Clearly revealed in the replies to the survey. An example of progress in aiding men
who are subject to call comes from Colorado College:

"During the second semester of the past year, our gymnasium facilities were
made available to the men of the town who had been drafted, and a night class was of~
fered to draftees including calisthenics, drill and command. This class was conduct-
ed by the head of the physical shiatabinn department and was organized under the
auspices of the local post of the American Legion."

A Step Toward Promotion

"Every effort was made to assist draftees toward fitting into military duty
easily," the report continues. "Training was given in Army calisthenics, the school
of the soldier, squad, platoon and company. Command and leadership were stressed. rt
is thought that those availing themselves of the opportunities were greatly assisted
toward promotion after entering the services. The draftees entering this class stay-
ed with it throughout the semester and apparently appreciated it very much."

The University of Illinois instituted a similar course last spring, as did
the University of Iowa. At Missouri Valley College, the home guard in the tow of
Marshall has been offered the use of the gymnasium for drilling purposes. Some
athletic associations have seen their way clear to donating new and used equipment to
recreation centers at various camps.

Tennis courts and swimming pools are being made available in a number of in-
stances and reduced fees are being offered on college-owned golf courses. In a more
social line, Rhode Island State is planning to offer its gymasium for Saturday night
dances "with the college co-eds providing the other half of the entertainment". At
the University of Santa Clara, the term "facilities" has been taken in the broadest
sense and it is reported that "we encourage our students who drive cars to offer rides
to wiformed men whenever they see them along the highway". Southern University, of
Louisiana, provides sleeping quarters in its gymasium for soldiers visiting the col-

lege on weekends.
