Clothing, food, and shelter are the primary neces sities of man. In rebuilding devestated Europe, workers have found all of these lacking. • Winter is approaching, .and well-fed and well clothed Americans are receiving word from relief workers in war-torn areas that thousands of once disposessed prisoners -of-war, men, women, Arid children are wending their way across the Con tinent barefoot and in tatters. Herbert Lehman, head of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration serving overseas, in a recent issue of Time Magazine, states that European nations are looking to the United States for approximately 70 per cent of the aid necessary to raise life to a bare subsis tance level. At the College, in an effort to help, Women's Student Government Association has enlisted the aid ;of All-College Cabinet, Interfraternity Council, Independent Students' Council, and the Penn State Christian Association in the Postwar Cloth ing Drive. Collection boxes have been placed in most student living quarters and in student reli gious foundations. Many students and townspeople labor under the misapprehension that only heavy clothing is wan ted because of the approaching winter. But, the victims of war-torn nations do not care whether clothes are of the warmest types. All they want are garments to wear, no matter what the season for which they were originally designed. All students or townspeople who have any out grown, halfworn, or outdated garments are re quested to please bring them to -one of :the col lection stations or directly to Grange dormitory. From there they will be sent to those who need them most in Europe. A short YeII—STATE Tomorrow the Nittany Lioris will open the 1945 football season, The team has been drilling since July and should put on one of the best shows in several years. The cheerleaders have been practicing nightly and are all set for the fray. But how about you? If the handful of spectators and whisper of yells demonstrated at last week's practice game is any indication •of the future, the afternoon will surely be a flop. Haven't you any school spirit? Alums will be coming back—not only grad uates but ex-V-l2ers and for Mer AST's and air corps boys and marines. They will expect the old packed stadiums . and deafening cheering. The opposition will bring a stream of loyal fol lowers whom former classes would drown out: Are you going to disappoint the alums as well as your teammates? You've moaned for the good old days; you've clamored for a winning team. But it is you and your spirit who make the good old days and who help the team on to victory. So how about pack ing the stands and learning those songs and cheers and proving that the Penn State school spirit hasn't died in the war! Tomorrow is your first big opportunity to make the postwar Penn State throb with life. "Who done it?" is no longer the question according to some of the Dick Snoopers on campus who have been investigating the Lion Shrine case. All that is needed now is a little cooperation from some witnesses, or maybe some of the old third degree stuff would bring about a full confsssion. At any rate, no more chances will be taken where the Lion is concerned. Tomorrow night after the' (Muhlenberg game two sailors have volunteered to stand watch till dawn. Talk. about school spirit, those two boys deserve an oak cluster. A Reformer— The graduating seniors met to gether last week to receive in structions on how one gets out of this school—with a degree. At this same meeting the senior class party was discussed. There was some dissention over what type of beverage should be served, that is one coed voted against what the majority wanted. Law of Gravitation— _Louis Bell It was 8 o'clock in the morning. Some of the students were suc cessfully 'battling off the Sand Man in Physics 281 lecture—oth ers had succumbed. One boy was getting drowsy when he heard the coed in the next seat drop some thing. Gallantly he leaned over to retrieve the lost article. Sleepy still, he held it up to the light. But the coed was courteous and she thanked him warmly as he handed her her shoe. Navy Wheels— The Navy has become mechan ized, or nothing can stop the V-12s Penn State seems to have be come a summer resort for alums and non-graduates judging by all the visitors back to "ye ole campoos."

When one poor sailor hurt his foot and couldn't walk to class, he wasn't given an excuse for a couple of weeks. No sir, he was equipped with a bicycle and now he can be seen daily about the campus ped aling like mad with his crutches balanced on the handle bars. Elections— Tomorrow night the Collegian staff will celebrate (?) after the •football game down at the State College Hotel. It's a shame we can't make the affair an open house, (but this •party is only for newspaper minded souls. Elec tions make a wonderful alibi fat• banquets. Hot Dogs— Only two more weekends left this semester to have fun times and then that haunting finals-and term-paper-due look will again become the College vogue. About that time the graduating seniors will be hot-dogging it down at the Corner Unusual. But that's life, underclassmen, after seven semes ters you too can gloat.

Overseas Teachers The ranks of Penn Staters serv ing with overseas educational units are growing daily. Lt.

Cap tain "Jim" Holly, '39, formerly of the library staff, is now in Paris supplying books to Army schools. Other former College professors at Shrivenham Army University in England are Willis K.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1945 Campuseer If everyone is as confused about changing back to standard Ulna Sunday night as the people on: the Collegian staff, the campus will certainly be an awfully mixed-up place on Monday. Conversation in the office Wednesday night ran something like this. "At 2 a. m. Monday, you turn the clock back to 1 a. in." 'We, you don't. You turn it ahead to 3 a. m." "Don't be crazy. You turn it back." "Now look, that doesn't make sense. If you turn• , ed it back, then got up at 7 o'clock when it's still dark, you'd really be getting up at 6 o'clock, when it's practically the middle of the night." "That's right. Only now when you get up at 7 o'clock, it's really 8 o'clock because we're on war time. And after the clock is changed and you get up at 7 o'clock it will really be 7 o'clock so you won't really be mixed up." "Yes, but actually when you get up at 7 o'clock it will still be 8 o'clock, because now we're on war time and daylight savings time. That means that the clock is two hours off, and we who have been . getting up at 7 have really been rising at 5,.°.v. in the morning; now we'll be getting out of bed at 6, but maybe they'll change the time again to get us on schedule." "THAT'S NOT SO!" "Of course it is.. Don't you read the papers?" "Let's change the subject. This is getting too confusing for me. Just tell me first—will I be able to sleep in Monday morning and tell my profs that I didn't get up in time for .class be _ cause I forgot to change the clock?" "Sure!" "You will not. You'll be getting.up'an hour early if you don't change your clock, not an hour late. Therefore you'll get to class too soon." "What difference does it make whether you lose an hour or gain an hour? Don't you know that if you leave the earth today and travel faster •than light, you'll return yesterday? Or, as the poets. say: 'There once - was a young lady named Blight Who could travel Much faster than light. She went off one day In a relative way And returned on the previous night.'" (This contribution came from the Poet Laureate of Collegian.) By this time everyone was completely confused , and worn out. Someone noticed a fraternity man' who was silently sitting back taking the situation , in. They asked him What he was going to do about getting up' with the change , in time.: "Duh," he answered. "It doesn't bother pledge wakes me every morning." Front and Center Mickey Blatz '44 recently received his viittgi; , wings at. Corpus Christi, Tex. . . .
