After Dec. 7, we all said significantly "Re- member Pearl Harbor," huddled a bit closer to the news broadcasts and wondered who might be on the casu- alty lists. About this time some of the boys began to leave school and more of them to talk of leaving, orofrhaving to leave to go to war. There was a defense rally and a student commit- tee set up. Not until this week was there an Ann Arbor-and a Univer- sity-fatality "for sure." The whole campus national de- fense effort seems to be working in, the same pokey fashion. The ideas, surveys, possible plans, adaptations of courses and so on are many, and terrific. Still precious little has been accompli hed in the five weeks we've been at la-. This week house directors in all the residences on campus undertook to register the women within their' houses for defense courses to be offered next semester. The work was done ins cooperation with the Office of the Dean of Women and it was made quite clear that both defense courses or community work were to be strictly voluntary. But though the actual sign-up was pretty fair, the real response was disappointing. Lack of immediate enthusiasm is indicative of lack of understanding of the seriousness of the situation or of the intent of the courses. We're hopingthis general apathy doesn't mean all it might; it hardly seems as if there's' any stu- dent who wouldn't give freely of her time if she thought it might "really help." Exceptionally'collegiate is the'ten- dency to let the world topple without while we all sit by fascinated by the spectacle. Criticism then goes not to those who are attempting to get de- fense plans moving in high gear but to the student who lacks patience and the desire to cooperate with all eft forts.
