Air Force Calls
Women To Aid
4Beliind-lines'
Air-WACs are something new.
For the first time, women may
enlist in the WAC specifically for
lervice with the army air
forces. The AAF has begun an
intensive campaign to enlist re
cruits immediately because they
are faced with a drastic need of
women for vital bchind-the-lines
service.
Under this new program, WACs
will be assigned to duty with the
air forces upon completion, of
five weeks' basic training. Wom
en with suitable experience or
training will be assigned direct
ly to an AAF flying or headquar
ters field. They will be recom
mended for the field of work in
which they are best qualified. One
hundred and fifty positions are
open to Air-Wacs in medical, per
sonnel, public relations, photo
graphic, weather, drafting, radio,
communications, mechanical, and
other fields.
Physically fit women from 20
through 49 years of age, married
or single, with no dependents, are
eligible to be AirWACs. '

Howdy, Chillun!
Wei, spring is not here altho old
man weather would seemingly
have it that way, as of the last
couple of days.
At any-mte, there has not been
a lull in candy passing . . . AOPi
Helen Gogeia surprised her
sorority sisters on Monday night
by passing said candy. Art Austin
is the lucky fellow, and is a Nu
Sigma Nu Med student in Omaha
. . . The Tri Delts were honored
with a double candy passing when
Jeanne Coffee announced her en
gagement to Dick Henninger now
at Harvard Air Base, and Shirley
Nelson announced her engagement
to Sigma Nu Tippy Edwards now
in Mississippi. Incidentally, it
seemed that at the moment of It
all, Shirley had had her diamond
for 14 months and Jeanne for 14
hours.

Pat Gillaspie received a beautiful
diamond from one Tom Healey of
Camp Miramer in San Diego . . .
A diamond was also placed on
AOPI Peg Capron, and the lucky

by Alpha Chi Mary Mason, the
lucky fellow being Sig Chi Bob

But, now on the other hand, we
find Alpha Phi Lorraine Rabe re
hiring the DU pin of John Drum

frequently with Beta Johnny Dean

Swanholm no longer wears the
DU pin of Donny Kling. Her new
interest seems to be one Dean
