There are so many demands upon students by :sorted defense agencies and committees which teem overwhelining that students' backs are be 4;inning to bend under the strain. This is, at ',east, the popular dethand. We differ. The demands are no greater than lihe situation. Because the multiple requests create confusion and pocket-digging, we are eas ily tired and uneasy whenever approached for vn additional contribution. We must look at this war from a selfish view point We want to end the war as soon as pos- Oble, chiefly to - save our own ne'ckS: The win , 7 : 4 4x.ing-pflhe Way, some .say, is picebinblislied with kitcirnbs,-aild military strategy. We disagree again. • Military strength is based • not only upon its aterial resources, but also upon the spirit and 'aorale of its soldier, its organization in the thea rtre of war, its energy which is created in the back t)one of its people, and the will of its personnel win. A War is conducted successfully by all Imits of defense, which means the factory work the miner, the engineer, and the student. The student is the least tangible unit of Uncle Sam's defense line. He may either become an important cog in the war efforts, by use of his Imowledge in actual combat or as a technical as g;istant in the nation's back trenches, or he may become a useless drone seeping the strength of S. he country's war-time bee hive. • The student in college cannot die for his coun ry. He may resent that. The student may feel handicapped because he is accused of inactive p;..ss while many of his comrades are sacrificing their lives. He may feel the pressure of public t;pinion. This cannot be avoided. A line cannot be drawn where a student can 1;a called a slacker or a "bulwark of defense." This must be left to the individual. As President Illalph D. Hetzel said recently, "Our place inedu cation is of such major importance that it is an .s - sigfiment in the line of duty. It should be clearly understood tt).at this assignment is as vital .1:o the war program of the nation as is assign )nent to its military or naval units. The army till call you when it is ready." However, we Mal,itain that the student"'S obli :c;ation does not stop with his remaining in college. It begins. The energy of a war machine is de -I:ermined solely by the energy of its lowest unit. :As students, our defense efforts help gage the flow the nation's war energies. Our necks, if we want to keep them, must be saved by a coordin :Ation of these war energies. Our energies? They can be dire6ted by con -I,Libuting some of our time in defense courses, 4. - lonating a pint of our blood, contributing toward the Red Cross, helping the emergency Loan Fund, : , nd aiding campus projects. Dne of the most worthwhile projects appears 'ne the Thespian Mobile Units, which will en ei thousands of army men in Pennsylvania •!1(.1 nearby army posts.

That Woman Again: After a particularly vicious week out at the teke house, the wearied frosh and pledges de cided to conduct a •Post-Hell Revolution, which they did. During • the process 'of providing all the brothers with a cooling bath, one Brother Timothy North departed for parts unknown. After jumping a few fences, Tommy plunged . into a convenient dog house. It was a large dog house. The dog was home He was a large dog and rather discomforted at entertaining such an un expected guest, even though he was a teke. And that, kiddies; is the tale behind the facial abra sions and scratches on little Timothy North. One of the local gags cooked up for the sigma pi pledges called for each lad to go 200 miles away from State College and in the opposite direction from - his home. One guy was lucky. He got a ride right off the bat with a truck driver who would take him the whole way. All was well until he woke twelve hours later in—of all plates—South Carolina..

Campy - The Prophet May it please ray public if I do a bit of gloating over the prognostication made in this colyum last year concerning Torn Henson's appointments to IF Ball committee. Now that this "I told you so" has worked out so beautifully, maybe we'll utilize the old crystal ball some more this semester. "Alus:t he Corner Rot )in line!" Grade Reports Involve Work Grade reports the tetl-t a 1 e chart of a student's academic ac tivity—will be available at the reg istrar's office tomorrow morning, Registrar William S. Hoffman an nounced yesterday. Four transcripts are turned out for each student. One goes to the dean of the school in which he is registred, one to his advisor, one to his parentS, and one for himself. This, the registrar explained, means 29,000 reports. - The registrar gets an .appropi ation of $754 for the job of com piling the grade reports, or abdut 2.6 cents per grade sheet. The graphic reports, which •are a mystery to most parents, are compiled at a cost of a little over 10 cents per student, not including postage. A mistake can be made, Mr ; Hoffman stated, in compiling them. However, with the four sheets, the chances of correcting the error are pretty good. • The College uses a blueprint system to copy the grades, and no mistakes can be made there. Penn State was the third college to utilize the system. Riding Fees Due At SU For consideration in the second semester schedule riders and ap plicants for membership in . the Penn State Riding Club should pay fees and get riding tickets .at Student' "Onion, it was announced last night. Fees for this semester for new. members will be $l5, one-tiiird of which will serve as the appli cant's interest in the horses and equipment. Old members may get tickets ~for, s.lq, which will entitle them td 20 hours of riding. A ichedule of instruction per iods was arranged. with classes each Monday and Wednetday night at the Stock, Judging Pav ilion. Officers elected last night for the semester were Eugene S. Stull '43, president, Norman B. Fox '43, vice-president, and Ra chel McMaster '42, secretary.
