Floating Hospitals American servicemen wounded in the European theatre will be returning home at the fastest possible rate within the next three months, with Army hospital ships transporting a large percentage of them, the office of War Information said recently in a report on the Army and Navy programs for bringing ' the wounded home by sea. Twenty Army hospital ships are now operating in the Atlantic, and 18 of these will be busy plying back and forth between the . home base at the Charleston, S. C. Port of Embarkation, and several European ports. The size of the ships ranges from that of the Milne, which can carry nearly 1,000 patients per trip, and the Clem and the Hinds, each of which has a capacity of less than 300 patients. Both the Clem and the Hinds will remain in shuttle service in Europe for the time being. In addition to these 20 ships, there are 13 others transporting the wounded in various parts of the world. These include two Army hospital ships operating out of Los Angeles ; three Navy hospital ships operated for the Army in the Pacific, and eight Navy hospital ships, all busy in the Pacific theatres. Several Army ships now operating in the Atlantic will soon be transferred to the Pacific. Four more Army hospital ships are to be commissioned before mid-summer, and three more Navy hospital ships are to be put into operation in the next few weeks. It is anticipated that all will be assigned to service in the Pacific. The new Navy hospital ships, including three which were recently commissioned, are air-conditioned throughout. Medical officials state that the air-conditioning not only provides greater comfort for servicemen, but that the incidence of fungi infections, prickly h eat and other ills typical of the tropics will be minimized. The ships are provided mith the latest medical equipment such as is found in standard shore hospitals. The nurse and doctor staffs are supplemented by a large group of enlisted medical personnel. The mechanical operation of the Army ships is in the hands of merchant seamen, but enlisted Navy personnel is used on the Navy vessels. The medical complements on the Navy ships operated for the Army is furnished by the Army Medical Corps to the Army Transportation Corps. (Continued on page 124)

The Triad, June, 1945

Between one and three million servicemen are dreaming of a little business of their own--with lots of nice, big profits. Unless they do something more substantial than dream, the life expectancy of their businesses will about equal a second lieutenant's. Reprinted from Co!!ier's by Specia! Permi.â€˘sion

ERGEANT BILL JONES is a man with a dream. This dream is a kind of daylight affair, and Bill has been working at it frequently during the last ten of the thirty-odd months he's sweated out in his corner of the war. Comes the peace, Sergeant Jones would like to have a business of his own. Bill has never been in business before and knows somewhat less than Henry Kaiser about operating one. But from where he sits, it looks good. He's read articles about postwar opportunities in everything from plastic soup to nylon nuts, and anyway, it's the only solution he's been able to dig up for the problem of how he, several years and thousands of adventures older, can find his way again in a world he left as a youngster. Certainly it would be disheartening to return to the stock clerk's job he had ~hen he went into service at the age of twentytwo. Like 75 per cent of his fellow soldiers (figures by U. S. Employment Service), Bill doesn't want his old job back. What he would really like is to get his hands on some of the big money he read about while in camp and overseas. Bill Jones dreams for 11 to 20 per cent of the men in the armed forces; which means that one to three million servicemen hope to take up their option on a government-guaranteed loan Âˇ and invest it in business of their own. Not all of them are aiming for the big money. Many are figuring on the secur ity angle. But government placement consultants recently have spotted a big-money attitude among the servicemen who already have returned to civilian life, and they consider it a major trend. All of which adds up to a number of disappointed ex-Sergeant Bill Joneses after the war. Some will be disappointed because they won't be able to

show enough business exper:ience and a sound enough plan to get even the initial loan. From experience with men already discharged, banking authorities are now saying that the benefits of the G .I. Bill of Rights have been overadvertised, and veterans are expecting more than they are going to get. Edward S. Rooney, president of the First Trust Company of Albany, N . Y., recently warned fellow bankers that they must tell the veteran frankly that he is getting "absolutely nothing free except a part of the first year's interest, and that if he borrows money, it must be paid back." Furthermore, those veterans who do get started will learn that operating a small enterprise in these days of highpressure competition is a rocky venture that requires skill and working capital-nothing at all like the pleasant vision Bill had that dirty day in F rance As far as the big money goes-it isn't there. Sergeant Bill J ones with a cocked carbine may be a terror. Plain Bill Jones, with $4,000 of borrowed cash on his hip and more hope than knowledge of modern business techniques, will be a lamb looking for lettuce in the slaughter pen. Know the Facts o f Business Life Not that Bill hasn't got a chance and won't get help. The war that ended Bill's job has also killed off many enterprises and made room for new businesses-if they are adequately financed and operated by men alert to new developments. Encouragement of small businesses as a keystone of American enterprise has become an Administration policy. Also, a small businessman sometimes has advantages over his larger competitors. But he must know how to exploit such assets as flexibility of operation, and his close contact with Mrs. John .Consumer. Bill had better be . more informed on the facts of business life, and more willing to make use of available training and business education, than recent surveys indicate most servicemen are. For the information of Bill and his family, the facts are these: In normal years a majority of businesses capital-

ized at less than $10,000, returned no more than $2,000 to $3,000 a year net profit, which may be a living but certainly is not "big money." Furthermore, most of the failures are made by firms in the under-$10,000 class. The $5,000 stake with which most servicemen have said they expect to start is even more risky. In the retail fields, where half the business-minded servicemen are pinning their hopes, 61 per cent of the total failures in 1940, and 67 per cent in 1941, were firms financed at less than $5,000. The war has further concentrated business iQ the hands of big firms. D uring the two years after Pearl Harbor, over a million businesses closed their doors, while only half as many new ventures took their places. However you look at it, small businesses have been dying off like an unprotected column of Nazis in front of a Browning machine gun. Before Bill Jones went off to combat, he learned to be a successful fighter from dead men. He learned from their sacrificeÂˇs what he had to do to win his part of the war and come out alive. Now he can learn from business casualties how to survive in postwar business life. Experts say the majority of small business failures were caused by the following ailments, or combinations of them: !-Insufficient capital. 2-Failure to adjust to new trends. 3-Failure to keep abreast of more efficient business methods. Quincy Adams, head of the Department of Commerce's Division of Small Business, offers these reasons: "Poor location. Overbuying. Competition." The fatal mistake of most small businessmen, says Mr. Adams, was "their tendency to regard an intention, a few hundred dollars or a vacant store as an opportunity." Thus sufficient capital must be Bill's first concern. Contrary to the impression of many servicemen, the government doesn't lend them $4,000 to go into business. What the G .I. Bill does is make it easier for a veteran to borrow the money from a bank, by guaranteeing 50 per cent of the loan up to $2,000. If the veteran borrows $4,000, the government will guarantee the re-

The Triad, June, 1945 payment of $2,000 of it. If the veteran can borrow $6,000, the government will still guarantee only $2,000. If the loan is for $3,000, Uncle Sam will underwrite $1,500. The loan may not bear interest of more than 4 per cent, and is payable in full in 20 years-quite favorable terms. Also the government pays the interest on the guaranteed portion of the loan for the first yearonly. But here is a point that most of the boys do not realize at all: The loan is not theirs by virtue of having served more than 90 days after September 16, 1940, and having kept their noses clean enough to get an honorable discharge. First, Bill Jones must satisfy the banker that his路 plan is sound, his choice of location and selection of merchandise lines potentially successful, and that he knows enough about the business to operate it efficiently. Then to get the government's guarantee, Bill will have to show one of two reporting agencies, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation or the Smaller War Plants Corporation, that the property he wants to buy is reasonably necessary for the operation of the business, that its purchase price is in line with normal values, and that in general he has a fair chance of success in his venture. These conditions make it tougher to get that loan, but in the long run, they are a safety factor both for the veteran and the community at large. If Bill has a sound plan, he ~ay be able to convince the bank to come along with him for more than double the government's guarantee. Or if he's forward-looking, he may have some additional capital tucked away in the form of G.I. bonds or savings. Because not only is $4,000 a slight foundation for a business today-as proved by the statistics which show that a capital of less than $5,000 is as vulnerable as a second lieutenant-but the G.I. loan may be used only for the purchase of property, fixtures and stock. It is not designed to be working capital. Ready Money's a Big Help Working capital {or ready cash if you prefer) is what gives the big fellows an edge. They can discount their bills ahead of time, take advantage of special offers and buy in larger quantities for less money. Ready cash may also allow Sergeant Bill to take advantage of an opportunity to buy surplus war property. Government warend surpluses may amount to around 103 billion dollars, according to a recent senatorial report, but the greater part will be in items like tanks and bomb sights, which are not particularly salable by a businessman.

