For the duration, it is to be regarded as -cu normal and not a special program of study. ,Why Enroll This Summer? “Our College has been generously served bv a democratic America at peace; it will not be un mindful of its obligations to an America at war.” Voicing this promise, President Hetzel told the students that Penn State was ready with all its (resources to aid the nation in the successful \prosecution of the war. That was in December. Acting with little hesitation early in January, the College designed a third semester which gave Penn State a year-round study program for the ■duration. In conjunction with the accelerated (plan, the College had to make drastic changes in the normal academic routine, which would be in keeping with the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees. The resolution passed by the Trustees declared that “it is hereby resolved that the officers and i'tatt of the Pennsylvania State College be auth orized and instructed to take any and all neces sary actions to place the full services of the Col lege in the support of the war policies and pro grams of the state and nation.” It was evident that Penn State was holding back no punches. Every effort would be made to defeat the Axis, despite the many problems and obstacles that would arise from the adoption of an accelerated program of study. , Now, one of those anticipated problems has arisen. The College is facing one of the most critical periods in its history, and at a time when it is necessary that no elfort is wasted. There is no question that .the College is rendering a great service in preparing men for armed serv ices, and also in supplying technically trained men for vital defense industries. This valuable work must continue uninter rupted; therefore Penn State has greatly taxed its resources and designed a Summer semester, which will benefit the nation as well as the stu dents. By taking advantage of the accelerated pro gram, every Penn State student will be doing as njuch as the man on the production line in aid ing America in this supreme war effort. By at tending the Summer semester, men students will be able to graduate before entering the Army or Navy. Graduate engineers will be pitepared to take their place in industry before they nor mally would hajve under the old program. 'Women can do their part, also, by enrolling for the Summer semester. As the war increases in magnitude, more and more men will be drawn from industry to serve in the armed forces. This means that women must be trained to step into .positions vacated by men. It is natural to as ;,ume that the woman with the College degree will be better fitted to assume a more responsible post. Undoubtedly there will be cases where a stu dent will find it practically impossible to attend ii,he Summer semester. Because of the shortage of farm help at present, a number of students enrolled in agriculture will be forced to return •to their homes this Summer to assist with crop (harvesting. Others will have to work at usual vacation jobs in order to finance their education during the Winter semesters. On the other hand, there is still a certain group of students, especially women, who have no par ticular reason for not attending the Summer se mester. It may be somewhat easier to persuade this group by pointing out that living conditions will be greatly altered at home this Summer. Old friends will be in the army, or busily en gaged in defense industries seven days out of the week. So, why not stay in College your 'bit to ah Axis defeat. Something has been brewing within the inner sanctum of All-College Cabinet for over two weeks now and it’s time that it be revealed. Cabinet has asked that the Christian Association submit its funds to auditing by the Athletic Asso- Louts H. Beil ciation. Milton I)oHwrei Benjamin M. Bailey Helen K. Kcefauvei and contribute THE DAILY COLLEGIAN iiiiiii(iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiniitiiiiiimiimiiii(imiiiiiiiiiiiiiii>: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiii There is nothing dark or underhanded about the request, but Cabinet is testing its power as it was defined in the new All-College Constitu tion, approved in the last election by an over whelming majority. From this issue there emerges a real challenge to the strength of student government. If the Christian Association refuses to submit its funds for auditing by Neil Fleming’s office, there will be a flurry of feathers because All-College Cabi net is sincere in its demands. About the only catastrophe that would occur when and if the CA refuses would be the auto matic withdrawal by Cabinet of the CA’s right to have representation on Cabinet. The CA’s objection to the auditing plan is rath er weak. It. is afraid that its funds would be held up unnecessarily. But that wouldn’t be the case. Many other campus organizations operate efficiently with AA office control. ■ Of prime significance in Cabinet’s suggestion is the permission to solicit student funds. The CA runs on student support. It must solicit funds for its existence. Therefore, Cabinet could jvithhold its sanction on the CA’s plan to can vass students. There the CA would die imme diately. If the CA so desired, it could ignore Cabinet entirely. Undoubtedly, however, Cabinet would not back its program. It is untrue to say that the CA is unworthy of support because it has done much for Penn State. Every campus needs an organization of its kind. Rather than incur the official wrath of Cabinet, the CA had better step in lirfe. As far as the AA office’s alfility to take care of the funds of the CA is concerned, that money could be in no better hands. Other campus or ganizations have their funds audited by the office. In fact, they are required by Cabinet to do so. Then why shouldn’t the CA submit to the plan, too. It too is definitely a student organization. It’s not that the use of the CA’s funds is being questioned. It’s the fact that it is a student activity and as such it must be controlled. Cabinet’s teeth are being tested. Don’t let go, Cabinet, you’ve a good hold and are backed by student sentiment. > NEW - | SHIPMENT s Just Arrived i * ) Button —Down i Oxford Cloth Shirts ?

Dean Steidle emphasized that the school’s normal program will be carried out and that students graduated under the accelerated program will have the sarrie standing after graduation as those taking the course over a regular four-year -period. “Men in the Mineral Industries fields ape needed more and more every day,” hq stated. He con tinued to say that in a year or two when industry .has • finished its extensive building program the army will be looking for trained men in this field. “.They’ll need the men next year to operate the equipment and arms they build during this coming, year,’’ he explained. Dean -Steidle told of two .mem tiers of the Mineral Industries School faculty, Dr. William Par rish, assistant.professor of miner alogy, and Dr. James A. Taylor, assistant professor of. fuel tech nology, who were recently called for duty with the army. He cited these two examples in regard to the School’s contri bution to the war effort. In conclusion Dean Steidle stat ed that it will be up to the stu dents to put forth doubled and redoubled efforts in order to make the new study plan a success. “It is a student’s patriotic as well as personal and practical re sponsibility to attend if at all possible the Summer semester,’’ h'e declared.
