The national goal of air strength has a two-fold ap- plication: Wings will win the warg Words will maintain morale and weld the peace. lust as airplanes need trained pilots, so words require men and wo- men equipped to speak with directed intelligent purpose. Facing this challenge, the speech de- partment has been active. Class work, debate, discussion, oratory, speech cor- rection, choral speaking, and drama, has taken on new zest. May mobilization of wings and words for air supremacy and home morale achieve its destination. HERE are Wings Over Eastern! Eastern's students are interested in the weather under their wings and the world that their winged speed has shriveled! Our nation has become map-conscious and world-minded, has awakened to new interest in world regional relation- ships and a new appreciation of natural resource base. Geography staff mem- bers are meeting this challenging in- terest by keeping class studies vitally related to world affairs and by planning course changes which the new situation demands. After World War l, geogra- phy became valued as a college study: today We recognize its role again. ,w ,Qd ' Map-Conscious Geographers Study Globe Ruby M.

ITI-I the passing of our national policy of isolation, the foreign language department feels that students will become much more interested in the tongues of other nations. If civili- zation is not to receive a setback from war in each generation, steps must be taken by the post-war world to create a spirit of understanding and coopera- tion among various nations. An effec- tive means of promoting this interna-- tional spirit of good will is the study of the language, culture, and literature of other peoples. Students must learn to understand other people in order to make future Library Staff Aids Victory I-Iarrict Love, M.S, VVestern Re- serve University, Mary Smith, M.S., University of Illinoisp Mary I.

Becoming the information center on countless topics related to the war, it has been an im- portant job to assemble information needed for the curriculum, for defense activities and by the eligible service men. Records show the addition of books on such subjects as plastics, aerial photography, mapping, and air navigation. The library staff sponsored the VIC- TORY BOOK CAMPAIGN to which stu- dents and faculty contributed twenty- eight hundred books.

H LL CLEAR with new floors and freshly painted walls, the Art de- partment has victoriously emerged from its virtual black-out. ln an effort to stimulate student and faculty interests toward art and beauty in a world gradually becoming devoid of such pleasures, the department held two workshops-the first in November where uses of scrap material was the outstanding attraction, and the second under Professor E. Eweybruck. The craft bazaar, attractive hall-way displays of paintings and handicraft, and mural paints have all contributed toward beautifying our winged way. TUDENT morale can best be upheld through music, which is one of the richer forms of communication. Stimu- lating band music to urge our fighting forces ony soothing symphonies to relax ruffled nerves, but always a pageant for Uncle Sam in Review. Eastern's Music department made our homecoming a memorable one, the Christmas season a holier one, and the days since December 7 more carefree ones. Today music becomes the life- blood of a nation at war, and our de- partment of Music is expanding and re- organizing in a patriotic gesture to en- courage the vital flow of this life-blood.