The importan"t classes of surplus goods that a businessman might handle include several billion dollars worth of trucks, cars and tractors, food products, unissued clothing, medical and dental supplies. Regional offices of the Treasury P rocurement Division will keep any businessman posted on sales of surplus property, or he may write direct to the main office in Washington, stating the kind of m erchandise he is interested in. A veteran might get additional capital for his v.enture through the Smaller War Plants Corporation. Maury Maverick, its chairman, looks upon veterans who want to go into business as "the principal reservoir of youthful enterprise." Assistance from the Small War Plants Corporation has no connection with the G .I. Bill of Rights or other legislation for vete1:ans. It offers four types of service: 1. Loans for ventures that have a reasonable chance of success, but which are limited by lack of capital. 2. Assistance in obtaining surplus war materials helpful to the planned venture. 3. Supplying of technical assistance. 4. New-product ideas culled from alien patents now available to American manufacturers or from the researches of the National Inventories Council. Veterans' employment counselors in local draft boards will advise on how to contact the Smaller War Plans Corporation, as will local offices of the Veterans' Administration and Veterans' Service Committees ~ow being established in 路most communities. One veteran found how helpful this aid can be. He wanted to manufacture a man's garter he had designed. The Smaller War Plants Corporation studied the item; suggested changes in the material and packaging, then helped him .to buy surplus machinery for his plant. That veteran now has his problem of a postwar career nicely wrapped up. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation is another source for additional financing. The Administration has indicated that it intends to use RFC as a major instrument fm路 underwriting small businesses. As in the case of G.I. Bill loans, the RFC int~rest rate is 4 per cent, and arrangements may be made for repayment. on a long-term basis. The other important sources ot business loans are the veterans' loan funds set up by a number of states. Under California's system, a veteran who can demonstrate that his plan is a good risk and can show experience in business can get a guarantee up to $7,500

on a loan on a business evaluated at twice the value of the loan. The applicant will have to show that he was either inducted from that state or has established residence there over a required period. A veteran might also solve the problem of additional financing by pooling his loan with other veterans. This plan will not only provide a more substantial basis for business but will assure American communities of fewer and more deeply founded businesses, w ith a consequently lower mortality rate in the decade ahead. Many servicemen have b een asking the Department of Commerce's Division of Small Business for advice on location. An i~portant consideration for a man planning a business is the normal trend of population away from the center of the big cities and out to the suburbs. Before the war, thriving business centers were developing out on the rim, while the big fellows downtown sweated to maintain their expensive locations, coaxing customers to shop in the city on the basis of a larger selection and special sales. They succeeded to an extent in bringing women in from the suburbs to buy clothes. But it's harder to bring youngsters downtown to outfit them or to bring in the entire family to select home furnishings. These types of businesses have a competitive edge in the suburbs. Must Study Community's Needs No one can give general advice on whether a man would have a better chance in a large city or a country town. That depends entirely on the particular community : its needs, how fully these needs already are met, whether the community is growing or static, and other individual factors. But let Bill be warned that in a country town he faces big-league competition. The huge mail-order houses draw heavily in the villages. While it is no final guide to location, it may be helpful to see what states boasted the healthiest business climate during the last "normal" years before we entered the war. Lowest rates of failures were found in Indiana, the Dakotas, Maryland, the Carolinas and Kentucky. But wartime shifts of population and new industrial centers may have changed this picture. The most successful small businessmen are those who are best able to handle three phases of merchandising: control of overhead expense, sales promotion to induce related or companion purchases, control of inventory (remember that "overbuying" is listed as a leading cause of failures). It would be fatal for Bill to think that 路operating

96 a business requires less training, or is in any way simpler than succeeding in the professions or skilled crafts. Modern business management has a school system and press devoted to its techniques and trends, and it draws expert advice from top-flight executives. A well-known school of engineering some time ag9 tested vocabularies of men in various positions as a measure of their intellectual capacities. Business executives were found to top all others in the fields surveyed; higher even than college professors or newspaper editors. There are a multiplicity of ways by which men already discharged, or even still in the service, can begin training for business. Soon to be available are War Department booklets on operating methods of nineteen different types of businesses. An excellent source for guided study are the adult education centers maintained by many cities. One of them, Long Beach, Calif., is doing a progressive job in this field. There the adult education center sends instructors to the Navy's hospitals at near-by Roosevelt Base to give courses to men awaiting survey for discharge. Right now 115 men at the base are taking these courses, most of them in retailing, with the major interest in haberdasheries and food stores. No one without a crystal ball can predict whether postwar business conditions will support the large number of new ventures which will be launched by Sergeant Jones and pals. Certain lines will flourish in spite of any slackening of employment, because of an acute demand for replacement goods. Of the huge sums people have been putting away dming the war-estimated at 20 billions in 1944 alone-a huge chunk is what a noted Harvard business expert calls "hot savings," money people have saved only because they can't now buy the things they want. Other signs favorable to new business are the rising population figures, pushed by the wartime bumper baby crop, the fact that folks have paid off their debts during the war; new products and technological improvements in old ones which have been created by the strains of war. Some Pointers to Opportunity Here are the standard businesses that on the basis of prewar performance and present consumer needs are the soundest possibilities for postwar activity: Home-fuTnishings businesses were leading other businesses in gains even before the war.

Amplifications and Ad Lib An Ancient Toast It was a grand day in the old time of chivalry, the wine circling around the board in a noble castle hall, and the sculptured walls rang with sentiment and song.

It will take years to reclaim the land-especially that covered with salt waterand today, as a tragic anomaly, the Dutch are being allowed as a daily food ration-two tulip bulbs.

"To one whose love for me shall last When lighter passions shall have passed, So holy 'tis, and true; To one whose love hath longer dwelt, More deeply fixed, more keenly felt, Than any pledged by you!" Each guest upstarted at the word, And laid a hand upon his sword, With fiery, flashing eye; And Stanley said, "We crave the name, Proud knight, of this most peerless dame, Whose love you count so high."

Jones Junior High" is an actual Alma Mammy choral. The Jones Junior High School song was written by Marjorie Stattler, Class of '31. The entire version is as follows:

Three Cheers for our Jones Junior High! It's the best junior high in Toledo! Our colors of blue and of gray Are the emblems of truth and faith; We'll fight for the right, not the wrong, For our school, our faculty, and classmates. Stand out! Face the world! Come on, Jones! We'll be true blue! We'll stick to you! Our school forever! In case you didn't know it, it is sung to the tune of Three Cheers For the Red, White and Blue.

Ships Bells The United States Maritime Commission announced recently that it was offering for public sale 20 thousand new, cast steel, bronze-painted, ships bells, declared surplus by the Navy. What an opportunity for disturbing fraternity somnambulance of an early morning! How well we remember that early call to breakfast as the plaintive calls of a cow bell or a similarly degrading tocsin made whatever the welkin is, ring. We usually just turned over in our slumbers and ignored breakfast- and frequently slept through that eight o'clock class in statistics, or whatever it was. Now we can see fraternity houses all over the country on campuses large and small, installing cast steel, bronzepainted, ships bells to add tone to the summons, along with a little more vigorous response ensuing. And as for those musical chimes-well, they were all right for a sorority exchange dinner with the Pi Phi's, but we never thought much of them. The brothers were usually too stunned by the dulcet tones to even move. Now is the time to install your ship's bell for . the good ship Acacia. We want action!

Another War Soon? ... In a national survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Denver on the eve of V-E Day, it was revealed that 59 per cent of Americans expected another war within fifty years and 36 per cent foresaw another war in 25 years. Of the remaining 41 percent, only 1 per cent said the terms of this .peace would determine the issue, and 20 per cent were undecided. The rest anticipated no war in the future. With apparently good reason, the people on the West Coast a~e more pessimistic than the rest of the nation . About 7 per cent of them expect another war within fifty years, expecting the Japanese to break out into a war rash again sooner than the Germans. Results of the survey also seemed to indicate that the younger the respondent the more likely he is to anticipate an earlier resumption of hostilities.

Tsk! Tsk! Mrs. Frank! Much attention was given recently to an article in the Woman's Home Companion written by Mrs. Glen Frank about the insidious natures of college fraternities and sororities. The editor of the Woman's Home Companion has given assurance that this magazine will not publish any more such ill-advised articles in the immediate future, either for or against fraternities. Literally hundreds of articles have been written in reply to Mrs. Frank's

The Triad, June, 1945 recent article, many of which have been considered by national publications but which will probably never appear in print. These letters have come from College Presidents, outstanding Administrators, Professional and Business Men as well as undergraduates. Nothing, to our minds, has ever succeeded more than Mrs. Frank's article in bringing certain fraternity groups back to life and loyalty. In recent weeks there has been a definite . favorable reaction throughout the land. Administrators of several colleges who were previously lukewarm are now among the fraternities' greatest cheerleaders. We are firmly convinced that the greatest reconnaissance in the history of fraternities is rapidly approaching.

"Unless the present situation is changed, one must conclude that man has not conquered life, but life has conquered man," Dr. Allen declared.

Sir Walter Raleigh's Virginia colony, Jamestown, now is in the group of historically significant spots maintained by a group. The upper end of Jamestown island outside the Colonial National Historic Park and National Historic Site is being preserved by the Virginia Antiquities. In the Northwest , McLaughlin House, the home of Doctor John McLaughlin, called "Father of Oregon," will perpetuate the achievement of this great figure who was a pioneer in the building of the Pacific Northwest. Another is Saint Paul's Church in New York City, an eighteenth century church most intimately associated with the milestones of early American History-making, especially to the establishment of the famed Bill of Rights. It is owned and administered by Saint Paul's Church. One of the finest Spanish missions in North America, established in 1720 at" San Jose, Texas, is the sixth in this group of national historic shrines owned by private patriotic organizations. It is considered to be an outstanding example of the frontier Spanish missions which stretched across the Southwest more than two centuries ago. It is administered by the Catholic Church and the State of Texas.

Crested Fraternity Plaques Available A new service to college fraternities was recently announced by J . Carlton Jones and Associates, Glenside, Pennsylvania, when they announced that Herald Plaques for fraternity crests were available.

