Twenty-five rls appeared for the interview, but is not known yet who will accept e offer. Curtis-Wright Corporation, the oneer family of aviation and one I the three largest aeuadutical con !rns in the United States, has an >unced a far-reaching plan for the aining of a large number of young 'omen to fill engineering positions ithin their organization. Completely new in many of its ;pects, the idea presents a challenge > college women, and with ever-in reasing numbers of women entering idustries and the services, it pre nits a real chance for many to per :rm a vital wartime duty. The merican Council on Education, in its lulletin of October 17, 1943. has ken a realistic stand on the role iat college women must prepare to lay in the total war effort: Many women from all walks of life re already working in the machine lops and assembly lines, as well as the offices, of war production ants. Very few, however, have as !t entered the highly creative field I engineering in these same plants. Iow, for the first time, industry has )ened a new field to college-trained omen-a field that will allow a far reater utilization of their academic kckground. )roposed Plan To )ool Fund Drives Reduction Of Campaign Purpose Behind Program The University of South Carolina ommittee on Coordination, subcomi ittee of the student-faculty rela-i ans group, has recommended the loption of a community chest pro am for the University. The purpose of the program will to reduce the number of drives for oney on the campus and to insure far as possible that student con ibutions will be distributed accord g to informed student desire. Probable beneficiaries of the chest -ive would be the World Student ervice Fund, The Red Cross, The uberculosis Association, The United ervice Organizations, The Carolina ooster's Club and other student rives that seek revenue from the stu mnt body, and the emergency fund. The committee recommended the tablishment of a permanent com unity chest committee, which would ake its own rules and regulations ud have charge of all plans for the test drive each year. The com ittee further recommended that the >mmunity chest committee be made standing committee of the Univer ty student body, financially re >onsible to the student body and de nudent upon the student body for its >ntinued existence. It was suggested that before the ive for contributions begins, per ntage allotments to the several bene :iaries be publicized, and that goals dollars be set for these benefi aries.

The board requested the faculty of tile school of law to investigate the pt ssibilitics and feasibility of con ducting law classes at night for the duration oi the war, rather than in the day as at present.
