The 40th Candle The Fortieth Anniversary of the founding of the Acacia Fraternity was held Friday evening, May 12, when a large number of Chicago Alumni Association members gathered to celebrate Founders' Day in Huyler's College Room on Michigan Avenue. Richard Canman, President of the Association, served as master of ceremonies and introduced the speakers of the evening. Walter W. Kolbe, National President, spoke on college fraternities in wartime and of their future. He pointed out that following the last war, campuses were flooded with new and returning students and that it was from this era that the "Roaring Twenties" earned their name. In anticipation ot" such a situation again, Kolbe asserted that the college fraternity must be ready to assume the proper guidance and provide proper accommodations and stimulation for the nation's young men returning from the battle front. The college fraternity is in a position to exert great influence at such a time and must prepare for the responsibility now. Following President Kolbe, Dr. Josiah J . Moore, president of the Chicago Medical Society and treasurer of the American Medical Association, spoke on the background of Acacia and of the growth and changes in the fraternity system that have occurred in the past few decades. Dr. Moore asserted that the fraternity system as it now exists is not easily conceived by those who remember them from years gone by as exponents of the "rah , rah boys." Entrance requirements and scholastic standards enforced by the fraternities and the universities have increased the selectivity and benefits of the organizations. Increased alumni supervision and sound financial policies have built the college fraternity into the structure of the American way of life. College sports in wartime were highlighted by Major John L. Griffith, Big Ten Sports Commissioner, who outlined the streamlining of the nation's sports programs and their value in the college training programs. Featured speaker of the evening was Dr. A. R. Gilliland, psychologist at Northwestern. His subject was "Propaganda Techniques and Methods in World War II," as revealed by recently completed international surveys. Program arrangements were made under the supervision of K. V. Fleming of Kenilworth, L . A. Bain of Oak Park, and John C. Erwin of Evanston. Announcement of the next regular alumni association dinner was made for June 13 at the Columbia Yacht Club.

The Triad, May, 1944

That's a Doughboy! By ARTHUR E. DU BOIS usT how the Infantryman has acquired the nickname of "Doughboy" is a moot question, and since no one of sufficient dignity and authority has ever deigned to rule on it, all that can be done is to review briefly a number of possible origins. In the early days of the American Army, the uniform of the Infantry soldier was replete with white facings, which the men endeavored to keep white by the application of pipe clay. When wet this clay had the appearance and consistency of dough. Later on, the Infantry adopted a round, gray blouse button, which closely resembled a lump of dough, and it may have been that the name was derived from that source. What appears as a more logical explanation is a condition peculiar to foot soldiers of all time. In the pursuit of his very honorable calling, it is often incumbent upon the Infantryman to plod his weary way along roads that have never experienced the refining influence of broken stone and tar. Such roads, and an Infantry soldier's shoes after their passage over them resemble, and possess the mucilaginous quality of dough. The earliest written mention of "doughboy" is in Burney's Voyages, published in 1816, in which the author states that in 1680, during the crossing of the American Isthmus, three hundred thirty-one buccaneers landed in Darien, and that each of these buccaneers was supplied with four cakes called dough-boys. It is possible that Infantrymen have come to be called doughboys from this old custom of issuing such cakes to foot soldiers. Regardless of why or how he happens to be so called, the doughboy is as proud of his name as he is of his branch of service. To him it means honorable service, noble traditions, the will to do, and the ability to win. It means-an Infantryman, the slowplodding, dependable soldier, who packs a rifle at the rate of two and one-half miles an hour and, who, with bayonet-fixed, climbs out of a fox-hole and steps out fearlessly toward the enemy trenches. That's a doughboy! The following versions are also given of the derivation of the expression "Doughboy" as meaning "Infantryman": 1. In olden times, when Infantrymen used to clean their white trimmings with pipe clay, if caught in the

The G .I. Bill

The "G.I. Bill of Rights," an omnibus war veterans' aid measure providing for education among other things, has been passed by both Houses of Congress and approved by the President. A digest of the educational sections is here presented. Any person who served in the active military or naval service on or after Sept. 16, 1940, and who was not over 25 years of age at the time he entered the service, and who shall have been honorably discharged, and who either (1) shall have served 90 days or more, exclusive of any period he was assigned to an Army or Navy college training program, which was a continuation of his civilian course and was pursued to completion, or (2) as a cadet or midshipman at one of the service academies or (3) shall have the soldiers who have to march in the been discharged from active service mud; hence the expressions used in by reason of an actual service-incurred the sixties and early seventies in re- injury or disability shall be elegible ferring to Infantrymen as "D obie for educational benefits.

Democracy in Education

innumerable teachers in their hope that their status may be lifted to a more suitable plane. Many other teachers would be inspired to contribute original thought and action if the public were to spotlight and applaud their accomplishments in building up a citizenry capable of furthering the highest ideals of democracy.

Plain Talk to Liberals By EDWARD L. BERNAYS will approach its ideals only when generations of classroom teachers have functioned effectively. But the democratic principle can and should be applied now to society's attitude towards those responsible for teaching its children. We must raise the economic level of teachers so that their financial rewards may indicate the value which society places on the education of its future citizens. It is obvious that if we are to convince governmental bodies who spend the money that such teachers are valuable enough to be so recompensed, we must raise the prestige of teachers. The way to do that is first to raise the prestige of individual teachers. This is a task for the liberals who lead the less socially aware members of the community. The ban of institutional anonymity against singling out classroom teachers for special mention is more ironclad than army regulations. Military authorities have learned that morale cannot be maintained- or raisedwithout praise of privates. Jealousy of officers is not admitted as a valid objection to citations for merit. J ealousy of school principals, superintendents and school boards should not be permitted to prevent just and full recognition of classroom teachers in the educational system. Constant search should be made for valorous teachers in our schools, and for outstanding feats in pedagogy. Such teachers and their efforts and achievements should be publicly recognized and rewarded. Teachers will not do their best work unless they are accorded the respect they should have. Boards of estimate, boards of education, the general public and even pupils are influenced by public standards of excellence and success. Teachers are handicapped by lack of that recognition which should belong to those who are fighting our great battle against ignorance, superstition, anti-social greed and lethargy. One seldom sees a classroom teacher on the dais at public functions, an unfortunate omission. Teachers are seldom on letterheads of societies working in the public interest. Why have teachers not been asked more often to help direct activities by participation on boards of directors of social welfare committees and on other groups

DEMOCRACY

Postwar Fraternity on Alumni Shoulders The fate of our fraternities rests with the alumni. They only can in the next few years do the things that must be done if the fraternities are to survive. If they have any pride in what has been achieved in the name of their fraternities , if they value at all what they themselves have got out of their fraternity experience, if the well-being of youth has any meaning for them, concerned with public affairs?

What Education Pays in Dollars That money invested in education brings handsome economic returns is supported by numerous studies of the relation of schooling to earning power. The schooling and earning power of 7,400 people in all walks of life were examined. The average earnings of the college-trained people of the group was $3,400 higher than those of high school training, while the high school graduates earn $1,100 more than those of elementary school training. This study calculates the probable total lifetime earnings of a typical elementary, high school, and college graduate, as indicated by the incomes of those studied, and arrives at these results: Schooling

Stated in relation to what it means to a student as contrasted to what he might earn daily by leaving school and obtaining a job consider the following values: In terms of a total life's earnings for the four years a student spends in high school he receives $30.00 per day for every day he stays in high school to be graduated. For the four years he spends in college he receives $90.00 per day. Contrast these figures with the daily earnings he receives from a "job" during those years. Education pays the student handsomely!

The Triad, May, 1944

Fraternity Alumni Can Help Chapters Meet Opportunities By PRESIDENT EDMUND E. D AY Cornell UniYersity ms is a good time to talk about fraternities. Virtually all houses have been emptied of their regular occupants for the duration, and have been taken over as barracks in the Army and Navy programs. The brothers are in uniform for the most part, and have left the campus on serious business. In the corner of the living room where the radio and the red leather c-ouch used to stand, more than likely there is now a double-decker bed occupied by Army or Navy trainees. We may talk about fraternities, therefore, with more clarity of perspective than is perhaps granted to us when they are operating full blast under the normal condition of peace. For present purposes, I want to take up the question as a fraternity man rather than in an official capacity.

