One plan, not adopted, was to run all stu

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.

"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

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?

an explanation for her haste: "My

- A manufacturer of a one piece
bathing suit has a $lO.OOO suit
on his hands (law, not bathing).
Pretty Mrs. Patricia Muncy

at a Santa Monica pool in her

first, she was quite pleased at
all the attention, and then she
