Penny
Meal
VOL, 42--No.
Local European Relief Committee
Sponsors Clothing, Food Drive
Joining a nation-wide drive, a campus European relief committee
will conduct a campaign to start 'Monday and continue through the
week. This was announced by the chairman, Jeanne Hirt.
The project will take the form of a "Penny a Meal" and a "Can
a Man" program as well as a clothing collection and wheatless meals
in the dormitories.
Under the "Penny a Meal"
set-up, each coed will be asked to,
bring one penny to every meal
fol. a week: Jars will be provided
in the dining commons to receive
the contributions. At the end of
the week, the money will be col
lected and used to buy a heifer
wliich will be sent overseas.
.Supplementing the "Penny a
Meal" idea, each coed will be
asked to purchase a can of food
of any kind or size. The cans can
then be turned into Student Un
ion. There they will be packed
and will follow the heifer to V,u
rope.
The dormitory dietitians have
made arrangements to cooperate
with the campaign. On Tuesday
and Thursday nights, no wheat or
wheat products will be served. It
is planned to continue the wheat
less meals after the drive is over.
Under the direction of the Penn
State , Christian • Association, a
new clothing drive' will be start
ed. Boxes will be placed, at van
•tage points' around campus where
Unwanted I:4f 6:eazi, mended and
,serviceable clothing may be dis
carded.
The European Relief commit
tee is composed of women from
various campus organizations,
WISGA, TWA, PSCA, Red Cross,
and Philotes, as well as all soror
ity presidents.
-In stating that it would be a
coed project, Miss Hirt said, "We
aren't ignoring the fellows alto
gether. They can help if they want
to and we'd be glad to have them.
It is just that we feel they have
gone their share and now it is
time, for us coeds to do the rest.",
