anxious to have the sympathy and interest of students throughout this great
country. America has a tremendous task in the Near East. No student of his-

THE COLLEGE WOMAN AND RECONSTRUCTION
(The following was taken from an article in Eleusis of X O)
One of the largest fields for women's work in reconstruction is along physical
lines. Trained women are badly needed in military hospitals for reconstruction
aides and for carrying on the occupational therapy work. This has as its main
function the teaching of new trades to disabled soldiers. With great surgical
skill ingenious mechanical limbs have been invented and these can now be sup-
plied to the disabled man. After he has learned to manipulate them he is
taught a useful trade adapted to his particular case and he is prepared to
again become an economic contributor. Surely no work could be more praise-
worthy than this and the woman with a broadened horizon could be an infinite
influence for good.

Many of us thought when the peace news reached us that our opportunity
to serve in the great world conflict was past and many persons sincerely regretted
this. However, this is not the case, for the opportunity for service is still
greater now and one has the opportunity to serve all mankind, not merely his
own country. The clarion call for the trained woman sounds loud and clear.
Arise, college women, and answer it.—From Banta's Greek Exchange.

WHAT IS A CAMPUS?
The girls do not wear their pins upon their campus, and wear them con-
cealed when they are with college people.—Reprinted from Kappa Alpha
