New Wine for New Bottles We don't flatter ourselves with the thought that everyone reads the TRIAD, but there can be no doubt that the reader interest has grown steadily during wartime. The letters we receive in the national office from both civilians and servicemen reveal a great warmth and interest. In mulling over some of the articles in recent TRIADS we were struck by the difference in the complex from that of former years.

Like everything else, war has changed it. It has become the purpose of the TRIAD to write of things of interest to men in wartime, yet keeping in mind that times change and that few things endure as long as our basic premise and tenet-the Fraternity. It means all things to all men.

Today we are in search of new material and ideas-not the pouring of old wine into new bottles, and we have come to the conclusion that there is much that you in the Fraternity have to offer if you would not be embarrassed to put pen to paper. With that in mind, we are presenting here several ideas for articles which we would like to submit to you to develop for the TRIAD. First of all, we would li~e to have more good poetry. A poem usually can say more in a few lines than most people can say in pages. Get out that poem you tucked in the bacK of the trunk-it may be as good as you think it is. Share your best thoughts with others.

We would like to see some articles on the thoughts in some of the following subjects. Use them for a basis, but you don't need to use them for titles. The best articles on these subjects are usually confined to 250 to 300 words, but if you can say it in more or less-do so. Here are some of the subjects: The Relationship of the Fraternity to Its Servicemen in Wartime ; What Can Be Expected of the Postwar Fraternity?-Of the Returning Serviceman?-Of the Next Fraternity Generation? Things never stay at status quo . . . One all-embracing subject we've often wanted to see developed was shorts on Adventures in Fraternity . ... Make of it what you will. If you've ever read David Grayson you'd have several ideas right off.... What the College Fraternity is Today as Compared to 5 Years Ago--or 10, 20, or 50 years. It depends on your viewpoint and what you have to offer. . . .

The Place of University Clubs?-Of Fraternity Alumni Associations? What is the expected role of the alumnus to the Fraternity now? How should the alumnus-especially the civilian-re(Continued on page 77)

The Galloping Ghost Fights Again

By Lieut. H. M. Percefield, U.S.N. SALvos, that poured into the Nazi defenses on the south coast of France, by the U . S. S. Marblehead and her allied sisters, played a rythmic death dance for the aggressive paper hangers the world over.

Because of more advanced gadgets in fire control, we had replaced a sister ship in the firing line-up. This last minute shift threw us into a nightmare of work, preparing us for an important spot in this mammoth machine of destruction.

The spot, to which we were assigned, was considered hot. We would be up against good-sized, radar-controlled batteries that could shoot as straight and as far as we could. The whole area was to be destroyed, and targets ranged from 88 mm. guns to chateaus, from tanks to privies. The firing range would be 6,000 yards. Good God! At that range you not only hit a house-you picked the window it was to go through. Our pictures and charts were very complete. The control parties pored over these until they saw them in their sleep. Every house, rock and tree had to be in the minds of all of us. There would be no time to look for them after we arrived.

The control groups were actually separated by hundreds of feet, yet they worked together as well as a trained football team. We could hit our targets in daylight, darkness, through smoke, or over a hill. They rated us a 50-50 chance of getting in undetected. Not a damn thing was said about getting out. This may have been unimportant to some, but it was a current topic in my mind.

The usual false starts, ships moving in and out, shifting ports, etc., was the prelude to the big day. Again we hoped to surprise the enemy. He had had his pants down once; maybe this would be twjce. It would be a good trick if we did it. You see, we were expected.

Then we moved! Two days were allowed for the approach. We could see no way on earth of getting in without being seen. The distance was too great, but not a single snooper was encountered. The Army had the Goering Boys pinned down hard.

We went to Battle Stations at 0230 on D-Day. This, to my way of thinking, was a hell of a time to start a scrap. We stopped about 24,000 yards off shor e to await the dawn of final

T

HE

approach. Here we made last-minute plans and suggestions. If everything went right, the captain planned to close the range to 4,000 yards . . For Christ's sweet sake! At that range we could burn the supermen in our muzzle blast. · And they could throw rocks at us! My guts slid up around my neck and some bastard started pulling on the ends.

0600 and we started the final approach. The coming day spread a misty smudge of light across the still water. Not a sound came from the huge floating force. Everybody spoke in whispers, hoping against hope that we were still undetected.

Then out of the cloudless sky came the snarling screaming of Thunderbolts. Roaring motors, whistling bombs, ear-splitting explosions that turned the quiet morning into a flaming hell. As the night was driven westward by the rising sun, our target suddenly popped into being. There it lay as we knew it, not a house or tree out of place.

8, 7, 600 yards and still no visible movement on the beach. Then as we swung to our firing position, red and white streaks sprang skyward. My heart jumped out and sat on my chin.

Tracer! I braced myself for the first impact of their shells. Then the streaks burst into showers of red and white stars. I was suddenly reminded of our national anthem. "The rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air." No, our flag wasn't there yet-but it would be soon.

Over half our area was smothered in a heavy blanket of dust and smoke.

The fighter bombers were still streaking earthward to release their loads of blasting destruction. We picked a spot still visible and were ready to work. The "Ghost" had completed her swing and was lying broadside to the beach, dead in the water. Just a sitting duck. " Commence firing!" from the skipper and the guns began their murderous chant, releasing all the hate they had held in their heart since that February 4, 1942, when Jap bombs had torn her insides apart. This was her first chance to repay. This was her day.

Crash! The first salvo straddled the target. Crash! The second wiped it clean. Shift targets! Take the big radar on the hill. Smash! Up 200--

Smash! Up 100--Smash! No change!

Crash! No change! Shift targets!

Again the "Ghost" walked her flaming breath up the hillside and on the third salvo. No Change! No Change!

By now the entire area was hidden by a heavy curtain of smoke and flame. Only one small point remained visible. Use that point for aiming and spot your salvos from· there. Again the guns belched flame, and salvo after salvo went crashing into the target.

Step by step the shells were walked up and down, back and forth. 36,000 pounds of flaming hell plastered the area from backside to breakfast.

From all around us came the sullen roar of 8's and 12's, the whip lash crack of 3's and 5's, the scream of falling bombs and the weird moan of rocket guns. French, British and U. S. warships and planes were pouring it on the supermen from every angle.

Then-"Shift gun fire from the beach!" The Army was going ashore.

Through the dark hours hundreds of landing craft had moved into position.

H-Hour and they started hitting the beach.

At some points they encountered little or no resistance, at other spots -damn tough going. The landing spots had been well chosen though, and casualties were very light.

Cease firing! And we had a chance to take a look around. Off to our left, under billowing clouds of smoke, the Army poured in. To our right they were catching hell from pill boxes along the shore. One LST swung her stern around and for the next few moments we saw the best scrap of the day. Splashes, thick as rain drops, were all around our champ and right back in their teeth went his 40 mm. slugs like white hot baseballs. Suddenly no more splashes and the Army resumed their shuttle service.

They moved fast. By 0900 the enemy on the right had surrendered.

By 1200 a white flag fluttered from a tower opposite us. · But on the left, the nut was still to be cracked. Wave after wave of heavy bombers unloaded their eggs on this spot, saturating the entire area, yet the bastards were still there.

At 1800 they called all the warships over to that section and gave it a good working over. For thirty minutes, salvo after salvo of 14, 12, 8, and 6 (Continued on page 77)

VITAMINS OR GOD?

By Pauline McAmis Kirks Here is reproduced an wrticle written

by Pauline McAmis Kirks, of Henryetta, Oklahoma. It is printed through the courtesy of the Journal of the National Education Assn.

Yes, I teach school! Sure, I know about the bomber plants and shipyards, but I still teach. And I'm not trying to be dramatic when I say that I have a satisfying job. I have my finger on the pulse of the citizens of that postwar tomorrow everyone is talking so much about. Oh, I don't pretend to know how to work out all those problems that will face us, but one thing I can tell you experts-the kind of citizens you'll have to carry on those plans. They are in my schoolroom and I know them pretty well!

Take Shock Tapely .-Shock's no naturalist; he got his education while hoeing corn and chopping cotton. But he has an abiding faith in God that is good to see in the citizens of tomorrow. Shock is fifteen. He's short and dark with keen brown eyes and a mind that figures slow, but it keeps on figuring, and I delight to see how he reacts to textboo&s! Take the time we were talking about vitamins.

