Hayrack Rides High On Weekend Fun List
The first day of the weekend is sunny and cool. The weather looks promising and should since there are so many events going on today and tomorrow, and even Sunday with picnics. The Lutheran Student Association will have a sunrise service and breakfast Sunday morning.
The Ku Ku's are planning a hayrack ride which will wind up at the Lawrence Country Club, where all sorts of gambling will take place. Some students should be rich if they attended the ATO party and now are trying their hand again. Other hayrack rides have been planned. Corbin hall will entertain with their annual Spring formal also tomorrow night, and couples will dance to the music of the Bachmann-Pope orchestra.
Cotton dresses must be arriving from home, for everyday more appear—even when the weather is uncertain. Students are now betting as to when the sailors will don their white uniforms.

A time-honored campus privilege—sorority house serenading has been rationed, at the University of Illinois. Responding to complaints of townspeople, the inter-fraternity council has decided on these "sacrifices":
No fraternity may serenade a total of more than five sororites in a single night. Serenading must end by 2:30 a.m. on weekends. Fraternities contemplating serenading must submit to the dean of men the number and identity of the sorority.

Women Are Engineers In Aviation Plant

Bethpage, N.Y., (INS)—Forty young women, full-fledged aviation engineering aides in a field that had no women and few men in pre-war days, today are holding down responsible positions in the Grumman Aircraft Engineering corporation.
The young women, in conditions after an intensive three of aviation engineering and a three-months' apprenticeship in the sprawling Bethpage plant where the Grumman torpedo bomber, the "Avenger," is made.
The young women, all college graduates, took over their positions after an intensive three-months' course in the principles ofviation engineering and a!
These girls now are doing drafting, lofting, stress analysis, technical writing, tabulating flight test data and statistical charting.
Blonde Janet Kelley of Elmhurst, Ill., a former dress designer does detailed drawings of aviation parts and makes flat pattern layouts from them.
"I always wanted to learn mechanical drawing in school, but the classes weren't open to girls," she said. "When I heard about this course, I jumped at the chance.
An interior decoration student in college, she's now doing stress analysis work—working out by mathematical formulas how much stress any part of a plane will stand. She eventually would like to qualify as a full-fledged engineer and is
"Engineers tell me what they want in a plane part and it's my job to work out the mathematical amount of metal each part will require and fit the pattern into one that can be made on the machines we have in the shop. It's fascinating work."
Miss Kelley and Norma Victor of Abilene, Texas, are two of the approximately 165 women who've been selected out of 6,000 applicants for the course. Miss Victor has been working in the engineering department since August.
going to college at night for that purpose.
He forces post war careers for the women engineering aides.
"The girls are working out far above anything we dared anticipate," declared W. J. Hennesy, plant director of engineering training. "Some girls are doing just as good a job as some of the young male engineering graduates we have. They work doubly hard to make up for the lack of a four year scientific background."
"If the aviation business expands in post-war days as we think it will, and the girls continue to be as capable, we'll be eager to keep them on after the war," he said.
The company plans to train 200 more women engineering aides this year. Henrietta McDowell of State college, Pa., said proudly:
"Some of the planes we've worked on are now flying, and let me tell you that's a thrill."
