mem
bers will eat dinner in McAllister

'WSGA Senate meetings.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
PSCA Camp Group
Plans Site Visits
Two possible camp sites for in
coming freshmen will be inspected
by PSCA representatives today,
according to D. Ned Linegar, as
sociate secretary of the Christian
Association.
The committee will inspect
Camp Kanasetake, Fairbrook
Farm, and, time permitting, Camp
Barree and Camp Diamonck
Camp Kanasetake is located 22
miles from State College on Route
45. through Pine 'Grove Mills. Re
presentatives from Maryland, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia
attended an Intercollegiate con
ference held there in June. This
camp holds approximately 250
people.
Fairbrook Farm is located 6
miles from Pine Grove Mills, near
Camp Kanasetake. It can ac
commodate from 40 to 45 women.
Both camps have swimming facili
ties, and other forms of recreation.
Camp. Barree is a Girl Scout
Camp near Nest Mills. Camp
Diamond Valley, the other possi
bility, is the site of the former
freshman camp for men.
There is a possibility that Camp
Kanasetake will be a joint camp
for freshman men and women,
but, as yet, this plan is not defi
nite, Mr. Linegar announced.
. Committee members include
'Gerald B. Maxwell Stine '44, Mar
garet K. Ramaley '44, Ralph W.
Harris '45, Miriam L. Zartman

Students Have Fun
In Crowded Refuge
As Blackout Reigns
By SALLY L. HIRSHBERG '44
As the 9:15 blackout whistle
warned everyone to take immedi
ate shelter last night, numerous
students and townspeople hurried
down the mall and crowded into .
the Corner Room to spend a halt
hour of singing, smoking, joking,
and fun.
This is one time the Penn State
"hello spirit" really functioned.
Strangers invited strangers to
share booths (could it be the
dark?), and a good time seemed to
be had by all.
Thespians Ted Clauss, Mike
Kerns, 'Bud Mellott, Barney Wein
berg, and others went into their
song (and dance) 'as they started
off with "We've pot a Job to Do,"
Penn State's official victory song.
Other "popular" campus tunes
followed.
As the smoke and heat gradually
intensified the Corner Room at
mosphere, we decided to look in
to the State College banquet room,
another blackout refuge.
Ironically enough, we walked
into a well4ighted, air-cooled
room occupied by a lone Summer
session student, Mrs. Mildred S.
Wedge, from Harrisburg, and only
woman in the industrial educa
tion department. •
Working for the state depart
ment in Harrisburg, Mrs. Wedge
is introducing a three months
course in hotel and restaurant
service at the State College High
School.
Mrs. Wedge was present at the
first New York and Philadelphia
blackouts. The noise, confusion,
airplanes, and screaming sirens of
the big cities are indeed a con
trast to the well-organized exhi
bition of last night, she said.
Downstairs again, students were
booming out with "Aloutte."
Sirens and lights—and it was
all over—until next time.
P. S. Ross 13. Lehman, last
year's Collegian editor, spent the
blackout in Chem Physics base
ment with 200 Mac Hall coeds.

est scorers will shoot for the title
at 4:15 p. m. Monday.
In the Columbia Bound tourna
ment, the archer shoots first at a
distance of 50 yards, next at 40
yards, and last at 30 yards, IlVliss
Judge explained. Each distance
is shot in four ends, an end being
equal to six arrows. Therefore,
each archer will shoot 24 arrows
at each distance, she pointed out.
Scoring will be nine points if
the arrow lands in the gold bulls
eye, and seven, five, three, and
one point for each respective ring.
If an arrow hits on a line, the
highest score will be awarded, ac
cording to Miss Judge. If an ar
row falls out of a target, the arch
er will be given five points.
In case of rain tomorrow's con.
test will be postponed until Mon
day, Miss Judge said.
