Elliot Shapiro Friday, April 13, 1945 Help the World's Naked Starvation, disease, and nakedness . today stalk the peoples of war-ravaged Europe and Asia. In Europe alone, more than 30,000,000 persons are ."statistically naked" and 1125,000,000 a're in desperate need of clothing, shoes, and bedding. It is for that reason that the United National Clothing Collection drive is now being launched ini this country. In Belgium one family of seven shares one shirt. Crude shoes for children in Holland• de form the feet permanently. In Poland, four fam ilies, living in a single, unheated, windowless room, pool clothing when one has to leave the building. And only 156 out of 1022 students in Ronan University in China have bedding. Fifty-one voluntary war relief agencies are cooperating with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration this month to help these poverty-stricken people. Here on the cam pus a drive is now under way to hello reach the 150,000,000 pound goal of good, usable clothing, shoes, and bedding. Won't you do yout part by contributing as much as you possibly can dur ing the next week? Promotion of Education The promotion of liberal education through musical concerts and lectures is continuing on the campus despite the war. Two groups which are largely responsible for its continuance are the Artists' Course and the Community Forum com mittees. The two organizations should be con grateulated for bringing numerous notable figures to the College during the past year. Since 1933 the Artists' Course has sponsored concerts by Marian Anderson, Jose Iturbi, Gladys Swarthout, Jascha Heifetz, Paul Robeson, John Charles Thomas, Sergi Rachmaninoff, Yehudi Menuhin, Jesus Maria Sanroma, and others. This year the State College •Community Forum has brought to Schwab Auditorium such well known speakers as Edward Tomlinson, radio commentator; Dr. Shridharani, Hindu philosopher; and Drew Pearson, newspaper columnist. Max Lerner and Stuart Chase are the next lecturers in the series. Keep off the Darn Grass Every year about this time of the year The. Collegian is forced to write an editorial plead ing with the student 'body to keep off the grass. Each spring the Grounds and Buildings de partment attempts to plant and care for the jreen lawns that surround the campus buildings. This is done to eliminate bare spots and insure grass throughout the summer. However, because some students-civilian and servicemen—insist in cutting across the gra'ss for a short cut, the College employees are handicapped and the camous becomes marred. The women students particually have been making paths across the grass this year. The most noticeable blots are the .four-lane path in front of Carnegie Hall and the Indian trail across Holmes Field. Cooperation is needed if the College is to maintain its present , status as one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Let's keep it that way!

To demonstrate her complaint, she herded her prod igies into her room, sending the ,prcblem child upstairs to run the Water. Downstairs the group waited patiently for the sound of water. It came with a rush— from the ceiling. Seems there was a loose board in the floor and. a glass of water, handy.. Gypsy..

The causes behind this slight departure from our usual condition of heart and soul were newspaper columnists.— two -of ' them. • ,~~~ , The first of these, Mr. Drew Pearson whose syndicated sensations appear in more papers than you could &hake a cat_o'nine-tails at, delivered a lecture in Schwab auditorium. He must have said something to warrant an•unfair screech to fill up this space, but they charged money to hear him, and .naturally we didn't. That is enough for Mr. Pearson. Then Mr. Lou Bell of the department of public information, who should have known better, told us that John. M. Cummings, who grinds his ax daily on the editorial page of the Philadelphia Inquirer, was in town and had composed some pieces about the College. • - Here was a juicy; tid-ibit.
