in the summer than in the winter,
in the day than at night, and in
warm climates then in cold ones.”

ahead with his normal life until
his exact status is known,” he said.
Major Cleveland, who came to
the College about two weeks ago,
urged students to consult their lo
cal draft boards for definite infor
mation concerning the possibility
of deferments.
He said that to the best of his
knowledge local boards will follow
the same policy in regard to occu
pational deferments until they get
definite instructions from state or
national headquarters.
iMr. Morse said that students
should not enroll in college if they
know they will probably be called
before the middle of the next
semester. He also asked students
to consult their local boards.
He pointed out. that there is a
draft committee in each school on
the campus and that these com
mittees are prepared to help stu
dents with individual problems. _
•Chairmen of these school com
mittees are as follows:
Agriculture, 'Dr. J. Ben Hill;
Chemistry and Physics, Dean
Frank C. Whitmore; Education, Dr.
Clifford C. Adams; Engineering,

Our Chins Will Be
Definitely ‘Up’
It’s too late now. Anti-war
and isolationist editorials are de
finitely a thing of the phst. Re
membering that “England expects
every American to do his duty,”
that even Senator Wheeler and the
Chicago Tribune cry, “All out for
America,” that Eleanor Roosevelt
asks us to be brave, we women
will fall into our usual war-time
role.
Sunday night coeds sat huddled
together listening to radio reports
and speculating what all this will
mean to us. We gulped our lunch
yesterday to listen to the presi
dent’s speech. We went to classes
and did assignments feeling that
it was wrong to continue the old
routine. Because there is no al
ternative, we will be building a
new routine for our lives.
We will kiss the boys goodby
with a smile; we’ll knit and make
Red Cross bandages; we’ll write
every day and send boxes of food
and cigarettes. We’ll, do more
than that—we’ll learn how to
work in factories, drive ambu
lances, and maybe even how to
kill people. Our chins, though
trembling, will be strictly “up.”
We’ll do all this not because
we want to, not because we hate
the Japs, not because we like ex
citement and the glory of war.
We’ll do it i because we want to
make it as easy as possible for the
boys who will be leaving.
There’s something else we can
do too—not for the' boys who will
fight this war, but for the ones
who twenty or thirty ye firs from
now will have to fight another
one, unless we start now to pre
vent it. We can keep our com
mon sense, our inherent hatred of
destruction. 'We can keep our
selves well informed and draw
our own conclusions as to the
value of killing thousands of men
to avenge the loss of a few islands
ahd several hundred lives. We can
consider solutions for the problem
when it arises again.
We will do our duty, of course;
but let us do it intelligently and
with no hysterical patriotism.
Perhaps if we are practical
enough, we ‘can avoid sending our
sons into the, third world war a
couple of. decades from now.

Omega, at dinner tonight.

should realize that they are here to
get an education, not just a diplo
ma.
“(By handing out diplomas to all
seniors who withdraw we would
cheapen and almost make of no
value the thing we are giving to
students.”
He stated that the faculty should
Understand the difficulty of con
tinuing in an entirely normal man

.try to do as well as possible in or
der to be able to “show an educa

President Hetzel said there will
be no changes in student regula
tions because of unsettled condi
tions. He added, however, that
changes, might be made if conduct
does not stay within normal
bounds.
He revealed that there is no
chance 'that another Students’

first World War, he said, theSATC

(The SATC was organized here

In reply to a question concerning
changes in academic study, he re
plied that the College hasn’t con
sidered any revisions. and that no
changes are contemplated.
He also said there will be no
marked changes in ROTC instruc

“There has been jio indication of
this,” the President added, "except
a gradual increase in .the number
of students accepted, for advanced
training.” ' " 7^/
At the request of a - student
President Hetzel compared the
current situation with that existing
at the beginning of the first .World
War. ' ...
“The situation • • was different
then in that people didn’t realize
the country was so-close to. war,”
he said. “When war came, excite

intense. We now have better, plans
and there is no occasion for a'vio
