scores of college campuses. Many
parents, in more or less unobserv-
ant homes, receive letters which
make them wonder what form of
delightful evangelism has swal-
lowed up their soldier-sons!
Socials take a great deal of
planning and here the girls on
the campus have the best oppor-
tunity to be of service. They are
the new civilian leaders and have
proudly inherited the Hillel cabi-
net posts. They provide the elates
and arrange the parties, the
smokers, the mixers, the cost sup-
pers, and the diversified social
functions which give the trainees
an effective normal outlet. The
sororities and organized houses
have enthusiastically become part
of the social program. The towns-
people, usually organized through
efforts of the Jewish Welfare
Board, have invariably extended
themselves to be helpful.

Trainees come more frequently
than do boys in civilian life, be-
cause their new experience has
rendered them infinitely more
serious and there is renewed in-
terest in religious and social prob-
lems. Besides, the director is a
valuable link with normalcy, and
the boys welcome the period of
informal conversation and coun-
sel. On most campuses, by special
arrangements with the command-
ant, the director, though a civi-
lian, has been granted permis-
sion to visit the military infirm-
aries and hospitals, and his com-
forting letters to the parents are
a valuable contribution to home
morale.
Apart from specialized service,
the Hillel facilities are always
available, and the trainees in free
periods, drop in to play ping pong
or checkers, to browse in the
well-stocked library, to sit quiet-
ly over the magazines, to listen
to the popular and classical rec-
ords, to chat with a pretty hos-
tess, (any girl is pretty to a
trainee whose regular routine is
quite monastic), to write home,
or to friends, or for the hun-
dred and one quiet and relaxed
services which the Hillel head-
quarters provide.
diers, in their off-periods, welcome
the respite to come to a camp-
us with its widened opportunity
for companionship with young
people. The primary responsibil-
ity for the camp program rests
with the Jewish Welfare Board.
The Hillel Foundations have
gladly offered their cooperation
in this program, for their estab-
lished facilities naturally attract
the servicemen. At the Univer-
sity of Illinois, for example, only
13 miles from Chanute Field,
where there are often more than
1,000 Jewish men in training as
air mechanics, the Hillel building
is used as ancillary headquarter
by the Jewish Welfare Board.
The J. W. B. representative and
the Hillel director work out joint
plans to serve hundreds of Cha-
nute Field men each week. The
Michigan Foundation is similarly
utilized by hundreds of men who
come in from Fort Custer. They
take advantage of a program
which is organized primarily for
the many trainees in the Judge
Advocate General's School for
U. S. Army men, the Japanese
language contingent, the Army
meteorologists, the Army medical
corps, the engineering cadets, and
the youngsters in many other
branches of the service. Michigan

a Godsend in the dovetailing of
the Hillel civilian and military
program.

In summary, then, it may be
noted, that Jewish life on the
college campus has definitely not
become a war casualty. It remains
wholesome and vital. The normal
program continues without any
hiatus. For the registration of
girls has not materially declined.
There are substantial contingents
of deferred students, of young-
sters under 18, and of men who
cannot pass physical examina-
tions. All of these participate in
the regular civilian program. Re-
ligious services, cultural group3,
classes, forums, social welfare
projects, interfaith seminars, all
flourish. There is no moratorium
on the affirmative objectives of
the Hillel Foundation.
But the campus is now part of
the war effort. and Hillel, with
well-trained leadership, excellent
facilities, a tried technique, and a
respected tradition, has gladly
thrown its resources into the
military pool. It now reaches
thousands of young people who
remain civilians, but also many
thousands of young servicemen
on campus and in camp, who
must not be neglected by the
Jewish community. They are be-
ing trained to understand what
the war is about. The world of
tomorrow is being presented to
them as a world of peace, shorn
of the terror of naked power, a
world which will offer them cre-
ative- expression for their poten-
tialities. And as part of this ori-
entation, they are being intro-
duced to the enduring values of
their own Jewish heritage. Even
in the travail of war, they are
learning how to integrate Jewish
civilization with wholesome Amer-
ican living.
