Summer School
Plans for summer school tlits year are an
nounced in a recent Daily Xebniskan. Such
an announcement seems rather ironic to men
on the campus who will be in miltary service
very shortly.
But to those who will continue their ed
ucation women, possibly naval reservists,"
4-F's, specially deferred students summer
school is something to start thinking about and
planning for now.
The two sessions in the summer are part
of the accelerated program of the university.
Administrative officials have found that inau
guration of a summer school system makes it
possible for students to complete their educa
tion as fast, as the quarter program adopted at
many schools.
, Just as the university has seen fit to make
changes in its summer program as a result of
the war, students must make similar changes.
They are expected to finish their educations
as fast as possible.
(Irantnig that a college education is
worthwhile in time of war, an education, not
along specialized lines such as physics, chem
istry, medicine and the like, cannot win the
war.
As a matter of fact, ajiy kind of study
will not win the war. It is the application of
the study that is necessary. That is why the
army is justified in permitting certain stu
tlents to complete their educations, but such
students are morally obligated to get that ed
ucation and begin applying it as soon as pos
sible. There is a place too for women and men
physically unfit for military service in .the
war program. They should take that place as
soon as possible and still get an education.
Leisure summer vacationing and the old
job at the ice-cream stand are peacetime en
deavors. If a student is to be used on a full
time basis in the war program either military
or industrial after getting his degree, he
must attend school this summer. That is a
short-cut toward a degree.

Just Waiting... for Good Old Days?
bome of your troops are stationed in
isolated spots . . . They and others have to
stand the monotony of waiting, just waiting1."
Those words first spoken by Madame
Chiang Kai-shek in her historic speech before
congress, and repeated in several addresses
since somehow seem much more applicable
to the people on our own home front than to
those fighting men stationed abroad. But in
an entirely different way.
Our fighting men are waiting for more
fighting iuen, more guns, tanks, planes, car
riers, destroyers and battleships. We at home
are waiting for the return of unlimited sales
of vegetables and fruits, nylon stockings, gas
oline, a r-r. and thick steaks.
In sh.it, too many of us are waiting for
the return of "the good old days."
We want to "get back to normalcy" with
out doing anything to assure ourselves that
"normalcy" will be normal. .True, our armed
forces are getting equipment and supplies,
probably at as rapid a rate as is humanly pos
sible. Eventually, we will destroy the axis,
but post-war international co-operation is go
ing to amount to much more than thinking
about yesterday and superimposing it on to
morrow. It was that thought that prevailed
after World war I.
And those men in the south Pacific, in
Alaska, Africa, Burma, and India, the men
who will eventually have to fight on continen
tal Europe want more than "the good old
days." They are not willing as we seem
ingly are to resolve tho end of the war into
the simple proposition of complete 'destruction
of the axis. The war will not be over until
the problem of peace is worked out, because
somewhere our men will be " ... waiting, just
waiting."
An air corps staff sergeant, writing from
Hickham Field, Hawaii, in telling of the rest
less desire on his part "to do anything but
stand by" says:
"Perhaps we are expecting too much.
When we first entered the military service our
hearts beat faster with the thought of sharing
.the great privilege of fighting for the things
we .love, but then came months of inactivity
which wore dull the edge of the first exciting
keenness and now the single prayer of every
waiting soldier is action give us action.
"We hope the nation's legislators will
heed the stimulating radio message of Madame
Chiang we heard two weeks ago. We trust
they will be spurred on to permit us that
which our allies have been permitted, 'to risk
failure gloriously' rather than remain in the
shadow 'just waiting'."
"We hope; we trust."
"Wo at home cannot propagate plans for
allied strategy. We can forget about the good
old days and start, now, to make sure that the
Mar will be won when the shooting stops.

The invasion of Poland in 1939
was the culmination of a series
of events dating back to the peace
settlement of 1919. This is not to
say that the short comings of that
settlement were the sole or even
the main cause of the present war.
Indeed the iniquities of that set
tlement are often given too much
stress and its constructive features
overlooked.
In two ways the treaties of 1919
set the staere for the 20 years
which followed. In the covenant
of the League of Nations there
was a proclamation of a new in
ternational morality which would
substitute reason in place of
power.
Other Clauses.
But in the economic and po
litical clauses of the treaties
were provisions which, however
justifiable some of them may
have been, created an order un
acceptable to Germany, Italy,
and some of the smaller states of
Europe. The international rela
tions of the 1920's and the 1930's
were the manifestations of the two
conflicting tendencies which were
thus set at work.
