:P.A.GE TWO *With Your Help, Penn State (Gm Have A Daily Newspaper 'l.'v.w•) weeks from today, All-College elections will be underway, and Penn State politicians will *vie for positions of leadership in student govern- En. past years The Daily Collegian has as an unbiased stand, and has attempted to .3 fair and objective report of the proceedings ,Or both the Campus and Independent political ties. For this reason, the Collegian has re 43)ained in the background of the election battle. This year, however, The Daily Collegian will ct a special interest in the coming elections. the paper will not favor the. Independents, ..•fur wilt it swing its weight with . the Campus ...#a•lrt,y. Instead,. The .Daily Collegian will present 411: own issue—the check-off system—to the stu- Ele»t.body for its approval. la brief, the check-off is a system whereby each sitmleat will pay for a Collegian subscription on r.!i4ular semester fees. This plan is already .2;;(N1 by many of the large colleges and universi -1.i(•:: throughout the nation, and in each case, the -re;:iithi have been decidedly successful. 'Phi:; is not an attempt by the y Collegian to be come tat and rich on a regular income. Instead, );11) , ar is only trying the most feasible plan for i»:;nring daily publication for the duration of the •urn . In times of emergency, few public • services tire of more importance than newspapers, which -srmi.;i: keep America informed about every new am Vital move that the government is taking in -1:1)(.. prosecution of the war. But strangely enough, it is in these times of knnergency that the same newspapers are in the .p.eatest depths financial ggpressipn. It 11.1 s , e4icen estimated that only IQ per cent of the news - ...opens in America are now making a profit, .;;imply because the paper's greatest source , of --morinienue--advertisements—are at a low ebb cur- —,4ing war times. Priorities, price ceilings, and other +•.o , ercstricticons so affect merchants and.bbsiness men, • —Qat they find it useless to' advertise, and as 'a re the .American newspaper must face a serious ..4b,:alcial handicap at a time when it is called fuiloo to perform its greatest service to the nation. • frhe. Daily Collegian is no exception to the rule. ..;ike many other American newspapers, it is in -the midst of a financial depression, and at a time when the paper can be of the greatest service to — Perm State. More important changes are now by the College in one month than were --soirlde during a period of one year during peace linles. Students who are affected by these changes -.Amnia be informed immediately if the College is to the greatest benefits from its accelerated Wartime program. Under the old system, however, it will be prac licatiy impossible for the Collegian to maintain daily publication during the coming semester. But, v,Pith the support of every student, Penn State CAN have a daily paper for the duration of the war, 'fo every student, it will mean only a very slight increase in regular semester fees. In fact, the sub scription price will be reduced about 40 per cent kinder the amount charged for the paper this semester. This reduction will be possible because every student will be paying for the paper through Lis College fees.. Penny for penny, The Daily Collegian fee will - bring you greater returns than any other miscel )fineoUs assessment on your College fees. With your support at the All-College elections, Penn ..F&Ate CAN have a daily paper for the duration. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. "Tor A patter Pew. State" -11 , 1.1n)disned 1940.

He proved beyond a doubt that life can be hell on a sinking carrier set ariite by three •Jap torpedoes. • • His story would fill twenty columns this size, but the part that hit us most was•his description of the men who were refueling the carrier's planes; the scene •he pictured of many of them burning alive as angry flames ignited the gas rushing from the hoses they held while trying to refuel the rapidly:departing aircraft. Then their screams as they fell to the deck, leaving the hoses to kindle the deathly 'inferno. It wasn't a very likeable picture, nor was the idea of Les swimming around in the water for two and a half hours after the order' to abandOn ship came We did take time out over the plecigedance packed weekend to watch Lila Whoolery cut some mean capers with Bud Casselbury at the Kappa formal...while Doris Ward and Don Ratchford watched the proceedings 'from a dark corner...

Diligent, studious Frank Flynn came to Mc- Geary's Pol. Sci. Monday, all thrilled and excited because he had :taken time out to clip a newspaper story concerning a case before the Fed eral Trade Commission, a subject which the class had been discussing at some length several days before. Whereupon, Frank proudly raised his hand after roll had been taken and blankly proceeded to read the story's headline.in the most serious and schol arly manner: "TOOTHPASTE COMPANY HIT ON BEAUTIFUL SMILE." . Following this slashing. bit of news behind the news, the good professor McGeary broke into a loud gutfffaw. But quickly observing that he was entirely alone in his merriment, he stopped and asked Frank to read the head again.

Woods, whose college professors told him he never would be an aeronautical engineer, is the Youngstown-born designer of the Bell Aira- cuda and the Bell Airacobra.
