The Years After
At times the talk of college students iri the Ira
-I,ernities and rooming houses proves quite interest
ing and a bit disillusioning. 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-

iiiiiiiiimiiiiiHiiimiimmimuiiimmimimmiiumi By bob kinter
You know, we were thinking as we sat around
this last weekend that something was missing
from campus life this semester. 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.

fields. Men will receive commis
sions or ratings at the end of the
course.
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. Further information
•on this progi'am will be announced
soon. •