Fraternities on Defensive The difficulties which fraternities are encountering as a result of the war need not give us much concern. Trying as these experiences are, they do not have the serious implications that have to be faced when we consider the long trend of fraternities over the past several years. If anything is clear about fraternities these days, it is that they are on the defensive, and that signs of declining prestige are evident in many directions. One of the most obvious signs is the tendency to make special investigations of the Greek letter organizations. Some ten years ago, it will be remembered, there was a widely publicized investigation at Dartmouth by a mixed undergraduate - alumni committee which produced a recommendation to terminate the national affiliations of Dartmouth chapters. This recommendation was set aside only when promised reforms in the life of the chapters saved the day, and subsequently brought notable improvements. At other institutions, critical appraisal of fraternities has occasionally produced more drastic results. At Princeton, Swarthmore, Harvard, and elsewhere, fraternities simply w ent by the board. Fraternity shortcomings are also spotlighted by statistical reports ema-

nating from college and university record offices. At some institutions, fraternity men on the average do poorer academic work than nonfraternity men. This is true at Cornell. In 1941-42, for example, there were fiftyeight fraternities on the campus. The average for these houses, even with the benefit of high-ranking professional organizations counted in, was substantially below the all-men's average for the University. A survey conducted at forty-seven institutions throughout the country, however, shows that the situation at Cornell came closer to being the exception rather than the rule. In the schools surveyed, fraternities ranked above the all-men's average in thirty-three, and below the all-men's average in only fourteen. Even among organizations generally criticized as having dubious educational advantages, Cornell fraternities have failed to keep pace. This strongly suggests that there are local fraternity attitudes which have an important bearing on the way the brothers meet their academic responsibilities.

Influence Life Habits I rather doubt that fraternities have deserved the bad press that they have gotten as a result of initiation horseplay and attendant accidents. These have largely passed from the scene, but they have left an impression on the public mind that will take time to erase. In many respects, fraternities have come a long way since P ercy Marks wrote his stinging satire, "The Plastic Age," in the mid-twenties. T he main trouble seems to be that they have not come far enough or fast enough. There persist enough evidences of cultural lag to damn, in the eyes of many people, the entire system. Another development that has placed the fraternities under fire is the increasing interest, on the part of colleges and universities, in the life of students outside the classroom and laboratory. We know now that some of the best opportunities for effective education lie in extracurricular activities. Certain influences beyond the classroom are known to have a profound effect upon the efficiency of work

done inside the classroom. As a result of this relatively new enlightenment, a wide variety of innovations in college living have been introduced. The house plan at Harvard is an example. The D ean of Men or Counselor of Students is another response to the same conclusion about the wide range of the process of education. These personnel officers carefully scru tinize the extracurricular forces that make for successful or unsuccessful education. They look at the fraternities and in many instances find them seriously wanting. Thus their voices are added to the chorus of those who question the value of the college fraternity as it is now operating.

Alumni Interest Important Any criticism that is voiced here is based solely on my earnest desire to see fraternities improve, and to see them become truly an integral part of U niversity life. I believe that if those of u s who are fraternity men are sufficiently interested, and have sufficient courage, to examine our chapters with a view to their shortcomings as well as to the pleasant aspects and advantages of fraternity living, we can fit them into newer and more comprehensive schemes of education that will be of immeasurable benefit both to the fraternity and to the University. P robably the best way to get at this is to look at fraternities in two different settings. The first is the setting of fraternity ideals. These call for as much constructive effort, growth, and achievement as anyone could ask. Intellectual accomplishment, character, clean living, unswerving loyalty, love of beauty and of truth: they are all there. But it is one thing to have them in the constitution, and quite another to translate them into the daily living of the chapter. All too frequently, the eloquent passages of the initiation ritual may take a beating in the informal preliminaries to which pledges in some houses are subjected; the first house party may administer the coup de grace. In more ways than one, the fraternities have fallen victim to the new freedom in our mores. They must rna-

The Triad, May, 1944 ture to the point where this freedom is recognized as a challenge to broader service, rather than as an invitation to indulgence. Fundamentally, the trouble is not with the concept of frater nity, but rather with the men who have the responsibility of making that concept work. If the high ideals to which fraternity men formally subscribe are to be seriously regarded by others, they must substantially affect the thinking, feeling , and acting of fraternity men themselves. There will be a lot of backsliding, of course, but the ideals must be made a living force; the wide gap that exists between fraternity ideals and fraternity practices must be closed up. Can Aid College Aims The other setting in which fraternities may be pictured has to do with the purposes of the educational institutions where the chapters are located. While colleges have not always been entirely successful in keeping their sights clear and their goals in full view, the fundamental ends which they are trying to serve have always been manifest. Colleges and universities are. after all, educational institutions. They are committed to the task of developing the whole man, and especially that part of him which may come to know the satisfactions and joys of the intellectual life. In the life of an educational institution there are supplements to, but not substitutes for, academic achievement or intellectual development. It is time for the fraternities to recognize this in fact, as they have always recognized it in theory. The fraternities, for their own strengthening, need to get in line with the University, and to see that their aims reinforce the primary purposes of the University. Fundamentally, the problem of fraternities is the problem of effecting clearer vision and greater conviction as to what their aims ought to be in American higher education. We recognize that, as matters stand, fraterni ties are under fire. In some quarters their further usefulness is sharply challenged. It will not suffice for them to stand on their records. Thoughtful appraisal on their own initiative should be directed toward their educational, social and moral responsibilities. This appraisal, in which we who are alumni must carry our share of the burden, should be followed by a vigorous program directed toward overdue improvements. Fraternities, if they will only recognize their full potentialities, have important contributions to make to the education of the whole man. The effectiveness with which these contributions are made will determine the future of our chapters.

An Interview With a British Colonel By LIEUT. CARSON H. KING Indiana '37 (This article appeared in a sheet known as "Gopherville N ews" which is published daily under fire on the Anzio Beachhead for the soldiers in the underground dugouts. Officers are asked for feature articles and this is the one which Lieut. King wrote as his contribution.-Eo.) MY capacity as liaison officer to various units to which we've been attached, I've met many interesting people-American, British, and French. One individual especially comes to my mind. Shall we call him "my most unforgettable character?" I like to think of him as a representative Britisher-to know him is to know our English cousins. As for his personal appearance, he is tall and soldierly in bearing; he says he weighs fourteen stone; I don't know whether it's his distinguished-looking, thick, wide, bushy, well-trained and wellgroomed mustache or his round face that makes him so jovial-appearing to the eye; his hair is wavy and coal black ; he's in British summer battleuniform of cotton shorts, 0 -D kneelength stockings, narrow, gray puttees; comfy-looking shirt, open wide at the neck, with pip and crown of a Lieutenant Colonel ori the shoulder loops; perched high on his head is the funny-looking, pint-size, British tin derby-no protection for the ears. However, I must confess that the Colonel is sometimes rather unorthodox in his choice of dress, for I've seen him casually, non-uniformly clad in khaki-colored summer shirt and heavy, brown corduroy trousers. In his canvas holster he carries a Colt .45 rather than the British service .38, and he wears it, as we do, on his right hip rather than on the left as is customary with British officers. Also there's t he lanyard cord from pistol grip to shoulder. The good Colonel was born in England, but at an early age his parents took him to western New York State. However, most of his early education was in Canadian schools. Later he went back to England in order to go to Cambridge University. Now, the usual procedure in being commissioned in the British Army is to attend the military school at Sandhurst, or to go directly into the Army after graduation from either Oxford or Cambridge. Well, fifteen years ago, the Colonel left college and fell into the Army. His "batman"-striker to you-has twelve years service, seven of which have been spent with the

