PAGE TWO CA Support .Through solicitors contacting every student and faculty member at the College, the Penn State Christian Association has launched its annual drive for funds to conduct a board program this fall and next spring. The goal set for student and faculty con tributions is $7500. At first that goal may seem enormous, but after considering the facts that the College enrollment is larger this year and that the CA must broaden its program to provide for this increased number, the sum appears to be the prover bial "drop in the bucket." Some may be skeptical about the PSCA’s program and_ feel that they have no reason ibr contributing ti its cause. If this is so, it is because they are ill-informed. The CA pro gram touches everyone on campus. TO PROVE THIS, one need only cite some of the projects of the CA. Many students will be interested in the United Nations Assembly tour to be conducted soon, and also in th 6 “Know Your Government” tour to .Washington scheduled later. Another top feature of the CA* program will be the international festival. These three projects account for only a small peri of the CA program. Besides scholastic and intellectual programs, there are the spiritual and social/ sides. Merely because the CA stresses the spiritual side is no reason for some to misrepresent it as a "sissy" organization, for it is far from that. For those who are interested, the CA has planned weekend parties, including floor shows featuring the best talent on campus. TENTATIVELY, THIS year’s CA program partially calls for touts, cabin parties, student faculty get-togethers, vocational services, local deputations (including trips to the county jail aim state penitentiary), all-College Christmas caroling,, dancing' classes, the international festival, inter-faith programs, work parties, movies, noted speakers, Religion-in-Life Week, and countless other activities desired by stu dents. i A further word may be said for the $7500 goal: Princeton University CA sponsored', a $22,500 drive last week. If they can attain their goal, surely we can reach ours. ' Yours for a hearty contribution and a better Penn State! Gazette Tuesday, November I L. A.

Alien Street —Ray Benfer • • • • THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA “ And This Is The Member From The U. S. S. R.’* The Gripes of Roth By RED r!oTH When one of the greatest attractions of a dance band is a 75- year old woman, that's news. But when that same woman proves a drawing card for not one, but two of America’s top commercial musical organizations, that’s just short of sensational. THE WOMAN IN question, Mrs. Theresa DotSfey, Was a visitor to the College, Friday, accompanying the older of Her two famous sons, Jimmy. “Mom” Dorsey, as all the band members affectionately call her, divides her time between touring with Jimmy’s Junior Prom-playing outfit and the orchestra of her equaliy-famous younger son, Tommy. Calling her a drawing, card is not just a reporter's label, either. This was amply demonstrated 'at a party given for the J. Dorsey entourage at the ATO house Friday evening. The grey-haired, smiling prototype of The Average American Mother had little trouble diverting the attentions of a majority of. those present, including the males, from the more voluptuous charms of Miss Claire Hogan, Dorsey's current female "canary." . The sexy Miss Hogan was forced to rely on members of the band for company while a horde of interested students grouped about “Mom” to hear her relate anecdotes from the days when Tommy Dorsey Sr. (now deceased) hid his sons’ shoes to force them to practice their music lessons. NOR WAS THIS a unique feat for the aged, but still lively band mother. According to Mrs. Lila Kerner, Jimmy’s secretary, the spritely Mrs. D; is introduced at,- and outshines rivals during theater dates bf both Dorsey brothers. Mom.has her own ideas about music and is vehement in de claring them. Like Tommy, who recently came out 3n, a national magazine with an article decrying the current "bop" craze, she dislikes-most modern "progressive jazz." But Unlike Tommy, who merely writes about his opinions, she is ready to carry her argu ments to the American public by radio. Recently she challenged one of the nation's greatest bop musicians, Charlie Parker/to a debate oh the relative merits of the new American music. A spot and time were arranged over the National Broad casting Company.~Mom arrived, ready to carry the issue to the great listening public. Charlie, however, failed to show. MANY EMCEES AT night clubs, theaters, and over the air have tried to pin her down as to which type of music. Tommy’s or Jimmy’s, she likes best. The most recent example occured just a few months ago in Miami. While playing a hotel engage ment, Jimmy introduced his mother to the guests present. The master of ceremonies fell back on the old question,* "which is the better musician, Tommy or Jimmy?” Jimmy almost fell through the floor when his mother said, “why there’s ho doubt at all, Tommy.” He brightened up a secohd later when she added after a pause, “senior.” • Each of the brothers vies for Mom's attentions. Now travel ing with Jimmy, she received a. call a few weeks ago from Tommy, currently playing at the Shamrock. Hotel in Houston, Tex. He begged her to join him there, but Mom insisted. it wouldn't be fair to Jimmy to leave Unlil she had given him the full six months of the year to which he was ehlitled. At an age when most American mothers are satisfied to settle down to their purling and knitting, this figure of a grand lady, aged seven score and five, enduring the hardships of one-night stands as well as troupers one-tnird her age, reihains one of xhe outstanding features In the dance band profession. 7 . • Interested in Maximum Qualify Shoes at Minimum Prices? Safety Valve... TO THE EDITOR: Pertaining to the article in the Saturday morning Collegian about bringing in imports for big weekends. Being a member of a fraternity with a lot of fellows in the same boat as those girls* imports are the only solution to the problem. When mix ers are held, no .good looking women ever show up for the men to meet, consequently those beautiful non-coeds that are not quite as. as our college girls are invited to spend a pleasant weekend at good old Penn State. —Fred P. S. How about a big mixer in R*e Hall? • Name withheld. TO THE EDITOR: In repjy to those poor unfortunate girls who are forced to go home because they have no dates here at the cam pus ... If instead of running home to hide the fact that they are dateless, they would lower their pride and go to the dances and mixers that are conveniently held, ori the cam pus, they might get a few dates. But no, they won’t come to any of these mixers unless es corted. If they attended some of these mixers instead of going home to mama and papa they might meet some fellows who would like to date them. We. fellows can’t go up to your hotel hostess and ask for a date; it would be like buying a grab bag. Personally, I don't think you girls would like, this procedure. So lower your pride girls or suffer the con sequences of tire fellows bringing their im ports.
