'sGypped Out of Future" the Class of Al Rolls Up Sleeves to Do Something About It

part of most students to disregard the war and make their plans just as If the world were the same as the one they had been brought up to understand. That was last fall.
 Since that time there has been a change of heart. Undergradu- ates accustomed to open the news papers at the sport pages began scanning the headlines and pom dering their meaning. They be- gan turning of the swing bands to hear hte news bulletins on the radio. You began to hear people saying that this time it's differ ent."
 Meanwhile the crisis was al- ready stirring the placid waters of campus life. New recruits swelled the ranks of the Pricneton R. O. T. c. unit. Some students left college to join the armed forces or to drive ambulanceS for the Free French Others left college to get married sooner. Many began neglecting theri work. as reflected in the uniformly lower examination grades received by this years senior class.
 PLAN TO BUILD
 A BETTER WORLD
 These surface indications suggest ed & growing awareness among col lege men of the wars intrusion up- on their lives. What 1t did not sug- gest is the new attitude toward the war that this awareness and this ferment have produced. College men seniors especially still resent this war. but their resentment is turn ing into kind of angry determine tion to do something about 1t.
 Translated into action, that means helping rid the world of fascism It means helping build world where young men will be able to graduate with the promise of 8 future that will not include learning how to kill other men.
 Most of this June's college gradu- ates have come to realize that not until fascism is destroyed will they be able to start the careers for which they have been equipping themselves these past four years. Most of them are ready and re- solved to get 1t over with.
 Like a.1nan who suffers @ blow out on the highway, they realize that there's nothing to do but stop everything, maybe swear a couple of times, and then roll up their sleeves and do the job, When it's done they can get going again.

a measure of economic security. To- day he finds himself unable to cash in on his investment: B.A. degree isn't so important once you're in the army.
 In the second place, the college man finds 1t harder to accept this war and the prospect of fighting in it as docilely as his fellow-draftees For, with the exception of some en- gineering and premedical students, who are generally exempted from the draft and allowed to continue with their vacations, the average college man has taken enough courses in the social sciences to de- velop fairly hard-boiled attitude toward war.
 TAUGHT TO BE SKEPTICS
 In his history courses he has gen. orally learned to hate the social and economic conditions that pro- duce fascism rather than fascism itself. In his politics coures he has usually been taught the defects of democracy rather than its benefits. Until recently the existence of American democracy seemed secure, and professors were more inclined to criticize the operation than de- fend the concept of democratic gov- ernment.
 So it has not been easy for col lege men to acquiesce to the idea of another war to save democracy. They have been taught to be skep- tics and their skepticism was forti- fed by the realization that their own post-graduation plans would be

Most of the young men who will be swapping their caps and gowns for khaki this June began their col- Iege years in world where people were still talking in terms of peace and progress.
 They are graduating into world where much they have learned at college is being plotted out by the awful reality of planetary war and where they find themselves confronted with the possibility of having to fight for the right to live as civilized human beings. No won der they are sore. No wonder they lind 1t hard to adjust themselves to this new world that they had no part in creating.
 In short, the Class of 194l feels gypped out of its future.
 But why should this June's college graduate be entitled to a louder squak than any 22-year-old Amer jean? The draft boards make no distinction. They'll take the Phi Bete they'll also take the boy who didn't finish eighth grade and works be- hind 6 soda fountain. Isn't every body's future being temporarily choked of?
 The answer Is yes. And yet for two reasons 1t seems as though the college graduate is getting a some what rawer deal. Tn the first place, he has usually invested lot of money in his four years of educa- ton.
 Tn those four years he had hoped to equip himself intellectual 1y not only to live richer and happier life, but to insure himself

oThs wheat marketing quota.
on which farmers will vote May

protection Of supplies for the
consumer and protection Of the
market for wheat growers them
selves, sayS c. w. Thorington.
chairman Of the Macomb County
AAA Committee.
The marketing quota insures
plenty o. wheat for every prob
able demand BY consumers in
this country or abroad. Thoring-
ton said, a quota on wheat
may be proclaimed only when
the total supply exceeds . norm
n years domestic consumption
and exports by more than IS
percent. With exports practical
ly shut off by military blockade,
Thorington reports that there
will be almost two bushels Of
wheat on hand for every one
which Il. likely to be consumed
this year In the United States.
In view Of this supply. mark
citing quotas are necessary to
protect the income Of all wheat
farmers, Thorington declared.
In the last two years, the wheat
program, principally the loan,
has held the United States wheat
price 80 to 20 cents above the
world price. However, on the
fact of the large supply in pros
pect for the coming year. the
loan needs the added protection
Of the marketing quota. he said.
Because loans on an uncontroll-
ed surplus would involve too
much risk, they are prohibited
by law when q wheat marketing
quota Il voted down.
II the quota Is approved,
farmers will be able to sell with
out penalty all wheat they raise
on their acreage allotments.
The farmer who has seeded
within his acreage allotment can
sell his wheat just as he always
has. says Thorington. He - also
eligible. for a government loan
on all his wheat.
The farmer who overplants his
allotment may store the wheat
produced in excess Of the allot-
ment. II he sells or uses il =
penalty will be collected. II he
stores It, he can get . loan on
the excess, but at . lower rate
than that available TO the CO.
