•> Business Club Panel Discusses Militar y Trainin g "Should There Be Military Training in the High Schools After the War? " was the question which started an interesting panel discussion featured at the Business Education Club meeting on May 4 . The panel members, Helen Fehl, Gloria Gillis, Mary Schoeder and Salvatore Mazzeo, were equally divided as to opinions. On the affirmative side, views took a turn to—Military training would give the boys appreciation for their country and for their own worth; it is important in the formation of character. This type of training tends to develop leadership as well as good health habits, which can be carried over to each person 's later life. Those who did not favor military training felt the boys would be too anxious for fighting if it were included in the curriculum of the high schools. The idea of military training being undemocratic was mentioned along with this negative feeling. One member commented that we, as a na t ion , must adopt a military status if we are to keep our reputation in world affairs. A period of compulsory military training after graduation from high school was also discussed. However , the group, as a whole, was opposed to this since it might turn into a handicap to a person who was planning to attend a college or planning some other career. TO ATTEND CONFERE NCE The Navy Department is holding a meeting in Columbia University on May 12 and 13. President Harvey A. Andruss will be among those administrators of colleges and universities present. The problem to be discussed is the assignment of quotas for the V-12 program for the coming year.

Lloyd Paul Jordon , the new commanding officer of the V-12 Uni t at Bloomsburg. Lt. Jordon , previously from Amherst, Massachusetts, received his B. S. degree at the University of Pittsburgh. He was President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and also a member of Omicron Delta Kappa. Colgate University had the pleasure of having him with them from 1928-1931. At Iowa State College, he was officer in charge of the V-12 group and he was executive officer of the V-12 unit at Muhlenburg College. Since Bloomsburg loves sports of all kinds, we were glad to know that we had a great sportsman in our midst. 'He organized Physical Education in the schools of North Braddock, Pennsylvania, in 1924; coached football , basketball and baseball there and at Amherst College. For interested members of the Maroon and Gold Staff , Lt. Jordon was Co-Director of Amherst Press. His overflowing initiative seems to be passed on to his sons, Robert Lloyd, who is at Parris Island and John Harland Lloyd, who is in the Marine Corps at San Diego, California. Yes , we are proud to have Lt. Jordon on our campus and we want him to know we appreciate his work here. s\ .
