For Debate Positions
Thirty-six students, both upper
class and freshmen, ariSwered the
call to try out for the men's var
sity debate squad at the prelimin
ary •meeting held Tuesday night,
Robert S. MacNabb '45, debate
manager, announced last night.
Assigned a topic which they
may discuss . in any manner they
please, the candidates must speak
for .five minutes on "The Problems
of The Peace" at tryouts proper to
lie held in 316 Sparks at 7 p. m.
Tuesday. At that time,4the selec
tion. of an as yet undetermined
number of men for the varsity
will be made on the basis of the
speeches, MacNabb said. •
Students who still wish to par
ticipate in forensic activities,• even
though they were unable to attend
the preliminary meeting, may do
so by contacting Prof. Joseph F.
O'Brien, men's debate coach, in
his office in Sparks Building at
their earliest convenience.
Letters From Camps
Show Soldiers Want
Campus News, Gossip
"From the campus to the camps"
is the slogan behind'the campaign
to send The Daily Collegian to
Penn State men in the armed ser
vices and to camps where there
are Penn State men.
From all parts of the• country
have come letters asking for news.
"What's new on the campus?"
"What's the dirt?" and similar in
quiries are frequent in letters from
the soldiers. Daniel G. Gillespie
'44 says his brother, who is sta
tioned in Giorgio, never fails to
ask about school and his old
friends.
The same is true of letters from
a recent graduate now in Okla
homa. Lt. Andrew Tarapchak
writes that he wants very much to
know what is happening here,
about the football team, and lots
of other things.
Then there are the letters that
say how the college papers are
read. One boy writes that a fel
low in his company receives the
publication of Louisiana State U.
"Before that paper is thrown out,
it has been read by so many fel
lows it's in shreds," he writes.
These are only a few instances
of what the boys in the service
would like to knoW, and of the
letters than Penn Staters have
been receiving from their. soldiers.
With this idea in mind, a group
of- representatives from various
campus .organizations is meeting
today -- hilliePSCA - offites - to " out-:
line a formal campaign to raise a
fund to send The Daily Collegian
to as many Penn State men as
possible.
Opening gun will be fired to
night when the Old Main Open
House committee will donate the
proceeds frorn the first session to
the fund. Two sophomores, Mar
garet L. Good and Joan R. Piol
let, will occupy a 'booth in the lob
by of Old Main during. Open House
to take individual subscripticins.
Anyone desiring to contribute_
part of a. subscription may leave
it with these coeds in Old Main
tonight, and subscriptions will be
mailed out as fast as the money is
-available.
Collegian Not Coming!
Maybe This Is The Cause
At least 16 subscribers aren't
getting their Daily Collegian, and
the Collegian Office knows why.
Comparable to the post office's
dead letter office is one portion
of the Collegian's subscription
file. • Here are filed 'the subscrip
tiori blanks with insufficient ad
dresses and in some cases no ad-
arps - ses.
If B. Ficca, J. Wallet, I. S.
Berney, Suzanne Hartswick, Peg
gy Lou 'Leach, Charles Flanger,
Dean Zong, N. Byerly, Elaine
Freed, George Meyer, Beverly
Chase, and the holders of sub
sceiptions number . 120, 696, 1423,
1424 and 1426; will come to or
call Collegian Office, the circu
lation department will take down
their correct names arid addresses
and insure future delivery.
Students may check on their
subscription numbers by referring
to their• Collegian Dance tickets;
Robert E: Edgerly, circulation
manager explained.
All Collegian subscription
-olicitors• were asked by the
Business Manager of the Daily
Collegian to spend their sand
wich hours today selling sub
scriptions in front of the
Armory.
