k Restatement
Of, EdiforiarPOliCyr
With another freshman class entering Penn
State,; the senior board' of The Daily Collegian'
believes , that its editbrial policy." should again
be preseuted. to introduce: it attitude on camplis
and' national problems .to those who are not
acquainted with • its editorial' stand.
. Never since the eve Arnerie.an participation
in the. World War I:- has Ithe carnptis been , hit' bye.
uncertainty and. a doubtful future for . college
students..,' Never haVe , so- many students' been
living on borrovied time as in this' war=titrie era.
The: Pretence of this' World?.. crisis has reached
IMO the - life of - ,every Peni 'State ;:tuderit and may
threaten tb change the aspeCt of student • thought:
arid abttini. . What was wrong yesterday is right
today.,. and What- is right today may be wrong
tomorrow.
With thth situation in. mind, we repeat the
words which made - our editorial debut:
'"What• shall be the editorial policy of The
Daily-Collegian? Shall we take a stand upon the
national and international Situation which con
cerns each one of - us? Shall we cleterinine who is
right and:who is wrong? Shall we blaspheme and
cdtidtict• carnpaigns- against -the inner factions of
national and economic groups fbr their guiding the
world: of today?'
"Our answer must be no. We cannot mop up •
the international wranglings or compete : ayith
experts who differ on many 'major 'political pi:Ants
in attempting" to solve the economic or PolitiCal
probbris , which•puzzle us.
"Temporary campaigns , and issues, which are
set up as a standard bearer, soon fade and dis
appear Under the forever changing conditions of
the present • day. We cannot pledge to support
something which has lost its savor or will be out
moded' tomorrow. Rather, we must• choose a
more consistent scope. Our editorial policy must
be flexible and unlimited enough to permit us
to make deciSions as situations change and issues
about fate. It cannot be confined. .
."Thus, deserting the traditional platform of
the past, we simply assert, 'The Daily Collegian
will repreSent . the voice of the student. 'R'ealiting
our limitations, but upholding our right of critical
opinion,. we will fearlessly and frankly discuss
those issues which bear upon stadents as stud
ents.'
`Out' of our backyard of campus relationships
and contacts, we intend to interpret; express, and
lead student thought' along avenues which hub on
student interest, _activity,. and future. If we be
lieve we are right, we will hit hard. If we are
wrong,. we will admit our error. Our mistakes
may be plenty, our policies varied, but we will
be consistent in one thing: we Will present a stud
ent outloOk with no attempt to outguess . the -ex
perts. They do enough guessing themselves.
"Prompted by the , present Uncertainty and
bound by a dark future, we will consider it• our
dtity to analyze a little more judiciously,.dare to
do with a bit more imaginaAion, and look to the
future with a little more youthful enthusiasm.
."What shall we praise tomorrow? What shall
we attack? What side shall we take? We don't
know! But one thing is certain. Dispelling the
adage that a new broom sweeps clean, we will
cling to a Simple action-provoking keynote adopt
ed last year. It asserts, Tor A Better Penn State.' "

Letters to: the Editor—
Smyser Counsel's
New-Edit Staff
To The Editor:
With each new year land each
new editor,, Collegian turns wine
new political .color—little Matter
whether it be red, white and bite
or a shade of pink. (IncidentallY,
who's to say. there. is . ' anything
wrong with pink these days?) •
In Meg, years, what the oiler'
was didn't Matter' nearly. so •rtiueh .
as whether there was any calor' a -
Or, to put it differently', what'
student§ though was not 'so 'irnport•
ant' as-the elemental fact that they
should be thinking. .Thinking is
what makes deinOcracy. thrive.
But, today,. When it is hard to
avoid thinking about.politics, what
is thouglvbecoines more and more
important.
It is 'important now that our
thinking should be clear and based
upon a knowledge of our national
situation.
That situation demands unity on
the international front. • .
We wotildn'tediritt4t a year ago.
Perhaps we will all agree- today
that the United StateS iS• at•AVar.
We 'have cast the die; and we are
past the' point Where we- can any
longer delay the defense•effort air
debating'•Whether our course is
wise or Wrong.. • .• • .
The. President has placed: us ir
retrievably in opposition- to Nazi
dolt and-..the - only. peace we can
gain - now . short . of: victory is de
feat. .
'The kind of thinking• that will
sabotage • the defer see effort—no
matter hoW sincere. it' May glehas
come tbo late' coriies .noW;
• We • are no: lOngef faced:iivith the
alternatiVes of going, to. war or not
going. „to war: Then, was the , tine
to dehate. Now we are , at • war:
And' the: alternatives • are victory
and defeat,
For' goad Americans, there can
be only orie - choice 'there:
We are seeing- how
. disunity in
Europe is helping to 'weaken- and
may' 'defeat Nazi Germany: • Why
should* we encourage' any - similar
disunity to defeat ointeives?
That is why what we think and
what we say on the international
situation are so important today,
particularly . what we say in the
classroom, and 'what we say in
print. - . • .
If is entirely possible that if we
now avail. ourselves as unitintirig-
IY as we have in the past-Of our