Up to the first of the year Neil was on the Alsatian front, having been with the Seventh Army which chased the Jerries up the Rhone valley. Âˇ He has never been wounded although his battery has suffered heavily in the five campaigns.

Lt. Carl W. Schreiber, Cincinnati '38, was first reported missing in action in Germany, and later was reported as having been killed in action on March 25, 1945, near Cologne, Germany. The Dayton, Ohio, Daily News of March 11, carried the following article concerning Bill: "Second Lieutenant Carl W. Schreiber of Harrison, Ohio, and his platoon of armored infantry took two machine gun crews by surp~ise as they entered the city of Cologne at dawn. 'We came on them in the dark and the guard seemed to think we were a detachment come to relieve them.

Released Froni Jap Prison Major Frederick (Fritz) C. Amos, Kansas '27, is back with his family after his liberation from almost three years as a prisoner of war in the Philippines. He and 510 other captives at Cabanatuan prison camp were freed by Yank Rangers on January 30. Brother Amos writes us that Gordon Robert Myers, Wisconsin '35, was with him at Davao prison camp and was moved to Cabanatuan at the same time, but was taken out about October 15, 1944, when all able-bodied men were moved out to an unknown destination. Fritz was an architect in Kansas City, Missouri, when he was called to active service in July, 1940, as a captain in the coast artillery reserve.

LIEUT. AND MRS. CHARLES F. TAYLOR Penn State '40

Lieut. Charles F. Taylor, Penn State '40, of the U. S. Army Medical Corps, was married on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, to Miss Jeanne Klinepeter at tb.e Augsburg Lutheran Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Taylor is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Homer Klinepeter of 213 Muench Street, Harrisburg. Lieut. Taylor is a graduate of the Jefferson Medical College and served

his internship in the Lankennu Hospital, Philadelphia. Last November he was assigned to the Carlisle Army Medical School and was recently transferred to the School of Military Neuro-Psychiatry at Brentwood, Long Island, New York. Lieut. Taylor was former Venerable Dean of the Penn-State chapter. His complete address is given in the service directory.

he had charge of an engineer supply depot on Bataan, and after the retreat to Corregidor he helped install harbor defenses around "the Rock." After his capture he was sent to Cabanatuan, then to Davao, and later back to Cabanatuan as a hospital case. On September 21, 1944, hundreds of American naval planes for the first time flew above j;he prison. "Then we all knew America was on the way back. We knew it wouldn't be long," he said, "and the question then was; would they kill us before freedom came? Or, if they didn't, could we hold out against weakness many more months?" He was sitting in front of his barracks at twilight, last January 30, when shooting broke out. He hit the nearest ditch, thinking that now the Japs were launching a slaughter of the prisoners before the Americans took over. The shout of "Yanks" from men in our own uniforms who appeared from the edges of the camp was the most electrifying word he had ever heard. He terms the work of the Rangers in that raid miraculous. Having seen the power of the Japs and the extent of their penetration into the Philippines and elsewhere, he appreciates the job our soldiers and marines are doing. To quote Fritz again: "No one will

ever know how big that job is, who wasn't there. They have a long way to go, the worst fighting lies ahead, and they are glorious."

Carleton E. Rice DiesTwo Sons Acacians Carleton E. Rice, Syracuse '14, died of a heart attack in Columbus, Ohio, April 22, 1944. He served in the Navy in the first World War in an engineering capacity in the Brooklyn Navy Yards. Following the war, he was associated with the Akron, Ohio, City Planning Commission for a short time, and then went to Wooster, Ohio, as city engineer. In 1923 h!1, was appointed City Engineer of Massillon, Ohio, in which capacity he was engaged at the time of his death. Brother Rice was a member and past commander of Massillon Post No. 221 of the American Legion. He was an active Mason and was a member of the Canton, Ohio, Regional Society of Professional Engineers and Surveyors. His two sons, Ernest and Edwin, are both members of Acacia. Ernest, Ohio State '41, is in the army and was married July 14 to Miss Eleanor Louise Sayre of Mount Sterling, Ohio. His older son, Edwin, Cincinnati, '41, is a Captain in the

Publisher John B. Powell, Missou1Âˇi '08, who lost his feet three years ago from treatment in a Japanese Internment Camp, will soon walk from Harkness Pavilion Hospital to cany on his crusade to further American-Oriental understanding. "As soon as I can get about on these things," he said, pointing to his new artificial feet, he plans to return to China and the work that earned him the special attention of the Jap gendarmerie, counterpart of the Nazi Gestapo. The fiery little editor of the China Weekly Review and former correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, spent two years in a hospital bed repairing the damage of Jap brutality and neglect after being repatriated on the exchange liner Gripsholm. The Japanese clamped him into solitary confinement the morning after the Pearl Harbor attack. They long had objected to his writings, which, they said, insulted their mikado. Even as he underwent painful skin grafting operations on that portion of his feet which gangrene did not destroy, he wrote a book in line with his avowed intention to try to educate Americans in the background of the Pacific war. "The Orient is 1,000 times more important to the United States than Europe," Powell said in an interview. "It's a vastly rich, undeveloped territory which looks to the United States for assistance in building railroads, sanitation facilities, water plants, for developing medical relief and improving educational opportunities. "The Orient has the desire to develop, the money to pay, and the labor to work. American prestige there has been tremendously enhanced by the war against the Japanese." Powell said the Japanese might sue for peace after the fall of Germany"only to save what they can, to be better prepared to try again." "They should be completely defeated and broken, their military power, fleet, and heavy industries smashed, so that they never again will be in a position to endanger the peace," he said. Lt. Frank P. Sonnenberg, Cincinnati '42, of the United State Marine Corps, has shown how to get to the top the hard way. Frank enlisted as a private

After his recent furlough spent at home, he left on May 25 for Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California. Frank repor ts that he reads the TruAD r egularly and enjoys every bit of news the boys send in. He can best be reached by his Harrison, Ohio, forwarding address fo r the present. His younger brother has graduated from high school and will soon be another Acacia prospect. Lt. William Robert Morgan, Oklahoma '42, the brother of Louis S. Morgan, was married in March, 1945, to Willa June Hall, a member of the Delta Gamma Sor or ity.

Elected Rotary District Governor Hubert S . Kilby, Illinois '13, of Great Bend, Kansas, has been elected district governor of Rotary International. Brother Kilby is one of Great Bend's outstanding business men, having been president of the K ansas Power Company since 1928, and a resident of Great Bend since 1934 when the general offices of the K ansas Power were opened there. He has been associated with Rotar y since January, 1920, when he resided at Jefferson City, Missouri. He has also been a leader in other civic organizations and enterpr ises-. president of the Jefferson City Club in 1922 and 1923, and president of the Great Bend Club in 1940 and 1941. His son Jack is also a member of Acacia.

The collection of distinguished former students reflected great honor on their teacher. Included were four members of the Kansas Supreme Court; Justices Walter G. Thiele, Kansas '08, Hugo T. Wedell, J. G. Parker, and Allen B. Burch; F-ederal Judge Walter A. Huxman, former governor of Kansas; John B. Gage, mayor of Kansas City; and Charles M. Blackmar, outstanding attorney of Kansas City; State Senators John Lehman, Harry Blaker, and Elmer W. Colum.hia; assistant U. S. Attorney Eugene W. Davis. In addition to these former students such old friends as Cyrus S. Crane, widely known lawyer of Kansas City, U. S. Attorney Randolph Carpenter, and others were present. Dr. Burdick's response was full of good humor. and inspiring philosophy. Three things which he declares he will not surrender are: a desire to work and produce (he is now engaged io writing an historical novel); the love of his friends, and his University ; and the "faith of our fathers" which, he asserts, is the only hope for civilization.

Killed on Guam

Burdick ts Honored Dr. William Lives~y Burdick, Kansas '04, was feted on March 22, 1945, by his associates and for mer students, the occasion being his eighty-fifth birthday. Mor e than sixty friends gathered about him at the Hearth, in Lawrence, for the dinner given in honor of him and Mrs. Burdick. Dr. Burdick, retired professor of law, has lived just one half the lifetime of the nation, and his achievements have been many. He came to the University in 1898 as associate professor of criminal law, domestic relations, partner ships, sales, agency and bailments. Through the year s he became professor of law; served from 1916 to 1937 as vice-president of the faculties ; served as acting dean of the Law School fr om 1919-21 and 1934-35Âˇ and as dean 1935-37.

GEORGE W. REYMORE Washin gton State '43

We have only Âˇrecently received word of the death in action on August 3, 1944, of George W. Reymore, Washington State '43. He was killed on Guam and is buried in the Marine cemetery there. George graduated from high school in Kennewick, Washington, one of the high five. Before he completed his first year at Washington State he enlisted in the Marines on March 17 1943, and left for the South Pacific o~ December 1, 1943. His first combat duty was on Guam where he landed with the initial landings. During his brief per iod as a member of the frater nity- Januar y to March-he served as rushing chairmqn, a token of the boys' faith in him. George is survived by his parents,

Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Reymore, and a sister, Margaret, all of Kennewick, Washington. Arthur D . Lautzenheiser, Indiana '32, who is with the Indiana University Medical Center at Indianapolis, Indiana, announces the birth of a daught er, Ruth Ann, on Apr il 24. He and his wife also have a son now four years old. His brother, Charles, Indiana '35, is a lieutenant in the Transportation Corps located in Boston and he was able to visit him for a few days recently when he was given an assignment as escort for a train of returned veterans from Boston to Camp Atterbury, Columbus, Indiana.

