We've Waited Long Enough
TagnMn • wirMeTil
Recently seniors were called upon to vote for
choice of three arbitrarily and ill-chosen
It lift suggestions. Results of that hurried election
_lnwe not been announced. Therefore, since a re
:oort editorial criticizing the prapOsed gifts , met
- with no little approval we feel free to offer
other propOtal which may be considered.
This suggestion is of at least equal merit with the
zeatterbrainea nominations and has desirable
!qualifications not'possessed by the others. For
'Tony years now the cry of students and the dreain
-of faculty has been a Student ,Union
"Wait; we knot# thdt one can't build such Uzi edi
•fice with a measly $5;001! However, the plan dco
root aspire to that much.
Naturally, the exigencies. of• the times will re
:Arid extensive Opera c tions for 'many years to
come. By investing the class money in War *lnds
;and ear-marking it for a Student Union Building
Yund it will be pbssible tb line up other clas.
gifts for the same pr'Oject. Once more, hold on!
We recognize that it would PrObably take about
1.00 years to build up the necessary sum for the
.diiiarn building. That's not the idea.
• A broaci-scale building program has been inter
rupted by this is over and normal
.7cs:ivities are resumed, the questicifi of the
Stu
dont Union Building will once more arise. A long
4.arz.ge plan such as outlined here would carry cOn
tiderable weight with the legislature or building
+committee as evincing student desires. At the same
time the War Bonds would have matured.
'Should grants be made for a Student Union
Building which disregard such a student fund,
'the class gifts and alumni donations could be ef
fectively- used to buy equipment for long awaited
campus addition.•
There are many other advantages to this pro
posal which cannot be discussed here because of
..i:pace restrictions. We feel that such a project is
loasible and should be presented to a carefully
controlled vote of the seniors before the $5,000 is
Squandered on a gift which will do lithe for the
squandered o na gift which will do little for the
ACollega and which will bring small glory to its
donors.
We'll Gather Together
We'll gather together to 4' ask the Lord's bless
ing" in Schwab Auditorium tomorrow morning in
specia.l Thanksgiving service, the first of its kind
..on campus.
IVlabe we won't get the chance .to sit around the
Family table this Thanksgiving because of the war,
but at least we'll be able to attend Thanksgiving
.services; that's one thing the war can't prevent
...our doing.
While Schwaib , Auditorium hardly compares to
al lofty cathedral, the College is making every at
.tempt to present worthwhile program for. those of
us who are staying - here over the holiday.
Much of the credit for preparing the special
event must go to the Inter-church Council, the
College Chapel Committee, the PSCA, and Presi
dent Hetzel who first presented the idea for the
-ceremony.
Holding such a program is another milestone
passed since the war engulfed our nation: Along
with coffee, gasoline and rubber rationing, we
must cheerfully accept travel limitations that
prevent us from attending good old-fashioned
.'Turkey dinners and church services at home.
They'll never ration a cheerful spirit. so get up
nnii bring :*pith you tomorrow morning.

A Lean and Hungry Look
Tame in comparison to the Dio
nysiac revels of the Greeks was the
brew stew of , the Delta Chi's t'other
night in celebration of George Pitten
ger's ascendancy to the throne vacated
by Great God Plesser. According to
our usually-capable spy, Tredwynkle,
the amber liquid flowed to such an
extent it cleaned the Moor better than tki'
the cleansing of the Augean .stables.
Cum Grano salis, however, was the
way we took Tredwynkle's • report. •
We are too. well aware of Wyn . kie's "
vicarious pleasures—and he has just . A .
finished De Quincey's "Con fessioni . of ;an OpiuM.
Eater."
As long as we're on the subject of brew, a
pi
quant thought impugned itself Upon our besotted,
senses. Shuddering at the thought of drinking— .
water, we suddenly realized that news is strangely
scarce regarding the Senior Class Gift. Can this
mean they are golrig to give War !Boixis,•the reve
nue on which—when they mature = will re=finance
students forced to leave . College for the stricter
task-maker—Mars? Imagine! Ten years after the
war When sufficient pelf has accumulated froth .
the Bonds, we can all shave our beards and re
turn to sleep through more credits for our sheep
skin. . .
Mid, but hold! Mayhaps tie arid Seniors will go
through with the drinkißg-fountain-in-the-quad
rangle idea. Oh, happy thought! Oh, Nuts!
o
Thanksgiving Another joyous reflection. How
DOES the College arrive at its decisions? Mean
ing no disrespect, .but if Collegian classifieds are
any indication; there will be a dearth of ‘‘ . ck , "ior.,
tpr.i. students" in Plis HorOudti of irqkiii.o.u6n4ss

Penn State In China
eleases Finance I': eport
Reports of the Financial Standing of the Penn
State in China Committee, and a report of the at
tempt .by Lingnan University to continue teaching
classes during the present war; were released sim
ultaneously by Dean Emeritus R. L. Watts, of the
School of Agriculture, who is a trustee of Lingnan
where Penn State in China 'is located.
-. ln Dean Watts' report on the conditions sur
rounding the attempt to keep Lingnan :University
functioning, he pointed out that, "Imrnedi4tely be
fore the surrender of Canton, China, practically
the entire student body and teaching staff were
able to reach Hong Kong.
"Although overcrowded with students, the Uni
versity of Hong Kong offered the use of tits class
rooms, laboratories and library to Lingnan and,
by hblding classes at night and when rooms were
unoccupied by HOng Kong students, alinost the en
tire program of instruction was continued.
"Following the siege Of Hong Kong a large per
centage of Lingnan's students and teachers *escaped
to' Pingshek where the L,ingitan College of Agricul
ture, was already established. Several temporary
buildings were erected, the studefit enrollment is
very satisfactory and the students and faculty dis.:
played a spirit in keeping with that of all free
China."
Major item of interest on the Financial report
was the $l,BOO contribution to Liugnan University.
A. complete report was also released by the .corn-
