The plan has been given im
petus by the invention of the
Perry-Higgins process of printing
which, according to Joseph Zer
by, publisher of the Pottsville
Republican and others, will per
mit the establishing of print
shops at a fraction of the cost of
present day methods.
The process, which is based on
the use of magnesium plates, is
being operated successfully on
five newspapers in Florida. The
initial cost of such a plant would
he about $20,000.
If the Senior Class of 1948
votes to give its funds toward the
development of such a plant, an
organization called the Penn
State Student Press, Inc. will be
formed. This non-profit corpora
tion would consist of ten mem
bers who would direct its poli
cies. Five of these members,
whose duty it would be to add
stability, would be named from
the faculty, and five student
members would be elected by
All-College Cabinet.
This body would issue bonds,
handle finances, and determine
when, where, and how a student
printing establishment would be
built.

Summer Work Camps Provide
Opportunity for Employment
by B•tty Ruth Gibbons
One phase of summer work offered by the American Friends
Service Committee is that of Work Camps.
By taking a direct part in significant community affairs, work
campers gain new insights into the social and economic problems of
our country. Manual labor with people in need helps to get rid of
prejudices and break barriers.
Work campers are given a complete program including evening
discussion and study with local
leaders, periods of lectures, field
trips and worship. Campers vol
unteer their time and share in
living expenses and other costs
of the camp. Scholarship aid is
usually available for those who
cannot pay the full fee.
Assist Townspeople
This summer, for example,
campers will assist in the coal
mining town of Crawford, Ten
nessee, in remodeling and re
pairing the school. Structural re
nairs are needed on the roof and
foundations; the school well will
be opened and cleaned and a
Dump house erected over it.
In the Appalachian Highlands.
where the Penland School of
Handicrafts is locate& the work
camp will enlarge the facilities
to make possible a new program,
and will help in repairing other
school property. Campers will be
able to experiment in the crafts
taught at the school and to study
the cultural aspect of the region
through discussions. field trips to
mines, experimental communi
ties. and T.V.A. demonstration
projects.
Help Indians
Tuba City, Arizona, headquar
ters of the Indian Service for the
Western Navaho Indian Reserva
tion, has no place where a
Navaho coming to town can se
cure overnight accommodations.
The camp will assist in building
sleeping quarters, showers, toilet
facilities, cooking and dining
units, and laundry facilities.
Campers will observe and dis
cuss the conditions under which
the American Indian lives.
Last year in Maine fires vir
tually leveled nine communities.
A work camp will help rebuild
public buildings in one of these
rural villages, working with
townsfolk on a town hall, a fire
house, or a school.
Summer Camps
Campers will be asked to con
tribute as much as possible to
the $125 maintenance cost. Camps
this summer will' last the eight
week period from July 2 to Au
gust 27.
According to the AFSC, stu
dents who "can discipline them
selves to live cooperatively as
part of a group, to interpret the
way of peace to the community
in which they work, to engage in
hard physical labor, and to study
sympathetically the social and
economic problems of the area,
should apply for summer work
camps. •
Requests for applications may
be sent to the American Friends
Service Committee, 20 S. 12th
Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Further
information may be had at the
Christian Association office, 304
Old Main.

Pork barbecue, baked beans,
milk, punch and ice cream are on
the menu, and the cost of the
meal will be 25 cents.
A hay wagon will make round
trips starting at 9 o'clock from
Rec Hall to the Corner Room,
past the girls' dorms and back to
Rec Hall to haul couples to the
,dance.
While the carnival festivities
are being held on the edges of
the "carnival grounds," a jam
boree of square dancing and
hokey-pokey will hold sway on
the main dance floor of the gym.
Dungaree Dance
Topping off the evening will be
a dungaree dance featuring Pat
Patterson and his band. During
the intermission of the affair, a
couple best typifying the "dun
garee duds" spirit will be crown
ed king and queen of the dance.
Tickets for the evening affair
re on sale at the Student Union
desk at $2 or may be obtained
from members of the Ag Student
Council.
ATTENTION SENIORS
The Lingnan University Memorial Book Fund is the op
portunity for the Class of 1948 to unselfishly help our war
devastated sister university,—Lingnan.
They have asked us for help and how ca n we refuse! Their
library was plundered by the invading Japs, who robbed and
destroyed it ruthlessly. Here is our chance to help them to
rebuild from the ruins of their country.
This is an act which will receive fo r Penn state, the
praise of students all over the world who are striving for
lasting peace. If this suggestion is passed, it will indeed be a
glorious chapter in the 37th year association of Penn State and
Lingnan.
For Which Is Better You May Ask Yourself:
A permanent gift to world-wide friendship and one which
will make Penn State more widely known?
A partial contribution toward a project which when com
pleted will be strictly limited in its use to our campus?
Vote for the Memorial Book Fund for
Lingnan University, Canton, China.
