Am Opportunity
Making an effort to continue full-time activi
ties during the Summer semester, the Penn State
Club has begun an extensive campaign to enroll
•upperclass members.
The Club, on the basis of benefit offered to the
non-fraternity man, has been tremendously suc
cessful 'during the past several years. In men
tioning a few of its assets, one cannot overlook
the large social room in Old Main, where Club
members can enjoy most of the privileges and
opportunities offered'by any fraternity.
Recognized as the most active independent
linen’s organization, the Club has justified its
standing by making several commendable con
tributions each year. First of all, the dancing
classes have always been of definite aid to a num
ber of students who could not dance and who.
wanted an inexpensive, yet very effective, means
of learning to dance.'
Each 'Spring, the Club has made an award to
the outstanding non-fraternity senior—bestowing
that honor on Gerald F. Doherty ’42, All-College
vice-president, last year.
"Now, with the drop in College enrollment, the
Club is threatened with a serious decrease in
membership. Of course, the influx of freshmen
within the next two weeks will provide a defin
ite booster for the organization; but still every
non-fraternity upperclassman should seriously
consider the thought of joining the Club. •
As present members say, “Just drop around to
illie club room and be convinced for yourself.”
Cooperation, Please
Looking ahead with our typical optimism and
faith in human nature we yesterday advanced
the tentative plans for “Victory Weekend,” a gala
weekend of entertainment and relaxation. To
day we find the original promoters of the plan
Btill eager to carry out their proposal. However,
we also find that a big obstacle has been placed
before them. Non-cooperation by an organiza
tion supposedly composed of select campus lead
ers may be responsible for the downfall of a
really fine and sincere undertaking.
It is hoped that reconsideration by the group
■will result hi complete agreement with the tre
mendous undertaking which will cpmbine a big
dance, a carnival, a Thespian show, a fraternity
stunt circus, and a second night smaller-scale
dance.
As previously announced, the proposed recrea
tional promotion is scheduled, for July. Although
misinterpreted so by some, the gigantic program
i? not synonymous with Soph Hop which will
be held on July 10. The two weekends will be
sepai-ate and will in no way conflict with each
other.
With this clarification plainly made and with
the primary interest in “Victory Weekend” still
strong enough to make it a success, the only
drawback lies in the action or' rather in 'the in
action of the blocking organization.
Justifying An Action
Several people on campus, who thought that
white-wash advertising had been definitely ban
ned, have now called Collegian on the carpet for
rising such signs on College sidewalks.
White-wash advertising is permitted—only if
All-College Cabinet sanctions it—with further
reservations that both discrimination in locating
gns and neatness of painting are taken into
illvj si.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Through The
Needles Eye
We’ve been perched on the camel’s front hump
this week, while Vulcan has been making armor
plate to protect us from the other columnists on
this paper. Ferdy, our whimsical young inch
who wants to take a mile alll the. time, has been
checking on our comments about Mortar Board.
Campy condescended to swipe a joke we used on
Good Friday. Not that it’s really such a bad
one, you understand, but once a year is enough.
And in the meanwhile we’ve been looking at this
Summer semester of ours.
Most important, because of the need for imme
diate action, we saw The Daily Collegian threat
ened with dissolution. We saw kids who have
spent three hard years “making out” in one of
the toughest eliminations on campus, see not only
their very organization about to crumble, but also
the loss of the cash which to most meant rent,
food and fees and still decide to do their utmost
for their school. Then we looked where the
needle pointed and saw a sign that said:
It’s up lo you!
The camel nudged us and we saw Mars chuck
ling over by the Golden Gate, to make us remem
ber that this Summer semester is Penn State's
major contribution to the war effort. Doolittle
“dood it” over Tokyo, and then we had to go to
class to care for our cranium for our country
On the classroom door was a sign which said:
It's up lo you!
Then we read Gordon Coy’s editorial in this
newspaper yesterday which said that there were
people on this campus who wanted to have a big
weekend for a number of purposes: to give recrea
tion to those who are in Penn State’s War Semes
ter; to provide a means whereby every student
in the College could make a defense contribution,
physical or financial, to help this campus and
this country.
We envisioned ai tremendous undertaking, in
volving all the campus organizations: • the Blue
Band, as well as Mortar Board. IFC and Panhei,
IMA and IWA—every organized group on cam
pus can offer something when a democracy de-,
cides to join hands for its own good. There’s
something to think about: a carnival, dances,
music, dramatics, entertainment of every kind,
laughter and relaxation, as well as a contribution
to your country. It can be done. You, the Ail-
College Cabinet, freshman and senior, every last
man and woman could do it.
li's up io YOU!
