He is Allan W. .ostar, a freshman. First official word of the drive came when Ostar appeared before All-College Cabinet Monday and asked that body's approval to start a nucleus for the campus chapter Also helping to initiate the move is Stephen inichak, president of the Russian Club„ who is .qudent advisor to the Russian War Relief Com !tnittee of State College. Townspersons and facul ty are members of this group, headed by Rev. !edward M. Prear, -- pastor of the Episcopal Church. `The Penn State chapter is part of the Philadelphia district organization whose president is retired President Beury, of Temple University. Starting from scratch six days ago, Ostar and Titnichak collected the `first 1100 contributions and distributed Russian War Relief pins to the 100 members which now form a nucleus for the drive. :Ilince then Prof. Carl W. Hasek has been made faculty advisor to the group, and indications point to a successful chapter. Tutting cudit where it is due, Ostar and Sin dchak deserve mention for their worst in origiriat jag and pushing the Relief plan. Russia needs aid, tired it is time for Penn 'State students to help in that field. Among the tentative plans of the chap ter are a benefit dance, a benefit movie, and pos vibly a prominent speaker. A meeting of the nucleus, that is, the first 100 :Penn State student contributors, will be held in the near future when committees will be appoint ed. Plane for coming benefit activities will be )nade, and first arrangements will be made for getting a prominent speaker to be sent( by the !Philadelphia organization. An obstacle to the lat ter movement may be student convocation which )riust be called before the speaker will appear Let's cooperate with this group•which worked up from nowhere to sponsor' this unselfish pro ject,'and admire the ambitions of a freshman who )las pushed the project this far. December Reaping About two weeks from now a class will gra duate from the Pennsylvania State College. Re 'cent figures indicate that approximately 1,000 rtudents' will get baccalaureate degrees from this 'institution, or slightly more than one-half the 1,900 who entered Penn State as freshmen in :3eptember, 1939. Many fell by the wayside for .reasons so numerous to mention .that it would take a couple volumes of sociological and psycho ')ogical knowledge to tell why. The armed servic es have quite a few of the boys who would have graduated this December. A number of persons who give little support to the Summer semester plan, and those who at l'irst opposed it, should easily be able to see how useful the Summer semester has been. The 1,000 who will get degrees in two weeks ordinarily would not have graduated until next May. And looking to the future, how certain is anyone of what will happen even in January, let alone May? It may have been tough studying this Sum mer, and perhaps some things didn't sink in like I hey might have otherwise.

Bell I ,t);;:) A Lean and Hungry Look By Milton Dolinger War has finally made its influ ence felt on The Daily Collegian. A new edict by the powers that be on the paper have ordered that hence forth each and every columnist should append his name to , his liter- _ ary outpourings—gossip and other- . wise. As representative of the other wise, we follow suit. And even ei* other- ` II 1.1 ; - though Cassius has given way to the name above, we are still going to re- Ikk,.. main 'Ca§sius as before in spirit and deed if not in reality. A Last week's ebullitions brought forth the query concerning .the Senior Class gift. To date, no answer has been forth-coming. Today, gentle reader, we are prying into a resolution passed some time ago by the omnipotent All- College cabinet. To wit, Cabinet went on record as being in favor of a minimum wage for students employed in various "industries" throughout the town. The munificent wage at present is 35 cents an hour, which is the amount paid by NYA and the College. Several town places are paying their student employees less than that' sum per hour. Mayhaps it is the prestige these joints feel that they impart to their employees, but 'tis an ahomaly that they charge the highest prices (tor food) and pay the lowest wages. The Old Main "hole-iti-the-wall," Student Union, has on hatiii a veritable pile of pla cards with Cabinet's resolution on it—but no ef forts at distribution are being made. Why? Henrik. ,Ibsen was :reincarnated upon the Schwab stage last night when the Players pre sented "Ghosts," acid we heartily agreed with the resurrection. 'TiS a sad commentary on stud ent intelligence:that these Collegians emulated the sardines in the recent Thespian show - , while they which Theaway froma show the seeing of which The Bookworm in his Centre Daily Times colunin said was a prerequisite for a liberal education. Whilst glancing through this . month's issue of Fortune Magazine, we sighted an article on the war doings of America's colleges and universities. Interest high, we searched for some mention of Centre County's proudest possession, but alas, nary a notice. Cornell was there, replete with pic tures and statistics. Far above Cayuga's waters, they have cht out many things we still regard as indispensable where the vale of Old Mount Nit tany, etc. • In an impressive looking report in a recent Faculty 'Bulletin; bearing the heading "Report of the Special Committee to Appraise The Accelerat ed PrOgram," was the statement which we here append: "This College was one of the first to a dopt an. accelerated program and it has ac celerated more completely than most institu tions." Granting that premise, why is it that we are not ranked—nay, why is it that we are not even mentioned by the editors of that Midasean magazine. —Addenda: Reading the plethora of army news lately, we came across something which read FAWS Galbraith. Piqued no end, We fasten ed to FAW's office, only to be repulsed by a, line which resembled the Mannerheim. Until we can find out then, faws, Gal, faws! Some ignoble freshman, pretender to notorie ty, has been sending us letters and columns which resemble so much high school balderdash, we grow nauseous to read it. So if itty bitty "Liberal Artist '46" will reveal herself (handwriting de notes the sex), we would -like to put her on the right path before she apes Lot's wife. Teen Age Draft WASHINGTON—(ACP)—As this is written the president "has signed the 'teen age draft bill. Its impact. will be felt at once by colleges and universities throughout the nation.• About one-third of 'all male collegians are 18 or 19 years old. Prospects for these men sum up about like this: Approximately 25 per cent probably won't be taken because of physical disabilities. Those already enlisted in college reserve training courses won't ibe taken—they are already in the army and, apparently, passage of the bill won't appreciably affect theft present status. The same goes for those in senior ROTC. AIL ctll,:i: 18 and 19 year old colL:• , students THE DAILY COLLEGIAN * 9 n= CM= —Cassius ive, she Women A Woman Speaks .. . Who Will Listen?

We're in doubt about the female attendance, because coeds are un predictable. On sorority Founders' Days they turn out en masse and reserve seats • for themselves near the front. On houseparty weekends, they don their newest hats and talk about that one service and speech for a month afterward. • When speech profs make listen.. ing assignments, coeds go With pencil rand paper and listen atten tively. Rushing seasons bring hundreds of "special guests." Yet, when an outstanding speak er is announced, coeds "are just too sleepy," or have to study that a. .m. • This time, we're asking hard. This time .women are.going to be conspicuous by their absence. And this time, they're going to miss something if they sleep through.
