In c hest
To eliminate the problem of repeated charity drives on cam
pus, Campus Chest was organized in 1950. The chest conducts a
single, consolidated drive during the fall semester of each year.
Funds are distributed to a number of organizations, each re-
ceiving a set percentage of the amount contributed. No other
charity drives are allowed on c.
In the 1952 drive. $11,614.17 of
zi $12,000 goal was collected. In
1951. $11,890.67, more than 99 per
cent of the $12,000 goal, was con
tributed by faculty members and
students.
Nine organizations benefited by
the drive last year are the Penn
State Christian Association, World
Student Service Fund, Women's
Student Government Association
Christmas Fund ' State College
Welfare Fund, Salvation Army,
American Cancer Society, Nation
al Student Service Fund for Ne
gro Students, Penn State Scholar
ship, and- the Heart Fund. .
PSCA received the greatest
amount, 46 per cent.
In addition to personal solicita
tions, the chest receives funds
from socials and special events. A
Kick-off Dance in the fall starts
the campaign.
Two requirements must be met
by organizations to be authorized
to receive chest funds. Their activ
ities must reflect credit on the
College community and they must
represent the entire College com
munity and not a small, segment.
The chest developed from plans
worked out by the National Stu
dent Association, of which the Col
lege is a member. The chest was
organized to serve three pur
poses: to eliminate duplicated ef
forts, establish a definite policy
toward the operation of fund
drives on campus, and emphasize
the responsibility of students and
faculty toward the charities and
organizations benefiting from the
fund.

Dr. Eric A. Walker, dean of the
Engineering school, addressed the
group last night.
R. Rupert Kountz, professor of
sanitary engineering, ha s ex
plained that milk wastes are four
to eight times as strong a pollu
tant as sewage and have a po
