college attendance will be low dur
ing the war and there will be room
in the dormitories for college stu
dents and also a thousand military
students. Glasses can be arranged
to meet military needs and able in
structors Of the college faculty are
available TO assist wherever need
ed in conducting courses for sol.
dieTs.
President John Munson and fac
ulty members have expressed Gag
erness to cooperate with govern
ment agencies in whatever work
they may be asked to do. "Our
hopes, like those OF all Americans,
is for early victory" one college
representative said today, "and We
are ready to do our best wherever
we are needed"
AS this expression seems to re-
fleet the general loyalty Of faculty
and students alike, there is little
doubt but that the government
will find wholehearted support on
the Normal College campus for
whatever course may be decided
upon. The hope, OF course. as ex-
pressed by townspeople particu-
larly, is that the college can be
used to best advantage for educa-
tional purposes and that housing
needs for workers will be met by
new construction and use OF rooms
that will be released by students
under the new ruling that all stu.
dents are to be housed In college
dormitories.