Now Shock has a radio, and he knows in a cursory manner about vitamins since they are taking over where the Soap Operas are leaving off -and don't misunderstand, I'm for them. But Shock did bring up a point that needs to be noted. We had been studying the seven basic foods, and I had a chart of what vitamins do for the body, what foods contain them, and how we can improve our health with them. It was a pretty good lesson I thought. Shock was one of thirteen children and his parents didn't give much thought to supplementing his diet, but he was well fed and growing, so when he held up his hand, I bade him speak, knowing he could pretty well sum up any situation.

"Miss Smith," he said politely, "do you believe in vitamins or God?" I had no ready reply. Wasn't God's sunshine everywhere? Good food gr owing in the soil? Fruit on trees?

Minerals in the earth? It was an answer to ponder, and I gave a silent benediction to Shock. I have ¡every faith in him as a citizen of tomorrow!

Then there is J ean.-J ean is sixteen and as pretty as any movie star. Her sweater is as provocative as Lana

Turner's. Her lips are perhaps too red, but to me she embodies the beauty and love that will be the core of home life in tomorrow's world. She has a knowledge of her body that would have given great-grandma the vapors, but she's intelligent and wise beyond her years about the part a happy home will play in days to come. She has learned some of this, I claim, in the schoolroom. The teachers know Jean will "make the grade." Without family life the race will perish and Jean is prepared to make her home work when the time comes.

Then there is Bill.-Yes, Bill is what you would term a delinquent.

He is a problem, but where ther e are problems the nation grows. Bill does not wish to submit to any discipline.

He admits, when caught, that he cheats, that he lies-and so what? Per-

haps I love Bill a little more because he is truthful about his shortcomings.

"Miss Smith," he says, his blue eyes cocky and his curly hair on end, "why should I study? The stuff you learn in school isn't used. What's a grade?

I can go out now and earn more than you. So where are you so smart?"

Bill will never know values and as much as the planners of tomorrow may regret having him he will be one of their more numerous citizens! I hope the planners will keep him especially in mind because he needs their help.

Then there is Jim.-Jim is dependable. Chairman of all committees, he gets things done. He gets top grades, is toastmaster at the banquets, male lead in the junior play. He is the one who will see that those postwar plans are carried out. What would the world of tomorrow do without the Jims to put their shoulders to the wheel? The postwar planners will have good use for him. I take pardonable pride in the thought that in the schoolroom I've helped produce a worthwhile

commodity for the world that is to come, a commodity with a high priority!

Then there is Jerry.-Jerry is the most lovable bundle of foolish nonsense that ever sat in a classroom.

Daring and adventuresome, he is brimming over with fun. Jerry is pure gold. He will make a good skipper for the ship of adventure that sail tomorrow! He will try anything once-and twice if the first time offers the remotest interest. So he's a natural for the planners. He will be two steps ahead of them all the way and will be there rooting when they come down the home stretch. It is Jerry's brothers who are flying the bombers now.

Jerry curses the luck that he is only fifteen-if he were only a couple of years older he would be set for some excitement. He gets wrought up about his prosaic existence, but his time will come and the postwar folks are getting a break. We of the schoolroom claim some credit for his good sportsmanship-he is the all-star athlete, an exponent of the physical education program in our schools.

Then there is Stanley.-Stanley is the dreamer, the planner, the scientist, the writer. He loves books and the historic past of his country. The planners will need him to keep a record of their triumphs in novels, textbooks, and historical papers. Stanley is balm to my heart. He reads all the books on the reference list and brings in others from his home library. These quiet, silent, studious Stanleys will make wonderful citizens, and who can say that the training they have received in the schoolroom will not make the difference?

Yes, I teach school! Sure, I know about time-and-a-half for overtime, but I prefer to spend my overtime in having a part in building the citizens of tomorrow. Postwar planners, when you make those all-important patterns for a better world, remember that Shock has faith; Jean has knowledge ; Bill will have to be accepted at the odds; ¡Jim has dependability; Jerry has humor and initiative; and Stanley can dream. There you have them, and they are gilt-edged. You had better look to your plans, planners, and make them work, for these citizens have been trained in the schoolrooms of America and they will be a discerning lot!

Acacians

the World OYer With the' ex ception of graduates in the past few years, the designation of the chapter and year of Acacians referred to in these news of alumni indicates the year in which the member was initiated into the Fraternity .

Rev. Dr. W. H. Powers Dies The Rev. Dr. William H ., Powers Cornell '27, died December 30, 1944, after a prolonged illness. He had

WILLIAM H. POWERS Cornell '27

been dean of Hendricks chapel, Syracuse Univer sity, since the chapel's erection in 1930. During that time he developed a r eligious pr ogram at Syr acuse which gr ew to embrace all faiths. Today there are chaplains rep-

resenting all of the major faiths working with students on the campus.

Brother Powers was born in Morristown, New York, May 11, 1888. He graduated from Syracuse University in 1914, and received the degree of doctor of divinity from Syracuse in 1925.

For seven years he was pastor of First Methodist Episcopal Church, Ithaca, New York, where he served as pastor for students of Cornell University, and as director of the Wesley Foundation which he organized at Cornell. At the time of his appointment to the post at Syracuse University, he was serving as superintendent of the Syracuse East District of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1933, he was elected acting president of Cazenovia Seminary, a position he held along with the Syracuse University post, and in 1934 he was invited to Ohio Wesleyan University to set up a chapel plan similar to the one he had organized at Syracuse.

He was a member of the executive committee of the New York State Council of Churches, and spent a year as honorary fellow at Yale Divinity school.

Dean Powers' philosophy is well expressed in the following words spoken when he assumed his post on the campus : "I am not here because of a conviction that students need moral and religious clamps on wayward tendencies. I am here because youth is eager to do things to help human society. I am here to do things with the young people at Syracuse University."

In keeping with this philosophy, he arranged religious programs for all faiths, groups and denominations, and was a frequent speaker at youth assemblies. For the past decade, Hendricks chapel has been the most popular extra-curricular interest on campus. There were never less than 1000 students definitely linked with his program.

He is sur vived by his wife, the former Miss Gr ace Foster; a daughter, Mrs. Paul von Haeseler; a granddaughter, Miss Elsa von Haeseler, and two brothers.

David Andrew McDonald, Nebraska '25, is a Major in the U . S. Army and stationed in charge of a hospital in Colorado. Before going into the service, he was head of the Winona Clinic in Winona, Minnesota.

*

George W. Scobie, Minnesota '36, is now employed as chief accountant for the Rochester Cooperative Dairy. This dairy is one of the largest co-operatives in the United States and supplies a large share of the supply of dried milk being sent overseas.

Killed in Plane Crash Lieutenant Colonel Philip Melvin Smith Penn State '35, was killed in a plane crash in Belgium on November 30, 1944. We have received no further details.

Brother Smith entered the service as a First Lieutenant and served in

LIEUT. COL. PHILIP M. SMITH

Penn State '35 Puerto Rico, Trinidad, and Curacao, before going overseas with the Ninth Air Force. He became an executive officer with a Thunderbolt Fighter Group.

His wife, Eleanor, and a four yearold daughter, Ronaele, survive him.

Mrs. Smith's address is 1432 Geandin Avenue, Alvemont, Pittsburgh 16, Pennsylvania.

Exhibits Rare Volumes William C. Hollands, Michigan '20, Superintendent Emeritus of printing and Binding at the University of Michigan, was honored recently when a group of rare law books which he had bound were exhibited in the Law Library. All of the volumes included in the display were of the first laws of the United States and among them were several copies of the first Territorial Laws of Michigan. Others were: an inlaid bound copy of Chief Justice Holmes' The Common Law; Jefferson's Manual printed in 1827 in Paris and printed in Spanish; four volumes of Blackstone from Daniel Webster's private library with his signature; and A History of the Treaties Between the United States and the Cherokee Nation printed by the Government Printing Office of the Cherokee Nation.

The Triad, March, 1945 Brother Hollands is known as one of the leading bookbinders in the country and has been binding books for the University libraries since 1893. His work as a binder shares importance with that of the publisher and collector, as, without a well-constructed binding, no book will endure.

In addition to his binding, he is wellknown as a collector. The libraries of the University have been enriched by many gifts from his personal collection.

