DONALD ROBERTS, fifth semester mechanical engineering major,

nurse of State College, in preparation for his donation to the
campus blood drive. The Johnstown Red Cross bloodmobile( unit
handled 100 donors at the TUB yesterday:
Red. Cross Pleased
At Student Turnout
Johnstown Red Cross bloodmobile officials said yesterday 'they
were "very pleased" with the response of Penn State students to the
two-day blood drive. The donation period began yesterday and will
end today.
Arthur Koster, center adminis
blood program, said that the 'only
regret of the organization is that
it has failed to meet the expec
tations of students at the College.
He explained that more than 300
pints of blood; the -goal - for the
drive, could not haVe been handled]
in this campaign, because sched
uling is done at least six months
to one
.year in advance.
_:`100 Donations Handled
He said, however, that in the
future the desires of this campus
will be taken into consideration
and proper adjustment will be
made. Koster explained there are
31 participating Red Cross chap - -
ters requiring scheduled -visits of
the bloodmobile unit each year.
Much of the scheduling is done
according to the population in a
particular area, he said.
The unit, stationed at the Tem
porary Union Building for the
two-day drive, handled 100 dona
tions yesterday: Mrs. Helen Shaf
fer, chief nurse, said 'that the
unit fell behind schedule because
some students did not receive
their af t ern oon appointments
through the mail. She attributed
it to the fact that yesterday, Arm
istice Day, there was no mail de
livery.
Distributed in 3 Ways
Donors are given a physical ex
amination b e f or e donating and
re c e • i v e refreshments following
the donation. The entire process
takes approximately •one hour for
each donor.
• Blood obtained by the Johns
town unit is distributed in three
ways. Part is sent as whole blood
to Korea, part is used in hospitals
in the region for civilians and part
is sent to laboratories to be made
into plasma for, the armed forces.
From donation centers the blood
is sent to Johnstown, where it is
distributed according to the needs
at the time.
The unit is scheduled to return
to the campus for a three-day stay
in early May.

Sandwich Signs
Violate college
Election Code
All-College elections committee
last night issued a warning to
students in general, and campus
political parties in particular, that
wearing sandwich sign political
posters on campus is a violation
of the All-College elections- code.
The committee based its action
on Article 10, section four of the
code which lists as a violation:
"Campaign poster in any part of
Old Main other than those ap
proved by the election committee
for use at the polls. Posters may
be placed only in the dormitories
or TUB."
A complaint that suc'h signs
have been seen on campus ad
vertising Lion Party candidates
was presented to the committee
last night by Walter Sachs, State
Party clique chairman. The com
mittee was also' informed similar
signs advertising the State Party
have been seen.
Although the committee did de
cide the signs were in violation
of the code, no penalty for the
violation was determined.
The committee will meet with
party chairrnen after the polls
close tomorrow following the
freshman-sophomore class elec,,
tions.

The November Penn State En
gineer is, now on sale at the Cor
ner Room and the Student Union

Attendance of first and second semester women at registered
and chaperoned fraternity events and chaperoned dating in -the
West Dormitory lounges, except for an amendment in hours, were
approved yesterday by the Senate committee .on student affairs,
according to Wilmer E. Kenworthy, secretary.
. Originally the Interfraternity Council requested that first
semester women be allowed to
attend registered and chaperoned
events and that, second-semester
women come under the IFC Un
chaperoned Dating Code.
• Kenworthy said the committee
recognized th e improvements
made by most fraternities in re
cent years and "the outstanding
job being done by IFC in adminis
tering fraternity affairs."
Rules formerly in effect did
not permit first semester women
to go to fraternities at any time,
and second semester women were
allowed to attend registered and
chaperoned events.
Lounge Dating
Dating in the lounges of Mc-
Kee, -4-lamilton, and Irvin halls
and the recreation rooms on Level
A in McKee and Hamilton halls
will be permitted between the
hours of 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. Fri
days, 2 p.m. and 1 a.m. Saturdays,
and 2 p.m. and. 10 p.m. Sundays.
The dating code applies only to
weekends
Previously dating had been per
mitted only in the main lounge
of the West Dorms. The West
Dorm Council had asked for dat
ing permission from 2 p.m. to 1
a.m. Fridays. The committee ex
plained that supervision could not
be provided before 7 p.m. Fri
days.
In the code, the West Dorm
Council assumes responsibility for
the enforcement and operation of
the code. The code also states
that dating is permitted during
regular semesters except during
vacation periods and specifies
that women guests must enter
and leave by the entrance ad
jacent to the lounges mentioned.
Committee Formed
,Point 3c of the code says: "A
committee will be formed by the
West Dormitory Council to work
in conjunction with the resident
counselor as chaperons."
Violations of the code will be
referred to the executive commit
tee of the West D'orm Council,
and that group will refer its rec
ommendations to the student af
fairs committee for proper action.
The executive committee of the
West Dorm Council consists of the
resident counselor adviser to the
council, the president, vice presi
dent, secretary, and treasurer of
the council.
Political Parties Enter
Final Day of Campaign
Both Lion and State parties will make the final burst toward
the finish line today in the last efforts of campaigning for their
freshman and sophomore class officer candidates.
Tomorrow is election day.
"Whether you vote State or Lion, be sure to get out and vote,"
is the opinion of leaders on both
sides of the political fence. Barry
Kay, campaign manager of State
Party, said yesterday, that from
his view of the campaigns every
thing seemed to be running
smoothly. Kay said he is hoping
a greater percentage of students
vote than last fall, when only 27
pef cent came out.
Sachs Makes Statement
Lion Party clique chairman
Richard Kirschner said he feels
that the freshman response this
year has been especially good,
and that much freshman political
activity, formerly latent, has de
veloped in this campaign.
Walter Sachs, ; State Party clique
chairman, expressed hope for a
record vote, saying that the recent
national record may carry over
into the campus political field.
Lion Party campaign materials,
including "Vote Lion" signs, will
be available to any students who
