New Name For Big Celebration
• Penn State's biggest weekend
of the Summer Semester has•' a
new name today; following ap
proval last night of a suggestion to
donate proceeds of the fun festival
to 'Army-Navy 'Relief.
After deciding on the disposi
tion of proceeds, executive com
mittee members making plans for
the . all-out holiday decided to
change its name from "Victory
Weekend" to "Army-Navy Relief
Weekend."
The new name was chosen, ac
cording to the executive group,
because it indicated more clearly
to students rtnd -"outsiders" alike
the exact purpose of the celebra
tion. The committee felt that oth
er colleges might follow Penn
State's lead in staging benefit
functions on a mass-production
scale. • •

STATE COLLEGE
Board Of Directors Appeals Case
To Committee On Student Welfare
Last night's brief All-College Cabinet meeting started
quietly but during the brief session a letter contesting the
power of Cabinet to order PSCA to have their funds handled
through the Associated Student Activities office and, also,
contesting the power of Cabinet to terminate PSCA's partici
pation on the Cabinet was presented by Gerald B. M. Stein
'44, secretary of the PSCA Student Cabinet.
Stein's explanation of the functional procedure of the
drafting of the letter had involved a meeting of the PSCA's
Board of Directors, who recommended an appeal to the Sen
ate Committee on Student Welfare for clarification of the
PSCA-Cabinet squabble over whether a detailed' accounting
and auditing of the PSCA books would be required for them
to retain their representation on Cabinet.
