RR Has Lounging Car; Pollock Circle Has Car in Lounge It may sound like a strange place for it, but there was an automobile in the lounge of Dorm four, Pollock Circle, Saturday af ternoon. True, it wasn’t a large automo bile, and taller pepple sometimes miss it if their shoes don’t happen to foe untied when it flits by. On the other hand, it wouldn’t fit in a Child’s" Christmas stocking, or for that matter, an elephant’s Christmas stocking. 'lt’s Carl Tendler’s automobile, and its a Crossley. It got where it was because Tendler was always saying. how funny it would be if he went for a ride in the lounge some day. Four nameless characters, who also live in Dorm four, thought that would be funny, too. But they thought it Would foe even funnier, if when once the Cross ley Was in the lounge,- Tendler couldn’t get it out again. So they lifted it—it only took four of them—into the lounge, and Tend ler was very surprised to see it there. In\ fact, he was shocked to see it there, but he went ' for a ride, and it certainly was funny. Then he finished,and no one would help him take tire Cross ley out again, and that was even funnier. Now there is no longer an au tomobile in the lounge of Dorinr four, Pollock Circle, but one of the four characters, who refused to be identified, stated that next Saturday the Crossley will be back again. “It’s picturesque,” he said. wjtatt WSGA Drive Continues The quota has not been reached and unit presidents have not. com pleted their soliciting. Therefore, the annual WSGA Christmas Drive has !b ee n extended to Thursday, according to Suzanne Rorn'ig, chairman of the drive. Money from the drive, an an ticipated $450, will be divided among three welfare groups: the American Women’s Hospitals, the Mifflin County Children’s Aid So ciety, and Mrs. Hetzel’s Emer gency Fund. This latter agency had its incipience in 1939 and was accepted as an official loan fund of the College in July 1943. ‘Miss Edith Anderson, assistant to the Dean of Women, stated, “SinCe we are short our quota, I feel that a number of people has not been reached. I hope everyone, including faculty and men stu dents, will notice the chimney boxes located at the Comer Room and in Old Main.” Dormitories which have topped last year’s contributions are: Atherton, NW, Chi Omega, Davey House, Delta Gamma, Fairmount Hall, Frazier Hall, Matils, Phi Mu, Sigma Delta Tau, Tomlinson Dormitory, Van Tries, and Watts. Students may obtain a loan from Mrs. Hetzel’s Fund by see ing either the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women, proving that his needs constitute an emergency for him, estimating the amount he needs, and outlining a plan for repayment. All statements by a student sre held in strict confi dence. Loans range from three to twenty dollars without interest payments and are granted to un dergraduate or graduate students. Although the loan may be made for four weeks, the average dura tion is two weeks. Loans of over $2O may,be ipad.e,.t'rom-ol|her-Gol -lege funds. > The penalty for overdue repay ments is $.25 the first day and $.05 each additional day. Lucas Prophesies Snowy Snow Ball Oa the eve ot Christmas vaca tion comes a 'prediction unbeliev able and daring. The thing started when Albert Lucas, Pehn State Club President, went into a conference with the Department of ‘Naval Science, and Tactics. Prom the “small fry,” Lucas next consulted Admiral Phil “Nails” Garm. who con firmed previous findings. Then Lucas unflinchingly made his pre diction. “There (will be,” he said, “snow for the Snow Ball.” The, Snow IBall is the annual Peraf State Club New Year’s Dance. After .predicting snow for the Snow Ball, Lucas, a true leading spirit, wandered into the coal fields of Wilkes-Barre. He was assured by the two top miners in the area, namely Kishbaugh and Kunigonis, that Recreation Hall will be “plenty” warm from 9 to 12 on Saturday night, January 4. Students, who pay $1.'50 (include ing tax), will at that time dance to. the music of Jimmie Hai dacher and The Rytbmaires. The final astounding item about the Snow Ball is that there will be absolutely no Snow, Sleet, Crystal, or any other kirid of queen chosen.
