Each_is oustanding in his field. Yet no one-- or - hot enough—at Penn State care to hear them. Some have placed poor forum response on lack of student representation. This has been overcome in the new forum set-up, -which in cludes three students on the program commit tee. Others have placed poor response to the pocketbook. Certainly $4.80 is not a prohibitive price for such a product. It is hard to understand why a college of Blood: What Happened to It? By, late yesterday afternoon, 395 students had signed up to pledge blood donations. The goal was, and still is, 500 pints—one pint per donor. To list more figures, there were about 1500 students involved in the West Dorm demonstra tion two weeks ago. There were 1700 student at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel last week. , Not all of the students attending either func lion were engaged in the malicious mischie called by some an expression of red-blooded youthful exuberance. However, at the West Dorm exhibition alone, there were undoubtedly more than 500 displaying evidence of posses sing a goodly quantity of blood. Even considering the kindly assumption tha many students of the more than 900 who re ceived minor release forms have gotten those forms signed and have just forgotten to re- turn them, it is still difficult to understand why only 900 or even 1000 of 11,000 students have bothered to pick up the necessary forms. Certainly with the ybuthful population of the College, it should be considered an insult that the blood drive goal is set for only 500 pints. Apparently it isn't. Today ARNOLD .

The Community Forum has been, and can be in the future, a prime source of intellectual de velopment. Penn State is certainly not beyond this development. But the College and its stu dents will lose one chance of such development if the forum dies. If for no other reason than to keep the forum alive, we must invest $4.80 in it this year. If it dies, another expression of culture will go from Penn State. This is an expression of culture we zorely, need. Although, tfie Korean police action is' ended. temporarily at least, the need for blood still exists. Not all the young men in the United States were fortunate enough to receive educa ional deferments. In the trade of blood for )rains, some men were short changed. For those who managed to conserve their )lood supply over the past two weeks, the op )ortunity to share that blood with someone who also likes to live will be present during the three days the Bloodmobile unit is here. Every one who wishes to and is able to walk in to donate blood will not be able to 'do ,so when aver he pleases. A strict schedule is needed to obtain the best possible efficiency without' over working the staff or leaving them with nothing to do. But walk-ins will be needed if Penn Rate is to meet its obligation. A little blood given this week may help to convince a few people that the idea of allowing some men to remain in the comparative com fort of Penn State classrooms may have its FROTH CIRCULATION STAFF, 7 p.m., 316 Willard.

Bans National Fraternities In a move aimed at ending discrimination in fraternities and sor orities, the State University of New York has ordered social organi zations to sever their national ties. The ruling applies only to state operated schools. Privately en lowed colleges are not affected Twenty-five national groups at • lie two state medical schools and -Line teacher-training colleges with a total enrollment' of 13,000 will be affected by the order. Eight thousand students at 11 other colleges are potentially af fected. At present, they are un affected because they do not have any national affiliated chapters on their campuses. The resolution, accepted by the Board of Trustees of New York's State University, declares no stu dent social organization would be permitted to exist on its camAouses if it had "any direct or inldirect affiliation or connection with any national or other • organization outside its particular institution." Trustees decreed that no organ ization should, in. policy or prac tice, "operate under any rule which bars students on account of race, color, religion, creed, na tional origin or other artificial criteria." Scholastic and religious organ izations are exempt from the rul ing. The order does not apply to state schools that are part of pri vately endowed Cornell and Al fred Universities.

This will allow groups time to work out financial problems arising from the change. Dr. William S. Carlson, presi dent of the State University, rec ommended the measure. Before its adoption he told the trustees of three• recent instances in which national organizations had - clashed with the admission of Negro and Jewish students. National representatives of these groups had tried to enforce "dis crimination in the' selection • of their members against the wishes of the State University students in the chapters," Carlson stated. In some cases, he said, the or ganization's action was contrary to statements in its own consti tution. At New York's 'Albany College for Teachers all 62 members of Kappa Delta Rho fraternity had resigned in protest against the national group'S policy. Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Sigma Alphg sororities were sus pended at Cortland State Teach ers College over the discrimina tion issue. These suspensions were not the result of last week's rul ing..
