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.

Glenn Ross, Ph.D., Ohio State University, Head of Department. IR is a magic conductor of both wings and words! 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.

H OOD will win the war and write the peace. Guidance in eco- nomic buying and skillful homemaking demand the service of trained persons, both in the schools and in defense ef- forts, in numbers greatly exceeding the supply of available people. Eastern has adapted its courses to in- clude subiect material and experiences necessary to effectively meet the de- mands placed upon home economists. New equipment, expanded library and teaching facilities are making it pos- sible for our women to become ac- quainted with wise buying and effec- tive homemaking. Recognize Wilma Warner, NLS., Iowa State College, Helen Hamilton Collins, M.Ed., Colorado State College, Sadie O. Morris, PhD., Columbia University, Head of Department. 941-42 finds the lndustrial Arts de- partment exerting itself in national de- fense efforts to keep 'ern flying by making its physical facilities and staff personnel available for the training of workers for defense industries. However, the department has not con- fined its war efforts to this type of de- fense preparation, for its regular pro- gram of training technical teachers has been a most vital contribution. Eastern points with justifiable pride to the fine contribution to national preparedness that this department has made in their training program, staff personnel, and equipment. Vlfayne P.
