The sev- enty girls attending were divided into teams titled with the names of prominent girls ' colleges. The teams then participated in a round rob ' n tournament, playing hockey, soccer, volley-ball, and archery. Following the games a variety show was given by the WAAers and then lunch was served in the University cafeteria. WAA sponsors the intramurals program for girls and this year arranged a soccer-baseball tournament, a volley-ball tournament, a ping pong tournament, and a badminton tournament. Sororities and Independents compete for a trophy. Another annual activity was the Christmas party, with the traditional folk dances and ex- change of gifts. Guest of honor was Lt. Harvey of the WAAC. The Snowball Fling was cli- maxed, not with snowballs, but with popcorn balls. At the end of the fall semester Miss McLaren, sponsor, left to get married, and the new WAA sponsor is Mrs. Doris Lyman. WAA participated in the University ' s bond drive by investing the greater part of its building fund in war bonds. Innovation this spring was the carnival pre- sented by WAA.

Beginning with a mammoth convocation, the Student Council sponsored a bond drive to reach the goal of $2,000 set for the University stu- dents. A stamp booth was opened at the en- trance to the cafeteria, and Greek and Indepen- dent organizations competed in a bond-and- stamp-seiling contest. Phi Sigma Phi fraternity won. The University was awarded an M flag by the Treasury in recognition of the faculty ' s 100 per cent participation in the payroll bond-buying program. It is believed that the University of Omaha is one of the few colleges and universities in the United States participating so completely in the bond-buying program.
