There is salient evidence that the existing selec tive service law is designed to mobilize in the shortest time possible, a giant draft army, presum ably to witness something more than field man euvers. None of our military experts have indicated that We need this giant army to repel any immediate American invasion. Opinion seems to be that in this day of lightning events such a prospect is comparatively distant It may be that our military leaders believe a victory over Germany is impossible without an in vasion of the European mainland. Unless that is the case, England will probably never need the land troops we are training. Otherwise, why the stumbling haste? If foreign developments lead our defense coor dinators to believe that the crisis will be protract ed five or six years, fundamental changes in the draft seem inevitable. Three things seem likely to crop up in the next few weeks as regards the draft and all of them will deserve study. 1. A second national Registration Day may be called with a probability that it may be far in ad vance of the expected October date, perhaps April 1, It is also likely that after the second Registra tion Day young men will register individually within five days after reaching their 21st birthday. 2. A policy will have to be set up on inducting new registrants into the draft structure—either through a new “fish bowl’' or through assignment tc> numbers already drawn. Possibly the propor tion of younger men taken will be increased so as to. work toward a policy of universal service at the age of 21 as now suggested. 3. Some definite action will have to be taken op students now in college and those planning to enroll for the 19.41-42 academic year. If the administrators direct their policy towards building up at once a giant and strong army we . can presume that some ‘immediate use of the army is contemplated. On the other hand, motions in the direction of a long-range draft policy will in dicate. that our present technical peace will be prolonged a year or two, and even more. Classified Trouble Operating not on the assumption that youth is a lost generation but on the basis that everyone has something wrong, the American Youth Commis sion last week analyzed youth’s trouble. Youth’s problems are outlined thus: 1. Difficulties arising from compulsory military service, shared, alike by youth both in and out of service. 2. Poor health,- subnormal physical conditions, and shattered morale. 3. Extreme disparities in educational oppor- tunities, 4. Employment and widespread unemployabil ify among young men and women.

With impressive army and navy uniforms, beautiful girls (really!) and the tradi tional Grand March, it proved to be more popular than many of Penn State’s bigger dances. Too bad the weather man didn’t give Uricle.Sam’s boys a break. Bobbie Kelly, looking like a storybook princess was one of the leaders of the Grand March. It was an appropriate farewell to Penn State for Bobbie who won’t be here tins semester. We understand that she plans to enter Boston Uni versity next- fall. We’re certainly sorry to see her go. Helen Swanson came with an ensign from the University of Washington. Gloria Knepper and Don Davis were there as were Betty Brown and Rog Findley, Pat Behney, and Chuck Mattern. Phyllis Dalton and Lew Corbin, Dot Wagner and Charlie Prosser, Ruth Popp and Ken Stoner, Jeanne McAdam and Ralph Blasingame, and Peg Sherman and Norm Lamond. The battle of the century is well under way. All the teams have been training for months and well they should. It was the survival of the fittest when they encountered for the first time last Wed nesday at noon. At the sound of Old Main, a hun dred sorority women rushed up. the stairs ,of Mac Hah. all eager to be the first in the freshman rooms. They had been Waiting for some' time, and were impatient. At the signal they were off. Lead ing the pack was Eleanor Berifer who disposed of her nearest Kappa opponent with a well-placed kick in the shins. Following close on her heels were Norma Stillwell, ChiO prexy, Eleanor Derr, Alpha Chi, Peggy Embury, from the Kappa house, and 95 other girls. The freshmen were so amazed that they could hardly answer all the requests for dates. Those that managed to stammer out a re ply were ushered into Rec Hall just after the last seats were taken. And so it goes—until next Sun day when amid squeals of delight, the sorority women will greet their new pledges. A young lady from Elmira, N. Y„ will be very disappointed, we’re afraid, when she looks at her new Sigma Nu pin and finds that it has Don Tay lor’s name on the back instead of Bob Hummel be’s.
