Students Unmoved At Conscription Call
The war scare is having its effect on college students. Statements concerning the defense question made today by J. H. Nelson, associate dean of the College, and Miss Marie Miller, assistant dean of women, confirmed this conclusion.
making any definite plans," he stated.
When Dean Nelson was asked if he thought there was a change of attitude in college students because of the indefinite future, he replied that he had noticed much "uncertainty in planning courses." "No one is?
"The boys of the national guard units, who were in school," he said, "were badly demoralized before they were called. They had little interest in their studies."
Not Like 1917
He said that the feeling was nothing like that in 1917, and added, that in this section of the country, which has always been considerably temperate, concern was not nearly as strong as it was in the east.
Miss Miller said that the only influence upon the women had been more marriages and greater opportunities for jobs.
"New fields are open to them,to which they have never before had access," she stated.
She felt that the girls seem to be "building for today, not for tomorrow." She said that the women seemed to feel that they should obtain as much satisfaction and enjoyment out of life right now, as they possibly could.
131 Alumni Marry
Last month's University Graduate Magazine listed marriages of 131 alumni.
there is a large demand in the University for defense preparation measures. The School of Engineering has planned five national defense courses to present during the second semester, although only two have a definite chance of being scheduled.
Dean Nelson said that there has been a greater demand than the University is able to meet for the aviation course; and that there has been a large number of calls for transcripts, since two years of college is required for elegibility for admission to naval and army flying cadet schools.

"If I have to go, O.K."
"If General Sam says step up, there isn't much I can do about it."
"I'll go when they call me, but until then I intend to finish my education."
"Sure I'll go if I'm called, but I don't think I'll have to. My eyes and teeth are pretty bad."
Consensus of campus opinion seems to be that five years ago it may have been smart for college students to be pacifistic, but today they just
do not care.
that their younger countrymen lacked feeling.
For the past 15 years they have been taught that war does not solve anything.
When France fell last spring, Americans looked toward the country's resource of strength and courage, the youth. And many found
... and a simple solution
When the Bell System was still very young, a problem arose: How to assure—at lowest cost—a dependable supply of telephone apparatus of high quality and uniform standard?
As the System grew and the telephone network became more complex, this problem of supply grew more difficult. But it was solved this way.
Western Electric was given responsibility for manufacturing, purchasing and distributing the equipment needed by the telephone companies. The concentration of these functions has resulted in keeping quality up and costs down—to the benefit of every telephone user.
