vailablek at SU
Pledge cards and minor release forms for the Oct. 13-15 campus
blood drive may be picked up at the Student Union desk in , Old
Main or in the lobby of the West Dorm lounge, Marie Wagner,
student Red Cross committee chairman, has announced.
The Johnstown Red Cross Bloodmobile, which will set up facili
ties in Temporary Union Building for the drive, will be prepared
to handle 500 donations.
Pledge cards and release forms
are now being distributed to sor
orities, and fraternities have been
informed of the drive by mail,
Miss Wagner said.
Students between the ages of
18 and 21 are required to have
release forms signed by parents.
Forms must be turned in to 112
Old Main by the Monday dead
line'to allow for scheduling. Don
ors will be informed of their ap
pointments by mail.
When filling out pledge cards,
students should list at least two
times when they will be able to
give blood.
Students are asked not to sign
up for the morning of Oct. 14 be
cause the TUB has been reserved
for another function.
Women wishing to serve on the
canteen to serve refreshments, or
as hostesses to greet donors, may
sign up with Betty Buchannan
in 231. McElwain.
Donors are given an examina
tion before donating blood and
receive refreshments following
the donation. The entire process
takes approximately one hour for
each donor.
Blood may be given from
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
Of ME Student
A third semester mechanical
engineering major is looking for
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
support. -
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
drive in the borough; Gibbs ex
plained.
Contributions will be made in,
cash only. Previously, students
could make cash donations or
pledge contributions. Pledges
could be paid with spring semes
ter fees. Because fees are now
collected before registration, stu
dents may not make pledges. -.

The choir, brought to the

A third-string quarterback named
Witherspoon had a Laudable Ambition.
He wanted to be first-string quarter
back. Particularly to / start the opening
game under the Admiring Eyes of his
Number One Girl. Unfortunately the
coach was a Hard Man to Convince.
So our hero,, undismayed, uncorked a
Master Plan.
Two weeks before the opening game,
the coach got a Telegram. Message—
" Ten reasons why Witherspoon shOuld

Witherspoon is resourceful. Witness,
