It's all over n:Av. Victory Weekend is now history, but—in pass ing—it deserves one more word of comment. Still not clearly explained is why Collegian those to call it "the biggest social holiday in Penn State history." Friday's big-name dance did not :have a larger attendance than any before it—a 'certain Senior Ball out-drew it by a couple hun dred. The social calendar might, not even have been as impressive as weekends that included im portant football games. We still believe, however, that it was "Penn State's biggest." • Victory Weekend was Penn State's biggest be 'cause it was put over the top by the combined support and effort of almost every major campus organization—united in a display of College spirit at its best. It was tops because it had an underlying pun: pose that topped any In the history of Penn State's big holidays. Ninety cents out of every dollar used to buy V-tickets were direct contri butions to Army Relief. Over $5,000 of Penn State holiday money will be used toward the care of the families of America's war dead. , Victory Weekend was the College's greatest be cause it was the result of a new idea. It was a plan worked out without the initial push of tra dition. It was typical of the ideal American yen:- lu re—daring, precedent smashing, and success fully concluded. College history was made last weekend as Penn State celebrated its "biggest social' holiday." Z. T. C. Buy A Share since many students are now beginning to :realize the financial strain that has been coupled with the program of year-around college - attend •ance,. it may seem definitely out of place to sug gest additional methods of ,spending money. But when you spend a few extra dimes to help the United Nations whip the Axis, then the extra financial burden is fully justified. Instead of buying that extra pack of cigarettes or a soda dur ing a sandwich hour, why not make a small in vestment in America. by purchasing a defense i - itamp? Scattered rumors on campus indicate that a sales • campaign for defense stamps may be in itiated by student government leaders. Irre gardless of what official action is taken by Cab inet concerning such a campaign, we believe that 'the average student has become more war-con scious during the past several months and will gradually . feel personally obligated to buy de fense stamps. A student campaign, however, will bring about 'faster action, and sales will rise more rapidly than they would if students were permitted to rely on their feeling of personal obligation to lytly defense stamps. Practically all industries have already adopted some form of campaign to increase the sale of Wilds and stamps. Many workers are required to submit a certain percentage of their weekly earnings toward the purchase of bonds; and it must not be overlooked that of these same in lustrial workers many are in a financial plight 'that is just as serious as that of any student. 'High war taxes have eaten deeply into the work r's yet he finds enough extra money to continue purchasing defense bonds. The next time yen start to spend that extra :lime, do as many American industrial workers doing and buy 3 share in America. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Phone 4872 __Paul I.

Bell THE DAILY COLLEGIAN The Campuseer su, ll'eekend llian arver.i Victory Weekend went over with a bang, and a bit of a splash Saturday night. Campy officially doffs his. hat and dedicates his next three beers to the powers behind the weekend plans. Every body and his kid sister took in the festivities. Talking about kid sisters reminds us of the "sor ry but" Bus Blakeslee received from the younger Miss Blakeslee, but the All-College. proxy came through the, affair unscathed, dating a coed. Ti'anted—One . Date Bill Hotham, fisigmakappa alum, was in town for a few days last`week and wanted very much to take in the weekend, but, alas and alack, poor Bill had no date. After trying several possibil ities, Bill resorted to the Collegian classifieds, thusly: "Wanted—A girl. Preferably over 18 whose feet are mates and who would enjoy hearing Benny Goodman with a wandering alumnus . . ." A total of 22 offers were open to our resource ful hero, including coeds, alumni, and Summer session students. Bill finally chose a coed from Westminster, a friend of one of the local talent, Bill said he'd rather have a blind date with a Westminster coed than one from Penn State. Somethi7T New Ada'ed . A story on the women's page of the Collegian carried the headline, "Coeds. Learn Ways To Can." one day last week. We couldn't resist the temp tation to suggest that coeds stick to improving their ballroom dancing first. Things We'd Like To -See 1.

Now the local males will have to resort to their textbooks for. learning, and the golf course keepers will be able to do a better job in getting the course in shape— for golf. 11. S. Treasury Dept.
