What's Your Prize?
• • Have you noted anything since your return to
vchool after the recent vacation? Don't you think
tudents. are more conscious of doing their bit to
aid the war effort?
Look at just one new movement of your student
governthent. Selling raffle tickets for defense
iltamps.' Yesterday's Collegian carried full details
of the plan—one raffle ticket with the purchase of
a 25-cent defense stamp, three rafile tickets by
buying 50 cents worth of defense. stamps. Winner
Hof the raffle will get the basketball used during
the game, and the holder of the second number
drawn will get a subscription for himself or whom-,
ever he designates, preferably a serviceman.
WRA has given consent to the committee to use
:4;250 for advance purchase of the stamps, and
3kortar Board and Cwens have volunteered to sell
the stamps and raffle tickets at the game and Cor
ner Room. Tickets - will go on sale Friday at Stu
dent Union.
, What 'die Collegian would like to see is a greater
number of "prizes" offered at the game. Not every
4one can• use a basketball, for instance, and a sub
.ncription doesn't add much to the array. Why can't
4;4:me other campus organizations help foster the
nale of defense stamps by donating additional
'4rwards and making the event a real raffle. Their
investment. in a prize would increase student in
vestment in defense stamps.
This is the first affair of its kind at Penn State,
at least since the last war. The success of this
initial venture will determine whether it will be
tried at the next Saturday night basketball game,
or dropped. It may be possible, if student recep
tion permits, to stage a raffle at a boxing match.
Compare this raffle to a "regular" raffle where
:I variety of prizes are available. Persons or groups
::ponsoring other raffles can have more awards be
cause they can take cost of prizes out of ticket
money. But at Penn State's raffle, the student
keeps his money in the form of a defense stamp,
and no cash expense is involved except temporary
investment of money in advance purchase of
tamps. The prizes have to be donated.
Associated activities have donated the basket
ball. The second prize (or perhaps fifth if organi
zations contribute other awards) is a small ex
:oense : ,to this paper. Let's have some wide-awake
campus activities and organizations make the
'stakes bigger. Let's have drawing after drawing
between halves at the Colgate basketball game
Saturday.
Contact Bill Briner, Delta Chi, leave a message
at the Collegian office, or notify anyone on the
xaffle committee. This is the triali.run.-Lit haS to
click.

A Big Decision
' Student Union Boardmeets Thursday to deter
mine the exact social calendar for next semester.
Whether any dances are to he cut, combined, or
:idded is one of the matters they will decide and
report back to All-College Cabinet. Everyone is
;.anxious about the outcome, for many future plans
'depend on it. Student Union Board has a big job
on its hands. The student body is expecting
wise decision.

A Lean and Hungry Look
By Milton Dolinger
Allah illallah bismillah al rahmin
. . . and as the muezzin's prayer
echoes and reverberates through the
fast fading dusk, the Eunuch once
snore gathers his lovely maidens
about him and starts the oft-told tale
of the Thousand and One Nights:
"Know you then, 0 beloved of Allah,
Ir
the tale of Mary Beaver White Hall, tt ci'
,
the hareem of a place known to men ' l 4 l
as Pennsylvania State College in the i • ,
uncivilized land of the ferocious In- . • -•, . .
dians. You damsels chide and chafe at
the silken fetters that bind you to the
seraglio of the most noble, the Caliph of Baghdad,
but hark to the story of White Hall, the domain of
the illustrious Miss Marie Haidt.
"Now in this temple of femininity and I might
add dubiously of pulchritude, lies equipment
enough to add masculine muscles to the most
feminine of 'the weaker sex'—mind, you morsels
must understand that such ideas would only ap
peal to the Ameer-can women; you delight in the
more delicate arts—and yet, these women in that
dell of learning do not take advantage of acquiring
strapping physique's which the odd men of that
place apparently regard higher than the soft, cud
dlesome hetaera of our land. But I stray, since the
ko-eeds do not fully employ the intricacies of
White Hall, the question Wils posed, 'Why not al
low the men students to utilize the splendid facili
ties of the gynaeceum which include a swimming
pool, bowling alleys and other weird devices for
indulging in physical sport?'
"Such course was thrown out as absurd by the
women in charge. They apparently have forgotten
their own successful petitions to the dominant men
for greater privileges. 'Tis even whispered in the
Caliphate that women, have .taken oypr:maW,ap
parel in that strange land—but: again. I digress.
Revenons a nus moutons, or to get ; back to the tale
as the French put it, why .then could not 'White
Hall be used on certain ore,designated 'occasions
for 'Open Houses' to the
,mutual enjoyment of both
sexes?
"But alas and woe, Miss Haidt, who I am told is
a right sincere person, has closed up her ears to all
arguments put forth by the. 'male suffragettes' for
the emancipation of her little kingdom of health.
"So, my little desert flowers, there is yet hope.
In the mountain fastness Of Penn State there still
lingers an establishment . which regards the sanc_
tity of women at play as something not to be 40-
filed by coarse men. In that respect, .it is to be
looked upon as one of our brotherhood, and tonight
when you pray to as a blessing that White
Hall remain as it is."
And as the sun sets in far-off Arabia and
rets start to gleam in the moonlight, the maidens
of the Caliph go to rest to dream df the magic
carpet and sheiks on white horses . . . •
I:iM3
Addenda: The gossip-mongers would have us be
lieve that Benjamin Mosser Bailey Jr., of the Mil
lersburg Baileys, is planning to give up this care_
free state of celibacy for the other alternative.
Tredwynkle, our rumor runner-downer, roused
himself from his wine-besotted lethargy long
enough to dash cold water on Bailey's well-wish
ers . . . Apropos of nothing, we' wonder how long
the local psychiatrists are going to let The Great
Emancipator run wild about 'the campus making a
pest of himself with his grandiose delusions before
more so-called "normal" persons. E'en though the
line betwixt psychopaths and we "normal" people
is of the most tenuous fibre, these are 'trying times
—and the line gets more worn every day.-
'Tis almost lugubrious the way the students are
responding to the Victory Book Drive. Whilst
passing the gaily-bedecked haven for books which
have answered the call reposing alongside the Cor
ner, we noticed with fiendish relish a ponderous
tome that fairly reeked of erudition. And although
Miss Rita Mae Miller of the library Staff, and a
committee-woman of the book drive assured us the
soldiery were hungry for technical books, that one
looked as if it would . - cause quite some indigestion
before digestion sets hi. The army; kind reader,
has all but outlawed liberal arts .studies, as you
may dimly recall—but the men who• do the fight
ing haven't. They still want a good book to read,
and the last we heard, literature still - comei under
the heading of Liberal Arts.
Efl3
Ah, weel, let us now turn our faces to Mecca and
think genteel thoughts of the day when the meek
will inherit the earth—and welcome to it.
