The rest of us may not have been colled to service, but we have gone all out for defense work. The Administration has co-operated by providing courses in such timely subjects as radio, photo- graphy, mathematics, and meteorology, and by mak- ing special schedule arrangements for students. By attending various summer sessions, students may now obtain a degree in less than four years. In addition, most of the clubs on campus are doing some sort of helpful work. Through the efforts of the Committee on Extracurricular Affairs, It has been found that 1463 students are partici- pating in these activities. The numerous classes in First Aid seem to interest most of us. Besides these there are courses in Nutrition, Surgical Dressings, and hHome Nursing, OS well as opportunities for Red Cross work. The Art Club is working on therapeutic hand- craft; religious clubs are concerned with spiritual values; Poster Club is making posters on the topic of Loose Talk Can Lose Lives ; QUAD ANGLES is sending copies of the paper to the men in camps, and publishing suitable editorials, slogans, and publicity material. Musical organizations are stressing patriotic music and use of music in indust- ries, hospitals, and air raid shelters. A very efficient Fire Brigade, Police Squad, and First Aid Crew have charge of air raid and black- out practice, and the siren on the roof of Main Dorm brings everyone to attention, ready to carry out directions.
