Miss Wagner said.
Students between the ages of
18 and 21 are required to have

each donor.

10 . a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 13 and 15,
and from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 14.
Flight Training
Now Required
For Commissions
In order to be eligible for im
mediate reserve commissions, stu
dents completing the advanced
program in Air Force ROTC in
June will be required to enroll
for flight training, Lt. Col. Jack
W. Dieterle, professor of air sci
ence and tactics, announced yes
terday.
Seniors who will qualify for
commissions in February will not
be affected by this policy, he
added.
Two years in an enlisted status
will be required of seniors who
complete the four-year program
in June and do not enroll for the
flight training at least 90 days
prior to graduation before they
become eligible for commissions.
At the time of completion of the
program, they will be presented
certificates of completion instead
of reserve commission, Dieterle
said.
He explained that curtailment
of the program also has slowed
the calling to active duty of the
240 graduates who received their
commissions in June.
Council Seeks
LA Interest
The improvement of faculty
student relations and increasing
the interest of relations.
Arts stu
dents in the LA school were dis
cussed last night by the LA Stu
dent Council.
Several suggestions were made
to accomplish the council's aims.
The continuation of the LA An
gles and the proposing of coffee
hours for faculty and students
were suggested. These two sug
gestions were also thought to re
turn some of the 25 cents which
each LA student was assessed.,
Approximately 100 st udents
would be ' , invited to attend each
coffee hour if the plan is carried
out. Faculty from groups of de
partments, would be invited to
each coffee hour, and students
majoring in the departments in
vited for that week would be se
lected to attend.
Dean Ben Euwema, a guest at
the meeting 'gave several sugges
tions as to what the council could
do to help the LA school.
About 39 Million people, a quar
ter of the population of the U. S.,
live in or near the 12 biggest cities
of our country.

Trailer Home

A third semester mechanical

a new home for his wife and two
children today aft e r fire com
pletely destroyed his trailer in the
Hoover trailer camp in Woody
crest early yesterday morning.
The owner, Ronald Mohler, es
timated the loss of trailer and
personal belongings at $2OOO.
Mohler said he - believed the in
surance would cover the loss.
None of the personal possessions
were saved exc e p t those that
were worn from the trailer.
The fire, which awoke Mrs.
Mohler „a b out 1:15 a.m., was
started . liy - a bucket-a-day stove
in an enclosed porch attached to
the trailer. The flames were rang
ing out of •control when the Alpha
Fire Co. arrived.
Firemen said a line from the
tank , to the trailer's gas stove
broke and the gas was feeding the
flames with a blow-torch effect.
Other trailers in the camp, sev
eral within ten feet of the Mohler
trailer, were not damaged by the
flames.
I Mrs. Mohler and the, two chil
-1 dren were not injured by the fire.
Mohler received a burn on his
arm.
The Mohlers had only resided
in the trailer about two weeks.

Gibbs said this year's program
is an experiment to determine
which charities students desire to

Students . may contribute to all
Gibbs said, but faculty members
charities included in the drive,
may designate their contributions
only to PSCA, World University
Service, Penn State Student
Scholarship fund, and WSGA
Christmas fund.
Faculty members therefore will
not . be asked to contribute •to a
charity which also conducts a

Contributions will be made in,
cash only. Previously, students
could make cash donations or
pledge contributions. Pledges
could be paid with spring semes

collected before registration, stu
