Whitmore, speak ing before the Tyrone Rotary Club yesterday. .. , • The dean of the School of Chemistry and Physics pointed out that adequate help for all our .Allies and for our own great fighting forces be ' , comes a real poisibility because Mr. McNutt has • the po.wei.' to balance our total manpower. General rtewis B. Hershey has understood the problem . ..p.ight along, but could merely advise. "A few local boards and many employers and more individuals have failed to realize that this, is not the Battle of Lexington to be won by .fsiving a musket to every man able to walk. Thus , mistaken individuals and groups have partly de • seated . our war effort through voluntary enlist *-Im.ents and by converting the Selective Service _System into .a draft of all able-bodied men regard . 3ess of the greatest usefulness for the war of each "The necessary power is localized in one man. 'The British have long been using a consolidated system for the best utilization of .each man. "No longer will government arsenals and ord #)ance plants and essential civilian activities such a;; agriculture, steel, and petroleum be handicap ped by having necessary men enlist or be taken through failure of some local board to follow Gen eral Hershey's directives. Now we can all go ahead with new courage and faith." Why Not? The approaching Christmas vacation has made siudents assume the attitude that this is the last vacation that they will get for the duration of the war and they are out to make the most of it. Many of the men students, through the various rumors that have been floating around, have de cided that they need not come back to College after the vacation because they will either be drafted in the near future or will be called to ac tive duty in the Army if they are already enlisted in the reserves. The attitude that these men students have tak en. may be a good one to take if they are not a n - kember of any of the numerous reserve plans, for 'Jo doubt they will be drafted' in a short period of time. However, undergraduates who do not wish ti return for the Spring semester because they fear they will be called to the Army reserve do not s,ave any basis for their decisions except words that have flown from the gossiping mouths of rumor mongers It is true that in a recent lecture to the engi•- )ieering students Dean Hammond stated that the reserves would no doubt be called to action very soon. The Dean seems to have an unconcerted opinion that these men will not be allowed to fully finish next semester. Perhaps the Dean is right, t as yet no official word has come from the office of Secretary of War Stimson in Washington, ex cept the fact that men on an inactive status are subject to call at any time the Army sees fit. Until some form of an official statement is issued by Secretary Stimson it seems foolish for :students to leave school on the grounds . of what they have heard and are willing to believe without investigating into the truth of the matter. it is true that the reserves may , be called very shortly, I)ut until they are called it seems to be a good idea I.r) hang around campus, as suggested by Dean 'Warnock, and try to squee.:e in as much of an edu c,dim as is possible_ That's the reason most stu, doof.s corn , -? to coilege :Ind it appears .o good Downtown Office 1.19-1.21 South Frazier St Phone 4872 _______Lewis L.

By said move I am slightly lim ited in my campaigns and the various and sundry happenings around the campus which spies are continually reporting to me. The thing to do since the change has been to alter the name of the column you write to fit some tricky catch about Your name With the title: Not being able to do that with my name is what really hurts, to say nothing of being known lxy everyone as The Maniac. Formal Roundup In a weekend crowded to the utmost with formal dances, the best chance to keep out of trouble today will be to publish some names of the couples, old and new, who were in attendance. First, we looked in on the Alphachio dance where we saw these combos Whiffet Crossman with Davis Jr. Phidelt, Peggy Good, Estelle Brown, and Cassie Clouser with Cornell men, Helen O'Boyle with Harry Hofmeister Alphazeta, Pat Mac Kinney with Woody Hoch Alphachisig, Emily Funk with fortner Campuseer DomVolab, Women's Editor Murphy with Junior Boarder Blatz, and Jo Powell with Johnny Jones Phigain just in from Altoona.. At the Chio formal we saw prexy Ruth Ernst with Hank Derbyshire Phikappasig, •Sally Duffy with Dean 'Hicks Kappasig, Carrol Kane with Ted Green Phikap, Sam Samson with Ed Kaiser Phi-- kappasig, Ann Lodach with. Bill Hill SPE, and Mary Anastas with Bob Hunsicker Beta. Gamma Phi Beta,had a formal where we saw Shirley Burdick with Bob Dercum Acacia, Ruth Thomas with Carroll BlackwOod Kappasig, Shir. ley Mason with Harold Thrasher AlPhazeta, Bar- . bara Kilbury with JOe Gray, Vera Owens with Stu Kines Teke, and Virginia Carter with John Brown Beta. We got to The Sigma Pi Orchid Dance but thought it was over when we couldn't find anyone on the dance floor. Just as we got in the door one of the boys stopped the orchestra to announce over the public address system that he was offering a liberal reward for the guy who would bring back his date. We found the rest of the dancers . out sliding down the DU hill on the newly fallen snow and having a wonderful time. The Hardware Dept. What appears to have been an epidemic among the Chios has resulted in' two announced engagements—Meg Galt and Bill Calvert KDR and Jean Burch and Ensign Ed Martin. Pins were dis tributed in rather sparse quantity over the week-, end. We found only two—Mort Cohen Phisig pin- nedFrancine Trbstler and Walt Wright left his Phigam jewelry with Jane Hinman Kappa. Flying High Grads 'Keep 'Em Flying' Penn State men are flying high, wide and handsome—at least reports from the many air dromes scattered throughout the country seem to indicate that College boys are taking quite an active part in the United States Army Air Force . . . From the South Plains Army Flying School, Lubbock, Texas, comes word that Staff Sgt. Rob ert F. McFarland of Camp Hill, a member of the class of '39, is now at the "Home of the Winged Commandos" and is learning to fly one of the large war gliders. Silver wings of full-fledged Army Air Men were awarded two College men at recent gradua tion exercises at Randolph Field, Texas. New pilots are Lieut. Robert F. Mulhollem and Lieut. Albert B. Starr. Keeping both feet on the ground in order to help "keep 'em flying," Second Lieut. Walter S. Fortney has reported for duty at the New Orleans Army Air Base,. Louisiana, and was assigned to the base engineering school. The Army has promoted Lieut. Frederick R. Ernst to the position of flight instructor, stationing him at the Army Air Forces Basic Flying School, Wainut Ridge, Arkansas. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN t RiklN 1 kg ; 1.
