WSG "rive To Help
By MARGARET L. GOOD '45
Editor's Note: This is the first
of three feature articles describ
ing organizations which will re
ceive contributions in the annual
WSGA Christmas Drive.
Penn State women have a plea
to answer this year from approxi
mately one hundred orphan chil
dren. It is a simple one that has
been met in part other years. They
ask College coeds to give them a
Merry 'Christmas.
It is easy to say, "Have a IVlerry
Christmas," with nonchalance be
cause gifts and happiness are taken
for granted to the extent that one
stops to think very few seconds
about people whose Christmases
are far from being complete. Per
haps it would be well to stop and

—it is $4OO. Is that too much for
1,776 coeds to give? With 25 cents
from every woman, the goal could
easily be reached. Before giving to
the representative who will con
tact each person, coeds should ask
themselves, "Is 25 cents all I can
contribute to a child without a
Christmas?"
Members of the WSGA House
and WSGA Freshman Council will
contact coeds beginning tomorrow
and continuing for a week. Women
are urged to contribute as individ
uals in their particular living unit
and not toward a group fund in
sororities. Every woman living in
a sorority will be contacted to give
what she feels is her part and not
an amount designated by the soror
ity; according to Drive leaders.
Community Playroom
Started To Relieve
Women in War Work
Cooperation is the keynote in
State College's newest contribu
tion to Uncle Sam's.war efforts. A
special kindergarten has been
started to look after young chil
dren of town mothers who are do
ing war work.
The State College community
playroom originated as a coopera
tive venture when - local mothers
were hindered from. doing war
work- because of a lack of domes
tic help.
Under the supervision of train
ed directors, the plan has already
met with the instantaneous ap
proval of many students on camp
us. Cwens, sophomore women's
activities honorary, one- of Prof-
Edward , Abramson's sociology
classes, and volunteer coeds are
among the first to enlist in the
project.
Mrs. M. N. McGeary and Mrs.G. N. Leetch are co-chairmen of
the State College community play
room, which started yesterday.
Four children initiated the head
quarters at 113 East Park avenue.
A request was made that town
girls volunteer their aid to the
project for the Christmas vaca
tion. Coeds interested in working
with the group next semester may
sign up at the PSCA office.
We Jhe Women
WSGA Christmas: Drive Needs United Push;
Charity Record Is Yours For The Breaking
Following tradition, WSG A .
House of Representatives will con
duct its annual Christmas• drive
for donations to a 'three.4benefici
ary charity fund, starting tomor-
row and continuing for a week.
Breaking tradition, the House
has set its goal for $4OO, which
is $272 more than was collected in
last year's drive. •
Divided among three loan and
charity organizations, money do
nated will gO to the American Wo
men's Hospital Corps, Mifflin
County Children's 'Aid .Society,
and Mrs. Hetzel's Emergency Loan
Fund. These societies are organized
to help worthy and needy families
and students.
Although last year's receipts
were lower than in previous sea
sons, the highest amount ever col
lected was $253, according to
WSGA records. This year, women
will attempt a new high because
of mounting needs and increased
enrollment which will make pos
sible a larger donation.
Going toward funds needed for
family expenses including doctor
bills, glasses, clothing, food, and
commencement fees, the money is
appreciated by hundreds of recipi
ents each year.
Letters come to WSGA follow
ing the holiday each season ex
pressing gratitude for slight fav
ors on our part which bring hap

freshman Meeting
WSGA'S second attempt to
.of
fer some sort of, class celebration
for freshmen women was blocked
last night when-Mrs. Curtis Bok,
recently announced as speaker for
a meeting set for Monday, Decem
ber 7, wired that she could not be
present at the affair.
Because crowded conditions in
dining coeds rooms make it impos;
sible to hold the annual freshman
banquet, WSGA, cooperating with
PSCA, began plans for a substi
tute affair, a women's mass meet
ing with Mrs. Bok as speaker.
Although no third attempt is itn
minent, the general committee,
composed of representatiVes of
WSGA, PSCA, and WRA, Stated .

tributions. They represent each'lly:
ing quater and will call on all
women.
The abject and desire of the
House. is to have each coed give
as much- as possible to this.wor
thy cause._
It has been pointed out that if
each woman will give 25 cents,
the qtkrta would be reached with
a $54 surplus. This would mean an,
all-out effort. Is it too much ;to
ask?
Is it too much to ask of 'persons
,who are just beginning to feel ;the_
effects 'of war through a little:in- -
nocent rationing?
Is it too much to ask persons
who can hardly imagine that such
deplorable conditions even exist?
Is it too much to expect of per
sons who look forward to Christ-.
mas as a holiday that means plen
ty for all?
WSGA feels confident that it is
not. Other years have given the
organization that confidence •and
this wartime year will no doubt
inspire a record-breaking drive.
It may be a bit• early to expreSS
the Christmas spirit, but how much,
better that is than a Christmas'
spirit that doesn't show up atall.-:'
