It may not be the stake we will want. As the country which is probably the best situated of all the nations we will have the most to lose and tire least to gain. One of the things we will be looking tor again j;; some sort of permanent world peace, searching, or, men of all ages have searched, for a right way that will end our troubles. Dante combed all history and found one perfect peace—the period when Augustus ruled as nion 'arch over the vast conquests of earlier Roman armies. A certain Tacitus, observing this same period, remarked of the- conquering Romans: “They make a solitude and call it peace.” Should we survive to rule the battered countries of Europe, that might be our role. Already it is Hitler’s. If vve gain at the expense of the rest of the na tions of the world, we will be ruling a solitude. It will be nice for awhile but after awhile there will .be whisperings our bored ears will miss and fin ally with a roar we may awake to no more soli tude and no more peace. If, on the other hand, we are farsighted enough to be content with something less than everything, to work for free trade and free intercourse be tween nations just as we now have free inter course between our states, we may find our imme diate sacrifice repaid in later profits. But these are only ideas and we are at war and war is war. Or can- we still think clearly? The .Chapel fund Collegian believes the right thing was done .by All-College Cabinet in dividing the chapel collec tions between Lingnan University and a local charity but it is not equally sure the right method was used. Whether a right result makes a wrong method all right is a question. Those who think the result is wrong—and they will be heard from soon—are going to begin pounding on the method- -Under the guise of caring only about the method, they will seek to have the result changed- If the method should be proved wrong (even though Cabinet was told two months ago that it bad the authority to rule on chapel funds), 'Colleg ian tinks something should be done. But- it does not think that something should be to simply toss out Cabinet’s decision. The question should be re-submitted to whoever are the proper authori ties. There is a strong case for diverting a share of the chapel collections aw r ay from Chinese agricul ture and into Pennsylvania education. Selfishly, it seems that we should take care of our own char ities before we take care of the Chinese. Those who are connected with the various local charities are aware of the great, unfilled needs of the .hundreds of students w;ho without complaint make all manner of sacrifices for the simple sake of getting an education. Until they are taken care of, it hardly seems fair that we should be sending over $2,000 a year out of State College to .help a people, no matter how deserving, half a world away.

Rumor says that the good Dean backed the amiable IFC prexy Ed Wagner into a corner and convinced him that the fraternities, and not her department, were responsible for the -temperance of her coeds. Coercion, we calls it. This reporter, has heard from that very reliable news source, the Coed Grapevine, that last year’s IF€ prexy. Bus Anderson had many embarrassing moments with the sanpe estimable lady about this' same questionably dangerous situation. Bus, we surmise, knew a little more about handling the fair sex than does his woman-hating successor. Lewis To Lewis The National Intercollegiate Boxing Tourna ment is to'be held here next weekend and Jimmy Lewis, last year’s EIBA champ in the 165-pound class, is looming large as Penn State’s most able contender. More than a decade ago, the first time the Na tionals were held here, Jimmy’s brother A 1 startled the sports world by winning the Nationals crown in his weight. Maybe there is something in a We haven’t seen any rehearsals of, the IF Ball Thespian production, “The Joint’s Jumping,” but we are gratified to learn that Les .Lewis has the femme lead. Not only because Les.is lovely and clever, but more important, we are sure that we will be able to hear her lines even if we’re in the last row in the balcony. Pins On Tlie March If the number of romances currently going on the rocks is any- indication, the saying should be changed to, “Will she love men in May as she did in December?” Among those who have fallen by the wayside are Wake Thompson and Marce Stringer, Bill Christman and lovely Frosh Beanie .Seibert. Don’t quote us, but Penn State may have the Dies committee on its neck in the neai' future. We may .be wrong, but certain ’students are believed, to be actively Red and are-receiving Red litera ture. Dean Warnock’s recent letter to fraternity presidents advising them to teach their boys “The Principles of Democracy”, would seem to-substan tiate the above. Personally we think it’s kind of silly to look for Reds in the fraternities. It’s- hard enough to find even a Democrat. Prafi May lake 11% ® Sfudenls AUSTIN, Tex.—Colleges and. universities over the nation will lose 11 per cent of their, male stu dents to Uncle Sam’s, defense program this sum mer, if these students today accurately prognosti cate their future, Student Opinion Surveys of Am erica disclosed in the results of a national samp ling. Projected against the total enrollment in colleges today, this figure suggests that more than ■BO,OOO college men believe they will either be called by their local draft .boards or else they will volunteer .for .their year’s service instead of re turning to school in the fall. Because of the Selective Service Act provision permitting deferment until June 1 for all .men 21 or over enrolled in school, very few undergradu ates have already entered into their year .of-mili tary training. , Besides the 11 per cent above, nearly 10 per cent are not planning .to return to school next year, but do .not believe they will be drafted or will volun teer. Nearly four-fifths of the students now in school believe they will return for at least one more years study. This study should not be in terpreted to mean that college enrollments* will be depleted by 11 per cent. This figure is merely an indication as to how much the defense program is liable to affect the college male. The exact percentages, as found by the Surveys through interviews taken on the* scores of cam puses participating in the poll, are as follows: Will vqlunteer or be drafted 11.2% Will Return to College ■* w . 79.2% Will Do Neither ....9.6% (This tabulation does not include the 6 per cent who are undecided.) * THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Will ?alk|n£h<>pe! -- Dr. Bliss JForbush, executive secretary jof.the Baltimore yearly meeting of friends, will speak on the subject, “Who Will Build a Better World,” at chapel services in Schwab Auditorium at. 11 o’clock tomorrow morning. Letters to the Editor — A Reader Asks What About Gh&pel?, To the .Editor: This is written with all .the sincerity that I can muster up. All the views and opinions are strictly personal. Last Sunday morning our Chaplain, Dr. Frizzell, managed to get us a speaker for chapel, who really 'had something to say, I would suggest to those who were not there . that they contact someone who was there and .find out what the nature of Dr. -Evans’ talk was. When speakers come to our chapel I am quite sure that they spend hours preparing their talk? , so that what they say is applica ble to college students. I can not (help imagining what impression ; the paltry, representation of our student body of seven thousand students must make on them. Let’s all make an honest en deavor to pull out of that bed next Sunday morning and just as an experiment see if going to chapel is time .well spent.
