PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE What kind of world do we want? Not the kind our enemies would seek to impose upon us. We want the guiding ideals of justice for which the name America stands. Our honored traditions of freedom, liberty and justice for all are more than sounding words. To preserve these sacred realities Normal College students are giving their money, their time, their lives. The noise of battle does not win the struggle but devotion of earnest patriots does. In this war year 1942 all are eager to serve; we know why we fight and what the end of the conflict will be. We shall keep our human justice and all the liberty which we know how to use in the new world-to-be. Let those who do not know us beware. Our foes will never read the Chinook, but they must reckon with what the students of America want. They want for all the best of what is America. That is the world we want and will gain. Sheldon E. Davis

DEAN'S MESSAGE True guidance is the essence of education and leadership, and college students of nineteen-hundred-forty-two, as of no other year in recent times, will have to maintain a balanced perspective between psuedo and genuine guidance. Will college students yield to the blandishments of easy money in the fluctuating fields of industry or will they guide their lives in terms of planning for a successful and permanent future? The criteria for civilizations have always been expressed in the standards of its men and women. Will our students accept the standards of temporary advantages and fluctuating values, or will they accept mature and far-sighted plans? Both civil and military leaders urge that our young people stay in school, for they do not wish us to repeat England's error of forfeiting education even for a short duration. These may well be, The times that try men's souls, but if we sacrifice today for tomorrow, adjust ourselves to keep a balanced perspective, the way will not be too difficult nor too long.
