The fact is no one can show how Yet, despite this factor, despite the fact that - Wisconsin and Minnesota and North Dakota have awaketied j and by oveiwhelming legislative action have outlawed compulsory military hauling, de spite the fact that figures from the Wat Depart ment's own files move optional militaiy taming is less costly, and mote efficient than compulsot v nulitaiy naming, students at 85 colleges in th. .-I,Tnited States, including Penn State, have con tmually been forced to take this training—m lose a college education On the record there has been no legislative ac tion by either the state m the national legmlatuie forcing this College to Jam militaly [awning down the thioats of thousands of students But tho College, long recognized as a Mottl institution, continues to ilo vo Why . ' Because the United States War Department Is controlled by professional partiots, backed 'by glittering gold and jingoistic epithets, who are expertly adept at dealing from the bottom of the deck and playing an underhanded game, a game so underhanded and so viciously one sided that any educational institution daring to challenge their power may soon find itself dy ing of financial starvation %Iroise yet, however, is the fact that these pro fessional patriots have a sh angle hold on the pub lie of this nation Deny it if you will, but the Collegian defies any one to show any oiganization in this nation with more power than the so-called patriotic oiganiza tions which jump at the drop of a gun to sin.; chauvinistic hymns of hate and preach the doe trineiof brother against brother These are the organizations that are perpet uating compulsory training And no sane edu cational institution In the world would dare chal lenge them—unless it knew the public was ready , to shake off its lethargy and crush these organ izations - - , That's what happened in Minnesota—by legs lative action That's what happened in Wisconsin—by legi , lative action ThatN what happened in North Dakota—by leg islative action And that's what can happen in Pennsylvanu, if people are brought face-to-face with the facts, if they can be made to we that compukmy nub tary training is only a useless waste of time and money But it will come only by legislative action and only when the public is so well-acquainted with the true facts that its political lame' will he stiong enough to out-barter the enemy ,Foi the past few yeais, the College has authoi ,ixed exemptions from R 0 T C. to be granted Soi (1) "physical disability" and (2) "ieligious rea- Boni " _ , What is meant by "physical disability" is ob vious, but what "religious i eas.ons" Means no one seems to 'know The Collegian hopes, however, that in this age violent extremes and intolerance, incoming freshmen will retain common sense, show their respect to College authorities, then go out and fight - the - professional patriots not with fists, not with guns, not with catchy phrases, but with old, hard facts that can't be repelled, Extra!
