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.

Ye ed has iust phoned me up to remind me that
vacation is now over and to put my Christmas
toys away and start annoying the .public again
so here goes.
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

AUSTIN, Texas, January '6—The great ma
jority of -American college students is ready for
the U. S. air force to bomb Japanese cities, the
latest national spoil of Student Opinion Surveys
of:America reveals.

got underway, about the advantages and disad
vantages of -dropping explosives over .civilian

■ The problems involved in singling out military
objectives, -of the-geographical difficulties of at
tacking the Japanese Islands from the air, are,
-of course, not taken up in this survey. All that
is reflected is the general attitude of college stud

corps prefer college-trained men, are. the po
