Journalism lab under the direction of Dr. Laird. Frances, Isabel and Dorothy busily type out stories. This year found the journalism department starting out on its own, as a separate school and no longer a part of the English department. In becom- ing a school, the department will gain wider recognition throughout the United States, former students garnering a higher standing and future graduates will be recognized for what they are. Enrollment in journalism jumped at a time when University enrollment was dropping fast, although by the middle of the semester, most of the men were gone. This past semester enrollment was again fair, showing an increase over last. Junior- senior classes are all-girl aggregations, although there are a few sophomore and freshman men in other classes. This year. Prof. A. L. Higginbotham , head of the journalism department, compiled a news- letter that was sent to journalism alumni telling of the activities of fellow students.

ENGINEERING War has greatly curtailed activities on the engineering side of the quad during the past year, as engineering has primarily been for men students and they are few and far between othe campus this year. Along with the regular classes, the social end of engineering life, including the Associated Engineers, Nu Eta Epsilon, honorary fraternity. Civil, Electrical and Mechani- cal Engineers, all found themselves in practically a state of non-existence. Greater emphasis was placed upon the importance of engineering in the war. Members of last year ' s graduating class found themselves in imme- diate demand, but mostly, of course, by Uncle Sam, who was most anxious to obtain their services. Engineers practically have a side of the campus to themselves as east side of the quad is known strictly as the engineers ' side. Electrical Engineering building, focal point of interest lor engineers
