Whether jnslifianly or not, the col lope stu dont lias boon Iho target of ji lot of criticism. .And it hasn't been bis fault, for t ho nvcriipe student just doesn't know wlnit to do.

Here are some of the questions asked most commonly by college students with the answers cf oovernnient experts in the bold face type. What's the most useful thing to do be fori beinfr drafted '? Keep studying until called. Get into good physical condition. Read about the new kind of war and why we fight it. Can I continue my studies in the army? Yes.

Are more educated men really needed or jdueild we all iivl into the army w production jobs?

These plans will be announced soon. Is there an over all plan as to the number of soldiers, workers, farmers and doctors or are we all to be put in the army in the hope the problem will work out light? A policy for assuring each man his best possible chance for service is grad ually taking form. What kind of world are Ave going to grad uate into after this war? One thing is sure. We are not going back to where we are. The kind of work we will have after the war depends in large measure upon what we decide we w ant and how vigorously and intelligently we plan ahead to achieve the kind of world we want. Therefore, it is essential to think, not in terms of what is going to happen, but of whai w want to attain.
