President's Assistant
Writing of the Penn State
Christian Association, President
Hetzel stated, "For more than
seventy years the Christian As
sociation has been an important
factor in the lives of Penn State
students. It has demonstrated its
value through a strong program
of wotthwhile activities."
Because this feeling expressed
by President Hetzel is shared by
so many others, I feel certain that
in its forthcoming financial cam
paign the Association will re
ceive the generous contributions
it must have to carry on its serv
ices and continue its influence.

TED BUNNELL
Dean of Men . . .
The oldest student service or
ganization on the campus is the
Penn State Christian Association.
Since its inception, student-in
spired, in 1872 it has been offer
ing student services of various
kinds without interruption• Now
in this post-war period its quan
tity and quality of services are at
their peak.
Since its beginning in- 1872 the
Christian Association work has
been supported largely by faculty
and student voluntary contribu
tion of funds. In this respect it is
essentially democratic, and it
should be kept so. Contributions
to the 1947-1948 fund-raising
campaign should continue the
long tradition of generous giving
to this worthy cause, so much a
part of the true Penn State.

Finance Head, Orvis Keller,
Announces Goal of $6300
A "Kick-Off" rally for campaign, division, and section leaders,
and solicitors in the Presbyterian Church basement at 3 p.m. Sunday
will formally initiate this year's Penn State Christian Association
finance drive. •
J. Orvis Keller, P.S.C.A. finance chairman, recently announced
a goal of $6300 for the students and faculty. Of this amount, the
students are asked to contribute $4200 and the faculty $2lOO.
Robert Drick, Phyllis James, and Theodore Bunnell have been
;elected as campaign leaders of men, women, and faculty respec
tively.
They and James Smith, P.S.CA.
general secretary, will present
the drive procedure at the rally
Sunday afternoon. At that time
solicitors will receive their
packets.
Honey Boys Sing
Entertainment for the rally will
be provided by the "Honey Boys,"
vocal quartet, and by Barbara
Cooper who will present a dra
matic reading. Group singing will
be led by Hummel Fishburn and
Frank Gullo of the music depart
ment.
The drive is scheduled to last
ten days, beginning November 10
and ending Nov. 20. Each person
who contributes $2.50 or more re
ceives a membership card which
entitles the holder to national
affiliation with the Y.M.C.A. and
Y.W.C.A. A lesser amount en
titles the person to general mem
bership in the local organization.
In explaining the drive, Mr.
Smith stated that students may
pledge an amount to be added
to their student activities fees to
be paid in February. For veterans
under the GI Bill this means that
it would be deducted from their
book reimbursement.
Goal Breakdown
A breakdown of the student
goal shows that fraternities are
being asked to contribute $l5OO.
Pollock Circle and Nittany Dorm
itories have a goal of $6OO each,
and other independents are being
asked to raise $5OO. Goal of the
women students is $lOOO.
Mr. Smith explained that the
$4200 to be raised by the students
does not provide one-third of the
Association's operating expenses
for the year. Last year this
amount was $11,507, and estimat
ed operating expense for this year
is $15,335.
Full Membership Sought
Part of the increase is due to
the addition of another secretary
to the professional staff. However,
he added, the student contribu
tions are not used in the payment
of salaries. These are paid by
alumni, friends and the College.
The breakdown of sections is
such that every student should
be contacted by a solicitor, and
full membership is being sought
to support an expanding program.
