Graduation Will Bring Us Many New Problems

We, who \Viii so~duated !rom .Gl en­ville State College are at a turmng pomt m our Lives where we will have to make some of•our most important derisions. .

1 Are we going to enter the fie ld of teach~n.g . Most of us will be qualified for such a pOSition when we reeeive the degree. but JUSt because we are qualified doesn't mean tba~ we would be auceessful. Maybe it would be w1se to aban­don the idea of sehool from our, minds and see k employm.,nt elsewhere. A few of us may be­come rood in tructors; or we may be complete failures. What is to happen ~o those of.us who fa.U? Do we have enough ab1hty tQ go 1nto an­other field and become successful ? Has our College education been general enough t~ a1-low us to make such a decision now? It .•s an American custom for one who at first fa1~s ~· try again. But often the second attempt IS !n another field . Shall we have to feel the ~hagrm of failure and unfortunately use the tnal and error method, or will we make the correct de­

,cielen now ? What proves so puzzling in many cases to­

dey is whether a job will last after the war. W.ill our position as a sc hool teacher be safe and secure, or will we, like many defense work­era. be out of a jo'b as soo n as those who are away on "leaves of absence'' return?

These are problem~ that no\~ stand .out as predomjnant and have a defimte beanng on rater life. Has College put us in a positio'.' to do our own ·thinldng? Will we ponder a ll s1d~s of the question before jumping at a conclusiOn? Will we?-Hayward Groves. .

Tum Out the Light-It's Part of 'Victory' Effort

Oftentimes. we, as College •tud~nts, say to ourselves or our companions, esp~CJa lly m th1s ffme o! chaos ... "What am I domg her~, any­way? .. , .. "Why can't r. too, .h~~p m wmmng i nd ending this g ruesome atl'aJT. .

fn the first,. place we're a ll h ere for th e prm1e pl,IJ'pose of getting an educatwn. How well that education is to help the war effort and world reconstruction after the war d~ptmd upon bow much we learn and how wtsely we u~e what we learn . . .

We can all help win nnd end th1s warm sun­dey ways. F or instance. we should alwa~s tu rn out a light wh en it's not in u~e , both m our homes and in the dormitory. (Think of your brother in a fox hole.l Row many of us are ne­tleetful in this respect 1

We should conserve heat, wate.r ~nd othe,r vital neee .. ities; $ave paper by usmg both aJdes; handle carefully articles that can not be replaced ; be kind and courteous--~erefore. ea.y on othen' nerves. Already you ve prob­ably thought of many others that will help and which will in t he end add up With other thmg that shall bring victory I .

EspeciaiQ• let's not forget that hght the next time we' re the last one to leave a room.-Helen Taylor.
