Those Angel Flight Gals March Like West Pointers
Students attending the Homecoming Follies last year saw a group of young women students in immaculate white uniforms performing precision drills. They knew they were watching the Angel Flight Drill Team. But few knew little more than that about the organization which entertained them.
Angel Flight is sponsored by the Air Force ROTC. It was organized at KU in the spring semester of 1953 by Col. Thomas B. Summers, then AFROTC commanding officer. Nearly 60 women attended the first trout and 22 were selected.
From 60 or more women attending the tryouts every fall, 27 to 30 are chosen.
Proposed events for Angel Flight this year include the American Royal and an intermission of a KU football and basketball game.
The team may make a television film and an appearance at Mardi Gras. It will appear in ROTC department reviews and KU parades.
Flight leader will be Zoanne Mariner. Toeka, senior.
Members attend practice drills once a week for two hours. Extra rehearsals are held before each performance. The team is completely operated by the members themselves, but two AFROTC cadet officers act as drill instructors. These cadets have nothing to do with actual performances.
The team's uniforms consist of a white dress, hat, shoes and gloves, and a blue scarf. On the left shoulder is the official Kansas University AFROTC seal. Gold braid is worn over the left shoulder. They are purchased by the AFROTC and each member has her own uniform.

Another Use For Pennies?
CHICAGO, — (UP) — A bus driver has been waging a one-man campaign to rid the country of those World War II copperless white pennies issued in 1943. He labels the pennies a "bus fare cheater's delight" because a few sly individuals attempt to pass them as dimes. He has collected 29,000 of the coins and plans to exchange them for "good money."

During Antarctica's summer, microscopic forms of sea life coat the underside of bay and ocean ice in a dark-brown layer like peanut butter. This plankton layer soaks up the heat of sunlight filtering through from above, melting the ice faster from the bottom than on top, the National Geographic Society says.
