Dr. Morse Tuesday, Ryan Heads AAUP, —and many others indicate part of the ex- tra-curricular work. Most of the faculty serve as sponsors for the organizations of the college, and stu- dents appreciate this closer contact with them. Several are forced to be martyrs, as the faculty has a team in the intramural league. Observers of faculty touch football games have said those intramural battles closely resembled the Kearney-Peru game, but not one instructor was carried off the field. Students demanded better convocation programs, and the faculty helped to fill this need, many of them participating in the con- vos. Dr. Mantor's analysis and review of the war news was interesting and informa- tive, helping collegians to obtain an intelli- gent perspective of World War II. Pop Klein's song leading and solos brightened up several otherwise dull programs. Dr. Morse and Dr. Fox helped arrange an un- usual science program. This year, as ever, several faculty mem- bers were signally honored by winning coveted positions on their own football team. Undoubtedly very happy over the selections, they took advantage of the awards by pre- senting a fast-moving, bruising football skit at the YM-YW Christmas Carnival, donating the gate receipts to the financially-embar- rassed junior class.

Faculty members became students this year with most of them enrolling for first aid courses as a part of the college's contribu- tion to the national war effort. Many long nights were spent in learning the intricacies of bandaging and the other details of the course. Perhaps the most interesting story of the faculty participation in this course of study concerns a student who had cut his finger and reported to a group of women faculty members for treatment. They all gathered around their new-found patient, and after several minutes of deliberation and consultation of the small wound, one re- marked it looks like a case for a doctor. The injured one left the treatment to another student, and in spite of his decision to do so, is still alive and well. The faculty directly felt the consequenc- es of war too when Mr. Robert Thrall of the industrial education department left to be- come an instructor in the air corps at Cha- nute Field. It has become customary for a sleeping math student to be suddenly awakened by Miss Hanthorn's staccato be alert, man!, for the men to change from ordinary attire to wear neatly pressed suits, white shirts and a tie for a favorable impression in busi- ness etiquette class, for English majors to become Ryanized. It has also become customary for stu- dents to appreciate the faculty's friendly in- formality, their willingness to actively spon- sor student organizations, their interest in students' work.
