degree from Brooklyn College in
1941: Stetioned, at the College
since September, 1943,, he is en
tered in Civil Engineering, ad

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

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.

resulted in the addition of a sand
wich sign to his wardrobe. 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

War News
Analyzed
by
JOSEPH F. 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-

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."

Helicopters
Will Replace
Family Autos
The small family-type airplane
and helicopter will begin to re
place the automobile for private
use within a decade, Dr. David J.
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.
