PAGE EIGHT Blood Short GEORGE SEELY, freshman in aeronautical engineering from Hollidaysburg, prepares to give blood to the student blood drive. Swabbing Seely's arm is a nurse from the Johns town bloodmobile unit. Tukey Estimates 300 Walk-ins Needed for 900-pint Goal One hundred forty students, slightly less than half the number expected, gave blood yesterday in the opening day of the student blood drive. Loren Tukey, blood program chairman of the State Col lege chapter, estimated that 300 walk-ins will be needed today and tomorrow if the drive is to reach its 900-pint goal. Of the 222 students scheduled to donate blood yesterday 107 failed to keep their apppintments, and an additional seven were re jected for physical reasons or be cause they failed to bring their minor release form. Walk-ins. Give 32 Pints Thirty-two pints of blood were given by walk-ins yesterday. Al though this figure was consider ably lower than the anticipated number, the main reason for the low first-day total was the num ber of broken appointments. Jean Yemm, chairman of the campus Red Cross unit, stated that students who broke their ap pointments yesterday should make their contribution today or tomorrow. 280 to Donate Today According to the schedule re leased by the committee, 280 stu dents will give blood today. Re freshments will be served by members of Delta Delta Delta. Students should not eat starchy or fatty foods immediately before giving blood, but a normal diet may be resumed after the dona tion is made. The giving of blood will not lower resistance to dis ease, nor cause any noticeable effects. Red Cross blood is allocated to the armed forces, community hos pitals, processing laboratories un der contract to the Department of Defense, and emergency reserve centers. Donors Receive Pins Donors will be given a record of their blood type, RH factor, and a blood drop pin. Blood donations are supervised by two technicians and five nur ses from Johnstown, and two University doctors. Headquarters for the drive is the card and television room of the HUB. The drive is sponsored by the Red Cross campus unit in connection with the Johnstown Regional Blood Center. Directories on Sale At BX, Willard, Stores The Student Directory is still on sale at the Book Exchange, the Office of the Recorder in Willard Hall, and at State College book stores.

Committee Cancels Meeting The meeting of the Newman Club publicity committee sched uled for 7 tonight in 104 Willard has been cancelled. Student Directory Is a Time Problem By SUE CONKLIN Speed is the by-word when it comes to producing the Stu dent Directory each year. In fact, it takes two men only about six weeks to edit and publish the book. Woodrow W. Bierly, news as sistant in the department of Pub lie Information and Robert M. Ko 'ger, Jr., assistant registrar, are the two men responsible for issuing the directory. The directory is compiled from the IBM cards that each student fills out at registration. The reg istrar's office, under Koser, Corn 'piles the information and turns it over to Bierly and the Depart ment of Public Information, Where the actual editing is done. The directory, in its present 'form, has been published for about 30 years, according to Ko ser. Before that time, students' names were listed in a section of the University catalog.

Donovan. HUB manager. Eight Pitt students and sev eral administrative officials toured the HUB Thursday. Donovan explained that the western Pennsylvania univer sity plans to build a new stu dent union building and sent representatives to campus for ideas from the HUB. ',•!`",e.7•5'1 ••••• ' , Donovan said they seemed "greatly impressed" with the Lion Party— (Continued from page two) which Campus party chooses to overlook," and that the Lion party "is sorry that Campus party does not have faith in student govern ment." Claims 'Defensive' Campaign ,Nurock claimed that Campus party is conducting a "defensive" campaign, He explained that he meant that the party was tearing down Lion party's platform be cause "they (Campus party) do not have two feet to stand upon." Robert- Spadaro, junior in the Division of Intermediate Registra tion from Philadelphia, said that in the revised resolution "we have not attacked them (Campus par ty) in any way. We are just ex plaining our position." Spadaro Makes Accusation Spadaro—who said he thought the original version was "true," but objected to the party making "the first blast"—also accused Campus party of going over the $l5O limit for campaign expendi tures as set down by Elections Committee. "Some members of the Lion party steering committee said that Campus party's stand on freshman veterans' cars is 'a slur on student government.' This is not true," Allen Davies, Campus clique chairman, and Harold Dean,. vice clique chairman, said in a joint statement last night. 