Tht> fou rth general assembly of lbe 1944·45 ~.--ollege ycoar was held Thursday, March 22, In Alden Auditorium.

The assembly opened with the sing· ing o( the Notional Anthem, foJ1owe<1 by a piano SQ1o by Mr. Ch'fford C ree1~. Chairman William Grogan h I. en 1ntroduced Admiral Cluverius h od w o 1n tum 1ntr uced the speaker · "f r. B oward p 1erce · or I he mornm~, ., Dav,·s.

Mr. Davis, who is a news anolyst, lecturer, newspaper writer, and author, traveled extensively in Europe before the war and escaped from Polund on the eve of the German invasion. He has been an invited al· tendant at Washington discussions or the Dumbarton Oaks T,arley. The subject of his talk was the average man's picture of world affairs and America's place in the world, today and tomorrow.

Mr. Davis likened the average mun's conceplion of world affairs to a jlj(.Qaw puzzle. The three important Jliec~ of the jigsaw puzzle which be discussed were: victory looms In Eumpe, U. 5. C<>mmitted to victory in Asia, a nd the cost. of war. In speaking of the imminent European victory, Mr. Davis made no attempt to predict the date of German collapse, but stated that tbe victory wc>Uid be brought about by a gradual disintcf(ration of German morale.

Or the war io Asia he said that, tho11~ the United States is committed to vict ory, the predominant question is whether qr not Russia will take up arms a~nlnst Japan. HE: ptJinted out that Russia has no elhni· cal reason for helping tbe United States in its war against Japan, but that it would be to her advantage to do so, since it would accelerate the end of international strife, and baslen the Lime of ~ which abe is so anxious in haVJng.

Editorial Junior Bunnies Easter is but ftve day~ away; anxious days for youn~ boys unci girls who will see muny colorful eggs Easter Sundny. Thnl's a wonderful part of childhood but, nevertheless, they do grow up und all of a sudden poor bunny rabbit is left out in the cold by himst>lf.

For many of them, by no means all, their first two year.. of college has been much the same as that blind belie£ in the Easler bunny.

Math, chemistry, and drawing were the ~ nd in them"elvrs rather than the means to any known end. Keep this up for two more yrnrs, get a degree, and then an attractive civilian position some day after the war.

Then about the middle of the j unior yea r their belief in the rabbit Is shattered. Things they learned, thing;; they forgot , knowledge they are learning, matter to be learned, everything becomes "0 mixed up that they are sure they know practically nothing. Now come~ the inevitable question. \VA I CUT OUT TO BE A~ ENGINEER :' Navy men look back to that second term in V- 12 when they c:<· pressed their desire to tnke engineering. Sure t hey wanle<I to k·now about airplanes or radar. Neverthcle5s, looking bnck they really didn't seek much guidance other than the Navy's ok that they were qualified to do the work. Now the questions start flying. How do r know what this is all about? Why 1 haven't even visi ted nn cnginrcrlng plant! What about ull the tests civilian members at Tech arc submitted to in order to classify them according to their nbilily what guidance have I had ?

Can' t you see that spark und drive of those fi rst two yrar::. dwindling down to a mere glow ? What's to keep thnt spirit alive?

There is but one real answer - i NTER EST. This mu::.t be nursed in ewry feasible manner.

Of course, these new men of Tech, hear of all the interesting in· speclion trips that former Tech men made to various Worcester engineering establishments before the war. Likewise, it is true that the Navy does not SJ>eclfy that its students do this sort of thing.

However, there are many or them who have never had the opportunJty to go through a power plant, aircraft factory , or wire company oo an organized inspection tour.

Certainly it is important to keep the sometimes waning intert'!)t or the students alive. Continue now some or those practices that we hear were so much a part or Tech men's education in pa. t yenrs.

Give the Doubting Thomas something to bolster up his study morale.

Nothing will do this as well as seeing other men performing thl• tasks that someday he will perform if he sticks it out.

Since the war started many changes have occurred at Tech. The men now here for the large pn~t have careers cut out for them immediately following their graduation. T his is no excuse Cor not giving them as much consideration in trying to find their way a£ter the war is over. A large percentage or the failures every term are due to lack of11 interest. Perbap if these same men had been able to ee more of engineering in lhe working" they might have hung on. ,\ s for those who will get through regardless, it would be an excellent idea to give them assista nce right now as to the kind of work they would like to do in the future.