Veteran of Thirty Bombing Missions First Lieutenant John C. Raymer, Jr., Washington State '43, pilot on the B-17 Flying Fortress, "Gus's Pup," has been awarded the fifth Oak Leaf Cluster to the Air Medal for "meritorious achievement." He is a veteran of more than thirty of the Eighth Air Force's large scale bombing attacks on important targets within Nazi <;;ermany.

Awarded Junior Chamber Distinguished Service Key Wayne Hopkins, Minnesota '35, because of his record for community service, was recently awarded the 1944 distinguished service key by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Rochester, Minnesota.

After he graduated from the university in 1935, he entered Boy Scout work in the Minneapolis headquarters where he was in charge of the activities in 13 counties west of Minneapolis, and later was public relations and finance director in Minneapolis. In January, 1943, he went to Rochester, as executive of Gamehaven Area, Boy Scouts of America.

Brother Hopkins has conducted Boy Scout affairs in Rochester in such an able manner that membership in the organization has increased approximately 50 per cent. In addition he has shown great ability to inspire other men to participate actively in community affairs, and has built much inter-community good will between citizens of Rochester and other communities.

the Columbia Law School and had practiced law in New York since his graduation. He is survived by his wife who lives at 384 Washington Ave., Pelham, New York.

A Correction The report that Lt. Richard F. Treece, Kansas '37, was missing in action was erroneous. However, we regret to state that Richard's younger brother, Robert, was declared missing, and word has since been received that he was killed in action.

A letter dated January 25, 1945, tells us that Lt. John E. Sigler, Cincinnati '39, is a member of the Eleventh Airborne Division that parachuted down near Manila. He had just returned from rest camp after having been in combat for thirty-one days straight.

Brother Sigler's wife is now a student at the University of Mexico.

Gordon W. Guise, Kansas '34, was promoted to the rank of Major, AUS, while serving with an anti-aircraft artillery unit somewhere in the General Pacific Area. He and Mrs. Guise live at 272 W. 7th Street, Claremont, California.

Named Vice-President

Chapter Eternal Word has just reached us of therecent death of Judge Merrill E. Otis, Missouri '37, of the United States District Court, Western District of Missouri. Idealist in his aims and realist in his work, Judge Otis' death is mourned by a large group of friends and admirers.

LIEUT. JOHN C. RAYMER Washington State '43

He is a member of the 487th Bomb Group commanded by Colonel William K. Martin of Ogden, Utah. This group is a unit of the Third Air Division, the division cited by the President for its now historic England-Africa shuttle bombing of Messerschmitt plants at Regensburg, in August, 1943.

Brother Raymer is the son of Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. John C. Raymer of 1950 Broadway, Oakland, California. He was a sophomore at Washington State when he entered the AAF in March, 1943.

Describing one of his most exciting missions John says: "It was when we returned from bombing the oil industries at Hamburg. Our brakes had been shot out by flak and we had to use a parachute trailing from the tail gunner's escape hatch to make a good land-

E. Kemper Carter, Missouri '10, lost an election bet to his wife and had to cook her breakfast for thirty days thereafter. Terming this conduct "unbecoming a member," his chapter of the Military Order of World Wars sentenced him to invite them to breakfast (cooked by him) within thirty days, using his own red and blue, points, "without any aid from the black market." Just to be sure things go off right when brother Carter goes to work cooking one hundred thirty breakfasts, the members have presented him with a chef's cap and apron.

Benjamin Gregory Smith, CoLumbia '14, died at his home in Pelham, New York, on January 16, 1945. Up to the time of his sudden death he was active both in the New York Alumni Association and in the Acacia Foundation at Columbia. He was a graduate of

Marvin L. Niehuss, Michigan '25, was recently named as one of the two Vice-Presidents appointed in the reframing of the major administrative set-up of the University of Michigan.

This reframing of the organization is in preparation for the greater burdens which will be placed on the university

The Triad, MaTch, 1945

72 with the coming of peace and its resulting problems.

Brother Niehuss, better known as "Dix," will concern himself with University Relations, assuming responsibility for the relations of the institution with other universities and with contacting gr oups. He will provide opportunities for discussion and general consideration of programs concerned with the external services and activities of the University.

David W.

Amplifications and Ad Lib Wreck of the Old '97 If the cover picture on this issue of the TRIAD was of interest to you, it may also recall the woJ"ds to that classic song of heroic death on the railroad in the early days of the iron horse. Reproduce8 below is the version of the Wreck of the Old '97 with which we are familiar .

The purpose of the booklet is to give servicemen facts about retailing and to encourage them insofar as their plans and desires may be based upon definite qualifications for the field of retailing. It also points out some of the difficulties with which all retailers must contend.

He was giving up his orders at Monroe, Virginia, Saying, "Steve you're 'way behind time.

This is not thirty-eight but old ninetyseven, You must put her into Spencer on time."

Steve Brookman said to his black greasy fireman,

Just shovel on a little more coal.

And when we cross old White Oak Mountain

You dan watch old ninety-seven roll."

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville On a line with a three mile grade.

It was on this grade that he lost his air brakes, You can tell by the jump that he made.

They were going down the grade making ninety miles an hour, When the whistle broke into a scream, He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle And scalded to death by the steam.

Now ladies, you can take fair warning, From this time ever on, Never speak harsh word to your true, loving husband, He may leave you and never return.

Booklet on Retailing for Servicemen Servicemen have been making frequent inquiries for information from various sources which will be helpful in their plans to enter the field of retailing and merchandising upon their retum to civilian life.

Because of this interest, and in an effort to help returning servicemen, the Domestic Distribution Department of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce has prepared a booklet entitled, What It Takes to Be a Retailer. This booklet covers such subjects as opportunities in the retailing field, aptitudes, capital, knowledge, selecting the location, the store building, stocks and fixtures, records, management, and business ethics.

The Sentry When the light of day has faded And the night comes drifting in, The sentry takes his charge of post To guard the sleeping men.

He looks o'er darkened bar racks And toward the distant hill ; The night is here and everywhere, The air is damp and still.

The night affords a feeling Of loved ones drawing near; And brings the soldier moments Of joy and hope and cheer.

BERNARD R. LE PoRis, Cincinnati '39

Air Corps Personnel Seize Opportunity for SpareTime Study · Officers and enlisted men at this Liberator air base in England, one of the strategic air depots in Brigadier Gener al Donald R. Goodrich's Eighth Air Force Service Command, are preparing now for a successful readjustment to the postwar world!

Technicians and mechanics, whose duties are servicing and maintaining Liberator bombers, are eagerly attending classes, during their off-duty hours, in almost every phase of education.

This schooling is made possible by the Armed Forces Institute, which supplies new, up-to-date, attractive textbooks. Classes are organized by

• • •

the base Special Service Officer, who arranges classroom facilities, and engages instructors among qualified personnel. There is no cost whatever attached to the courses.

Interest is so keen in the Educational Program that all allotted evening time is filled. Subjects taught range from Psychology to Meteorology, from Business Management to World History.

The astonishing fact to emerge from this program is the enthusiasm with which the men are seizing the opportunity to study. For the classes are not mandatory; it is simply an opportunity, and the studies must be pursued in off-duty hours. The War comes first ; the maintenance of air- · craft and the supplying of planes must be accomplished before study or classes begin.

Even though the soldier has his duty to perform first, he is using his treasured, leisure hours for study. Thus, he is doing a job now, and at the same time he is getting ready for another -when he comes home.

NIC Two-Year Expansion Rule Modified: One of the hottest fought fights at the November NIC meeting was the attempt to abolish NIC rule that fratemities may not institute new chapters in any college until two years after the war. College Fraternity Secretaries' Association at their meeting voted almost unanimously (one dissenting vote) , to urge NIC to repeal the measur e. After much debate, NIC did alter provision to allow installation of new chapters if college authorities will certify that need exists, and that manpower is ample.

Fraternity Survey Proves Better Year Than Expected Yes, the college fratemity system had a much better year during the college year of 1943-44, according to a survey made last fall by one of the interfraternity magazines. That was the almost unanimous opinion of the 34 NIC fratemity members (about 75 per cent) , who answered a questionnaire in September: of the 34 who answered, 31 said, "Yes, we had a better year," while only three said, "No." Those answering included the largest

The Triad, March, 1945 and the smallest fraternities, who have a combined total of 1,699 chapters. To Question No. 1 (How many of your chapters will operate in their own chapter houses this fall?) , the answer was 505, or about one-third of the total. To Question No. 2 (How many chapters will operate without chapter houses this fall?) the answer was 561.

