New Calendar The latest revision of the College calendar, rmcentration of summer courses, has as one of announced purposes: "Students will be able core conveniently to leave the College for 'the , rriled services ... at tie end of each three-week • In substance, that is one of the main benefits x i ,thich individual students who are registered for 'Pie draft will derive from the general speed-up fif the schedule. Not only will they be able to graduate sooner than usual but local draft boards taay recognize the obvious fact that the College 5:7, cooperating with the government as fully as it 413 fai and, for that reason, be more willing to grant rhort deferments or postponements to college stu.; 'dents. , • This is ,not as improbable as it may seem. A J ill asking for the deferment of seniors until ,r,raduation has been introduced in Congress. ffmy -pver, it has not been reported out of committee elnd likely never will be. 'because selective serv ice officials do not want to add to the mass of )egislation which already envelopes the draft and Aile.ca,use they do not want to appear to be unduly I;upporting one limited group of registrants. This does not mean that students are to be call k' without consideration for their position. Draft 3irector Lewis B. Hershey is reported•. to have id recently that, although new regulations ;,nould not be put into effect, students maw expect cmsiderate treatment o? their cases, not blanket )%:21usals. For the same reasons that national officials are opposed to new legislation, those at state head otiarters refuse to instruct Pennsylvania boards to be lenient. However they,too, state that the i-;:celerated program of the College should in tuence draft boards in favor of students. .Despite criticism, .fault-finding, and complain :Dog against it the Selective Service System oper :,tes in the best fashion known. Doesn't it seem iiogical that it recognizes the fact that college men -will be of more value to America if they are ,al 4, - )wed to complete their education instead of hay jug it abruptly broken off? That, of course, is .Mating conditions as they cue in general, and in theory. In actual operation, .1:1 - iey are often far different; sometimes draft inoards aren't considerate, aren't . lenient, aren't •as higher officials have planned. Nevertheless, students should still expect to have their cases giVen full attention. And they iiay help themselves if they point out to their )ocal boards what the College has done.• At i•-:ast, it won't hurt to do so. just A Chandelier Art at Penn State is well on its way to a new era, but there are still some clouds of the old era ranging around. Just gaze at that old chande lier hanging from the ceiling in front of the Land Grant Mural in Old Main. It definitely detracts from the mural itself. The strange thing about the whole affair is tbat it :iould easily be removed by the proper College kuthorities. The only difficulty that would be e-ncountered is the necessary new lighting system. should be a simple matter for College en- leers has been nearly two years since Henry Var )ano Poor completed his first section of the mural, '»ut nothing has been done about the chandelier •.`.hicn obscures the obselver's view of the figure I do !oln from the entrance of Old Main. 111111iilillli11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111i1111111111M11111111 1111111 - The Faculty Says ... 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111j11111111111111111111111111111111.11111111111111111111111111 1 1 1 On a recent Sunday morning in State College a minister made a - statement which -bas been echoing in my mind ever since. He said, in ef- • feet, "The chprch does not need to assert its pa • . • • • • triotism in this war.situation.. That may be taken for granted. The 0140 has alWays cooperated in - the - furtherance. of. the pelicies of the geyern : ment; it may •be assumed . that it will do so now.': That-statement may be applied to all of us wbo are citizens of, a democracy.. It goes without assertion that we will cooperate with our govern 7 _Edith L. Smith meat. Whether we agree 'with its decisions or not, we accept the expressed will of•.the majority. But we need not rush into some. feverish activity of patriotic helpfulness before there is any plan for utilizing our best ahilities. Louis. H. Bell The war is likely to last for some time. During that time better and better planning is going to be necessary if our way of life is to survive spiritually and economically. To be able to plan wisely, it is necesary to think, not to jump blind ly into anything so long as it is action. The people who are planning :now are getting older; they will be tired, perhaps, before the war ends. Then the younger gereotion will have to be ready, not only-with fresh energy, but withh-vVell trained minds - .and . disciplined emotions Which. can be relied upon under the strain of responsi bility. We have confidence enough in the adininistra tioxi of the College to believe that the speeding-up of the program is the wisest way to meet present needs. That speeding-lip means - crowding into. less than three years the living you expected to do in four. There will be less and less time for' everything we'vle been accustomed to. 'in these next months or years, less time for thinking, for achieving considered viewpoints. Yet in relatively detached and sheltered life here there . is more time for thought than there is b the world of action in which great numbers of Americans are caught. If we are tr practice democracy we must take the trouble now to learn to criticize constructively existing national policies and to co operate in trying to change those we consider undesirable or harmful. Because we are involv ed in war it does not follow that we must be blindly loyal to our chief administrators. In stead we should be trying to understand their problems and learning to express our earnest opinions in such a way that those administrators will be able to judge what the people for whom they act desire. Various college officials have advised you to keep on with your present job of learning instead of trying to be of immediate service to your coun try—the nation will let you know when you can use your knowledge for national purposes. . -J.
