Students Work to Aid in War Effort Questionnaire Tabulates Volunteer Activity Results of the questionnaire on par ticipation in the war effort show that 54 per cent of the students are working part time to assist in defraying their educa tional expenses, and that 50 per cent arc engaged in some type of volunteer service connected with the war effort. Two hundred and thirty-nine students have Saturday jobs, and 52 are em ployed at the College, working one or two hours each school day on the NYA or student aid programs. The 86 students enrolled with the Red Cross are the largest volunteer group, with the 42 who work for the USO, the 39 enrolled with OCD, and the 12 en rolled with the WDCA ranking next in order. Other students are nurses aides, or arc affiliated with the Greek War Re lief, Girl Scouts, various church or ganizations, Emerson House, the Rationing Boards, Aviation Cadet Recruiting agencies, the National Coun cil of Catholic Women, the Draft Boards, and the China War Relief. Juniors Put Heads Together For Prom Along with its new Victory courses, Mundelein is continuing its morale- building projects. There will be a Junior Prom Although no definite date has been set for the dance, Marcella Garrity, junior social chairman, believes it will be dur ing the latter part of February. Jeep Family Grows As Money Pours in Bond, Stamp Coffer Bond sales continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and are respon sible for four jeeps, with a spare tire for each, now bounding over army terrain, with thanks to pa triotic Mundeleinites. Student stamp and bond sales total more than 3600, having risen to that figure recently with contrib uted Skyscraper Ball profits of 410. Victory Program Tunes College to Vital War Needs Trains for Service in Major Fields Open to Women With Degrees Responding to the nation's call for college-trained women to fill positions in the vital services, professions, and industries. Mundelein College begins this month a special Victory Program, including 14 new' Victory courses and an intensive counseling program. Convinced that the conservation and direction of womanpower is as vital a need as the conservation of manpower, the College has designed the counseling program to direct students toward majors in fields where trained workers arc necessary. Psychological, aptitude, and prefer ence tests, together with the results of a Victory questionnaire given to all students before Christmas, assist Coun selors and Major Advisers in deter mining the type of work for which each student is adapted and in guiding her to select those courses which will fit her for the special type of work she should do. Cite Five Fields At present, the most imperative need for college-trained women seems to be in five general fields : Teaching, Tech nical Work in Science and Mathema tics; Home and Health: Community Service, and Business. Besides the long-range training of students to step into positions in these fields after graduation, the College be lieves that every student should be engaged now in some activity which contributes directly to the war effort. All students, therefore, who are not employed on NYA or on Student Aid or in work outside the College are being urged to register for one of the Victory courses. Requisition Club Hour In order that all students may find a place in their schedules for one of these courses, the one o'clock period on Tuesday, reserved, heretofore, for club and class meetings, has been requi sitioned, and several one-hour courses have been listed for this time. The new Victory courses arc radio communication, mechanical drawing, quantitative chemistry, cost accounting, map study, air navigation, photography, introduction to personnel, nutrition, ac cident prevention, hygiene, personal typing, story telling, and arts and crafts. In addition, the course in first aid will be repeated next semester.