Question No. 3 .(How many wartime suspended chapters have been reorganized to date?), found the total to be 85. Question No. 4 (How many chapter houses used by ASTP have been turned back?), 166. And Question No. 5 (How many chapter houses are now standing vacant?), 113.

This indicated that at least 1,151 chapters out of the peacetime total of 1,699 for the 34 fraternities were operating in some manner, or about 67 per cent, with 33 per cent temporarily dormant.

The number of men initiated last year also proved to be a surprise. In almost every case, the fraternities added a note to the effect that initiations were "way ahead of anticipation." The 34 fraternities initiated a total of 14,805, or an average per NIC fraternity of 435. Carrying this on, this would mean a total NIC fraternity initiation total of 25,240 for the 58 fraternities. Not bad for a war year, but just about one-half the peacetime average.

National fraternity income was down about 50 per cent, less than was anticipated.

"Do you," the questionnaire asked, "anticipate stepping up your national activities this fall?" Eleven said "Yes;" three replied that they had never curtailed their national service; five said the activities would remain the same; and 12 said "No." A similar question concerned the national magazine: four replied that they had never curtailed the national magazine at all; six said they expected to increase the national magazine budget; six said they expected it to remain as it had always been: two thought they would increase the magazine budget slightly; the rest indicated "No change for the time being."

An overwhelming majority expect a big postwar college enrollment and in consequence, large increases in pledge classes. To this question 28 answered.

"Yes," one was doubtful, three answered, "No." "Will your fraternity pledge and initiate postwar veterans in college on government ( G I Bill of Rights) , Scholarship," was another question. To this query 30 answered, "Yes"; two said they didn't know. In this same category came the next question: "Are

75 Y.ou expecting a postwar expansion penod for fraternities as a result of the anticipated heavy enrollment?" A total of 22 answered, "Yes," two said, "No," four said they didn't know. The final question asked was, "Is your fraternity ready and willing to increase the present number of chapters," which, of course, referred to the expected increase in enrollment, making a demand for more fraternity chapters logical. Again 22 answered, "Yes," five said, "No," and one "didn't know."

Several indicated that they would continue to expand according to their preferential lists.

Interesting conclusions may be drawn from this survey. It was evident that the larger fraternities had suffered less from the effects of war than the smaller fraternities. It was also obvious, from the replies received, that those fraternities (and in most cases they were the larger groups), which did not become panicky when war struck, and who did not curtail expenditures and services, fared much better than those who did. In every case where the fraternity did not curtail (or cut little, if any), the resulting initiations, number of chapters active, and income, was much higher.

Farm House Fraternity Admitted by NIC: The membership total of NIC has jumped from 59 to 60 by admitting Farm House (national fraternity) , to junior membership. This fraternity has eight undergraduates and eight alumni chapters, total membership of 2,500.

~~Greeks"

m Service:

Well over 300,000 academic college fraternity men are serving their country on the battlefields all over the world, according to an interfraternity magazine survey made recently.

Exactly one-half of the fraternities (29) reported that they had a total of 153,195 members in service, making an average of 5,283 per fraternity or a total of 306,390 for NIC. This does not include the thousands of sorority members in the various women's services, nor the non-NIC members, nor the professional, honorary and recognition fraternities , which would add additional hundreds of thousands.

Based upon the same average calculation, NIC fraternities would have 4,234 members killed in action; 1,102 Missing in Action, and 928 who are Prisoners of War.

Watch Your Language!

Associate .Editor Scissors and Assistant Editor Paste-Pot provide the following chuckle from Time: "Crawling back to his Canadian infantry outfit after a scouting mission in Italy, Captain Bob Chard blundered into a position held by Greek troops. A sentry challenged. Captain Chard answered in purest fraternity-house Greek: 'Delta Upsilon; Phi Kappa Psi.' The Sentry promptly opened fire and threw a grenade. Chard is recovering in a base hospital."-The Phi Gamma Delta.

Due for Overhauling: Need Toughening Up: In discussing the postwar campus conditions, a college president recently said to me, "There will be plenty of voices demanding that the colleges do not again permit their students to become soft." Undoubtedly; in the few years immediately following the war period at least, there will be considerable public pressure for the adoption of various methods for making youth physically fit, and mentally and spiritually tough and capable.

Already there is developing considerable interest in some kind of universal military training legislation. It can be expected that war veterans' organizations will vigorously support such legislation. In my opinion it can be expected that young men returning from the present war will advocate, in principle at least, some fitting or

The educational program seems due for drastic overhauling, for it is inconceivable that an impoverished and war-weary people will tolerate a philosophy of education which has made possible two world wars in one generation. If the individual is to be restored to his place in society, education must rediscover him, abandon the technique of mass production, and concentrate on the development of the individual as a responsible member of society. It must assume a large ~hare of the blame for the loose thinking of the past, and repair the damage. It must restore the recognition of the intangibles, that means the humanities, among other things. Unless the war is teaching us nothing, the liberal arts college should come into its own again and stand at the focal point of all education. The Rainbow of Delta Tau Delta.

Dear Brothers: It's been a long time since I've written.

I happened to be looking over a TRIAD tonight and it brought back lots of good memories. Cpl. George Larson and Lt. Ernie Mel ver are the only two Minnesota Acacians I hear from.

After spending two years in Texas I've finally been transferred to Florida, and I certainly like it better than Texas. I believe I'll spend all my winters here. I had to leave Dottie in Corpus Christi, and that was really rough. We've only been married four months and I miss her terribly. She is a control tower operator in the Waves, so she can't tag along with me as we would like. She has a swell job though, and as I expect to leave the country in a few months, I guess it is better that she has something to keep her occupied. When I think of her, I know that I am a very lucky guy.

We're flying PBM's here, and I hope to be sent out as Patrol Plane Commander of one, which should be a good deal.

I understand that the Minnesota Chapter hasn't done too badly during the war.

I am still planning on going back to school after the war is over, but this time it may be California. Dottie's pretty well sold on that fabulous land, and, frankly , it sounds good to me.

That's all for now.

Bill William A . Allen Minnesota '41

Somewhere in France Dear Brothers: France is quite a place, and we have had the opportunity to visit Marseilles, Lyons and Dijon. We have seen a lot of war damage, most of which has been to buildings and railroads. I have seen many French children who look like they have never had a square meal. The country is very picturesque and interesting despite the ravages of war.

I can't tell you what we're doing, but we see lightning in the sky at night and hear thunder most of the time, but it's not the kind that brings rain. We have had several inches of snow though. Right at the moment we are housed in a building and are quite comfortable. The food is good enough and plentiful, and we have

plenty of warm clothing so we are really not suffering at all. ¡ At this time while I have the money and nothing to spend it on over here, I would like to start paying on my house note. We are provided with cigarettes, candy, and chewing gum daily, and there is nothing over here that I want to buy.

Please send me the information about this so I can start doing this at once.

Best wishes to you all.

Fraternally, Jack John W. Plattner Northwestern '44

Dear Brothers: I am slowly catching up with my belated correspondence. It seems as though interruptions always occur every time I settle down to write.

Being in France has opened my eyes to the havoc a war can bring to a country, not only to the rich resources of the land, but, what is even worse, to the stability of the people as well. If Americans back home could only see this condition in actual form, it would make a very deep impression on them. It is something which can hardly be put into words.

On the number-one hit parade over here is mail. You would think that the war was at an end when it comes in. The fellows relax, smile, and laugh with a true geniality. And while we are on the subject of mail, don't use this APO number for it is not my permanent one.

Fraternally, Dave David L. Johnson Cornell '38 France Dear Brothers: I know I haven't written for a long time but the Army keeps me pretty busy. I finally left North Africa last September after having spent a year and a half there.

During that time I saw Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Tunis, Bizerte, Oran, Casablanca, and many smaller places in between. I had many pleasant experiences there, but I was still glad to leave and come to France. We arrived in southern France shortly after the invasion there, and ev-

erything has been pretty quiet in the section where I am ever since. The people are very friendly here and I have enjoyed a lot of French hospitality. The French girls are very pretty, and it makes one more than a little lonesome for America. I've been overseas almost two years now, and I'm pretty tired of it all.

