ASR OFFICERS What is the ASR doing toward winning this war? Through the organization of the Victory Corps, with final victory as our goal, we are striving to promote an interest in the war effort to see that each one of us does his share. If, as an individual, we can serve through membership in groups which aid the war effort, then as an entire student body we will be achieving one of the goals we have set for ourselves. What are some of our Victory Corps activities? The list is almost endless: model airplane construction, defense employment, attendance in classes teaching war trades, participation in tin can, and scrap-metal drives, civilian defense organization, Victory gardens, war savings are all important parts in winning this war for survival. Because most of us are not yet at an age that we may join the armed services of our nation to engage directly in the war effort, we must carry our share of the burden on the home front. One important function of the Victory Corps will come under its own Employment Committee. Students not yet active, who express a desire to be of service, will be given a chance to aid the community in any problems which may arise. The ASR, a student organization, has a definite part to play through the participation of the student body in war activities, directly contributing to the victory we so desire. lI11AN MLL'roN, ASR Sc'vr'vla1'y.
