(continued from page one) think that women should be regimented."
K. U. MEN---remarked, "My sister is an Air-WAC, so of course I think it's a fine thing."
"I don't think much of the WACs, and I don't advise women to join." was the opinion of James Watson, AST.
There was a "pro" side to the question, but most of the favorable answers received contained some sort of qualifying clause.
Denton Grotjan, V-12, for example, answered, "I think it's all right (for women to join), but I don't think women are feminine enough in this kind of work. I think it's a sacrifice on the girl's part."
Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Blocker, Sarah Mayner, Monroe Talferro, Kenneth Howe, Bob Pringle, Don Jackson and Bill Gayle.

The juniors are Henry G. Moon, Wichita; Clinton C. Sloan, Missoula, Mont.; Robert F. Maurer, St. Louis, Mo.; Lee F. Miller, Boise, Ida.; and Willard C. Hargiss, Kansas City.
"It's all right to join," said Victor Guthrie, AST, "but I wouldn't want to be one, if I were a girl. They haven't got such a hot reputation."
Edward Dumelle, AST, said, 'I don't want my girl in the armed services because when I get leave, I want her to be home there, waiting for me! That's the only thing I could possibly have against them—otherwise, I think that they're working hard and doing a good job."
A few of the men questioned, however, gave their unqualified approval of the women's branches.
"Why, the very reason that I joined the ASTP was for the WAC, more or less," said Edward Alba, AST. "They say that every 10th man coming into the ASTP releases a WAC for active service. I felt it my patriotic duty, because after all, the WACs are doing a lot of good."
Walter Ackerman, ASTP said,
"Personally, the WAC seems like a pretty good deal to me. I can't understand why more girls don't join. If I were a girl, I'd be one of the first to answer the call."
Ralph May, senior in Education.
The Red Cross surgical dressing unit is located in the Junior High School building, on the corner of Ninth and Kentucky streets.
The marriage of Cathine E. Gibson to Aviation Cadet Carl E. Johnson, both of Chanute, took place Saturday night at the Presbyterian church in Chanute.
Gibson-Johnson Marriage Announced
Although University women have co-operated with the Red Cross, there is still need for more help, according to Mrs. Hovey Hanna, chairman of the surgical dressing unit. She said that the time when there is lack of help to wrap bandages was from 9:30 to 4:30, and during the noon hour, on Tuesday and Thursday.
Co-eds to Entertain Service Men Again
Cadet Johnson, a former student in the School of Fine Arts, enlisted in the summer of 1942. He is now receiving his basic training at the Coffeville air field.
Music will be furnished by the public address system. The dance is being sponsored by the Union building activities committee. All University women are invited to help entertain the men.
Another Union conteen dance will be held Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 in the Union Lounge of the Union building. All service men and civilians, with activity tickets will be admitted free.
Paul Adams, V-12, likewise answered, "I'm for it! If women are going to share in the political, economic and professional side of our life, they are duty-bound to accept the military too, the same as men. We may hear about the lowering of morals of women in the service, but I am inclined to doubt that a uniform would change any normal mature person that much."
"I think women should join," declared William Comstock, AST
James Wray, AST, said, "I think that women should have rights equal in all matters to those men have; and, therefore, if they can take a little responsibility along with the men at a time when the nation reeds them, that is another step toward more complete equality for all."
