Help For Students One of the agencies that will benefit from the forthcoming Campus chest drive is the World Student Service fund. WSSF has as its purpose the distribution of material and intellectual aid from students in the United States to pupils in nations devas tated by war. Last year the WSSF held its own cam paign on the campus in which it raised $1232.84. The money was used in part to help 16 pre-tubercular-students in Greece regain their health by spending four months at a WSSF rest center. The rest was used to nay half of the maintenance expenses of a coop erative student hostel in Calcutta. India for refugee students who otherwise literally would have lived on the streets. Money given the WSSF is used for medical aid, emergency food and clothing, community centers and self-help hostels, aid to refugee and displaced students, educational supplies and for maintenance of rest centers for physically sick students. THIS YEAR the WSSF drive has been com bined with other drives on campus into the Campus chest campaign. The chest campaign will begin this Saturday and last until the following Friday. Under the plan devised, the WSSF will re ceive 10 per cent of the funds gained by the Campus chest. If the chest reaches its goal of $14,000, the WSSF will receive $l4OO, or .just slightly more than last year. So when the solicitor asks you for your contribution, don't hesitate. Remember the work done by the WSSF for persons of your own age, who are not so fortunate. Where ever they are, the persons who benefit from your generosity will thank you. Gazette ...

Landon Business Mgr. —Joe Breu THE DAILY COLT.EGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANI4k Unsettled Woods An administration official yesterday an nounced that plans for using a section of Hort woods as a parking lot have been "laid away." He said that excessive cost and "other reasons" prompted the action. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT will be welcomed by those who are concerned about the future of the wooded area. No part of Hort woods is in immediate danger of being leveled. Still, the important issue —that of setting aside the woods as a permanent nature pre serve —is far from settled. The administra tion statement admits that removal of a por tion of the woods was considered and it gives no assurance that some such action will not be considered in the future. Action by students and alumni is still essen tial if the woods is not to go the way of less valuable areas on campus. Some argue that to designate the woods as inviolable would be to hamstring the administration in its planning. They neglect to note that there are other areas which can be utilized in new expansion pro grams. HORT WOODS was not erected in a day. Nei ther will it be readily replaced if the adminis tration decides to chop' it down. Safety Valve ... Playing Games TO THE EDITOR: "The purpose of customs is to achieve school and class spirit." Certainly that spirit which the hatmen and other upper classmen felt was so necessary, should, after more than a month, be evident on campus. But for some reason it has failed to appear. Whose fault is this failure? Now hatmen are again trying to enforce the freshmen regulations. This time the frosh do not take the nonsense in the same humor as they had. Things like customs soon become very tiresome. After all, nobody comes to college just to play games with boys in black hats. Letter Cut Destructive Freshmen TO THE EDITOR: The report of damage to •Thompson hall which appeared in the Collegian for October 24 was extremely revolting to most of the men on campus. I'm sure it strikes home particularly with those men who, like myself, are on the waiting list to get into the hotel-like accomodations of the new dorms. Why not put these characters, who can't help being destruc tive, out in Pollock circle where not much more destruction can be done.

Thomas Little Man On Campus ' "All right let's EVERYBODY yell —" Thespians— (Continued from page one) It was while studying in New York two years ago that he had a touch of the "big time." He was put in an advanced class along with Bill Callahan who danced the lead in "Call Me Mister," and Kathryn Leigh, star of "Allegro." Woolever might have gone places from there, but for various rea sons he returned to school in the falL Thespian Success At Penn State, he tried out for Thespians immediately, and rose rather quickly. About staging dances for Thespians, Woolever says, "The big problem is that you don't have time. I have to work out most of the steps as I go along." He's fairly happy with the dances in "Some Punkins," however, and for a dance director that's about equal to wild joy in an ordinary human being. Dram.