I notice that many of the Nebraska Acacians who are in service are not listed in the directory. I have written to Hubert Mann and he should be able to give you additions and changes. Lloyd Dworak, the last Acacia pledge we had at Nebraska, was killed in the crash of his Navy plane in Florida, about January 6. I believe this was our first Nebraska casualty. Buzz Dalton is overseas in the Philippines, and Dave Cramer is in Italy.

Weather here hasn't been too bad. We have had only a couple of snows all winter, but quite a few rains. France is really one muddy country when it rains.

We are &urely hoping that summer will wind things up over here, and that we can get home some time this year.

I am hoping to go back to college when this war is over, if I am still young enough to -think. I've been considering the Business Administration and Journalism colleges at Northwestern.

Best wishes to you all.

Dear Brothers: The October issue of the TRIAD finally caught up with me, and one of the earlier issues is. on its way from my last ship. However, no matter when I get theiP, I read them just as eagerly as yesterday's news from home.

I was kept pretty busy on the tin can I called home for half of 1944. We moved around the Central and North Pacific areas so rapidly from Hawaii to the Marshalls, the Aleutians and back, that air mail had a time keeping up with us, and my TRIAD'S didn't have much chance.

Now that I am back in Uncle Sugar for a time, they are beginning to arrive.

I learned from a quick visit to Berkeley that the chapter is plugging to emerge from the war years bigger and better than ever. I'd like to see it represented in the TRIAD by more personal letters from the California gang, especially from the fellows who plan to go back to school. Most of them left in '42 and '43, and those of us who left then too would like to hear about where they are and where they've been.

As for myself, I'm on the gravy train in Miami until my new ship, the U.S.S. Gwinnett, is commissioned. I didn't write to relate any experiences in the war zone, but to tell how good the TRIAD looks.

Good luck to any of you this reaches, and so long till we meet again.

Fraternally, Shelton Shelton Downey CaliforniaJ '43

The Triad, March, 1945 Dear Brothers: It surely is good to read the news of the various groups as well as individuals in the TRIAD. You'll be interested to know that Bob Sakers, a lieutenant in the Infantry, Franklin '38, is now home on leave. He was wounded in Normandy.

Bill MacFarland, Franklin '39, according to what I have heard through a roundabout source, is now flying a B-25. Frank Thoumsin, Franklin '39, is north of me somewhere now (in France).

I had a chance to see a bit of Nancy the other night. I was out on business so couldn't take too much time for sightseeing. . . . Just a passing glance. It looks much like the towm; of moderate size back home. (Perhaps I've been over here too long.)

Winter has really set in and the snow is quite high-too high to be beautiful just now.

Best wishes to you all.

Fraternally, Mark Mark B. Wunder Franklin '39 Dear Brothers: Since I have a little time it occurred to me that it was high time I got off a letter. I am now in the Philippines. We left New Guinea about the first of December and went to the Netherlands East Indies where we stayed for about a month and a half and got in a little combat experience. Then we came here but I haven't seen or done any actual fighting myself for I am in the Artillery Hq. and don't get up in the front lines.

Being in the Philippines surely beats New Guinea even though we have a pretty fair scrap on our hands right now. It is mighty nice to be back in a country where you see people, roads, towns and farms. These Filipinos are swell, friendly as can be and very helpful to the Army in all ways. You can certainly tell they were glad to see the Japs on their way out.

Personally I'm getting along O.K. and don't even have a whole lot of discomfort to put up with. In the NEI we had quite a few air raids, but here we haven't been bombed at all.

I am always mighty glad when the Purple Pyramid and the TRIAD arrive, and the Wildcat Acacian is good too. It is fine to be able to keep in touch with the fraternity through them. Hope to see all of you before too long.

Well, if we get one-half of one per cent replies to this we'll be lucky, but we'll be interested in what you have to say. So will others. We'd also like to hear of any ideas you may have for the TRIAD. What sections do you like the best? What about the cover selections?

Without burning too much midnight oil, we are still getting the TRIAD out four times a year. Sometimes it seems like the Mountain laboring for a Mouse, but out it comes, just the same. The new dates of publication, due to the accelerated college programs, are November, January, March, and June.

There is no summer issue. Can you send in something for the June issue?

inch shells plowed into this skunks' nest. The "Old Ghost" was having herself a time. Guns grew red hot; paint started flaking off the barrels, yet the tempo of her fire did not change. It was Boogie W oogie music for a paper hanger's death dance.

For three days we were on call to support our land forces. Each night we left the firing area and each night we fought off the enemy bombers.

You cannot escape the result of your thoughts, but can endure and learn, can accept and be glad. You will realize the vision (not ¡ the idle wish), of your heart, be it base or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for you will always gravitate towards that which you, secretly, most love.

-'Doings m the Chapters California A number of events have highlighted life at the California Chapter during the winter semester. A pledge dance was held on February 2, 1945, at the Claremont Hotel, at which over thirty couplespledges and actives-danced to the rhythm of Russ Morgan. Many of you can picture this beautiful setting in the Berkeley Hills overlooking San Francisco Bay. Earlier in the evening the pledges were treated to a roast turkey dinner served at the Chapter House. David Harper Sibbett, attorney from the United States Federal Trade Commission, and member of the original chapter at Ann Arbor, Michigan, was master of ceremonies.

Led by George MacDonald, captain of the Acacia football team, we won the Civilian Intermural Football League championship early in February. Those playing for Acacia were George MacDonald, Dick DeForrest, Martin Ryan, Glen Swann, Edward Bauer, Dennis Hallowell, Harry Frazier, and Cliff Lee. Six pledges were initiated on March 11.

They were Dick DeForrest, Glen Swann, Martin Ryan, Harry Frazier, Robert Howard, and Roscoe B. Tippett. Of special interest was the making of Roscoe Tippett an honorary member of the California Chapter, since he has been acting as Financial Adviser to the chapter for the past three years. ¡ Our present officers are: Dennis Hallowell, Venerable Dean; John Mackenzie, Senior Dean; Edward Bauer, Junior Dean; Hal Granquist, Secretary; and David Fredrickson, House Manager.

Steven Kirch of the Cincinnati Chapter is now stationed at Treasure Island. We are happy to say that he visits us on occasions, and we were glad to have him here during the initiation on March 11.

Lt. Shelton Downey, who is now on sea duty, dropped in for a few hours in February. John Bell has been staying at the house for the last two months awaiting orders. Ensign Donald Goodwin was married in February to Dorothy June Byers.

The wedding took place in Gilroy, California.

We hope to have more news for you in the next issue.

Indiana Well, another three months have passed, which means that TRIAD time is here again. The Indiana Acacians have really had a full social calendar. Initiation was held on January 19. Those initiated were

Cliff Jones, Homer Dalbey, Jerry Kersh, Gene Johnson, Frank Teats, and Jim Braun. The next item on the schedule was a series of exchange dinners. We have had five of these with the Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Alpha Omicron Pi sororities. We have also had a tea dance with the Pi Phi's.

March 2 saw the starting of Yellow Dog. The new curs are Carl Christman, Les Beisel, Jack Middleton, Bob Boone, Tom Scholl, and Don Goins. It really was a lot of fun.

The manpower shortage hasn't been too hard on us. We have pledged two menMax Springer and George Boyle.

Spring fever has hit the house already.

Phil Jackson has put his pin on Ruth Landis, Alpha Omicron Pi. Good luck, Phil.

Now for future plans. A rush party has been planned for April 6. Sure hope it doesn't rain.

We have a few itemS of news from some of the fellows. Charles E. Coats, '39, is helping his father operate a cold storage locker plant in his home town, Lynn, Indiana.

Harold Keith Wilson, '40, was in Italy for several months, but has now been transferred to France.

Russell W. Goebel is a first lieutenant fn the Dental Corps.

James A. Myers, '40, was awarded a medal for distinguished service in the Air Corps.

Quentin 0. Shockley, '41, and Bernard C. Thompson, Jr., '36, are with Allison's Motors in Indianapolis.

Joshua William Lytle, '34, is a captain in the Dental Corps.

Jack F. Turner, '40, writes: "I spent some very soggy and dull times in New Guinea-too much time to be exact. However, about the middle of September things picked up a bit when we made a landing in the Dutch East Indies. Since then things have been in a state of semiexcitement. Being in the anti-aircraft artillery, we find our busy time is after dark.

