PAGE TWO Editorials and columns appearing in The Daily Collegian represent the op Where the Money Goes "How do I know where my money is actually going?" is the question often asked a solicitor for College drives. Everyone has a right to know where the money that is ob tained from an All-College drive is placed. Beginning Monday, and continuing throughout next week, the campus unit of the Red Cross will be contacting each individual on campus for contributions to its annual drive. As a potential contributor to this drive you are entirely justified in asking, "Just where is my money going?" and "What has the Red Cross at the College done in the past?" In answer to these questions, a quick glance at last year's record will show what the campus unit of the Red Cross has done. As one of 738 college and university Red Cross chapters, cur campus unit cooperated with the town chapter in community services. Last fall a forest fire prevention movie was sponsored by the campus unit for the Sportsmen's Club in town as a public education service. The campus Red Cross unit cooperates with the town chap ter in home nursing program. Notebooks, and various other school supplies are collected every year by the campus chapter and sent to Germany as a means of pro moting international friendship. A first aid class was sponsored by the campus Red Cross last year. and the College unit cooperated with the College Safety Com mittee in preparation for any disasters which may occur on campus. Preparations, such as guide booklets, programs, arrangements, here last summer were done by the campus chapter last spring. The above are just a few of the many worthwhile projects the Red Cross undertakes. The Red Cross needs money to carry them through. —Pauly Moss Congratulations, But -- Publication yesterday of the names of 408 dean's list students >timulated the writer's speculative nerve, as it has for the past few semesters Blanket congratulations to all who literally made the grade is perhaps called for by the rules of polite collegiate society. Fairness seems to dictate, however, that one qualify his felicitations to the 2.5 or better students. This process doubtless takes place within many minds, anyway. What is the real meaning of the dean's list? Some colleges make a sort of fetish out of it, giving the fortunate few the privilege of skipping classes, presumably the better to pursue their learning in the library. Penn State happily has not adopted this practice. To some, the dean's list may serve to separate the academic - wheat" from the "chaff," or the brains from ordinary students. Any such connotation can be torn to shreds by critics of the college grading system. Thinking persons, not necessarily those who would revolutionize present methods, will recognize that many fac tors other than brain power or effort can determine a student's aver age. The whole grade in some courses, for instance, is based on the results of two or three tests. We have known students who rebel against this exercise in short-term memory, and others who simply find it distasteful to cram. Then there are "bad days," just before vacation, and days when tests in several courses come at once, with uncanny fiendishness. Supporters of the status quo may snap back with the point that these variables exist all through life; therefore, those who can sur mount such obstacles in college deserve due recognition via the lean's list. We agree. But that is as far as we would go. As the late Gert rude Stein might have put it, the dean's list is the dean's list is the dean's list. —John Bonnell. Rev. Lund-Quist The Rev. Carl E.

You infer that we expect to find all the answers to this "snap prob lem" in one discussion, which of course we know as well as you is impossible. Our purpose is to get some of the reasons why the world has lots of "cracks" and what we can do as individuals to mend them. Your remark may have been made in good spirit, but we feel that our efforts deserve more serious treatment. —Marjorie Allen, George Earnshaw, Jr., Patricia Woods Edit Briefs • Delta Sigma Pi, 'commerce fraternity, will sponsor a lecture Wednesday night on "Banking Problems."
