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

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

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.
