West, Jr. 19 Editorial Today the broad shielding aqueduct of youth and indecision pours forth its seething torrents on the fertile yet unproductive plains of indecision. No longer will a rock-line causeway guide forth these fresh young mountain streams across the gasping desert sands. Around America's graduating youth, of whom we speak in metaphor, lies a world made great by leadership; nations of men whose pulses beat beneath the sway of hero worship, and whose lives and freedoms are sold on the International market at a price much cheaper than money can pay. As one leaves the sheltering hovel of school days, he must quickly see and realize that in this jungled maze of world conflicts there is no survival of the weakest. For those that are weak must sink, as do the slow moving rivulets on a wanton desert. As college doors swing closed on the outgoing scholars, they must know that the days of basking behind the excuses of youth are past. They can no longer "mark time" in the footsteps of others while the follies of youth are charged to indecision. The time is here when each man must know a man's responsibilities. Let those who are ready and willing pour forth across the desert in a torrent, and those who are not, let their wishful thinking add only to their misery.
