Stiortage—After Midnight
• WO never thought that there would come a
when we would see a food shortage. in Penn.
Strangely enough such a situation does
exi ; :t—as any post-midnight diner has found out.
however, the cause of the 12 p. xn. voluntary cur
few does not center in an actual scarcity of food
co»»nodities but rather in the labor.supply.
Although restaurants would like nothing better
than to maintain the old system of all night ser
vice and darn. the welcome Margin of profit,
they find it impOssible to do. se. •Shortages of
chocolate, coffee, and other staples are handicap
-ping the normal business, of local merchants. But
mare important, the businessmen are faced with.
•an unusual labor problem. They just can't get
staffs• to- work after lnidnight and even. daytirrie
Workers are pUtting in long and arduous shifts.

toniply. Furthermore, they are in no position to
xocet these desires. Hiring of extra labor at high
wages AIM increase overhead beyond the margin
of profit and the extra headaches• involved in •
accornodating the student demand are just too

A Partner To The Draft Bill
Approval of a bill h,y, the "House military, corn
3niltee lowering, the draft age to 18 has focused
nationwide attention on the issue once again.

Congress the Army's goal for 1943 is 7,500,000

Paul McNutt has figures on. which. to base need

board quotas.
Most persons, viewing the legislation from the

gives Congressmen grounds for enacting the meas.•

WA§E.T.INGTON 2 —(ACP)—Tens of. ;thousands of
men are learning to fly •at some 600 of the na•
tion's colleges this year, preparing to serve in
Army and Navy aviation.
However, - wit 'all the pilot trainees . are regular
students—college facilities have 'been opened to
all who, can rnee:, requiremeths of the Civil Aero
nautics Administration. Any man who cart pass
the mental and physical examinations is eligible,
although all tranees must enlist in the reserve of
the Army or Navy air forces.
Most Navy reservsts are slated to be combat
pilots' and must meet the standard requirements
of Naval Aviation Cadet Selection poards. They
may be college students taking 'training under the
V-i or V-5 plans.
EAmis
All Army reservists in the CAA programtake
their training on a full-time basis and must be
men who are ineligible as combat pilots because
of their age or minor physical defects. Age limits
are 18 'through- 36. If he's under 27 an a:ppLicant
must have been rejected for combat pilot training.
In the CAA-Army:program five types of pilots
are being trained:
Glider;
Liaison—spotter for field artillery and other
similar jobs; Instructor—transport co-pilot
either for the Army Air Trans Port Cominand,
or on one of the airlines working with it; Ser
vice pilot—towing targets or gliders, short
hauls of men and materials.
CAA trainees progress through elementary,
secondary, cross-country, link-instrument and
flight officer or instructor courses. Each course
lasts 8 weeks. Trainees may be . called by ; the
Army or Navy for further training or active duty
at any stage of the courses.
After call by the services they may qualify for
a conunisison.
Education Elsewhere .
The Nazis termed it an "outstanding event for
youth as wel las for the party" when the, 1924
age group of Hitler Youth was taken under the
wing of the National Socialists a few days ago.
Lucky kids.
Also the Naii high conimand has decided that
all 410°1 children shall have the privilege this
year o,C liearing *three military lectures and. mak
ing , one visit
.to some mlitary base—"outside
school hours."
An elective course, no doubt. . •
56 Ensign Grilduateg
Head ack To Sea
"Back 'to sea" are the words on the . lips of the
56 ensigns who graduate here today from the Col
lege DieSel 'training school.
For those men rwho were commissioned out of
civilian life as ensigns in the Naval Reserve,
"back 'to sea" Means the first time, but for one
half of them it's just the same old thing. They are
veterans of from nine to sixteen years service.
• Many cif the current graduating class who en
listed in the Navy years ago started as apprentice
seamen, worked their way up through the ranks
to warrant rating, and were finally commissioned
officer:. •
The histoiy of the 'nlv:Yl'll.major engagement
is woven through their experience. dWaY?
Coral Sea; Pearl Harbor, and Dutch Harbor are
just a few.of the battles in which they have par
ticipated in the present war. One ensign took
pad in 'World War I. •
The present graduating class which started
Aug: 10 marked a new departure in navalitrain
ing. on campus, since 'the other five classes,, to
graduate from the school were composed entire
ly (of Naval Reserve officers with no previour k
Nav,y experience. All of them have been trailid
in a ten-month course designed to meet !, ; 'n:e'Navy , s
need for engineers skilled irx .itfe - 6Fera ton, instal,
LAVA and a xnaintenance. 'of the 'latest Diesel
engines.
.A. 1.1 of th 'graduates will bb assigned to active
naval engineering Duties, either ashore or afloat,
in the nevi . future. '
