submitted in all seven classes. This
proved to be, “Prelude” by Eliba-
beth Johnston.
Tlie contest was .State-wide in
seojie and more than one-hundred
compositions were entered under a
nom deplume, which enabled the
judges to make their decisions with
out the knowledge of the identities
of the various composers.
A silver cup will be presented to
Lib by Mrs. Maurice Ilonigman of
Gastonia, president of the Federat
ion, when Lib performs her com
position at the annual meeting of
the federation in Raleigh on April

Evanston, 111. — (A C P ) —New
training programs designed to pre
pare college women for war tasks
and to lay the foundation for their
future careers will be introduced by
Northwestern university starting
with the spring quarter.
The new programs, which resulted
from recommendations of military,
industrial, and civic leaders, are out
lined in a special bulletin published
by the university committee on war
activities. They fall into three fields
of study—war industry, community
service, and military service, and
cover study periods ranging from
a year to a year and a half.
The university’s policy will be to
make the programs immediately
available for all 'n’omeii students
w'ho desire to prepare themselves for
positions in the war effort. By un
dertaking such study, the student
will, not only fit herself for a spe
cific war task but will receive basic
training which will open up new op
portunities after the war.
The programs outlined may be
followed by w'omen (1) who are now
enrolled as regular students, (2) who
wish to enter the university as reg
ular students, and (3} who wish to
enroll as special students to follow
one of these programs.
For women who desire to enter
military or other government serv
ice, courses are offered in meteor
ology, map making, weather ob
server, economic analyst, assistant
in public administration, and junior
accountant. To qualify for these
positions students will be quired to
take a' w’ide variety of technical
subjects.
Two fields of study will be offered
for women preparing for industry.
One groupi o fcourses wil lequip wo
men as office managers, personnel
managers, and production supervis
ors. The second group includes tech
nical assistants in chemical, electri
cal, and mechanical engineering, lab
oratory research aides, and x-ray
technicians.
Those women who wish to enter
community service will take work
in the fields of social service, com
munity organization, recreational
work, and personnel work.

Ann Arbor, Mich.—(ACP)—Worn
en are now being trained at the
University of Michigan as engineer
ing aides for the army ordnanee^de-
partment.
In announcing the new training
program. Prof. Robert H. Sherlock,
co-ordinator for the engineering,
science and management war train
ing program at the university, de
clared it is the only one of its kind
in the United States.

lected 50 women from among civil
service employees in army arsenals
throughout the country to be sent
to the university to receive a spe
cial course of instruction.
The women receive base pay of

new class brings to 260 the number

various agencies of the armed forces.
MAIL KEEPS MALE

(Sarah Merritt)
Mail-bound-and neither screaming
editorials, slippery mud, nor plead
ing under-norished grass can stop
the endless tramp, tramp, tramp,
across the Salem square to the little
building labled, “POST OFFICE”.
F'ive times a' day (or more) anxious
femmes race over—and not always
just to peer disappointedly at un
disturbed dust in their boxes, be
cause on an average of five hundred
lotter.s are sorted for the Salem
district every morning in the first
mail. (Of these, the percent that
goes in Salem College boxes and the
percent that goes to the rest of the
Salem community can not be esti
mated accurately because non-
govei’nmont employees arc not
allowed to handle un-sorted mail.)
The customary breakfast-table mail
call starts the day right because
ihis early morning haul is the
heaviest in tho day, sometimes top
ping seven and eight hundred letters
all to be divided between two
hundred seventy boxes. (I never
have gotten iny share of that pile!)
I' rom this first average, it is esti
mated that the government makes
fifteen dollars a day on in-coming
mail, but from a machine count of
out-going letters of March 29, the
government sold $93.81 worth of
stamj)S for tho evening mail. S'ince
it is the end of the month, the
extra factory mail may account for
about- two-thirds of these 3,127 let
ters . . . but Salcmites boast of
much of this letter writing, espec
ially tho 25 airmails, regardless
of the acute ease of spring fever
term-paper fever, and war-blues
fever. At this rate the community
of Salem in really doing its part
in supporting the government.
live incoming mails and seven
out-going mails keep the overworked
postmen busy sorting or collecting
the letters, and keep us overworked
students busy hopefully running
back and fourth to j)eer into dusty
cobby-holes or to get a very special
letter off on the next mail.
UNCLE NEEDS US
AND RECRUITERS
ARE SALEM-BOUND
Charlotte—A team of WAAC Re
cruiters consisting of one WAAC
Officer, one Auxiliary, and one En
listed Man will be at Salem Acad
emy and College on April 16th and
17th to answer questions, contact
interested girls, and take applica
tions for enrollment in the Womeu’.s
Army Auxiliary Corps.
The team is making a' tour of the
major women’s colleges in North
and South Carolina in an effort to
increase enrollments and at the same
time expedite enrollment of college
girls who have waited until the end
of the college semesters before
joining the rapidly growing corps of
the Women’s Army.
Lt. Dorothy E. Cooper, 3rd Offi
cer of the WAAC and Assistant Re
cruiting Officer of the Charlotte
District Recruiting Headquarters is
in charge of the “Collegiate Re
cruiting Crew.’ ’ Auxiliary Mary E.
i'oster and Private Bill Mitcham
are the members of the team which
IS covering every major women’s
college in the two Carolinas for the
purpose of enrolling college women
in the Women’s Branch of the U.
R. Army.
This lightning tour of the major
colleges in the Carolinas will cover
a total mileage of more than a thou
sand miles, and will take place'dur
ing the month of April.
Women are desperately needed
now to release men for actual com
bat duty, and the college women are
an untapped source of women-power
that is now being called upon to aid
in the fight to protect the freedom
of America.
