And also it should prove a great help in. his efforts Jo acquire proper recognition for Penn State as an excellent training ground for this type of cooperative arrangement.. So far, the College is able to boast that besides 5.4 s war-keyed student body, ensigns are studying •rere and a newly initiated Curtiss-Wright course for women has been established. It would seem that Penn State would like to and is able to do far more directly for the war cause. In the recent past, any number of training pro grams have been proposed to the College, wel comed by the Administration, and then later re jected by the outside officials for one reason or another, ome are even pending now but whether or not they will materialize is-uncertain. Army Enlisted Reserves from all colleges are "being called at the end of the first term comple ted after December 31, 1942. When'this call was first issued it was clarified to state that 1 the re servists would be given basic training, examined, arid then placed according to their .abilities, many to be sent back to college for advanced training. If, at that time, Penn State is still not occupied "by any other large training project and with Presi dent Hetzel one of the ten committeemen advis ing the War Department on this program the Col lege should certainly not toe neglected by this training arrangement if it is worthy. —R. D. S. behind The Lines “Men who are occupationally deferred can and .should take a justifiable pride in their defer ment,” Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manpower Commission reported His statement was aimed at “registering the fact with the public that essential workers are vital to war jjroduction.” “Occupational defei-ment usually indicates that a man is making a more valuable contribution to the war, right now, than if he were in uniform,” McNutt said. “Such men should remember that our fighting men need materials and supplies to carry on their fight,” he addedd. Many students at Penn State have received .such occupational deferments. They should feel proud that their present status makes them more valuable to the war effort than if they were in uniform. As for how long these deferments will last, McNutt has this to say: “There are some 3,000 occupations which have been designated as essential occupations. Men in these occupations will be kept in those jobs until ■changing circumstances, such as the training of suitable replacements, make it advisable to in duct them into the armed forces.” News received from the Associated Collegiate .Press, of which the Daily Collegian is a member, states that men must get at least 110 in the Army classification test to get into the Army’s Special ized Training Program in United States Colleges. That grade is the same required of those who want to take officer training. Other requirements previously announced stip ulate that candidates have at least a high school education. Further they must be either in basic army training nr have completedd it. Except in ibe case of advanced college training courses men must he at least tii and no more than 2t years old.

CLEVER We were prepared to .cast some editorial asper sions at the Student Union Board for their lack of foresight in scheduling the traditional big dances this semester at a time when most Eastern colleges are doing away with such affairs for the duration. While thinking over our plan of attack, we happened to glance over last week’s column, and remembered the doubt we expressed at that time concerning student enthusiasm for the vol untary physical fitness program, then introduced by the School of Physical Education and Athlet ics. We put through a call to Nick Thiel, within whose control the program has been entrusted. To our chagrin, but we must admit, not to our sur prise, we found that up until noon yesterday only three courageous souls had “volunteered.” The whole thing has left us in a quandary. Per haps Penn State students don’t give a hang about the “after May what?” Perhaps our outlook has become narrow from being in too close contact (through Collegian’s exchange files of college newspapers) with the attitude of college students throughout the United tates. We naturally inferred that Penn State students, like students elsewhere, were willing to go-all-out for this thing now tritely called “the war effort.” A Practical Side Aside from the rather negative factor of co operation, there is a very practical side to student response to war-measures at this time. For about seven months now, there has been a faction lobby ing in Washington—representatives, mostly, of the Labor front—who have been bringing pres sure to bear against our present educational set up. This faction contends that Joe College deserves bo better fate than Joe Coal Miner, or Joe Steel Mill Worker insofar as army service is concerned. Many observers agree that it was because of this pressure that a call has been made for reservists, although original plans called for graduation be-’ fore induction, ‘ In spite of our. having no qualms about what we are doing, it is foolish to arouse the antagon ism of these anti-college factions. We impress no one by our superficial acts of sacrifices. At the same time we cannot sit back and complacently ignore such things as programs designed to make us better, soldiers. The public just won’t swallow it. Where Was Frothy? Our editor Paul I. Woodland, was bemoaning the fact yesterday that the capricious gentlmen (sic) of Froth failed to show up for the scheduled snow-ball fight Thursday morning. After the em barrassing incident last Saturday night when Bill Briner had to draw three numbers before anyone would claim the five Collegian- subscriptions. Frothy’s failure to appear at the battle grounds has Woody walking*around with his chin up again.

Therefore, women should take their cue. , Instead of planning for the spe cial events which might come along, coeds who are thinkin,g will proceed with a sensible, founda tion for an unpredictable life to follow. Facts show that College women marry just as quickly as the non attenders arid that although a large -part of a graduating class starts out in the career world, it ends up in the “honeymooners.” Figures included in the report released recently from the dean of women’s office sjiow that only two percent of the '4l and' ’42 coeds are unemployed at the present time. These show a mark ed increase for the good over the ’39 and ’4O groups which, after a 'similar period, showed 10 and 19 percent unemployed respectively. The same report, which showed that one-third of the women grad uated in the past years are' “schoolmarming” it, stated that 14 percent of the 291 recent grad uates are now married. Incom plete ias' it now stands, the report may be even better in reality. Also, there’s lot of chance that your career may' be but a short lived one. Flay-ball with the Col lege ’til you’re finished, have pa tience, get your experience, and then settle down. It will happen someday, but good things come slowly.
