PAGE TWO Why Not a Campus Chest ? Annually, Penn State students are besieged by finan cial drives for charity organizations, student funds, medi cal research and administration and other extremely worthwhile purposes. The rapidity and regularity of the drives which begin in December and carry over into late Spring, has proved annoying to drive planners and givers•alike. Of utmost importance in the success of a campaign is the timing, and a drive may follow too closely to a previous one for the latter to be as successful as the former. A number of large colleges have instituted campus chests, in which only one drive is conducted, this being an all-out affair, with the receipts apportioned to the various organizations. The University of Illinois presented a Carnival week end, with the total intake amounting to $30,000. The Illini's method included several phases. First, a fleet of workers canvassed every dormitory, fraternity and sorority house, and student dwelling. This brought in $4,000. Then, a queen contest was held, with any and every organization allowed to nominate and support a campus beauty. Election of the queen was determined by the larg est vote, with each vote costing ten cents. Organizations put on their own drives and money-making schemes to raise vote-buying money. The voting lasted for one week. and $B,OOO was the income from this phase of the project. A gala parade took place in which floats, automobiles, queens and bands participated. In the large Illini fieldhouse, 52 booths and side shows were exhibited ranging from a miniature golf course to a burlesque parody. A ticket for each event was also ten cents, with the fieldhouse open from 6 to 12 p.m. This phase proved the most successful, with the intake totalling $lB,OOO. Yale and Ohio State, along with other colleges, chart campus chest drives without the fanfare. It is recommended that Cabinet annoint a committee to write to these sc'hools and investicrate the mechanisms of these projects. Following' thormigh study, if a nlan is thought practical, a chest should be instituted on Fh`q cam pus. —Ted Rubin Editor's Mailcall Letters to The Editor's Mail Call should be limited to 150 w.rds so that all contributors may be given space.

A Chance Lost TO THE EDITOR: On Sunday afternoon a mixer was held by the Student Council of the School of Education. The purpose of this mixer, in addition to providing an after noon's entertainment, was to give education students a chance to meet the faculty outside the classroom. The Coucil wishes to extend its sincerest thanks to the many fac ulty members who attended for their cooperation However, in considering the number of educa tion students who attended in proportion to the number on campus, the Council is disap pointed at their apathy. The cooperation of every stu dent of the School of Education is necessary in striving to make it still better, whether this co operation is by actively partici pating in various student organi zations or by attending the var ious functions given What have you done?

PENNSYLVANIA Mistaken Idea TO THE EDITOR: The criti cism in Editor's Mailcall of May 4, about Howard Eckert's letter seems to have created an idea not expressed in his letter. He did not call Mr. Fairorth a `Red." In fact, I don't think the party in question has enough nerve to be associated with the Comrnunist Party. The best explanation of the preceding statement is an ex ample. In the dormitory recently, the following conversation oc cured: Eckert: "Do you believe we should turn the United States over to Russia without a fight?" Mr. A: "Maybe it isn't such a bad 'idea." The man who gave that answer is a big wheel in the Students for Wallace movement. If that is the attitude of the people campaign ing for Wallace then they are not fit to take their place in a group of men who have gone out and fought for their country. I don't believe in war, either, but I sort of like the American way of life and if these people do not like it, then there are boats leaving for other countries every day. A man who would give our country to another without any fight at all, really doesn't de serve to live in it, for he surely is not an asset.