Colonel. All of that time the Colonel's been with the same unit-a unit rich in tradition. It was organized (he calls it "raised") back in the days of King Charles I. (Remember? He had his head chopped off.) The Colonel soldiered in London when doing palace guards, and in Egypt in peace times. He mentions Buckingham or Cairo as intimately as you or I would talk about town hall or the public square. His battle campaigns have been in France in the early days of the war, and in Italy since November. The American soldier would call him a typical Britisher, but here are a few secrets. He is a coffee, rather than tea drinker ; he prefers American cigarettes to English; he is fond of his American auto; he likes American beer; and apparently he must like American girls as he married one! Colonel "H" has his favorite characteristic, stock expressions; "bloody awful" ; "You people" (of Americans) . Speaking of the German combat soldiers, he says: "By God, yes! You people and the British have found to their sorrow that the Boche are bloody good infantrymen"; about G-I Joe : "He's a friendly, likeable chapa bloody good fighting fool!" About the Beachhead : "It gets bloody wearing on the nerves." He says that the Yank might how hate being on the beachhead, but when it's all over and Joe has gone back to America, he'll puff up and he "bloody well proud" to say he campaigned at Anzio. American soldierly discipline cannot compare with the very strict British standard. However, the Colonel likes the outstanding evidences of cooperation that he's seen between British and American troops here on the Beachhead. He feels that the Americans and Br itish in rear areas have difficulties appreciating each other, but that on the fighting fronts the Yank has recognized the never-saydie English spirit, and has seen with his own eyes the almost fatalistic, nonchalant courage of the fighting Tommy. The Colonel feels that these factors have strengthened the bonds , between Limey and Yank . . . and, by God, he's bloody well right!

nity goes across her desk, and as a result of her many services and h elpfulness we have received many queries as to who she is. Mrs. May came to the Fraternity with the best of qualifications and a wealth of background and experience. Her undergraduate work was done at the University of Missouri where she took an A.B. degree, and later a B.S. in Education. She taught in Illinois high schools for a few years and took two summers' graduate work at the University of Chicago towards a master's degree. Following the last World War she worked with the War Trade B oard and the R ehabilitation Offices for wounded veterans. Today, her understanding of the problems of our service men is almost uncanny, and her correspondence with these men receives special attention. For several years, fa mily life was her career, but in 1935 she again entered the business world, and has been with the National H eadquarters since their establishment in Chicago . Mrs. May, who lives in Evanston, has two daughters who are active and popular in their respective schools. Her older daughter, Nan, is a D elta Gamma in her senior year at the University of Illinois ; and her younger daughter, Betty, who graduated from Evanston High School this June, plans to attend Dennison University. It is a real pleasure to have Mrs. May in the services of the Fraternity. , Her ability in handling the diversified affairs of her position has long since been demonstrated .

Young Men's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, by a group of twelve youthful drygoods clerks who met to organize a society for "the improvement of the spiritual condition of young men engaged in the drapery and other trades, by the introduction of religious services among them." They gathered in the small bedroom of one of their members, 22-yearold George Williams, who had called the meeting. Williams, a Somerset farm boy, had come to London after getting his start in the drapery trade in the town of Bridgwater. Devoted to the Christian way of life, he was appalled by the conditions facing young men in London. "There was no class more degraded and dissolute, none who were sunk deeper in ungodless and dissipation than the shopmen of London," one of his fellow workers reported, while Bishop Berkeley charged, "Morality and religion have collapsed ... Christianity . .. is ridiculed." When Williams arrived in London, the industrial revolution already had brought vice and corruption along with power and wealth to the cities. Hours and wages were inhumanly bad. Young clerks worked fourteen to seventeen hours a day. With no motion pictures, no swimming pools,

football, baseball, lectures or other constructive recreation available for their few leisure hours they turned in desperation, if not eagerness, to gambling, drunkenness and immorality. This was fertile soil for a movement that had behind it the driving force of young men, the spiritual power of Christ, and the comradeship of union in a common cause. In that soil those early members sowed strong seed and reaped a bountiful harvest. Their Association grew in strength and numbers. Within six months, seventy members were conducting services in fourteen business houses, and the work required a full-time paid executive, or "missionary" as he was called. At the end of four years it could be stated "the members of the Association have in their daily callings influenced over 6,000 men." Before it was a year old, the "Y" began to broaden its program to include the mental as well as spiritual needs of young men through a course of lectures on science, history and archaeology. They proved immensely popular and did much to spread the organization's influence. More than 36,000 copies of the printed lectures were sold, a sizeable circulation for that period. From these first lectures, the Y.M.C.A.'s educational work expanded until today in the United States alone it operates twen-

ty-one degree-granting colleges while nearly every Association offers some type of educational activity. Before organization of the Y.M.C.A. in London, conditions which led to its development brought about formation of similar groups in Europe and America. Most of them were short lived but others joined with the more vigor~ ous Association movement and continue today as part of it. It would add to the romance of the As~;ociation to picture George Williams as a Lincolnesque figure, a dreamer of dreams who even as a youngster was making plans for future acts of greatness. Such was not the case. He was an or dinary, though somewhat nervous and high-strung boy, the youngest of eight sons of a stern father. Bor n at Dulverton, in Somerset County, on October 11, 1821, he was a direct descendant of the sturdy, courageous farm folk who formed the strength of England for centuries. While he inherited their health and vigor, he was so small that he was at fi rst refused work in London. Young Williams did not make a good farmer, and when he accidentally overturned a load of hay his family apprenticed him to a draper. He had what it takes to be a natural salesman, earned r apid promotion, and eventually b ecame the head of his London firm . The qualities that made him a success in selling drygoods wor ked equally well in his religious life. When asked how to win a young man to God, he said: "Don't argue with him. Take him out to supper." Queen Victoria knighted the Y.M.C.A. 's founder in 1894 for his "distinguished service to humanity." He died in 1905 at the age of 84 a nd was interred in St. Paul's Cathedral where he lies nearby Britain's greatest heroes, Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. In D ecember, 1851, a month after the first Y.M.C.A. in North America had been organized in Montreal, a group of young men led by J. V. Sullivan, a sea captain, met in Boston to organize the first Association in the United States. The movement spread quickly across the country. Within a few years there were Associations from coast to coast, and fr om the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Today there there are 10,000 Y.M.C.A.'s in 68 countries. The earliest Associations in the Wester n Hemisphere were at Montreal and Boston, while the most recent were established in Bolivia and Paraguay in 1943.

The advertising department of a well known weekly magazine recently sent out a questionnaire on a blind or neutral letterhead to 821 secretaries of principal chambers of commerce in the United States, with the query: "If you could have only one news publication to keep yourself personally well informed, which one would you want above all others, both today and in the immediate postwar future?" returns on this survey gave the following results:

No Plaster Saints " An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints, Why, single men in barracks don't grow into plaster saints." -Rudyard K ipling. In this war, single boys in barracks are growing into educated men. Under the direction of the United States Armed Forces Institute, about a million and a half service men are continuing their education. A former brickyard laborer is studying diesel engineer ing ; a professional boxer is studying chicken raising; a Navajo In dian is studying to become an X-ray technician ; a reindeer herder in Alaska is studying English; a professional bicyclist intends to become a mechanical engineer and a former actor is preparing to teach languages.

The lack of engineers, chemists, and scientists who are the professional minds of industry is creating a headache now. It will probably gain the proportions of a nightmare in 194?. This June, slightly less than 10 per cent of the normal peacetime crop of technically trained men and women were graduated into industry from our colleges. Recent studies indicate that in too many companies professional technicians regard themselves as "forgotten men." There are many indications that the United States will have many of the problems which were so acute in England after the last war. Your guess is as good as any as to what mechanism will be set up to meet the problem.

Self-Shave Wartime innovations are often worthy of note, especially when they put into practice ideas we've often thought of before. It seems that a customer in a big hurry recently walked into Nick Isoldi's barber shop in New York and, seeing a long wait ahead of him, sat down and proceeded

Nick, who hated to see customers waiting almost as much as they disliked waiting themselves, decided it was a good idea, and that's how Nick's Self-Service Shaving D epartment was born. For 15c, you can shave yourself with choice of all equipment, and personal mustache attention by Isoldi is thrown in for good measure.

ment money for veteran education. Dexter M. Keezer, president of Reed College, Oregon, told the meeting at Lafayette College that 1,000,000 veterans can be expected to take ad van tage of government provisions for their postwar education.