Tells Caballo Island Experience Pfc. Russell J. Buster, Michigan '43, is with the 38th Division on Caballo Island. He was a member of the group of mortarmen of the i51st Infantry who brought supplies to isolated riflemen who had gone without food a~d water for 36 hours, and could not be reached by direct route because of heavy Japanese automatic fire. The relief party landed behind the Jap emplacement (later knocked out from an LCM) . A sailor aboard the landing craft shot fr om a special gun a short line, to which a heavier rope was attached, to the men atop the steep 200-foot cliff. This rope served as a hand-support in the almost straight-up climb. Packing rations and water equalling 45 pounds, Buster and others in the column reached the top where they discover ed the men to be exhausted and hungry, with their lips swollen and cracked from thirst. "We arrived apparently at the right time, for the boys appeared well wornout from their experience," Buster said, "but they pulled through all right after a bit of food and water." Brother Buster is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Buster, 321 California Street, Peoria, Illinois, and a brother of William Everett Buster, Illinois '44. He was a student at the University of Michigan when he was called into the Army in Febn,m ry, 1943.

Awarded Silver Star Sgt. Quentin C. Alcorn, Indiana '42, was recently awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action while serving with the infantry in Germany. The citation, received by his parents, reads: "When the advance of his platoon was obstructed by heavy machinegun fire from an enemy bunker, Sergeant Alcorn crawled to the bunker

The Triad, June, 1945 and entered it. Proceeding down the dark corridors, he came upon the room from which the heavy fire was being delivered. Surprised by his bold, stern, demand, the entire garrison of 12 German soldiers surrendered themselves and their machine gun. Sergeant Alcorn's daring action enabled his platoon to advance without interference from the bunker. His outstanding courage reflects great credit upon Sergeant Alcorn, and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service."

Brigadier General Crabb Heads Fifth Bomber Command Jarred Vincent Crabb, Purdue '24, is now a Brigadier General in the Army, having received that promotion in June, 1944. After his graduation in 1924 from Purdue University, B rother Crabb worked on the advertising staff of the Evansville, Indiana, Courier J ournal, In 1929, he entered March F ield as a flying cadet, and later served at various fields in the United States, and had two tours of foreign duty-Panama and Newfoundland.

103 district judge, the youngest federal judge in the country. In May, 1939, Judge Otis first â€˘entered the official family of the American Judicature Society as a Missouri director. A year later he became vicepresident, a position he held until his election to the presidency in September, 1944. In 1939 the Society had seventy-seven members in Missouri. In 1944 the number was three hundred seventy-seven. Among the several Missouri members responsible fo r that increase, Judge Otis was pre-eminent. He was also active in the American Bar Association, and in 1941 ser ved as chairman of its Section of Judicial Administration. He was professor of constitutional law and pr esident of the K ansas City School of Law, and a trustee of the University of Kansas City. The legal profession has b een enriched by the writings of this wise and kindly Missouri judge. He was the author of widely-publicized opinions dealing with constitutional issues, and handed down many pioneer decisions on various controversial questions.

Chapter Eternal

Career for Justice A brief notice of the death on D ecember 23, 1944, of Judge Merrill E. Otis, Missouri '37, appeared in the March issue of the TRIAD. Since then we have obtained biographical information regarding this distingu ish ed Acacian. Brother Otis attended the country schools of Nodaway County, and, with an ambition to go to Congress, secured a legal education at the U niversity of Missou ri. His first law office was in St. J oseph, in partnership with L ouis V. Stigall. An early photograph of the two partners shows Stigall in his shirt sleeves, collar open, and Otis with his coat buttoned up. His explanation was simple. "I had no shirt. Stigall had it." Young Otis never went to Congress, but progress in his chosen profession came swiftly. F rom assistant city counselor of St. J oseph he advanced to assistant prosecuting attorney, assistant attorney-general of Missour i, chairman of the state public service commission, assistant solicitor-general of the United States, and, on April 25, 1925, at the age of forty, by appointment of P resident Coolidge, a federal

Minnesota Celebrates Founders' Day A large number of alumni joined with the Minnesota Chapter in observing Founders' Day at a banquet held

at the Curtis Hotel, Minneapolis, on May 12, 1945. Dr. William F. Holman, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masonry in Minnesota, and one of the outstanding alumni of the chapter, was the principal speaker. He was introduced by E. B. Pierce, the general secretary of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association, also a chapter alumnus; who acted as toastmaster. Among the alumni present were: Clifford Lush, E. M. Lambert, George Borchardt, Harold Holden, Burr Buswell, George Johnston, Charles (Kinks) Johnston, Wayne Hopkins, Ray Herrmann, Gustav Bachman, Neil Rankine, Bob Carlson, and Floyd Nelson. It was announced that the following had been re-elected officers of the Association: Clifford Lush, president; Harold Holden, vice-president; Floyd Nelson, secretary, and E. M. Lambert, treasurer. Other members of the Board of Trustees are Burr Buswell, who is also the chapter adviser, George C. Borchardt, and Neil Rankine. Treasurer Lambert reported that the remaining balance of the mortgage had been paid off during the past year, and that some $1500 has since been accumulated, which is being invested in War Bonds as the beginning of a Building Fund. He paid tribute to alumni who had diligently completed payments on their house note obligations during the recent years, and he urged other alumni to continue their payments. -FLOYD E. NELSON.

Dear Brothers: Yesterday was Victory-in-Europe Day in Paris! Yesterday was a day in which everything connected with the war was entirely forgotten for the moment. Paris and the Parisians were thinking ahead-what their new freedom meant and how they could celebrate their hard-won liberty. They did celebrate victory, and they're still celebrating it today. As one Paris newspaper put it, yesterday was a day when "the world begins again." Yesterday was Victory Day! When we first heard the news on the 7th, on the day the surrender was actually signed, we weren't affected particularly one way or the other. Our work was just beginning-we could look forward without much uncertainty to at least another year over here. Then, on the morning of the 8th, as we came to work, we saw a sudden and profound change in the streets of the town-and in the people. There were greater crowds than usual around the little newspaper kios~s , reaching eagerly for the newspapers which announced in screaming black headlines-some of them with brilliant red and blue flags on the pages-"Ils ont capitule"-"La guerre est fini"which meant but one thing, of course. It was over. Suddenly, from what had once been merely a street lined with houses, that street and those houses had changed into a galaxy of color, of red, white, and blue Tricolors, Union Jacks, Stars and Stripes, and the flag of the Russians. And the people, as they read their newspapers, had smiles on their faces-elderly folks who now knew hope for peace and comparative safety and quiet even in their time; younger women who could look forward to living with their husbands again; and little children who perhaps would see their fathers and mothers together for the first time in many years. At noon I saw grade school children waving little paper flags with the Hammer and Sickle on them as they went home to their meager lunch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we heard the official announce-

ment over the BBC by Prime Minister Churchill that the war was finished, that the Germans had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. As he concluded with "God Save the King," the band played the national anthem, the Guards buglers sounded "Cease Fire," Big Ben chimed the quarter hour, and an increasing feeling of enthusiasm and real relief began to seep gradually into our minds. We went back to work with but one thought-to finish work and join the big celebration in town ourselves. So we organized a party for the evening and made plans to be among the first on th~ scene. However, to have been first on the scene would have meant arriving at least 36 hours before we did-when we finally pulled in, the celebration was already going full blast. Everywhere you looked were flags of all the United Nations displayed from every conceivable place. One was even placed on a metal statue of Marshall Foch looking out on the crowaed and excited Champs Elysses. Along the Champs and some of the larger side streets, and in the parks, the fountains were turned on-the ones in the Trocadero at the foot of the Eiffel Tower were playing for the first time in many years. Paris once again was a city of peace, not a victim of war. On down the Champs Elysses toward the Arc de Triomphe we went pushing our way through the crowd. Almost every man, woman, and child was wearing red, white, and blue on a lapel, in the hair, or in a corsage. They wore flowers too--red and pink peonies, roses, or lilies-of-the-valley. A newspaper said that Paris had adopted lilies-of-the-valley as the liberation flower, and that stocks were sold out within a matter of minutes from the time they were first put on sale. We believed it. Army vehicles were stacked up so high with people that it was impossible to see the driver at all, and the driver could hardly see where he was going. Until the streets became too thickly crowded, the trucks went up and down tooting their horns loudly,

enjoying the peace in their own fashion. Army transport planes and fighters zoomed over the treetops along the Champs and threw out brightly colored red, white, and green flares. Sidewalk cafes were crowded with people who were getting a good sta:r:t on the evening's entertainment. In one place a group of Britishers and Frenchmen had joined hands in the street and were dancing old familiar British dances. To the few of us who were familiar with those dances and had danced them in England, the temptation to join in was almost overwhelming. We managed to resist it, however, and struggled on up toward the Arc de Triomphe-the focal point for every celebration in the city. TheÂˇ sight from the Arc was magnificent. Even at nine o'clock in the evening the sun was still shining brightly, reflecting gorgeous tints from the sides of the buildings and from the flags and bunting draped everywhere. From the Arc itself were suspended five immense flags, larger than I had ever seen-large enough, I think, to cover a good-sized bungalow. They were the flags of the Big Five-China, France, . England, Russia, and the United States-waving in the breeze to the west in a glorious symphony of color. People had lined up to pass the grave of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame under the Arc ~ The grave was covered with gorgeous wreaths of flowers, red, white and blue, and a squad of French soldiers stood guard over the tomb. I noticed elderly women crossing themselves as they walked past the grave perhaps thinking of their sons who had been killed or wounded in this war, and praying that such a thing would never happen again. It was from the other side of the Arc that we thrilled, however, when we saw the sun shining full on the Stars and Stripes billowing out over us. Never had the red seemed so red, the blue so blue, and the white so pure and clean as it did at that moment! Finally, however, we tired of walking, and since we were hot and thirsty we found a lovely little place called the Ping Pong American ~ar and ordered champagne, in spite of the fact that it sold for 550 francs (about $11.00) a bottle. We sang and laughed and drank without getting drunk. Suddenly a woman in a white suit with a big red picture hat and a red scarf rushed over to our table and in perfect English said, "For God's sake, a Victory Kiss," and without more ado kissed all of us, our WAC included,

