This may have had disastrous effects for upperclassmen. Campus Chest Wins Its Fight for Life Campus Chest has won its fight for life. The introduction of three experiments in this year's chest drive proved successful, and provided Campus Chest with the necessary impetus to continue in the future. The three experiments: 1. Cutting the chest drive to three days. Thi: freed students from an almost year-long plea for funds which was sometimes worse than pleas of all organizations the chest combines. 2. Creation of a designation system. This al lowed students to give money to member or ganizations they preferred. For those without preference, a percentage system was set up. This experiment was surprisingly successful. Students showed strong support for Penn State Christian Association; contrary- to predictions of some. Strong support was also given to the Penn State Student Scholarship fund. World University Service received in undesignated funds what it lacked in designated funds. 3. The drive goal was 100 per cent participa tion, rather than a set sum of money as before. This introduced a bit of competition among cam pus groups which helped put the drive over. Under the new system, chest totals were over $B7OO, or more than $9OO above last year's in come. Continued development of this year's ex periments may some day allow the chest to reach its goal of $lO,OOO. Fifty five per cent of the student body and 51 per cent of the faculty contributed to this year's drive. This amounted to $1.03 per stu- Appeal Proposal: Worthy of Thought When All-Colege Cabinet reconsiders the tabled motion which called for appeals on group disciplinary cases to go before a committee named by the Senate committee on student affairs, there are several points worthy of con sideration. Originally, cabinet forwarded a recommen dation formulated by its judicial re-organization committee requesting the Senate subcommittee on social affairs act as the court of appeals on group cases. The student affairs committee returned a sub stitute proposal, suggesting a committee con sisting of the chairman of the student affairs committee, the director of student affairs, the dean of men, the dean of women, the president of the Women's Student Government Associ ation or the president of the men's student gov ernment organization depending upon the group being tried, the chairman of Judicial or Tri bunal, the presidents of the Association of In dependent Men, Interfraternity Council, Leo nides, and Panhellenic Council, again depending upon the case being heard.

The other unadopted plan, although accept able, was not necessary. It involved running students through registration by class stand ing, with seniors first. The present system al lows registration of juniors and seniors at the same ,time. Scheduling conflicts under the pres ent system do not seem sufficient to warrant a change to registration by class. This most recent modification in registration procedure may be the last in a series that have brought registration from complete confusion to organized operation.. Elimination of boards of control, introduction of class cards, and use of centralized procedure have brought registration a long way since 1951—when it almost drove students crazy. dent contributor, or 58 cents per student. Slightly over half of the student contributors designated their money. This indicates one of the prime faults in the old system—lack of op portunity to select groups to which to con tribute—has been overcome. Campus Chest this year collected in three days what it took three months to collect last year. And the three experiments went a long way in providing that improvement. Experiments in the chest program cannot stop now. New measures are needed in many of the student operations on this campus. The chest drive has shown that new ideas are often better than traditional ones. The chest cannot stop here. And every campus organization may learn a lesson from these three. experiments. Safety Valve Approves WDFM Hours TO THE EDITOR: I seem to be a small minority, but I like very much (radio station WDFM's) broadcasting time, " choice of programs, an nouncers, lack of commercial advertising, and the whole set-up in general. We have missed only a half hour of your total broadcasts so far. Congratulations on a fine start, and best wishes for continued success and growth. Therefore, the recommendation of the Senate committee provides for four faculty-administra tion personnel and three students to 'hear ap peals. The appeals group originally requested by 7abin.et—the subcommittee on social affairs L—has en members, four of whom are students—the ?residents of AIM, IFC, Panhel, and Leonides. It would be reasonable to assume, then, that only one of four students on the subcommittee would be able to sit in on an appealed case, depending upon the group involved. If that would be the case, then there 'would be only one student on the appeals court. Representation is not the only point involved. There is also the matter of having a most re sponsible decision thrust upon a highly respon sible group. Although the social affairs sub committee has shown itself to be a responsible group, the committee recommended to cabinet has members with even greater responsibility. The responsibility desired of a court of appeals can never be too great. Gazette . .

Schueltz INFIRMARY PLACEMENT SERVICE "We'd like to take you upstairs and show you the real graciousness of fraternity life, but it's sort of a rule around here to wait until th' rushee is pledged." From time to time, whenever we clean out the drawers of the wire desk, this column endeavors to note the insignificant little items sent over the Associated Press wire. So, here's starting 1954 by making fun of 1953. • The sport of hunting had a few odd turns. Quite often a hunter trudges for hours through the woods without bagging a thing. But, in Memphis, Mich., a barber was working in his shop when a cock pheasant flew into town to escape hunters, and flew into a bar in the window of the barber shop. That's hunting the easy way We sympathize with the hus band involved in the follow ing event in South Carolina. Clyde DeLoach and friends went deer hunting. Before leav ing, they told Mrs. DeLoach to , be all set to cook a venison din ner. Many hours later the hunt ers returned empty handed, but Mrs. DeLoach had venison on the stove. While the men were out hunt ing she bagged a deer in her own back yard. Hunting - dogs had driven it there and she k i ed . the exhausted animal with a blow on the head with a piece , of firewood. Thirty miles a - .vay in Lewis town, a general store proprietor for three weeks prior to opening day advertised he would dress deer for $1 each and buy the hide. At 7:15 a.m. of opening day' the phone rang and a hunter asked how soon he could bring in his deer. The phone rang all day, and other hunters, drove, directly to the store. However, no deer were dressed at the store that day. The owner was out hunting one himself. He came home empty handed.' Out in Topeka, Kan., they must really work hard. Three painters busy touching up out side window frames on the sec ond floor of the Topeka State Journal office failed to notice a bold thief who made off with their 32-foot extension ladder and 150 feet of three-quarter inch rope. The painters had to climb through one of the sec ond story windows to get down. Shall we say they were sleep ing on the job, or really digging in? —Dick Rau A woman rushed into the Ann Arbor, Mich., police traffic bur eau, paid off three parking tickets, and dashed out, leaving behind a rather confused clerk. She tossed an explanation for her haste: "My car is parked in a 'no parking' zone.". The sheriff of Bloomington, hid., ran into a "big" problem. Someone stole a 25-ton bulldozer from a.nearby.quarry: The sheriff WIRE AND WIRELESS The Big Story By BILL JOST traced the machine to Indiana polis, 49 miles away, and then lost the trail. The•thief may have tucked it under his coat. - A manufacturer of a one piece bathing suit has a $lO.OOO suit on his hands (law, not bathing). Pretty Mrs. Patricia Muncy attracted considerable attention at a Santa Monica pool in her new one piece bathing suit. At first, she was quite pleased at all the attention, and then she looked at the new suit In her court action, she claims it "be came transparent and pervimis to. light." And furthermore, she was exposed to public gaze and ridicule, and suffered extreme embarrassment and shock,. ac cording to her lawyer. Then there are people in glass houses. In Springfield, 111., Guy. Moore bought a case of cold beer. -Ar riving home, he found among the bottles a canvas bag containing $304 in cold cash. The storekeeper explained he had placed the, money 'in the beer refrigerator for safe keeping.
