Freshmen who appeared before. Van-Lundy and his governing body were. James Dunaway, Edward Joyner, Kenneth Gould, Martin Maier, Fred Humphreys, Richard Henctler, Jerry Gilman, Tony Cav alcade and James Work. Work's presence was his second of the semester, but the charges were. of minor detail. DAllaway was dismissed with no punishing assignments, as were Maier, Humphreys and Hendler. Joyner, enrolled in the electri cal . engineering curriculum, was asked the names of the Tri-dorms.

P essay Contest Winner of the $25 war bond offered by Army officers sta tioned on campus is T/5 Milton Nevitt. Col. Guy G. Mills an nounced the award, at a meeting of ASTP units Tuesday... T/5 Nevitt is a graduate of Brooklyn High School and re ceived his Bachelor of Science degree from Brooklyn College in 1941: Stetioned, at the College since September, 1943,, he is en tered in Civil Engineering, ad vanced, curriculum. Mills indicated that, from his grades, Nevitt would ; probably rank as • an honor student at the end of•the semester. He is also a sharp shooter with the. rifle. The.contest, in which 280 ASTP students submitted entries, was judged by the officers acting as a group. •The text of the prize winning essay' on "Why Should Soldiers Buy War Bonds," fol- - lows: "Why should I buy a bond? My reasons are so simple that they may seem complex to others." "Sentimentally I could say that this is. my way of- showing faith— faith in our ability and faith in America itself. No sacrifice is too great: to be worthy of that faith." "Realistically, I knowi that Civil Engineer Sodely' One of Twelve Honored The Student Chapter of. the American Society of Civil Engi neers, has received a letter of corn mendation from the president of the society for conduCting the af fairs of the chapter "in an effective and meritorious manner. for the period covering September 1942 to December 1943." E.ch year twelve from a total of 123 Student Chapters in engineer ing schools throughout the United States are honored in this manner. The citation this year marks the fourth time that this honor has come to the Penn State Student Chapter. During the past year the officers of the chapter were Mike War drop, president; Harold C. Martin, vice-president; Richard Reynolds, secretary; and W. E. Carson, treasurer. Present officers are W. E. Car-, son, president; A. A. Savage, sec retary; and H. K. Williford, treas urer. Professor F. T. Mavis was faculty adviser for the chapter un til September 1943. :Professor•. F. W.

He will wear the sign with the usual poetry beginning today at 8 a.m. and lasting .until Thursday night. Gould paid the supreme sacri fice for prematUre dating and will personify the object of his affec- tion by donning a dress, measured to smch dimensions that his•knees will be eNposed.-. Gilma.n will join Joyner in the sandwich sign class, while Ca,val cante and Work will be seen on campus with their pants rolled up above their knees. A general clampdown on fresh men was announced by Tribunal Head Lundy, who said that the be ginning of the semester saw less violators of freshman customs. The laxity of freshmen in adhering to customs has been partly • due to second semester freshmen and up- money starts wars, runs wars, and ayentually wins them. As a soldier, if I am not afraid to risk my life, then why my dollars?" "Practically, I want to go home as quickly as' possible and some how, somewhere my bond today may be my ticket home tomor row." Graduate. Course broils 200 Summer Students Workshop in Secondard Edu cation, a graduate course con ducted by Mary Jane Wyland of the education and psychology de partment, boasts of a summer en rollment of 200. Since the subject matter changes each week, attendance for the lectures has varied ac cording to the needs of the stu dents. Forty students enrolled for this week's discussion entitled "Education for Women in the Postwar World." consUltant at the meetings, held in the old Bot any building, is, Hilda Threlkeld, dean of women at the University of Louisville. "National Vocational Guidance" was the Workshop's topic last week. Deans and advisers attend these meetings from all .over the country, some coming from Okla homa; Ohio, and Kentucky. En rollment has sometimes reached 60 graduates in one week.