She offered ·to buy us a bottle of champagne and sat down and started talking to us. Her story was amazing. She had been born in Scotland-her name had been Lady Something-or-other-and she had married a Frenchman, a Ma.rquis. She had been in France for s1x years and had been an ambulance driver for the Red Cross (she had her identification card to prove it). Her husband had gone out to celebrate in his French fashion with his French friends and she felt very strange a~d alone. She had wanted to be Wlth someone who spoke her own language, who would laugh and joke at the same things she did. She told us many things about the German occupation of Paris, and about her life before the war. Perhaps it was all a stor_Y, perhaps she was a fake, but we hste.ne? enthralled. On such a night as this It made very little difference. . . French English, and Amencans mtermingl~d at the tables joining in ~he singing and conversation, and smiles and laughter were everywhere, b_ut at last it was time for us to leave If we were to make our train back to camp. Out into the street we went and walked back toward the Arc. · The Arc had been transformed completely with the coming of night. Brilliant and powerful searchlights ha? been focussed on it, and it was now a mass of gleaming white stone. ;r'he flags were spotlighted with a bnght purple light instead of the sun, and the resultant maroon color was almost unbelievable in its richness. White flares burned along the sides of the street, and to the sides, in front, and back of the Arc good citizens were setting off fireworks. A star shell burst above, and brilliant Roman candles sent out graceful loops of red, green, and w~ite flares. It was unbelievably beautiful. As our train pulled out of the station we saw the lighted fountains of the Trocadero shining in the distance, and there on top of Montmartre was the glistening white Sacre Coeur Cathedral lighted u.p for the first time since the war. We were tired but happy, and we felt that perhaps never again would we experience quite what we had experienced tonight-celebrating in Paris the end of the war in Europe. Fraternally yours, BILL

New Guinea Dear Brothers: Maybe you think I am the lost sheep and I feel like it sometimes. Say hello to what is left of the Acacia gang, and tell them we will be back and ready to go in a couple more years. It will be like starting anew. We have been here in New Guinea almost three months. Time has passed very quickly as I have been pretty busy. It took a couple of weeks to settle down to our permanent area and make ourselves as comfortable as possible. I spent six weeks in sch.o ol over here. Imagine trudging down a dirt road with books under your arm in New Guinea which is probably 10,000 miles from Dayton. Sounds a bit romantic from the outside, but for me it was hard work . They tried to make an E. E. out of me in that six weeks, but I don't think they had ver:'( good success. Our area is located along the ocean coral-rock shore line, but it is still accessible for swimming. We live in wooden-floored tents with electricity for lights, radios, etc. We finally got our hut screened in, so we are comparatively free from insects. In our area we have a combination basketball and volleyball court, a horseshoe court, and next door is the Ack Ack Shack (a Red Cross Unit). The Shack was built by natives and has a thatched roof and frame . Fellows in our outfit were detailed to lay the cement floor and do the finishing. It is the coolest building I have been in on the island. Nights are quite cool arid the cement holds it. The thatched roof wards off the heat of the sun, and it is right beside the ocean so it catches all the ocean breezes. There are no towns in the vicinity. The closest are the villages of the natives who like to trade with G. I.'s and usually skin us. There is generally the No. 1 man, as he is known, who has the last word in all dealings. Many of the natives have learned to speak and understand a little English, and they really know the value of a ~orin or a shilling. Best of luck to you all. Fraternally, CAL

Dear Brothers: I enjoy reading the TRIAD and the Purple Pyramid and hearing what the fellows I knew at school are doing, so I guess it is a good idea to let them know how I am getting along. Up until last June I had been stationed at Kaneohe Naval Air Station in Hawaii. I believe it was the best

possible duty outside of the United States. We had everything we could want-libraries, theaters, cafeteria, bowling alleys, athletic fields, swimming pool, etc. Of course I didn't fully appreciate all of this until I left. We boarded an Army Transport, and for two · months that ship was our home, and suffice it to say that we had to suffer a lot of inconveniences. Finally we debarked in the Marianas during the rainy season and were pretty miserable until we got our permanent camp set up. Wells were dug to give us a constant water supply, washing facilities and showers were installed, and we set up our generators and had electricity. We built a permanent galley and had hot meals and fresh bread again. Raised wooden platforms were put in our tents to get us off the damp ground, and a treater w~s built. .All this was done in the penod of th1rty days which was allowed to us to improve our camp, at the end of whic~ time we had to start work on our proJects. It is unbelievable how a jungle was converted into a neat, orderly, livable spot. That was one time I really appreciated how much work can be accomplished by a good bulldozer operator. The changes that have taken place on this island are amazing. Where there was a jungle, an evacuation hospital stands with all the modern medical equipment a first-class hos~ital in the States would contain. Where there was a rice paddy, now an asphalt mat helps speed the bombers to Tokio. Muddy jungle trails have become four-lane black-top highways. Other achievements too numerous to mention have changed this war-tor~ island into a first-rate modern base from which our Pacific forces will speed on their way to the heart of the Japanese Empire by air and by sea. We have had a small part in this huge project but the re.s ults of our work are known ' to us, and because of this we don't mind our former hardships. I sincerely hope that the War Memorial Scholarship Fund will be wholeheartedly supported by all the brothers of Acacia. Fraternally, Bos Robert c: Meynen Northwestern '41

Dear Brothers: After a great deal of air travel, I finally reached my new station here near BelE~m, Brazil. The town is located about one degree south of the Equator, and is surrounded by the Amazon jungles. This is the winter season but the temperature still stays around 70-80 night and day, and the humidity is extremely high. These Brazilian towns are very interesting. It is not uncommon to see women carrying their packages on their heads, donkeys on the narrow, cobblestone streets, and a multitude of vendors selling everything from "fish heads with rice" to tabu perfume. One old man tried to interest me in a sevenfoot boa constrictor for five dollars. He said it would keep rats away-! wondered what kind he meant. Little boys steat cigarettes from your fingers. The town has all the modern conveniences, but is very old-looking. They strive for improvement by tearing down the fronts of ancient buildings and replacing them with very extreme, modern "faces" which results in a remarkable contrast. I still can't appreciate the Brazilian beauties. The U. S. girls are much more attractive, although these natives (Concluded on page 124)

The Foot-Path to Peace To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars ; to be contented with your possessions, but not satisfied with yourself until you have made the best use of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice ; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of man-Âˇ ners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and every day of your Maker; to seek not so much to be loved. as to love, nor to seek so much to .be understood as to under-. stand; to give of yourself for human service; and to spend as much time as possible with body and spirit in Nature's great out-of-doors-these are guides to the foot-path to peace.

'Doings zn the Chapters California California Chapter of Acacia sends greetings to Acacians everywhere and hopes that any one of them who happens to be around the San Francisco Bay will drop in to see us. The chapter is under the guiding hand of Venerable Dean, Bob Lewis. Assisting him are: Martin Ryan, Senior Dean ; Dick DeForest, Junior Dean; Hal Granquist, Secretary; and Harry Frazier, House Manager. Martin Ryan, Dick DeForest, and Harry Frazier are new members, as are Glen Swan and Darrell Nelson. A fine addition to the chapter. The pledge class includes: Bob Grimshaw, George MacDonald, Bob Howard, Joe Close, Glen Lewis, and Dick Burns. As a matter of record, that seven-man football team that Brother Smith called a softball team in his last report, was squeezed out by a Navy team in the last game. No one can say that the boys didn't try. Many of the old-timers from this chapter will be interested to know that Harry Larsen was back in school last semester and fully intended to finish, but his selective service board stepped in at the critical moment and discontinued the plan. At the present time Harry is making himself useful at Lime Springs, Iowa, while waiting for his final call. Also here (for a short stay prior to overseas duty) was Major George Woolsey. The Cincinnati Chapter will "be interested to know that Joe Faust and Steve Kirch have been in and out of the house very often. They have added a good deal to the house in the way of comradeship.

