For some time past, the COLLEGIAN has been receiving litera ture from a certain organization in the National Capitol which styles itself the "American Union Against Militarism" That this mat ter has not been printed in the columns of this paper is due mainly to the fact that we believe it to be little short of treasonable. The aim of the Union now is to enroll as many college men and women as possible, but the COLLEGIAN believes that such a move as this on the part of students would be very unwise. The Union bases its claims for collegiate membership on the failure of the S. A. T. C. And yet, did the S. A. T. C. really fail? While it had many bad points, apparently many more than its good ones, it must nevertheless be remembered that the Student's Army Training Corps saved the American colleges. With the passage of the draft law lowering the age limit to eighteen, virtually every young man was looking forward to an early call to camp. Under such conditions, it was safe to assume that a large number of colleges and universities would have had to close down for lack of students This the S. A. T. C. undoubtedly prevented. Then, again, this movement was innuguzated to provide a res ervoir, lrom which material for officers' training camps could be drawn. Let us remember that twice a call was made upon Penn State and twice Penn State responded. And when the war was brought to a close by the signing of the armistice, a much larger contingent of Blue and White students were preparing to leave for officers' camps In view of the foregoing statements, we cannot say that the S. A. T C. really tailed at Penn State. The college membership cal d sent out by this anti-militaristic organization has on its reverse side a cartoon of a lather, mother and son. The reading matter explaining it says• "Why f What has made our hero a Bolshevist?" "Oh, chiefly the Students' Army Training Corps" We wonder if this means that every one who was in the S. A T. C. is now a Bolshevist. If it does, the Union certainly need not expect many members among the stud ents of American colleges Penn State•has been n military institution since about the time of the Civil war. Every male student enrolled in a four or two year course is compelled to take four semesters of military work. And it is undoubtedly due to this preliminary military ,training that. such a. large number of Penn State students were enabled to qualify as officers during the recent world struggle. Which is an other point against the "American Union Against Militarism." Finally, no student will Join any organization whose chief official is a radical, a pacifist, and a defender of Bolshevism. These are the characteristics, however, which apply to Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Nation, and chairman of the Union. It was only last Saturday that Villard, before six hundred members of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in session at Phila delphia, declared, that in his opinion and that of other men in Europe, Lenine was the ablest statesmen in Europe today; that the "reds" are being treated too rudely and should not be so repressed by mobs of uniformed men nor should they be deported; and that the soviet government would be a good thing for America. So, beware of the "American Union Against Militarism." LET'S BE THERE! During the unsettled days of the S A. T C. last fall, when the students were sadly in need of some kind of entertainment, the Senior girls decided to put on a play in "doing their bit" for the boys. It will be remembered that on the night set for the perform ance, the Engineering Building burned to the ground, leaving the college without light or heat and causing great unrest among the students. A vacation was necessary and the' women students were to leave by noon of the next day. Yet under those trying conditions, the Senior girls decided to give their play on the mornng before they left, and it is the belief of the COLLEGIAN that they helped more than anything else in restoring the morale of the student body. Saturday night, these Senior girls arc giving another play in or der to raise some money for their class fund. The play itself will be well worth seeing, and the COLLEGIAN believes that the stud ents should not miss this opportunity of showing their appreciation for what was done last fall. Let's be there.! WHY NOT REORGANIZE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT? The following communication regarding the student fire department at Penn State has been received, and the COLLEGIAN believes that the matter therein discussed is worthy of attention. The 'article in its entirety follows: "Several years ago the students at Penn State organized a fire department as there was but one company in the village, which was not considered adequate for both the college and the town. Therefore, those interested secured a chemical apparatus winch was housed in the basement of the library. "Up to the begirining of the last college year, the department was well organized but it was not until the middle of that year that it was again organized and then only a few members could be recruited. Fortunately for the college there were no fires during that year or perhaps they would have been extremely disastrous. 'During the beginning of the present college year, the college was under the control of the S. A. T. C. and we did have a fire which due to the inefficient organization of the fire-fighting depart ment proved to be very costly to Penn State. "Now as good loyal students of Penn State, we should_ - again organize our fire department, and have it fully trained and ready to meet any emergency. Let us get busy and boost this matter and have results." The two amendments to the Honor System, proposed recently, were submitted to the Freshmen this morning and they will come be fore the upperclassmen tomorrow morning in chapel for approval or re jection. Each man's duty is clear. For the strenghthening of the Honor System and for the good name of old Pcnn State, let us all vote "YES!" The COLLEGIAN believes that the Student Council acted wisely in deciding not to have a "Moving-up Day" this year. As has been said, it seems that the one week's taste of the next class higher up seems to take away all the joy and anticipation which n student has in looking forward to returning the next fall us a member of that. class. .-„ On the Corner --- E I'EEL SO LATre • . rilitor Avvirlna Editor • This nook tle felt sot la lazy and 11Ith nut Ideas.