'Believes in Student Government' The statement goes on to say that "Campus party believes in student government, but realizes its limitations. When the Univer sity itself cannot do anything con cerning the parking problem, how can student government?" It further states: "We are not tearing down the Lion party's platform: we •are just trying to build a strong student govern ment, which cannot be done by making rash promises." Campus Answers" Spadaro Davies and.. Dean said that the "total expenditures of Campus party thus far are $119." They also said 'that their party stated at the beginning of the campaign it would do .nothing to hurt student. government. They said "the only slurs, on student government were made Sunday by certainA.Lion party directory c o m p a r es favorabl • with other schools. Koser said. He added that many large uni versities do not include al; much information in their directories as the University does. 12.500 Sludsnts Listed This year over 12,500 students are listed in the directory: Over 1000 changes in the information for the directory were made dur ing the first two weeks after reg istration, according to Bierly. Bierly explained that the regis trar's office handles the sale of directories and that the Depart ment of Public Information types the copy, designs the cover, and makes corrections. Information for the directory is gathered from the registration card labeled "news bureau." Cards Alphabstisod After registration the cards are machine alphabetized within 24 hours. Eleven persons are hired to type the information to be sent to the printers. ' Working in day and night shifts they complete the job in about a Ancient Specimens Collected by Matson Fifty-six carbon samples from ancient firepits and cave dwellings were collected by Dr. Frederick R. Matson, profes sor of achaeology and a radio-carbon specialist, during an ex pedition in the Arab states last year. These samples, collected from excavations in Jarmo, the earliest village site known to man, and other sites along the fertile crescent are expected to ' throw some light on the civilized life of primitive man. A team of 16 scientists, includ ing a botanist ? anthropologist, geologist, zoologist, and research ers in other fields, unearthed ma terial in Iraq on early man's phy sical environment More detailed knowledge of conditions at the time the vil lage existed must await analy sis of the thousands of sped men's collected. But the general evidence indicates that the cli mate and environment were not greatly different in 4500-5000 B.C. than they are now. Matson estimates that the test ing of the carbon samples will take between five and ten yearl. Among the sources of carbon were charcoal from ancient fire pits, wood, textiles, shells, charred bones, and ashes of burned or ganic matter. The carbon, he explained. has to be collected under carefully controlled conditions and must not be contaminated by other materials. Under a new method devised by American scientists, the age of a specimen can be accurately determined by mea suring. the amount of radio-ac tive carbon in it. By this process a reliable chronology of man's early settle ments in Western Asia is expect ed to be established. The expedition sailed to the Near East in • August, 1954,' and assembled at Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. From Beirut they drove to Damascus and began a 28-hour desert trip to Bagdad, where they stayed for one 'week. In the fall the group surveyed the terraces above the• Greater Zab River in northern Iraq. looking for stone tools. pottliry fragments, and other surface material. During November and December three small 10-day excavations were made. These were the first "digs." In December they found and reported the village of M'Laffat, which probably dates back to 5000 B.C. This village will be used as the basis for a later excava tion. Diggings were also made in three caves. Samples .of the material will be put on display in one of the IshowCases in the lobby of Sparks Building. Matson spent the winter tour ing Lhe , Arab states and visiting . many of the famous archaeolog ical sites along the Turkish. border, and in Syria. Jordan. Jerutalern. Lebanon. and Egypt. During this time he did some field work south of Bethlehem steering committee members. In conducting the campaign, Campus party has made an honest attempt to keep it clean and will continue to do so." week. They also read the' returned proofs for mistakes and., make changes in them. Can Blood Publication Bierly said students could speed up the publication of the directory by reporting changes of address, knowing their curricu lum and phone numbers, and fill ing out the card. He compared the typists to detectives as .they at tempted to decipher wrong num bers and addresses. All alphabetizing for the direc tory was done by hand until thre years ago, Bierly said. Temporary Dir•clory The temporary Student Direc tory was first distributed in 1953, Koser said. Bierly explained that at present 250 • copies of the tem porary directory are distributed about two weeks after registra tion for offices at the University. The cover of the Student Di rectory was designed this year by Mrs. Zenda B. Fahrenbach, assis tant publications production man ager. Over 6500 copies were .printed. NOVEMBER s, 1955 By EVIE ONSA near the Dead Sea. Stone lam, pies were collected from exca vations made previously by the French. 1 • In March the expedition went back to Jarmo for "the big dig" and excavated for 3 1 / 2 months. while living in tents. The inhabi tants of Jarmo apparently had enough leisure for the time-con suming task of shaping marble into bowls with stone tools. "Pottery fragments," Matson said, "are the most lasting and important clues to man's early technological growth. It is an in dication of man's gradual pro cess in controlling his own en vironment." Mrs. Matsop. who accompan ied her husband, taught sociol alat the Beirut College for men during the 1955 spring term. She is an instructor in sociology at the University. Matson came to the University in 1944 and served for five years as a professor of ceramics in the College of Mineral Industries be fore taking his present position. CLASSIFIEDS BIG BROWN teddy bear.
