Dead soldiers filling 1,500,000 coffins should £ive us pause. 1,600,000 coffins filled would represent 1.15 per octlic Azzvsrio&n population. Xttey would -♦•(■present a wasted 52,500,000 years. They would • represent a wasted potential earning power about the size of the present national debt. ■ - Of course, talking in figures like these is pure drivel. Few men care about anything more than 100 years, fewer can conceive even that. That we have bought 1,500,000 coffins is nothing extraordinary. We are building an army on the ohrmce we may need it. We should know full well ■that if we do need it we will also need a good sup ply of coffins That's the risk we are taking. That is what is .beck of the whole defense program. Senator Wheeler has made all that clearer than it was be fore. He has demonstrated vividly the awful size of the risk we are running. We are gambling on the chance that this army will not have to be used and that its very exist ence will remove the threat. If our bluff is called, coffins are as essential a part of the defense as n.nriy, Unfortunately, our conception of an army ».>: of one, natty, well-groomed, and organized in ■jieat straight lines. ___ We are running the risk of losing—by some equipment-buyer’s estimate—l,soo,ooo men. Say what you will that is quite a stake to lay at the altar of democracy. We may be willing to tell our government to go ahead, gamble our wealth, take that risk. But it pc-ems reasonable that we should also find out what, the stakes are. What are we playing for? The only public word America has received of it- and Britain’s war aims (besides beating Hitler) is the. estblishment of President,Roosevelt’s flut tering four freedoms. But how? Will we fight for another Versailles? Are we . tjqing to set up all over the world a type of gov ernment we would not be willing to fight for? will the political boundaries be drawn?. Who. will govern who? How? Just what are we fight tfig for? . . No one in authority- has ever stated these aims specifically. No one has ever tried to-tell the American or the British people what these peace h-nns will be, to produce, for instance, a model compact. ' . . In truth, if we .ire aiming at a really fair and li-sting peace, j- we should be, it might help our Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Night Phone 4372 Distributor of (iiiimiiuiiiiiuiliuliHiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiimmiuiiiimiiuiiuuliiiiimmiiiiumit lUHuiimiuiiiiiuuiiuiuuuuimiuuuuiuiumiuiiiiiuuuuiiiiiiiiiiuiiiHUiiiiiiiiu As the last pledge was welcomed to the last sorority house late Sunday afternoon, and the last squeal of delight died away, women’s rushing came to an end. Once again life at Penn State has returned to normal. Comer Room booths and Sandwich Shop tables are available to all who want them. Freshman women no longer wear that hunted look and the sorority .women seem to be recovering from those sleepless nights of un necessary worry. Everyone seems to be happy, that is, almost everyone. For the benefit of those who do have troubles,-we will run our own little Want Ad column. Have A Door ? If the culprit who begged, borrowed, or stole the SAE’s bathroom door will please return said door to the house as soon as possible and save the brothers the necessity of buying a new one, they will be very grateful. Want A Date ? If any of you smoothies who don’t have dates for next,week-end would like to go out with dele gates to the Student Government Convention, please call Arita Hefferan at the Alpha Chi Omega suite. Fifty delegates have applied to the com-, mittee for dates. There are both boys and girls and they come in assorted sizes. All applications will be gratefully received and the committee guarantees you a good time at the Collegian dance, Friday, and the Drydock, Saturday night. Of spe cial interest to you girls might be the statement of the committee that a large percentage of the fel lows who applied are six feet tall or over. Also Wanted Wanted —another "coed dance like WRA’s Sweetheart’s Ball on Friday. We can’t get enough of these dances where the girls pay for the tickets. Wanted—a copy of the 10-cent book of comic strips in which one of the characters is Leon Ga jecki. That’s right—in one part a gangster says to his pal. “In exactly two hours, Leon Gajecki will die.” Bright prospect for you, Gates. Wanted —a more complete list of couples present at the DTD pledge dance. . We. have so far: Beanie Siebert and Bill Christman; Peggy Camp bell and George Trimble; Billie Martin and Bud McFadden; and we’re not sure whether we saw Posie Williams, Gertie Hellmers, Andy Walters and Bill norwoicnat DTD or the Friday night dance. Wanted —someone to go on trips with Jack Good to see -that he keeps out of mischief. Wanted —a group of reminders posted in the Ar mory the next time we pay fees to see that we fill out those blank checks for just a little more than the exact amount of our fees. It is so discouraging to remember that you didn’t even chisel one little dollar from dear dad. You*!!"
