Not exactly is the conclusion that Time maga zine reaches in an article on the subject. Entitled "The Younger Generation," .the article is an at tempt to gauge the temper of America's youth of 1950. The finished product is a good general pic ture of college 6tudents and young working people. Most of the comment around campus has generally been in agreement with the views expressed in the article. The magazine points out what it considers seven general characteristics of the college student: 1. They are grave and fatalistic. 2. They are conventional and gregarious. 3. The girls want a career and marrlarr. 4. Their morals are confused. 5. They expect disappointment. 6. They want a faith. 7. They will serve. The article points out that youth of today are more conservative and less out to shock their elders than were their parents, most of whom grew up in the "roaring twenties." Never having 9jv iOoiukhlcuvd "The best thing that can be said for Ameri can youth, in or out of uniform," the article says, "is that it has learned that It must try to make the best of a bad and difficult Job, whether that job is life, war or both. The gen eration which has been called the oldest younr generation in the world has achieved a certain maturity." "Young people do not feel cheated. And they do not blame anyone. Before this generation, they were always to blame, ft was a pre-war feeling that 'they' had let them down. But this generation puts the blame on life as a whole, not on parents, politicians, cartels, etc. U. The article is well worth the time of anyone lived in the "twenties," I am not in a position to wno may st0p to read it. It presents a number of know how much different this generation is from feenngs which I had not been able to put into their parents.

They Particularly boys are trying to clutch at something fatalistic, sure, because it is one consolation which looks secure something they can count on, Underlying all this however is a note of hope that somehow everything will turn out for the best they can draw from today's uncertainty Going " to the dogs? The younger generation is just going. Theyk aren't sure where.

In New York City, Rudolph Halley, former counsel for the Kefauver crime committee, ran as an Independent to defeat Tammany hall's candidate for the presidency of the New York city council. Philadelphia elected a democratic mayor for the first time since the 1880's. The republicans gained mayoralties in several large Indiana " towns, including Indianapolis.

Election of re publican mayors in Indiana is another indication that there is a reaction against at least some demo crats. , The puzzler is the election of a republican in Little Rock. We do not have any information about the issues in the campaign, but it might be an indication that a part of the "Solid South" is not as solid as it has been. Meanwhile the national political battle raged on. General Eisenhower left for Europe without clarifying his position. But there were a few straws in the wind as a result of these scattered elections.

Dear Editor: We of the engineering slate would like to express1 our thanks to those who supported us In the recent junior and senior class elections. We candidates feel that the election try was highly suc cessful in initiating greater class enthusiasm. The candidates did not expect any miraculous results. How ever, they were well pleased in having John Adams and . Dick Phelps elected to senior class vice president and secretary. The Engineering Executive board did not wish to antagonize any people or groups during the recent elections, It was felt that the primary causo of an engineer ing slate was to encourage more class zeal and Interest. This was the first engineering slate, and as for permanency there are no plans for a continued party. We would like to congratu late the new officers and offer them any help we or our col lege may give. Sincerely, JOHN LLITERAS .

President Truman is faced with a touchy deci sion. If the general's personality has been a de-i termining factor for improved morale in Europe,' it would be a mistake to remove him unless a suitable replacement could be assured. However, if President Truman refused to relieve Eisenhower, political implications immediately will be read into the action both by democratic elements and GOP opposition.

First, what will be . the duration of General Eisenhower's term in Europe and who is to decide; secondly, will Eisenhoweir decide to enter the presidential race; third, if so, what party will he choose; and last, what is Presi dent Truman's position if Eisenhower chooses to run. Some democratic leaders believe President Truman wonld decline to run if General Eisen hower announced Interest in the democratic nomination. The two have been good friends for gome time, and General Eisenhower was a personal friend of President Roosevelt In addl tion, Eisenhower seems to go along with the ad ministration on foreign policies. Elsenhower's nomination would give the democrats a good shot in the arm and promote a lot of much seeded unity. Southern anti-Truman sentiment might evaporate. If Truman would refuse to run The best solution would be to let Eisenhower decide. If left to make that decision, a good guess would be that the general will stick to his military duties and not enter the political whtrt. " There is no doubt that Elsenhower is a great general. There is a possibility he would make a good president even though records of generals who have held the chief executive spot Grant and Jackson would not support this. Eisenhower has a dynamic personality which coupled with gen erally wise decisions has won' him high regard among military as well as civilian circles. If a good successor could be found, we be lieve Eisenhower would be a welcome addition to the roster of United States presidents.
