ACEDIIS R13US For the first tine in many years Anerica’s thousands of gradu- ates are not just another enploynent problen at a tine when there are not enough jobs to go around. On the contrary, they are ur- gently needed to fill the positions vacated by the nen who have left to serve in the arned forces or our nation. Quite unlike previous years, it is not nerely the graduates ' privilege to work, but their duty. While our soldiers are at canp and at the front, we nust do our part on the hone front until we can join then. It is not for the graduates alone to work; underclassnen as well should contribute their bit during vacations and after classes. Everyone nust do his or her part until this titanic struggle is won, ' and won in such a nanner that the few Nazis, Fascists, and laps that are left won’t soon forget it. The graduates of 1942 have been placed ”in the nidst of things” by the arns of destiny. Their enthusiasn coupled with their opportunities will go far to give then a good start in life. ' In previous years the graduates did not lack any of the enthusiasn, but they did lack the opportunities that are present today. Some of the older generation, and even a few of the younger, will argue that launching your ship of destiny on a rough choppy sea, torn by strife and danger, is anything but an ideal start. Granted it is not the ideal; it is far fron it, and anyone who is tempted to boast of his high wages and his prosperity will do well to renenber that high wages and prosperity are only one side of the picture. On the other side millions of young nen gave up ' their jobs, left their hones, and marched off to meet a ruthless foe. Renenber, many nay never return. Many of this year’s graduates v ill enter the arned forces this summer; the others w’ 1 1 find their v ay there in a year or so. No natter when they go in, they will be fortunate to be ”in the midst of things”; yes, fortunate to havo a personal part in lick- ing the Axis. In later life the satisfaction of having engaged in this crusade to save the world will be compensation for hardships suffered en route. To be left out of this struggle would mean a severe blow to any red-blooded young American who really remembers Pearl Harbor, and who already has a brother in the service. To got ’’into the midst of things” is the ambition of hundreds of thousands of young men of the class of ’42, Hitler and Tojo haven’t a chance.
