■k Betty Sue is a person with songs for every occasion. Good-bye, Sue and He ' s My Guy are among the most appropriate. He must truly be a swell guy, too, from all reports. And last, but not least, there is our own Mary Virginia Turner (the genius). She wears a pair of silver wings originally belonging to a flier in England. At the time of this writing, however, Jim might be on his way home for a much-needed rest. It is unanimously wished that he will make a speedy return.

PENNSYLVANIA DORMITORY This year there are thirteen gals who Uve at 1213 N. Pennsylvania. If you aren ' t superstitious, just ask Mrs. Page, housemother whether thirteen isn ' t an unlucky number or not. The first ones to gossip about are the frosh. First, we meet Florine, one of the swellest gals ever to enter our dorm, who is always worrying and belittling herself for no justifiable reason whatever. With her talent, ability and good disposition, she never need worry about getting ahead in this world. Incidentally, she gets practically all the mail around here. Willie is our little problem child. Problem number one is getting her out of bed in the morning, and problem number two is getting her into bed at night. She doodles all the time, too. But the worst problem of all is that she has periodical controversies with the man in her life. In Harold ' s case, love and career don ' t mix. Really, though, Willie is a good kid, affords us all a laugh when we need it, and makes darn swell cocoa. Bert keeps us all in a dither as to what Purdue man will show up next — every week a different one. But confidentially, her heart is out to sea with a cer- tain little (?) sailor from ye old home town. That takes us to Helen, whose heart belongs to a daddy in the Air Corps. Her vocal chords gave out with a nice war whoop the day she heard that Griff was just next door in Illinois. Helen is the one who faithfully composes at least one letter per day to her big wonderful air cadet. And the smallest of all our freshmen girls is Connie, who is hoarding a pre- cious pair of nylons. How we envy her of that possession! I have a feeling that those stockings are being saved for a special purpose — namely Merrill of Uncle Sam ' s army. We must all look our best for the servicemen, you know. Janice is our art student. She keeps us supplied with pin-up girls — and boys — from John Herron. We especially liked Agnes. Jody, as we all know, is the girl with the handsome Midshipman at I. U. Medical School. We all envy her plenty for having her man so close and handy. They really make a dandy couple. Chick, at present, has more important things to occupy her mind than men. Those big brown eyes of hers really have plenty of that old spark though. Frances is sporting a very beautiful diamond this year. At the present, her Cecil is at San Diego, California. That makes their romance a long distance affair, but with the use of pen, ink and air mail stamps, it is continued with a large degree of success. Mary Jane is the little gal who keeps the other little gals in the front room in line. What with Mary V. embracing an 8 x 10 photograph and Susie eagerly hugging a much read letter, there is a definite need for someone who can keep a cool head under such circumstances. Sometime soon, however, some disturbing influence will no doubt enter her life, causing her to be just as utterly insane as all people in love. Now for a few more details about the affairs of our front room girls. Colleen has not encountered her ideal as yet, but there are several factors which are perplexing. Her sales resistance is quite high, thereby making a certain salesman in England have a pretty hard time.
