Aircrew Warblings Boost Coed Morale, Bring Blushes BY KIT CARSON Now this is what I want to know! When fifty cadets break into a merry "We're never too busy to say hello! hello, hello, hello!" does one do an about-face, and shake each hand personally, come to attention with a snappy salute, or walk dumbly by, hoping that the slip isn't hanging three feet, auu that your hair looks like you combed it at least day before yesterday. Nothing is funnier than a confused coed trying to get to class in front of fifty wolves. (Er, that probably doesn't include all the cadets!) We would be willing to bet that the cadets know just about every song (mentionable and unmention able) that's ever been printed. Col lege songs, high school glee relics, and songs for, er, all occasions. We Know 'em Now By this time, any girl on the campus can sing every other line of the army air corp song. It's such a good song that we often catch ourselves maching with a one, two, three into an astonished English class. The day the prof calls "Halt," we'll know we're really gone! "For Me and My Gal," "Around Her Neck She Wears a Yellow Ribbon" and "Roll Out the Barrel" are three favorites of the march . . Thetas Second The contending champion for the intra-mural debates was last year's winner, Thl Kappa Psi, which was, however, eliminated in the third round because of ROTC activation. Replace Debates. The victory speeches were given on wartime subjects in keeping with the university's war effort, and were introduced to replace the annual intra-organization de bates. Ten women participated in the competition, three houses and four individual speakers. Besides the winners the entries were Joan Bohrer of the Kappa Alpha Theta team; Margaret Newman and Roberta Burgess, who made up the Gamma Phi Beta team; Janet Mason, Alpha Chi Omega, and Pat Curry, Alpha Phi.

"Elmer the Elephant," a Walt Disney technicolor cartoon will complete the program. Pat Lahr, Union social di rector advises every one to come and see the film billed "for adults only." ing army. But do they know what a good song "Gee, But I Want to go Home" is? The campus has picked it up so fast that it could be number one on the Hit Parade But it really doesn't make much difference what you sing, boys, or how you sing it, we 11 like it just as long as you keep on singing!