his far-away fort as U. Vice Consul in La Ceiba, Honduras. Please write to Ken., fellows. He has become homesick for Cincinnati. George F . McPeck lives at Arlington, Virginia and is doing rocket research work in Washington. He hungers for Ohio meat, eggs, and vegetables. Cecil Haas, Michigan and Kansas chapters, visited the house on May 23 and attended a regular chapter meeting. The boys were glad to meet such a fine Acacian, and they surely invite him to return. The University was refused the grant of nineteen acres of Burnet Woods by the Park Board on which they wished to build the Field House and Woman's Building. The Park Board maintains more Cincinnatians are benefited by parks than by campuses. The fraternity has been preparing a pledge plan with Lon Leonard as chairman. The house is again being renovated, and it is taking on the appearance of a real housecleaning. An audit of Ashier Trust books shows that if all Cincinnati Acacians paid house notes in full, the entire mortgage would be lifted with some to spare. President Huber of Ashier Trust wishes to assure all Acacians that money paid on these notes will be used to decrease the principal sum of the mortgage, and not to meet house bills or running expenses. With this assurance, the mortgage should soon be paid in full. Let's get behind this plan boys. James Johnson sends this suggestion and believes it can be done. Far be it from Huber to send bills for such notes to men in the service. Fraternal greetings to you all. MARIAN HUBER

Cornell This seems to be a new duty for Lieutenants in Uncle Sam's Naval Supply Corps. Here I am home on leave after fighting the "battle of Honolulu" for twenty-one months, and the first thing "Big Gus" thought of was to have "Little (?) Gus" draft an issue of the "Dope Sheet." You fellows of the Cornell Chapter received the news letter sent out in April, so this will contain material of general interest to all Acacians . .I Here's some dope that will interest you men who plan to return to school when you are released from the Service. You have no doubt been wondering how the active chapters would be started up again. I have before me a letter from the National Counsellor outlining the general problems with which we will be faced, and also briefing the plan proposed to help solve them. This plan is as follows : "1. The chapter adviser, financial adviser, house corporation president, alumni president, together with all actives and interested alumni and chapter officers, will meet to organize an interim active chapter consisting of all available actives plus five to eight alumni who will resume full active status-not to exceed one year after reestablishment of the chapter.

"2. These interim active alumni are to hold office, vote, rush, pledge, initiate, make plans for the chapter, and appoint or elect officers when the chapter is reactivated. "3. They 'Will cooperate with the house corporation officers in the conservation and restoration of the chapter house, equipment and property. 路 "4. They will act as custodians of the chapter records, rolls, and rituals. "5. They shall cooperate with the treasurer of the house corporation to help solve financial problems of reactivating the chapter. "6. Interim active alumni members will not be required to pay monthly per capita dues. "7. They will be urged to attend as many meetings as possible; to guide the integration of the younger civilian members with the returned veteran members so that a united chapter life of a high standard will be possible. "8. They will assist in the planning of social functions, annual meetings, etc. "9. From time to time, they will report to the National Fraternity, and they will act as the group with which the National Council or central office can deal. "The future of Acacia is assured, but it must be assured in your chapter by planning now so we will be ready to go forward when the opportunity comes, and it may be sooner than many of us thought." There it is men. Any comment!! will be welcomed. Did you ever hear about the Ensign who requested LST duty because he thought it meant "Large, Speedy Transport?!" Two American soldiers in Egypt lived for months on dehydrated beef, dehydrated milk, dehydrated butter and vegetables. Visiting a Cairo museum they saw their first mummy. "This is going too far," exclaimed one. "Now they're de 路 hydrating women!" The memory of our beloved Brother Carl E. Ladd who has been a help and an inspiration to many Cornellians and to many Acacians, is to be perpetuated in the most suitable manner one can imagine for a great educator. The Carl E. Ladd Memorial Scholarship Fund has been initiated by the State Conference Board of Farm Organizations with a goal of $100,000 " to be contributed by those who, directly or indirectly, have felt the effect of Dean Ladd's leadership." These scholarships will be open to all classes in the four-year and two-yea; courses, and will amount to $200.00 a year. In awarding the scholarships, major consideration will be given to need, to promise for future leadership in agriculture, and to academic achievement. Checks or money 路orders should be made payable to Ladd Memorial Fund and sent to T. E. LaMont, Albion, New York. Note on the manpower situation: Miss Green-"! know he's rich, but isin't he too old to be considered eligible? " Mrs. Brown-"My dear, he's too eligible to be considered old!" Lt. John P. Woodford, CorneH '42, wrote us about one of his most thrilling escapes. He says: "I came over here in No-

vember, 1944, on a B -17 crew-we're halfway through our tour now which is thirtyfive missions. I looked for grey hairs but haven't found any that show as yet. We've had a few close ones, but we've always managed to get back here to the base. Once we were a week late returning from a raid, but that was due to the losing of three engines over Germany. We'd heard that a Ford wouldn't go very far on only one engine, but we managed to get across the lines and set down 'wheels up' in a potato patch in France. Almost too quickly I learned that my high school French was far from completed and didn't cover the subjects that I was most interested in. A few of the local gendarmes came and took us to the local jail where I pleaded 'not guilty' and waited for the Americans t o come. They did finally, and we started our trip back, stopping here and there. There wasn't much left of some of the towns-all over are the evidences of that bitter hand-to-hand fighting that we hear so much about. We got back here in time to get most of our clothes back from the boys in the hut, and 'flak them up' for the next mission." Guess that's all for this time, fellows. Let us hear from all of you soon, and be sure to send any service addresses you may have to the National Headquarters, 7001 N. Clark Street, Chicago 26, Illinois. Fraternally yours, G. F. HEUSEf, II

Illinois Corporal Robert B. Garrity, one of the younger Acacians who left school to join the armed services, is an aerial engineer on a B-24. He ' reports that before long he should have something interesting to write about. His address is Sq. T -1, Crew 127-A, MAAF, Muroc, California. Charles E. Yale, who spent the first part of his naval training in the V-12 unit at the University of Illinois, is now an air cadet, class lB-4, Barracks 8c, NAS, Norman, Oklahoma. He has finally gotten into the actual flying part of his training, and, if weather conditions permit, he will soon be ready for more advanced training at Pensacola. A word to some of you Acacians who complained of pledge life while you were in the chapter. Robert E. Kenyon, '46, 6236 Bancroft Hall, USNA, Annapolis, Md., reports that he has been transferred.from the army to the navy, is now a midshipman, and that "plebe" life at the naval academy make路s pledge life at Acacia seem like a holiday. L avern G . Hoener of the class of '46, reports that he has been sailing on merchant ships as a signal man for the past fourteen months. Usually there are about thirty navy men aboard these ships who man the guns in case of enemy action. He has made one trip to the South Pacific, one across the Atlantic, and several into the Mediterranean Sea. . Mrs. Anne Burnett Bullington, now living at Pesotum, Illinois, keeps us informed of the whereabout of her husband,

112 John T., who has changed from the Third Army to the First. He crossed the Rhine on the bridge shortly before it was destroyed. He reports the deer and German prisoners easy hunting, especially the prisoners. The Bullingtons, with son Tommy, plan to return to lllinois after the war. They should be interested in the apartments to be built by the university for returning war veterans and their families who plan to complete their college courses, or work for advanced degrees. We understand the property east of W esley Foundation has been purchased for one of the apartment building sites. Ensign Clarence M. Anderson, a member of the Armed Guard on one of our ships, has made several trips to England, and has enjoyed looking over a considerable part of that country. There are a good many steps between a Ceramic Engineer, and a "Boat Group Commander," but that is exactly where Lt. Benjamin R. Windsor, '29, fits in. He departed some time ago for the southwest Pacific after a ninety-day stay in the States. On his second trip across he landed at Ley te on October 20, when MacArthur returned. He expects to make liberty in Tokyo some of these days. Benny is now married and has one step-granddaughter. , Lt. Jack R. Brink report!!d the latter part of March that his group had been in five missions over Iwo Jima and Truk, but for some reason they were recently recalled and were now enjoying the sights on the Island of Oahu. Pvt. Jack S. Kilby has been located at Assam, India, for some time, and does not seem to be doing much to change the landscape down there. He says: "The country looks just like it did a year agoor maybe worse." Jack finds time to keep in touch with a number of Acacians who were in the house at the same time he was. Pfc. Jack R. Miller told us about the middle of March that he had been kicking around the E.T.O. for six months. In December he received the Purple Heart for a slight wound received during the "Bulge Battle." George Slezak, a company medical aid man with a rifle platoon, is now with an Infantry Regiment of the 66th Division. He sailed for Europe early in December and has been in France since Christmas Day. Major Charles H . Fletcher writes from somewhere in the Philippine Islands: "Well, I made the Philippines after 28 months in Australia seeing all the cities on the eastern seaboard. Sydney is best, but Melbourne isn't far behind, and then Brisbane. I had a good time in Townsville, but it is the hottest place I have ever seen. I was in Leyte, seeing Tacloban, Dulag, Abnyog, BayBay, and B ato. The natives were nearly in their native habitat and it was interesting to watch them. You ' can tell that they have been having hard times for their clothes show it, and none of them is in robust health. And there doesn't seem to be much laughter and gaiety, except among the very young who never know much but play in their imaginative world . .. . " Lt. Allan M. Cress and wife are now

