Dyamic Idea
(Editor's note: The following editorial
written by the managing editor of the
Daily Northwestern expresses an idea that
is well worth the consideration of every
university student. It is especiallv valu
able reading for those students who will
soon be entering the armed forces.)
Today my roommate loaves, lie is one of
f8 Northwestern men who have been ealld
to active duty in the United States Air corps.
Three years ago many of those men were
freshmen at this university. Three years ago
those freshmen entered college with the news
of iermany's invasion of Poland ringing in
thir ears; with declarations of war by France
and England signaling the outbreak of a sec
ond World war only 20 years after American
Expeditionary forces had returned from the
war to end war. The war that was but a
threat to those freshmen three years ago be
came a realization Dec. IS, 1941, and is a
reality today.
And while my roommate leaves for the air
corps, another friend leaves for a conscientious
objectors camp. Unable to rationalize the em
ployment of Mar as a means of it-solving hu
man conflicts, he prefers to defy the trumpet
ings of patriotism and the condemnations of
ur society rather than commit acts of murder.
SYMBOL OF CONFLICTS
Bolh the air corps cadet and the conscien
tious objector feel that they are doing Iheir
duty; both feel that they are the true patriots.
Both are fighting for democracv as thev under
stand it. The wide breach between the two
is symbolic of the social conflicts which man
has so far been unable to solve by reason.
And in the breach is to be found the question:
What is this "democracy" which demands the
flow of blood for its existence?
When we were young we were told lhat
some day we might be Henry Fords and John
1). Rockefellers. We were told that as individ
uals we were born free and equal; our educa
tion has emphasized our egocentric, nature
the importance of the individual. And so ex
alted has ihe individual become lhat we have
failed to see the limitations within which our
"individual liberty" has been confined. So
blinding has been ihe illusion of individualism
that we have failed to discern the true pattern
of our society.
It is a pattern in which the bright hues of
glistening skyscrapers and surging industry
have obscured Ihe sombre background of dis
ease and poverty, waste and destruction. In
the shadows of our progress can be discerned
the wizened bodies of Ihe destitute, the stricken
faces of subjected peoples. They are the social
slag of our society; they are part of the pat
tern. HUMAN CANCERS
Our eyes have been focused too long on
Ihe bright hues; we have failed to see the clash
between them and the smutty background. The
festers of our civilization have been treated as
isolated by-products of the fight for "survival
of the fittest." We have not recognized them
as human cancers of our society, which gnaw
at the foundations of the skyscrapers of ex
ploited individualism.
Yet too many of us believe that Ave must
fight to preserve the existing systemthe pat
tern in which only the bright hues strike the
eye. Too many of us are fighting to retain
the right of exploiting human lives, and calling
that, right "democracy." We are fighting to
maintain a static order, in which sordid slums
and diseased children and bread! lines of dis-

regarded human beings constitute part of that
which we fight to preserve.
We fail to realize that democracy is more
than anything else an opportunity for adopt
ing and instituting changes in our social pat
tern; that it is an enema for social disorders.
MORE THAN FIGHTING
As such democracy is distinguished from
totalitarian governments in that it is not de
pendent upon the will of an individual or
several individuals, but is dependent only
upon the will of all 1he people. It will die only
when it is not used. Fighting alone will not
preserve it; to die for a static society would
be futile; it wouldn't be worth fighting for.
Those 158 army air corps cadets will be
gone tomorrow. My roommate will be one
of them. At the same time another friend will
become a conscientious objector. Unless those
cadets and all men in our fighting forces
realize the true nature of democracy they
might as well be in a C. O. camp. If they
are fighting for a decadent society, then they
cannot really win the war. They must realize
that democracy is a dynamic idea in which
the keynote is change.
The existence of democracy is in our hands.
The future of democracy is in our heads.

Education Survey Shows Lack

American colleges are suffering
from a shortage of teachers In

. . . Summer School Hit
school would be greatly depleted
because of regular instructors be
ing called into the armed services
and governmental work.
Mr. Moritz stated that other col
leges and universities thruout the
nation have sent requests to his
office for teachers to fill vacan
cies in their faculty staffs.
Replies received from 1,060 out
of the 1717 Institutions of higher
learning in the United States
showed 1,660 teaching vacancies.
All but 435 of these unfilled posi
tions are in fields directly con
nected w ith the war effort.
At the same time, however, that
schools are unable to fill vacancies
in the technical fields, other
schools have chemistry, engineer
ing, and physics staff members
who are idle because of sharply
whittled down enrollment in their
colleges.
In all there are about 90 idle
teachers in the strictly technical
fields, a surplus of over 100 in the
professional fields, and about 270
extra instructors in the liberal arts
fields.
Because of the tremendous num
ber of doctors who have joined the
armed forces, medicine is the most
seriously understaffed field, office
of education statisticians show,
with 575 vacancies and only .seven
trained men available for release.
At the same time there are more
idle teachers in the dental field
than there are positions for them
to fill.
Many of the colleges and univer
sities who were asked about their
teacher problem offered to co-operate
with the government by re
leasing staff members if necessary,
office of education officials report.
