Independent Queen's Vital Statistics Are 'Confuzin' In the words of Al Capp's 'LH Abner,' circumstances at the Stu dent Union desk the other day were "confuzin" but not a bit "amoozin" for a red faced Jim McCallum, S.U. clerk. The plight revolved around pretty Claire Hillstrom, recently elected Penn State Independent Queen. In order to relay Miss Hill strom's body measurements along with other vital statistics to the national independent queen con test, McCallum sent the Simmons' resident a phone call. The AIM beauty was asked if she could give her measurements. . . . "Okey," replied Claire," but where should I take them?" Con fused, McCallum thought that she meant where on the anatomy she should take them. "In the usual place. I guess," he answered. Nonpulsed Miss Hill strom came right back to ask where that was. Completely routed, McCallum was about to go into finer points when the situation was cleared up—much to the relief of both.

National Student As sociation has called upon Congress to enact legislation to provide a national program of federally financed scholarships for approxi mately 300,000 college students. The 'Civilian G I Bill" would provide for direct support to the individual on the basis of need and ability, and would be ad ministered by the states without discrimination as to race, creed, economic or social status. Support Legislation More than 700,000 students, represented in NSA through 289 colleges and uni.'ersities, were called upon to exert full support for such legislation. The urgent need was stressed by the Associa tion's National Commission on Educational Problems when it in dicated that another 10 percent increase in general tuition was to be expected for the coming year. NSA has launched its program on three levels. In the first two, its member coleges and regional organizations have been called upon to solicit public and con PRICE FIVE CENTS polled more than both his rivals as he received 1096 votes against 649 for Charles Drazenovich and 450 for Joseph Tocci.

On the national level, the staff of NSA has appealed to House and Senate Committees to recom mend national scholarship legis lation. The NSA Subcommission on Legislation in Washington is preparing to circularize all indi vidual members of Congress to enlist their support. Need Cited Since veteran enrollments are expected to end by 1956, federal appropriations under the present G.I. Bill could be diverted, coin cident with the 17 percent de crease in G.I. enrollments in the past year, to non-veteran students of ability and need. Seventy-five percent of the nations 17-18 year old group were not enrolled in college last year, and 50 percent of this group conic from families with an income of less than $3,00(, per annum.
