PAGE SIX College Activities Halt PSCA From Reaching Full Goal It was the day after the Pitt Weekend and an hour before the Victory Pep Rally. Being a little tired I decided to go up to PSCA's Hugh Beaver Room in 304 Old Main, grab a soft chair, possibly play a few records, and just take it easy for an hour. As I walked in something made me pay particular attention to a sign which was recently posted on the bulletin board. It says "Our purpose: To provide an open fellowship of Pe:,n State students and faculty, organized to deepen their spiritual life thru worship, study, ar,d action—to keep as our objectives the teach ings of Christ but welcoming into the organization people of all faiths." At that time my mind was in capable of tying in how the sixty odd projects undertaken each year such as the Student Hand book, Religion-in-Life Week, and the Marriage Institute go towards fulfilling that purpose. Too, I was thinking more of that restful chair in the Hugh heaver Room. Just about the time I sat down, In walked James Smith, general secretary of the PSCA. "Ralph", he said, "what are we going to do about this finance drive?" "The reports still aren't coining in too well, Jim"? I asked. Time Factor "No", Jim went on to say, "I thought we were selecting a good time this year for the drive, but evidently not. During the ten days set aside for the drive (Nov.. ember 10-20) there were blue books on top of bluebooks and the Navy Weekend. Then during the week's extension of the drive here was Pitt Weekend and a football holiday." "To date only about 5(, percent of the student goal of $4200 has been turned in, and most of the division leaders haven't corn nleted their reports. In one sec ion there has been no report at all." "Jim", I said, "do you think it is just that students aren't con A Beautiful FREE With All Five Pocket Lighter Carton _ Orders SiltO r , CIGARETTES Postage Carton Prepaid ALL POPULAR BRANDS SAVE UP TO 40c ON A CARTON Perfect Delivery Guaranteed Minimum Order 3 Cart's.

"that its mainly that solicitors have had so much foot ball and bluebooks or their minds that they just let the drive go temporarily. The drive Is being conducted just as in past years, and the students have never failed to give generousli• " Cabinet Needs Money "The Student CaLinet has to have the money if it is to carry out the year's plans", he contin ued. The week after Thanksgiv ing we will make another appeal, and now that football season is over maybe our drive will go over." Then someone called Jim to the phone, and as he left I thought to myself "What a pity it would be if 8400 students didn't raise $4200 as their share of their cam pus Christian Association's an nual expenses. Suddenly realizing I was one of those 8400, I knew we could and would raise the money. Chemistry Society In a talk before the Liebig Chemical society recently Dr. Ro bert W.
