PAGE TWO $6OOO To Spend Last night at. Ali-College Cabinet four pro posals for disposing of the $6OOO now in Cab inet's treasury were discussed. Definite action on these suggestions will not be taken until next Thursday, at tho final meeting of Cabinet, so in. the meantime students will have. the opportunity to talk over these suggestions with their class officers. The four suggestions are. as follows: AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS: With a grant of approx imately 0000, this department would be able to buy a projector and equip 10 Sparks for showing movies. With more modern equipment, the.Aud io-Visual Aids department Would be able to show the same type of movies that are shown at the, local theatres. TECHNICAL BOOKS FOR THE LIBRARY: In the past, several classes have given books to the library as their class gift. Political science books have been suggested as a possible grant from the Alt -College funds lax - LODGE: With $B,OOO, three wings could be lidded to the Ski Lodge; one wing each to sleep '3O men and 30 women, and one wing to house the caretakers, a kitchen, and cafeteria: Since All- College Cabinet does not have the money to com plete the entire project, members of'the Ski Club feel that, if Cabinet would make the first contri bution, th balance could be raised from other groups. OLD( MAIN MURAL: A gdal of $llOOO has been set: for the mural, with $7350 already collected. If the $llOOO i s raised thi's semester, the money will (be offered to the executive committee of the Board Of Trustees June 28. The Trustees, in turn, will contact Henry Varnum Poor to complete the mural. .rn considering the four proposals, students 'should keep in mind the fact that the $6OOO in , .Cabinet's treasury was paid in fees by the student body. Therefore, each student has the right eith er to offer his opinion to his class president, or to •go •to Cabinet meeting next Thursday night and ,:speak for himself. ifs Not Too Late! The College Emergency Famine Drive officially ended yesterday. According to recent tabulations, the town drive, which ended last week, netted $4;787. This is two-thirds of the goal set at $7,500. Fifteen campus organizations have pledged their support to the drive by "adopting" children. The European Relief Committee has given $125 to the: campaign, and over $lOO has been solicited through the use of collection boxes. Results from dormitory solicitations have not yet been tabu lated. Through the foster parent plan, organizations are helping the starving children of Europe to live through a food shortage too great to imagine. By 'donating even the smallest amount of money, stu- Idents of the College are helping to save the lives of thousands. ' " • Although the lam:lne drive is officially ended, it :is not too late for those who have not contributed to offer their support. The sacrifice of a few cokes or a movie or two is not much to ask. Collegian urges the all-out support of every stu dent and every organization in this intensive cam paign to drive s tarvation from the doors of Europe and Asia. Sixty-six per cent of the goal has been realized. With a little effort it can be raised to one hundred per cent plus. —A:F.R. THE COLLEGIAN "Tor A Better Penn State" Established 1940.

Because of the small lounge in Watts Hall, my girl and I went over to .the lounge at Ir vin Hall. She wanted to read me the speech she had prepared for speech class. In the lounge with us were two couples playing bridge. We were sitting on the sofa, and I was liEtening to her read her speech, when the hostess of Irvin Hall walked up to us and asked what dorm my girl lived in. She replied, "Watts." Where upon the hostess made this rude and entirely uncalled for remark, "We don't allow girls from other dorms, to came in here to do their petting and love making, because we can't give them black marks." You can imagine how embarras.s- . ed we were. I guess this hostess would feel she accomplished something if we were to go out elide and find ourselves some dark corner to read in. Personally I don't like furtive and sneaky affairs, and I don't intend to start having any now. I feel certain that my sentiments are shared by every decent thinking individual on the cam pus. When we cannot do things at school that we would . do in our own homes, things have certainly re:ched a stagnant point.-emitter. Dfrty Politics? • ' Dear Editor, As. a part of the 'group known as the "LPOC" (Little People on Campus), we got to wondening all about the WIRA election. ' In most campus organizations the scholastic standard is one of the first things - considered when putting up nominations for of ficer. When. a person is nomi nated whose .average does not meet the standard, she or he is to decline the nomination. Even a 1.48 average isn't meeting . the standard of a 1:5. Some groups either forget their standards or neglect to check the averages of nominees, and as an example, we refer you to 'the recent WE.A election. The preFident is supposed to have a 1.5 average. Knowing that. this was a little off in• the case of, .the newly-elected.,-presi dent. in checking, we found •it is a .to date the end of last semester.

Reiling Editor's Note:' See Bullosopher. Dear Editor In terms of your editorial of June 4th, entitled "Daily Colle gian," in which you stress the motto of the paper, "For A Better Penn State," I am hoping the Perin State. Christian Association may come in for a greater share in your news coverage. If it is possible I think there is some thing to be Said for a PSCA ne•,et; representative on your staff. To justify this claim, if such is necessary, let me say that PSCA is the only organization on the campus which is open to any and every student enrolled here. The possible exception might be Com mon Sense Club, but it seems to be a "special interest" group. There is no limitation on PSCA membership because of particu lar status. •Membership is open to any Man, woman, Prat or sorority member, independent man or wo man, or any person with a spe cial interest, and no one is barred because of race or creed.. PSCA is open to veterans, ROTC, NIROTC, and non-veterans. It includes all re'igious• denominations -and- all faiths.. , • • As far as I can deterrnine, all ntlier campus. student' .organiza (Continued on page seven) Bullosopher BY FERDINAND .T. Solvency Dingleberry, who feels that. the edi tor-elect may not be as tolerant of feline mascots as Editor Bell has been during the past semester, came in this morning with the idea of clearing several details, needing attention, before the se mester ends next week. From the Dean of Women's office came word that 'the sophomore Owens laid much stress upon , the scholastic records of their new members, tak ing these into account along with activities arid personal traits." Backing this statement were fig ures that showed 22 of the 31 members possessing All-College averages 0f.2 or better. All for $65 Arnold Reiling asks why the forthcoming Thes pian .show is charging inflationary 75 cents and $1 admissions and how can an ex-GI live and eat three meals a day and still occasionally attend one of these College affairs on $65 a month.. Perhaps Mike Kerns, production Manager of Thespians, can answer the first question. The sec ond question. J. Solvency, as an ex-GI, feels quali fied in answering. My dear Mr. Reiling, you can't live on the $65 a month given you by the govern ment and still take in these shows. As a matter of fact it's pretty tough just living on that $65 a month. But you are not alone, Reiling. Don't for get that there are 2000 ex-Gl's here. So you can do something about it, Reiling. If you're convinced that it is an OPA violation there are proper forms available at SU desk. If it's not an OPA violation and you don't think it's worth it, don't go; but if 'you're like Dingy, who thinks that the show will be worth 75 cents if it's up to pre-war standards, then you can always go out and find a job around town and make a few Nicks. Just a question of values, Mr. R., just a question of values. So Thespians Think Actually you will find', if you look through old Thespian programs, that the price had been up to 75 cents years before the war got underway; Thes pians have long considered their shows worth that much and have charged accordingly. To those students who have insisted that Col legian promote serious projects we again remind you that there were two articles in the last Col legian •bringing you up to date on the OPA situa tion. We have done all we•can for the moment• and if there are violations of the OPA then fill out the proper forms at SU desk, We'll carry on the fight tf there are sufficient complaints made to the proper authorities.
