Editorial ‘Mile Of Dimes’ During the depression of the 30’s a common expression was, “Buddy, can you spare a dime?” For the next three weeks on campus, the cry will repeat, “Students, can you spare a dime?” Dimes, miles of them, are urgently needed by the National Infan tile Paralysis Campaign if they are to continue .to keep up their pro gram of research in the prevention of the malady and of healing the torqued bodies of its youthful victims. The issue is before the students and faculty. WILL PENN STATE DO ITS SHARE IN MAINTAINING THIS HUMANITARIAN EF FORT? ' Collegian is sponsoring this drive, but it will be YOU through YOUR contributions that will put it over. The goal, $lOOO, s eems to many absurdly low. To meet this goal, the 5000 students will have to contribute only 20 cents apiece. No one can say that such an expendi ture will put them on the financial r ocks. But are we to be content with meeting a low goal? If everyone were to contribute a dime a week during the three week campaign, we would “go over the top” by $5OO. Again, this merely amounts to miss ing a few “cokes” for the duration of the drive. We students can do more than sacrifice just “cokes”; we can give and give again until the $lOOO goal is doubled or even tripled. Friars' Grey Hats Appear After Three-Year Absence Tapping of 15 pledges on the steps of Old Main, Wednesday, start ed the revival'of a reorganized Friars, sophomore men’s athletic hon orary, a grey hat society organized h.ere in 1912, which has been inac tive since the spring of 1,943. ■ To be eligible to wear the blue Friars hood insignia, candidates must win a varsity letter or the equivalent of Freshman numerals. “The majority of the. new rush ees are ex-Gl’s, so initiations will •inot-'bel asyrqugh. as,,;UsuaL” ;sjtate<l- Drue .

NROTC Men Must Sign In the interests of economy and efficiency the Navy is requiring every NROTC student to sign a statement of his intent to accept a reserve commission, if offered, at the end of his college training. All "men not wishing to bind themselves to this course will leave the unit on March 2. Those who sign are promising to continue on active duty in the NROTC till at least July 1, 1940. The signers are not eligible for ’.discharge,’ regardless of the points they accumulate, till the latter, date.. In signing, they also agree to accept a reserve commission if it is offered. However, on the first of July, if they have sufficient points (either as an officer or an enlisted man) for discharge, they will be commissioned but not or dered to active duty. Men who wish to join the re gular Navy may request active duty, at this time. After six months service they will be eli gible for transfer to the regulars. Trainees who do not sigh will be ordered to receiving ship or boot camp, as their individual case warrants. Sailors set for dis charges will be sent straight to separation centers.
