Annintant A.dvertini»rt Manage, Graduate Clounneior Saturday, October. 31, t 942 soy Thumb-'Twiddßing Today This afternoon brings with it one of the few Saturdays during football season with no home tames, and the clash against •West• Virginia's mountaineers is not scheduled to be broadcast over the radio. Only athletic event is the girls' 4lockey match. , • • However, such an afternoon as this brings a challenge to get outdoors, away, from the•books, ixlto, the country.for exercise. One suggestion as to take as Ring bike.- , Tussey Mountain, only four miles to the 'South, is worth exploring. Extremely rocky, Tussey has trails running through it, most of which date.back. to Indian days. Another direction in which to hike ifi toward Mount Nittany, east of State - College I.ind within• easy view. Its , sides aren't as - steep as 'Tossey's. Third suggestion for a hike is the Bald :Cagle Mountains. Further away than Tussey or nittany, the Bald Eagles can be reached after about t 2 miles of walking, but it would be a .train on the average student to make the trip back in the same day. More helpful to the war effort is work with the aural service committee. Each week the group ;leaves front the rear of Old Main at 1:10 p.m., and goes to surrounding farms to aid farmers 4;olve the need for labor. Students can dig pota- C,aes, husk corn and do other jobs reauiring little experience. Indeed, many students going on the project groups, have had practical farm. experience and can do almost any of the Fall work. Rural service ;groups have averaged 65 persons recently, and :it is hoped this week the number will mount to 150. Robert S.' McNabb '45, whom All-College Cabinet 'appointed in charge oe the trips, said he ')S' encountering transportation difficulties in get•• fling the farm helpers to the farms. Usually they walk back. Army-Navy hockey game on Holmes Field will attract many coeds, since the two teams are chosen 'to represent the best hockey players. Physical fitness can he developed by using Rec Ball's athletic facilities. The gymnasium is usually open Saturday afternoons and equipment is avail &able. A workout on the obstacle course will almost certainly point out a person's physical. faults. Summing up these suggestions on how the aft ernoon can be used most effectively, one can readily notice the emphasis on physical activity rather than curling up with• a hook in a stuffy room. The sooner each student gets in good physi condition, the better things will be for him later on. Thia.is made .evident by tie College's recent move to abandon [jayvee an freshman teams in Savor Of , sports which will reach more individuals directly.' About $5lOOO has thus been released for physical fitness. We suggest you leave your roc rn this .afternoon. rand either get.aequainted with Penn State's nat. 'oral surroundings or help alleviate the farm labor : :00,tage with the group leaving from Oki Main. belp ,yourself and your country. —.P. I.

Pel Stiff ('tents Say . . . 'Teen-Age raftees Need Years' Training By DAVID SAMUELS Feature Editor 1:o , -- A small majority of Penn State students favor the O'Daniel amendment to the 'teen-age draft bill which prohibits the sending of 18 and 19- year-old youth into combat before they. have had a year's training, according to a Daily Collegian opinion poll. • Fifty-six per cent of those interviewed said the O'Daniel amendMent should be passed . by' Con gress, while forty-four per cent opposed it: Pre ' cautions were taken to include a proportionate number of both 'teen,age students and those above 20,years of age ir the survey. The O'Daniel (D.-Tex.) amendment to the 'teen age draft bill proposed that no person under 20 years of age who was inducted into the armed forces should "be placed in actual combat duty beyond the territorial boundaries of continental United States, until after he had had at least one year's military training following his induction." Despite the publicly expressed, opposition of President Roosevelt against any amendment to the 'teen-age draft bill, the Senate passed it last week by a vote of The original bill which lower ed the draft age to 18 years was passed. earlier by the House by 345-16.. It Will be referred to —a- , compromise committee composed of Senate and House members after•they return from re-election campaigning. Political observers say that a pos sible compromise under which ',a '6 -months ban would be imposed will meet with the approval, of both sides. Coeds who were contacted in the poll expressed viewpoints'typical of , the feminine lobbyists with backed the amendment. Worn - en' students con tended that "'teen-age youth is, immature and need a year's training to adjust themselves to the horrors of war." • Eighty-three per cent of the coeds favored the O'Daniel amendment while only 17 per cent op posed it. Those contacted were mostly 'teen agers themSelves—accOrding to their :statements: • .. The issue brit to Penn "State men and wonien undergraduates follows: "In your' opinion should 18 and 19.,year : ola youth he compelled to have, a year's train)ing be fore they are sent into combat'?" Results of the Daily Collegian poll are Student Opinions Vat The varied opinions of some of the students con tacted in the poll follow: IVLaur Levan, soph., 19. Ed—Yes. As can be seen from our Ralt.cOurser .. .i - therie is so much to be known about organization and discipline. Men who don't have such training would not be cap able of executing ..orders ,prooprly for the safest results. • Irene :Eroat, 39, La--Definitely.a They're inexperienced. They need the year of training bo adjust themselves: - Marge Ritter, LD—No. Since these boys have the capacities to become thebest soldiers two alibuld be able to absorb training auicker than older • men. IVLariorie Renner, LD—Yes. Boys of. 18 and 19 haven't enough training to be sent directly over- Richard Marsh, senior, 21, C Ba—Definitely. don't think they're mentally old enough to be able to get the best out of their training in less than a year's time. Sane frosh, 18, Home Ec.—Yes. Because less than one year's training would. not be ,ade. Rosemary Halpin, frosh, 18, 1.0,--Yes. Because it shouldn't be like the last World War where they sent men over who had just been inducted to be just so much cannon, fodder. • LB. Ashcroft, s'oph. LD—No. Let the Army use as own judgment. Morris Beck, senior. LA.—No. There is noth ing magic about a 12-months training period. If a soldier can be properly trained in eight-morths, there is no reason for keeping him here if his di vision is ready to be sent across. Willie= A. Hyde. Jr. soph, 19, 1-11,---No. To win this war true must have 10,000,000 men and that means all. 18 and 19-year-olds. The older men should go first, but youth must be ready When needed.
