given to Student War Relief and
the same amount was contributed
to the campaign to send the news
"from the Campus to the Camps"
by mailing the Daily Collegian to
men in the services.
With the slogan "Gas is ration

Penn State recreation program for
you," Old Main Open House un
dertook to provide a source of
amusement and entertainment on
weekends that were bare of ether
activities.
The success of the enterprise
can be judged by the attendance
figures. There is no other single
attraction like it on the campus,
nor is there one that can touch the
mark that it has made in provid
ing recreation on a College-wide
basis.
