Which Must Not Fail
All sorts ot' drives to raise money on campus
for various causes have either failed or only been
ymiderately successful in the past. Last night, All-
Coliegs Cabinet voted to organize another drive
•which must not fail.
The American Red Cross is asking the Penn
•State student body to contribute to their March
Juembership drive on which will hinge the future
of this organization.
• ft seems useless to go into detail about just what
the Red Cross is and what it has done in the past.
Everyone knows the Red Cross and realizes Its
purpose and the degree to which it fulfils it. But
will everyone contribute?
Last year the was able to gather
!];j.30,000,000 in its country-wide campaign. This
jyear they need more because the increased wax
activity proportionately increases the needs for
organizations such as the Red Cross.
This is to be an ail out nation-wide drive. You
wont hear much about war bonds and stamps
during March. Government agencies will be re
placing their publicity outlets with “Join The
Red Cross.” The campus drive will be just one
very small cog in the vast “give” machinery.
The student committee appointed last night is
already busy making plans to contact every stu
dent for his contribution. This will take a lot of
time and work. There will be calls for students
,1.0 aid in various ways the pi-ogress of the drive.
The need will be great.
Upon the willingness of some students to do
-3j a i:e their services for the campaign depends the
primary success of the drive. But the real test
will come when, every student is called upon to
give. —R. D. S,
Smtiiff It Out
Smoking is a vice which has been generally
accepted socially, but which sometimes is not
proper, safe, or healthful in many places.
And Rec Hall is one building where it is ad
visable not to smoke. Even the idea of athletics
and smoking doesn’t mix. Athletes go through
strict training periods, giving up many “softening”
luxuries, and most of all, as far as this article is
Concerned—smoking.
• Throughout the week the basketball player,
lioxer, gymnast and wrestler gives up smoking to
get in better physical shape; then, when the cru
cial moment comes, when he should be in peak
condition, he has to inhale smoke.
, It’s not because any one group is looking for
something to clamp down on, and found the Rec
iiaU Smoking problem a good target. It’s because
live practice is harmful to everyone.
Next time you go to Rec Hall for an athletic
contest and see a “No Smoking” sign at the bottom
of the scoreboard, take it a little more seriously
than you have in past. After all, people do like
to breathe when they watch games.
Manpower
Shoveling snOW used to be an occupation in
peace time, and it still is part of many persons’
jobs in wartime, especially when it causes incon-
venience.
But Collegian doesn’t think snow which has
piled up between the street and the pavement
causes inconvenience. This paper’s theory is to
the effect that the snow will melt eventually.
What is the object of that statement? Men from
grounds and buildings have been, seen clearing

It appears that since the boys and girls have
settled down for a mid-semester rest, there are
few new alliances to report. Only one guy got his
pin back, but “Poopsi” didn’t get his name straight
so vve can’t tell you that . . . more, and more the
trend is going toward the pin and run jpbs. . . .
Bill Calvert, who just got married to Meg Galt,
left last week for the Air Corps, and so did Miles
Pugh, akpi, right after he hung his pin on LaVeme
Ludwig . . . Kitty Knowles’ Dick Charles, KDR,
is not in these parts as of l-ecently, but she is still
cari-ying the torch .... out on the edge of town,
the teke pigeon told us that Dick Clarkson is now
officially pinned to a Peggy .... she goes to Ce
darhurst.

More of the campus clubs should sponsor fea

. . . the dancer, Naomi Aleh-Leaf. . . . during in
termission, Bill Cissel suggested foreign movies
. . . . that would be a worthwhile pi’oject, and
some of these pictures ai - e masterpieces in the
field of movie-making .... we predict big crowds
for any group that will sponsor it.

didn’t do so badly either, what- with Peggy

did slip up when they elected four mox-e Collegian

Put us on the record as hereby extending our
heartiest welcome to the ensigns at Penn State
. . . it’s true the student body hasn’t made too big
a fuss, but that, we prefer to believe, is because
‘of doubt as to whether too much social activity
would fit into their rather rigorous schedules
.... we’re sui-e that the ensigns will be welcome
to take part in any activity or gathering on camp
us, if they will only let it be known to the proper
parties. , ‘—Campuseer.
other parts of campus and haul it away in a truck
that uses gasoline and rubber.
Work on flooding the tennis courts for ice skat
ing was supposedly delayed because of the short
age of labor. Yet four men have time to shovel
snow into a truck from ar patch of earth between
a walk and the street. Although it is necessary to
keep labor busy at all times in order to get a
large amount of productive manhours, Collegian
thinks those hours could be used in something
really productive. , . • . • . -

Up per class Coeds Fail As Gestapo
For Judicial; Frosh Don’t Mind
W'nat was written the other day
concerning the whereabouts of
WSGA Judicial might well have
been addressed to every upper
class woman in the College. It
was . . . indirectly: the Judicial
Committee is elected by the coeds
themselves.
What was written about Irosh
women taking liberties was true.
They’ve been getting away with a
lot that was never reported to the
Judicial body which is to judge
only.
In reality, the entire
group is the police force. And
without a doubt they have been
lax.
They have seen Irosh women
dating during the week. They have
“coked" with them in the Corner
Room, met their, dates, and walked
away without so much as a warn
ing.
They have known instances
where persons took tWb o’clocks
and have many times compliment
ed them on their cleverness. At
the same time they complain ol
Judicial’s leniency.
Although it is a specific duty of
checker-inners, hall presidents,
and dormitory hostesses to report
cases of coeds who don’t live ac
cording to the rules, it is also an

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1943.
unwritten responsibility of all
those who have finished their
freshman year.
When Judicial receives these
records, they can and will act, as
any erring frosh will testify.
This “lark" or “joke,” as fresh
men are prone to call the recent
act of the body of justice, has been
misinterpreted.
If a lark means calling up more
than 75 frosh, talking to each of
them separately, and then trying
to mete out fitting punishments
for each, then that’s what it is~
But it wilt be a long time before
ordinary coeds will have time to
get pleasure out. of a program like
that.
Unthinking coeds are proposing
that more lenient permissions
would ojffer the opportunity to en
tertain and make happy the men
who may soon be in the armed
services. A little less butter and
coffee-wasting and a little more
effort in defense courses would do
just as much for the nation’s fight
ing men.
Enrolled in a college where wo
men. almost completely govern
themselves, frosh should begin' to
see that their own representatives
make and enforce the laws. They,
should also realize the necessity
for rules of this kind.
