Bell Friday, August 21, 1942 After The Fight • The campus is still talking about the impres sive speech that President Hetzel made before a large group of • student leaders on Wednesday night. The Prexy cleared up a lot of questions and problems that had been bothering students during this accelerated semester, and to top it off, he put his ideas across in a manner that made {hem strike home. . True enough, his speech was not so strong at first, but the Prexy came through in his usual way by building his talk to a powerful climax. which made those present do some extra thinking. One question in particular that the Prexy answered had to do with the attitude of students who are facing induction in the armed services of the nation. To be more specific, the question 'was, "Have you noticed that students have taken an attitude that, because they will enter the army after graduation and may possibly be killed, they should now become careless and stop studying?" The Prexy answered that he fully realizes that this attitude does exist among a number of stu dents on campus. It is a dangerous reaction, the :Prexy admitted, and a sigil of weakness.. Such an attitude will never produce war heroes or men who will assume leadership during the emergency. No one can doubt that this reaction is preval ent at Penn State as well as other American col leges and universities. However, we can ap preciate the fact that this weakness exists only in a few, while the other hundreds of Penn State men have decided to make the most of their col lege education, so that they will be well prepared to shoulder America's reconstruction burdens when the fight is over. More Light, Please 'Anyone who has been forced to use the path leading from 'Ag Hill, past Hort Woods, to Park Avenue at night will report that for the past sev eral weeks it has been very, very dark out there. The department of grounds and buildings is not entirely to blame for the lack of light along that path. Until last month, it conscientiously re placed burned-out or broken bulbs, and made it possible for one to keep from stumbling and for women to feel reasonably safe. However, grounds and buildings has been more or less thwarted in its intentions by a group of vandals, probably consisting of childish students, 'who, out of thoughtlessness or sheer malice, have smashed the electric light bulbs as fast as they were replaced. Apparently disgusted with this vandalism, grounds and buildings seems to have given up, and refuses to install any more lights. The need for proper lighting is obvious. So we ;ire making a double plea: first to the light stnashers to find more harmless targets for their ;tone-throwing: and secondly, to grounds' and lmildings to make still another attempt to keep 'the path safely lighted. —D. L. G. Seymour Rosenberg Adolph L. Heiser Philip P. Mitchell Herbert Hasson THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Through The Needle's Eye The other night Prexy Hetzel talked turkey to the campus leaders and tried to establish a back ground for them to think against during the Summer months. Prexy said a lot of things, and clarified point after point by making these cam pus leaders think the answers through for them selves. Some of the things he said were a bit abstract, and if it were any other time except the nineteenth of August in. the year of Our War 1942, these campus leaders might have tossed them off like a sociology lecture. One sharp listener—one of the six ex-Collegian editors now around campus—heard the Prexy, and took a clause from the beginning of the ses sion and one from the end and put them together. The Prexy said: "We must live nobly, while we live—for tomorrow we may not die." That impresses us. So much so .that we're go ing to print it again, in italics: "We must live nobly, while we live—for tomor row we may not die." L That seems to pose the problem with conscious ness and clarity enough. A smart apple listens to statements like that, because it's simply true. It's all right to plan for a future in the army. It's all right to get yourself ready to die. It's all right to keep up morale and enjoy yourself until you die. But what happens if you don"t kick the bucket? Then you have to eat, and you have to figure out a way of marrying your girl, if you don't do it when you go gaily off to war. You have to look around and see whether you're satisfied with this place where you'll have to bring up your kids. You have to make up your mind whom to elect president, whether you should quit your job, whether you have enough stuff on the ball to take the one that's offered to you. You have to live, we guess. You have to live the best you can. Smart apples like us don't stick around the cities and take the first job that comes our way. We go off to college and pick up some education so that we can marry our best girl, and have a better job, and figure out how . to clean up the graft in the local school system. We're sharp that • way. A fellow with brains is a sucker to miss out on a chance like that. That's why we came to Penn State in the first place. Any dope can see that. No, maybe the dopes can't see that. They don't think it's much use, when they do think. We're pretty lucky that we're so sharp. We know how to get ours the best way. "We must live nobly, while we live—for to morrow we may not die.' GABRIEL. • ~ ., * l'l, , , ~,h,..,.:. ; : ' t":, P, ; ., • • „ v • ' ':,',. 'it:'''''4':';'•,<4.l"ll?'

Graham's Maintains Contacts With Town Boys In Service War has added a new depart ment to the famous bench on S. Allen street called Graham's A. C. Since George Graham's son, Bub, entered the army, Graham has undertaken the task of keeping the boys from State College in contact with each other and the other boys from home. Posted on the 'window of his store this week is a copy of the Graham A. C. News, with a list of addresses attached. Graham sends a copy of , this to each boy in' the service whose address he knows, and tries to reach all of the men serving in the armed forces froln this district. In this week's letter, .there is a comment 'from Charlie. Speidel down in Chapel Hill, N. C. Char lie says he has looked diligently, but has not yet found a suitable replica for the "Bench." Graham asks all friends and relatives to leave the addresses of soldiers and sailors -that they know, so the boys will have a little touch of home in their mail once in a while. There is no doubt that the boys appreciate the efforts of graham in keeping them in touch. The replies and letters that he receives prove that. Book Exchange (Continued from Page One) prices on.books they wish.the ex change to sell for them. If at the end of the term of business of the exchange their books have not been sold, they may call for them and no charge will be made them. The exchange will be run by students hired by the committee in charge on the basis of need and past experience. The amount of hired help will be determined by the committee. Each student working will receive 35 cents per hour for his labor. Students who wish to work in the exchange should apply at Student Union be fore Tuesday. Financial backing for the ven ture comes from All-College Cab .inet which assumes the responsi bility of debts in case there are any. Any profits from the ex change will be turned over to some local loan or relief fund. Accounts for the project will be kept as the committee deems necessary for aaequate function ing of the project. Any changes in the setup will, however, need approval of Cabinet before they will be effective.