It's perturbing to have to crawl into a hole in the middle of the night. We are right on a beach under a nice coconut grove-just like the pictures. When we first landed we had all the bananas and more coconuts than we could eat. Nothing like a full stomach to keep up the old morale."

Neal A. Webster, S 1/ c (RM), '43, expected to be stationed on a 220-foot Landing Ship Medium.

Herbert Charles Kennedy, '42, is a telephone lineman in communications work in the Infantry. He writes that he has been in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

Branson 0. Smith, 41, is at the front with Patton's Army and is undoubtedly seeing plenty of action.

Mark H. Rudolph, '42, wrote us from England, but we hear that he is pr obably in Luxembourg now. He said: "Last w eek I had my first pass since being confined in England. I dug way down to the bottom of my duffle bag for my clean O.D.'s, saved for just such an occasion.

Imagine my dismay to find them a nice mossy green from mold. But that didn't daunt my spirits, and off I went with a full pocket and a happy heart. On the return trip the heart was still happy, but, alas, what an empty pocket.''

John K . Summerville, '42, was somewhere in Holland when we last heard.

John D. Redman, '42, is doing chemical work in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He says it is a little place, but there are big things going on there.

John R. Montgomery, '43, is in embalming school, and is working at Flanner & Buchanan Mortuary, Indianapolis.

We hear that Don F. Crooke, '42, is on Leyte Island.

That's all for now. Best wishes to you all.

Michigan Greetings from the Mother ChapterFor the past two semesters the Michigan Chapter has been active in every respect except pledging. It seems that the influx of Naval trainees has practically ceased, and civilian students are "history" except for the freshman who rarely stay on campus more than two terms. Our policy of scholarship plus personality has not been changed, and independent men with those characteristics are few and far between on this campus.

Four of our members left us at the close of the winter term, all due to the calls of the Army and Navy. Wilmer Pierson, Venerable Dean for the winter term, and company commander in the N.R.O.T.C. unit on campus, graduated in mechanical engineering and received his ensign's commission on February 23, 1945. He is assigned to destroyer duty on the ¡West Coast. Jack Kelso, Junior Dean and Editor-in-Chief of the Michigan Technic, and active in many other organizations on campus, was drafted into the Army and is now in Texas. Rich Hall, one of our younger members, has dropped out of school and is awaiting his call to the Army. One of our unexpected fatalities occurred wh~n Ward Opdyke was transferred from the V-12 program to Great Lakes.

Our membership at present is six actives and no pledges. In June there will be three of our members graduating. Bob Bald, our present V.D. and also president of the A.S.C.E. and active in many other

80 finals next week, and, at the same time, trying to recover from a month of varied activities, including a hell week, election of officers, and our first formal dinnerdance since 1941.

Last week, March 5, Bob Wilcoxon, sophomore dent, replaced Bill Peterson as Venerable Dean. Other officers chosen were Karl Doeringsfeld, Senior Dean; Bert Wing, Junior Dean; Dwight "Cherry" Chernausek, Treasurer; and John Sandefur, Secretary. Installation of officers was held at a short meeting on March 12.

The week before, on February 24, the chapter honored four new actives and a new pledge at the annual winter dinnerdance which, this year, was a formal affair at the Curtis Hotel. The new actives were Jack Fox, John Smith, John Sandefur and AI Olson. The pledge was Paul Miller, veteran, and freshman in prebusiness. The initiation of the four fellows, held on February 18, climaxed one of the most successful Hell Weeks in the past two years. Art Davis, Arts freshman, was initiated at a special ceremony on February 12 because he had received his call to the Air Corps and would not be here for the regular initiation period.

On February 23, John Dablow was graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, and he received his ensign's commission that same evening. Since his pledging in the fall of 1942, John has always shown an intense interest in his fraternity and has contributed much to our chapter. He has been Senior Dean, active in campus affairs, and has always been one of the most popular Acacians on campus. His loss is a serious one, but we hope, along with Johnny, that he may resume his schooling after the war.

Campus elections now loom on the April horizon; we hope to get again one of the fellows as Daily Business Manager and Editor of Ski-U-Mah, campus magazine. However, with accelerated pregrams and the immediate appearance of finals, thoughts remain, for the greatest part, on the disliked, but tolerated books.

During the past month, many alums have dropped in and told us that "the house still looks the same." First of the visitors was Ensign Don B. Johnson, '43, who has commanded an LST boat in the European theater. After a short stay at the house, he went to Duluth and then to Norfolk, Virginia, where he married Miss Lorraine Thompson of Duluth.

Lt. Bill Pohtilla dropped by with his financee, Elaine Olson, for a few minutes.

Bill has been in the Pacific area. Among the other visiting alumni were Cpl. George Larson, '41; Seaman 2/ c Ted Anderson; Gunnery Sgt. Irv. Anderson, who has been stationed at Randolph Field, TexPHILIP MURGATROYD LINSCOTT. as. Seaman 2/ c Junior Hammett was at the house while on leave from Great Lakes. He has now been transferred to Farragut, Idaho, where he is studying to be a pharmacist's mate. Second LieutenMinnesota ant Frank Phelan of the Northwestern Chapter was over one day last week.

At the moment, we fellows at MinneMore wedding bells promised to be sota Acacia are grinding away at some- heard when Bob Carlson, '44, gave a ring what neglected texts in prepar ation for to Barb Scobie, ADPi, the night of our

organiza tions on campus, will get his degree in civil engineering. Don Aldrich, present secretary-treasurer, will graduate in electrical engineering, and our "master mind," Stu Wunch, will receive his degree in aeronautical engineering. Stu has just r eceived word that he has received a scholar ship which will help him ¡ to continue his studies. I will be leaving Michigan in June also, but not of my own will, since the Navy is trying to make an officer out of me. I expect to be sent to Cornell for "middy" school, and probably will never hear of my major, Aero Structures. This next term we are planning a very active rushing campaign and we feel that we will be able to obtain from four to six pledges so that the Mother Chapter may remain active next semester.

Because the University is using our house as a girl's dorm, our headquarters changed rapidly during the winter term.

From the Sig Ep House at 733 South State Street we moved to the ATO-Theta Delt House at 700 South State Street. Now we are in a rooming-house at 338 East Jefferson Street.

Even though the girls have taken over our house, we are still pretty active there. It is not an uncommon sight to see Stu Wunch and Paul Pospisil and their gals playing bridge in the former "dark room." And then Saturday night r olls around and Phil Linscott (a plug for the company) and Ward Opdyke drop around to pick up Lucy and Pat. Walter "Curley" Kuyawski has not gotten around to finding the light of his life at the Acacia House yet, but any day. (Of course, our liking for the House couldn't be its nearness to the famed Arboretum. No?) A few of the major social activities of the past term were the IFC Ball of December 16, 1944, with Fletcher Henderson; the Ship's Ball of January 19, 1945, with Bobby Sherwood; and more recently, the V-Ball (which replaces the Senior Dance and the J -Hop) with Hal Mcintyre. The .ffaternity was well represented at all of these functions, as well as at the few parties at the Pretzel Bell.

On February 2 the actives and local alumni held a dinner meeting at the Michigan League. Included in the discussion was the present status of the chapter, and also some very important "post-war" plans for an addition to our chapter house, and other changes that should be made.

It was suggested that an active campaign be organized to pay off the mortgage on our house and to tide it through the war. The alumni are being contacted for support, and it has been decided that any alum contributing $1,000 will have a room in the chapter house named in his honor.

(Alums take note!)

The Triad, March, 1945 winter formal . As his pin had gone "the way of all flesh," some of the brothers had anticipated this move. Bob now works for Brown and Bigelow Advertising Company of St. P.aul.

As I have said, the chapter is simultaneously trying to combat finals and a premature case of spring fever. Everyone is looking forward to next quarter when we shall hold our Iron Cross banquet and our annual canoe trip up the St. Croix. At last word, this party was being planned for May 26.

Northwestern With the Northwestern chapter roll rather short at this point, most of our news concerns the wanderings of our recent alumni who have found the time to visit the survivors of the chapter. With the aid of these former members of the chapter, our gang is carrying on with the usual spirit despite the minor handicaps of the various rationing and curfew laws.

