IWA Organizes To Raise
Status Of Independents
To improve the social and
scholastic status of independent
•women, the Independent Wom
en’s Organization was establish
ed by a group of coeds in the
Spring of 1941. Mrs. Neva M.
Morris, Grange dormitory hostess,
and Arthur R. Warnock, dean of
men, were chosen as advisors to
the group.
Activities sponsored by this
group during the last three years
have demonstrated that the found
ers and their successors have done
everything to make iWA a suc
cess, Nhw despite the war or per
haps because of it, the present
members rather than- curtailing
their activities are trying to fea
ture more functions to unite the
student body.
Among its many innovations,
TWA lists its dutch treat dance's,
to which stags adri couples are
admitted, and the dating bureau,
first organized by them in 1941.
At present several IWA members'
are running the bureau which
works in cooperation with the
Service Genter. The “Carnival Op
en House” which welcomed the
first Air Corps Contingent sta
tioned at the College was ■ spon
sored by IWA. This group also
Mica’s special insulating qualities are mighty important ih
communications equipment. No equivalent exists, so war’s
huge demands caused a critical shortage.
jji Bell Telephone Laboratories’ scientists were assigned the
task of somehow finding more mica. They found it—in the
very considerable amounts of raw mica which visual inspec
tion had rejected. By developing electrical apparatus to test
the two most important electrical properties, they increased
the usable amount of mica by half and so stretched current
supplies of mica to fill all military needs.
In many such ways the Bell System is serving the nation,
constantly meeting the needs of our fighting forces for
dependable communications. a

Scholarship Fund. From this fund

All independent women' on

inactive members of IWA. To be
rated as an active member, a
coed must attend four consecu

dormitory elects one council rep

SAVING AMERICA TIME AND EFFORT
To dbvblop and USE ways and means fpr saving time and effort £j| •;
is a typical American trait. You see it among your classmates, and
you exhibit the same shrewdness 'when you "send youi: packages, .v£i ;
laundry and baggage, home and return, by Railway Express. The
pick-up and delivery at your door, and the quick forwarding by fast
trains, or by superspeed Air Express planes, is a shipping service
unique in American life. It has saved time and effort for generations
of college students. ■ ,
These nation-wide facilities are now being utilized to their utmdst
by the government, industry and the public. You can help Railway ajW
Express to carry its share of this war-time load by doing three simple
things: Wrap your packages- securelyr-ad: . J&v • S't
dress them clearly—express them early. "A •
shipment started right is half-way thefe.”
