| Summary: | The Concordian PAGE 6 Thursday, February 25, 1943 Arrival on the campus Saturday <xf 125 army air .corps cadets, with the prospect of an equ'a-1 number coming a month later, brings a situation which entails much planning, hard work and patience for everyone. The necessity of training the cadets and at the same time not neglecting the regular students presents many problems, some of which may not be solved without hardships to someone. We, as the regular students, must realize that we do not come first in this instance. We must truly realize that we are living and at-tending school "on borrowed time." We must realize that the men who are coming here are sacrificing much thiat institutions such as ours may continue to exist. We may have to endure inconveniences such as temporary classrooms, changes in schedules and offices or quarters, and a cer-tain amount of confusion until the program is under way. But we feel sure that all Cobbers have enough patriotism and common sense to ac-cept cheerfully and with a spirit of coopera-tion any transformations that may be neces-sary- Student reaction thus far has been fine; let's keep it up! The Reporters' Notebook By SOREN HAUGE That a Jap Zero fighter, cap-tured nearly intact in the Aleu-tians, might be placed on exhi-bition soon in Fargo-Moorhead is a current possibility. The "Captain" has vacated. . . . After fifteen years in 19A, Men's dorm, friend-to-man Mugaas was reported sad-eyed the day he left for new quarters. With the library's removal to Fjelstad, an increase in male bookworms on the campus is a likely spring prediction. The library can expect a run on George Bernard Shaw pres-ently. Co-eds, It is reported, seem to prefer his "Arms and the Man" for their spring reading. Whiskered items you may not have heard: Quade stepping from the shower room: "Careful fel-lows, it's raining in there." Harrisville as his feet betray him on icy walk: "Hmm, slip-shod." Christ's Army Advances To An Inevitable Victory By ROY HARRISVILLE "Thou therefore endure hard-ness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth en-tangleth himself with the affairs of this life that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." The will of the soldier should be wholly absorbed in that of his commander. Also, the soldier of the Cross must possess true cour-age, and must be ready to "en-dure hardness." In our army, we have one great tradition. Through the exertions of the early warriors, we possess *oday all the blessings of the Gospel. To their courage, their zeal, and their love for souls, we owe the peace and the happiness which Christianity has brought us. As other armies of the world can boast of great and powerful leaders, the Army of the Church in turn, through countless ages has been led by captains such as Abraham, Joshua, Gideon, Sam-son, David, Peter, Paul, Martin Luther and numberless others. The noblest and best of the world's great commanders return from battle to be decorated and ic A. C. P.'i Correspondent Reports from Waibingtoa Washington—(ACP)—Accelerated war-time education has received another boost, this time for women. In a policy statement for guidance of liberal arts colleges, the American Council on Education's com-mittee on college women and the war plunks for hastening graduation of good students to help fill emergency needs for trained personnel. To provide year-round schooling for women students at colleges unable to maintain summer sessions, the report suggests pooling staffs and student bodies. Three southern colleges, it points out, are plan-ning to offer a combined summer term on a single campus. Women's colleges and co-educaftionjal institutions are essential now, the committee believes, because they can provide technical and professional workers. Notable examples are chemists, mathematicians, physicists, statisticians, economists, research workers, administrative assistants, psychologists and bacteriologists. Although stressing war training, the report urges continuation of foundation courses for professional schools and combinations of arts and technical courses such as'social work, home economics and physical education. forgotten, and lie rotting in their graves; their places taken by suc-ceeding generations. Not so the army of the Church. Christ the ever-powerful, ever-victorious leader of the faithful-few, once died in battle, but rose again, and today lives and reigns to all eternity. Not reposing in some dank tomb, covered with rusty and tar-nished medals, but with all Hi's glory and might, He leads a mili-tant church forth to war against a sin-infested world, His banners flyang high amid the shot and shell of human wilfulness and des-truction. And that banner never falls to earth, for it is caught up and borne to inevitable victory by generation after generation. On the principle street of Ed-inburgh there is a stately eque-strain statue of the Duke of Well-ington. It is said to represent the great commander at the Battle of Waterloo at the moment when he gave the famous command, "Let the whole line move forward." In perfect obedience to that comm&nd, the various dii^isJjpns with their infantry, artillery and cavalry began the simultaneous forward movement, which was destined to result in one of the greatest victories of all history. An army is said to move on, its stomach. God's church moves upon its knees. Therefore, let our whole line, that is, our churches and our various religious pro-grams, move forward in the spirit of prayer. , The thousands of soldiers of the Army of Christ are marching on!
