Special plans for a five-star
"Three-Way Victory Weekend"
were drawn up at last night's All-
College Cabinet meeting with. a
four man committee from the Cab
inet selected to supervise the ben
efit weekend.
Main purpose of the "Victory
Weekend" is to provide funds for
scholarships for needy seniors
during the December to August
College terms next year.
Although no definite date has
been set for the benefit, the Cab
inet has requested the Forestry
Society to consider the possibility
of merging their dance with the
All-College affair on August 1.
Besides the All-College dance,
the plans call for a mammoth car
nival on Old Main lawn and a mu
sical show using the combined tal
ents of the Thespians, Players, and.
Glee Club for two performances
over the weekend.
Admission will be charged at
every event, with special tickets
provided for the carnival booths.
Members of the committee who
will assist Leon Rabinowitz '43,
originator of the plan, with the
details of the affair are David- J.
McAleer, Bernard A. Plesser, Jesse
V. Fardella, and Richard S. Kurtz,
all seniors.