living at 34 Pleasant Street, Houlton, Maine. He is stationed at a Prisoner of War ·camp and finds his work exceedingly interesting. He sends regards to the chapter, and is already thinking of what that first homecoming after the war is going to be like. Lt. Dana Stewart reports some good missions and some bad ones. He is flying a B-24 in the 15th Air Force. We are sorry not to be able to give you the address of Roy J . Lechner who is, at the present time, somewhere in France, but mail addressed to his father, 905 Marshall Avenue, Mattoon, Illinois, will eventually reach him. We just learned a short time ago that Sgt. Charles E. Niehaus is a weather man at Asheville, North Carolina, and has been in the army two years. He lives at 36 Merimon Avenue, Asheville. Captain M. Ross (Buzzy) Bergschneider has just received his promotion from First Lieutenant and for some time has been assigned to the 1342 S. ·U . Dental Clinic, Holabird Signal Depot, Baltimore, Maryland. Our best wishes go to him. The other day we received an interesting letter from Ensign John K. Dahlberg who has finished Midshipman's School, and at that time he was in Miami, Florida, soaking up some of the southern sunshine, and still going to classes eight hours a day. His engineering training for sea duty was taken on the U.S.S. Prairie State, which was the old battleship "lllinois" before it was taken out of service. The life was quite rugged there as well as crowded, and they received only a part of a pay check each month. This hardship was made more severe because they were close to New York City. We do not have a permanent address for John, but until the next "Hello" comes out send mail to his home, 1838 South 9th, Maywood, Illinois. Lt. Harry L. Plunkett has done a lot of traveling since he joined the Navy, and is, at present, in the office as an Administration Officer. He is located at the Airborne Coordinating Group, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington 20, D. C. He is all set for a very interesting mission which has to do with technical intelligence for the Bureau of Aeronautics. He has spent quite a bit of time with the army in Booby-Trap study, hand-to-hand combat study, bomb disposal technique, etc. By the time the next "Hello" is ready, we hope Harry will be able to tell us the results of some of his interesting experiences. Sgt. Richard C. Straker has left the United States and is now enjoying himself in the Hawaiian Islands. Lt. Eugene E. Alt writes from the Philippines that he met L . C. Rollman in those far -away Islands. Gene is doing communications work in the army, and hopes he does not get "wire happy." It keeps us on the go to keep track of Captain M. E. Volle who has been located since February at Hq. Air Technical Service Command, TSPER, Area B, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. He tells us that he may return to California within a few weeks. Merve tells us that his cousin, Frank Volle of Mt. Pulaski, expects to

enroll at Illinois for the summer session, and we are looking forward to seeing him at the Acacia House. From the Marianas we learn that John G. Mosher, Jr., is doing Aerological work, which is right down his alley. John majored in Geography at the university, taught for several years in a Wisconsin College, and will, no doubt, have some interesting tales to tell his students when he returns after the war. He has been recommended for the Flying Cross with Gold Stars. Now for a few Alumni Notes. Wilbur E. Pings has left Delaware and is now associated with Arthur D . Little, Inc., 30 Memorial Drive, Cambridge 42, Massachusetts. Julius M. Wright, '08, is an inspector for the International Harvester Company at their McCormick Works in Chicago. Communications to him should be addressed to 1822 W. Monroe Street, Chicago 12, Illinois. W. Burton Wood is doing his best to keep the wheels of industry turning. Since graduation he has been with the AllisChalmers Manufacturing Company, and in March they rushed him off to South Carolina to investigate some turbine trouble that a cotton mill was having. Burton reports that the "Sunny South" didn't intrigue him at all until his wife joined him a few weeks later. That made everything perfect. It has been a long time since we have reported anything to you from Howard L. Ashley, '26, of Tonica, Illinois. Howard is still on the farm, h as four children-two boys and two girls-and three of them are still at home helping to take care of the farm duties. John A. Dobbins, '09, is connected with the Power Department of the Kenosha Brass Company, and resides at 530 61st Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin. JACK TUTHILL

Indiana After another five-day rest, the Indiana Chapter was back in full swing to start another successful rush week. Our efforts did not prove in vain for we pledged four boys: Bob Haynes, Indianapolis; Jack Denison, Indianapolis; Tom Kohlmeier, Milan; John Kussmaul, Huntington. We have thirteen actives and eight pledges. Our present officers are Bill Thompson, Venerable Dean; Jim Shaw, Senior Dean; Bob Reed, Junior Dean; Jim Davis, Treas· urer; Bob Reed, Secretary, and Ed Schienbein, House Manager. Initiation was held May 13. Our new actives are Les Biesel and Bob Boone. Two faculty men were also initiated. They are Harry C . Good, basketball coach, and Leslie Howell, faculty member of the business school. Summer intramurals have made their appearance again. We are participating in baseball and tennis. Our baseball team is doing all right so far-we have won one game and lost none.

The Triad, June, 1945 Cupid really made a grand slam during April. Bill Ritchie put his pin on Marcia Hoover, Chi Omega, and Jim Ketchum put his on Phil Rodkey. Best of luck to both of you. We are looking forward to a rush party on June 8 and 9. Yellow Dog will follow soon after it. Second Lieutenant Jim Gaddis paid us a visit soon after he received his commission. He was commissioned by Lt. Pete Driver. I hope to have more and better news for you in the next issue. Boa REED

Minnesota Greetings to all brother chapters. Now that V-E is past, we at Minnesota Acacia are happily looking forward to the day when our chapter will again be up to full strength. At the moment, however, school, the draft, and everything in general has been forgotten in favor of our annual canoe party to be held this Saturday. Under the guidance of Junior Dean Bert Wing, the chapter will hold a buffet luncheon and then head for Stillwater where the "process" of canoeing will start. This party is an annual occurrence. We canoe several miles up the St. Croix river to a boy scout camp where a picnic and dancing are held. The entire chapter, approximately twenty-four fellows, will be on hand. On May 12, we held our Founder's Day banquet at the Curtis Hotel. Some three dozen alums turned out and seemed glad to see that the chapter is holding up. E. B. Pierce, general alumni secretary at Minnesota, was the toastmaster of the evening, and the speaker was Dr. William F . Holman, y.rorshipful grand master of Masons in Minnesota, and supervisor of buildings and grounds at the University. During his talk, Dr. Holman reminded the chapter that a great man is one who thinks of others before himself. Of frater nities, he said that the fraternity must always keep in sight those principles upon which it was founded. During the past month many service men have visited the Âˇ house, and, for the most part, they voiced the hope that they might return to school after the war. Those visiting were Gunnery Sgt. Carl Jensen of the Air Corps; Ensign Russ Larson; Pfc. Jim Stark; Lt. (jg) Willard Thysell of Naval Supply; Lt. (sg) Guy Glarner also of Naval Supply; Pfc. Don Neubauer, and Cadet Wally Kienast. Two new men have been attracted to ye ould house: Orin Haugen and Bill Kennedy, both Technology freshmen . An old saying that for each coming joy there is a departing sorrow seems true now, for Jim Jensen, V-12 from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is being transferred to Great Lakes because of stomach ulcers. Jim pledged in the fall of 1943 and went active imme-

113 diately after Christmas vacation. For the past year he has been stationed in V-12 on this campus. The chapter will miss him greatly, for Jim was the humor man with the alarm clock that woke everyone but himself, with stale old jokes, and with a spir it that was t r uly Aca cia. When spring came, campus politics came with it. The results show tha t the campus cannot forget Acacia. Bob Wilcoxon, V.D., was elected vice-president of the Interfraternity Council; Karl Doeringsfeld, senior dean, was chosen to head the annual Engineer's Day festivities; while Tom Clareson was at last made editor of Ski-U -Mah, the campus magazine, and vice-president of Sigma, the writers' club on campus. On Cap and Gown Day, Richard Ha mmel, ex-V.D. now in the Navy, was awarded the American Institute of Architects Medal for high scholastic achievement, and Tom Clareson and Bert Wing were elected to Delta Phi L ambda, national creative writing society. On May 12, alum Russel Hedeen of Minnesota Mining, now residing in California, dropped in for a visit. He was in Minneapolis on business and so could not attend the Founder's Day banquet. He expressed gladness at seeing the chapter doing so well. Which brings us just about to the end of another letter. We have only one graduating senior this year-Bill Peterson, exV.D., in dentisty-so the chapter will continue at present strength next fall . While it is doubtful that we will remain active this summer, all eyes are turned toward fall. Then we hope to see Minnesota Acacia return to pre-war levels. We sincerely hope that that time will see all chapters of Acacia active and flourishing once more. ToM CLARESON

