A standout speech by Bumpy Stevenson highlights the need for civilian contributions to the Red Cross during wartime. He notes the organization’s vast work and the relatively small funds required, asking readers to consider how many seconds of global aid six dollars a second can buy.
The letter thanks Tony and contributors for coins and small gifts aiding a Barnard girl’s cause. Readers are urged to maintain daily or weekly giving to meet a remaining ninety dollars for summer payments. Gratitude is expressed for a donor in crepe and for the motherly support felt in the community.
A reader letter questions election results and suggests a revote while urging turnout for the re vote. The writer cites possible fraud or error and blames Barnard for the situation, urging attendance at a meeting or sending a vote via a proxy with a valid excuse.
Dolores Drew profiles Bumpy Stevenson, Red Cross clubmobile driver and war worker. She details Stevenson life from Smith College to wartime service in Africa Italy and the Fifth Army, her humor and courage aiding morale, and her postwar talks and continued public appearances.
Ellen Maeser describes a case study of Goodyear Aircraft’s training and placement program. She details an eleven week indoctrination, department rotations, and tours at Akron plants, then notes a shift to clerical work amid war hiring pressures and limited personnel openings.
Reader letters criticize the Barnard line for long waits after classes and breakfast. They propose premaking a set number of sandwiches before the 12 05 rush to reduce crowding and waste without harming options like sliced egg and peanut butter and jelly.
A dubious promotion touts a pamphlet The Truth About Pearl Harbor as a guide for young women to impress authorities. It claims Roosevelt provoked Japan and crowns readers as wiser than mentors, urging readers to seek “inside info” to dazzle editors, professors, and radio commentators.
A stream of campus happenings unfolds from midterm exams and Greek Games to cake sales for charity. The letter mentions a dorm gossip scene, a Bear literary magazine, UNIC activities, a Water Carnival with impromptu swimming, and the writer’s reluctance toward geology homework.
