Assistant Women's Editor This Issue Graduate Counselor Wednesday Morning, February 26. 1941 ''Squabble Goes, Bui Bus Problems Slay As far as all practical considerations are con :erned, State College's bus terminal apparently will remain on North Atherton Street. All its, Luts, and whereases about Greyhound returning to Co-op Corner seem relegated to the land of wish ful thinking, since no business is going to commit .•tself to investing upwards of $25,000 in a termi nal. and then let it stand idle. In this entire affair, the student body has found • tself in the unenviable position of being in the middle of a squabble, which, in spite of sincere •■motives on the part of some to remove unneces sary traffic hazards, has resolved itself into a ■petty, personal fight between downtown business • nterests. It would be less than truth to say that all of the >arties involved had public interests at heart. To the contrary, most of the interested people had their interests centered about the general region >f the poeketbook and when this interest is involv •:d, public consideration usually finds itself out in ••he cold. That much of the bus terminal mess is spilt milk. In their inconsideration of public inter ests, however, the disputants have left certain problems which should be solved. Some of these problems are in the process of solution already. We understand, on good author-. ■j.y. that the College will build a walk west from Burrowes Roard, south of the Beta house, to the site of the new terminal on North Atherton Street. This walk, well-lighted and patrolled by the Cam pus Patrol, should give the coeds, adequate protec tion to prevent recurrence of last year’s tragedy. In the past, buses have been permitted to use College parking lots to load passengers and bag gage before vactions. Up to now, it has not been Dr. Lewis clearly pointed out that we cannot necessary—for buses to unload on the campus. It would be possible, we believe, to have buses unload on campus following peak movements. College authorities have indicated that such per mission could be obtained, though for vacation returning buses only. We are anxious that such permission be both re quested and granted. It would eliminate much of the inconvenience which the new terminal offers. —S.J.P. Planning The future How can a student, planning his future, face the draft*.’ In days when few enough things are cer :ain, how best to face this immediate additional uncertainty? The director of Pennsylvania's selective service. Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette College, urges that students should concern them selves with the matters at hand and "not go out :<• meet the crisis. - ' In a sense. Dr. Lewis suggests that students should build their lives around the possibility o: military service, going ahead as usual, answering the draft if called, and taking up where they left. off when excused. In a talk here last week. Dr. Lewis suggested that as little as possible should be done to disrupt education. He characterized it as an essential in dustry. as essential to good government and pro gress as gunpowder, cannon, and airplanes. When the uncertainty now harrowing us will change to certainty of active war or certainty of peace. Dr. Lewis could not say. He guessed it might be as soon as July 1. Dr. Lewis clearly pointed out that we cam not jffoid to sacrifice education t<. total war. that if v/e do. war can lead us only to another Dark Ages.

That there have been grievous mistakes we don’t deny But generally the comments uttered here have not been too far from the norm of sanity. Recently, however, we made an implication which in retro spect is found quite without foundation in fact. Mr. W. -H. Auden, we mentioned, was a possible instrument of British propaganda. This statement, we should like to say now, seems untrue. During his visit on this campus there was, so far as we’ve been able to discover, no hint of an attempt, to in fluence political thinking with regard to this coun try’s possible future actions. Mr. Auden’s func tion was that of a literary man acting in a sort of advisory capacity to students interested in writ ing. He performed that function admirably, and gained the respect of all those who came into con tact with him. Our apologies for our own suspi cions and the perhaps unfortunate impression which may have been gained from our writing. The thought that the school of physical educa tion should ever react with anything resembling speed is enough to shatter the tissues. The muscle moguls are prone to follow the questionable ex ample ofthe Tortoise, thinking, no doubt, that whatever shall come to pass will come to pass, Heaven willing. Not too recently monies were appropriated to install an electrical scoring sys tem in Rec Hall. The proper governmental ma chinery was set in motion and all that sort of tiling. Finally the matter came to rest in the laps oi those in power among the physical education alists. It apparently is still resting right there. There has been a report that if the omens are good and the republic does not fall, the electrical scor ing system raav be in use by next year. It is a very cautious procedure: one not to be hurried. The idea that the whole business could be taken care of with dispatch would seem to be unheard oi, and besides it’s none of our business. Atsyol filegang . . . Last week’s drive for funds to aid the English was none too huge a success. Just what such a lack of enthusiasm over the plight oS one’s fellow men indicates, we’re sure we don’t know. It may bo that we have no vision, no humanity. It may be that financially Penn State simply cannot go about handing, out field kitchens. Or then again, it may be that we, all of us, are getting pretty well fed up with the idea that college students are a sure bet for anybody's troubles.