Northwestern News is a bit scarce from the Northwestern chapter-probably the diversionary activities of Spring. Spring has been pretty lousy, however, since the monsoons have just about washed the boys and girls right off the beach. Bill Brown, when not in the process of editing the Freshman Daily, has found time to enjoy the above-mentioned location with various members of the Alpha Chi house. He's currently dating his fifth Alpha Chi in three months. Ross and Jones have been left far behind in the race. Dickinson and Powers seem to be securely tied down to their heart-throbs, as does Bill Boyes, so it looks as if no pins will be hung in the immediate future. The Chapter greeted a new advisor in April with the appointment of Jack Erwin to replace Roy Clark who has guided for so long and well. Roy reports that he'll "still be around" whenever we need him -which we will. Already Jack has helped us formulate some intensive rushing plans for the coming year .. . . Also in line with

gener al chapter news is the rumor that we'll get our house back in September, with present plans calling for a sharing arra ngement with some other fraterni ty. More developments are anticipated in the near f uture. Gr aduation in June will find Bill Boyes and Bill Ross obtaining their long-sought degrees while Dick P owers will leave for medical school. Future plans for the graduates seem to be a little indefinite at the moment . Word has been receiven from a number of the ÂŁraters who a re dishing it out on all fronts. Jack Plattner tells of some rather exciting activities as a medical corpsman with the seventh army in south ern Germany. For one bit of heroics he was awarded the bronze star- five more points toward that discharge. Neal Leach is at practically the opposite end of the earth-the Dutch East Indies, where he says that coca-cola never tasted better. Among the newly-commissioned are Jack Schmitz, a second lieutenant in the army water transport corps and Bill Friedrichs, the latest of a long line of ensigns to come from this chapter. Bill was last seen headed for Miami where he planned to find Freddie Bruce in a bar and have :=t real chug-a-lug contest. Bruce Bain and Bob Webster are still on the local lake front-Bruce at Great Lakes and Bob at Navy Pier. Dark rumor has it that the old lover, Phil Whidden, has hooked himself a prospective wife, but attempts on our part to get added information for publication have so far brought no answer. More election results are reported: John Walker, the old keeper of the books when we were at the house, has been elected president of the Northwestern Alumni Association of Acacia. Johnnie is one of these guys who doesn't make much noise but really can do a job right, so we extend our congratulations to him. Members of the alumni board now are John H . Walker, C. W. Morton, Walter W. Kolbe, John C. Erwin, Roy C. Clark, and Lieut. Comdr. Curtis M. Erickson. Erwin's apartment again came in handy recently, when the chapter held a rushing dinner there. Chop suey, salad, and rolls and beer was the outlay . Needless to say, a good time was had by all, with several excellent prospects uncovered, and a real enthusiasm developed. With the prospect in view of the fra ternity houses being returned next fall, the Interfraternity Council is being reorganized along pr e-Navy lines. A regular set of rushing ,rules is in the formulation stage and a regular rush week has been scheduled for the first weeks of July. In line with the increased fraternity activity on campus, the Northwestern Chapter has set up the most extensive and elaborate rushing plans since the houses were taken over by t he Navy . With the type of active-alumni support we have been receiving, the chapter cannot help but look with optimism towards the crucial period of reorganization we are approaching. BILL JONES

Ohio State Hi Yanks!

Old Columbus Town and Campus are sweltering in the midst of spring, the campus is green and Traditions Week is now over. So you can imagine how dull the last two weeks of school are going to be. Strollers annual spring production is ovet·, with yours truly having smeared on the last bit of make-up for 'em, and has been notoriously decorated with the Senior Award. No more Boar d meetings or gripe sessions. Whoopee! But seriously, speaking of who is where, and what you're all doing. I haven't exactly been overcome by writer's cramp answering your non-existent letters, so without much information and much know-how, here goes: Lt. "Beery" Beerbower is still wandering around the northern part of Italy at last reports. Did I tell you that he thinks they h ave VERY interesting bars there? Not a bit American, sez he! I receive a bit of news from Johnny Burroughs occasionally, and he was still in England at last report. Seems to like it there. They tell me that Davey Herrman is just about (if not already) married. My, it just doesn't seem possible. I saw Bill Huston at a DeMolay initiation recently. Gee, he looks just the same as always, and just as full of the devil. He's· stationed out at Lockbourne Air Base near Columbus, and you can reach him at the old home address of 948 Lockbourne Ave., Columbus. In a not-so-recent V-Mail from George Painter he says that, in his estimation, Europe isn't what it's cracked up to be. He says: "I'm of the opinion that everyone should get a chance to visit these countries, not so much to study their history and culture, but to find out by actual comparison what a swell place that good old U.S.A. really is." And that, fellas, wasn't written for a war bond rally. It's straight from the heart. It seems like a long time since we've said anything about Bob Scott, but we did get a V-Mail from him recently which was headed "Germany" in which he says he's getting along fine at latest r eports. L oren Senn has by now entered Medical School here a t OSU and graduated with honors, being a member of Phi Beta Kappa. I think Gus will still be a r ound for a while yet, finishing up his Medical School training. Ralph Wenger still is going strong here at Sta te and will graduate on his birthday, June 8, as will Ned. As things ar e now, Ralph plans to m ake r adio announcing a career . Ned Graduates with Distinction in Education, and is going to spend the summer in the university's Radio Workshop taking advanced training in radio production and program planning. No one knows quite what the future holds, but everyone is keeping his fingers crossed. We did have a shock the other day when Woody Willis called up on the telephone from right here in Columbus. He had graduated from Midshipman's School, is

now an Ensign, and has been re-assigned to Florida. Full address is listed in the service column. Woody says the youngster is fine, and so is his wife. It surely sounded good to hear his voice. Well that's the news we have. Surely more than that has happened. Why don't you drop us a line and let us know what YOU'RE doing? I know you'll be sorry to hear that one of the grand old trees on the corner of the lot has died this past winter, and is slowly being cut down. Makes the whole yard look different. Hope you'll be back soon to rebuild Ohio Chapter, but finish the rebuilding you're doing now, first. And remember: whether it's the Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Corps, we're in it! NED Wn.L

Purdue Hello fellas. Not too much has happened at the Purdue Chapter since the last edition of the TRIAD, but here is the latest dope. At the end of this semester, eight of our members are graduating. They are Russ Perkey, Neil Teufel, Bill Greer, · "Doc" Price, Dick Shumaker, Ralph Grey, Joe Judge, and Lawrence Nielsen. Four of them are living in the house now, a?d three are in the Navy. We will miss them all. "Mousey" Wright, Ed Widener, and Sam Fox are all wearing Uncle Sam's clothes now. Fox has been back a couple of times to see his pin girl, but is now assigned to a ship. Harold Berry, who left for the service last semester, will be back with us in November. Socially we are doing pretty well. Perkey has his pin out again in the Chi Omega house. We have had trade dances with the Pi Phi's, Alpha Chi's, and Chi Omega's, as well as a house dance. Ralph Grey plans to get married after graduation this June. Don Baughman was back for a short visit, and he, too, is now married. The house is sporting several new keys. Hackett made the Catilist Club, and incidentally is the "Year Book" editor now. Price has been initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, and is also an Iron Key man now. Nice going, Doc. Bill Gorman is in Alpha Phi Omega, and Johnny Kice is the new photography editor for the Debr is. Scholastically, we are doing pretty well with five distinguished students last semester. They were Price, Shumaker, Judge, Roll, and Foltz. Don Foltz won top honors with a straight "A" average. The officers are the same as before except for house manager, sentinel, and correspondent. Tom Somers is · the new house mana ger, Bob McHenry is the Sentinel, and Bill Roll is the new correspondent. Roll is also the keeper of the rolls. We have eleven pledges and about twenty-one living in the house now, but this summer will see considerably fewer here. Next fall, however, we expect to have several. of the old men back. That just about brings us up to date

for now, so with hopes that Spring Fever doesn't get too bad, I'll sign off. Bn.L RoLL

Notes on Minnesota Acacians in Service Lt. William S. Harrison, '35, of Minneapolis, has been with a hospital unit in the South Pacific for the past year. On a recent visit to Australia he came across Lt. Chet Lacy, '38, and Sgt. John Livingston, '37, both Minnesota Acacians, in the same Canteen on the same evening. Lt. Harold R. Shipman, '34, has been in the service for about one year, and most of that time has been stationed at Brookley Field near Mobile, Alabama, doing camp sanitation work. His wife, Lois, and their two sons are able to live with him in Mobile. It is reported that Lt. Joseph Montgomery, '36, a bombardier, has been returned to the states after having completed his 50 missions over Europe during the past year. · Capt. Tom Mathison, '36, has been stationed at Fort Worden, on Puget Sound, Washington, for several years. He is with the coast artillery. Lt. Col. George Matt, '31, formerly of -Montevideo, Minnesota, has been in the army medical corps for several years, and was last reported to be in a Pacific Coast camp. He visited with Floyd Nelson in Minneapolis about a year ago . Major Elmer Hollar, '38, a Marine fighter plane pilot, returned about a year ago from more than a year of combat duty in the Solomon Islands. He is now stationed at an eastern training camp, and recently became a father. FLOYD E. NELSON, '28 1100 Soo Line Bldg. Minneapolis, Minn . .

These Men Honor Their Country and Fraternity Relatives and friends of Acacia servicemen are requested to mail to the National Headquarters gloss photographs of these men when casualty reports are received. The TRIAD is eager to continue to give these heroes their rightful recognition.

Acacians in the service, both on this continent and overseas. receive copies of the TRIAD whether subscribers or not. All camp and service libraries-there are 252 of them-receive several copies of the TRIAD regularly.

Patients retwÂˇning home are classed as litter, ambulant and mental cases. The ships have special facilities for the mental patients, most of whom are suffering from w hat is known as "combat fatigue" and will be restored to health following sufficient rest in the States. The programs of entertainment on board the hospital ships are varied and full. Orchestras and choral groups are organized on most voyages home, and each ship is stocked with a variety of musical instruments. Motion pictures are shown, usually daily, and games of many types are arranged. Each Army ship publishes a newspaper, with the patients providing a part of the editorial staff. Special diets are provided for all who require them, and those who are on a regular diet receive the best food obtainable from Army stocks. These include fresh frozen milk, "eggs . with shells on them," tenderloin steak, frozen vegetables and a variety of fruits.
