Naturally, a large part of Joe Callege’s conversation with classmates centers the familiar trend of the progress of the "war. There seems to be a general feeling among the present crop of boys who frequent the college campuses that they are riding the high road to an early death. And even if the youngster is not un duly pessimistic, Latin, English and zoology seem awfully trite in camparison to the incomparable adventures which accompany the donning of a uniform. Too, each youth not now in uniform secretly realizes that the good jobs after the war. will go to the man who has helped on the front lines to openly repulse the enemy. One soldier soon after tie was commmissioned a second was heard to remark that he valued his bars more than his college degree. He was convinced that the commission would be of more value after the peace than the result of his four years’ labor for »t bachelor’s. ' Then there is the feeling by many 18 and 19 year olds that this war is the biggest adventure of the century. It probably is 1 They feel that some thing of a “one-in-a-lifetime” vraiety is occur ring and they are viewing it via letters from Pvt. Bill, lectures by history professors, the neswpaper and the radio. . Students needn’t believe that just because they are not in uniform now that they are about to miss the entire show. The first act of this super-thriller is still underway. And the head Allied coach has formulated definite plans for using all his substi tutes long before the final gun. Teachers are obviously having a difficult time in keeping students interested in training primarily for civilian life when military training seems so much more important. But even if this war lasts for years, there will lue people who will emerge from it. The odds are in the soldier’s favor that he will come back, de spite the innumerable dangers of military life in the trenches. Of course, people will die, but people are killed annually in appalling numbers in auto mible accidents. Most men will be back. Then how can college students afford to wast valuable time now when they could be amply fitting themselves not only for war but for life? I%w Powers Cabinet moved last night to clarify a by-law and at the same time save a great amount of time and money. The way the by-law was worded meant that the position of an absent vice-president could be filled only by election, With the amendment, that position can be filled by appointment. With that as the background, St. Clair’s appoint ment of Jim Payne to fill the vacancy of junior class vice-president is not official until the amend mentment has been read two more times at meet ings of all-College Cabinet and voted on. ■ Had the vacancy occurred in any other position, St. Clair could validly have appointed a succes sor to whatever chair was empty except vice-presi president. If the by-law continues on its way to being passed, any class president will have power 1o fill any vacancy by appointment. If tlie president drops from College, a new elec- Downtown Officrt 119-121 South Frazier Bft. Phone 4372 .Mickey Bl&t/. Rita Belfonti Ben French John D, Neel Robert E. Boger .Louiu K.

We thought for a good while, trying to figure out how vve had put in some of the vacant weekends during the past year. Then we got it. DRY DOCK!! After we figured out the difficulty, we met Bill Cissel (we won’t say where) and asked him about it. He said there had been some talk about it, but there was some flaw in the works somewhere. He said they were going to try to work something out. We hape they can do it, because all of the students we asked about it since then have been in favor it it. Hats Off, Errol By Sunday’s papers we find that the genial Mi\ Flynn has been freed from the charges against him. The women around the country can now celebrate once more their idol’s abilities as a screen adventurer and lover. Besides the fact that the Judge insisted that he enjoyed the trial we can see tremendous possibilities from this in some actions that have taken place in the Nittany Val ley. Now the Nittany Nipper can come into the open without as much fear as he has shown so far. Waltz Me Around Again .

Wishing to kill the rumor that the Army would “take over” the College at the inauguration of the program, Dr. Hetzel pointed out the fact that the Army will mere ly be sending men here to receive instruction and that the College would operate in the same manner as usual, unaffected by the pres ence of the trainees. . Although trainees will be un der military supervision and will have the rating of .Privates, it is the desire of the Army, Dr. Het zel said, to have men lead a life parallel to that of a college stu dent during normal times. Recre ational and social program will be planned and trainees will be urged to take part in them. Asked whether students will be able to receive college credit for their training, Dr. Hetzel said, “The particular educational insti tution .which the trainee will at tend will determine whether cx-ed it will be given to the student for his study. According to discussion at the meeting last week, the com mittee seemed, to agree that the program would be worthy of ac ceptance for college credit.” The College has also been select ed as a training school of Naval Engineers.
