It Needs Backing
No matter what may happen in the shift of
r indent government to fit wartime conditions,
one thing is certain. It must be continued.
• That sfatment is not said as a boost to AU
.College Cabinet, WSGA, IFC or any form of stu
dent government, for the mere purpose of patting
them on the back.
They mean a lot more than just their names.
And when the Daily Collegian continually sup
ports the actions of All-College Cabinet, it does
no with a definite purpose in mind. That is so
that student government at Penn State can be as
strong as it possibly can. Noting conditions in
many colleges where students have no voice in
what.the college does is reason, enough to pull
strongly for the student government. It's some
thing students-have always looked forward to—a
part in helping the College map out its programs
and activities.
Student government teaches democracy. It also
teaches the students themselves how to meet
problems here. It dumps tough situations on the
;• indent's laps so that they can well handle the
problems when they face' them after tlieir col
iiege days.
Thus it has to be built up. It has to be fostered.
31; has to have support. The ideal of it is some
thing to look to.
• True, it has many little faults, and perhaps
’.sometimes big ones.,But these must in some meas
ure be partially overlooked, or if criticized, criti
cized constructively.
. There are times when the element of democ
racy has to be dropped in order to foster it. Some
times it has to be changed to a more rigid form
when a crisis comes, so that it can survive after r
ward as strong as ever. Now a crisis is present.
The setup will have to be changed to perhaps 'a
•3 ess representative form. But now,'more than
over, it needs support, not criticism. Else' the
'student would have no voice.
Flaying With Fire
Four acres of ‘ol Mount Niitany’ were burned
Sunday afternoon from a forest tire' which was
caused according to the. fire warden for this dis
trict by ‘soudent’s negligence.’ Ofliciais are of the
opinion that an open campfire built by picknick-
Vrs either was not properly extinguished or got
out of hand and resulted in the blaze. Only the
prompt reporting of the fire averted a major con
flagration.
When- it comes right down to it, the fire ward
en has no cold proof that students caused the
fire. However, residents of that neighborhood see r
ing a Penn State group in that immediate vicin
ity oir Sunday and all indications point to the
fact that. they, wore responsible..
But who. was to blame Cor this incident is not
the point. .Now.it is time .to make sure that no
more, shell near-disasters occur.
Spring weather wilt bring out more and mure

By Associated Collegiate Press
LOS ANGELES, CALiF.—(AGP)—The Forgot
ten Man was a different kind of hero than is com
monly supposed, has less glamour, but should
rate with the immortals, maintains Dr. Frederic
P. Woelner, professor of education at the Univer
sity- of California.
“The first allusion-to ‘the-forgotten man' is con
ceded to have been made by Prof.' Charles Sum
ner of Yale in 1871. He applied the term to the
quiet, unobtrusive householder, who worked hard,
sent his children to school and managed to save
a little-money for emergencies. The first Forgot
ten Man was in no sense a' bum; and it: would'
still be appropriate to pay a little tribute now and
then to hom as the small man with a surplus."
AUSTIN, TEXAS—(ACPI—When . the war is
over and the soldiers turn civilian again, Univer
sity of Texas business administration graduates
returning from service again, will be prepared
to start looking for jobs immediately.
During the -depression years, when jobs were
hard to get, the school of business administration
worked out an arrangement with students for
preparation of printed “data sheets,” carrying a
picture of the student and a statement, of his
qualifications for employment.
“There are so many jobs open now that a stu
dent does not need the data sheet as much as in
other years,” Dean J. A. Fitzgerald commented,
“but most of our graduates are having them
printed this spring' any way. The boys plan to'
keep theirs and put them into circulation when
the war is over and they are de-mobilized.”
Each student has 200 copies of his data- sheet
printed. Half of them he uses himself in looking
for employment, while the dean’s office keeps
the rest to distribute to companies calling for
graduates. ' •
Living Tabloid
College theatre groups now have opportunity
to stage a novel war-time play about better nu
trition and effective management of available food
supplies.
The show is “It’s Up to You,” which had its
premiere in New York on March 31 under, direc
tion of Elia Kazan, director of the current Broad
way successes, “The Skin of Our Teeth” and
“Harriet.”
Using “living newspaper” technique, the New
York production had 27 scenes. But to mobilize
college and community thespians in getting facts
of the, food situation to the public, and 1 Vs-hour
version in six scenes and a tabloid edition run
ning 25 minutes will be supplied to non-com
mercial groups through OWI.
Films provided “scenery” with action taking
place below or beside the screen. The government
hopes to botain a hundred productions of “It’s
Pp to You” by college- groups this term and in
early summer sessions. . .
Education Elsewhere
War’s impact on American. education is. strong
enuogh—but nothing like the problems of "educa
tion in bleeding, Russia. According to a report
recently received in Washington from V/P.' Po
temkin, commissar of education, Russia has kept
interference to a minimum amid actual combat.
Most schools maintained schedules. In districts
temporarily seized by Nazis, the majority of chil
dren, were evacuated deep into the rear in good,
time. Since numerous school buildings .used for
war purposes, schools frequently operates in two
or three shifts.
As territory is freed, schools are restored. In
the Moscow region, for example, 909 of 926
wrecked schools were fully reestablished by last
May. Nor is there a teacher shortage in the USSR.
This is largely due to timely evacuation of teach
ers in invaded parts to new locations. New crops
of teachers’ college graduates are helping to keep
up the supply.
ests. But more and more campfires needn’t cause’
more forest fires. ' -
Every student should know a campfire is or is
not fully extinguished apd likewise they should
•know that there are proper and improper places
to build campfires.
No one wants to set the world on fire literally.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Dr.Dmmmond
Gives Physical
Fitness Advice
Advice on the relation of food
*o physical fitness, recently given
to students at the Pennsylvania
State College, is applicable to
every young man preparing to en
ter the armed forces of the United
States.
Dr. Laura W. Drummond, head
of the department of home eco
nomics, has advised students here
to pay strict attention to their
daily diets and to eat with the
purpose of supplying all physio
logical needs.as well as to satisfy
their appetites.
“When you join the ranks of
the armed services,” she said, “you
become a member of the best fed
army' any. nation has ever had.
No army, however, can be strong
er than its individual men.”
Dr Drummond suggested the
fallowing daily diet:
1. Milk—l or IVs pints.
2. Egg—l if possible (or substi
tute if necessary beans, peanuts,
cheese, or more milk or meat).
3. Meat fish,- or fowl—l or
wore servings.
4. Potatoes—l or more serv
ings.
5. Vegetables—2 or more serv
ings, one green or yellow.
6. Fruits—2 or more servings.
One citrus fruit or tomato, or
other good source of Vitamin C.
7. -Cereal and breads—whole
grain or enriched.
8. Butter—l to 3 servings.
9. Other foods as desired to
round out the meal.
“A steady diet such as this,”
Dr. Drummond said', “will sup
ply all the needs of a man train
ing in Florida’s sunshine, the • sol
dier stationed in the snows of
Alaska, the ' skilled pilot flying
over Berlin, the man- behind the
tank in North Africa’s desert, the’
paratroops, who drop behind the
battle; lines, and the crew of the
submarine lying at. great depths.
“Tne right food for the soldier
means a stronger body, better
health, less fatigue, an alert mind,
keener vision, and quicker heal
ing wounds.”
