Our dull roommate finally shows
signs of observing what goes on in
the outside world. Saturday night,
listening to the Hit Parade in
Keeler, she blinks a couple of
times, takes a quick look, and
chirps, "Say, isn't that Frank
Sonata?"
Then quick like a flash somebody answers, "No, that's *Moon-
light!" Somebody snickers and our
dull roommate takes a bow.

AWS Votes $100
to Christmas Fund
The AWS board voted $100 to the
Christmas chest Loan fund at its
meeting last week. The proceeds of,
the Christmas ball usually go to
the fund, but this year that money
was used for the Victory Loan fund.
The fund is designed to meet
emergency situations of students
such as buying glasses, traveling expenses for a hurry-up call out of
town, medical charges, and to help
freshmen who have come here without adequate funds because they did
not realize the amount of beginning
expenses.
The Christmas Chest loan fund
was founded in 1930 by the Student
Activities committee. It was established to supply the immediate
needs of students for short time
loans. No security is necessary and
no interest is charged. Over 250
loans were made last year to students who found they needed a little
extra money while waiting for that
long-overdue check from home. Any
student may make use of the fund
whenever necessary by applying at
the dean of women's office.
Ace War Correspondent to
Be Here March 7.
Leland Stowe, ace war correspondent, will speak at 8:15, March 7, in
the college auditorium for the
fourth offering of the lecture course
program.
Stowe achieved world-wide fame
with his 4,500 word study from
Stockholm in the Spring of 1940, revealing the intrigue and treachery
behind Norway's occupation by the
Germans. A week before this he
succeeded in cutting through German censorship at Oslo and filed 33
words that scooped the world. He
radioed that the Germans had
clinched their hold at Oslo with the
arrival of five transports carrying
more than 20,000 troops. Just a few
hours later Stowe filed another beat,
giving a first eye-witness account of
the German troops "Pushing their
field-gray columns northward, eastward and southward out of the Norwegian capital."
Stowe won the Pulitzer prize in
1930 for the best interpretative writing of any American correspondant
abroad—winning the award for his
dispatches on the Young reparation
program. He covered the Ethiopian
war and the Spanish Civil war and
following a searching tour of Germany in 1933, h-> wrote a book
"Nazi Means War."
His work has blasted the fallacy
that modern warfare and its censorship spell doom for the war correspondant.
LELAND STOWE will appear
on the next number of the lecture
series March 7.
Honor Hace En

Groups Increase
Chippewa Funds
Three hundred dollars in subsidies
was voted to the Chippewa yearbook
by three campus organizations in
recent meetings to help make a book
comparable to former years. The
book olanned will sell for $1 but the
subsidies will provide features, subscription funds alone would not
make possible.
The Student council voted $150 for
the book; and the AWS, $100. The
sophomore class will provide $50 to
be used for group pictures *of the
class, provided that the junior and
freshman classes also vote for group
pictures. Such pictures will be taken
in groups of 30 students.

Company four, commanded by

Wash, freshman, this week climaxed
a highly competitive honor company
race by winning its second consecutive award. By virtue of its current
achievement the fourth, capitalizing
on its record of the fewest offenses
and demerits in the battalion, became the first to take two awards in
succession.
The honor company race which
has been officially conducted
throughout the present semester saw
company five, commanded by Hugh
D. Untiedt Jr., Pasadena, Calif,
freshman battle for top honors with
company three commanded by L.
Fred Bissell, Kalamazoo freshman.
In the closing weeks of the semester company four, the current honor
company, came back strong to take
two successive awards and place itself in a tie for first place with companies three and five.
The final standings on Willard
Porter's (original dean of the ship's
company) island bombing representation of the honor race shows a
three way tie for first place between
companies three, four and five, each
having four, bombs indicating four
weeks as honor company. Companies
one and two finish-1 in a tie for
second place with a bomb apiece.
Men who are in the honor company
enjoy extra liberty during the week
for their efforts in winning the
recognition.

Civilian music's loss was the
Navy's gain back in 1938 when Hugh
D. Untiedt Jr., trombone totin* V-12
freshman from Pasadena, Calif.,
joined the Navy. Hugh, who topped
off his pre-enlistment musical
achievements by winning first place
in a national solo instrument contest
in 1938, spent only three weeks at
the Norfolk, Va. boot camp before
going into the U.S. Navy School of
Music at Washington, .D. C
In May 1940 he was transferred to
sea duty tout not until his studies
at the Naval Musical school had
been interrupted by a shakedown

cruise Hugh saw much of South
America and when war broke out in

In the winter of 1940 he was
aboard the USS Tuscaloosa when
President Roosevelt sailed on this
ship to inspect the Panama defenses.
After graduation from the music
school Untiedt went aboard the flagship of the Atlantic fleet, the USS
Texas. His musical training immediately found him a position in the 20-
piece admiral's band. Hugh called
the Texas "home" until the USS
Augusta, flagship of the Asiatic fleet,
came back to the States from China
to become flagship of the Atlantic
fleet. He was transferred to the
Augusta and as a member of the admiral's band he participated in ceremonies and concerts held aboard
ship. When the Augusta- took Presi-

The St. John's Navy club is now
accepting requests from college
girls to become hostesses at their
Saturday evening dances in the St.
John's Parish house. They may leave
their names with Dean D. Louise
Sharp and she will recommend them
to Rev. Harold Adams, minister of
the church. He will accept a limited
number of these girls as hostesses.
The club was opened exclusively
for the entertainment of Pre-Flight
Cadets and those men enrolled in
the V-12 program at the college. It
is open from 9:30 to 12:30 every
Saturday night. All hostesses serving
at the Navy club must be at least
17 years old and must have a Registration card before admittance to
the club premises.
Unless announced to be otherwise,
these dances are not formal.
Brush Away Those Blues?
Barber's Brooms In Ncnry
Solution to those inspection blues
which result from inadequately
brushed uniforms was found in a
gift presented to the V-12 unit on
Friday, February 4. Bill Straker,
local barber, noticed the longing
gleam in Central Navy men's eyes
as they admired the professional
whiskbrooms in his shop. Here,
thought Bill, is an opportunity to do
a practical good deed. Thus we find
that the unit is now the proud possessor of two of these small editions
of a house broom.
NAVY MEN
LIFE will be sent free of charge
to all departing V-12's who leave
their mames at   the   jjuMicatioaJs
office.
