Groups To Aid
Famine Relief
Representatives of various stud
ent organizations will meet under
the SPonsorship of Comarion .
Sense Chit) in the Northeast
lounge of Atherton at 8 p. m. to
night to select a steering com
mittee.
The six members of this steer
ing committee will join the. State
College Famine Emergency Com
mittee in its campaign, and will
select a student to serve as co
chairman of the entire group. In
this way it is helped to better co
ordinate relief activity on' the
campus and. in . the town. .
A six-point program for both
groups was outlined at a meeting
last Monday, ,and students will
cooperate on it with the town or
ganization. The points are as fol
lows: (1) conservation of food
through wheatless Tuesdays and
Thursdays and use of famine
diets; (2) money to be collected
by a house-to-house canvas for
purchase of food to be sent
abroad; (3) cartons to be filled
and sent to specific families;‘, (4)
clothing. for relief; ('5) adoption
of a Euro;peari child by the' var
ious organizations; and (6) heif
ers.for relief to be purchased here
and sent to Europe.
Most important point in this
'program is 'the Colledtion of
money. The next ten weekS will
.be , Very crucial for .the starving
Europeans, and 'the Faminine
Committee is 'attempting to do
something constructive that will
help them through this period.
Money collected by students
Working under bloek-leaders, will
:be used to
,purchase and send
abroad . footh\ and other necessi
ties..
Through an , extensive publicity
dampaign the 'organiza'tion hopes
to impress on every, student and
townsman the urgent need 'fbr
quick and generous response to
this plan. Definite,plans have not
been made as yet; but there will
be concerted ection-by all groups
concerned as soon as is possible.

In .the opening section of "The

takes a trip to the stars by means
of solar photograph's taken
.through the, giant 100-inch -tele
scope of Mt.• Wilson Observatory
in southern California, and views
complex .gyrations of our own

this time-compressing photo
technique. The metamorphosis of
a caterpillar through the various
stages from worm to butterfly,
and pollination of flowers are
seen on the screen in full color.

Campus Cops Revive coeds
Floored by Suave Crooners
A reviving service at dances is one of the many jobs performed
by 16 students and 13 regular policemen on the Campus Patrol, ac
cording to Captain Phillip A. Mark.
The patrolmen carry smelling salts which they are frequently
called upon to administer to fainting ladies at All-College ;lances,
said Captain Mark. Other duties of the patrols include checking the
parking lots for student licenses, performing door service at campus
events, and even playing the role
of herdsmen. Last week the pa
trol on Ag Hill found himself with
the job of capturing Penn State
Joab Veema Happy, bovine prize,
and tying her to her stall at 1: 45
a.m. •
Fingerprinting Service
Captain Mark explained that
the patrol, which is a section of
Grounds .and Buildings, offers a
fingerprinting service to anyone
who wishes to file his prints with
the FBI. As he talked, the police
head was fingerprinting a stu
dent with printer's ink on a•slab
of plate glass.
He said that when a campus
cop "covers his beat," he may
cover anywhere from. 14 .to 86
acres of territory, distributing
room reservations to janitors who
leave the rooms unlocked, check
ing all closed buildings and °cm-.
pants of all. other buildings,
checking fire extinguishers, re
porting any fires, and looking for
unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
"The emergency ambulance pa
trol car, which can be seen at all
football gathes, is under the con
trol of the campus police. and •is
often used for emergency cases,"
the captain pointed out.
Recover• Lost Goods
"We are called•upon when any
thing is lost, strayed, or stolen,"
he continued. "We have recovered
quite a bit of stolen goods, but
the biggest trouble .is that there
is so little prosecution of students.
One job the patrol accomplished
recently was the collecting of

done by us too."
