Defense Necessities Foreshadow
New Job For Colleges
No matter what happens in the present war, and.
--- 11P 0 matter how it turns out: the United. States is, in
—4 4 or a change in defense methods.
Already Congress has authorized a two,-ocean
--ipavy. The army has organized separate tank units
on the order of the German panzer divisions. De
centralization of industry and. armed strength has
egun. .
' Even after peace has returned, military experts
agree, the, United States will want to keep its
f,tanding army at about 500,000 . and its two-Ocean
navy will demand about 450,090, regulars. In other
words almost 1,000,000 men will be under arms,
three times the number on active duty before the
-resent defense preparations began.
• . .. •
Wide Spread opinion regards this as the death
Anell fox West Point and Annapolis as the type, of
..bervice schools 'they are today. They can not pro
vide enough officers fo,r a force of 1,000,000.
Ope. of the suggestions being considered in
Washington is that the burden of training officers
;.;Mould be placed with the colleges and universities
of the country through the medium of expanded
ilcvd units.
If this happens, West Point and Annapolis will
tropably be continued but as "post graduate .
chools!' which the products of the nation's ROTC
--limits would enter for two years of intensive train- .
Their counterparts would be.erected on the
Pacific Coast.
-No doubt, as Congressman James E. VanZandt
~ , a s suggested, one of the first effects of such a
,vrogram on Penn State would be the erection of
-ibe proposed $1,800,000 Armory under a Congres
sional appropriation.
If Congressman Van Zandt succeeds in getting
an armory appropriation from the next Congress,
--wart of the reason will be •that the Congressmen
are giving serious consideration to the increasingly
ikoport4p,t role which they expegt ROTC units to
ray'
Gregorian Note
We pass this on as an excuse for adding zest
tie New Year's celebration two weeks heioce. Cele-
Akirants will be glad to know that the fellows who
-.siirs : g out the old, decade and rang in the new last
e.cemb.er 31 were a year premature. The time
o celebrate not one but 10 new years is on. the
-entry of 1941.
Years divisible by 10 actually mark the end of
fi decade. Starting from the beginning, the first
4ecade began with 1 4. D. and thus closed with
O 4. D. Unless we want to give short measure
to one of the 194 decades along the line, we will
-vitt je starting the 195th until 1941 rolls in:
• Two wrongs never made a right. The fellows
vho celebrated the new decade last year can not
recompense by passing it up this year. They will
Wive to celebrate again.
The Penn State alumni dances over the holiday
:,eason should profit by this.

• We observe that the staff of the local humorous
magazine has managed to produce another issue
of their hilarious publication. We are reminded
of the mountain which labored and' brought forth
mice. We are further informed that a paragraph

Generally speaking we don't hurl a great many
orchids. Usually we are to be found murmuring

forthwith bestow it upon soxne unsuspecting. per

proportions upon all pin -ball machines and other
such devices. State College, it would appear, is
out to prove that sin is its own reward.

Department:
It would be rather interesting to learn just what
emotions crowd the breasts. of the-•lndependent
freshman politicians. As late as a week before
the elections the Independents were flushed with
confidence; , the Campus. men were. wearing sack
cloth and ashes. There is a bitter irony about it
all. Incidentally, we wonder how Mr. MacFadden,
that clever chap who is now sojourning in tropic
clime, feels about the situation. His brain-child
metamorphosed into something of a headache.
. Two. changes in -the personnel of the war world
last week will undergo long scrutiny for their
effect on the course of events. The death of the
Marquess of Lothian may—or may. not—bring im
portant changes in Anglo-American relations. The
deposal of Pierre Laval by France may be an im
portant sign of the times or may mean very little.
The question is whether these leaders were men
v;ho drove the tides or men who rode them.
