Too Much Curtailment
Is Detrimental
There have been rumors circulating on the cam
pus during the past few weeks that there will be
a drastic curtailment of extra-curricular and social
activities for the duration of the war. Without
doubt there will have to be a curtailment, but we
must take care that it does not go-so far as to
destroy a balanced life for university students. One
curtailment is certainly valid and that is cutting
down on the huge amounts of money that have
been spent on social functions. However, we must
keep as many social activities as we can. We say
this because we have seen that the armed forces
are trying to keep a balanced life for their mem
bers by carrying on an athletic and social program
along with military training. The armed forces are
doing this to keep up morale, and civilians must
do the same.
For a balanced university life, there must be a
social and extra-curricular program as well as a
scholastic program. Students are kept happy and
busy during their leisure hours by social activities.
During World War 1
UN Coeds Prepared
Bandages as First
Service for Country
By Marsa Lee Civin.
The University Senate voted that students leav
ing school in good standing would receive full
credit and that seniors be given diplomas without
absentia fee. This was the first official act of a
university body in the war.
Making bandages was the first bit university
women did for their country. They met every
Thursday afternoon in the basement of the First
Congregational church.
Efficient motor driving was learned by members
of the College Women's Reserve League formed to
serve in the present war. A course offered Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday at 10 a. m. furnished stu
dents with a much better working knowledge of the
machine they drive.
Interfraternity Council recommended UN fra
ternities discontinue social functions for the re
mainder of the year, especially formals. Taboo was
the word for subscription dances.
However, the Panhellenic party, planned far in
advance and thus not cancelled, was attended by
150 couples. The proceeds ofthe party were given
to the French Orphans War Fund.
Forty coeds clerked in Mayer Bros, store in a
preparedness day benefit.
Extja-curricular activities supplement the scholas
tic program in training students for leadership and
leadership is most needed during and after a war.
It is "encouraging to note that all the extra-curricular
'organizations' on: the campus are willingly of
fering their assistance in defense work. This as
sistance is greatly needed and it would be detri
mental to defense work on the campus" if those
organizations wece curtailed. As for cutting down
on social activities, we think that a few large uni
versity functions ought to be continued in order to
"keep up appearances," even though most lavish
functions are cut out.
In view of keeping up a good morale and of
keeping up training for leadership, we feel, there
fore, that social and extra-curricular activities
should not be too drastically curtailed.
With Serious Shortage . . .
Government, Red Cross Need
School of Nursing Graduates
. . . According to Dean Thompson
Urgent requests ate being re
ceived from the government and
the Red Cross for graduates of
schools of nursing, according to
Dean T. J. Thompson, chairman
of the board of occupational place
ment. He urges young women gradu
ating from high school or in their
first years of university work to
consider enrollment at some nurs
ing school. Classes will be admit
ted in early February and gen

all the faculty members of asso
ciate professor rank or above.
May Accelerate Program
Meanwhile, a faculty committee
appointed by Chancellor C. S.
Boucher and made up of Dean
John Clark, chairman; Dean T. J.
Thompson, Dean Charles Oldfa
ther, Dean O. J. Ferguson and
Registrar G. W. Rosenlof, continue
to study the advisability of accel
erating the university's academic
program in view of the war.
Being considered is elimination
or drastic shortening of vacations,
shortening of the examination pe
riod, lengthening of the summer
sessions to twelve weeks, intro
duction of a three semester pro
gram of sixteen weeks each or
the quarter system, and possibly
even curtailment of many extra
curricular activities.
According to Dean Clark, the
committee will probably submit a
report to the chancellor and pos
sibly to the university Senate at
another meeting this week.
Examination Not Required
Under the new system approved
by the Regents, a student called
through selective service or who
enlists voluntarily may receive
credit without examination in the
courses he is carrying, provided
he is in good standing and has a
grade of 70 percent or better in
those courses.
One-half semester credit will be
granted after eight weeks of
study, full credit after 12 weeks
It is stipulated, however, that stu
dents must recognize that partial
credit in courses may not satisfy
the requirements of boards of li-
school in the upper quarter of
one's class, 18 years of age, and
preferably one or two years of
college work.
Women interested should obtain
further information from qualified
nursing school officials.
censure or sequence requirements
in programs of study.
Any student entering the armed
forces may, with the approval of
the department and dean of the
college concerned, request exami
nations for partial or full credit
in any of the courses he is carry
ing. Should the student not be far
enough advanced to pass the ex
amination satisfactorily he may
complete the requirements by cor
respondence if such a course is
available.
To Name New Committee
Students entering employment
in defense activity will be accord
ed the same or similar privileges,
subject, of course, to approval by
an all-university committee of not
less than five members to be ap
pointed by the chancellor.
For the present the all-university
committee will have authority
for final action in special cases
where the rules may appear to
work an unusual hardship, the
recommendation states. The com
mittee will also continue to inves
tigate these policies and recom
mend additional changes.
In the colleges of law, medicine,
dentistry and pharmacy and in the
graduate college specific action
will be required in each case by
the college or its properly author
ized committee.
Clark Makes Statement
In the case of students who have
already dropped out of school be
cause of the war, Dean Clark yes
terday stated, "Until a definite
procedure can be established, any
student entering military or naval
service subsequent to Dec. 7, 1941,
should apply to the dean of his
college for the benefit of this pol
icy. Upon satisfying himself by
examination of the orders of the
student or otherwise that the stu
dent is entitled to action, the dean
will secure the necessary reports
from instructors and file a certifi
cate of credit in the office of the
registrar." .
Victory Book

Sponsored by the American Li
brary Association, the American
Red Cross, and the USO, the Vic

activity.
A woman is not eligible for an
office if upon taking office she
will be ovei pointed. In order to
make it easier for the organiza
tions concerned, candidates for all
offices or membership must be
checked before elections as to ac
tivity eligibility with the perma
nent record kept by the AWS
board.
A woman may change activities
at the end of a term of office,
each term being determined by the
individual organization. After
voluntarily dropping a position in
an organization, she may not re
turn to that organization. If
dropped because of low grades a
woman may be reinstated into an
organization only when her grades
again meet the organization's av
erage. The permanent records kept by
AWS are being enlarged. Month
ly reports are now required from
all presidents of organizations,
and the president is responsible for
seeing that such reports are made
monthly to the AWS board.
These reports are to include offi
cers and committees of the organi
zations. The women are rated ex
cellent, satisfactory, or poor.
"There is a place for everyone,
and the very first thing for each
of you to do is to offer services.
Very few national demands have
been imposed on us to date, but
now we can really show our bit for
the allies."
