This is the first time, how ever, that officials have called the College to request that graduates avail able for positions get in touch with government agencies immediately. Experienced economics or accounting majors who qualify will be trained as supervisors in government offices. They will travel in the United States and its territorial possessions, all expenses paid. English majors or minors, two of whom have already been accepted, are to do correspondence work concerning War Ponds. No experience is neces sary, and typing and shorthand are not required. Sister Mary Bernarda, B.V.M., Dean of the College, will represent Mundelein as a member of the Membership and Publicity committees at the twenty- third annual convention of the Illinois State Association of Deans of Women, to be held on Dec. 4 and 5 at the Palmer House.