Part of our success has been due to the cooperation of Jack Erwin who, in moments of ¡weakness, is prevailed upon to allow the chapter to use his apartment for social functions. One such party occurred early in March and was further aided by the appearance of Bob Webster, stationed at Navy Pier, and by Frank Phalen, who stopped for a couple hours enroute to his Minnesota home. Frank had acquired two of the most polished bars we've ever seen and he sure looks swell in his Signal Corps uniform.

The following week end brother Phalen again appeared for an evening with the gang. This time Ensign Freddie Bruce of the Navy Air Corps called to know if we could use a couple of cars for the evening; we could (and did) . A big gang departed for the Panther Room early enough for a gay party before the twelve o'clock curfew.

A postcard received from Jack Plattner on the Western Front in Germany showed him in full battle dress but displaying his usual friendly grin. Jack is probably our youngest brother in a combat zone since he is not yet nineteen. A letter from Johnny Southworth discloses that he is in an artillery unit on the Philippines and having quite a rugged time. Ed Brockman also sent a picture of himself on the northern end of the German border. Not much has been heard of our many Navy representatives except Wayne Holtzman, who was around Evanston for several days while his ship was undergoing repairs.

Not much to report from the old chapter house except that Bill Ross and Bill Brown are seeing to it that the place isn't torn down while they're around. Bill Brown was given the works and the jeweled triangle in a ceremony held in the chapter room during spring vacationthe first initiation held there in two years.

Ross will finally graduate in June (he

The Triad, March, 1945 thinks) and is trying to find some useful occupation till he can come back for graduate work and help in that big reunion that we're gonna have.

81 and, who knows, perhaps it will be finished by the time you return. You'll be proud of the place, more than ever.

Letters haven't exactly been pouring in by the bagful, so sit down and drop us a line when you get a chance. Then we can have a little more information to pass along to the fellas. And remember: whether it's the Army, Navy, Marine or Air Corps, we're in it!

NED WILL.

Hi, Yanks! Here we are all set to sit and chat with you for a few minutes about what's happening here 'n' there with the fellows-and they are scattered everywhere too. "Berry," Lt. Robert Beerbower, is somewhere in Italy. His new address is listed in the directory. If you happen to be there, look him up, or drop him a line if you get a chance. It's a long way from home. I received a large envelope the other day which said on the outside it was from "Woody," and when I got into the contents it was an invitation to the graduation exercises of the U. S. Naval Reserve Midshipman's School at Notre Dame. It seems that on March 8 Woody became an ensign.

We're pretty tickled about the whole thing. Woody sent along a little card proudly printing out Howard Omar Willis, Jr., Ensign. On the back of it he said that he hoped to be home sometime in March, so perhaps we'll get to see him then. Another letter I received recently was from "Lefty" Davis, who is somewhere in the Philippines. He says that except for dust and an abundance of hot weather, he guesses it could be worse.

He writes. "The natives, or whatever you prefer to call them, are strictly sharp to deal with, as a lot of the guys can attest. We have a lot of pet monkeys, parrots, game roosters, etc., in the area, and for the dough involved you could buy one side of the Ohio State University stadium. They all live in the stilted grass-thatched huts of gradeschool memories, and there is a profusion of water buffalo loose just like cattle at home; though in all fairness, I should say that there is nothing homey about them."

Then he goes on to comment on the way things are for him there, and winds up expressing his deep sorrow at the death of John "Bud" Quinn, who died in Germany a short while ago. Perhaps you didn't know about that. Bud had flown over Germany, was captured, held prisoner for a while, and was finally killed.

It's hard to believe that another of our brave little group is gone.

Activities on the OSU campus are in full swing, and as this is the short quarter we have all had to work just a little harder than usual. As a result, everyone is pretty well tired out. Wings and Will are planning to graduate in the spring, if the University is willing, and both are going to student teach this spring quarter. The poor kids! Spring is just around the corner here in Columbus, and you guys will no doubt remember how the campus looks . in spring. It's just the same as always, and will be when you get back. The Senior class is planning a lovely memorial flagpole at the entrance to the University,

Purdue At the beginning of the present term our chapter had twenty-two members, a drop of about fourteen. Our loss was somewhat of a blow since P . T. Homsher was one of the boys to graduate. George Palmer also received the most coveted diploma. Henry "Mousy" Wright, Ed Widener, Harold Berry, and AI Haynes have all withdrawn from school to enter the armed forces.

During the past term three men were initiated, all special initiations. Ted Shaw, now an Air Cadet; Sam Fox, sailor at Sampson, New York ; and Tred Harrison, also a sailor, were the three initiated.

This semester, in fact, as I am writing this, ~'Hell Week" is in progress. We will initiate Tom Somers, Fort Wayne; Bob McHenry, Anderson; Bill Roll, Indianapolis; and Mac Skinner, Gary.

Our interfraternity sports ended with a bang. We upset several-twenty, in fact -fraternities in winning the indoor track meet. "Mousy" Wright and "Doc" Price won the 440 and 880 respectively, and each took third in the reverse order. We also went to the play-offs in basketball, led by player-manager, Herb Hackett. Our disadvantage was height, averaging only 5' 7". We failed to gain the third straight participation trophy by two points, being defeated by S.A.E. We weren't too happy, but think we did fairly well considering the manpower shortage.

The pins, like men, come and go, but the latter happened more often last term.

In fact, we lost seven pins, and . several other fellows are threatening. The ones who have drifted out their pins are Joe Judge, Paul Homsher, Ralph Grey, Dick Shumaker, Dick Smoker, George Palmer, and Navy-bound Sam Fox. Two other men not only pinned their girls but also married them. The two who took the fatal plunge were Bob Wynkoop and Dick Mason. Both married schoolgirl sweethearts. Bob is still in school and is an active member in the chapter since he lives only three blocks from the house. Dick is awaiting his Army call.

The new ratio here is 1.45 to 1, so our social life has improved. We have had trade dances with Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Xi Delta, and Stratton House. The Stratton House affair cost us a pin which belonged formP.rly to Sam Fox. John Kice, our social chairman, was very proud of himself in master-minding this date.

We have several new men in the honoraries. "Doc" Price and Debris sports editor, Herb Hackett, are new members of Gimlet. Our new Skull and Crescent representative is Bill Roll. Dick Smoker made the Ag Honorary, Ceres. Pi Tau Sigma selected Dick Shumaker. Last, and very far from least, is one-again Paul Homsher. This time Paul added some truly tough ones. They are Iron Key, Sigma Delta Chi, and the national Who's Who on the Cam pu ses of American Colleges.

The officers last term were: V.D., Wayne Price; Senior Dean, Harold Berry; Secretary, Ed Widener; Treasurer, Joe Judge; and Correspondent, Bill E. Timothy . This term, because of army calls, two changes have occurred. Dick Shumaker has replaced Ed Widener as secretary, and Herb Hackett is our new senior dean. This is the last copy to be written

by Timothy since he is on call. Dick Smoker is the pledgemaster and house manager. Bill Timothy had the honor of being chosen keeper of the rolls for his neophyte class. He was also elected sentinel.

With sorrow we are looking for new cooks. Miss Parish who has been here for thirty years, has decided she needs a change, and Mrs. Reagen feels she should open her home for her returning son. I think they have established quite a record and deserve a great deal of praise-right, fellows?

Paul Homsher graduated February 24 and is now working in Columbus, Ohio.

Incidentally, his pin girl, Pat Olson, also works for Curtiss-Wright in Columbus.

During his stay on campus Paul acquired every key of importance-in fact, he has twelve of them.

BILL E. TIMOTHY.

¡Washington State It has been a long, long time since any word from Washington State Acacians has found its way into the pages of the TRIAD. This unhappy little situation may be attributed to Uncle Sam-in his own persuasive manner he charmed away every last brother of us and fixed it so that the Washington State Chapter has become scattered all over this world since we last put out the cat at 1607 Ruby, Pullman. Practically everywhere, that is, except at Pullman.

Although several other fraternities on the w.s.c. campus are active this year, Acacia is definitely not one of them.

Good for us, but not so good for the chapter, we were an unusually healthy lot of brothers, and so when the fall semester of 1943 rolled around we were cleaned out cold. Of those who did not graduate, all are now in service, and the only person left at Pullman is our adviser, Professor C. D. Jacobs. Six of our seven faculty members have also quit the Cougar campus, permanently or for the duration.

