Capt. W. G. "Bill" Wake, APO 559, N. Ye, was @ freshman at the University,
and en account ef illness in the family was net permitted te come back his
sephemere year. But what a jeb this bey has donei Bill writes --

"A few changes have taken place since I last wrete to youe The big push
fer ene thing. I was right in the middle of it. I guess we helped the beys
eut seme. I have made my captaincy new and ama wing leader. I lead 2 wing
eon "Dp" day alse. Have had quite a bit ef success since coming ever here. In my
last raid, I lead the entire 8th Air Ferce and I guess I'm going te get the D.F.Cs
. for ite Anyway, it was quite an hener and I was quite flattered when I was
chosene

"TI see the G. I. Bill ef Rights passed so maybe I will be a student at
KU. again if I'm net tee old by the time the war is ever. I had my 24th
birthday just last menth. ... . I hepe we get Hitler and his gang routed
eut seon.” :

Yeu bet, Bill, the G. I. Bill of Rights, which has been made a law, will
enable eur Jayhawk Rebounders to rebound in a big way on Mt. Oread, and what
a time we will have. Gesh, the bullfests that will take nlace in the wee
small heurs ef the merning when the veterans of World War II will be talking
tegether. It will be better than any beek that a fellew has ever read. And
we are leoking forward te sitting in en a let ef these. What a thrill yeu
fellews will give usé

In Bill's letter of March 20th written on American Red Cress stationery,
Bill said, "I never fail te put a big K.U. in bleck letters on one of the
bundles fer Hitler and his gang." Se Bill is still threwing bundles at Adelf,
and Adelf deesn't have te unwrap them. Keep tessing seme bundles at that
blankety-blank, Bill. .

It is wenderful te have wemen in the wari Gracie Allen is fighting a
great war ever here, and she is a great strategist. At the big Fifth War
Lean Bend drive in Kansas City, Gracie became a strategist. She asked all the
heusewives te save seme extra grease. They have been doing that anyhow, but she
wants them te save a little mere and she is sending seme aviaters ever Berlin,
she said, and she is geing te have them drep that grease on the sidewalks of
Berlin. She says there will be a let of sere Heinies ever there! Se if we
had a few mere gals like Gracie the war weuld be ever seon. We weuld have them
flat en their backs.

And now for the big news. Ernest C. Quigley, a Kansas athletic great of
1900, a fermer ceach at St. Mary's Cellege and St. Leuis University, alse
Natienal League umpire ef many, many years, and the outstanding national sperts
efficial in the United States fer many years, has been elected Director of
Athletics at the University eof Kansas.

We all welcome Quig, mest whole-heartedly. He is courageous, energetic,

dynamie and resourceful. One wag said that Quigley has been cennected with
prefessional athletics se leng he should make a great suecess in college athleti«s.
