"Mackie" is a presidential candidate for the Independent Student association, of which she is now activities chairman. Besides working on Student Union activities, she is a member of the Civil Rights Co-ordinating council and social chairman of Miller hall.
Mackie enjoys "bull sessions." She is a good listener and is interested in philosophy. After being graduated as valedictorian of Argentine High school in Kansas City, Kan., she has maintained a better than two-point average at the University. Her major is biological sciences.
Definitely an "outdoor girl" she likes nearly all sports. She is a member of the Women's Athletic association and was chosen to play on the sophomore class volleyball and basketball teams.

Englund Rations Time; Maintains High Grades
Realizing that there is something to be done and then doing it are the ways that Stanley Englund, chemical engineering junior, has maintained his high scholastic average and his extracurricular activities. Stan, who graduated from Salina high school in 1945, entered the University in the fall of 1946 and for five semesters has maintained a 2.74 grade average.
Stan, a six foot blonde, maintains that "good grades are not the result of constant and unceasing study, but rather are the rewards of rationing your time, then utilizing that part set aside for study."
In addition to his scholastic success, Stan has entered many extra-curricular activities. He served as president of the sophomore class, as chairman of the Union publicity committee, and as scholarship chairman, chaplin, and recording secretary of Sigma Nu fraternity.
He was recently selected as a member of Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternities, as vice-president of the American Society of Chemical Engineers, and as a justice in the Student Court.

She's Not Looking For Publicity Oh No! Just A Husband
Call K.U. 251 With Your News.
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Marilyn Maxwell, of the shiny blonde hairdo and the bachelor-girl existence, started out today on a 10,000-mile tour to find herself a man.
Many a lonely movie cutie has wailed before about the male-shortage in Hollywood. But La Maxwell's the first one to do anything about it.
There aren't any gents left, she says, that aren't either (1) married, (2) party boys, or (3) confirmed bachelors. And she wants no part of those.
"I don't think I'm such a bad bargain" the beauteous Miss Maxwell went on. "I can cook, I can clean house, I can sing and dance, and if a man likes the outdoor life, well—I'll go outdoors with him."
"My equipment's passable. And I don't have more than my share of heads."
heads.
But she's waded through the field of Hollywood wolves and they leave her cold. Now, she's on the prowl.
Technically, explains Miss Maxwell, this tour of one-night stands in small towns is a personal appearance deal to plug her latest picture, "Champion." But as far as she's concerned it's a non-stop "man derby."
derpy.
"When I look out aerosse those footlights," she leers, "there'll be a glam in my eye, a song on my lips, a skillet in my bag—and a ball-and-chain in my dressroom."
She doesn't, she reports, care much what this man looks like.
He has to be honest, too. She says you can't believe a thing these polished Hollywood males murmur in your ear.
"But he has to be a MAN," she says. "With a sense of humor and a strong character, I'll know him when I see him."
She's taking along a band and a hairdresser for chaperones, but let a likely-looking prospect show up she grins, and she'll be available faster than he can ask for her autograph.
"They say it lots of different ways—and I've heard 'em all. It's still the same old baloney. Nobody takes a blond seriously. They're supposed to be easy to date and easy to get rid of. Well, watch it, Boys! Max-well's on the prowl."
"There's a song I sing," she said,
"that tells it all: 'A Good Man Now-
adays Is Hard To Find.' Whoever
wrote that knew the score'"
No use kidding herself, "manhuntin'," Miss Maxwell declared. She wants to get married and raise kids and she will keep going till she finds a gent who'll help her do it.
