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

IACK OGG, Miss Ina Gittings, Bill Lindamood, Lorcc Collins, I. F. Mcliale, Miriam McCabe, Tom Ellinwood, Dean A. H. Otis and Miss Florence Bond work hand in hand on stu- dent war aid. THE NERVE CENTER of all campus war work is located in the University War Activities Com- mittee. Here students and faculty members Work together on plans that will further the university's aid in the War effort. Their seal of approval goes upon all student sponsored War measures, such as the Spur's Defense Stamp Day.

With music furnished by one of the orchestras from near-by army bases, these formal functions are held in the ballroom of one of Tucson's hotels. COED MEMBERS of thc Young Women's De- fense League entertain the service men at bi- monthly dances. Page 18

, ja6Aion5 re A! ecfec! WAR CAME! She lost her nylons, but she found leg make-up. She lost her Dragon Red, but she found Vic- tory Red polish. She lost her six seasonal pairs of shoes, but she found a No. 17 coupon right in with her sugar book and she only needed one pair anyway. She lost her long bob, but she found a Victory bob was easier to handle. She lost her convertible, but she found a Wonder- ful Way to reduce riding a bicycle and walking. Miss 1943 Co-Ed of the University of Arizona may have lost a lot, but she still has her sweaters and skirts and she still has her saddle shoes. But most of all she still has her femin- inity. And that, brother, is morale. IF MARY FRAN BILLINGSLEY had been L1 coed in post-war l922, she would have worn long pearls, black stockings, and quantities of shiny sequins. WAR-TIME CLOTI-IES are sensible and feminine, espe- cially if worn by Kuppus Gail Thompson and Rachel Wasem. MIGGIE BROWN'S SVVEATERS, skirts, and spectator pumps will never take a buck scat, war or no war.
