The Moon Is Down
Wo rarely take time out. to devote space in
Hie editorial columns to comment on moving
pictures we liavc seen, whether our reactions
yore good, had or indifferent.
This week, the movie version of Steinbeck 's
"The Moon is Down" is showing at one of the
local t healers.
( 'We saw the picture and liked it.
Most students who saw it termed it . .. a
pood picture, as propaganda pictures go." But
we think it was a little more than that. Stein
berk, in his own inimitahle style, tells, ihrough
1he simple words of a peace loving people, the
reason for free thinking nations never being
subjugated to the desires of dictatorial leaders
Time and amain throughout the picture Stein
bock's theme is apparent: ihe Utile people, be
lliev Yugoslavs, (irecks, Belgians, Danes or
Norwegians -will never submit completely to
Ihe selfish desires of a Hitler, a Tojo, or any
dictator.
They will never submit because "the only
difference basically between the (lermau out
look and our outlook is that you Germans can't
seem to understand that above all, we want
our leaders to be leaders by choice.
"You can kill our leaders, but they will be
replaced. In our system of government, every
person when the emergency arises becomes
:i leader. You can stop us from fighting, simply
by taking away our arms and imprisoning or
killing our fighting men, but you can never
kill our spirit; you can never rid our minds
of a desire for free thinking.
"Some day, in tin future, the spark of that
desire will i'an into a mighty flame to wipe
you. and Your kind, from the face of the
Propaganda? Possibly, but more probably it
is the very heart of the thing for which we arc
lighting the day when all of the peoples of
1he world will have "loaders by choice," will
have attained that "desire for free thinking."

OPEN DOOR TO JOBS.
WASHINGTON. (ACP). Uncle Sam has
propped the doors open for college graduates
necking professional careers in government
service.
In a unprecedented anouncemont, the Civil
Service Commission reported it will accept ap
plications for positions as junior professional
assistants as rapidly as recent college gradu
ates and college seniors can fill them out.
"Junior professional assistant" is the civil
service term for the begining grade of profes
sional service, a grade requiring training but
rot experience. Base salaries at the junior pro
fessional assistant level are $2,000, but war
time overtime pay for the 48-hour week brings
actual compensation to $2,433 a year.
Here are the precedent-shattering provisions
of the commission's announcement:
1. No time limit is set for receipt of appli
cations. 2 Examinations will be held periodically
AS the applications come in.
3. Seniors may file applications when they
lire a semester or two quarters from gradua-

Barracks bags and sergeants are the must annoying con

Barracks hags are canvas closets in which one hides things one

KVANSTON, 111. (ACP). North
western university's educational
program for the duration will be
(1) to help defeat the axis, and
(2) to maintain well-rounded edu
cational opportunities for women
students, men in deferred cate
gories, and freshmen under draft
age.
This two-sided program was an
nounced by President Franklyn B.
Snyder in a message to under
graduate students and to fresh
men who will enroll in the uni
versity for the summer quarter.
Cooperate With Army.,
The university, President Snyder
said, will co-operate with the army
and navy in providing specialized
war training programs to the limit
of its capacity. Already the uni
versity is carrying on many such
programs, he said.
Continuation of an extensive
war training program will not
prevent the university from carry-
tion and receive provisional appointments be
fore graduation if they are successful on the
test.
War is responsible for this unusual oppor
tunity for college-trained persons.
"Anyone who has completed or is about to
complete a full 4-year college course is eligible
to take Ihe test," Civil Service officials say.
"But women are especially urged to apply,
particularly those with studies in public ad
ministration, business administration, econom
ics, economic geography, library science, his
tory, public welfare, statistics, mathematics
and agriculture.
There are other new job openings for inex
perienecd persons without college degrees
opportunities for being paid to learn mechan
ical and scientific techniques.
The government is accepting applications
for trainees in technical and scientific aids
from persons who have had at least one unit
of high schoolphysies, chemistry, mathematics,
biology or general science. Those passing the
tests will be assigned to Washington labora
tories of such agencies as the National Bureau
of Standards, the Weather Bureau and the Na
tional Institute of Public Health.
Base pay for trainees is $1,440, with over-
time pay bringing the total to $1,752.
ing on its regular educational
work for students who arc not
in the armed service President
Snyder said. He emphasized that
housing facilities will be avail
able for the undergraduate student
body.
Offer Year's Science Courses.
President Snyder said 17-year-old
students who wish a full year
of college training before enter
ing the armed services will be
able to take courses which have
been strengthened in the fields
of mathematics, chemistry, phys
ics, engineering, pre-medieine, and
pre-denistry.
Commenting on the impact 'of
war on social life and intercol
legiate athletics, President Snyder
said the university believes that
especially in time of war a sane
social life and properly controlled
athletics are worthy parts in the
total educational experience and
that the university will make ade
quate provision for both.
