At that time it was only talk, but •we suggested that you watch the project grow, because the students behind the plan were ones Who not only talk about things but also have a :reputation for plenty of action when it comes to getting things done. • As a matter of refreshing your memory, the :following item was taken from an editorial ap- Tearing on May 28: "Just in case you think you're M for a dull Summer, it may be interesting to note that plans are underway for one of the big gest social weekends that State College has ever 'witnessed. Of course, the plans are only in an embryo stage at present, but by the time the end of July rolls around, the stage should be set for :Penn State's 'Victory Weekend.'" At first, the student body was a bit dubious about the whole idea, simply (because the project 'Was being given publicity before any definite plans or date could be: released. We were. lightly accused of spreading unjustified propaganda. However, as we mentioned in a later editorial, "this impression is entirely incorrect. We were not attempting to build up...a mysterious setting *for Victory Weekend by omitting specific dates and facts . . . However, it must be understood that tentative plans call for attractions which will surpass anything ever seen at Penn State . . .Just keep Victory Weekend in mind, and watch :IL grow." Then it appeared as though Victory Weekend was headed for rough sailing, and would be sty mied by several campus organizations. All available weekends had already been filled on 'the Student Union social calendar, and it became necessary to locate one organization which would (be willing to donate its previously assigned week end in favor of a worthy cause such as Victory 'Weekend, the proceeds of which would go to Army relief. Unwilling to see a commendable project col ]apse, the Foresters decided to sacrifice their an nual Ball and to contribute their weekend date for :the cause of Victory. :By that ,time, the idea was ;gaining terrific momentum on campus. Weeks Ipassed and many other organizations and indi viduals fell in line with large and small contri bu t ions. . Now it's here—Victory Weekend with all its extravaganza. But "lest we forget," Victory Weekend is not to be regarded as only one big mad house of fun for 5,000 study-worn students. .The purpose behind the project is more • com mendable than any other feature. For every .ticket you purchased, you made an investment 'toward financially rehabilitating the life of some 'wife, son, or daughter of an Army man who has 6acrificed the supreme—his life—so that his f am can continue to enjoy everything that has made America what it is today. Nittany Honor Roll Joseph Nagy, former Penn State student, was :recently commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Air Forces at Turner Field, Albany, Ga. Kenneth Loeffler, former captain of baseball and basketball at Penn State, is now a physical training instructor on the roster of the West Coast Army Air Forces Training Center at Santa Anna, Cal. John L. Monks, who attended Penn State, has been recently appointed as a Naval Aviation Ca •;iet. He has been transferred to the Naval Air 'Station at Pensacola, Fla., for flight training. According to an announcement made by the 'Public Relations Office of the U. S. Naval Air Station, .Pensacola, Fla., William P. Minshall and George Higgins, former members of the Penn ;State student body, have reported there for ad vanced flight training. Navigation Cadet Walter H. Sypherd Jr., for mer Penn State student, recently received his commission as a second lieutenant in the Army Air Force at Turner Field, Albany, Ga.

Instead, we sing the glories and praises of V-Weekend which is scheduled at a most appropriate time. With 75 per cent •of the student body flunking out, V- Weekend is a convenient excuse to make merry. The usual number of night-golfers will replace divots on the course, and the star-lovers on Ag Hill will pursue their favorite pastime. So, why take life seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.

Orchids are extended to Pierre Henrotte for his fine conducting of the SuMmer session Sym phony Orchestra on Thursday night. All you music 'lovers should put tomorrow night's open air concert on your MUST list. , Incidentally, beginning today, no more phono graph records will be made by union musicians by order of Jimmy Petrillo, head of the Ameri can Federation of Musicians. Petrillo's alleged motive is to create more jobs' for his boys' in spots where the juke box held sway. But it would take a lot of imagination stretching (and mazuma) to picture the crrm, Sandwich Shoppe, and down town eateries each maintaining a separate dance band. Confidentially, we think Petrillo is cut ting his own throat. The repercussions result ing from his edict-will soon backfire. Yougel Clamps Doqvw Burgess Yougel is a conscientious official who sticks to the letter of the law. Jerry Stein, CA secretary, is also conscientious—and stubborn— and therein heads a tale. Jerry was coasting down Atherton street astride a bicycle. At Ath and College he met a red light, but the 'cycle kept moving. At Beaver and Ath he encountered another red -blinker, and the ve hicle continued on its merry way. But lurking in the shadows was the local gendarmerie—his lips dripping with Satanic glee. Ten minutes later Jerry found himself before Burgess Yougel facing a $5 fine or a 3-day vacation in the bas tile. He was given until August 10 to decide. Jerry said he was a student, but Yougel declared that ignorance is no excuse. What will be Gerald's precedent-making deci-: sion? Will he pay the fine for breaking a law which he did not know existed? Or will he catch up on his studies for three -days at the ex pense of the taxpayers?