Ex-Service Men Return to College

One of the most traditionally famous taverns of American history, the tavern where B ritish officers were quartered before their withdrawal to Yorktown in the American Revolution, will soon be only a memory. The Golden Ball Tavern was built between 1755 and 1760 and has been vacant for a good many years, while efforts were being made to raise funds to restore it for historical purposes. Now it is to become a victim of taxes, because the Petersburg Society for the Preservation of Antiquities does .not have the funds necessary to restore this museum of Revolutionary history.

Colleges report a steadily increasing enrollment of ex-service men. New York University has 150; Yale, 35 ; MichiganÂˇ State receives 20 a month. To meet the problem these educational institutions are putting their postwar planning into effect now. Some offer 12-month practical "college" courses for veterans who never finished high school; others provide supplementary technical training to fill in professional gaps left by armed service-college "quickie" courses. "Refresher" classes fit former graduates for civilian employment. Some, like Boston University, are sending questionnaires to all former students to learn how many want to come back.

Pup Tents A Civil War veteran, Reverend R. B . Stewart, relates how, during the Civil War, there was issued to each man in his outfit two square yards of heavy cotton with buttons and buttonholes. The men were paired off, and were shown how to pitch the squares into a small tent, and when all seemed to be settling down one fellow, sticking .his head out of his little tent, decided that the encampment looked like rows of dog kennels. He began to bark. The idea was contagious, and in a few minutes the whole camp sounded like a vast dog convention. Henceforth the tents were called "dog tents" which in a little while degenerated into "pup tents."

No V-12 Curtailment in Sight Shortly before his death, Navy Secretary Knox announced that his department did not anticipate any curtailment of Navy V-12 program in the colleges. The Navy still needs officers and technicians ; the Army apparently doesn't.

Offsetting ASTP Blow Fraternities are finding ways to ofset ASTP blow. At one school all houses, lately rented for ASTP barracks, are pooling rent money and dividing it on cost basis so that all may keep going, pay fixed charges. In other colleges, some closed chapters are re-opening because alumni boards now need the revenue to keep house from sheriff, so curtailment may be a bl~ssing in d.i sguise. Except for lack of house revenue ASTP loss to fraternities will be slight: very few ASTP men were ever pledged or initiated into fraternities, largely because they had so little free time to themselves.

Illinois Fraternities Pool Rent Money The reduction in ASTP enrollment at the University of Illinois meant the vacating of 15 fraternity houses. As a result, all the fraternities voted to help each other by pro-rating the rental money collected by the university from the Army for buildings occupied among all the houses, whether occupied or not, according to the property value of all houses, with the provision that the occupied houses would receive, in addition, depreciation for

building and equipment. Thus 15 chapters were saved from a financial crisis.

Magazines Into Newspapers To give more frequent and more complete coverage, a number of fraternities have suspended their regular peacetime magazines in favor of newspapers issued with greater frequency and sent to all members. In this category are Zeta Beta Tau, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Tau Epsilon Phi, Tau Delta Phi. Thus for the first time, many thousands of fraternity members are hearing from their fraternity.

Veterans and Jobs Employers are beginning to think about the hiring or rehiring of exservice men. The pending G . I. bill will give returning veterans "benefits " in the way of loans, additional hospitalization, job training, extra unemployment payments, etc., in that the policy of Congress will probably be liberal. It is anticipated that the men will want jobs most of all, and not " benefits," so the Government is endeavoring to facilitate their return to jobs. Ex-service men are, of course, supposed to get their old jobs back, but actually most men don't want to return to them. Only 20 to 25 per cent Âˇare returning to the sa!'fle jobs, the rest going to new jobs, although this trend may not last. The United States Employment Service in cooperation with employers is helping to find new jobs for returning men, who are interviewed at hospitals and demobilization points. Wounded and disabled men are proving to be good workers. More than 74,000 veterans of the current war were placed in civilian jobs in February and March through the USES. This was nearly 70 per cent of the total number of placements of veterans during that period.

Fraternities' Alumni Contribute Thousands Âˇof dollars are being contributed by fraternity alumni, both in and out of the services, to help keep their fraternities going during the war period. Loyalty Fund campaigns have been undertaken by many fraternities to bring in the money formerly supplied by the undergraduate chapters. The dollars thus collected are being used to supplement current funds so that at least a minimum of national activity may be continued: also for postwar chapter rehabilitation, and for postwar loans to brothers.

Educator Bizzell Dies Dr. W. B. Bizzell, Oklahoma '25, president emeritus of the University of Oklahoma, passed away at his home in Norman, Oklahoma, on May 13, 1944, after an illness of about two years. Dr. Bizzell was born near Independence, Texas, on October 14, 1876. After his elementary education he attended Baylor University at Waco,

Dr. W. B. Bizze ll, Oklahoma '25

Texas, where he received a B.S. and a B.Ph. degree. Later he entered the University of Chicago, receiving an LL.B. degree in 1911, doctor of civil laws in 1912, and an M.A. degree in

1913. Six years later Baylor University conferred upon him the degree of LL.D., and in 1921 he received a Ph.D. degree from Columbia University, New York City. His parents had wished him to become a lawyer, but his interest lay along the lines of education and his lifework was in that field. Dr. Bizzell became president of the University of Oklahoma in 1925, and from then until 1941, when he retired, he made many contributions to higher education in Oklahoma. He accomplished his ambition to make the University a great research center, developing the graduate school and the University function of research, in addition to setting a new and higher standard for the undergraduate student. Under his administration the colleges of education and business administration were established as fouryear colleges, and the university medical school was developed as a part of the University in Oklahoma City. Doctor's degrees had not been granted by the University until Dr. Bizzell became president, but through the building up of the interest in research, seventy-four doctor's degrees have been granted since 1929 when the first doctor of philosophy degree was awarded. It was under his leadership that the Frank Phillips historical collection was established at the University. He also encouraged the setting up of a loan fund for worthy students, which has been the means of keeping many such students in school. In all but a few instances the funds borrowed have been repaid. Many notable additions in the way of buildings were made to the University during the Bizzell administration -the half-million-dollar library, the Oklahoma Union, the Press building, the women's residential halls, the second wing of the Stadium, and a number of others. As a teacher he was loved and respected, and students who were privileged to be members of his classes credited him as being one of the finest, most thought-provoking teachers with whom they had been able to work. Certainly this record of outstanding achievements makes his name one which will live in the scrolls of Acacians in the Chapter Eternal.

years of college, and in four years made enough to pay for the rest of his schooling. He was an Ensign in the Naval Communications Service in the last war, after which he taught Agricultural Journalism at Ohio State College. He soon entered the publishing and editorial field, and it wasn't long before Bill was in the broadcasting business. He started his radio career broadcasting a stock show in 1930, and in 1934 was appointed Agricultural Director for NBC. Under Drips' guidance, the "Farm and Home Hour" went on a coast-tocoast hookup; he was instrumental in making big time broadcasts of cornhusking contests, and he helped promote a firm friendship between the nation's leading agricultural schools and radio. Bill isn't a city slicker and doesn't intend to be, and he fully expects to go back to the farm some day. In the meantime, he lives in Glen Ellyn with his wife, the former Josephine Wiley, formerly Woman's Editor of Better Homes and Gardens, and his ten-yearold son, Bill, Jr. Right now he is one of the strongest promoters of victory gardens, and is advisor to most of NBC's victory gardeners. He's never been seen, since his cradle days, without a big black cigar.

