Mar.tiprinsr Editor This Issue News Editor This Issue Women's Editor Tins Issue Graduate Counselor Friday, April 3, 1942 Get Up, America! Shakespeare was right. The world is a stage translated into a huge theatre of war. Any mis cue by a single actor in this world drama will throw the remaining actors ofi balance. The proposed compromise and the bitter dis pute between the All-India Congress and Great Britain hse imperiled the United 'States and its own operation in total war effort as completely us it has imperiled the British Empire itself. These long-range guns of internal dispute not only pound at the vitals of our Allies, but they also blast at the strength of the United States. And it is easy to point out the mistakes and mal adjustments of other nations; while we make a (Sorry mess of our own wartime program. Our lax exercise of our democracy and our smug self-satisfaction has hurt /us. The United States and our vast war machine are getting underway with the ponderous caterpillar tread of a steam roller. Labor disputes and split leg islatures, which appiease instead jjf dominate, put them carts before our horses to‘ encourage and •stimulate Nazi propaganda agents. This complacency, equal to the days of the old Roman empire, halts the defense of valiant Bur ma. British, Chinese, and American soldiers feel (the deadly sting of an American labor strike as •readily as the delay in the Indian freedom move ment. The spinning top of world conflict whirls on an individual base. No longer is war between nations a war of professional soldiers. The bat tle of nations now blasts the bodies of dough boys who may have been butchers, 'bakers, or candiestickmakers. War reaches into the home of the rich man and takes the sugar from his table a!nd steals the tires from a salesman who depends upon his car to make a living. It creeps on to college campuses, nabs future doctors, lawyers, engineers, and economists. It pays no attention to their so-called “destiny.” War transplants students and makes “martyrs of destiny.” War demands only one thing: sacrifice. Through sacrifice it builds a solid apex of destruction. One tiny unit along the line of distribution can tear down the entire structure. America and its varied interests, its complex units, is as busy- as .-Great Britain in the coordination of its war ef forts. Our nation fails to move swiftly in its war program through a lack of direction, a lack of concentration of motives and purposes. Our campus is not a basic unit of the American war program, but it is essential. The College plays its part in the world theatre of war. It is ■one of the humble stagehands, but it is needed to perform a job. So far, we have been sleeping behind the backdrops. What is our job? As studfents, as a faculty, as administrators, we must arouse from ■ our of.f ntaige snooze and meet our responsibilities. We must conserve, throw every energy into wartime efforts, take a realistic look at our capabilities and utilize them where the utilizing is good. We are still hiding our heads behind the “vale of old Mt. Nittanv.” We refuse to believe that our apathy and reluctance to regard this war— our war— as a serious and all-encompassing btisj.. ness is as harmful to our Burma defenders as the Indian peace controversy. “Wake un.

But the plumber was just herte fixing up the water pipes for the Baptists over in the Harlem section and he says things are pretty bad down in that State Collegte extension. • “Gabe,” he said., “them professors are havin’ a terrible time. they expected the Exodus today, but it’s kind of hard lecturing to a room with one feller in it who ain’t listening. One prof said he don’t mind lem pulling out their watches, but it gets his goat to have them put the darn things up to their ears to see if they’re going.” “Nah, Gabe,” said the plumber, “last week I was in chapel and they only got up to the second hymn and this fellow says to his import: ‘You think if we give him the money now he’ll let us go out?’ Right in the middle of the chaplain’s Lingnan speech, too.” I’m telling you, Lord, you’ve got to give some attention to that place.- It’s going to Hell. I saw a freshman ask Dean Warnock for an ex cuse for today. The dean asked him if he was going to attend a place of worship over the weekend. “Yeah,” says the kid, “I’m on my way to See her now”’ Lord, you can’t run an ex tension like that. I told the camel about it, and he said he hasn’t been able to squeeze through the needle’s eye for a Penn State student since the chapel fund vote. “I gotta get over to the East Side,” said the plumber. “They gotta new cherub called Ran dolph Morgan Montgomery Alfred Van Christo pher McGoof, and they need some more water. I was talkin’ to a Methodist yesterday an’ I told him I didn’t like his church government because it had too much machinery in it. He said: ‘Yeah, but it don’t fake near so much water to run it.’ I guess they all got tWeir points.” That’s the trouble with that extension, Lord. They’ve been criticizing a lot of religions this week over this holiday business. It seems sort of silly to get sore at somebody over something they didn’t start. I guess that administration just didn’t see fair enough this time. Well, here comes the Daily Collegian’s new senior board, and the camel’s stuck®again. “Bui Tyrone Power can't lake you lo The Corner" Through The Needles Eye ■Yours truly in Hell, —GABRIEL iiiiiiiiiii!iii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirT:iiiiiniiiiii Campus Calendar iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii TODAY All-College Extemporaneous Entries accepted at intramural Speaking Contest eliminations ahd office for intramural soccer and semi-finals, 7:30 p. m. mushball. .
