In the fall the council set up rushing rules and provided for the registration of girls interested in belonging to a sorority. The annual Christmas tea dance, given with the Home Economics department, was held on December 16. The feature attraction of the event was a fashion show in which the girls mod- eled ensembles of their own making. Highlight of the holiday season was the Par- thenon Prom which the council gave in coopera- tion with the Inter-Fraternity council. This all- Greek dance was held at the Chermot ballroom, December 29. The Inter-Fraternity council headed the scrap drive in which the Greek organizations took part. Officers of the Inter-Sorority council are: Mil- dred Cunningham, president; Roberta Green, vice president; Dorothy Rice, secretary; Eliza- beth Brown, treasurer. Inter-Fraternity council officers ore president, Byron Oberst; secretary, Russell Wright; and treasurer. Dale Heinbuch. 29

Enrollment in the School of Adult Education is the largest in the University, the decrease not being as great as that in day school. Approxi- mately seven hundred students are now enrolled in evening classes. Most important of the classes offered by the School of Adult Education are those given in cooperation with the government. Among these have been the air pilot training institutes, in which three hundred men have been trained. Math, science, and engineering courses have also been very popular this year. Added to the usual courses has been the pre- ciinic training center for nurses offered in con- junction with the Immanuel, Methodist, and Jennie Edmundson (Council Bluffs) hospitals. Other new activities this year have been the initiation of an insurance program in cooperation with the national association of insurance men and the new down-town Language Clinic. The Clinic offers courses in eight contemporary lan- guages, particularly those of countries in which we are intimately interested either as foes or allies. Activities of students in the School of Adult Education have been headed this year by presi- dent Gordon Wainwright, vice-president Carolyn Goddard, secretary-treasurer Mary Brown, and activities chairman Margaret Harrison of the Ex- tension Council. Chief social activity was the supper-dance held January 27 at the Blackstone hotel. Director of the School is Mr. E. M. Hosman. He is also chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies, established this year, a member of the executive committee of the state Victory speak- ers, and chairman of the Baxter Memorial Lec- ture committee.
