They're Not Breaking Records In Commerce Now Sound has invaded the secretarial de partment, enabling the prospective sec retary to practice rapid dictation even when she is all alone in the office all alone, that is, except for the New Mas ter Recording machine. Favorite disk among the students is one made by G. Michael Schmeing, Ph.D., of the chemistry department, at the rate of 80 words a minute. From sound to radio broadcasts is an easy step, so Jane Courtney, presi dent of the Commerce club, secured tickets last Friday for the secretarial students to attend Plantation Party.

Ready, Aim, Fire With Books for Bullets We, as college women, can do our best in the war effort by remaining in school and preparing ourselves for fu ture work and by supplementing our reg ular courses with specialized courses and hirst Aid instruction. This was the concensus of opinion reached in the fust Freshman Forum. April 17, in con sidering Mundelein students' place in the drive for Victory. Jerry Stutz proposed the question of litling student routine into war work, and, as Suzanne Shauman led the dis cussion, freshman opinion leaned toward taking the long-run view of the war. Freshmen voiced the opinion that, however long the conflict, America, af ter the war, will emphatically need trained thinkers and that a liberal edu cation will best fit the student of today to fill that need. Missionaries Battle On All Fronts Describe Work in India Who is my neighbor? He is everyone in the world, but es pecially anyone in need. Sister Mary Francis of the Medical Missii nary So ciety of America pointed this out in her address to the Freshman assembly, on April 24. Sister Mary Francis explained bow the Medical Missionaries have been Good Samaritans to the needy people of India. These sisters, who are doctor, or nurses, have established several hos pitals in India, taking care of the physi cal as well as the spiritual needs of the natives. Supplementing the lecture. Sister Ma ry Cyril presented a series of slides picturing the actual conditions under which the Missionary Sisters work among the Hindus and the Mohamme dans in India. Because of the war, it is temporarily impossible for the community to send additional recruits to the Indian mis sions, but the Sisters look forward to doing far more extensive work in tin- Orient when the war is over. Sound the Alarm Meals Qo Wartime With Nutritionists The demonstrations of food prepara tion which are an annual feature of the meal planning class are taking on a special wartime significance this year. Last Tuesday, the former Red Cross nutrition class was an appreciative au dience for the preparation of Bread in the Low Cost Diet, as illustrated by Jeanne Kaufmann; Cookies for Variety, shown by Mary Ellen Winblad, and Newer Aspects of Vegetable Cooking, as demonstrated by Lydia Boecher. The home economists stressed the im portance of these foods in the wartime nutritional program, and showed the variety of appealing dishes which may be prepared from basic recipes. The nutrition class presented a timely demonstration of Sugar Substitutes, by Patricia Brons, and a demonstration on the preparation of Apples for Good Nu trition, by Barbara Thomson. ...
