ents who have been the habitual church-gores are still going, and the same students who have been hab- itual about staying out late Satur- day night and sleeping Sunday morning are still running true to form.
 The What the Hell?" attitude is growing to some extent as the world situation continues to grow darker. But at the present on this campus there has been no we'll defined swing of morals either to the development of a better or 8 poorer moral standard.
 Closely tied in with the question of the effect of the world situation on college morality is this question of its effect on social life. There have been a good many more social functions on the s. M. U. campus this year-lnore dances, parties, picnics. People have been pretty gay at these affairs, have laughted a lot, but down underneath they hay been serious about everything.
 The boys who dance and are seemingly so carefree at night gather during the day to discuss when their draft number will come up, whether or not they will be deferred so they can finish college, and most import ant, whether we will actually be engaged in war any time soon. You can see them on the campus, in the

Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, in turn, has been accused of labor batting.
 The ability of the TwU to cripple transportation is hardly doubted. Last March it struck the Manhattan bus lines. forcing 100000 daily riders to use other means of travel. It numbers many cab drivers among 1t members and its closed shop agreements with the private subway lines were ironclad. This is another point of friction for the city asserts civil service cannot be influenced by the closed shop.
 The contracts expire June 30. Mayor LaGuardia is reported ready to offer subway workers annual tn- creases totaling $2,000,000 in an eff fort to head of the strike. The TWU wants the increases and con- tinuation of its closed shop. Until 1t was enjoined by the supreme court the union picketed the homes of Il men who resigned from the union after unification placed them under civil service.
 Justice Orders Trial
 On June 6, Justice Lloyd Church of the state supreme court, ruled that the question as to whether the board of transportation has power to enter collective bargaining con- tracts with the union could not be decided until a trial was held. Per- tinent facts and circumstances sur- rounding the debate would be pre- sented at this hearing.
 Heading the union fight is Mi- chael Quill. lowest paid ($2,500 year) big time union leader in the country and a fighter since the Black and Tan battles in Ireland. Quill, who came here with Black and Tan bullet in his hip, worked himself up to the City Council from subway ticket agent. He was de- feated for reelection and his op- ponents frequently have labeled him a Communist. This designation he denies.
 Quill has a strong hold on his union as evidenced by the turnout of 10000 for the Garden rally at which Murray spoke last May g. The city is completing police and other arrangements for the walkout but what plans have been made to keep traffic moving-sho 1t oc- cur-are closely guarded secrets.

SECURITY CARDS
 MOST ESSENTIAL
Applicants for Work Ad- vised to Obtain Own SO-
 Cial Security Number

Any boy or girl leaving school this June and looking for a job for the first time is urged to visit the So- cial Security Board field office to secure his own social security ac- count number card, according to a statement today by Robert E. Aus tin, Manager of the Boards field offie at 108 Bank Street, Waterbury.
 Most employers today insist that new employees supply their account numbers before starting work, MT. Austin pointed out, and all those who visit the State Employment Service office at 123 Bank Street. Waterbury, for help in finding work will be asked for their social security account numbers when they regis ter for work.
 On the other hand, any young person who has previously worked in a covered job presumably has already obtained a social security account number card and, if SO, should use that same number when seeking new job. If the original account number card has been lost, duplicate will be supplied free of charge upon application at the Boards field office, MT. Austin added.
 Each person should use his own account number. card under all cir- cumstances and make sure that the employer records the name and number as shown on that card. Otherwise, confusion and possible loss of wage credits may result, causing inconvenience to the em- ployer and possible financial loss to the worker Or his family.
 School authorities are invited to cooperate with the Boards field office in facilitating applications for account numbers by graduates or others leaving school to look for work. Ordinarily 1t takes only a few minutes for any to file the appli- cation and secure his account num- Der. Applications may be secured or filed by mail if convenient, but promptness is urged in order that each young person graduating from school into job will not be handi- capped by failure to have his &C., count number card on hand when he applies for work or starts in on the new job.
 In addition to the regular office hours at 108 Bank Street Water bury, the Social Security Board provides part-time facilities in other Communities for the convenience of employers and workers. A represen- tative of the Board will be at the Post Office in Naugatuck on Tues, June 1T, 24, July 1st and every Tuesday thereafter The hours are 1l:00 a. m. until 12:15 p. m. At Seymour Post Office, June 20th and July 20th, from 12:O0 Noon to 100 p. m.

NO MATTER WHAT HE "NAJORED". IN--
 Graduate Knows World Do Move And Is Ready to Move With It

To discover what the Glass of '4l thinks Of Ssle uncertain world into which 1t is graduating, NEA Service and The Waterbury Democrat asked six college edi- tors to write series of articles, of which this is the last.
 
 By CECIL EDWARDS Southern Methodist University, 41
 Written for NEA Service
 There are plenty of people who seem to think the world is rushing headlong toward destruction. Des- 5ruction is not a future-it is an end.
 Most of this years college grad mates believe there is going to be D future. What sort, we don't even try to guess, and we are afraid to make very elaborate plans for the Suture.
 Yet we believe in a future, even If we are not kidding ourselves that maybe we will just get of with years training and then be able to kettle down to our chosen profession and ordinary living. We are more or less living from day to day.
 It Is my belief that the princi- pal contribution of college in pre- paring the 194l graduate for his role in whatever kind of future comes has been to train him to adjust himself to changing condi- tions. He has been trained to do R variety of things, and if he is not able to do the thing which he specialized in, he will be better able to adjust himself to doing something else.
 Undergraduate morality has not been undermined completely by the world crisis. Some students are a little more feverish in their search for good time, and I think there has been an increase in drinking, but this does not apply to the student body as whole. CHANGE NOT OBVIOUS ON THE SURFACE

in suggestion and symbolism than the flowers. It always seems to me that the commital service is most heart-breaking in the late fall and early winter, least hard and diff1- cult in the springtime. In the spring time of the year, when the time of the singing of birds has come, when the buds are bursting on the trees, when the Towering shrubs are in full bloom, when the flowers are at their best, 1t is hard not to believe the glorious gospel of the resurrection.
 When we grow older, as the diffi- cult and tragic questions of this mortal life press upon us, the beauty of the flowers still has a message for us. We bewail the tragic in- humanity of man to man, we bow our heads in shame as we think of the brutality of modern war, the sin and crime of 1t all. Why should man commit this folly and burden the future generations with the pen- alty of his sins, his weaknesses, his greeds? We have no final answer but this we know that while man destroys and lays waste, while man mains and kills, the seasons came and go, the flowers blossom on the hillsides, the earth struggles to bring forth her increase. I have off, ten thought of those peoples that bloomed "In Flanders Field" War is mans invention. War is the bit- ter fruit of mans selfishness and greed. Gods will is peace and beau- ty. The cynic says, "'There have al- ways been wars and there always will be wars" No, not if this is Gods world.

Coop store, in the frat houses, and they are completely serious about the situation in which they find themselves.
 The undergraduate could scarce- ly avoid knowing the most signi- cant happenings from day to day If he tried. And in most cases he doesn't try to avoid them.
 Instead he discusses and evalu- ates them with his friends and to- gether they try to figure out how those events will influence them, what effect current happenings in the crisis will have on their lives and what they are to do about it.
