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.

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.

''—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.
