OUR WARTIME PLEDGE!

We at COLLEGE TOPICS have not
overlooked the fact that a war has been
going on for several years now, but we
do feel it is about time we fulfilled our
patriotic duty by stating out position
on the battle in Southeast Asia
between the forces of darkness and
deceit and our brave boys.

We pledge to every member of the
University of Virginia community that
we will do everything in our power to
aid in the war effort. The President of
the United States has called upon the
nation's press to cover the news
accurately and calmly during these
times. We promise all the support and
news that the President seeks.

************

The entire efforts of our staff will
be geared to give to our readers news
accurately and promptly. Rumor at
this time is a dangerous weapon in the
hands of the enemy. By waiting until
official news is printed in this paper
you can serve your nation. We plan to
fully cover news of interest to Virginia
students in matters about the armed
forces, changes in the University
program, and civilian defense. This
information, let us emphasize, will
only be official information given to
us by The Government. This is our task
as told to us in these trying times by
the Vice President.

Above all, America the Beautiful, we
must stop the Commies before they
reach Malibu Beach.
