"AGE FOUR Editorial 0 sinio Extended Library Hours Students will need a lot of studying loom in the next 2 1 / 2 weeks and one place it should be supplied is the Pattee Library. The increase in studiers calls for an extension of the library closing hours. Ralph McComb, University librarian, complied to some extent with an All-University Cabinet request to extend hours last semester. Cabinet asked for a midnight closing time, but McComb granted only an 11 p.m. exten sion. About 250 students can be accommodated in the four first floor rooms which remained open during the extra hour. This is a small amount of space compared to what is needed. But it did help. Nicemnb said the extended hours create a big person nel problem. He said only a few employees were willing to work the extra time since many had final examinations to study for themselves. Others just did not want to work later than 10 p.m. McComb said yesterday that this problem still exists and no decision has been made concerning later hours for this semester. The library should serve the needs of the student body. Overcrowded conditions during the final examine. lion period is evidence that there is a need for later hours. Although the personnel problem 'Cannot be ignored, a special effort should be made to accommodate the later hour studiers. A skeleton staff was in charge during last semester's finals; this should be done. again. Influential Discussions The 90 some students to be chosen within the next several days to attend Student Encampment in September will have a lot to say about the future of student govern ment and the University expansion. Two of the main topics for Encampment will be "Effects o? the 'University Expansion on the Student Body" and "Responsibilities of the New Student Government Association." Also related to the expansion topic will be discussions on off-campus living. A big responsibility rests with the six workshop chair men. They must create good discussion topics to make Encampment the success it has been in recent years.

PENNSYLVANIA GEORGE McTURK Business Manager Letters Reader Backs WUS Drive TO THE EDITOR: This is the second annual Prof. Snarf con test which will end on Friday. The proceeds have been allocated to the World University Service. What is this organization and what would they do with the money to be collected from the contest and the fund-raising drive? WIJS is an international or ganization which began as a European Relief Agency for stu dents in 1919; it now has, branch es in 43 countries. Its main ob jective is to help students all over the world to help themselves. • This is primarily a mutual as sistance program. The basic be lief underlying such a program is that the leaders of the world of tomorrow are on the campuses today. By guaranteeing them a better and sounder education we would be doing our part to ensure a better future—not only for our selves but for generations after us. It's very easy for those , of us who are lucky to be studying in a university lik:c Penn State, where the slogan "You Can Get It At Metzgers" is very popular, to forget that our colleagues in other lands do not have the same opportunities. In the first place, they are a minority with a heavy responsi bility of leadership. They cannot adequately meet this challenge of leadership if they have to strug gle with disease and hunger as well as a lack of textbooks. In Indont.sia where the students are verb anxious to study and take their places in their society, the lack of textbooks is a great handicap. In southeast Asia, there are hundreds of students suffering from tuberculosis. Their governments cannot afford to build enough TB sanitariums to take care of the students. Can you imagine yourself trying to study and at the same time suffering from TB? A third need is housing. We do grumble about the housing conditions here and we tend to be very choosy but we have to remember that we are far better off than thousands of students in other lands who live under very poor conditions. Another important need is for scholarship aid. In the Union of South Africa, there is only one university that admits Africans to their medical , school. These students need help and the stu dents in that university have taken it upon themselves to get up a fund to help the Africans —the majority of the students in this university are white. They can't do as much as they would like to do they need outside help. The World University Service has taken upon itself to help the students in these areas and many more. It sends mimeograph machines to student groups, pro vides textbooks, builds TB sani tariums and hostels for the stu dents as well as provides funds to support the scholarship aid in the University. of Waterland (S. Africa). WUS does not have any spe cific budget except that collected by students on their campuses through campaigns such as the one going on now at Penn State. It is our duty and obligation that WUS carries on the program of student self-help. Support the drive by voting for Professor Snarf or contributing individually to the drive. In the U.S., WUS is sponsored by the following organizations: National Newman Club Federation, National Student Association, United Student Christian Coun cil, B'nai B'rith Hillel Founda tions. Vote in the Professor "Snarl' Contest and help educate the leaders of tomorrow. WUS committeeman —Jacob Dentu, '6O HOSPITAL Charles Antalosky, William Barnett. Al bert Bailey.

It'sa Not'a Spagett! Why do they always serve spaghetti at fraternity sorority mixer dinners? And why is it that banquets always manage to have chicken—either fried or roasted— as the principal bill of fare? We're in favor of a change.

It makes eating spaghetti as easy as reeling in fish. The only cure to the sauce Splashing menace now is to tut the spaghetti before trying to spear it with your fork. Even this has its drawbacks. The Italian delicacy takes on the appearance of the Chinese staple and it's still as hard to eat. And besides that, eating cutup spaghetti certainly is far from being in the vogue. It's like eating corn-on-the rob after cutting it off the cob. Then there's fried chicken that always manages to turn up at the low-overhead ban quets. For this encounter one is always dressed to kill, and stuffed into the banquet table like a sardine. We must admit, however, that fried chicken presents more ,of a challenge as far as getting messed up goes. Now, not only is it possible to mess up ones own cuffs and shirt, but with good, aim and a lit tle bit of luck one can splatter the person to his right and left.
