l'xRliA'I'l'llNCj liXliRClSlil Up on your toes at the count of one! The purpose of the compulsory ealistlienies pro- gram instituted during tht- second semester was to keep Knox men up on their toes .it all counts. The various sections mel for l'orly-minute periods three times i weelt. him respected and admired by all Knox students. His exhibit of Peruvian arts and products was well received. Nor was Whit- ing Hall without a foreign representative. Miette Auger, a French refugee, entered school at the begin- ning of the second semester and immedi- ately became a favor- rqmf HW-audfzn ite of Knox co-eds. As was to be expected, the contingent of foreign students did not include the usual scholar from japan. It was reported, however, that several such Japanese students from past years had vol- unteered their services to the United States government. The second semester went by in a hurry. Students became simultaneously more aware of the waris import and more emotionally calloused to the part they would have to play in it. Perhaps it was because the fierce reality of the situation had not been forced upon them. The draft was a worry to some, but the calisthenics program was much more immediate. This physical edu- cation program, introduced at the request of the government, was compulsory for all Wm Zjfaazf' Galuiheniu The classes were in the gym early in the spring Kas abovej but moved outdoors with the advent of suitable weather, Indoors or out, the calisthenics served their purposeg even the most cynical students had to admit the classes put them in better physical condition. men. Despite the comparatively lenient requirements, there were a few who groan- ed about the iicallous classes. Some of these back-sliders were encouraged by letters from friends in the army who told them to buck-up and maybe the two hours per week wouldn't seem so terrible after all. These same ex-classmates in the armed services were the beneficiaries of the most extensive student-initiated war pro ject. The Victory Hopi' was an all-student af- fair which raised approximately three hun- dred dollars for use in purchasing gifts for Knox service men. The V-Hop was Bill Bowling's idea and was executed in the Hotel Custer on March 27. Mortar Board, Friars, Scabbard and Blade, Sophomore Commission, and Key Club all joined in the effort. Bob Parkinson's special V-Hopi' band provided the music. The year was swift and packed with ex- citement. Although the work and general ends of the college program were of a high- ly serious nature, the students were seldom at a loss for a good time. But Knox stu- dents rationalized this fact with the thought that they would serve and serve well when their time came. 11

Kent, like most of the other visiting speakers CMorgan, Monte- negro, Schumannj, gave his views on the war and democracy. Even monologuist Cornelia Ctis Skinner offered a patriotic touch.
