The lata President Franklin D. Roosevelt once
said "The only thing we have to fear Is fear itself."
This statement has been hailed time and time
again as one of the great utterances of recent times.
It hat been quoted repeatedly by Fourth of July
speakers, as well as other noted orators.
Roosevelt was right, without question. What-

ever one thought of his political philosophy, one Roosevelt. They dared to do something different,
could hardly accuse Roosevelt of cowardice. He and for a time at least, they succeeded. They
was a master politician, If not a master states- changed the history of the world. They changed
man. He handled matters of state with suavity the world, not always in the way they intended,
and finesse. He was not always right, but then, but changed It nevertheless. They were not afraid
he was only human.
But how many people In the American busi
ness world, yes. even how many students, are
seared to death every waking minute of their
lives. From the time they learn to toddle about
and otter their first "da-da," they are scared
silly. They are afraid mainly because of their
social standing. They want recognition. They
do not like to be called nasty names. They do
not want their ideas questioned. They do not
want to be referred to as "different." As a re
sult, they conform. They conform not necessarily
because they think they are doing the right
thing, but because they don't want to be dif
ferent. Some people go around all through their lives
nursing groundless fears. They want to "keep up
with the Jooses." They Join the right clubs, the
right groups, and buy the right clothes, not be-
to be "different."
I have a number of people say to me that
they either agreed or disagreed with the views
expressed In this column. "Why don't you write
a letter to the editor about It?" I asked them.
In the vast majority of cases, the answer was
"Oh, I don't want my name in the paper," or
"I wouldn't dare. What would people think?"
So who cares what people think? The Important
thing for each Individual Is the ability to 'live
with himself and know within himself that he
has done the right thing. Persons who sacrifice
their own beliefs for the sake of "keeping up
with the Joneses" sometimes find that they have
sacrificed their personality and individuality
as well.
Any number of students start out in college
to study, On the way, they discover that there Is
cause they like them, but because they want to a possibility to gain power and prestige as well
conform. In so doing, many people lose their own They decide that power and prestige are desirable
individuality. They become human forms running whatever its cost, or whoever It hurts, borne-
around parroting someone else's opinions. They times they get it sometimes they don't. Whatever
happens, the individual is changed, usually for
the worse. They are willing to use any trick-
no matter how cheap or how shoddy to attract
attention to themselves. Once the desire for pres
tige has begun, it can seldom be stopped. It just
grows,
These individuals stand for nothing. They are
for themselves, first, last and always. They help
others only Insofar as they can help themselves.
All this is just abstract philosophy, you say.
are afraid to change because "somebody might say
something."
How far would this world have gotten had
some one not been brave enough to try some
thing different? What if Edison had been afraid
to try to make the electrlo light or the phono
graph? Some of his contemporaries thought he
was erasy. He wasn't. He was "different."
The men throughout history who took the
biggest chances often made the biggest gains. Re
cent history is full of them: Napoleon, Bismark, There aren't any people like that on this campus

Besides having to worry about grades, you
nearly sign your life away to get excused from

most teachers. Even if the absence is excused, you
generally must make it up. I know of one girl

down the line, we'd find that every coed should
take one course in every line of study offered at
the University. We favor liberal education, but
not that extensive. There would be no time to
specialize.

Thus, perhaps the phys ed department, with

Modern Man Forgets Goal In Life;
Too Busy 'Seeking Out Facts'
S&hmimsdisL
The tragedy of our modern day is that man
has too often failed to match his motives with his
intellect He has been so concerned with "seek
ing out the facts" that he has completely forgotten
the goal for which he sought the facts.
Pierre Van Paassen tells the story of a man
In Holland by the name of William Bos, a book
'seller. William Bos was the most educated man
In bis village. Always he was reading books and
arguing politics. "He never did anything but read
and make notations with a stubby pencil in a
huge ledgerlike book."
Technically, William Bos was prepared for a
great life. But spiritually he was minus a mood,
the essential mood. Thus he felt no purpose for
life, no hope for society, no future for himself.
So, one day, in a fit of desperation, he opened
his little stove and began throwing his books Into
the fire and then he destroyed himself.

world, friend and foe alike.
Here is the adventurous ac
count of the fabulous desert fox
who chased his hunters back
and forth across north Africa
as often as they chased him, the
fox whose tricks and turns made
even the British tommies
chuckle.
It la also the story of a man
who fortified his life in a plot
to assassinate Hitler.

of a young lieutenant and a Wac

small Italian town. Holden meets
Wac officer Nancy Olson but
Lovejoy tells him he's "wasting

their warfront romance turns to
love.
Leaves are suddenly can

cautious, his mind on the girl
he wants to marry. Soon he too
is wounded. Nancy and Holden
are reunited and his convales

riage and Idyllic honeymoon In
an Italian friend's home.
But Holden is troubled by his
conscience over the death of his
friend. He flees to rejoin his old
outfit at the front. In the ensuing
campaigns, Holden distinguishes
himself but is wounded and is re
ported missing. Nancy searches
everywhere, refusing to believe he
is dead. After long, harrowing
days, she reaches Rome as an Al

at a base hospital among many
badly-wounded men, she finds

The scribes and the Pharisees were bitterly
upbraided by Jesus because they were much
more concerned about the "trinkets" of their
faith than they were about its deep and abiding
treasures. The essentials of life the why and
wherefore are not found in the mechanics and
techniques of the drawing. board or "paper or
ganisations" but in the heart hungers of men and
their society. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick has put
it th's way, "The boat of human life is rowed by
two oars WORK AND WORSHIP." It is the
spirit which gives the purpose to the work.
Blessed are they who know that the way they
do anything is more important than what they
do' for they shall see life fully.

LAST MEETS WEST
IN M RELAY EVENT
You've heard of the Penn Relays. But
have you ever heard of a relay where the
hurdles are mountains, the average stride
is thirty miles, and the track stretches
coast to coast?
It's the Bell System's 0tadio-3Ula
and it brings East and West together in
one of the most important events in the
history of communications.
Telephone construction crews have just
recently completed the coast-to-coast
0ttdio-ittUfty system. Today, Long
Distance calls ride on radio microwaves,
beamed through the air from tower to
tower. And, for the first time, television
programs have been flashed from coast
to coast.
The new system supplements the thou
sands of miles of wire cable that already
tie the nation together. It helps make
America's vast communications network
even stronger and more flexible. And it
could hardly happen at a better time. The
demands of defense are heavy and urgent.

HOW Stadio-&tlaf WORKS. Microwaves travel in a straight line. So relay
towers are usually built on hilltops and spaced about thirty miles apart. Just as a
runner picks up the baton from another runner; so each tower picks np microwaves
from its neighbor, and with complex electronic equipment amplifies and focuses
them like a searchlight, then beams them accurately at the next tower. And hun
dreds of Long Distance calls ride the beam at the same time.
