The band gave fine performances at each of the four home games, and at Penn and Pitt. •Not only has the band made a name for itself and the University,. but it has added much in the way of spirit and morale to the team and student body. The band did more than its normal job in ap pearances at pep rallies and playing durins the game. Remember: The Blue Band sitting in the snow at the Fordham game and playing "Jingle Bells." And, by the way, many who helped shovel snow from the field so the game could he played, were band members. There are those who refuse to praise the band. They are the people who fail to stop and think what the band means to the student body, and to Penn State. — Bill Josi' Today CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION, 6:45 p.m., 304 Old Main. ■ * COLLEGIAN ADVERTISING STAFF, 7 p.m., 102 Willard.

DIV.: The Infirmary Story Health Service By BEV DICKINSON An excess of 50,000 cases per year are treated by ■ the University Health Service in one of its two divisions, the Dispensary, located in the base ment of Old Main, or the In firmary, situated at the corner of Pollock and Shortlidge roads. From November to May, the Dispensary treats from 300 to 400 outpatients every day, in addition to the 50 to 75 students treated daily during the summer months. The average admission to the Infirmary in the past few years has been between 1200 to 1400 students each year.

Approximately 2000 x-rays are given by the Health Servi c e, per year, out of which, oh the basis of the findings of the x-rays, some 100 students are treated. In 1915 the Health Service was established at Penn State by President Edwin Earl Sparks, following a severe scar let fever' epidemic which caused the death of several students. The epidemic, plus the simultaneous establishment of several other health services in the country, stimulated Sparks in setting up a service that would be responsible to THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLBUS, VINCE DRAYNE, Business Mgr.

On Spring Week The Spring Week committee has taken a realistic approach to its point awards system this year with a reshuffling of point values. Too often in the past the Spring Week achievement trophy has gone to a group for merely winning the Spring Carnival. Granted, the carnival is the biggest single event in the week. But as participating groups came to rea lize the over-emphasis on the carnival, other events began to suffer. And winning the trophy, before. long, could, have become a malignant form of trophy-buying. But the committee has stopped this trend by halving the- carnival point values and in creasing the number of points possible for win ning the parade and other group events. This sh.ould give a big boost to the entire week. DALLAS,- TEX. will interview Jan.

Situated in an old dDrm pop ularly known as the “Devil’s Den,” previously located be tween the Armory and Electri cal Engineering, the Health Service had its start. A year later, Warren Forsythe became director of the service, moving it to what is now Beecher Cot tage, where the first floor was used as the Dispensary. On the second floor eight beds made up the Infirmary. Two nurses attended patients. "The Pesihouse" was set up at the edge of Hort Woods in 1919. where all patients with contagious diseases were cared for until their complete recovery.

It always seemed to me to be an illogical way to help the hungry Chinese, and I could now do without , some of the pounds for which the way was paved by this basic feeding program. This was, of course, long be fore the days of farm subsidies unless you count free seeds from congressmen, production quotas, little- pig - killings, third-row plough-ups and ever-normal gran ary programs. The two ideas have always been connected in my mind, how ever, and now are revived by the report of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organiza tion on continued imbalances in the world food situation and the simultaneous suggestion by farm ers of 27 countries for establish ment of a world food reserve. The FAO has been promoting a program io increase food pro duction faster than populations increase. It has been succeed ing. But it has developed that, as usual, "them as has- gits," and the gap between the. well fed and the poorly-fed has been widened. In the meantime, farm prices have fallen under the production increase. So the farmers represented by the International Federation of Agricultural Producers are pro posing that the FAO buy up farm surpluses, thus supporting farm prices and keeping a farm slump from setting off a world depres sion. A part of the idea is to have a reserve to meet emergencies. Underfed areas would be pro vided-with continued or increased technical aid to increase their ed for the patients, who were called on daily by a physi cian. Because of the complete lack of nurses or attending doctors, "The Pesihouse" was abandoned after four years. In 1918 Joseph P. Rittenhau er took over the directorship of the Health Service, holding that position .until 1947, when the present director, Herbert R. Glenn, headed the service. During these years, the Health Service progressed among the first five or six in the country.

ROBERTS Jr. Associated Press News Analyst ability to buy —at cut prices what they have not the resources to produce. . • The emphasis of the farmers, naturally, is on the stability of their own section of the economy. But the crux of the matter lies in this business of creating an abil ity to buy on the part of the un derfed. For the underfed are those who have little or nothing with which to trade. The British on their little island -learned about that when they had to turn to production of war goods of trade goods. A world food reserve-operat ing on_a charity or part-charity basis - is not ' the answer. The giving and taking of charity is a symbol of economic instability and inequality. Subsidies and donations are both' sweetsops to overcome the taste of bad economic manage ment, though perhaps -.necessary during a transition. The transition itself must be accomplished through things like Point Four and UN techni cal aid, which aim at. develop ment of stable markets within sound economies in areas which' so far have neither. - Proxy to Speak Dec. 8 President Milton S.
