of the major problems facing the
men who were living in the Gent
zel Building before it was hit by
the fire.
Replace Clothing
The value of the textbooks lost
by tha men in the fire amounts to
hundreds of dollars, and Keeler's
feels they cannot be expected to
replace all of these books. For
this reason, it will be necessary
for the men to salvage as many
of the books as they can so that
more men may be aided by the
offer.
, College Sportswear Inc. has also
offered to help the fire victims
by replacing some of the clothing
lost in the fire. The value of the
clothing lost in the blaze is prob
ably the largest single item on
the list. This offer together with
the fund being collected jointly
by the Association of Independent
Men, Interfraternity Council, Pan
hellenic Council, and Leonides
is expected to effectively aid the
students to get back on their feet.
Deadline Saturday
As yet, only about half of the
fire victims have reported to Dan
iel DeMarino, assistant dean of
men. It is imperative that the
rest of the men report to the dean
of men's office with an itemized
list of their losses, according to
DeMarino. Until this is done, it
it will be impossible to help, any of
the men.
Saturday noon is the deadline
for students who desire help to
contact the dean of men's office.
AEC , Proposes
New Expansion
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (4')
Chairman Gordon Dean of the
Atomic Energy Commission said
tonight that tentative plans are
now being developed for a Nast
ne w expansion o f America's
atomic weapons output—the third
since 1949.
Dean said the proposed expan
sion was spurred by the threat
of the "Communist colossus"
towering over the world's free na
tions and was made feasible, at
least in part, by fresh discoveries
of uranium deposits in Canada
and Colorado.
"There has recently been a very
decided improvement in the ura
nium supply outlook," Dean said
in a speech prepared for the. an
nual mobilization dinner of the
American Ordnance Association.
"Although the known sources of
uranium available to us today are
certainly far from inexhaustible,
they nevertheless do represent a
substantial improvement over the
situation which prevailed until a
relatively short while ago."
Dean said' one of the major
reasons "why a further expansion
of the atomic energy program is
now being considered" is the fact
that recent technological' devel
opments "have made possible the
consideration of atomic weapons
for tactical as well as strategic
employment."

Forestry Students
Orient at Mont Alto
Have you ever heard of Mont Alto? Oh, yes, those of you who
spent your first year there can' surely remember the name, and
you can probably give a dissertation on the work involved in spend
ing your first year as a forestry major there.
The 120 freshmen now spending their time at Mont Alto are
doing lots of work and they say that there is more to come. Ahead
of them are the tasks of using
cross-cut saws and axes as well
as numerous field trips into the
Mountains surrounding the Mont
Alto Branch of the Pennsylvania
State Forest School. All of this
is just a beginning for the three
years of advanced training which
follows at the College
Perhaps you will believe the
amount of work the Mont Alto
boys do when you hear the
amount of food they consume.
Maurice K. Goddard, professor
of forestry and director of the
Mont Alto branch, points out that
the "laboratory work" gives the
boys a good appetite, for they
eat about 10 per cent more food
than students on the main cam
pus. The boys usually add some
fat to their bones while at the
forestry bran c h, Goddard re
ports.
During'thet first week of this
semester, the freshmen helped
-clear. about 50 acres of land for
a new water supply darn for
Waynesboro. This was the first
time for many of the boys to
handle axes and .it is reported
that they became fairly skillful
before the week's end.

no play makes Jack a dull boy,"
holds true at Mont Alto. Along
with basketball, archery, and a
wide variety of outdoor sports,
the boys also have a rather con
venient contact with the fairer
sex. Wilson College, Chambers
burg, occasiorially invites the for
t
esters to dances.
Originally the State; For es t
School, Mont Alto was deeded to
the College in 1937, even though
it had been operated by the Col
lege since 1929. It offers excel
lent opportunity for work in bas
ic forestry and botany because of
its location in the mountains.
The foresters are also required
to take chemistry, mathematics,
English composition, physical ed
ucation, and Air and Army ROTC
training. • In their closely knit
class and recreational groups,
the students at Mont Alto are
able to become well acquainted
with each other, which will aid
in the continuance of their work
together for three more years at
Penn State.
Whether it be swinging an ax
or using a cross-cut saw, th e
boys are on the go during their
first year of forestry training at
Mont Alto.

Clothing
Drive Set
For Monday
Sacks to hold contributions for
the Korean clothing drive which
begins Monday will be distributed
to all dormitory units and frater
nity houses Saturday by Alpha
Phi Omega, service honorary and
co-sponsor of the drive, and Blue
Key hat society.
Bags will also be placed at the
College Sportswear store, opposite
the post office on the corner of
Beaver avenue and S. Allen street
for the contributions of town stu
dents.
Posters above the sacks will ex
plain their purpose.
Co-chairmen of the drive are
Nancy McClain, Hat Society
Council; William Slepin, APO, and
Jean Lathlaen, Penn State Chris
tian Association. These three or
ganizations are co-sponsoring, the
drive.
The sacks are being given the
committee. by the New Windsor,
Md., branch of the American Re

from New •Windsor will pick up
the filled sacks at the end .of
the drive. Penn State students
are being asked to fill 100 sacks.
Letters have been sent to all
sorority, fraternity and dormitory
presidents asking each to 'appoint
one person to be in charge of the
drive in the living unit.
• Only 15 percent of the relief
promised Korea's 3,000,000 dis
placed persons by the United
States for this year has been col
lected. The current clothing drives
are trying to make up this deficit.
In a recent clothing drive in
State College, the College Sports
wear store collected 400 pounds
of clothing by giving a $lO dis
count on suits purchased to each
customer who would donate an
old suit to the drive.
Church groups and the Demo
cratic Women's Club also col
lected clothing for the drive, but
no figures were available on their
results.
