Whitey Graduate Counselor Friday, March 6, 1942 :Foot• Catchers "We throw to you the torch" may have been a good high school cry of inspiration, but it is also the battle-cry of war. Thousands of soldiers as they leave the ranks of civilian life throw their torch of sadrifide to others, who in turn, must step into the ranks of Uncle Sam's army. This business 'of war has ;made the torch-throwing a rapid-fire procession. But, we students are poor catchers. In fact, the spirit of sacrifice is missing from the war voca bulary of the nation, and particularly from our. campus. We are on the edge of the W&-torn world,. a little more re,moved from actual combat most Men. We are isolated from the nation's war efforts, rind are talrdy in awaVe.ning to the full peril that .?.onfronts us. We don't know what sacrifice is, and we don't care. Our valley of Mt. Nittany is ;:afe, we think, from bombing and we won't look "beyond the vale" before we are plucked to join' one of Uncle Sam's torch brigades. We have been badly beaten in three months of war. Our backs have been light from luxur ious living, and we refuse to take on the added burden of war. It may be possible that in three more months of warfare, the packs may be thrown on our backs by a less democratic means. This time the danger of defeat will be blazing before our eyes and we will be told instead of asked. We have been asked to save rubber. We pro crastinate. We have been asked to buy defense !.?onds. We turn our pockets inside out with a shrug of the shoulder. We have been asked to :gave paper, conserve raw materials. We waste them. .We have been asked to work more and ask less. We complain r Now the lanes of coffiWittnicE,ltion from San '.Francisco to the Dutch Indies are still clogged after three months of warfare. Supplies cannot reach General MacArthur. Men cannot be trans ported fast enough to close the breach in the Java .end Burma battleground. Planes are being turn iad out, but not fast enough. The American peo ple are still smoking their cigars, striking for more pay, grabbing money needed for artna meats, allowing fifth columnists to soften their war attitudes, and slowing up armament produc tion, In Corregidor, a small group of men are an •tiously scanning the skies for air relief, and watching the seas hopelessly for transports. The Supplies will come, probably too late, because .American sea power and air power cannot con nect its supply bases in a 6,000 mile chain. This chain depends upon the American people, their ability to turn out planes, ships, ammuni tion, and men. The chain depends upon stu dents, Americans who are willing to sacrifice. The sacrifices must not come from the "gimme" urge but from an awakened America, and awak ned students. The torch-throwing act is t , ,n idealistic one, but also a practical one, because it !iignififes a desire to eliminate the petty, selfish ,- .reeds in a crisis where Unity is imperative. Nittany tnay be a temporary haven, but it also a Shangvi La', where men walk in and )001s will: 11 - Te we are not loot: o of toren-hearers."

We have a conviction that the student body has been snub bing those whom it has made "great" in the col lege, and we'd like to humbly submit that a per son can hold an extra-curricular office and still be a guy or gal who goes to classes and likes to tell the hot one he or, she just heard, too. Take Jeanne Stiles, for example. Pretty soon now, Jeany turns the whip over to the next head of Judicial. We fervently hope that her succes sor will not be the conscientious sucker that Jeanne was. We'd like to spank all the kids who make the head of Judicial into a bogeywoman that you have to pass primly in the Corner Room with a cool hello, be , :ause if you say anything nice, she might remember you for a campus. We have foulid Jeanne to be one or the damned few real people in this college, and we have wonder ed if the student body realizes what it does when it honors a student for capability, and then imme diately refuses to separate the human being from the office held. _David Samuels Paul Woodland Louis H. Bell Jimmy Leyden, Thespians' production manager, is another one. Maybe it's old man jealousy, but as soon as a guy gets his name in the Daily Colle gian •as having done something significant, like t having Waring play his tunes, the cats begin to howl instead of swinging out. Meanwhile, Ley den rolls along, quietly turning out the work that makes his particular organization Move along. We've chatted with this fellow, and we think he's pretty much like everybody else: a nice guy who'll _think a course if he doesn't stop writing tunes for Thespians and start writing them for classes, who is headed for the •army or navy with his sheep skin. There are those who are sad apples, as were Ray Leffler and Pat' Nagelberg, not-so-cordially disliked by most people. There are also some folks' who are in the grooye, like Jerry Doherty, who takes his girl's picture with him on debate trips; like the hypertensed editor of this sheet, who has fun getting his girl to show him how to jitterbug; like quiet Johnny Baer was before the army put him in a rut. We're not a press agent for any of these peoplN but we think that, before you get formal with the next person you meet with a high college office, you should try honor ing them by being human and interested, instead of by making them forgotten men and women of "fame."

This com mittee, Henson said, was operating under the provision of the code that was changed and so their de cisions are null and void. In a statement that seemed to surprise many of the Council's re presentatives; Henson added that the code was not in effect last week-end anyway, since it had not approved the minor changes of the Senate. Committee on Student Wel fare. Debate began when William F. Finn '42 proposed that IFC's juris diction end when properly ap proved Wednesday by the Senate Committee on Student Welfare which "disapproved mixed drink ing in fraternities at any time and on any occasion." As the code stands now it does not differ materially from the one in use last semester. The one new clause that formerly was in the new code, that regarding chaper oned mixed drinking, has now been stricken' out. A committee consisting of the members of the IFC Judiciary Committee, the chairman of the Association of Fraternity Coun selors, and the IFC president will approve chaperones. To end one of the longest IFC meetings on record, the executive committee announced that IFC elections will be held April 13. The nominating committee will submit candidates' names at the next meeting, Chewing gum costs Americans $50,000,000 annually—which is a lot of money to stick under chairs and tables. t”amp the boys are marching."
