Defense Director F Home - Front Fight Major Mahon Commends Student Work Thus Far Colleges and universities of South Carolina are being called upon by Major G. Heyward Mahon, director of the State Council for Defense, to mobilize civilian defense on their campuses for all-out war service. Major Mahon commended the work already done by students and faculty members, but emphasized that great opportunities for war ser vice remain to be fuffilled. The first obligation of the cam pus civilian defense organization, Major Mahon pointed out, is to provide adequate protection for students, faculty and buildings. Be sides protection from possible phy sical danger, he said, civilian de fense work is helpful in maintaining the morale of college men and women who are eager to share in the war effort.

"They are concerned not only with winning the war, but also c with the nature of the post-war world and their place in it. The best release from the conflicting emotions raised by the impact of total war is provided by the satis faction of becoming home-front fighters in civilian defense. "Colleges and universities are res ervoirs of knowledge and talent that should be opened up not only to their campuses but to their sur rounding communities and states as ( well. The first phase of the civilian defense program - recruiting - is well on its way to success, and the second phase - training the mil lions of volunteers - now needs the support of student and faculty spqcialists from the country's cam puses.
