"400,000 Students Must Abandon Their Education” “400,000 students in Europe and Asia must receive material aid this yi'ar or else abandon thoir education.” All abandonment of the education of the 400,000 students of Europe would mean a loss of doctors, en gineers, scientists, teachers, and other professional people who are needed to hold the pcace together. The amount asked of the TTnited States is $1,000,000—half of the $2, 000,000 minimum necessary for the international World Student Relief program. The World Student Ser vice Fund program of the different schools and colleges is in action at this very moment.

The author calls him a critic first class, philosophical writer, sociologist, and humorist, and quotes copiously from Chapman whose chief concern was the American mind. Chapman contended that * ^ the American is incapable of taking a real interest in anything . . . the lack of passion in the American comes from habitual men tal distraction.” Obviously Mr. Chapman spoke to posterity. His generality has univer sality! Had he been a college under graduate in tlie trying year of 1947, he could not have spoken W'ith more empirical insight. To make his statement more particular, apply it to Salem students. How can they take a real interest in “things”? For instance, many of tlie best mov ies of the year have come to Win ston recently; there are unlimited possibilities for planning and pro ducing bigger and better decorations for the dances; stunt night with its aci-ompanying potentialities is ap proaching; by the end of this month the weather will be exactly right for sunbathing; most of the nearby colleges are having midwinters this month—spring dances will probably start in March; etc., etc. How can normal Salemitcs take a real interest in any of these things with the “habitual mental distrac tion” that confronts them in the form of daily classes, assignments, quizzes, and term jiapers?
