Towne Club TaEies

Towne Club's team came out on

This was the first time in the
history of the intra-mural debates
that a woman's team has won the
trophy a silver gavel and also
the first time an unaffiliated team
has taken the honors.
Virginia Steurmer and Dorothea
Lemon were members of the
Towne Club team. Miss Steurmer
spoke on "Rationing" and Miss
Lemon on "War Bonds." The win

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.
