Because of the circumstances under which it was published, the l942 OBELISK is somewhat different from OBELISKS of previous years. With the United States at War, Southern Illinois Normal University has reflected the change in an increased tempo in student life, the disappearance of familiar faces as men joined the service, and special courses and activities designed to aid the defense effort. New organizations have sprung up almost overnight: the Adopt a Yank Club, the Faculty Gift Club, the college Victory Committee, the Student War Committee, to name only a few. Other organizations have given up some of their normal activities in favor of those designed to fur- ther the defense effort: Delta Sigma Epsilon, Sigma Sigma Sigma, the Radio Drama Guild, the Speak- ers' Bureau, Anthony Hall, Southern Knights, Girls' Rally, the Student Council, and several others. The CBELISK has been unable to give adequate cover- age to these changes, partly because of the rapidity With Which they have taken place, and partly because of technical difficulties. The OBELISK of 1942, then, is presented to you as a biography of Southern, a mixture of the traditional and the transient.
