Bdlf Wednesday, January "7, 1942 A Nw’Year’s We -raise our -glass for a New Year’s toast . . . to a changed wdria. To American students, who ’«re now treading the tight-rope 6'f uncertainty, -we offer another toast ... to their adventure and destiny. -;We are men of destiny. Before this war -is over, -we will tramp the Toads to Burma, Libya, ; !Rome, .’Berlin, and sail the .seven seas. Before the pen is proved mightier than the -sword, mil lions of tis will : be -costly tokens of peace. We will barter our lives for the right 'to international justice and peace. Because the birth struggles of freedom are long and laborious, we will sacrifice and sacrifice again for the establishment of ha new era, a better gen- eration, This year, America willlbok upon herself with amazement. She will see 'Students, mill hands, ■ farmers, politicians, ministers, and laborers re making and remolding the America of yesterday. •She will see them march into battle with fear in •their hearts, the hate of war in their, eyes, but the spirit--of democracy 'propelling their hands -and fedt. She Will watch a democracy, Which has -built its principles ';upon the peaceful -harmony 'of -liv ing together,' tear ferociously at the temams of -the Japanese empire and ’batter the last Tam ufparts ;«f Krtleristic totalitarianism. She wall bb .. serve a clumsy, loosely-combined, easy-going ’na tion consolidate itself -into the smoothest arid largest 'production ’unit ‘of war materials arid efficient personnel that the world ’has -ever real ized. America will tie a nation in transition and she will :see her men of destiny trading old ideals for new ones. We minute men .have 'been ‘taught a lesson, a lesson which began with ithe unfair *«iess of the' Versailles treaty, the acknowledge -wient that force must be met by force, and 'the ■realization that peace is prevalent only when -the entire human race is tempered with a peace ful motive. We toast the changing America; an America -which now believes that in order to preserve democracy she must organize resources against which challenge to defeat : fts spirit. We, as -students, do 'not drink toasts to the War. The destruction of human life is and always will be a •4ast resort Of democratic living. JBUt, inf the -round table is overthrown iby those who believe that the sword lean loutbattld the ipen, then we -j*nust use the sword. But, above all, we toast the men'Of •deStiriy ~ . the Student, professor, ditdhdigger, farmer, toil rworkor,' foundry worker,. and the doctor. 'They -believe that America is a woman Whose hedrt ‘■stoeats with an -understanding of the ddeats-idf the . individual arid .society, who sincerely - ■in the democratic Way ! of life, and Who iconstaritly • seeks-to grasp tflie rmpllwitiions.ipbssiEiilities, and dangers. in ‘the economic, sdciafl, p&fitical, and .•moral''forces now Operating in the national and world crisis. We men of destiny , will change .the World, and. .'ourselves. We will fight fist for fist,- bayonet for ' battleship for battleship, -gas for. gas, -army for army, and hate it. • But we-will and win. .We Will struggle, for the -weak.be •eause we are weak; arid we Will battle for die individual and his rights, because We are in dividuals. Finally, we Will, die, some of us, for democracy, -iiot for the word “democracy M or the goVErnment . -Which upholds democracy, but because we are -democracy itself . . . and if we lose, all We possess ■and cherish is lost also. This is ho Pollyannish propaganda, it is the core, the center of our Some of us will fall, some will falter, (but our American principles will live on. ... a toast to the fighting forces of today and the men of destiny tomorrow.

Acres Of Diamonds:, It’s always nice to get back from a long siesta and see who got drafted, who- enlisted, and who had flat feet, but we were in-rib wisb - prepared for the avalanche of sparkling gems that de scended upon the comely lasses from Mab, Ather ton,and Grange. Among those who ’went right from the jewelers to the church around the corner were' Marie Lawrence, kappa,- who middle-aisled it ’with Frank Zunibro ’4O, and Harriet Stubbs who took phi kappa sig Armstrong for better or for worse. Then too, there was that popular couple, Bob Wilson and Poggy Waddell, the meanies, -who kept their October marriage a Secret. Jane Berkebile “yessed” Charley Slep, phi psi, and now wears a diamond; and the postman rang twice ’to deliver a ring from the boyfriend in California. It came as quite a surprise, too, we are told, and may be shipped back. A riiere transfer of fraternity pins takes a backseat in view of the above major leagues, but the world must know that Perkie MacLellan now has Bed Caputo’s phi kappa tau jewelry. And Jane “Twinkle Toes’’ Minnich accepted Jerry Heisler’s pin just before vacation. Lila Whoolery was pinned by a delt from Penn;- Elsie Rodth, alpha chi o, is engaged to spe Milt -Kuhn; and Ginny Berkhouse married sae Dave. Patriotic Penn Staters: A couple defense-conscious enterprising - local •boys :got a bright idea over vacation; After hear irig rail the dope .on what-to-do-in-a'-boiribing, ' they went out, bought thernselves a few barrels of good bid Allegheny River sand, and putting it up in convenient little sacks, 'they started out. Knocking at the door, they displayed the, sand bags to the 'housewives with the following-line: “Madame, you no doubt have -heard- the broad casts arid warnings of air raids that may come to our fair city in the near future. The Defense council 'has arranged for theSe sand bags to be distributed to all homes for the small fee of 50 cerits. They are the only effective way of com batting an incendiary bomb that may brim your -home to the ground if not checked in time?’ They cleaned up a tidy little sum. - ‘StiMeiits Favor Bombing japan, Survtey Indicates AUSTIN, Texas, January '6—The great ma jority of -American college students is ready for the U.
