Memorial Si esker Joseph F. O'Brien Boalsburg Has Service Today . Prof. Joseph F. O'Brien, of the speech departrrient, will be the featured speaker at the Memorial Day Services in Boalsburg at 6:30 tonight. This will be the 86th anniver sary of the service at the place where the idea of Memorial Day was bOrn. The annual memorial seryices were originated. by a group of Boalsburg women who started placing flowers on the graves of Civil War dead. Their group was eventually joined by other organizations, and in 1864, Memorial Day was officially pro claimed. Today's service is dOected by the Civil War Veterans of Boals burg, and is open to the public. "The Glory of Human Courage," is the title of Professor O'Brien's speech. The themes of the speech ar&the meaning of Memorial Day as remembering and the meaning as a tribute to human courage. PRICE FIVE CENTS the motion about the radio sta tion to the floor and stated that the administration wanted some sort of student reaction before ac cepting or rejecting the budget ary application for the station. At present, a completely out-, fitted radio station is set up in 304 Sparks, but it has no facili ties for broadcasting outside the studio. According to Jones, plans now call for the purchase of surplus wire from the government which would be installed in the heating tunnels running through the cam pus to dormitories and buildings. To Use Channels The reception would be beamed to regular radio channels, but the beams would only carry 250 feet on either side of the heating tun-. nels. While Pollock Circle dormitor ies have no heating tunnels, there are tunnels which can carry the wire. The staff would be made up of radio speech students and others interested in radio speech, some faculty advisors; and a Cabinet committee. Tones, Samuel Vaughn, new editor of Froth, and• Carr oil Howes, president of the Agricul ture .S tu dent Council were appointed to the committee that will work on the project. A rep resentatiVe from the Daily Col legian may also be added. The proposal in no way was an indication that Cabinet would fi= nancially support the station, at least for the. time being. The bud get for next year has already been completed and the - station is relying on the College to pro vide funds for the purchase of the wire, the installation, and the maintenance. Dorm Contract Change Richard Bard, president of the Association of Independent Men, requested Cabinet to pass a reso lution that the dormitory con tracts be changed to prevent a re occurence of the recent search of dormitory rooms during th e Spring vacation by the College.
