ordered into forced labor in 1942,
and in a student purge in ’43, 1700

Promises Varied Program
The first meeting of the Math
Club will be held in 110 Home

club has been organized. for all
students interested in mathematics,
but the study of higher mathe
matics .is not a prerequisite for

The program .planned for tile

two mbvies, “The Origin Of Mathe
mat’es,” and an introductory Study
“Einstein’s Theory' of Relativ
ity.”
The usual program of the Math
Club, organized last year, consists
of a talk by, a student on some
phase of mathematics not covered
in ordinary classroom study. This
semester, it is planned to ,g've trim
prizes of ten arid five dollars to
the two best student speaker's. The
prizes arte to be donated by the
Pennsylvania State College chap
ter of Pi Mu Epsilon, national
mathematics honor society.
Other activit’es planned for tlie
year are the publication of a Math
Club Journal, and a pai'ty at the
close of the semester.
College Authorities Plan
For SU Fund Solicitation
"What recreational facilities
\vould you, the students of Penn
State like to have in the proposed
Student' Union Building?”
Freliminai’y plans are now un
derway by the College authori
ties for the soliciting of funds for
the construction of a Student
Union Building.
For some time now, past and
present students at Penn State
have seen the need for a building
that would capably house many of
the conventional modes of diver
sion that . are lacking on this
campus.
Collegian, in the past, has re
ceived many suggestions, ,but.
many more are needed. Profes- 1
sors and college officers can’t de
cide what the students would
like, it’s up to those attending
school to choose the most popu
lar entertainment facilities. Be
fore plan's,for the'building can be
drawn up, it must be decided
what is to go on the inside.
■During the summer semester,
Collegian popped the question to
. a small group of students. The
replies were varied, but practi
cally everyone mentioned a swim
ming-pool and all are in favor of
having mixed swimming parties.
A ballroom that could be used
for all kinds of dances was also
a favorite suggestion, and all
agreed that it should have a.touch
of “collegiate atmosphere” in the
decorations.
“How about a Corner Room
style snack bar?” suggested one
*\.he loves me!”
BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-
Red Cross Needs
Peacetime Corps
At present the Campus Red
Cross unit needs students who
would like to speak over the radio,
write publicity, or possibly work
in a motor corps. There is a quan
tity o. other jobs to be filled, as
well, interestingly different from
the war-time duties oC bandage
roll'ng and learning to put out in
cendiary bombs.
The campus .unit is holding a
mass meeting in Schwab Auditor
ium at 7:30 p.m. Monday to ex
plain their need for student enlist
ment in the Red Cross'. Frank
Gullo, assistant professor of music,
will be there to lead community
singing, and, as an added attrac
tion, all speeches are limited to
three minutes!
' After the meeting, students will
be able to sigh up for the commit
tee in which they’re' interested.
Helpers are needed in the Acci
dent Prevention, Public Informa
tion, Fund Raising,' and Disaster
Relief committees, and volunteers
will be accepted for the Motor,
Canteen, Staff Assistance, and Vol
unteer Nurse’s Aid Corps.
The Red Cross must operate in
wartime as well as peace!
student, “a place where we could
spend our sandwich hours.”
Colleges throughout the coun
try have Student Union Buildings
on their campuses, but inside,
each houses the facilities enjoyed
by the most number of students.
Just what our own Student Union
Building should contain can only
be decided by the student body.
Students can take an active part
in the planning of the building by
writing their suggestions to Col
legian. • Suggestions will b e listed
approximately once a week. In
. this way, the college authorities in
.charge of the building’s*construc
tion can get.a fair idea of what is
quanted by you, the. students. .
'Some have already said, “How
about a music room, rifle range;
handball court, pool and billiard
tables?” .
Aiid the ex-Gl’s who have vis
ited many college campuses
throughout the cotlntry should
have a few good ideas on the sub
ject. Let’s hear from you.
Trustees Send Hellic
George F. Hellic 'will represent
the Board of Trustees of the Col
lege at Columbus, Ohio, Novem
ber 15-17, at the twenty-third
annual meeting of the Association
of Governing Boards and Allied
Institutions. Mr. Hellic will par
ticipate in a panel on “Public Her
lations in tlie University,” includ
ed in a three-day program of
