With The AST
This week marks the ending of
a five-year tour Of active duty for
Lt. Col. Guy G. Mills who has
served with the US Army Reserve
for the last 25 years. His military
career, began with the last war
when Mills was a first lieutenant
and captain with the Second En
gineers Battalion at Fort Belvoir,
Va. Prior to his returning to ac
tive duty / in this war, Lt. Col.
Mills was state adviser on occu
pational deferments for the Ohio
State Selective Service System,
in Columbus, Ohio.
Coming to State College-May
15, 1941, the lieutenant colonel
was assistant professor of military
science and tactics, becoming pro
fessor on the death of Colonel Ar
dery. Lt. Col. Mills was command
ing officer of the AST Unit un
til the recent addition of Colonel
Taliaferro to the military staff.
Lt. Col. Mills expects to continue
his residence in State College.
AST To• Continue
All the unofficial rumors were
done away with this last week
when it was officially announced
that the AST Unit at Penn State
would be continued for another
term at least. Next term, however,
the curriculum will be entirely
composed Of advanced AST work.
EE-IV, ME-IV, EE-V, CE-V,
CE-VI, EE-VII, will be offered.
There will be no ASTP stationed
at the College; all. those eligible
for another term will be trans

Occupation Forces
To Have little. Difficulty
American occupation troops will
have "little or- no difficulty" in
keeping the rank and file of Japa
nese under control, according to
Dr. Carroll D. Champlin, professor
of psychology.
"Once the war lords are
from power," the education prMes
sor says, "the great majority of
Japs will be only too glad to settle
down to a peaceful exlstence."
Because they are child-like and
long-accustomed to Obeying orders,
the Japanese present a much
easier problem for occupation offi
cials than .the • Germans, Dr.
Champlin claims. The Japs, he in
sists, are "too naive and provin
cial" to attempt underground ac
tivities.
Sel-government in Japan, he
adds, "will be utterly out of the
question" until an entirely new
generation has been educated. Al
lied control of the education pro
cesseg in that nation will be neces
sary, he thinks, for the next 50 to
75 years.
