The library of the war information center and civilian morale service established at the University, under the supervision of the U.S. Office of Education, has been officially opened and is now available as a service to the people of the state, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced. The organization committee for establishment of the center is headed by Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division. Headquarters are on the second floor of Watson library, and are under the superi- C. M. Baker director?
vision of C.M. Baker, director of libraries, and Miss Helen Wagstaff, of the extension division.
Establishment of the war information center involves a cooperative arrangement with subject matter specialists and institutional librarians. Members of the faculty and student committees are volunteering time to work in setting up the various services proposed as a part of the operation of the information center.
A speakers' bureau has been set up under the direction of Prof. E. C. Buehler, of the speech department, and Orville Wright, of Burlington, one of the outstanding students in forensics at the University. The bureau plans to provide speakers for study and civic clubs throughout this area on various phases of the war and attendant civilian morale.
The war defense committee of the Men's Student Council, of which Wright is chairman, has arranged a series of forum discussions already under way, to enable students to participate in lectures and discussions on the many aspects of our war activities and peace aims. Chief purpose of this program is to train students to assume leadership in their home communities, especially in civilian defense activities.
Plans are also under way under the direction of Dr. George Baxter Smith, dean of the School of Education, for the operation of leadership training institutes through which volunteer speakers and discussion leaders may better prepare themselves with respect to both methods
A chief function of the center, Mr. Ingham pointed out, will be the provision of source material for local defense councils, study clubs, civic organizations, libraries, and other societies throughout the state and also the consultation of faculty specialists on the University staff in the various fields pertaining to the war and civilian morale.
Numerous student organizations, including the recently established co-ed volunteer corps, as well as faculty members and groups, have been enthusiastic about volunteering their services in carrying out the important functions of the center.
