, 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.

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

IN 1943 MISS COED found that for the first time the University of Arizona had more women than men. lt looked bad indeed. She soon dis- covered, however, that the Army, Navy and espe- cially the Air Corps, more than amply made up the lacking 2.132 of missing men. She found that many of her classmates had married, many were the proud possessors of engagement rings and an alarming number had taken fraternity pins. Fast growing friendships, hasty good-night kisses, farewell pin-hangings and a few tears- these are the memories Miss Coed will have of the war years. MARY ELLEN DAMRON, wife of a first lieutenant in foreign service, typifics thc many young married Coeds on campus carrying on.