O'BRIEN Department of Speech Accounts of military operations by no means always furnish thrill ing reading. But this cannot be said of the war news of the past week, for this news had for its subject perhaps the most brilliant Allied actions of the war to date. Politico - military developments underlined the importance of these operations. Invasion Tho.atse On Tuesday, July 24, the Amer ican forces in France began a drive which by the following Thursday had developed into the twenty-five mile break through at St. Lo. At this writing our forces, apparently still gathering momen tum, have just completed a thirty mile advance in a single day. One spearhead has swung east toward Paris and the other is overrunning Brittany: Before our ground forces went into action, the German lines were carpeted by 100-pound fragmen tation bombs laid by over 3000 warplanes: Ground forces then at tacked with superlative dash and gallantry. According to German accounts, between 1200 and 2000 tanks may have been used. At any rate, armored vehicles were so thick that military traffic cops were necessary to direct the initial stages of the operation. Cor rell, of the United Press, pictures bulldozers levelling the hedges, followed by tanks with yelling, shouting doughboys riding them like broncos. Russian Theatre On the same Thursday that the tank-riding infantry cracked the St. Lo line, the Russian offensive, on a 1000 mile front, was rising to a sustained climax. On that day Marshal Rokossovsky's Ist White Russian Army, maintaining an al most two-mile an hour pace, rolled back the Germans to within thirty miles of Warsaw, or 340 airline miles of Berlin itself. In the north General - Bagramian's Ist Baltic Army drove nearer the coast by taking Siaulai in a boxing action designed to cut off 30 German divisions of perhaps 300,000 men still in EsthOnia and Latvia. By the middle of the present week, Marshal Rokossovsky's army was attacking the suburbs of Warsaw and Marshal Bagramian's army had closed the northern trap by a 32-mile break through to the Bal tic Sea 25 miles west of Riga. It is of interest to note that in the present summer defensive, be gun some five weeks ago, the Rus sian rate of advance has been ten miles a day over much of the long front, and in specific sectors as much as thirty, forty, or even fifty miles a day. This speed equals the German rate of march in their in itial 'offensive of 1941 and sur- (Continued on page eight) Pan-American Relations Fostered by Education, States Visiting Teacher Education is the only solid foun dation upon which a spirit of un derstanding among North and South American countries can be built, in the opinion of Roberto Valencia, San Salvador educator who visited the College on his tour of American educational in stitutions. Valencia, who teaches secondary school English in San Salvador, capital city of El Salvador, is one of ten Latin-American representa tives brought to the United States by the -United States Office of Ed ucation and the Office of Co-ordi nator of Inter-American Affairs to study the American educational system. `Only through continuation and expansion of educational inter change—students, teachers, and information—can the peoples of the two countries learn to know each other," he said. The people of El Salvador, Val encia pointed out, are vitally in terested in the United States. In nearly every home, he explained, there is a picture of one of the great American historical charac ters. The visiting educator also expressed his country's apprecia tion "for American industrial aid. "My people," he said, "like to work for Americans because they get good pay and good treatment."

Peery, of the aeronautical en gineering department of the Col-. lege, said today. Dr. Peery claimed that five postwar years will be required for aviation industry to adjust itself to a peacetime stride. "The automobile industry -will boom for five years following the war," Dr. Peery said, "while en gineers convert the present war tuned aircraft industry to pro duction of planes for private use." Planes in the postwar world, according to Dr. Peery, will prob ably be "roadable"—capable of running on highways as well as in the air. Folding wings and landing gear designed to permit landing on One-way strips will probably be additional features, he adde'd. The landing strips, he explained, could easily be constructed at frequent intervals beside the present high ways or in crowded city areas. Because of the rougher topog raphy and population congestion, helicopters will likely prove more popular than airplanes in the east, he said. In the mid-west and west, where distances are greater and open country is more con ducive to landing fields, the air plane will predominate, he added. College to Set Up Loan After Dividing Estate 'The John Fields' Memorial Stu dent Loan Fund will be set up at the College as soon as the execu tors of the will of the elate Mrs. Caro Emerson Fields have divided her estate. Mrs. Fields was the widow of - John Fields, class of '9l. Mrs. Fields died in Wichita, Kansas, June 27, leaving an es:- tate valued "in excess of $20,000" of which the College is to receive a sum after other bequests are deducted. After graduation from the Coll ege, Mr. Fields served on the fac ulty until 1895. At the time of his death in 1934, he was president and director of the Federal Land Bank of Wichita. 2.
