Not For Glory
This .will be a ,long war.
President Roosevelt, in his speech Tuesday
tiight, warned America to prepare for a hat'd and
long .siege. Jfe. .called. dppn, J&e. nation, fo,ftpipvr
all its .rpspurpes into. J?u iMftyg a w ar ,f,rpnt which
can withstand the .blitzkriegs df tfhe .Nazis.
In establishing a sound war machine which will
compactly endure the .onslaught pf bur enemies,
the colleges of the United States will play an
important part.. From the .cpllpges the nation
•wiil ■,sxsyr its ne,w WP.SPpns, its .coordination .pi
yast resources, and the training of social and
economic. leaders.
Because of the threat of a long war, colleges
must , plan to operate on a pre-war basis—that of
educating,men to direct the nation’s war industry.
These men most step into .jrnpprtant positions
to aid the ‘‘war of tomorrow.”
..Not pnly must the nation prepare physically
for the.long war, but.it must train its manpower
for increasing production of ships, tanks, and air
planesr Colleges must turn out men who ajre
capable of confidently stepping into industry to
speed up ; production. These m'en. must have not
only factual knowledge, but they must be able to
plan and, foresee the needs of the w.ar.
Th|e nation recognizes the need pf cpllege
trained men in its war program. Our country
can easily find a boy for the trenches but she
runs .up against a stone wall when there is a
lack of chemists to supply the. gunpowder or a
need for petroleum research men to help con
serve the oil supply.
" Colleges, in a few months, will begin to find a
scarcity in men students—students who believe
that they must tenter the jvar now. These stud
ents whp .leave will mean more to the “yvar ,pf
tomorrow” as chemists, engineers, and petroleum
engineers than-five of their kind in .the trenches.
What they don’t realize is that there ate men
needed to fight the war behind the-trenches.
No man wants to be called a coward. No man
Wants to be called a quitter. On the other hand!
no man .likes ..to-be terndgd a fppl. And “he is a
fool whp chaoses to serve ,his .country, his .own
way.”
Penn f-ltate is considered one of the key .defense
•units of:the nation. Penn State offers more re
search and , .defense training to industry than
probably .any. pther college. .It’s .extension serv
ice alonte jis responsible fpr .pjaie-weventh of > the
total national .program and this year’s services
will train approximately SOAPO men in national
defense work for industry.
' Penn State needs its students. According tp
President flalph .p. iHetzpl, “Th e ‘b.sst .spbg .col
leges .can do is . maintain a normal 'To
act impulsively at : this,time, np matter;ihow.npibie
the motive, might do morej .harm-than .good.
This is the time to keep our heads, to work ser
ipusly .at pur given assignments, and by .doing
so guarantee .our..unity, .strengthen .OW dfltapfc, and
assure the. preservation .of the .democratic way.”
We say, “If .Uncle Sam wants .you tp fight in
the trenches, in the air, or at sea, y.pu ! li get your
chance to fight for glory. Until ..then, if y.ou
must fight, fight for national defense.”
Plug!
Elections are meant to be democratic. Some
times, we wonder if they aren’t autocratic. The
mural voting, which decides the dispensation of
three class funds, was so Light yesterday that
hardly more than 100 votes were cast. Even a
hardened politician would shudder at that num
ber. It’s easy to say yes or no.
