SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. DECEMBE~R 4- 1942 USC USC At Fu As War Ye Eds & Coeds Labor With Serious Intent Monday, December 7, the Univer sity will pause in full war swing to remember with defiance the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor one year ago that day. University Christian Mis sion speakers will emphasize the work done and yet to be done before the war and peace are won. War has completely changed the picture of the University life in the brief year since the first attack. Selective service, then a topic of spec ulative conversation has now struck home to the very heart of every Uni versity student. The 18 to 19 year old provision makes every man in the student body on the list, who has not joined reserve corps branches. Officials look forward to a drastic decrease in enrollment with the com ing of the second semester. The work that every student, ed and co-ed, has done in the year since December 7 is a monument to the determination of the people to win, ii was declared in chapei last week by student speakers. Leaping to the call for civilian de fense activity the entire campus was organized and many students trained to do jobs looking to the necessities of warding o1' inAlcn. With the increasing success of the United Nations armies, a swing from civilian defense to preparedness for the fight, and the winning of the peace to come, followed. A stepped up course in reserve training for all branches of the ser vice was introduced, students by the hundreds have registered in these corps, looking to future officer train ing. The Naval ROTC unit at the University inereaed three-fold in size . and the new Naval armory now about to be opened was speeded in construc uoun. Co-eds left the casual knittin' for Britain campaign, instead spent long hours at USO centers entertaining soldiers and preparing for aid to sick soldiers in the Fort Jackson hos pitals. The first Nurses Aid courses in the nation under the Red Cross was formed at the University. Now hun dreds of co-eds are undertaking rig orous training duty to relieve the pressure on the short supply of nurs es. Many of these girls are contin uing the work and will become some of the 50,000 nurses Uncle Sam needs each year to win the war on every front.
