Recognition of the importance of 'education in 'wartime has been given by War, Manpower Chief Paul. v: McNutt, who yesterday announced that jiLins have been completed.to train selected mem of the armed forces at universities and col in. medicine and other sciences necessary •to :Lifeguard our present and future. Full details will J. announced as soon as the, program is in the rhmads of college and university officials, probably late this week. The plan was worked out by the War Manpower Commission and the armed services to provide for proper utilization of existing education facili_ lies and will protect those youths who can make 1.11.4.? best contribution in medicine and sciences, 01ildNutt pointed out. • * Training in liberal arts will be continued, he aaid, because that field is as essential to the future •:u; are the sciences. The Manpower Commission is concerned not only with the needs of the Army and Navy but also with the needs of industry and .j . fovernment: It is understood the program includes i.raining for about 250,000 men who would be :;iipe,rvised, clothed and fed by the Army and Navy. The program will not interfere with the officer 1. raining programs of the armed forces which now are in operation at colleges throughout the na tion. McNutt stated a decision on size of the armed :forces was reached in recent conferences with the joint chiefs of staff, but declined to discuss it. It seems that McNittt, as head of the War Man .l)oi,ver Commission, has the power •to say what and what shall not be done with the avail able manpower in the country. It was McNutt who ;Announced that enlistments in all services had :top'ped. And it was McNutt again who last night .that men between 18 and 37 could still enlist the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard. McNutt stated yesterday that selected members of the armed forces will definitely be trained in colleges rind universities and that plans will be announced soon. McNutt is the head man.

A Lean and Hungry Look Watts Hall's coeds are at present engaged in the mind-building calls thentic of lugging their trunks tip from the 'basement. Maybe its all . for the best. With the emphasis on physi cal fitness, the College is doing right in making them carry the luggage across the campus meadows into Ath Hall. Mens saga in corpore sane, 'eh; Betty? First Alders attentions You .may . WPM' now use that academic knowledge if • you will just make front campus . your future lolling-place. Grounds and Building, in a supreme effort to stop the path makers from skipping through the sodden . fields, have strung barbed wire across the embryonic path from iVlain Engineering. Another good spot is up between the Library and the Education building where more war wire rears its spiky barbs. This may yet defeat its own purpose. Suppose the local soldiery started to use the wire as part of a Commando course? What, 0 mighty G and B, then? Anent last week's Liberal Art filibuster, there was a bambastic quote bm President Seymour of Yale in last Monday's '.'dew York Times." We here append: "If universities allow oemselves to be over whelmed by materialispc philosophy activated by 'public opinion,' the Country will be faced with a regime of intellectual mediocrity and spiritual stagnation akin to the Dark Ages. _ Peter Scott __Bill Reimer Louis ft Bell "However glaring the failures of our Colleges and Universities. in the past, they have:given'pro tection to the things of the mind and the spirit,' and they have refused to bow . the knees .to :a 'ma terialistic culture. That position they must' not' surrender."
