Seniors Interviewed By WAAC Lieutenant
Interviews were given today to senior women interested in the WAAC by Lt. Dorothy McCandlish of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Stressing the fact that the opportunity for women to serve has never been greater, Lt. Dorothy McCandlish of the WAAC told senior women of basic training, army life,
"Never before have women had such an opportunity to serve their country. When the call came, men of the University of Kansas answered by the hundreds, and now the women of the University of Kansas are being called upon to serve with the armed forces. The need for trained women in very great.
tasks of a WAAC, and how to make application for enlistment into this branch of the service, yesterday.
"It is a woman's duty to serve her country. It is a privilege to devote her efforts toward victory, but more than that it is a great honor to be a member of the Woman's Army Xuxiliary Corps, because it means a woman is devoted to her country, is mentally and physically fit, and of high moral character," Lt. McCandlish said.
Lt. McCandlish is from the headquarters of the Kansas Recruiting district in Kansas City, Kansas. She was attended by Auxiliary Lela Hobbs, who drives her car, assists in giving tests, and interviewing.

Trip To The City
After all the kissing and singing at the sorority house, you are finally pinned. But you're not let off as easy as that. There is the celebration trip to the city, for which you rake up all the gas ration coupons you can find, borrow a car, or if you're lucky, fill up your own car.
Reservations, food—good steaks, and the inevitable champagne, at $8 a quart, make $20, a minimum amount. Twenty dollars added to the $23.50 totals $43.50, according to simple arithmetic, but not to your bank account. Keep in mind, too, that if you take another couple with you, you must add just that much more to the expense.
Besides all this, the jeweler had charged you 75 cents to chain the two pins, and your pin cost you $25 in the first place.
Jeweler Has His Price
Spring is a wonderful time of year, and people do silly things in the spring; so, if you're contemplating being a Romeo in the customary style, get out your adding machine and check book, and give her your pin.

Navy, Students Combine Talent On 'Happy Hour'
Kuersteiner Created . . .
"Happy Hour," the sailors' recreation program, that holds forth once a week in Hoch auditorium or Frank Strong auditorium is one of the University's or Lawrence's contribution to the sailors' recreation time.
Man behind the programs is violin and orchestra in the School steiner arranges the programs, rounds up the talent, and acts as general handy man for the Navy and performers during the programs.
Ed Ulley, before he left for the army, gave the sailors enjoyable moments with his piano antics. And there's Billy Sears with his electric batons definitely a fixture on the program.
Man behind the programs is Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra in the School of Fine Arts. Professor Kuersteiner the programs.$ ^{ \textcircled{4}}$
A few weeks ago Professor Kuersteiner, after a confab with Naval officials, took over the task of giving the sailors entertainment, using University talent and whenever possible working into the programs Navy talent.
The programs feature the band, orchestra, baton twirling, singing, and acting if anyone volunteers his services.
Betty Cohagan is another of the navy's favorites and her treatment Friday night of some popular songs was a big hit.
The sailors really go for Dorothy Mae Nelson and her treatment of popular songs. Dorothy Mae has had many return engagements on the Happy Hour programs and as one sailor put it, "She reminds me of Lucy."
Sears Twirls for Sailors
Russell L. Wiley and his band are highlights of the evening as far as the sailors are concerned too. The Pringle twins and their vocal numbers are hits also.
The sailors have turned up with some excellent talent. Harry Ianco brought the audience to a hushed silence Friday night with his baritone interpretation of "When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World" and then finished amid roaring approvals.
John Ryan used his Irish brogue to sing "Johnny Dobboy."
And there are many others who have added their bit to the programs: so the whole thing can be summed up in the sailors' lingo- Happy Hour. A helluva good deal!

Five thousand miles from home Bill — Torpedoman — is keeping a date. Weeks of waiting, days of watching, hours of hiding under the sea, all for the moment when he reports over his wartime telephone, "All tubes ready, sir!" There'll be other dates, Bill—better ones—in the kind of world you're fighting for.
