Neel fxcacit.ate Counselor Friday Morning, February 19, 1943 Conflict In Drives Just a week and a half to go and the All-College Cabinet committee, appointed early this month, v/ill launch its program to raise $5,000 for the American Red Cross as Penn State’s portion of ■the nation-wide contributions. indications at present point to a successful drive but of course no accurate prediction can be made until the donations begin rolling in. And already the committee has struck a snag. Spring vacation will practically cut the time al lotted for the drive in half and may also split up the contributions. The holiday begins March 3 and this will render the early days of March prac tically useless for much campaigning. The ma chinery won’t really get working until the middle of the month. Another obstacle is that many students will be contacted during, vacation by home town solici- Theret'ore, it does not seem selfish of the Cam jats Committee to ask that students save their contributions for the College drive rather than donate to hometown funds. Penn State has been assigned a quota. Penn State' will be credited in proportion to how it meets this quota._ Therefore, anyone contributing to another branch of the vast drive will be helping another campaign rather than that of the community to vrhich he actually belongs. And it would seem that while in College, students are a part of their College community group rather than that of iheir home. Everyone should contribute. But the campus committee asks that Penn Stagers help the Penn Jit,ale fund rather than another. The money all goes to the same ultimate purpose regardless. But why not count the credit wheree it’s due. Coeds Help Air Raid Drill Coeds helped to make the daylight air raid a success. In the words of Walter W. Trainer, as sistant professor of landscape construction and chief air raid warden for the area, “Success of the air raid drill was completely due to the effi ciency of local and student assistants.” Further commendation comes from George W. Kbert, superintendent of Grounds and Buildings and Defense Council' head who said student co operation was good, and that the test raid was highly successful. Collegian hopes this good work can continue, in, order that everything will be in perfect order ,' hould the real thing ever come. Thanks to those who made the event click so well. Pleasant Thoughts Penn State students will have an opportunity ic> hear their “beloved” Blue 'Band for the first lime since last Fall when the musicians were play ing in cold weather at football games. Their appearance Saturday night will add color io the game, and possible aid in making Penn State’s second. Victory Baffle as much a success as the last one. It is also pleasant to note that College hat so cieties can be more than organizations; that they ■ :m pitch in and help conduct something which will aid the war effort: that they have an excuse Acts like these help stem critici-in . dost lir.t societies ■ini.' being Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 Staff This Issue -Lee Learner Ben French Artie Stobev .__Louis H.

CLEVER Cabinet Faux Pas We sal in on All-College Cabinet meeting Tues day and watched the wheels ot local government come’to a stand-still. During a discussion concern ing whether Soph Hop hours are to be from 9 to 1, or from 10 to 2, one political wit suggested that the former hours would be the fairest. He cited the plight of the poor coeds who would have to miss part of the dance if Rec Hall merry-making continued until 2 a. m. “After all,” he stated, “We gotta think ot the coeds—why should the imports get all of the breaks?” To which we firmly agree. BUT we thought there weren’t going to be any imports this semester. The Air Corps Question Four hundred Army Air Corps Enlisted Reserv ists, who have been looking with amusement at those in other branches of the reserve program, this week are being shaken from their complacen cy by the knowledge that they will be the first inducted. April Fools’ Day has been the deadline set by the Air Corps bigwigs for the induction of all re servists in the branch. Some of the fellows—about a dozen—have received their notices already. ,Nobody is grumbling about going, of course; but quite a few wonder why the decision wasn’t made about five weeks ago. It would have' saved a lot of needless work on the part of the soon-to-be cadets. College authorities, we hear from a reliable source, are trying to get a “stay of execution” for the future cadets until later in the, semester, by which time the College will be able to give full, or almost full, erdit for the semester’s work, IFC-Panhel Disagree There seems to be two very distinct and quite opposite reasons offered for the cancellation of the IFC part of the proposed IFC-Panhellenic Ball. Inter Fraternity Council members contend that they dropped plans because they felt it was in keeping with the olloge’s desire to curtail such affairs, and secondly because Panhellenic Coun cil had already drawn up plans for the ball leav ing little, if any, of the say so to Keller and the boys. .. Oh the other hand, it Is whispered that the coed group thought that they would lose prestige by being incorporated with the fellows. Since the Panhel dance will be the usual local band affair, we think, regardless of the reasons set for the decrease in size, curtailment is prac tical. Buy War Bonds And Stamps —R. D.
