Shortages Halt
Rec Hall Work
Shortages of critical materials
are holding up the construction
of the addition to Recreation Hall,
according to a report from the As
sociated Press.
Shortages of such items as steel,
copper, and other items have
hampered the multi-million dol
lar building programs of two state
agencies, the General State Au
thority and the' State Public
School Building Authority. Sev
eral other colleges have also suf
fered long delays in obtaining
these critical materials.
"All of these applications have
been pending in Washington for
months and so far no allocations
have been made," Oscar N. Lin
dahl, GSA executive, said.
Lindahi said that about ten
per cent of his agency's 200 proj
ects have been hit so far by ser
ious shortages.
At the present time construc
tion has, been halted temporarily
on a building for 400 mental pa
tients at the Woodville State Hos
pital, a new admissions building
at the Dixmont State Hospital
and an auditorium at the Cali
fornia State Teachers College, ac
cording to Lindahi.
IT'S A FACT
In 1859 vacations were strangely supposed to in
terfere with school work, so the college sessions
ran from February to December without a break.
Vacations sure. have changed at Penn State.
Everyone takes a vacation even "It's a Fact,"
but it will be back in 1952. Until then, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year from Mr. and
Mrs. Vic, the bar maids, and the kitchen crew.
The store will remain open for business until
the holidays.

after the Thanksgiving holidays
Leaders said the drive was "de
finitely" a success from the stu
dent standpoint. Last year, stu
dent income in the drive toward
a $14,000 goal was $7892.02. Fac
ulty and staff contributions last
year totaled' $2330.40.
Goal May Be Reached
Drive officials said there was
apparently some misunderstand
ing as to how the drive was to
be conducted, which caused low
returns and slow reports by sol
icitors.
They added that the student
contributions, along with returns
from the faculty drive and spe
cial events to be held this year,
should allow the Chest to reach
its $12,000 goal.
Prof. Ralph Armington, head
of the faculty drive committee,
said some returns were in but
tabulations will not be made un
til later this week. The faculty
drive, which will benefit either
the Penn State Christian Asso
ciation or the World Student
Service Fund, was conducted from
Nov. 12 to 16.
Many Organizations Benefit
The student Chest drive was
ex tended nine days, to the
Thanksgiving recess, when offi
cials felt it would not reach the
goal in its two-week period. Ini
tial returns in the drive were
slow.
Organizations which will bene
fit from the Chest drive are the
PSCA, WSSF, Scholarship pro
gram, Salvation Army, March of
Dimes, Leo Houck Cancer Fund,
eHart Fund, Women's Student
Government Association Christ
mas Fund, and the State College
Community Fund. Three per cent
of drive income will be used for
operating expenses.

Semi Formal - Tickets on Sale at S.U.
No Corsage $2.00 per couple
Sale Fraud
Care -Urged
By NASPA
Students should be wary of
magazine subscription at low pri
ces in return for cash or checks
made out to the salesman, accord
ing to the National Association
of Student Personnel Adminis
tration.
The association state cA that
many colleges, especial* in some
of the, central states, have dis
covered magazine salesmen on
their campuses, who op er at e
quickly and leave the area before
they can be questioned.
NASPA advises that best de
fense against these salesmen is
to avoid giving cash or checks
made out to the salesman in ex
change for magazine subscrip
tions. A reliable agent will ask
his customer to make out the
check to the International Read
er's League or another reliable
organization.
NASPA also urges students to
be on guard against a Who's Who
type file, called the "Collegiate
Social Register."
The persons operating the reg
ister, working from Los Angeles,
as k students, fraternities, and
student groups to spend large
sums of money for the privilege
of being listed in, this file.
The Association believes the
register is designed more for get
ting students' money than for any
social ends, and urges students
and organizations not to spend
their money on the file.
