PAGE TWO With the Editor— , Abut Conscription And Ik Process 09 Pennsylvania Registration For the purpose of the record, it is well to set down, somewhere—and here seems like the best place—the process of registration, for conscrip tion in Pennsylvania. College students will be deferred —on request— until the end of the academic year but all be tween the ages of 21 and 36 must register, the only exceptions being advanced ROTC students. The step by step process, as reported last week by the Associated Press, follows: 1. Appointment by President Roosevelt, upon recommendation of Governor James of 420 local draft boards seven regional appeal boards. . 2. A special date is set when every man be tween the ages specified in the conscription bill must register at his local election district. 3. The chief registrar in each of the 80,690 vot ing precincts turns the registration cards over to the county commissioners, who send the cards to the local draft boards in each area. t 4. A local draft board is appointed for each 30,000 population in an area, including three vot ing members, one examining physician, and one government appeal agent. - 5.' The local boards take the registration cards of 20 to 30 election districts, up to 3,000 cards, .shuffle them, and assign serial numbers ranging, from 1 to 3,000 for each name. C. The lists are compiled and posted in each election district, and copies sent to the governor and the federal government. 7. The federal government determines the or der in which each bracket of serial numbers shall be called to military service, through a lottery drawing. - 8. Those whose serial numbers are called in the ‘first draft” are furnished with questionnaires, which they must fill out and return to their local draft boards, listing their occupations, family in come, dependents, education, etc. 0. The local boards determine who shall be called into the federal service from these ques tionnaires. . 10. Those who are rejected at first because they have dependants, are physically unfit, or are retained in 'private industry, are placed on a “de ferred” list, and may be called later if. they are needed to fill the quota. " .11. Those who. are. called in the first draft, and are not eliminated through exemption or appeal, must report on a date set for the training period to begin at a state-wide “reception center,” 'prob ably at Harrisburg, Indian town Gap, or New Cumberland. ' The Gettysburgian of Gettysburg- College re lates the story of the wrestling coach who pa tiently tried to'explain the fundamentals of: the grunt and groan art to his only mildly interested pupils. None seemed to understand, and the light of learning burned low. ! Finally in sheer depera tion he wrote in bold white letters across the gym ceiling: “If you can read this you’re in the wrong position.” THE DAILY COLLEGIAN "For A Better Penn'State" Successor to the Penn State Collegian, established 1004, and the Free Lance, established 1887 Tuesday Morning, September 17, 1940 _ Published daily except Sunday and Monday during the regular College year by the students of The Pennsylvania State College.

All of which re minds me of the slogan of a one-jerk Missouri newspaper gone blotto years ago. .“He whq bloweth not his own bazoo, the same shall not be blown.” The paper if you’re interested was the Sedalia Bazoo.

He was ghowinga freshman the game room when the rushee. asked where the bathroom was. Bill, thinking the -fel low had asked about a badminton court, answered brightly “Oh, we used to have one out on the front lawn but it was too hard on the grass.” And then there were the two Pi Kappa Phis who ... were invited to go through-the SAE house when one of the brothers saw them standing at the cor--' net of Beaver and Pugh. They went Peggy Herman Harlan’S family is being well taken care of by the Sigma Nus. They pledged her brother and -Dana .Chalfont and' Rod Sachs flipped for the chance to take her sister -out.

Zook, president of the Am erican Council on Education, thumps for. state sup port of junior colleges. • “I hope you never belong to Youth with a cap ital ‘Y'. You ought not to be marked off- as a spe cialpressuregroup because of your age, just as women shouldn't be. marked off because of their sex. You are not a special class, but citizens.” . Mrs. Robert Taft, wife of the G.O.P. presidential hopeful, told University of Minnesota collegians the-piaee they ought to assume in national affairs. “The academic year 1939-40 will be marked in the future as the turning point in ehgineering.edu-. cation in the United States—a turning point away from specialization oft technological subject-mat ter in the basic four-year programs, and toward the. inclusion of an integrated stem of social-hu manistic studies wbich will tend to, make the en gineers of tomorrow a more 'rounded man' and citizen.” Columbia University’s Dean Joseph W.
