7 Coe Girls Qualify for NAR Seven members of the Coe Girls' Rifle Team have qualified for the National Rifle Association in the women's field, Professor Wiese, team instructor, announced recently. "Several of the girls have even measured up to the men's rifle standards," Wiese said. "They have progressed rapidly in the past two months. Any college in the country having a women's rifle team will be a target for the girls' rifle team." Local industrial teams are also on the agenda this year and a possible intramural shoot will be scheduled if the men's organizations agree to the plan. All non-local matches will be postal.

The ROTC rifle team has given the girls assistance in learn- ing the basic principles of firing a rifle and has also supplied them with some equipment. Last year's match with the ROTC rifle team was lost. "Our main concern at present is to acquaint the girls with the proper methods of handling the equipment and we put special emphasis on learning the safety rules. Anyone violating these rules will be banished from the team," Wiese said. "This has not been necessary yet and we don't expect any special difficulties." Members of the team are: Mary Dewey, Deerfield, 111.

Ann Tea, Downers Grove, 111. Nancy Pagel, Wauwatosa, Wis. Virginia Mawdsley, Palo, Iowa Carol DePressles, Cedar Rapids; Wilda Williams, Villa Park, 111., and Nancy Howe, Chicago, 111..
