America is slowly freeing herself from 4ev )aduced lethargy ; but she was not awakened by tie usual herald, the robin. She was roused by the harsh boom of guns off the coast of Java. This is a new Spring. It will be no lazy awalc (ming. Guns will roll hastily to the far corners of civilization, will plant themselves behind rap -3dlY-dtig ombanktnents, and will hurl their loud .shells of destruction .to open the first of a long series of Spring war ..campaigns.- . With Spring comes ,awareness. With Spring, ; . 3o poets intimate, comes the rebirth of senses and ..new perceptions. This spring the harsh sounds of 'war cries will drown : out these forces and it Will . usher in the uncongenial hosts' 9f -"hell and ahpils." .This Spring 'marks the opening of a "death-to ..death" struggle of world powers._ With 'winter snows disappearing, defeat - stares :ihe I.Tnited States in the -face. We, cannot calmly depend upon our superior natural reseurces to ,outlast ;the Axis. reserves. Theyst.cpm ,to be • drawing upon mythical supplies. 'We .cannot sit in our trundle beds and smile at our power. That " lower has proved to be impotent. ' We must wake up! The destroying of 13 'Unit- Nations warships at Java broke the . calm of winter sleepiness and jarred us Americans out of our beds. . Now we can see that long supply line to Australia broken; we are watching the infiltration of Japanese troops from Singapore .south to Java; we suddenly realize the retreat of !:he British to new defense positions in Burma; we •anxiously scan the reports that Hitler's famous • Panzer divisions have not lost too much ground in Russia and have rested their main fighting units in winter quarters for their great Spring offensive; we see strikes impede jAmerican pro . duction and halt the life-lines to the Philippinies; we notice civilians taking defense jobs lightly and refusing to cooperate in air-raid drills; we count endless thousands of laborers while-collar 'workers, business men, fraternity brothers, and roommates casually picking up funny -papers, leaving front pages unread, and discounting front page headlines which state that America is in a more serious situation than she has ever bee,n; we look at our friends laughing at the headlines _and calling the war, "Nothing for us to Worry about until we're in it." . With Spring comes ,awareness. We hope .so! We repeat that the awareness of America and her reolponsibilities and dangers will come only when 'her people forget the "gimme" phrase. The war drums are beating. Maybe the .4kneri- Qan people haven't heard them. Maybe we stu dents will wait until the war drums are pounding at our back door. Maybe it will be too late. The war drums are coming closer. Will we hear Them in time? Will we be awake from our win iier slumber? Spring is here, and with it, the answer. Rain or Apathy? True, it was raining last night .. . Much more •ooinfortable to sit in easy chairs by the fire than traipse up to some meeting in Old Main. But when that meeting offers the student body its an ly opportunity to survey and contribute to its !newly revised constitution, it seems too bad that •at*.• four students attended. But more disheart ctung than this was the presence last night of seven Cabinet members. Ap:.thy—student government's worst enemy! 111111M11111111111111111111111111111t11111111111111111111111111milmummilomminium inowininiuminumiuminimmommitumummoilumminifillom Hi Ho, Lackaday • . • • . .