Johnson , (MC) , U.S.N., Missouri '26, recently received the Medal of the Legion of Merit for the performance of outstanding services as Medical Officer on the Staff of a major Task Group Commander prior to and during the amphibious assault on the mainland of Italy. Commander Johnson supervised the procurement and distribution of medical supplies, equipment and medical personnel to the assault

79 units. He also supervised the preparation of plans for the evacuation of casualties from Italy during the assault and follow-up phases of the campaign. The evacuation was accomplished with great facility through his ability and the prompt and efficient manner in which all casualties were treated and evacuated from the assault area contributed materially to the success of the campaign. Brother Johnson has been in the Naval service since his graduation in 1929 from the medical school at Washington University, and has been in the Mediterranean theater of war over a year. His overseas address is Navy 1940, c/ o Fleet Post Office, New York City. His wife resides at 515 Montauk Avenue, New London, Connecticut.

Since then, their business careers have paralleled amazingly for many years. Both were on the staff of the Paris edition of the New York Herald in

1926; both have been with the Alumni News of Northwestern-Case as associate editor for a short time in 1926, and Teetor as managing editor and advertising manager from 1927 to 1932. Case was assistant professor of journalism in 1928-29 at Medill School of Journalism. He became editor of Rota?Âˇian in 1930. Teetor joined him again at Rotarian in 1932 as assistant editor and was made business and advertising manager in 1940.

Commander of U .S.S. ttPanay" In February, 1944, Commander Firman F . Knachel, Indiana '20, visited his home in Indianapolis for the first time since 1940. In 1939, the U.S.S. "Sacr amento" was sent to Michigan City, Indiana, to be used as a training ship. At this time Brother Knachel was U .S.N.R. procurement officer in Indianapolis. When the ship was assigned to the Pacific in 1940, he was placed in command and a full crew was made up of h is fellow townsmen. The "Sacramento" was at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. To quote Commander Knachel: "We all surely must have been holding a rabbit's foot at the time of the attack. The Jap planes, which were so close we could have hit them with a potato, couldn't get to our ship because of a tall overhanging crane, and as a consequence, we received only about five small nicks. Two destr oyers, which were occupying the drydock the 'Sacramento' had just vacated, were blown to bits." After Pearl Harbor, the "Sacramento" was returned to the States, and Commander Knachel received full command of the U.S.S. "Panay," named in memory of the original "Panay" which was sunk by the Japs in the Yangtse River several y ears before Pearl Harbor. Brother Knachel says: "The greatest thrill to me is the marvelous spirit and morale of the crews I have had the pleasure and distinction of commanding. I never saw the boys disgruntled or downhearted-they were forever turning the discouraging or the alarming situation into general fun-a quip or a gag. And they were plenty rugged, too."

Dewey at Michigan "Will a social fraternity emblem ador n the waistcoat of the next President of the United States?" queries Editor Cecil J. (Scoop) Wilkinson in the latest issue of the Phi Gamma

Delta. Well, in the manner of speaking, it depends. Franklin Delano Roosevelt joined Alpha Delta Phi at Harvard where his chapter later went local and became the Fly Club. The frate~nity story of Thomas E. Dewey at the University of Michigan is an interesting one. On that campus, in Dewey's undergraduate days -19191923- Phi Mu Alpha, although regarded throughout the Greek world as a professional music society, then rushed in competition with the social fraternities, and the musically inclined D ewey joined this group. It is interesting to note that D ewey lived at the Michigan Acacia House part of the time that he was an undergraduate of Michigan. At the time of his bid to the Fraternity he moved to New York, where he entered Columbia University, and he never pledged. Men who knew him speak highly of his popularity while there. He was a hard worker and was well liked by the Michigan Acacians.

A Prayer I pray that I may never be Of superficiality The victim. If mind cannot a thought embrace,

Please God that I this fact may face With wisdom. Deny my mouth the right to speak In accents loud, with tongue in cheek, On things of which I have no ken, Nor hope to. 0 let me not my brains parade As though for me alone were made These wonder cells with which to think Sublimely.

But rather help me realize That others too perhaps are wise And even better read than I. 0 teach me this that I may live Contented. -SCUDDER GEORGIA

Michigan and Minnesota Report on Fraternities Ban Rumor Persistent rumors that Michigan would ban postwar fraternities were given the lie recently by direct statement to the contrary by Dean of Men Bursley. The administration does, however, want certain changes and additions, such as house mothers. Also, fears that the University of Minnesota authorities, regarded as not too enthusiastic about fraternities for a . decade, might also attempt to ban fraternities, were put to rest by a recent statement to the contrary by Dean of

Men Williamson. Michigan and Minnesota Acacians have been somewhat apprehensive about the future, but are now reassured. The Michigan chapter house was leased to the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity for one year to November 1, 1944, under an arrangement whereby the few Acacians could sub-rent from A. T. 0 . It looks now as though there will be too few fraternity men this fall to operate any house on the Michigan campus. In such case the University will take over all available fraternity houses and use them as girls' dormitories. It is expected that there will be an abnormal number of girls at Michigan this fall because of the Army and Navy training programs at other schools.

Y. M . C. A. Celebrates (Continued from page 75) Evans Hughes, this centennial observance "happily directs public attention to the profoundly beneficient character of its vast range of activities. Its service takes no account of racial or religious difference, exemplifying in a most striking degree the spirit of tolerance and understanding which is essential to the building of a better world."

Doings of Other Fraternities (Concluded from page 83) ing a new house. Today's higher incomes, and the activities of the various war funds to inculcate more giving, make the time propitious. If more chapters' alumni associations would act to set up educational trust funds, and plan special educational projects, more chapters could be using this time to solicit gifts which would be deductible from the donors' federal income tax returns.

Stanford Sororities Ousted Stanford finally did it: President Don Tressider, calling a mass meeting of students, announced that sororities must go from Stanford. While unexpected at the time, such a move has been rumored for years. Fraternity officials, investigating the situation, seem to feel that fraternities at Stanford are safe, at least for the time being.

Tau Epsilon Phi Buys Headquarters By purchasing the attractive sixstory building at 627 W.115th St., New York City, Tau Epsilon Phi becomes the seventh fraternity to own its own national headquarters building.

The Triad, May, 1944

Doings of Other Fraternities

Among the Greeks Asking each one of its 35,000 members to become "Honorary Undergraduate Members," for the duration, to finance the fraternity's operations during the war, and to set up a fund for postwar rehabilitation, Phi Gamma Delta, has raised over $12,000 to date. Soliciting aid from its alumni for the first time in its 44 years of life, Tau Kappa Epsilon raised $3,400 in 1943 and currently in 1944 has had $6,500 contributed to its "Teke Loyalty Fund" by over 2,000 members. The appeal, in the form of two clever letters asked each member to contribute $3 to help save the fraternity during the difficult war days. Funds will be used for current national expenses and for the postwar rehabilitation fund which was started a year ago with $10,000, as a nest egg, from surplus funds. Zeta Beta Tau received $5,963.50 in 1943 for its "Service Men's Service" support, all contributed by members. This fine example of fraternal service to its fighting men publishes a special Service Men's Service newspaper, sends food packages, cigarettes, and newspapers, to its members overseas. The latest service to be included in Zeta Beta Tau's overseas program is a sort of a "book-of-the-month" proposition, pocket-size copies of books being sent to members serving outside continental United States. Pi Kappa Phi has set up a fund of $10,000 to rehabilitate chapters after "D" day. This sum is expected to pay for the expenses of the next convention, to provide salary for the executive secretary for a year and to permit an unusual amount of travel. The fraternity has curbed current expenses by reorganizing the central office under a woman office manager, by limiting The Star and Lamp to three issues.

Chi Phi has asked its members to contribute war bonds to its Postwar Education Emergency Trust Fund, to be used for postwar rehabilitation and for loans to needy servicemen members. Thus far over $16,000 has been contributed.

Speaking of Records With 193 of the 228 members on its World War II service list holding commissions, Alpha Chapter of the Theta Chi offers a record that is believed to be unequalled among fraternity chapters in this country. The commissions range from second lieutenant to major general. The total number of men in service represents one-tenth of the men contributed to the armed forces by Norwich University, where the chapter is located. At least ten of the 35 men who are not commissioned areÂˇ in officer training for officerships. Four out of the nine Norwich men who have already lost their lives in the conflict were Theta Chis. Another has been reported as missing in action since February 28, 1944. Seven members have been given special honors. Sigma Chi reports that 28 out of the USA's Generals are Sigma Chis.

