If American aimics decided to "put off" fighting for a week;
if our naval fortes determined to hall the hunt foi enemy hub-
marines until next inonth-HOW LONG WOULD AMERICA
REMAIN FREE?
If the pioduters of armament "just foigot" to tutu out guns
and tanks and planes; il Ameikan genual "didn't hac time"
to map our campaigns-HOW LONG WOULD AMERICA RE-
MAIN AN INDEPENDENT DEMOCRACY?
This is a war of minutes; piocrastiuation has become anony-
mous with peifidy. And yet . . .
While we can't think of one puson who hasn't commented
favorably on United Stales Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps
and who hasn't said "I'm going to stait buying Defense Stamps
without fail!"-we CAN think ol scual people who have "delayed
their purchasing' who "won't start buying for a few das" or who
had "just forgotten" to buy a Stamp.
We're not writing this because we feel that the students of
Daniel Baker believe thai V stands for Vacillation. Rather we
want to make plain our assuiunce that il is vitally important for
students to invest their dimes and quailcis in the United Stales as
wholeheartedly as icgiilatly and as systematically as their parents
invest their pay-day dollars.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY REGULARLY and SYSTEMATIC
ALLY . . . just as our wai is more than one isolated infauuy at-
tack; just as it requires much more than one conceited naval drive;
and just as it necessitates iniinitcly moie than a single bombing
flight-evcrything we do MUST be continuous unfaltuing and
constant.
There is more to this war than victoiy; Amciica is fighting
not only for today but for tomorrow ... for future peace and for
the future good of all peoples. The Bonds and Stamps we buy
are not only fighting the war but fighting for the peace.
Students of American colleges arc thinking about this world
to come; many of them are fighting for it. We who remain here
are talking about it reading about it planning for it. WE MUST
ALSO HELP PAY FOR IT just as all Americans must help.
The dimes and quattus we set aside are important to the war
effort yes; but only if they aic put aside regularly and systematic-
ally. Only if they reflect both the uigency of paying for this war
and the continuous dynamic philosophy behind it.
Make a pledge to yourself. Rcmembuing that our search in
the seas and the sky is continuous that the flow of machines and
munitions is never-ending pledge yourself to fall in line with
America . . .
Start buying Defense Stamps today. Start buying them reg-
ularly. And do not waver from your course.

Well peoples another week
which will probably he this "auth-
or's" last. Since Editor Pope Is
not with us dearest Ituth "Wings"
Thomnson the business manager
of this rag litis taken over his du-
ties until his return two weeks
hence from Phllly. Anyway the
girl has bud me reading filler for
the past few hours and I'm even
slug-nuttler than ever as a result
of the maiiucl (7) labor. Dy-the-by
If the filler Is a trlble unrelat-
ed to n collego newspaper If you
can't see the point in a sltme learn-
ing the beneficial effects of prunes
In ment-lonf or nlmulnr dlscrcp-
InnclcH just blame It on my nmn-
turishiiPHs nnd not on Ruth. But
here's this week's accumulation of
slush.
"Flip" Fllppcn and Mary Ann
Mclnnls haven't given us any
"news" ro far this week. Must be
holding out. And Mary Ann didn't
trlble on her 'one nnd only' at the
picnic cither. "Flip" requested us
to sny that some other dame told
n He about him In rcgnrd to the
past Thursday night. Seems that
the blrdle was the cause of their
Inst break-up and not "Flip"; as
usual. And he had more trouble
pntching up the break.
Speaking of picnics IT was a
success. Everybody enjoyed them-
selves nnd in a way that can go
Into print. So everybody's happy.
For Instance there's Ruth Thomn-
son driving "Qooch" Onddy's mo-
del 'T' around nnd then quote
". . . going fish by myself; and
running a trot-line single-handed
in n 'put-put' outboard motor."
Dale Daglcy giving Maxlne Hall
the proverbial "rush." Nell Taylor
tnklng Mary Dean Underwood for
a drowsy ride In a row-boat. Ber-
lle Fallon wearing "his chosen
dnme for the dny" Virginia KIrby.
He had on her kerchief anyway
when he fielded for the lassie while
she batted a .000001 percent Rus-
set Holt arriving on his bicycle as
the picnic was cracking up.
Athene Lewis and H. B. Cur-
nett keeping a corner to them-
selves most of the dny in undis-
turbed pcnccfu!lnes8 except for an
occasional click from H. C.'s cam-
era mostly operated by Athene.
John Eraser trailing nround at the
heels of Ann Ellis. Lamoln Wright
being very attentive to June Sch-
ntedcr. And Irene Hnnson would
liue gone wading but the water
wasn't deep enough.
We wonder who George Gray
courted the other night when he
triple-dated with two high-school
lmys and had such a good time.
Three divided Into two Is 66.66 for
the nctunl volumn and 00 proof
means 4G percent ethanol so the
laddie's blood-tests should be In
the dubious classification. Tull Mc-
Gulre now at lieutenant in the Air
Corps gave several of the gals a
thrill when he visited Browntown
recently.
Latest thing In the way of can-
teen workers is the modern super
man Willie Crook. Now the lad
has the chips to go with his good
looks and boy oh boy are tho
femlne workers of tho establish-
ments going for him in a big way!
From what we hear Saturday night
must have been n big ono for "Bo-
bo" Newsomo and Ruth Meek.
Georgia Brewer must have one
more affair with some guy. She
Is on a party lino (telephone) with
Juno Baker and June can seldom
find the lino freo long enough to
snatch a work with her steady at
Camp Bowlo. Tho straying com-
panions Richard Vaughn nnd
Athone Lewis got together at Ea-
ton's with "Flip" Fllppcn and Mary
Ann Mclnnls Monday night. Dot
Ross was in her "Heaven" Mon-
day morning when she escorted
the entire 156th Inf. band to the
Fine Arts Building to play for

