Are You
Grateful?
It ? often wondered if we the
youth of our great nation realize
just what our government is doing
for us. Do we realize just what
benefit and how much benefit we get from our nation?
We as voters mav not approve of these alphabetical in-
stitutions of NYA and CCC but we as direct recipients are
deeply indebted. We may not approve of the fact that a job
is ready for all who wisli to go to school to learn or prefer to
learn in CCC camps.
Young people are said to take things done for them as
their inalienable rights and never to think what is expected
of them in return. Such is the case when it comes to our
NYA jobs. We go to school on government money and then
laugh at this same government.
Where is your loyalty? Don't you think this fact alone
should merit your interest and loyalty and influence in sup-
porting those who have helped you? Let's not be parasites.
Let's make the most of our education and in turn become bet-
ter citizens for our government. For this was the original
intention of our NYA and CCC ... To educate the youth for
good citizenship so that the government will in turn become
more effective and better serve the American people.
This is not a far-fetched thought. On our own Daniel
Baker campus there are thirty-nine NYA students. There
has been this many more or less every year that we have
had NYA as a part of our government program. Are you
fulfilling your obligations of learning all you can? Are you?

college if you try. But you must
bring three things with you. A cer-
tain minimum intellectual equip
ment habits of work and an interest in getting an education.
Without them you can still get into college and stay for four
years. You can haye a good time; you can keep out of trou-
ble; you can get a degree and become a full-fledged alumnus
with a proprietary interest in all subsequent football scores;
but you can not get an education. Those that have these
things should go to college to get an education. Because the
colleges of the United States have allowed themselves to be
used for purposes other than education it has never been
easier than it is today for those who can afford it to get into
college. Nor has it ever been easier to stay in college and be
graduated. The only thing that is really difficult to do is get
an education.
This does not mean that you should come to college with
the sole purpose of obtaining an education you should not.
In your quest into education you should remember that your
social development means a great deal toward being able to
present yourself to the world as completely educated. But
at the same time education should be always the object of
your concern.. The leaders of our colleges know this and al-
low for an allotted amount of pleasure mixed with the precept
in education.
And education is more than the learning of those things
offered by the college to be learned. After learning and un-
derstanding those things as taught the student is expected
to go further by giving something to the development of these
things. If we did not give our own individual contribution
education would become stale and unimproved.
There is something of true nobility about the boy or girl
who works his way through college. To such young people
as these education is an opportunity not a ritual. The sac-
rifice of gaiety is prized highest. It means work work and
more work. The individual who survives this grueling ex-
perience is likely to display a high order or industry and cour-
age his life long. But it is precisely because the self-supporting
student is likely to be the worthiest student that he should
be relieved of the burden of self-support. If instead of hold-
ing down a job from four to eight hours a day he is able to
devote those hours to the development of his mind our coun-
try might be far ahead.
In England a country which has produced more than its
share of the world's leaders the number of scholarships is
such that almost no boy or girl who deserves a college educa-
tion goes without one. About half of the students at Oxford
and Cambridge are there on scholarships. The Scotch have
the world's most comprehensive system for discovering prom-
ising young people and supporting them in college. Hence
the Scotch rule England.

Sadie Hawkins Day
Dear Editor:
Out of a clear sky last fall came
a publicity windfall in the form
of the Sadie Hawkins Day parties
which college students all over
this country and Canada as well
organized all of their own ac-
cord. Sadie Hawkins Day "a new
minor national holiday" as Life
magazine called it was inspired
by an episode in our L'l Abner
comic strip. We write to you of
this in the hope that you might
consider inaugurating a Sadie
Hawkins Day affair at your col-
lege as a means of gaining for it
j musing and pleasant publicity.
We have written editors of all
t;uch papers there are some 400
running the feature and their to-
tal circulation is between 20 and
25 million suggesting that they
help out as much as they can any
organization planning Sadie Haw-
kins parties. With the benefit of
the specialized professional direc-
tion of your office a Sadie Haw-
kins Day celebration at your col-
lege should be assured of success.
While in L'il Abner the action
of Sadie Hawkins Day parties No-
vember 4 parties need not neces-
sarily coincide. That or any date
thereafter is feasible. We would
appreciate knowing of your in-
terest so that we may do our own
best in assisting you in any proj-
ect you have."
