Managing Editor This Issue Editor This Issue __ Women's Editor This Issue Ordinate Counselor Saturday, April 11, 1942 A New Campaign With a serious scrap iron shortage threatening America’s steel industry, Penn State can do its part in a small way by salvaging several land marks that have little traditional value. On campus, there are several mounted cannons that serve no purpose other than their decorativ'e value. This same situation may be found in hundreds of towns and cities throughout the na tion, and there is definite reason to believe that •inany of these Civil War relics could be used to great advantage in winning the present watr. This is only a suggestion—but it is a sugges tion with great potential strength. Within the fiext two days, the proper College authorities could decree that the cannon should be salvaged for use as vital scrap iron. This action could be followed with a general feature story explaining Penn State’s newest contribution to national de fense. The story could be sent from the College publicity office to all parts of Pennsylvania, where newspapers may use it as an incentive to ward similar action in their own particular area. • The idea is not a new one. Many towns have already initiated this plan, and a little more drive in the right direction may cause others to fall In line. Since the College’s publicity re leases have befen used quite extensively by Penn sylvania newspapers, it is an assumption that a story about Penn State salvaging old cannon may go a long way. But, liefore any benefit can be realized from this plan, the College must take the initial step and scrap the cannon. The Collegian has drop ped a hint, and will watch with interest as the administration considers the plan. Let’s Wait A While Everyone is talking, but generally it isn’t about the war. Campus idealists, who are intimately concerned with what we must do after the war, usually say nothing about the present. How are we going to get from war to peace? Cbrtainly •not through thinking entirely about the future. Defense forums attempt to tell us what our jobs will he after we win -this war. Instead of looking to the future in wartime, we should pay -♦nore attention to the present. However, students have no opportunity to con sicfer the present with such fm-ums as “After the War —What?” This is only one example. There are many more such forums, many of them in defense, too. Students are not taking advantage of the Pres ent to solve their problems. They are “asleep at the switch.” Studies mean little or nothing to some students because they forecast that the ifrmed forces will spell their doom. Since war has broken out, increasing careless ness has been reported in College classes. Do we want to be slackers? Why shouldn’t we buckle down to the tasks of educating our ,".elves while we have the time to do it? The time is growing short. Isn’t it logical to concern ourselves with talk about the present, about the efforts we can push ahead to help our armed forces, about running our own private economic affairs within the •shadows of war? Campus defense forums do not fill the gaps between our present life and our future. We are only interested in winning this war. We are the ones who will also solve the problems of post-war. But let’s wait until we have an op portunity to solve them. Robert 13. Kintor .—Larry T. Chervennk Mary Janet Winter Louis H. Bell —lt. E.
