The Veteran View Point By Harold Sullivan The compulsory militaty training program is about to die at the hands of congressional politicians, who dare not handle so hot an issue in an election year. In addition, the congress recently proposed a draft ivacation" that will just about end the trickle of men going to our overseas forces. Senator Johnson (Col.) is aftaid that our eighteen year olds will he exposed to lewd women in human cesspools all gver the world. That, indeed, is a noble thought, and surely the mothers all over the country will applaud the worthy senator. Many Colorado matrons will support him in this trite evas ion, which is probably what the virtuous senator expects. This is hound to have a weaken ing effect on our occupational policies. Our depleted military torces in Europe are losing strength and efficiency; consequently, we are losing face with the European populations. We are now offering them a nice democratic death by starvation, which is much more de sirable than dying in a concentra tion camp. However, they don't seem to appreciate the difference. MacArthur, with a small geo graphic area, and a clear policy. is doing very well. Ilowever, he doesn't face the complex multi-ad ministration problems of a polyglot Europe. We need a string draft program to promote the replacements neces sary to our occupational programs. If we don't get it. we may well breed the unrest and poverty that pro duces dictators. Dictators prodtce Wails. Many of out voinrades died to wil this war, lbut we haven't really won it Net. The politicians Inc World War I, and tihey show promise of losing this one if we sit idly by and let them. It may take years of ef. I fort oi the part of this country to sell out ideas to the rest of the world. If we fail to make them stick, we have fought the war in vain. We have won the first round, but tle real fight is just beginlning. This is not the time to quit.

A College Prexy Pictiures Co-Eds (Writltn by H1arild Taylor, 're%ldent. here lawrence cn'ege., in The lagesnt afmazine) The education of woman in this country has been a by-product of the education of men. When wom en found they could not enter men's colleges, except under pro test and the quota system, they formed colleges of their own. When they did so. however: they worked in the shadow of the man's college. They kept the traditional college structure, with the same academic attitudes, customs and courses of study. Even after the number of women in the state universities was allowed to expand, women's education differed very little from men's. One result was that a minority of serious young women, eager for a liberal education, filled the few pri vate women's colleges. The major ity, attending large state-supported universities, were forced to accept the environment into which they came. They played a secondary role, assigned to them by the men already there. An illustration enn be seen in the. way women in the large co educational universities have cop ied the fraternity system. Their sor'orities usually are preo('cutpied with dressing well, excludling un dtesirable wvomen andI finding dtesir ahle nmen. The support this gives to class and race consciousness, to social snobbery and to materialistic v'alues has had serious social ef fects. Yet the college woman, as vision ed in the public mind, Is a sorority girl, She is a popular, pretty, alert, sexually attractive girl wvho deco rates the football stadiums, open c'ars, halirooms and bars of Amter ica. Popular literature, the radlic and the movies all sustain the sor. ority model.

In the years following the last war, hy the gen erat ion we have come to refer to as "lost.P During the Depression a new kind of student began to de velop, although a dominant "col legiate" type remained. The new student was serious about college work, interested in social theory, determined to take advantage of the one opportunity open for eco nomic advancement. During the past six years, new events havo impressed themselves on our society. Relations between worker and employer, husband and wife, economics and polities, gov ernment and industry have altered permanently. Similarly, the charneter of the college woman has altered. With the departure of the college men, and their slow return, college wom en found themselves dominating our campuses. They edited news papers, were elected to student councils, worked part time in fac tories, collected food, bandages, clothing, money for war and relief agencies. Many who previously had seen no reason to take an active p)art in. community affairs worked with tradle unions, the YWCA, the churches and the USO. Others left college to replace the men w'ho had left industry. Still others went to the military services. Something else happened to ouir young women. They fell in love with the boys who were' theit friends. Love itself quickened Its step. Our young women were in voled ite three major (crises of mankind.-marriage, birth, death at a p)oint in their lives when less dtrast ic experiences would ordinar ily have been their lot. They as sumed responsibilities for the care of their own children and for build ing homes. The women who Went into uniform were giv'en many tasks formerly assigned to men, and carried tem ouit efficiently. The young men who were their contenmporaries were matutring with equtal speed, hut in different ways. Nowv that many of them are home again, their attitude toward higher education is one of respect and earnest participation. This attitude has it s' counterpart in college women. Between thtem, our boys and girls are helping to change in this country. .

Ward, head of the University of South Carolina Ex tension Division, recently advanced a plan for'celebrating the sesqui cintennial anniversary of the founding of the University by a building and improvement ptan. The 150th anniversary of the foundation of the University by an act of the state legislature in 1801 will fall in 1951, and acc&ding to Mr. Ward we would have to begin planning now in order to put his proposed plan into effect by that date. The Ward Plan for the celebra. tion would be similar in many re spects to that of many other state institutions and would be climaxed as was the recent University of North Carolina Celebration by the presentation of honorary degrees to distinguished men of this section of the country. A brief outline of the Ward plan is.0fs follows: The University would ask the State Legislature next session (the 1947 session) to re-enact the 1801 bill which called for the establish ment of the University. A techni color motion picture would be made of this procedure in the State House. Prints would be made of the motion picture and shown all over the state and the Sbuth to cre. ate interest in the University and its history. This would be a full time job for several persons if it were to be taken all over the state and shown in every community. The Ward Plan includes at the same time plans for an extensive remodeling and building program for the University. This program would be mapped out for a period of at least five years and the Uni versity would attempt not to ha'-e the State Legislature make an a, propriaion for an extensive build ing program at the University, but would attempt to have the General Assembly increase the annual ap propriation for the University so that one or two buildings enuld he completed each year. In this man ner at the end of five years, or by the fimie we were ready to celebrate the sesqui-centennial arniversary, the expansion program would he completed or well on its way to completion. The third part of the Ward Plan would call for plans to begin now for a pageant that would depict the a history of the University and which would clImax the celebration. The pageant would be held at the Uni versity Stadium and wvould be a grand affair climaxed by awarding of ho'norary degrees. are searching for a set of values to helieve in and live by. And they are looking to their teachers for help in finding it. This fact reveals itself in two ways--in their desire to studty philosophical subjects (and their concern for religious problems), and in their requests for help in choosing a career. Women in colleges are showing greater seriousness in two other ways: they are more politically' con seious, and more critical of their own education. This is true also in the rase. of the men. The war speeded up these developments. WVomen students inevitably were interested in event abroad and at home in which their own interests were so fully involved, and iin which t heir friends, brothers, sis ters and husbands were playing an activ'e p)art.
