Mural Appropriation Cabinet. should toe high)/ commended in taking the first step toward the completion of Henry Vamuni Poor’s national]/ famous fresco in Old Ma.nn. At its last meeting it voted to give the esti ♦ natc-ct profit of $3500 from, the, Winter Fantasy which it sponsored, to finish the mural. In donating this sum Cabinet has set a prece dent for future Cabinet,'; to follow. Present Cabi •-♦)ot members have seen, the need for completing •--‘4/i'r. Poor';: foremost piece of art, but were only able -jo supply one-third of the required amount of money. It now throws the cue to the rest of (he student body and organisations of the College. The- creator of the mural is most anxious to fin ish lii;i work, which will undoubtedly go down in the history of art. As the must outstanding .fresco (lamter in. the country, Mr. Poor visualized the theme of. the mural and planned originally to ex tend it about the walls of. Old. Main portraying the history end. activities of the College. It took Mr. Poor from .August, 1939 to April, J 940 to plan the first painting, although the actual wo;):' of painting took only six weeks. The area yet to be, completed, is three times the original, and thus time’ is short. (Many writers of'recent arifei.el.es in art magazines and newspapers have shown that they have been deeply impressed with the works of art now in cen tral Pennsylvania. Especially impressed were they that many of these ideas and projects of art in .Pennsylvania originated with the students of Penn ■State. Instead of the traditional bird bath, classes and organization's have presented to their alma —»«filer works-of art such, as the Land Grant Fres co and the Lionj Shrine of; Heinz Warneke. As a general rule, art collections come from alumni groups and friends of the colleges. •Mr, Poor, creator of the Land Grant Fresco, is now at the -peak of his oareer. With the $3500 be --ginning given by Cabinet -it -would be impossible to drop the project now. The sooner the remainder oi (too fresco is started, .the better. A murali fund could he set up, and-to it each class and organiza tion. could, add to it as it. saw fit. P.T. Toe A Better Pena Sftffitw"" )ss.ia|jlished 1940.

But since our column was never meant to be profound, emotional, or influ ential, we'll skip the tear s and just say we’ll miss Perm Stale and all it stands for. As for the column, we realize full well that it will flourish in the hands of another budding journalist. Hearts and flowers St. Valentine’s day -with its-renewed pledges of undying love through flowers, candy, and gifts hit the campus with a bang. If you didn't claim your share of valentines you just didn’t rate. The story goe s that one sorority called a rival Greek house to ask if they could borrow some vases, be cause their house was so jammed with flowers they didn’t have enough containers.

Now I’m just Pete Faloon’s husband.” Powers Policy Stories about Winter Fantasy imports are still making the. rounds. One coed tells of a conversa tion between imports in a fraternity guest room.
