When the members of Wilson Hal signed up for their share of war
Work they decided to do something different and they did. The
girls are now recruiting for the navy. They are contacting through
personal letters alumna of the university in an effort to interest
them In enlistment in the WAVES. Those graduates who are In
terested are asked to notify the Lincoln office. All the actual en
listments are handled by the navy,
Members of Wilson hall, wom
en s co-operative nouse, are aoing
their war work by recruiting
women among university alumnae
for service in the WAVES.
When the Lincoln navy office
asked for help in recruiting, they
received a unanimous consent from
members of the co-op house who
began writing letters in longhand
to alumni. The letters outline the
qualifications and opportunities
offered by the navy auxiliary.
Navy Does Work.
Alumnae are asked to notify the
Lincoln office if they are inter
ested, and all actual enlistments
are taken through the navy re
cruiting office.
Most of the girls in Wilson hall
do not come between the ages of
enlistment for the WAVES and
count this project as something
they can do in the line of national
defense. Each girl is responsible
for a certain number of letters,
some of which are already on the
way.

Quarantineed Dorms
... No Males, But Plenty of Mail
BY JEAN GLOTFELTY.
"I'm only a bird In a gilded
cage," was the theme song of 283
girls quarantined in the Dorm last
week when some of their fellow
boarders picked up scarlet fever.
Luckier campus pals on the out
side caught occasional glimpses
of shiny noses pressed longingly
against the window panes and
felt sorry for the confined co-eds.
But when the cat's away, the
mice will play. The absolute ab
sence of men (except Joe the Cop,
who can stand anything now) left
the gals free to be natural And
nature really had a heyday.
Campus "glamma-gals'' roamed
the halls of Carrie Belle minus
make-up, with straight hair and
Ipajama tails flapping behind
them. Dirty sweat snircs, jean
and diiieputable moccasins cams
out from under the bed. No bua
boys made the accepted dress for
dinner consists of shorts, house
coat, or less.
Looking For Something.
Mail, male, the never-ending
quest for food, and "gab sessions"
were the main diversion. No on
studied (needless to say). Every
one wrote letters which couldn't
be mailed and bemoaned the fact
that man morale from Maine to
California would hit an unprece
dented slump.
Those prejudiced males who
think women can't get along to
gether were proved very wrong.
