Rell WeOPeso9 , Y, July 22, 1942 Serious Business Today, and for the last few years, the United States has been involved in preparing for war; !nut before the end of 1942, the nation will see its outlook changing as America actually digs into the job of fighting this war on the dozen pr more battlefronts of the world.. When that time ar rives,. thousands of American soldiers will die in battle, and at the same time the people re maining in this country will assume a different ?mental attitude as the seriousness of the conflict grows and the list of "fallen heroes" strikes near ex home to each and every one. We are not trying to build a somber setting rwithout reason. Instead, this is only one way of conditioning students to the fact that this war will be pretty serious business Within the near future, and that tonight is a good time to get down •to serious business by giving full cooperation in the half-hour blackout. • The blackout is a statewide affair, and the first in a series of similar tests to be conducted regu larly, until all citizens and Civilian Defense Corps workers perform automatically what is required of them during such blackouts. ' It is interesting to note that the hatmen have. taken it upon themselves to do a big part in.the local 'tests. After withstanding a certain amount of the criticism because of their alleged "do noth ing" attitude, the men in hats are ready to prove •that' they have not been lax in serving Penn State. By taking rigorous training in first aid and Ci vilian Defense,. the .hatmen will qualify them selves for official arm bands which are worn by all wardens during blackout proceedings. Al though a number of the hatmen have held posts during past blackouts, these same men will be recognized as official wardens when they have completed the short Civilian Defense course de signed to provide extensive but speedy instruc tion in air raid duties. But we cannot forget that Civilian Defense Corps ,workers comprise only a .small minority of 'the population. Irregardless of how well the wardens .carry out their duties, the real success of any blackout depends upon. the full cooperation of the large civilian group. To this group it is only a 'reminder when we say that indifference is the worst threat to a blackout, and the surest way of spelling its defeat. • Profs Get A Break The college professor finally gets a break One of the most welcome oieces•of news out of Washington during the past month was the re cent directive from the Selective Service 'Head quarters to local draft boards, in which a revised list of "essential activities" was prepared for the guidance of local boards in making future en listments. 'lncluded among these "essential. activities" was a clause containing the educational services, in which teaching in colleges and universities, as 'well as secondary schools and vocational training schools, was recommended for occupational classification. • Although this "recommendation" does not con ;;titute any iron-clad guarantee of deferment• for the college professor, it is a sign that Selective Service Headquarters recognizes the need for higher edUcation during war time, and provides a 'leg for him to stand on when applying for .occu pational deferment through his local board. It is common knowledge that all draft - boards do not make the same.decisionS, and naturally wide spread discrepancies in interpreting this latest directive can be expected. Despite this fact, however, 'it is estimated the measure will preclude any appreciable drain on college faculty person pet, as was the case among many of the nation's secondary schools during the past year. • A Worm's Eye View . . . "People at Penn State are so far from reality," a uniformed visitor remarked the other day. We'd comment on this, but we're tired of sticking out our antennae to raise a stench and then getting stashed to bits by people who object. It's too hot anyway. So pardon us while we do a little plugging for a change. You've probably, seen the colorful posters and the window display downtown that tell things about a Latin- , American fiesta to take place Fri day night. plug: don't pass them by. Plans for this fiesta have been underway for several months, and we're told that some of the persons taking part in it were making arrange inents as early as last year. It's a big event. (Not so big as Victory Weelwpcl, but what else is?) One of the accordionists for the fiesta works in a bank downtown, • and another is a fourteen year-old town boy. Mrs. Willa Taylor has about 14 chorus numbers under her thumb. Her ac companist will be Mrs. Hermance Reese, pianist fOr the women's physical education department. If you've never heard her play, it would be worth attending the fiesta to do` so. The whole campus and community seem to be involved in this thing. And we haven't even mentioned the movies, the dancing, the refreshments, the rented cos tumes, and the good it will do your morale to find out a few things about our South American neigh bors. It's free, too. While we're plugging, how about taking in Pro- Lessor Dickson's gallery talk in Mineral Industries tonight. We understand that there are some pic tures over there that you guys oughtta glance at when you have time. A ROTC kid just passed by, and said that this column was too icky. He said we should give someone hell for dressing the frosh in cool, Sum mer uniforms. and making the sophs sweat'in the fields with itchy, wool stuff. We didn't want to gripe about anything, but what can you do when ROTC kids step in? This kid also says it's a shame. Penn State can't keep up with other colleges, in realizing that this is war, by having more overnight trips for the uni formed men on campus. • "Nobody would get hurt," he said, "contrary to public opinion." —FERDY MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—CAOP)-Fifty per cent of all men graduated from.lsW cotleges. during June are joining the army, navy, or marine corps,.

Greeks Urged To Save Fats Fraternity caterers and board ing house cooks were issued a spe cial warning yesterday to con serve kitchen fats and oils for de fense. Lydia Tarrant,- assistant profes sor of nutrition extension, re minded that eliminating waste of fats and oils is a very definite re= sponsibility of those whose jobs it is to prepare meals. Save every bit of fat - and, if possible, use it in cooking," Miss Tarrant' stated. Fats not' usable for coOking, she added, should be saved and taken to local -meat dealers who will start them on the way to war industries. Four steps in the save-fats-far defense program, according- to the nutrition epert,• are: 1. Save all . waste cooking fats. 2. Strain to remove all meat Lieut.
