Managing Editor This Issue liCb/vvs Editor This Issue Women’s Editor This Issue G r vitiate Counselor Wednesday, April 15, 1942 Ain Important Request -. Within the coining week, all juniors, sopho mores, and freshmen will be requested to answer the Administration’s most recent and very urgent question—“Do you intend to enroll for the Sum mer semester?” This information is vital to the College, ‘insofar as budget plans and instruction facilities are con cerned, and every student should realize his re sponsibility in complying with this request. •Many students-have already decided to enroll for •the Summer semester and there is no need to throw additional encouragement in their direc tion. . . However, the Administration does see the necessity of reviewing some of the more obvious advantages of the accelerated study plan, in order that the undecided students may leam just how Valuable a third semester may be. Realizing that 'freshnien and sophomores are more undecided than juniors, the Administration/points out that the underclassmen will receive the most tlenefit from the new program. If they take advantage .of the plan, they will undoubtedly be able to com plete their education before being called into the nation’s armed services. To a freshman, this last argument may not (have much weight. But allow this same fresh man will change his mind when he steps into the ..shoes of a junior who has been lucky enough to .?fet through • three years of College and who is now faced with the situation that he may be ■drafted during his senior-year.' The junior real ises the great importance of getting that coveted diploma, even though he might be drafted the week after graduation. After the war is over, the college-trained man will again take over im portant positions, and the person with the diplo ma will get the “breaks” when post-war depres sions disrupt our economic life. After the last war, there were hundreds of pleas sent to the College by students who had entered the service before graduation, and who had not returned to College following the war. Every plea was based on the fact that the person realized too late how important a diploma could be, and now he was asking the College for many kinds of special concessions that would enable him to get enough credits for a diploma. But in each case, the College could not grant the concessions. There were set standards to be followed, and unless the students would return to College and satisfactorily meet the require ments, there was little the Administration could do except issue a “sorry but.” Another disadvantage for students is biased on the strained financial condition that will keep ppuiy from enrolling for the Summer term. If anti wh'en the federal government appropriates money for student loans, this financial drawback may be partly eliminated. But this appropria tion is still quite uncertain, and it will probably be a number of weeks before definite action is attained in Congress. According to Adrian O. Morse, assistant to the 'President, in charge of resident instruction, “Stu dents should feel that it. is their patriotic respon ( ibility to complete their education as soon as possible. Industry needs trained men and wo men, and the army will give special consideration ■ln the draftee who has a college diploma. AIL in .hi. there are munv opportunities for the person, who takes advantage of the College':, year-around riu'iv program.” Paul I. Woodlanc Fred E. Clever Mary Janet Wintei Louis H. Beli A little matter of $60,000 has been brought to our attention lately. Several persons have been spreading rumors that class funds amounting to thaJt figure have been lying idle in the h|ank. We have it from the best authorities that such whisperings are not true. Several classes have requested that their money be placed into loan funds or scholarship funds, and even the moldiest dollar bill is now being used. No money is being overlooked within the class gifts of scholarships or loans. Class money cannot be spent in any way other than that which is approved by the class itself. It depends largely how each class labels its funds when the time comes to spend it. Found! The class of 1921 has a problem on its hands as a result of labeling its money to be used for in surance. The insurance is paid for and now can be turned into cash. A nice crisp $20,000 bill has been the root of the class problem. No one knows what to do with it. And the College can not spend it without the approval arid upon the direction of the class. The old grads of the class of 1920 worked themselves into a dilemna when thfey set aside funds for a “memorial gift.” Nothing has teen cookin’ there since the era of the large dollar bill. The money' is still lying around and by this time it has collected interest that would pui-chase a truckload of ten-cent cigars. There has been some delay in putting the funds .of the class of 1922 into circulation- also. Through no fault of anyone on the ca'mp'us, the funds are not being used. They were originally set aside for a “scholarship fundi” Certain alumni who still have sparks of deep loyalty have been trying to persuade the classes of 1921 and 1922 to put their funds together for the construction of a much-needed field-house. But nothing -has happened yet. The war has temporarily throttled things, but the main ob jective of the alumni who cradled the idea is merely to get the promise of the funds on paper. Construction could proceed after the war. The Battle Rages The battle to place 'money into the projects for which they were intended- still rages on. Such a struggle was witnessed in the class of 1940. It specified that the 85,000 in the treasury be given to the College for a Lion Shrine. But no one was placed in the seat of authority until nearly six months after the class graduated. Then it was a struggle to cut the red tape that bound the bargain. For the last three or four years the authority of handling the class gifts of cash, and the prob lem of diverting them into the right channels for the actual realization of the class gifts has been placed in the hands of a special committee. The group has functioned efficiently. That has de veloped as the only certain means of financing a class gift. It might be a good idea for the classes of 1942 and 1943 to appoint the original- special commit tee to work out the conversion of their treasuries into a lasting tribute to the College—some gift' which would not be purchased if the College must supply the financial Hacking. Let’s be sure of what we are giving the Col lege and then put the'arrangements in the hands of the committee for such matters. Then we can be sure that our class gift will become a reality, and tha't the gvden stuff will not rot in the bank. —THE CHEF Daily Notes Of Interest Fraternity men rank higher in scholarship than non-fraternity men in the nation for the 12th consecutive year, according to a survey released by the National Interfraternity Council. The War Production Board indicates that there will be no additional change in the Daylight Sav ing plan during the coming Summer. However, the matter will be left in the hands of each state- More than five per cent of the nation’s 20-year okls win' registered in the lab draft ’;«ve college students -some 139,700 of them. \ THE DAILY COLLEGIAN What’s Cookin'?
