PAGE TWO Penny A Meal This week coeds who eat in campus dormitories are being reminded of the critical food and cloth ing shortage in Europe through a concentrated "Penny A Meal," "Can. A Man," campaign. "Penny A Meal" needs little explanation. Each coed has been asked to take a penny with her to each meal and deposit it in one of the jars that will be placed on each table. To each coed this will mean only 21 cents, but when multiplied by more than two thousand women.enrolled in the College, the amount should surpass 's4oo. Twenty-one pen nies would hardly be missed by a coed, but $4OO could buy a lot of food for starving Europe. .Men students, too, may help with the "Can A (Man," or woman, campaign. The committee in. charge has requested that students, and particu larly coeds, buy a can of food and take it to Stu dent Union. The committee, in turn, will send the food to Europe. Actually, this is the second move on campus to make coeds more "food conscious." The Home Ec Club several weeks ago attempted to show the co eds in Atherton how much food they were wasting each day. Now that the European Relief committee has adopted the project, coeds have the opportun ity to donate from - their own pockets to the needy in Europe. :in addition, coeds will have the opportunity to chow to those who have condemned them of being interested only in campus affairs, that they have an interest in the welfare of others, also. Yell, Ye II,Ye/I,Again! .If there's any one thing - that the student body Jacks, it's school spirit. This fact, which is evi dent in numerous situations is most obvious at sports events. Whether it's a football,l.baseball, basketball, or lacrosse game, there is always an . enthusiastic roar--when State ,is winning. But when we're losing, it's- another story. Attention wanders, spectators criticize, cheers are weak and altogether spirit is , at a minimum. This fair weather attitude not only shows a lack of school spirit, it also i s disheartening to our players.' For at the time when they need a good cheer the most, people - are to -busy griping. The Saturday lacrosse game was a perfect ex 'ample of poor spectator reaction. At the half, Johns Hopkins was winning so the Penn State rooting section did an admirab:e and helpful thing—three-quarters of it walked out. lf the student body would .Stay through more games and shout loudest when we're losing, our teams would score more victories. Co-Rec Day. ? • ! What has happened.to Co-Rec Day? Before the war, one of the features of spring -time Penn State was Co-Rec Day, spOnsorecl for all students by the Women's Recreation Association. But WRiA. has ;.failed to schedule one for this ,spririg. WRA, according to its Past_reputation, has been reluctant - to allow the men students to share their recreational facilities. Collegian can't help won dering if this could be the reason for WRA's a voiding Co-Rec Day this year. THE COLLEGIAN Established 1940.

Bitter Look At long last a semblance of peace has descended upon the inhabi tants Of the Vale of 'Nittany. Quiet and order reign among the natives as they go about their joyful tasks. The feud is settled, and strong men no longer fear to walk abroad at night. • Froth and Portfolio-are at peace! Of course, this statement will come as a shock to the staffs of both publications; but it is true, nevertheless, if you will credit my account of themomentous meeting. I -was sitting alone .in the dark ened Collegian office, mumbling over the pile of bleached •and whitened skulls I keep in my desk as mementos of fairer years, when there came a knMking.at the door. Grudgingly I Shut the drawer con taining my 'treasures and- opened to the visitor. There on the threshold was a Portfolio man clutching a mangl ed copy of his favorite magazine to his pinched and withered breast. He cackled as he talked. All he wanted was the use Of our phone 'for which service I changed him a minimum of ten cents a tall. As he was - finishing the fifteenth unsUccessfUl call for a date, in staggered a man from Froth. In addition to •clothes, he *ore a drawn and haggard look. This went well with his mustache admit; but Where he 'claimed! it came from ceaseless ...Work on Froth with a capital `cF,'!, I knew damn well it came from work on just plain troth, 'without the capi tal. His first request was Iwn: 'cig arette; his second for the expo". sion of the Portfolio horror who hovered overhead Making obscene Penn,- :sfatements In •spite of frequent remarks to the contrary, 'we're air here for the primary purpose of obtaining an education. One, campus genius, known only by the initials "A. H," seems to have ,outdone everyone when it comes to book learnin.' He recently left this bkilliant message, reprinted exactly as found, on a blackboard in Sparks: "All men are born with the equal and inalienable right to disillusiOnmentr So,•until they are willing to waive 'that right, let Technology Progress and a College Education for Everylbody." We've , beets won dering about this prcifound state ment and have come to the con elusion that someone ought to trrab this character and throw him into •campus politics. With an idea like .that he'd really go places. They'll Love It Down at a local emporium as a sign saying "Your !friends will love, a souvenir from Penn State." Underneath the sign is displayed a selection of souvenirs Which the management evidently thinks is representative of the College. - In• eluded in the display are: six miniature whiskey bottles in a case,, ashtrays !holding tat - nail beer mugs filled with imitation beer, a box containing a bottle of gin behind a • glass and bearing the description.

The case in point is concerned with the entire absence of any ef fort to try and save food for the starving millions of Europe and Asia. The oft prefered argument that individuals or a small com munity can do nothing is so chil dish and primitive that it does not even merit. an answer. Why then is nothing done? In my opinion, which is that of an infinitely small minority, it is due to a false sense of values.
