RA star Correspondent

Ada. o., April IA have Just
had 8 preview Of what the Ameri-
can college campus will be Ike, SIX
months from now. It's evactly what
Joe College has clamored for, as
eirls aren't going to like 1t even
long as I can remember. But the
q little bit-and Joe College, now
IA New Guinea or Italy or England,
kets no good out Of 1t.
The Ohio Northern University,
Afethodist Institution located here,
normally has about 600 young men
and $50 young women. Right now
e has about 10 goods and some
90 men, Of whom a third are pre-
theological students, mostly mar
fied and with student pastorates.
Next year there will be even fewer
men, and don't think that they can't
and won't be independent in decid-
ang which goods to honor with their
lcompany.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS
OF DAY ANALYZED
"Better Men for Better
Times" Issued By Qua.
Citizenship Commission

Washington, D. c., April 10 -
(SpeciaD-A statement of principles
Of the Commission of American
Citizenship, in the form Of a small
volume, has just been announced by
the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Patrick j. Nc
Cor1nick, rector Of the Catholic
University of America and presi-
dent of the Commission. Under the
title, Better Men for Better Times,
the statement was written by the
Rt. Rev. Msgr. George Johnson,
director of the Commission, with the
collaboration of the Rev. DR.. Robert
Slavin, o. P. assistant professor Of
philosophy Of the University.
The book sets forth the basic
philosophy of the Commission,
which is the organization founded
by the American hierarchy for the
broadenng and deepening of good
citizenship through the educational
processes of the Catholic schools of
the United States. The action of the
hierarchy followed the letter in 1889
of Pope Plus XII, authorizing Catho-
lie University to ''evolve construc-
tive program Of social action
fitted in its details to local needs,
which will command the admira-

ton and acceptance Of all right
thinking men,"
Definitely written as declaration
Of the policy of the Commission.
the book has a far wider area OF
interest than the ordinary idea OF
educational context It deals wildly
and succinctly with problems which
must be solved for the security OF
American society. With honesty and
courage it appraises not only the
great social difficulties Of today but
the reasons for their existence and
offers solution for these problems.
Although the book Is only 124
pages long, 1t covers the wide range
of social problems in government,
economics, and education which
confront all American thinkers. 1t
finds solution for them in an evalu-
alton by religious standards of all
social living; and 1t does this with
clarity of style and thought which
makes it notable in social litera-
ture. Better Men for Better Times
is not merely the statement of a
visionary panacea for existing evils.
It is clear and thrilling chart for
the navigation of the troubled seas
of today and tomorrow.

Joe College Takes CT. Degree
While Dateless Goods Languish
AIRS EFFECTS ON OHIO TOWN AND UNIVERSITY

The three sorority houses are
fun, but Of eight fraternity houses,
only two are open. A private fam
lily occupies the Theta Nu Ep-
Silon house, and the old cannon is
gone from the lawn - perhaps into
the war scrap drive.
Presser Hail, them usic building
where Prof. Haydn Owen trained
capella choirS that used to tour
the country with distinction, is
closed. So is the science building
We dropped in on the perennially
most popular prof. DR.. Childe
Harold Freeman, and found him
teaching Shakespeare to six girls
and two boys.
WAR WORKERS MOVE IN
Ada is a small town, and Ohio
Northern was its largest industry.
So I came here expecting to find
the village in the doldrumS. In
stead, I found general business
booming and real estate values up
some 20 per cent. That Is because
Lima, 10 miles away, has sent an
overflow of war workers to take
the place Of the missing students.
IT used to have quite a student
business" reported Bert Gardner,
nearest druggist to the campus, but
when the college dropped from $50
to $50, that disappeared. However,
we now have more farmer business.
They used to hop into their cars
and go to Lima every time they
wanted pill. Now they come here. J"
The university is hard hit, but
the town is flourishing. And even
the school is going to survive be-
cause its friends have rallied
around. The parent Methodist
church gave $4,000 this year, the
local church $4,000; Ada merchants
raised $4,000 and the alumni $1,000.
This, with drastic retrenchment, Is
pulling the institution through.
Without even a suspicion Of
gloating, but philosophically, the
university management wonders
now If Ohio Northern isn't better
off after all, than those institu-
tons which expanded to train
army and navy students and now,
suddenly, have had the govern
ment courses pulled out from I'M
der greatly increased budgets.
These still face the readjustmentS
that Ohio Northern already has
made.
