Defense Group
Writes Letters
To Army Men
Committee Contacts Graduates
In All Branches Of Service;
Old Gargoyles, Dailys Needec
When it comes to morale, Michigan
women have not been caught nap-
ping at the switch, since one of the
League Defense Committee's latest
projects is corresponding with Mich-
igan alumni in the armed forces.
A committee has been formed for
the puipose of carrying on this cor-
respondence, and it consists of Elayne
Bennett, '43, Phyl Bernstein, '42,
Mary Brownrigg, '44, Louise Comins,
'45, Jeanne Cordell, '43, Dorothea
Garrison, Grad., Lyn Gebhardt, '43,
Arlene Hellenberg '44, Roberta Hol-
land, '43, Jean Hubbard, '42, Sally
Hunter, '45, Jerry Jelsch, '42, Audrey
Johnson, '43, Maryellen Lillie, '44,
Emmy Root, '42A, and Mimi Wil-
liams, '44.
This group has been carrying on
a great deal of writing and has con-
tacted every graduate in the armed
services whose name they have re-
ceived. There is still room for more
women on the committee and any-
one interested should go to the Un-
dergraduate Office at the'League for
names. Also the committee would
appreciate any change of address of
men with whom they have been
writing or new names of people
whom they have not yet contacted.
The letters that have been sent
have been filled with campus infor-
mation and Daily and Gargoyle clip-
pings. Any old Michigan publications
would be greatly appreciated by the
women carrying on this project and
they can be deposited at the Under-
graduate Office.
The men in the services appear
fully appreciative of this undertak-
ing. One of the letters received ex-
presses it.
"As I understand it, some of the
B.W.O.C. of Michigan have decided
that we loyal alumni need to have
our morales bolstered and our spirits
raised by the fairest flowers of
American womanhood (Michigan co-
eds, of course!). The whole idea is
encouraging. P.S. Send more Dailies
and Gargs. The whole camp likes
them as well as I do." - Gordon
Watts, '41BSF.
University Woman
Loses Her 'Fortune'
In Education School
Last Tuesday a fortune was lost.
The fortune was $18, but it was all
that was keeping a girl here at the
University, for she is working her
way through.
At the same time two keys, one of
them to her room, were lost. The
money and keys were contained with
her driver's license in a small brown
leather zipper combination coin
purse, billfold, and key holder.
They were lost on the fourth floor
of the School of Education. If any-
one happens to find them in his pos-
sessions, will he please return them
to Elizabeth Ann Walker at Martha
Cook? You can't need it any more
than she does.

as high as Niagara and carrying four
times the volume of water of the
great Victoia falls in Africa will be
born in less than a minute this sum-
mer at the Grand Coulee dam.
Outlet tubes now carry the river
through the dam. These will be
closed by one group of engineers

while another group opens the gates
at the crest of the structure.
The bureau of reclamation will
announce the day and hour for its
super-spectacle later.

tricia MacFarland, President
Of Band, To LeadLantern Night

An outstanding "Woman of the
Class of '42" is the title deserving to
the first woman to be elected presi-
dent of the University Band-Patri-
cia MacFarland, who will have the
honored position of leading the sing-
.ing at Lantern Night Monday.
In cap and gown, Miss MacFar-
land will direct the huge "M" forma-
tion of women taking part in Lan-
tern Night in the singing ofnthe
"Star-Spangled Banner" and the
"Yellow and the Blue" at Palmer
Field.
History Is Major
Miss MacFarland, who plays the
flute, was interested in band and
orchestral music during her high
school days in Dearborn. "The first
time I met Prof. William Revelli,"
said Miss MacFarland, "was at a Band
Clinic in Ann Arbor, which I attend-
ed while in high school."
Even though she decided to be a
history major when she entered the
University, Miss MacFarland con-
tinued her love for music and found
Morris Hall her stopping off place
for long hours of practice as a mem-
ber of the concert band.
When Miss MacFarland first joined
the band, she was one of three wo-,
men out of a total of 120 members,
but the number of women has now
grown to 13.
Represents Band
As president of the band for the
past year, Miss MacFarland has had
the unusual experience of being a
leader of a group composed mostly
of men. Besides that her duties have
been broad in that she has been the
representative of the band on all offi-
cial occasions.
One of the biggest jobs, she had to
handle this year was the planning
for the State Solo and Ensemble Band
and Orchestra Festival, which over
5.000 high school students attended.
To Earn Degree
Miss MacFarland, who is just vot-
ing age, is looking forward to a

The Pipe Was Touchy
DENVER.-(/P)-Someone sneaked
into the old city hall's sub basement
to take a section of lead pipe.
When he cut it, gongs started
clanging in all of the city's fire
stations. He had cut the fire de-
partment's alarm box circuit cable,
.which outwardly resembles a pipe.
By the time Richard Helphinstine,
superintendent of signal systems,
located the trouble, the surprised cul-
prit was gone.

Ball Drawing
Is Undaunted
Tire Ls
Nothwithstanding the lack of as-
surance that there will be a prize
available for the winner, the grand
lottery for this year's Senior Ball to
determine the lucky couple to receive
free transportation to and from the
Ball will be held at 6 p.m. today.
The drawing will break not only
all Senior Ball precedent but all lot-
tery precedent as well, as the "auto-
mobile" in which the transportation
was to have been-provided is as yet
incapacitated through lack of tires,
and there is no guarantee that the
tires will be available the night of
the Ball.
Abducted Car returned
Mysteriously abducted from its
parking place behind University Hall
earlier this week, the car was re-
turned the following day with a note
saying that the tires would be held
for ransom.
Although Tom Williams, '42E, Ball
chairman, is worried about the suc-
cess of the lottery, owner of the car
Bob Summerhays, 42E, isn't worried
in the least about his tires.
"They'll be returned," he confided.
"It won't be long before the thieves
realize that they aren't rubber at
all, but a special compound made of
used chewing gum which I have
been collecting for the past 4$ years."
Anonymous Tip Is Aid
An anonymous tip Thursday result-
ed in the recovery of two of the
tires through dragging operations in
the Huron River, but the other three
tires are still missing.
"We've recovered the Juicy Fruit
and Pepsin tires," Summerhays said
after tasting, "but the Dentyne,
Spearmint and Bubble Gum tires
aren't back yet."
The place of the drawing will not
be announced, Williams has decided,
as it will mean that the drawing may
be accomplished without outside in-
terference.
Only students who have purchased
their Ball tickets by noon today will.
be eligible .for the lottery, Williams
pointed out. Tickets may be obtained
until that time at the Union desk.

Summer Shopping
Soon To Be- Limited
With cool weather persisting for
the last week or so, University women
have kept out their topcoats and re-
versibles, forgetting that hot weather
and summer clothes will soon be in
the offing. Its time for a reminder
that the shops, while well-stocked
now with gay cotton dresses, play
clothes and formals, will soon find
their stocks thinned and their racks
empty.
Priorities are a reality now, even
though it may seem hard to realize
in the "ivory tower" of college life.
So here's a warning to do your sum-
mer shopping early, while you still
can have the pick of the shops. Be-
fore long you'll find fewer colors
and less variety of style to suit your
particular tastes.
