(k 4638
The approximate total of the losses incurred by students as a
result of the Gentzel Building fire is $4638, a tabulation of state
ments from 14 of the fire's 19 victims shows.
This figure -is an aggregate total of items completely lost, and
partially destroyed. It includes losses of clothing, books, and mis
cellaneous articles, with sorrie al
lowances made for those things
which can still be used.
The amount will remain inde
finite until the All-College com
mittee which will distribute the
funds being collected to aid the
fire victims can go over the re
ports and determine the losses
more accurately. The big prob
lem, according to Daniel De-
Marino, assistant dean of men,
will be in determining the
amount of damage done to arti
cles which we r e partially de
stroyed, but are still useable.
Stores, Give Aid
- The fund is being collected
jointly by the Association of In
,dependent Meri , Interfraternity
Cotincil, Leonides, and Panhel
lenic Council. The proceeds are
not all in, and the amount of aid
which will be available is not
known.

Blood Drive
Secures
105 Pints
One hundred and five pints of
blood were secured in the first
day of this week's blood drive
extension, B et t y Snoddy, chief
deputy nurse of the Red Cross
unit processing donors, said yes
terday.
The blood drive, which opened
yesterday morning at , the Re
formed Church, will close this
afternoon. The drive extension
was necessitated to handle the
overflow of pledges secured in
last month's drive at the TUB.
Although 192 pledges for yes
terday's operation were received,
Miss Snoddy said, only 128 don
ors turned out. Twenty-three of
these were turned down for
health and other reasons, he ad
ded.
Miss Snoddy-said workers were
"disappointed" that 64 pledges
did not keep their appointments.
A higher percentage had been
expected to keep' their appoint
,ments. she indicated.
' The Red Cross unit can han
dle ten donors every fifteen min
utes except during the noon hour,
she said, and only 150 donors
have been scheduled. for today's
operation. The unit can handle

Lawn Display Canceled
Because' of High Costs
No lawn display will be erected
in front of Old • Main this ' year
because the cost would run well
over cabinet's appropriation of
$9O for that purpose, Stan Wen
gert, chairman of the cabinet
lawn display committee, announc
ed yesterday.
Wengert said, however, that
John Goduscik, seventh semester
architectural engineering student,
will receive the $l5 first prize
for his design for the display.
Lose
in Fire
to the students
At the moment, it is difficult
to determine the amount of aid
which will be needed, DeMarino
said. A number of the students
have insurance, either personal
or family, which may cover part
of their losses, but many of them
are not yet certain as to what
amount, if any, they are covered
for.
$l4OO Covered
The total amount of coverage
reported by the men so far is
about $l4OO, but this figure may
be increased or decreased when
the men ge t the final results
from their individual insurance
companies.
One of the students, who be
lieves he covered for a sub
stantial amount, has offered to
share what ever he receives with
three other victim.%
The proceeds of the fund being
collected should be turned into

• HARRISBURG, Dec. 12—(?P)---A bi-partisan committee was set
up in the House tonight to iron out disagreements in the long
disputed bill requiring loyalty oaths by public employes in Pennsyl
vania.
The committee was set up after both Republicans and Democrats
failed to muster sufficient strength within their own ranks to take
a unified stand on , the measure.
The bill, already passed by the
Senate,- would require anti- Com
munist vows by all public em
ployes in the state, including
school teachers and elected offi
cials.
Want Proper Form
The measure originally was
scheduled to go before the House
for a final vote today. However,
Rep. Charles C. Smith •(Phila),
GOP floor leader, told the law
makers a delay was decided to
attempt to settle differences on
the bill.
"We all want this bill to be in
its proper form and we know by
reaching such an agreement we
will have a better bill," Smith
told the House.
His suggeition was accepted by
Rep. H. G.' Andrews (Cambria)
Democratic floor leader, who
agreed to hold off Democratic
attempts to once again amend the
bill.
Backed by Veterans
The long-disputed bill has at
tracted more button-holing citi
zens to Capitol Hill during the
current session than any other
single measure.
It is backed by state veterans
organizations and has the support
of Gov. John S. Fine. Ranged
against the bill are teacher groups,
college instructors, and civil rights
organizations.
It was amended last night to
broaden court appeal rights of
persons discharged for subver
sive activities. Andrews Indicated
attempts may be made to alter
the amendments.

ferment are a score of 70 or a
ranking in the upper half of the
freshman class, the upper two
thirds of the sophomore class, or
the • upper three-fourths of the
junior class.

defer a an even though he
meets these standards.
More than 60 per cent of those
who took the test previously got
better than a 70 score.

Clothing
Is Collected
For Korea
The first report from the com
mittee conducting th e Korean
clothing drive indicates that town
students have thus far been the
most cooperative.
Approximately 75 pounds of the
153 pounds collected to date have
been left at the two town col
lection stations. Thirty additional
pounds have been left at the
Penn State Christian Association
office with a negligible amount
at the container for the West
Dorms.
The girls dormitories report 25
pounds collected; fraternities in
dicate 20 pounds collected to
date.
Two large bags have been
placed at the main entrance of
the West Dorm dining hall. Wil
liam Slepin, co-chairman of the
drive, asked all residents of the
West Dorms to put clothes in
these sacks, which will be col
lected Saturday. Clothing may be
left also at the PSCA office, 304
Old Main.
Town students should make
their contributions, Slepin said,
at the College Sportswear store,
opposite the post office on the
corner of Beaver avenue and S.
Allen street.
Sacks have also been distri
buted to all dormitory units and
fraternity houses.
The bags for the drive have
been donated by the New Wind
sor, Md. branch -of American Re
lief for Korea committee. Penn
State students are being asked to
fill 100 sacks. Only 15 percent
of the relief promised Korea's
3,000,000 displaced persons by the
United States for this year has
been collected, and the current
drives are trying to make up this
deficit.