Quotables Vice-President Henry Agard Wallace, Delta Tau Delta, at a press conference: "Fascists are those who put the dollar first and the man second. Each one of us can find a little of the fascist in his own soul." Lionel Crocker, professor of speech at Denison University, Omicron Delta Kappa: "The American college fraternity has been an underestimated force in the development and the perpetuation of American ideals." Nelson Antrim Crawford, editor of The Household Magazine, Phi S igma

Kappa : "l have found many proponents of classical education who show all too little knowledge of the classics, while many scientists take a silly pride in their ignorance of Greek culture. The rest of us, with no theses to uphold, are, or ought to be, ready to take knowledge of whatever kind, wherever we can get it." The Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Riverside Church, New York City, Delta Upsilon: "We are not going to pass from this debauch of a world-wide violence and hate to a peace conference that will issue in a nicely ordered world patterned after our dreams. Any decency we get will be hard won and long worked for, the obstacles immense and the discouragements dismaying. It will take men and women of undiscourageable faith to see the next generation through." The Ron. John Cudahy, former American ambassador to Belgium, Sigma Chi: "The treasure house of education has stood intact and unshaken in the storm. The man of cultivated life has founded his house upon a rock. You can never take away the magnificent mansion of his mind." Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, Psi Upsilon: "The democratic world of today is at a turning point. It is either to go down to destruction, or, through victory over its enemies, to go forward to new accomplishments."

Phi Delts Plan New Headquarters Speaking of postwar planning, Phi Delta Theta, has published plans for a beautiful new Georgian Colonial headquarters building to be erected at Oxford, Ohio, birthplace of the fraternity. It is planned to have the structure ready by 1948 when the fraternity will reach its 100th birthday. (Continued on page 82)

The Triad, May, 1944

Dear B1·others: My folks forwarded me one of the latest copies of the TRIAD and I find that I n eed t o br ing y ou up-to-da te on my goings and comings. I believe the last time I wrote y ou (how long ago was it?) I was running around the South Pacific. Quite a bit has happened since then. The ship I was on finall y returned to the E ast Coast ea rly in the fall, and along in October I got a nice long reha bilita tion leave which I spent in Des Moines. When I left my wife came alon g with me and spent the next few months in New York City while I cruised around the South Atlantic on a small vessel. I made C PhM on this same small vessel through a lot of good fortune, and then finall y ca me the break that I had waited three years at sea for. My orders came a board to report to the continental U. S. for further assignment to shore duty. I had entertained hopes of being sent to New York, but had to settle for my present station in Charleston, South Carolina. My work here is very enjoyable and Mary is h ere with me which makes it doubly so. It isn't particularly hard and i get the benefit of quite a bit of liberty. I only hope that the job holds out for quite some time. Things in the home town a re about the same although they have been having some severe floods in central Iowa this Spring. I expect to get back there for another visit in July so will get to see what damage has been done. About the only one of the gang that I have seen or heard from is Bill Melgaard. I m et him and his wife in San Francisco last summer for the first time since I left N .U. We had a couple of nice visits and have corresponded regularly since then. He is now in Philadelphia with a chance of coming down in this direction some time soon. I get a big kick out of both the TRIAD and the Purple Pyramid which enables me to keep up with the whereabouts of some of the fellows. Would appreciate a line from y ou if circumstances afford time. Fraternally, Lawrence Dutcher Northw estern '38 J . L . Dutcher, C PhM USN Fr ontier Base Charleston, S. C.

D ea1· Brothers: Recent issues of the TRIAD have inspired me to give a brief report of things as I see them from Chicago. I live so close to 7001 N . Clark Street, headquarters of the TRIAD, that I have considered just sticking my head out of the window and shouting these few things over to y ou. I'm at 6151 Winthrop where I enjoy an apartment with my wife, rather than having to share a tent with some Captain and a squadron of mosquitoes. Dealing with some of the Purdue crowd, I might mention that Bob Nichols is out here in Oak Park yet and happily domesticated. The first thing, when I landed here in Chicago a year ago, I ran into Basil Petry down in the catacombs of the Ivanhoe Gardens hot spot. Yes sir, if you want to run into your old friends you've just got to ask yourself, "if I were a brother Acacian in Chicago, where would I go? " So you see, I found Basil. He shoved off a few days later. I believe he was a Seaman First Class at that time. Then a while later I ran into Bob Weaver down in the subway. He was in Army unifor m and about to graduate into a full-fledged medico down here at Gardner General Hospital. I played a little poker with Bill Garten while in Indianapolis a few months ago. He's in good shape and still at Sutton-Garten Company. Johnny Wright wrote me from England on February 27, so I suppose he's in the big scrap in France or will be soon. His address is: Captain John W. Wright, 0-351983, APO No. 230, c / o Postmaster, New York City. As in roommate days at Purdue, I still have a helluva time reading his writing but I'm always happy to hear from him. Concerning the University of Cincinnati fraters, I received a nice letter from Marion Huber the other day which brought me up-to-date. I hope they ean open the- house again soon down there. Jim Hoefling's last letter came to me from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania-156 Barrington Road-but I'm not sure ·where the "super-sleuth" is now until he answers my recent note. So Broadston is at North American. Good for him. Now can someone tell me where Giles Barton is? The last I heard he left Aeronca and went to the West Coast. I would also like to see some reports in this sheet from the individual hands of Jay Ritchie, Jim Tewel, Monty Horst, Will Sanger, and all their contempories of the middle '30 classes.

As for myself, I've been in AAF Mater iel Comma nd business since August, 1941. Up to the middle of last summer we were in Detroit and since then, in Chicago. I am known as Air Service Command Liaison Officer. It's my business to "rideherd" on our AAF contractors in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana to assure adequate production of ground equipment (r efueling trucks, engine heaters, special tools, etc.), flying suits, oxygen masks, parachutes, and all spare parts. It's a helluva job, but I think we're doing some good. A deal of satisfaction comes from knowing tha t these things are frequently pretty impor tan t to some of your pals over there. In January, 1943, I found m yself a tall willowy gal in Detroit and was married. No kids to report. We very much enjoy Chicago and sincerely hope that my old fraters will give us a buzz if in the city. My office is right down in the Loop, 111 W. Jackson, phone--Harrison 6140, and the apartment phone is Briargate 4600. Fraternally, Maurice A. Embertson, Capt. A .C. Cin cinnati '35 Purdue '37 Somewhere in Italy Dear Brothers: The April issue of the Purple Pyramid just arrived. It filled this old Acacian's heart with joy, and many fond memories came back as I read of the doings of so many whom I knew. I always enjoy receiving the Pyramid and knowing that some of you old men are on the job like nobody's business. I haven't come across Bucky Weaver as yet, but I plan to drop in on him one of these days. I am still on the go. The nineteenth of June I will complete eighteen months of overseas service, and I believe I have covered everything from Syria to Ethiopia, and from Africa to my present location This is the twelfth country which I have been in so far, and my mileage is mounting to where it is well above fifty thousand miles. I don't know yet where to place my classification as to age. I have heard of this magic word "thirty-eight" but it seemed to make little difference, for I was only in the States a little over two months when they decided that Uncle Sam couldn't continue overseas without me, and from the present outlook it would appear that I'll come in on the tail end of the word "months," after that phrase "Duration and six months." I mean that I have a chance of even coming back into civilian life on the "period" time which indicates how long we will be around. It seems as if I have been fortunate in seeing many of the world-famous sights as well as serving Uncle Sam again. Three months in Palestine offered me a great opportunity to see every place of Biblical and other historic value. I even tried to walk on the Sea of Galilee as Peter did, but I had too much Chinese rheumatism (lead in my pants) . Carthage, . River Styx, Sphinx, Pyramids, Dead Sea, Mount Sinai, Petra, Addis Ababa, Asmara,

Omdurman, Tunis, Alexandria, Banghasi, Mt. Vesuvius, Rio, and Amman are among a few of the places which I have seen. All I need now is to come home by the way of India, Japan and Australia and I will have covered enough for one ~an. I was in one place where I would inject the tube if I were giving the world an enema. A hello to any of the old gang-and they would have to be old to remember me. As ever, CLIP .

