". S. c. STUDENTS
TO Do FARM WORK
Faculty Votes to Grant Degrees TO
seniors and Grades to Underclass
Men Who Are Needed at
Home i'm Agricultural
Pursuits

The student body of the State Col
lege will be almost depleted, if need
be, to assist in carrying out the food
preparedness program, which in
cludes maximum production and
minimum waste. At a meeting of the
college faculty held last week
further steps were taken toward
lending every assistance to the cause
OF food conservation and agricultural
! preparedness when the faculty decid-
/ ed to recon mend for graduation at
once all students of the Senior class
who are needed at home in any class
of agricultural work, and to grant
grades for the present years work to
all other students who are needed at
home for farm work The action of
the faculty stipulates, however, that
all students recommended for gradu-
alton at the present time or before
the close of the school year must
have made good grades up to this
| time, and must also show that their
services are needed to assist in the
| farming work of the state. The
same condition applies to the under
class men. and in some cases certain
work may be required of them to
complete the years scholastic work,
| this work to be made up following
the harvest season.
This action on the part of the
| faculty. following closely action to
grant degrees to all Senior students
| in agriculture and allied subjects
who engage in boys and girls club
wo and community agricultural
work, is the outcome of numerous
urgent requests from farmers
throughout the state. who are asking
| that their sons be permitted to re-
turn home at once TO assist in getting
the crops into the ground. This at
| titude on the part of the farmers is
evidence of their eagerness to re-
spond to the call of the nation for a
miximum production of all farm
crops.
The State College is in direct touch
with the United States Department of
| Agriculture and is also cooperating
with F. E. Benson. state commission
er of agriculture, anxious TO take
every step that will tend toward the
conservation of the food supply and
the increase of the output of agricul-
tural products.
President e. o. Holland is in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Senator
Gore, chairman of the agricultural
| comm ittee of the United States SEN
ate, asking what the State College
can do to increase agricultural
products in the Northwest and what
assistance is needed of the govern
ment in facilitating the work. Con-
ferences of the agricultural depart
ments are being held almost daily to
discuss the situation and to make
definite plans for a comprehensive
program of activities. President Hol-
land is also in touch with President
Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege.. The two heads of the North
vests greatest agricultural institu-
tons to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent In making possible q better
showing In the Northwest than any
other section.

GIVE WASTE PAPER
TO HELP BElGIAMs
The Women OF the United Presby.
terrain Church Have Arranged
for Collection of Old Paper
May 10

The women OF the United Presby-
! terrain church have undertaken
waste paper campaign in behalf OF
| the Belgians, The amount received
in each home would be comparative
ly small but collectively we can ac-
complish much. When we think that
$l2 will keep child from starvation
ought not we to be willing to do the
small amount of work necessary to
save our papers and magazines and
send them to the Presbyterian
church on the morning of May 10.
AS Agnes Repplier says in the March
Atlantic Monthly: "The children of
Belgium share the martyrdom OF
their parents. They are like the
young boys and girls baptized in
water and in blood. who stood with
the early Christians in the arena be-
! fore the callous eyes of Rome. They
are feeble with privation and sad
with premature grief. Pope Benedict
has begged the children of the Unit
ed States to keep alive a million and
u half of these little unfortunates by
late and larded biscuit once a day.
1t is not too much to ask of pros
porous America, which has thriyen
on the calamities of Europe; but the
asking is a revelation of shame"
Has Pullman done her share?
May we not use this opportunity
to help these little ones. and may not
some feel the call to give additional
amounts unsolicited that our gift
may be worthy of our city?
Papers and magazines should be
piled and tied securely so they can
be easily handled and weighed. The
following centers have been estab-
lished and all persons having contri-
buttons are requested II possible, to
take them to one of these centers on
Saturday morning, May 10. or direct
to the Presbyterian church Those

When a Person Faints.

The act Of what we call fainting,
which often accompanies the receipt of
good or bad news, is caused by sud-
den contraction of the blood vessels,
stopping the flow of blood to the brain.
When the contraction is not violent
enough to bring about fainting spell
the person so affected turns white and
feels suddenly weak. But when the
emotion is overwhelming the person
concerned falls down. That is natures
way of trying to adjust the trouble.
1t is much easier for the blood to flow
into the brain when person Is lying
down than when sitting or standing,
and the moment that the flow of the
vital fluid to the head becomes normal
the sufferer is restored.