Ensign Leroy Holcomb is Thomas Herbert Jenkins, '35-many an assistant beachmaster in the South Pa- months ago-was that he was in the Army cific and has participated in several of Transport Service. A letter to Ephrata

The Triad, March, 1945 should be forwarded. Arthur K. Warner, '35, is still at Grandview in the post office.

He spends his spare time helping run the picture show his wife owns, and in flying the airplane he owns. He says "Brother George," '43, is with the 8th Air Force in England flying a B -24 bomber. He doesn't write often, seems to like his work in spite of the hell of war, but gets homesick once in a while. Have you heard from Glen R. Hufnail, '36, since he came back from Belgium where he was shot down nearly a year ago? He was mighty lucky and had many interesting experiences.

Bob DeVoe adds that Huffy was "driving a Fort" and that all bailed out and were cared for by the Belgians till liberated.

He is back with the Air Corps in Florida, · I believe.

George B. Carlsen, '35 (our first V.D.) , 4009 N. 39th, Tacoma, Washington, is en· joying his second year teaching Industrial Arts and Mathematics at McCarver Junior High. Twelve hours a week with the Coast Guard Reserve and work as athletic instructor at the Tacoma Boys' Club help keep him busy. Bernard, nearly four, and Russell, going on two, are prospective Acacians. Bernie lived in the house one summer three years ago, just to see if he liked it. Kenneth Short, '35, is still in Spokane. Don Faulkner saw him recently. Grant DeVoe, '35, 908 College Avenue, Walla Walla, is beginning his seventh year with the Farm Security Administration of the U .S .D .A. and is on his fourth year as a loyal Walla W allan. He says the Army breathes down the back of his neck once in a while. He has an active son of three years and says that Charles Gronewalt's, '35, son, Gary, must now be over two-three more prospective pledges. Chuck teaches SmithHughes work at Goldendale. Ernest Frey, '35, 2207 Hanford, Seattle, is teaching.

Dick (Richard M.) Boyd, '35, Box 718, Cocoli, Canal Zone, is reported as using his language training in directing construction work. We ought to have a round-robin letter from him. George F. Fenton, 40, was still getting mail at Box 443, Canal Zone, when last heard from, and was planning to return to WSC some day-no recent word.

Bernard G . Ricketts, '35, is now at 668 Avenue K ., Boulder City, Nevada.

I hope we have something from other charter members next time. Keep the addresses and we'll try to keep up with changes. Dr. Robert L . Picken, Jr., '36, 325 Arballo Drive, Park Merced, San Francisco, California, hadn't been heard from for a long time till he paid up his building fund nearly a year ago. He used to see Bob May, Fred Campbell, '36, and Ma Barker, our cook, all of whom worked at Boeing's. Bob gives his brother's address as John W. Picken, 19095496, APO #396, c / o Postmaster, New York. Dallen Jones and others will recall John as a pledge. Neal Thornton, another one-time Tonasket pledge, makes his home in Tonasket. He has a wife and a small boy.

William K. Griffin, '36, Capt. C .E ., 0 -342245, CEORP ASFTC, Fort Leonard Wood, Misouri, served a long hitch in Alaska where Colonel Foote (formerly

The Triad, March, 1945 President of the Gauge & Gavel Holding Company) was his conup.anding officer.

Bill was hospitalized for a while, but was recently on limited duty, and expected to be moved again. Charles C. Johnson, '36, APO #7, c/o Postmaster, San Francisco, California, has . been in the Pacific for a long time. DeVoe says he'll have to wear two uniforms to carry all of his ribbons and stars. He survived Attu, Kwajelein, and Leyte in good shape. DeVoe also reports that Norman Haas, '38, Completed his quota of missions over Europe and was home last summer. At last report he was in the Middle West somewhere in the Air Transport Command-third-hand information. I should have his address soon. Address him at Grandview till then.

Dave Hall, '36, was in line for a foremanship at Boeing's when last in Pullman -so long ago that he may be president by now. Bob Dietz Anderson, '36, 51 East Superior, Chicago 11, Illinois, sent a Christmas card-no news. Doctor Dallen H. Jones, '37, 614 Post Office Building, Portland, Oregon, is still with the Bureau of Animal Husbandry. He says: "Oh, yes, I went Scottish Rite this past year and became a Shriner." First Lieutenant Robert C. DeVoe, '38, APO #957, c/ o Postmaster, San Francisco, California, spent twenty-eight months with the infantry in the Pacific at a stretch including a year and a half on Christmas and Palmyra Islands, and some time in command of the Island of Lanai in the Hawaiian groupa welcome change from the equator. After thirty days last summer-long enough to come back and marry Marcia Frisbee of Monterey, California-he returned to Hawaii. He says now that he and the War Department have agreed that his immediate future is confidential. He now has three full years of Pacific service, so maybe he and General Marshall will eventually agree that he should come home for a while.

First Lieutenant James N. Shepard, '38, Wagar Apts., 129 N. Fairfax, Alexandria, Virginia, is back at Fort Belvoir after doing construction work in Alaska. At Kodiak he also shot web-footed quail, and had something to say about the Kodiak bear he expected to get, though I have seen no hide as yet.

Whenever any of you change your address, will you send me a card? If you forget my address just say "Jacobs, WSC." If you want an address, write and I'll try to get it for you.

I don't know how many of you are receiving the Evergreen, but I am sending a list of all those who are in the service for whom I have addresses, and -they will get the Evergreen as some of you already do. Here on the campus, we have, of course, largely a girls' school, but the number of men seems to be increasing.

This week there is a little revival of the old-time college spirit since the basketball team has only to defeat Idaho this weekend to tie for first place in the Northern Division. With the soldiers gone from the campus, there are now no girls in fraternity houses. Pine Manor is full of boys and about half a dozen fraternities rate

83 themselves as active-that is they have a few men around the house but do not serve meals. TKE has recently built up to about sixteen men in the house with Professor and Mrs. Dummeier living there. Have any of you missed the news that he has been married for a few months? Some of the inactive groups are making no definite plans at present, and our strong inter-fraternity alumni group has taken no action and made no recommendations. Groups such as ours with no 4-F's left to activate a new chapter can't do very much until some of our men return, or until we get help from the alumni in pledging and initiating. During the last war and early postwar period, there was some rather indiscriminate pledging by some of the groups. We wish to avoid this.

Kreizinger, Veldhuis, and Ingersoll are now gone. Dean Drucker is retiring and expects to spend much of his time away from Pullman. F . E. Balmer has never been active and is gone a good deal, and my own time is limited. The job of getting pledges belongs to the active chapter ordinarily. We can take care of finances for as long as is likely to be necessary, even though we have no income. Our cash balance at present is $1,268.00. After paying our yearly taxes of about $167.00 (it used to be about $210.00), we will still have $1,100.00 in cash. We have furnished coal for Mr. and Mrs. Otis Fortner, nonAcacians, who are taking care of the house and whom some of you know. This year we will have about enough coal to carry us for next year. When the chapter became inactive in 1943, we owed on the house $8,287.76. The holding company and the active chapter had good cash balances

and we immediately paid off $1,787.76 t o take care of all principal payments to October, 1945, and the bank agreed that we need make no more principal payments on our contract. Since then, however, we have reduced the debt to $4,000.00 and we have no other debts. Part of this was possible because of those who paid their building fund pledges in full.

We will for the duration accept $85.00 in full payment of anyone's $100.00 pledge, even though his insurance has accumulated a large dividend. This offer was made because many were anxious to secure a release of the assignments on their insur ance policy and to clear up all debts. .I think this is good business for both them and us, if they are able to pay now.

Lester Liebel, '40, sent in the additional $15.00 to start a fund for a memorial plaque, and he asked that we let all the boys know about this discount since he believes most of them would like to pay up.

Plans are being made to take care of a possible 5,000 students before the end of the next two years. The new president has made a great hit, and if the legislature is kind with the appropriations we may expect a good many developments as soon as the war is over. A good many changes are actually under way now, but new buildings will have to wait until peace comes. We have approximately twice as many veterans on the campus this semester as last, a total of over 60, I think. A good many of them are under the habilitation program, and a good many others are already planning to enter next year.

The total college enrollment is up materially above that of a year ago. c. D. JACOBS.