Dear Brothers : Since the March issue of the TRIAD h as just caught up with me, I guess I had better send you my latest address. I stayed with the old outfit for 18 months and with them took part in all the landings in this theatre including Anzio. Personally I was glad to read about the big show in Normandy, and can stand the shock of not being an eye witness this time. Those beach parties can be rough sometimes. I recently took over the job of Division Engineer and command of the combat battalion for one of the fightingest divisions over here, and although the work is quite different from what I was used to, I like it very much. Of course the thing I'm looking forward to most is returning to my family and getting into civilian clothes again. Have received the Legion of Merit and the Silver Star for a couple pieces of business that I got mixed up in. As yet I haven't run across any Acacians during my travels over the hot sands of Africa and the mountains of Sicily and Italy. Hear from Russ Becker and "Jake" Jacobson once in a while. The bull sessions when we get together again from all parts of the world should reveal some of the most astounding lies ever heard. Hope we get this thing wound up and I can see all of you at Homecoming. Sincerely, SHORTY. LT. CoL. C. S . MoNNIER, 0-353106 APO No. 45, New York, N. Y . IUinois )38. Dear Brothers: A copy of the excellent March issue of the TRIAD has been forwarded to me. I was delighted to have it and to have the news of the many men of Acacia who are in the service. I am enclosing a few items which may be of use for your news of alumni. As for myself, I have recently returned from 17 months in North Africa, where I participated in the invasion of the French Moroccan coast on November 8, 1942, as A -4 of the Advanced Echelon in the assault force of the XII Air Support Command. I participated in the planning of all Air Force supplies for the Moroccan move, supervised their loading on the ships of the convoy, rode the convoy overseas, went over the side and down the landing nets into the assault boats, hit the beach under fire, and was charged with getting supplies off the beach and to the

airdromes to meet the scheduled arrival of our aircraft flying in from England and Gibraltar. It was an exciting and interesting time, and everything came off successfully and according to schedule, I am happy to say. At present, I am under orders to report for duty at Headquarters, Army Air Forces, Washington, to enter an entirely new phase of staff and planning work. My permanent address is c/ o B etter Roads Magazine, 173 West Madison Street Chicago 2-mail addressed there will b~ forwarded to me. Thank you again for the TRIAD, which I have enjoyed. Fraternally, Major Gerald C. Ward Wisconsin '26

Dear B1·others : I am now located in India and am sending my change of address for the ·mailing of the TRIAD. Our magazine plays too large a part in the life of an Acacian not to receive the copies no matter how long it takes them to arrive. I am Assistant Theater Education Officer of the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations, attached to Rear Echelon Headquarters as part of the Army's Special Service Section. My job is to promote the off-duty educational opportunities of the Army through the United States Armed Forces Institute, and through classes established in subjects that the men ask for. Brother C. S . Monnier, Ill. '38, has recently been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. He is with the Engineers in Italy. In his last letter to me he mentioned that he had received a recent issue of the TRIAD.

California Reports Progress The House Corporation of California Chapter feels that a short statement of the general conditions prevailing at the Chapter House might be of interest to alumni readers of the TRIAD. Consequently, we have compiled the following report. California Chapter of Acacia (House Corporation) reports with pride that we are one of only three houses that have survived the rigors of wartime conditions and that remain in operation, not as boarding houses, but as fraternities. Active members and House Corporation have collaborated closely to bring about this happy result. Now we have seventeen men in the house and anticipate a few more prospects in the next week or two. Our Chinese chef, Kim Gee, is well liked by the boys and a good table is being set, consistent with rationing restrictions. We are in good financial condition. This is attributed very largely to the efforts of R. B. Tippett, who was engaged by the active chapter on the advice of the House Corporation, in October, 1941. At that time "Tip" was cashier in one of our leading local banks. Since that time he has moved up to the position of cashier of the University of California. He is highly esteemed, and his sage wisdom on frater-

nal affairs has been of great value. He operates an accounting system for the actives and renders monthly reports to the House Corporation. The tendency toward looseness in payment of house bills, sometimes encountered by house managers in years past, has surely struck a snag with "Stonewall Tippett." All concerned now realize that if Acacia is to progress its fiscal policy must be sound and well administered. "Tip" h as paid off bills that have been haunting us for years, and , not only that, he has made substantial pay ments to reduce our indebtedness to the National Fraternity. All current bills are being paid and rent is being collected by the House Corporation with clock-like regularity, enabling us to service our mortgage monthly when due, and to accumulate a small surplus for repairs and reh abilitation of plant. Adolph "Dolph" Weber was instrumental in securing "Tip." Dolph has been tireless in his efforts for the welfare of the active chapter, and for the improvement of the property. It was he who conducted the campaign for funds which brought us a much-needed new roof a few years ago ; this is only one item among his many accomplishments. His son, Bob, also h as been a lea der as will be shown later. The House Corporation meets the second Sunday of each month at the Chapter House, 2340 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley, and invites all interested alumni to visit at that time. Those in usual attendance are : Adolph Weber, Fred Hofer, Herman Hiller, "Tip" Tippett, Ed Touraine and the active management-at present Dennis Hallowell, V.D., and Ed Aiken, House Manager. Hallowell is a strong and valued leader. Aiken not only collects the house bills and maintains close liaison with "Tip," but also has a flair for fixing up the place as evidenced by his handiwork. The plaster escutcheon on the front of the building has been treated to a new coat of copper bronze paint; the massive front door has been scraped, stained and revarnished, and all brass fittings polished until they shine like new. Bob Weber's efforts in repainting the entire upstairs interior, with the help of Vic Duggar, were reported by George Croyle in the October-December issue of the TRIAD. Bob became ill shortly after completing the work, was hospitalized and lost a semester in college. Doubtless his condition was aggravated by the very large program undertaken in behalf of Acacia. Bob has just returned from the East, and all of us are glad to see him. Without attempting to delve into history and make the list of helpful Acacians complete, the House Corporation wishes to thank Bancroft "Ban" Nelson, now U.S.N., Phoenix, Arizona, for his work in revising the heating system in the chapter house. Radiators which long had been idle now are nearly busting a blood vessel keeping the house warm as toast. "Ban" remodeled the old coal furnace so that now it burns natural gas with full automatic operation including thermostats (Continued on page 89)

The Triad, May , 1944

<Doings California Although our chapter consists at present of eight actives and four alumni, we are hopeful for the future and are planning for a full house next semester. During the past four months we have lost four men to the armed forces; three of them are at Great Lakes Naval Training Station and will begin radio training shortly. Despite the fact that a low enrollment is expected in July, we are confident of being able to fill the house since we have made arrangements to have two of our men working at registration. Thus we will have the chance to survey the entire field of prospective rushees, but we will have the competition of the Pi K A's and the Theta Delts, who will also be employed in the same capacity. The sudden revocation of 2-A draft classifications was the cause of our losing Bill McCutchan, our lanky ex-V.D. and present Junior Dean, and also Hugh Friend, one-time house manager and, until now, Senior Dean. It was also indirectly responsible for the departure of Bob "Moldy" Peck, who, by reason of his exceptional scholastic ability, would have certainly been deferred upon reaching his eighteenth birthday. Our social activities were many and varied this semester, especially toward the last, ranging from dances to a banquet and even to a lecture by a psychiatrist on The Problem. We held several informal house dances, where we tripped the light fantastic to the excellent music of Harry James, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and other top-flight recording artists on the phonograph, and at which we were served very good refreshments prepared by our cook, Kim. On April 22, we held a very successful birthday banquet which was attended by over forty alumni, members, and pledges. The after-dinner speaker was Linsley Grissett, a student of entomology, who had just returned to the United States aboard the exchange liner " Gripsholm" after many months' internment by the Japanese in Occupied China. He told of his experiences in the Far East both before and after internment. Previous to this, on March 31, we participated in an informal seminar conducted at the house by Dr. Morrison, a prominent San Francisco consulting psychiatrist. The discussion was both interesting and enlightening. On May 21, a number of us held the traditional spring picnic in beautiful Tilden Park on the eastern slope of the renowned Berkeley hills, where we basked in the sun all day and swam in limpid Lake Anza. Two weeks ago we had a very busy week end indeed. On June 9 we had our pledge dinner and formal dance. The dinner was held at the house and from there we proceeded to the Hotel Claremont, where we danced to the music of Russ Morgan and his orchestra. Early the next morning the pledges were rudely awakened from a blissful sleep to begin their twenty-hour work day, during which they