Bllnn McClelland celebrated San

"oft the record" was witnessed
when we saw Merle Cole parked
In Coggln Park in broad daylight.
But the D. B. C. technique works
nny where any time; even If the
technician hasn't been practicing
very (?) much recently.
Flash! Delayed communique
from the lake Indicated that Ann
Ellis and her Lt. had one more big
time there on Monday night. And
we bet that John Ernser stayed
right nt homo by himself that P.
M. like (censored). And more
stuff on the picnic. "Choc" Wet-
zel nnd "Gooch" Gaddy preparing
to fight the U. S. Army because
of a misstatement by a certain
lassie about her big brother's speed
In certain track activities. And
John Ernser preparing for imme-
diate offense or defense with a
certain dock operater. Seems that
the man had Informed Ann Ellis
of John's real age and John dis-
agreed with him. But no action
took place. So Johnie travels over
uj ojep sq pautia 'oipumuoo o
Brownwood breaks a date and
spends the majority of the remain-
ing night talking to the operator
In Comanche because he liked that
lassies voice. Woke up the next
morning in Gorman. Quite a world
traveler.
Gnll Collier Is the only report-
ed casualty of the Jr.-Sr. affair.
Seems that she was see-sawing
with Dale Bagley and got thrown.
And the most humorous thing of
the week Joy Shaw announcing
her engagement to a soldier Col.
Clarence B. Herring Jr. seems
that tho ceremony Is to take place
In the near future; anyway be-
fore the laddie Is transferred. Af-
ter the emergency the couple are
to reside In his home in Jackson
Miss.
Jlmmle Snider Introducing some

which E. P. Murray practices on
our campus. Yes Murray Is brush-

ditches or killing snakes as some
of us uninformed people would
think.
But that Is enough of the stuff
for this week. A bunch of the gang
have gathered in this establish-
ment and a lot of the old Ferdi-

troublesome things that sprout up

Dr. Doubt's budding rubber plants.
'Cause the stuff is apt to get scarce
enough to start rationing other
things besides tires and it we go

JOBS . T1
WASHINGTON (ACP) The pressure of war has prompted the
Federal Civil Service Commission to offer Its "Junior Professional
Assistant" examination to college people for the second time this year.
In previous years lt has been offered only once In January.
Also for the first time it Is open to every college senior or grid-
uate regardless of his major. Each applicant will take tho same two-
hour examination designed to test his general knowledge and adapta-
bility. Openings exist In Washington and In "the field."
The jobs will pay 12000 unless you Indicate willingness to take
less (1440 $1620 or $1800). Especially sought are those Interested In
public admltnstratlon business analysis economics home economics
library science and mathematics. Get blanks and details at the post-
office or Civil Service District Office. Closing date for filing Is April 27.
College students with architectural training are needed by the gov-
ernment in "Junior Architect" Jobs paying $2000. Seniors may apply.
No written test Is given. The Civil Service blank to ask is "Architect
$2000 to $3000 a year."
WAR .
More than 3000000 workers have been trained by the Nation's
schools In special technical lines to serve the armed forces and war
Industries.
Since the report two weeks ago that 9600 of Norway's 10600
teachers had resigned in protest against Nazlflcatlon of the Norse
schools 2000 Norwegian schoolmasters have been arrested by the
Nazis. Almost all Norwegian schools are closed.
Student self-help under NYA may become a war casualty unless
It can prove Itself a war?tlme necessity.
When the President asks Congress coon for funds to operate NYA
and CCC during the coming fiscal year he will probably suggest that
the war functions of the two agencies be merged and that their peace-
time functions be scrapped..
NYA Director Aubrey Williams as well as several educators has
done a good Job of defending NYA before members of the Senate tools
in NYA training shops were obtained before priorities went Into effect
and (b) that a month before the general newspaper attack against
NYA started the agency had begun inventory of its shops for machine
tools that might be turned over to war Industries.
Graduates of military academies and similar schools are urged by
the army to continue their studies until they have reached Induction age
under Selective Service. By attending special army schools such grad-
uates may earn commissions as 'second lieutenants.

Women In Wartime
By DUCKY DAVIS
Have you often heard the saying "this is a man's war?" It
docs not sound logical now. The present generation does not
think in this way. Women as well as most men feel that it is
as much their duty to help win this war as the men's duty. In this
modern age of machinery this generation feels no hesitancy in
asking the women to take the men's jobs in both civilian and
war work.
Whether the American women aid in winning the war by sav-
ing food by training to be nurses or by working in defense plants
making war matetials the United States knows that women are
vitally needed in our war effort.
Most people might argue that women are left at home to care
for their children or teach school or tend to whatever their reg-
ular duities have been. The women are urged to maintain a
normal and peaceful home environment. Women who are free
of responsibility are urged to work in defense plants and in vari-
ous other industries vital to our war effort. We have enough
women to do both tasks-that of keeping a normal home and that
of working in lactones offices etc.
Naturally the women cannot be used as combat soldiers.
This is a job solely for the men. But the women can keep the
homes and the normal environment as has previously been had
by all the American people and the women can keep a steady
flow of munitions and war material to our fighting men. When
the Ameriman people are tested for their strength and courage
there is no greater race. Our fighting men have proven this; and
if given the chance to prove their power American women can
play a more important role in this war and be of more value to
their country than they have in any war.
No this is not a "man's war." This is a fight for the survival
of the greatest government in existence. Both men and women
are needed to succeed in the fight
