PAGE TWO Food for Eurasia The State College Emergency Food , Commit tee organized Sunday night. It drew up plans to unite the town and the College in a drive for aid ing the millions of people in Europe and Asia who pre starving. It is hard 'for American people to realize the 'Pitiful conditions existing in lands so far away. They 'have had rationing, yes. 'but to such a little extent in comparison with the rationing in Europe and Asia, that it can scarcely be mentioned. They 'must visualize such ruthless famine through the eyes of their newspapers, radio reports, and those 'people who have come back from Europe with ttirst-hand reports. 'Dr.. Champlin, who has just returned from Eu rope, explained to the Food Committee just how 'acute the famine situation is on that continent. He pointed out that the average number of calories per person each day is 1500 and under, not the normal 2500 and over consumed in this country. There is no wealthy, class existing in England, and 50 to 75 per cent Of the food is in the hands of black markets. Dr. Champlin went on to explain that he expected the food situation to reach a peak of severity in the next ten weeks. With all these facts in mind, there is urgent need for such a committee which i•s now being or gbnized. The College ha•s already begun to help with the famine drive by observing breadless Tu esdays and Thursdays in the dormitories. Students will also be asked to help financially. How can anyone overlook the seriousnes s of this 'famine? If students put their• wholehearted sup port in aiding the starving people in Europe and Asia, they, along with the people of State College, will help some of the millions who would other wise die of starvation. Mal-Managed Courts With Penn State's notoriously inadequate re- creational facilities already over-crowded, the situation is being magnified by the monopoliza- lion and mad-management of the tennis courts Recently the courts have been in such condi ticn that any attempt to play on them has been a farce. Gaping cracks, faded boundary lines,.and uneven surfaces have reduced the playing surfac es to nothing more than mud holes. " Added to the deplorable condition of the courts 'has been an increasing number of physical educa tion classe s that have taken over the courts. It is not unusual to find all the playing area monopol ized by these physical education. classes. Still another factor that minimizes the all a round usefulness of the courts is the "court hog." This species of tenni s enthusiast insists on disre garding the posted rules governing the time,a court may be used by one set of players. 'Until these three above conditions are rectified, the Penn State Student body does not have much to look forward to in the way of recreational fa cilities.

Homer Is that little black and white striped pussy who is often seen crossing South Allen street after midnight when the streets are deseyted (Ed. note: Homer is a very wise skunk; he's smart in not crossing Co-op corner during the day. The borough, 'as yet, hasn't installed stop lights at this intersection. Homer realizes that should he be smacked by 'a car :at this corner quite a stink would be raised.) Taking Sides But getting back on the scent of Homer and Dingy who just flnished reading the. Tuesday mor ning .Collegian. Dingy would like to take issue with a fellow columnist In Punch Lines there is a comment to the effect that: "For 25 cents it would be possible to buy an issue of The New Yorker and Dime Comics and get more ;laughs in one page than Froth put out in 39..1 might even Mention that Dime Comics is written on a higher .intellectual plabe." Wo agree that Frothy didn't exactly have 'us rolling in the aisles but it isn't the fairest thing in the world to go comparing Froth with the New Yorker or even with Dime Comie Now if Mr. Sample had said "For 25 centi . it would be possible' to buy an issue of The NeW "• Portfolio and. the Penn State ' , Engineer and get' more laugh s in one page than Froth put out in 39," we might agree. Portfb:io, The Engineer and Froth are on comparable .lev.4.Ks. Frothy and the New Yorker are not, hoivever. Any such .compari son would be as.unfair asi saying that The Penn State . Players shouldn't be supported merely be- cause one can ocessionally•go•to the local:cinema and for hhe same price see something like the Sev- earth Veil or the Road to Utopia If one is to. compare Frothy to-the New Yorker. then it would be:just as fair to compare the Col legian with the New York Times. So far there has been little indication that Collegian is driving the Times off the newspaper stands. Dingy does have the . CoLegian attitude perhaps, from hanging around street corners and listening to student comment, but there are a few. thitigt that might 'be passed on to the Froth staff.
