The fraternity was founded in New York City On the Kick-off Dance This year's Campus Chest fund will attempt to get off to a flying start tonight at Recreation Hall with the annual Kick-off Dance. And it will do just that if everyone pitches in and does his pari to help. The dance will provide a lot of fun and good music for all attending. But besides the fun, those attending will share in the knowledge that they are aiding a worthy cause, in fact, many worthy causes. The Campus Chest, which conducts a year long campaign, combines into one drive cam paigns for funds to go to the Salvation Army, the University Christian Association, and the World Student Service Fund—to mention only a'few. Admission to the dance is 50 cents, and tickets are being sold at the Student Union desk in Old Main, at various points about the campus, and will be sold at the door. Profits will go into the Campus Chest fund. This is the first major event planned for the purpose of raising money for the fund, and also the first big dance of the year. And with the obvious enthusiasm and spirit so far displayed by the freshman class, this year’s net gain could easily surpass the $1050.18 collected by the dance last year. It’s a guaranteed good time, and for a cause worthy of the contribution of every Penn Stater. —AI Klimcke The whole trouble is that we won’t let God help us.—George MacDonald These is no darkness but ignorance. —Shakespeare UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Raymond Ellison, Suzanne Hunter, William Kern, Sarah Miller, Margaret Ross, Mary Ross, and John.

Safety Valve— Criticizes Spirit TO THE EDITOR: I believe that Wednesday night's "pep rally" was one of the saddest exhibitions of school spirit that I have ever witnessed at Penn State. We upperclassmen did a very fine job of killing the enthusiasm of the freshmen who were attending their first college rally. The freshmen' were in fine spirits when they arrived, but the vast majority left wondering if this was an example of.the Penn State spirit we talked about during Orientation Week and in relation to the customs program. I personally was ashamed of having gone through Nittany dorfns urging the frosh oiit to send off the team and I now wonder how many of these new stu dents will turn out for future events of this nature. I do not put the entire blame on the group sponsoring the. rally, but also believe that the group for which the event was held was very negligent in its responsibility to the student body. In the future let’s have the cooperation between the sponsoring group and the athletic team involved and stage a rally that is becom ing to a great university of this size, whose athletic teams perform so well. I sincerely urge the freshman class io over look Wednesday's farce and give Ihe upper classmen, the rally sponsoring groups, and ihe teams themselves a chance to show you real Penn State spirit at all future rallies, —Dick Favro President, Business Administration Student Council HOME AIR FORCE DEPOT will visit the campus Oct. 7 to interview January graduates in EE, and Physics; M.S. candidates in EE who have completed at least one semes ter ; and PhD candidates in EE expecting to receive their degrees in 1955.

The Wilderness After reading one of Poe’s short stories about somebody drinking amontillado 'and ending up being sealed iri a wall, we became very interested in dead bodies. \ Upon returning to the University, we decided to go over to Frear Lab and visit the anatomical laboratory there, having heard that several very interesting corpses were staying there. , Entering the building we met -.Harrison M. Tietz who goes un der the challenging title of pro fessor of anatomy and physiol ogy. Explaining our purpose, Tietz explained that the Univer sity had hot received any new bodies since 1937.' Seeing our look of amazement, he added regretfully’ that there was a shortage of cadavers in Penn sylvania. “Bodies are obtained only through the Anatomical Board of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and we can’t go outside the state. It’s not like the old days when bodies were a dime a doz en.” When asked about this shortage of corpses, Tietz explained that with old age pensions, there is a provision that the dead will be buried at public expense. “The medical schools can get almost all the bodies they want,” continued Tietz with a note of envy in his voice. “They could easily send us at least one body a year, but they don’t. I guess they are jealous of anyone else handling them.” Proceeding down io the ana tomical laboratory, or as it is affectionately called among FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1954 By Bibler By EDMUND REISS pre-med students, "the icebox," Tietz gave us some background information on the cadavers. .The late Hugo Bezdek, former Penn State football coach and later manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, first suggested using hu man bodies for students to work on. He wanted qprpses in order to give physical education majors a chance to “get at the real thing.” Later pressure from the pre-meds increased the need for more corpses. “Sometimes,” added Tietz with a faraway look in his eyes, “we would get up to ten new bodies a year. Nbw we can’t get any.” Hoping to perhaps solve his problem, we naively mentioned that perhaps cadavers could be willed to the school.
