To The Dogs?
Is the younger generation going to the dogs?
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

"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.

clarifying his position. But there were a few

Support Appreciated . . .
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,

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. If Truman dismisses Eisenhower,
he faces the possibility of republicans snatching

There is no doubt that Elsenhower is a great
