PAGE TWO Chip In- We're asked to chip in again—it seems to be the peculiar privilege of the richest people on earth to contribute driblets of its wealth to the always worthy causes of the less fortunate. Our political system creates this responsibility; we carry it out. 1!::::!:1 THE WORLD STUDENT Service Fund has a project a little closer to our own lives and interests than most fund subscription drives, ) and requests but little from each of us. The ) little will be tremendously effective if all of us are sharers in the contribution. But, in what ) way is the WSSF solicitation more in tune with the sympathies of Penn State students? Simply because the receivers of the benefits are Chi- nese, Greek, Hindu editions of the denizens of ~ the Nittany Valley, with a , gigantic desire to get education, at any .expenditure of physical effort. But they just don't have the material. There was a war. The European students aren't kidding; they print and mimeograph their own texts, build their own schools, live in tents; plenty of them have tuberculosis. Medicine and suffici ent food they can't make or buy, nor labora tory instruments, nor a host of other necessary items we are used to falling over. WSSF has in the past two years sent around the world 100,000 pounds of food, $12,000' worth of laboratory instruments, established nine book publishing units and many rest centers and tuberculosis sanitaria in critical areas, given financial and study• aid to refugee students in Europe, India, and China. The statistics may or may not be convinc ing; the situation needs little in the way of wringing charity appeals. Let •us put emo tion aside for a bit, although it could easily be fanned, and consider the fund appeal in the cold light of reason. These are the educated of tomorrow's European and Asiatic worlds, and will exert a ponderous influence on the future of civilization. Let them be aided by American books, and medicines, and food. and inspiration. It may well be that the ex posure to free principles as we conceive them will bulwark our ideology, and enable final defeat of totalitarian ignorance.

He's in imminent danger 'of never graduating despite the fact that in another year he'll have -"more •than enough credits and honor points to receive the coveted diploma. • ICE CREAM Strawberryt Eclairs 2 fo, 294 (15c EACH) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Little Man On Campus C 4fyr P ''—An' then 'bout two weeks ago he joined 'Pin-Ball Anonymous? The Gripes of 'Roth On any campus of 10,000 odd (not used in the literal sense)" souls, there's a raft of human interest stories which are seldom exposed to the public orb. I HAPPENED TO run into one, and real sob stuff it is, juit the other day. Because the student concerned wishes, to remain anony mous, I'll refer to him as Larry G. How I came to arrive at the name Larry for this sad character is an interesting'tidbit in itself. It seems I have a fraternity brother whose father's name is Sigmund. Now this fraternity brother has a bosom friend whose pater is named Harry. - I promised Sigmund's son I'd mention his father in a column some day, but I couldn't think of a name to rhyme with Sigmund. The next best thing to do was get a name that would rhyme with the father of his best friend. Larry rhymes suitably with Harry. One further.. point which influenced the decision to call him Larry , was the fact that his, real name is Larry. All this caine about because, as is natural with many people who have never lived in a foreign country, he has never learned to read, write,• and Conjugate Spanish, Russian, Sanskrit, or any other of the more than 50 tongues' spoken outside the' borders of our nation. „ \ Not that he hasn't tried. He even took to smoking Arabic cigar ettes and rubbing himself with Turkish towels in an effort to imbue himself with fluency in a foreign language. BUT ALL WAS in vain. After zipping Spanish 1 he miserably failed to secure even a zip in two attempts to storm the redout4. of Spanish 2. Being a valiant soul, he next attempted Russian. Here he was down for the count before he began. If he couldn't master a language with only 26 letters, how could he be expected to place 32 characters, or whatever number the Bolsheviks use in order to confuse the capitalistic warmongers, in the correct order. In his own private "cold war" Larry again went down to an igno-, minious defeat, the sum total of his efforts resulting in still another bar one. Even after his third defeat he wouldn't give up. For this semest er he's scheduled German. As of this writing, no progress report on Larry's Deutch is available. He's prepared for any eventuality, how ever. The last time I saw him he was earnestly engrossed in a catalog from the University of Washington. If all else fails he's , going to transfer to Seattle and try to smorgasbord his way through Swedish.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1950 Time's Running Out TO THE EDITOR; Sitting at a Nittany Coun cil meeting and listening to a sad case entails a bit of serious thinking. The sad case; the new dormitory applications are due at Mr. de Mar ino's office before March 1, 4:00 p.m. One catch; there have only been about 290 applications turned in to date. Originally, 650 rooms • were set aside for upper classmen. All-College Cabi net •has planned to ask for twice that number due to the large protest from our area. Judging from the figures, I would say it is futile. How can "Cabinet" back us when we won't back ourselves! We want things done? Well, why not do them when the chance comes along! If we really want to live in the new dorms lets have applications to show for it instead 'of "Anonymous" letters! However, just this word of caution. If you don't intend living in the new dormitory area, please don't fill an application form. The administration certainly cannot af ford to tolerate misrepresentation on our part, especially when they are dealing in terms of millions. Get on ihe.ball fellows,-'cause time's a-runnin' out! I/ Supposedly Normal TO THE EDITOR: Since everybody •is ex pressing his opinions about the "Sweater Contest," we would also like to / say a thing or two. In-answer to Pete Twaddle who expressed, in' rather vulgar language his views, we wish to add .something. Maybe the Broadway theatres are showing some "in the gutter" produdtions, but does that mean that we must follow in their footsteps? We are supposedly normal, adjusted people : but some characters around this campus are acting more like sex maniacs.
