Miss McKenzie attended the University last year. She was a member of Gamma Phi Beta.
Neale attended the University of Missouri prior to his enlistment in the navy.
WAC OFFICIALS---
(continued from page one) WACs would be given the opportunity to interview the recruiting officers and also to take the mental examination.
"University women," Corp. Avery said, "would probably be interested to know that after a five-weeks' basic training, Air WACs are eligible to apply for Officers Candidate School." He said women with college backgrounds make up a high proportion of WAC officers, and former college students who have acquired leadership qualities on the campus make 'good material for Officers Candidate School.'
Corp. Avery also stated that if the person does not wish to take or can not qualify for Officers Candidate School, she is sent from Ft. Des Moines, where she takes basic training, to some special school for further training, or is sent directly for training on a job. At Army Air Force training stations and air bases Air WACs direct plane traffic, maintain flight logs and weather records, repair precision instruments and airplane electrical circuits, handle photographic film, and plot maps. They serve as laboratory technicians, test plane radios and synchronize propellers. Some of them are Link Trainer operators, teaching pilots to fly by instrument.
Air WACs take training to become tower operators, telegraph operators, radio operators, and maintenance workers, he explained. They may go on foreign duty and some are now serving in England, Africa and Italy.

First Mixer Held By WEC in Union
Approximately 300 University women attended the first of a series of mixers sponsored by the Women's Executive Council, Margaret Schell, chairman of the mixer, announced today. The mixer was held from 3 to 5 yesterday afternoon in the Union building.
"I think it was very much a success," commented Miss Schell. "It was more informal than the WSGA mixers of former years and gave the girls an opportunity to meet and know other girls on the campus."
This first mixer was sponsored by five organized houses, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Jolliffe hall, Delta Sigma Theta, and Alpha Omicron Pi.
The program, which began at 4 p.m., included Betty Jo Every and Elizabeth Smith, vocalists; and Yvonne Alston, pianist. The mixers will be given every third Wednesday afternoon of the month in the Union building with different groups sponsoring the entertainment. All University women are invited, Miss Schell announced.
The authorized strength of the U.S. corps of cadets at West Point is 2,496.

The Student Statewide Activities Commission met yesterday and planned for the year's program. This organization is composed of student representatives, one from each Kansas county, selected for their ability as leaders.
The purpose of the organization is to spread good will and knowledge of the University of Kansas in the "home towns," Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, explained. Mr. Ellsworth conducted the meeting in the absence of Patsy Piller, chairman of the county club.
If you want to be sure the flannel shirt you get is the finest quality, look for the McGregor label. It's your guarantee that your shirt has been cut for action and will give you warmth, satisfaction, and long service.
