Pull yourself out of that snow
drift (it's melting anyway), and
grab your spec. We've got a little
news for you at least, we hope
it's news.
Helen West of the Alpha Xi
house is engaged to Corporal Har
old Boone, an AST of last spring
who has just returned from over
seas. Helenas considering tripping
to West Virginia to see his par
ents. Vicki Chilquist's fiance, George
South, phoned her Wednesday to
announce his safe arrival in the
States after a hectic time in Eng
land. That invention of Don
Ameche's is certainly wonderful
hmmm Vicki?
Quick Work.
Sit down before you read this
little item. It rates a blue ribbon
for one of the quickest deals on
record. Sigma Chi Dale Bloss
went home with fraternity brother
Marvin Bowhay. While there Ire
met Marv's. cousin and gave her
his pin. Love at first sight.
Pi Phi Marilyn Nelsen and Fiji
Russ Ledger have that look in
their eyes. Could all those recent
dates be adding up to something
serious in the way of a romance?
DCs Confused.
The DG's are having quite a
confused time. They're having a
convention this week which Presi
dent Nina Scott can't attend be-,
cause that certain man Roy Per
son a Sigma Chi from Oregon is'
here to see her. Vice-prexy Sally
Emerson is having exams this
week. Next in line Nell Scott was
planning to attend until she got
the mumps. Now the DG's are
hoping that nothing happens to
Joyce Crosbie who is the current
choice to represent them.
The Alpha Chi's are having i
their troubles too. They had an
early morning visitor Thursday
who stayed lour or five hours andj
was then taken to St. Elizabeth's;
hospital in an ambulance.
Perfect Climax.
Jackie Rasmussen and DU Roy
Snyder celebrated dancing to
Gene Krupa with a pinhanging.
Quite a climax to a big evening.
Theta Billie Trombla can never
say she hasn't had a fraternity
pin. She had the ATO pin of Bill
Lear for two whole days.
Gamma Phi Wilma Fraser was
found on the day after initiation
with not one but two pins. The
new addition came from Phi Psi
Wally Long ... A nice finale
to a steady deal of long standing.
Don't be alarmed if you see a
queer -looking individual roaming
the campus. Rumor has it that
Oogots's.son is around. For fur

College Raises
$200 for Each
L.A. Student
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ACP)
"Dance to the hum of a P-61,"
sang students of Los Angeles City
college last October as they
launched a War Bond Drive to
raise $100,000 for a Black Widow
plane with a Victory Rally dance
Sixty days later, City College
students had reported total war
bond sales of $415,000, more than
$200 per student.
Campus clubs, associations, hon
or societies, even language bond
clubs especially formed for par
ticipation in the war bond drive
entered a competition for a Vic
tory Plaque award. Variety pro
grams featuring student talent, a
carnival, war bond jeep rides, the
"G. I. Girls Revue," a campus
production, a fish pond, a candy,
gum, and peanut sale on campus,
a radio variety show, a sale of
student paintings, all helped to
swell Black Widow War bond
sales. Late in November, a P-61
Recognition dinner celebrated
sales far over the P-61 goal and
awards were presented to top
ranking student salesmen as well
as to the winning club in the com
petition. A new goal, a hospital service
plane at $125,000 was selected
and again the clubs went into ac
tion, each with a special promo
tion. In mid-December, two
months after the drive began, stu
dents of Los Angeles City college
had bought and sold enough war
bonds and stamps to sponsor two
P-61 Black Widows, a hospital
service plane, and had a surplus
of $50,000 to apply toward their
1945 war savings program.
