Agathe, Hedwig, Ma ria, Martina, Rosemary, and Elea nore are the daughters, and Wer ner and Johannes, the sons.

The goal. was then raised to 600 and finally to 800.- Pledges ex ceeded the final goal by almost . 200. ' By ERNIE MOORE Chest Drive Donations Total $5900 Campus Chest returns reached $5900 as $7OO in contributions flowed into drive headquarters yesterday. The Chest has ex tended its drive until Nov. 20 in an attempt to reach its $12,000 goal. The Chest drive opened two weeks ago today, but was ex tentled when officials saw it would be impossible to reach the goal within two weeks, due to slow returns. Quick Returns Asked Slowness in the drive was due to apathy on the part of many so licitors and laxity on the part of some students who apparently did not realize the importance of the nine charities benefiting, lead ers said. Many solicitors had failed to make first reports as late as the second week of the drive. Officials asked for quick solici tation returns during the drive extension. The faculty and staff portion of the drive, which begins solicita tions Monday, will last all next week. Ralph Armington, profes sor of electrical engineering, heads the faculty drive. Groups Not Included Faculty contributions will go either to the Penn State Christian Association or the World Student Service Fund. Donors may desig nate, which group will benefit from their contribution. Professor Armington explained that groups r benefited by the State College. Welfare Fund, to which the faculty has contrib uted, are not included in this Campus Chest drive. Motor Causes Mac Hall Fire An overheated elevator motor caused a small fire in McAllister Hall yesterday morning. The fire was confined to the brick shaft and caused no' apparent damage according to Captain Philip Mark of the Campus Patrol. Pans of bread stacked in the elevator tilted, Mark said, causing t"he elevator to jam between the basement and first floor. The motor kept running, however, and 'started to heat up. Smoke formed when the insulation be gan smoldering, and five fire trucks reached the dormitory 'at about 10:35 a.m. The blaze couldn't have caused any damage to the building, Mark said, because the shaft is fireproof and separate from the construction of the building. For safety measures the auto matic switch will be replaced by a manual switch at once so that in the future the motor can be stopped immediately if necessary.
