Assistant News Editor . A distant Advertising Manager ♦ Ir.jduate Counselor Saturday Morning, February 13, 1943 As I Would Not Be A Slave... There are times these days when I must come here, to stand in the shadow of the man Lincoln. To search, in the replica of his kind face—and in Jhe mold of his strong, homely, body for something of i.he co ul 'age a ’nd the honor find the vision that were his. ■ —:b.», 'And always when I come to this place where )/;en have raised a shrine to his memory—l find )i'iace. And in his immortal words, now a century old, a promise to all mankind for days yet to come. “As I would not be a slave” ". . . and I ponder his words . . . “In giving freedom to the slaves, we insure freedom to the free, honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve”’. . . and I know that this man saw* as I must see—beyond the selfish borders of a nation. That in the gran deur of his'soul, he visioned a world - . , . all men set free. And willed to - as • the lorch ; gSriiw : -hi&lV lest "In the end we, too, become '."■’laves. And thus I see my mission and my task. This freedom is not for us alone. Not selfishly for America. The light that Lincoln saw cannot burn ■J'or the few who are free, in ttie ugly shadow of anguished millions enslaved. ' “So would I not be a master” . . , and I see mil lions of men . . . young men in a “nation con ceived in liberty ajjd dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” I see theip in blazing skies and on flaming wa in jungle fox holes and desert dugouts— dgring to risk the infiinite swetneess of life—that there shall be no masters. That the dictates of God ;md the dignity of man shall in the end prevail. “It is for us the living .... That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall’not perish from the earth.” - And .so in .the shadow of this man who saw the vision for freedom for all men—l rededicate 'jayself for the fight for freedom. For I would neither be a slave . . . nor a master. —By permissison Saturday Evening Post. This Brydock Business ' Penn State’s student leaders have shown a def inite. tendency to limit social activities this se- mester. Some might say that having a Soph Hop. and the Junior-Senior Ball in one semester is not cut ting down. Perhaps that one item doesn’t have a lid. But that’s all the further student leaders are going to go. They’ve stopped the many leaks which may !i(;ad to a bigger social calendar. Collegian needs only mention the ban on student automobiles on campus,'and the statement of opinion by Cabinet that it would be more patriotic not to have im ports for the duration. ' They’ve gone further and sent a recommenda lion to 1 those in charge of the Military Ball ask ing that, the band for the event be confined to a Campus orchestra, and scheduled the Mil Ball date with that proviso in mind. . Attempts are being made to start another dry dock. This move, too, rubs against the policy of curtailment which student leaders have been try ing to follow.' Drydocks are fine. There’s no drink ing and all the fun is had right on campus. But when many other measures have been taken to cut down social life at Penn State, Dry- Downtown Office 119.121 South Frazier St. Phone 4872 • . Peggy Good Allan W.

WINTER Hope the coeds enjoy what may be their last thrilling weekend. Seems the Curtiss-Wright girls will be invading the campus come Monday, and you never can tell what may happen. .If they’re 'like some of the ones that left here for work at other colleges, times will really be tough. What it they’re all like Mai-y Lou- Hansen who left to train at another institution? - Socializing Today it’s the delta gamma’s turn to get in the news, what with a dinner-dance tonight at the Lion. Back for the occasion are alumns Gwen Harris, Beth Pain, “Skeets” Knecht, Louise Hack, and Marge Zint . . . Among those dragging dates to the affair are Elaine Park-Dan Gillespie; Margie Cherry-Fielder Newton, sps; Martha James-Dick Collins, spe; Sue Haye-Johnny Alli son, kappasig; Barbara Keast-Dick Marsh, teke . . . Barney Plesser is back in town for a- few days. Remember him—he was chairman of the curfew this summer. Hope he gets lotsa sleep while he’s •here. , What's Next So there is a lot of stuff going on this weekend like the Collegian Dance last night, which wasn’t bad. Seems like more people like to dance than subscribe, but then, that’s' okay. Maybe they can’t read, After all,some people can’t do everything . Getting ba'.'f- tojhe business at hand, there’s also a play this weekend. In a C? u Olej?f weeks, ,it seems there’s going to be a big dance. In the mean-' time, though, and in all the other lulls between the storms, how about a little inexpensive enter r . tainment, say, like Drydock? It’s runiored that going to be a meeting of the big-wigs Mon day to. give their ultimatum on the subject, Hgw. about thinking_of guys that don’t have fratern itie%,to>ang out in-When you reach your destina tion? .

For instance, there’s Bob ißitzman, who, enjoys his phys. chem. lab. Or is it that red-head he’s concentrating on Out at the kappasig house, Chuck Peck and Johnny Al lison are sharing their room with a woman. Never mind, IFC, it’s of the canine variety.
