The Daily Collegian rays goodbye this week to
its right arm, Managing Editor John A. Baer '42.
Baer is leaving Penn State, one semester short of
graduation, to join Uncle Sam's armed forces.
Baer, no different from hundreds of other Penn
State students, will have to wait until the war
is over to finish his college edification. Like
'other draftees from Penn State, Baer had hoped
'to complete his education, but Uncle Sam told
him 'he had a job to do." So, he is going to do
that. . •
We hate to see Baer go. His name becaine
known to campus leaders whenever there was "a
job to do" on campus. He became an import6ht
'Ellen behind - the scene.; at Penn State, as man
whose nettle did not hit the headlines, but one
•whose ideas were instruments for the frent-page
leaders. His name has come to mean soinething
to thern—soin'ething which few students re6.llzed.
His name means "depeildability" to us.
If there were an editorial column to fill a feW
minutes before deadline, and the editdr was busy
- I —it's "see Baer. He'll fill it." •
If there 'was a tough assignment 'to cover—some
:intricate campus problem to solve, or some re-
Rearch to be 'made, it was "call Baer. He won't
mind."
And he never did.
Baer, in a quiet, unpretentious way, reached
the heart of a campus problem, attacked= it with
tinselfish vigor, and received no credit' He knew
i)eforehand that his reward would be only the
satisfaction that he was capable of performing
Ltis task.
Now, Baer has slipped as quietly from Penn
Gtate as he. entered. He asked no favors,
:farewells, no gifts. He wanted none. -- And,. as a
•workman who finishes his task, packs his tools,
and moves away unnoticed, so did John Baer.
But his work still stands, and will stand in the
minds and hearts of-his Penn State friends
John would refuse any fanfare before his de
parture. We aren't g..ving him any. We are
:merely tipping our editorial hats and saying,
"So long, John!"

`Our Last Chance
This is our last chance!
Heartened by studert demand for a chance to
'iparticipate in•some kind of defense effort, the
College administration has thrown open its facul
ty Instruction for the Student Training for Civil
ian Defense courses.
Over 2,000 students indicated their desire to
bake these short courses which would require
about one hour every week. The College point
e3 out that it is offering these courses only be:
cause student demand was so great. They did
kiot want to bully, require, or request students to
rein up for training.
However, since such a large number of students
osked for the courses, the College spent approxi
).nately two months in shaping up at least 50
courses which would benefit us in pre-induction
i'craining and civilian defense measures. All of
this training is slanted toward practical applica
ii,lon.
Last night, over 500 of the 2,000 students regis
;tiered for the courses. Whether the remaining
r•tudents have changed their Minds, we do not
lamw. But, one thing is certain. The College
laas determined to use its facilities in cooperation
vith the "all-out" war-time efforts. Today, from
(i•io to 9:30 p. rn. is the tact day of rk. , ',istration,
rest is - .11) to us
