lT'S GOOD' EXERCISE say these campus coeds on bicycle s. But Barbara Falck, Adelaide Read, Betty Tierney, Mary Spaulding, Doris McNaughton, Flora Bye Riley and Virginia Skiff are doing a lot more than watching their figures as they patriotically deliver messages and packages for defense. IT WAS MISS COED who solved the problem of tire rationing, gasoline rationing and general conservation of automobiles. Uniting themselves into a mobile unit, these members of the Bicycle Corps do their bit by carrying messages and delivering packages on their bikes at any hour of the day when they can give their services. One important bundle delivered is that containing the Ari- zona Wildcat. .This campus paper is sent to every former student now in the armed service. Bringing them news of their former friends, and announcements of schoolmates' marriages, this message from home is a most welcome sight to any alumnus anywhere. It takes time and effort to wrap these hundreds of papers, but these coeds know that their Work is appreciated. LOIS BARNARD, Dorothy Mayne, Betty Bogle, Milt XVhitlcy, Jayne Selzer, Dottie Sawyer, Kenny Patton and Hugh Hop- kins wrap Wildcats for the soldiers. Wu 1 . .- ,. 'S has nf 1.1 3
