Fickle Students Pickle Campus Chest
You just can't tell about students. They are
unpredictable, inconsistent, and accused of
being illogical.
When the Jazz Club brought Max Kaminsky
here last semester in cooperation with the Cam
pus Chest the turn-out was fair, but after ex
penses were paid neither group had much to
show for all their work.
But then, when the Jazz Club brought Dave
Brubeck to Recreation Hall, even though there
was a previously scheduled dance in the newly
opened Hetzel Union Building, more than the
anticipated number of tickets were sold and the
Jazz Club made money.
This really shocked the conservatives who
predicted a loss for the Brubeck concert.
But you just can’t tell about students.
Students are not even consistently apathetic.
Upperclass sections were criticized for being
so quiet at the Boston University game last
Saturday, but over 2000 students turned out
for the pep rally Thursday night to send ih*
team off to West Point.
Another pleasant surprise.
It was only after a long hard fight that top
student leaders and campus workers _ were
given compensations. But last spring in the
midst of the busiest work season of the year

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
All-University Cabinet voted to compensate
only the All-University president, vice presi
dent and' secretary-treasurer.
So there you are.
Four or five years ago siudenls were de
luged with so many solicitors for charitable
purposes that the Campus Chest was estab
lished, almost in student-self-defense. It made
charitable giving easy and protected the stu
dent from an endless line of open-handed
donation seekers.
Again student reaction was strange.
Instead of appreciating the service Campus
Chest was rendering them by combining all
the fund-raising campaigns into one short
drive, they became indifferent and almost put
the Chest out of business last year by falling
short of the $7250 goal. Only $4160 was col
lected.
Solicitation will be from October 18 to 22.
If they follow the pattern their predecessors
have cut out for them they will be illogical
and not support the 1955-56 Campus Chest
campaign.
If they are inconsisent perhaps the campaign
will be a booming success.
But if they are unpredictable—you just can't
tell.
Oh Dem Bums
Don’t count out them Bums.
Once they get to Flatbush they’re tough.
The high-and-mighty gentlemen in the pin
stripe suits had that fact emphatically demon
strated to them yesterday when they haughtily
strolled into Dodgerland only to get their
haughty blochs knocked off.
The Brooks have never won a Series. But
anyone in Greenpernt will tell you this is the
year.
No team has never dropped the first two in
the classic and rallied to win. But the Dodgers
don’t pay no attention to past performance.
Don’t count out them Bums.

Grad Scholarship

the late Walter N. Brown Jr.
Brown, a director and research
consultant for Haller, Raymond,
and Brown, Inc., and also a re
search associate in applied physics
at the University, was drowned
on Sept. 12 in the Atlantic Ocean
at Long Br.anch, N.J.
The scholarship was established
earlier this year and provides an
annual stipend of $5OO for a col-'

By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
If there is any comfort at all to be extracted from the
President’s illness it lies in the vast amount of information
about the symptoms, causes and results of heart disease which
has spread among the people.
"Possibly excepting the spate following the announce*
ment of the Salk polio vaccine, no single scientific problem
has received such concentrated
attention from all media of in
formation since announcement
of the atom bomb in 1954.
It is possible that the Presi
dent’s illness will have an even
greater impact on the campaign
against '■ heart disease than did
that of President Roosevelt on
polio, because Eisenhower was
stricken while in office and Roos
evelt was not.
In that light, it is hard to un
derstand why the President’s
aides should be embarrassed' by
any efforts to utilize the wide
spread public interest in raising
money to fight the nation’s No.
1 killer.
The presidential office is one.
of course, which must be pro
tected from use for most pro
motional purposes and the aides
are probably right in wanting
to wait for nis own reaction on
the point. But Eisenhower has
so often expressed realisation
of the humanitarian aspects of
the presidency that his later ap
proval seems likely.
In this connection, also, one
cannot help but wonder whether
it is time for the /government
itself to start financing the re
search and promotion needed in
the battles against all major dis
eases, such as heart trouble and
cancer.
Would amply financed "crash"
programs do far more quickly
what the voluntary programs
have done for polio and tuber
culosis?
Experts disagree. One of the
possibilities is that there may not
be enough trained men to take
advantage of suddenly increased
research facilities.
Another possibility is that basic
information is not yet sufficient
on which to base such programs.
The crash program which
produced the atom bomb could
not have been conducted- in
1920 for this reason. It could
have been conducted in 1939.
It was not begun until four
years after that under the pres
sure of war. But Americans
would be unhappy if concen
trated attacks on any major
disease should be delayed after
the basic information is avail
able.
Any suggestion for government
support of such projects always
raises the fear that they would
advance the cause of socialism.

the authors and administrators of
such projects wish it to be true.
Inherently, the mass saving of
life is not more socialistic than
arrangements for its mass - de
struction.
