Advertising Manager _ _ Cnulunte Counselor Thursday, October 1, 1942 What Is Sky-blue? We've got bone to pick with the students and we're not going to excuse any or them unless something's done about what we have to yell bout. In last Friday morning's Daily Collegian, Hans H. Neuberger, head of . the geophysics depart ment, requested the services of 1,000 . students . to help him cariy out an exneriment, which, if the results are consistent with his .theories, will be s . omewhat revolutionary in the field of meteor ology and will help further the science to a great c tent. .The experiment, which •is: an estimation of the degree of sky blue, is One which requires Ili) more than 20 minutes of the student's time. But thus far Dr. Neuberger has not received one experiment result, and he -is quite perturbed about the student body as a whole. Dr. Neuberger expressed the argument that if students are so interested ,in such social affairs as Inter-Fraternity Ball and spend a great deal of 'time in obtaining a date and preparing for the •#.nce in general, he can't understand why they are not willing to spend a short moment to do something truly constructive. 'The geophysics head did not ask much of each •t:udent. He only wanted a few minutes of the student's time to help him with the experiment. But froin this negative reaction of the student. who seems to be quite involved in extra-curricular activities and seems very lax in doing anything Chat will require even a small amount of con scientiousness, it is 'flow evident that student faculty relationship has once more come into con flict. 'We. have been plugging away .asking the stu— dents to "get on the ball." They must realize that, this is a war being fought to a bitter end, and that the reason they are here is to further the nation's War efforts. There is only one way out of the negative reac tion of the student body. That solution is to start giving services when asked; to get last Fri d.ay's issue of the Collegian and read the require ments for Dr. Neuberger's experiment and coop crate with him to the utmost degree. Who said we aren't behind 'the faculty 100 per cent? —S. R The Sale's On • After much deliberation, lntertraternity •Coun .?il has scheduled the beginning of its defense stamp sale for today. The plan, broached several weeks ago at IFC meeting, met with full approval of that group then and since then has been ap proved by practically every individual house. AArith the 100'.'; support which has been promised it, the plan should net an approximate $9OO inonthlv for defense needs. How much will that. amount help the defense effort cannot be ascertained but it should, without tioubt, help out. The question at hand now is `Will it work after the first month's sale?" The first sale will be easily handled and probably get almost perfect response from each house. They \\ ill, though, have to keep up the support they nave promised. the move. It is a worthy one. Why, though, does the organized buying have to be limited to IFC? Other organizations could adopt it almost as easily and make it work as well us it promises to with the originator of the idea. Every organization (most of them are as well or ttanized as IFC) should take up the move and •1 puke Penn Slate's derense effort through buying ;,tamps one of the iyat in the eountr. --R. E. K.