the Chapters

cleaned the house from top to bottom, washed all the dishes from the night before, weeded the back yard, mowed the front lawn, washed out the garage and driveway, hashed for the Pi Phi buffet supper which was held at our house that evening, dusted all the books in the chapter library, and cleaned up after the Pi Phi's had come back and left again. Then, at about three o'clock in the morning, we thoroughly ( oh, yeah?) searched the boys to relieve them of their money and took them out on the traditional ride, this time to a lonely country road in neighboring Contra Costa county, only six miles from Berkeley, due to the gasoline situation. However, they did walk most of the way back. At eleven Sunday morning initiation began. We initiated Clifford Bob "Meade Lux" Lewis, J. Ned "Irish" Shaw, Harold E. "Hal" Granquist, and S / Sgt. Golder DeWitt, AAF. By the time the initiation was over we were all rather tired, but unfortunately we were unable to retire early because of the proximity of final exams. We initiated Lloyd "Fogey" Harris on the evening of May 19, as he was awaiting call into the Navy and was anxious to become a member before leaving. About six weeks ago the pledges of Zeta Tau Alpha1 a nearby sorority, had their "pledge sneak" and printed some mock invitations to dinner and dancing at the ZTA house. These they gave to Ned Shaw, one of our pledges, who distributed them among us, and we proceeded to their house almost en masse . Surprised indeed were the actives when they saw us and our invitations, but not nearly as much as they were after they had discovered that their pledges had absconded with the cook and the food. But we pressed the point, so they consented to take us out to dinner. After a delicious steak (!) dinner we returned to ZTA where we spent the ensuing three or four hours dancing. Many lasting friendships were made that night, a fact evinced by the showing of ZTA's and Acacians at each other's dances since then. Election of new officers was held on June 12. George Croyle was made Venerable Dean; Clark Smith, Senior Dean ; Bob Lewis, Junior Dean; Ed Aiken, House Manager (re-elected); Ned Shaw, Secretary ; and John MacKenzie, Sentinel and TRIAD Correspondent. Installation will take place at the beginning of the new semester. During the first half of the past semester Acacia was at the top of the intramural baseball league, but due to our decreasing numbers and the illness of our star pitcher we found it necessary to withdraw from further competition, after playing almost no-hit games against Sigma Phi, Alpha Delta Phi, and three dormitories. Service Notes: William A . "McCutch" McCutchan, Hubert "Hughie" Friend, and Robert C. "Moldy" Peck are at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Stanton R. " Smitty" Smith, who was inducted into the Army on the afternoon of our last pledge dance, was stationed in

Oregon when we last heard from him. S / Sgt. Golder De Witt is home after twenty-six bombing missions over Germany and East Prussia. Golder, who is turret gunner on the Flying Fortress, "Duffy's Tavern," has received the D.F.C. as well as other decorations, and has some interesting experiences to recount. A / S W. Reed ÂˇKeyes has finished his V-12 training this month and will leave the bay area soon for Midshipmen's School. We are looking forward to seeing him in another four months in the uniform of an ensign. Flight Officer George "Slip" Martin is stationed in this vicinity and is a visitor at the house very frequently. Second Lieutenant Emory Thomas is also seen quite often around the house as he, too, is stationed nearby. George "The Beast" Robson has received his orders and is reporting to the V-12 unit here at the University of California on July 1. GEORGE " THE BEAST" ROBSON

Cincinnati Cincinnati Acacians will learn with interest of the dedication of the new Herman Schneider Memorial Building on March 13 by Charles F. Kettering. The building is located on East McMillan Street near Woodlawn, and was contributed to the engineering societies by a group of local industrialists. The University of Cincinnati recently celebrated its one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary. The Cincinnati Law College was chartered January 22, 1819, and opened May 4 of the same year. The Medical College opened November 1, 1820. In 1870 it was made the country's first municipal university. Cincinnati Acacians mourn the loss of Karl P . Klenk, one of the charter members, who died at the Dayton, Ohio, Veterans' Hospital on May 5, 1944. Memmorial services were held at Tiffin, Ohio, on May 9. W. Clem Zinck has opened an engineering consulting office at 546 Illinois Building, Indianapolis, Indiana. Pledge Lt. Warren Woirol, pilot on a P -47 Thunderbolt, declared that the English Channel swarmed with small craft hell-bent for France. He was amazed at the huge size of the Armada.

Ed hopes for a higher endorsement from a congressmanat-large. Editor Jack Erwin visited Cincinnati on June 14, and had dinner at the Hotel Metropole with Marion Huber and Cecil Haas.

88 all service men have disappeared from the campus along with the induction of more Acacians. New additions to Uncle Sam's fighting forces are: Neal Webster, Navy; Warren Stevens, Navy; Jim Gre~ne , Navy ; Jake Ruch, Army (I.U. medical school); Tom Baker, V-12; Bill Shanks, Navy ; Bill Scholl, Army Air Corps, and Otis Young, Army. One man, recently discharged from service, has returned to the campus and the halls of Acacia. He is AI Lohse, a five-year veteran of the Navy. Lohse took part in four decisive battles of the South Pacific which included the South and Central Solomon offensives. Early in February our winter formal, the " Colonnade," came off smartly. The decorations, orchestra, and evening were perfect and immensely enjoyed by everyone present. Shortly after the "Colonnade" the new pledges bowed down to "Yellow Dog," and not a few actives came out with sore muscles, all due to violent swinging movements. Then came March with that ancient and honored tradition, the Goat Dinner. Not only the goat, but also the actives, pledges, and a certain chaperon were roasted thoroughly. Also in March a fine tea dance with the Alph Chis was greatly enjoyed. As the semester approached its close, two men became very nervous over their future. These were Charles Jarrett and Bob Gemmer who were ready for that big leap from college to the competing world. They are now bravely facing same with a sheepskin in hand. Jarrett is employed as a junior accountant at Igleheart's mill in Evansville, while Gemmer is doing social work in Indianapolis. At the opening of the new semester rushing began, and to date we have seven pledges. They include: Tim Lilly, A.S. dental school, Washington; Norman Kreig, Fort Wayne; Bob Reed, East Chicago; Max Freeman, Somerset; Eugene Oliver, Dupont; Bob Williams, Marion, and Bob Robertson, Roachdale. Rush was quickly followed by initiation, and the Indiana chapter now has seven new Acacians. They are Lowell Steen, Wendall Muller, Leon Gordon, Stewart Wilson, James Roderick, Richard Peed, and Dr. Charles H. Skinner of the physics department who was made a faculty member. New officers were elected and the long Latham regime was terminated when Charles Millspaugh was elected V .D. Bill Thompson is Senior Dean; Lowell Steen, Secretary; Leon Dunkin still reigns as Treasurer; Bill Ritchie, Senior Steward; and Thompson fills the rest of the offices with others alternating at times. I.U. Acacia is still moderately engaged in athletics. Bill Thompson carries the colors on the links, engaging other Big Ten teams in the grand old game of golf. Plans are under consideration for intramural softball and tennis teams. A softball game with the Tri Delts is scheduled for the very near future and will be played via the handicap system. In other words, the boys will bat and throw lefthanded and run backwards. As the old saying goes, "In the spring a y oung man's fancy lightly turns . . . etc." It's true here as everywhere. Two triangles have strayed from their usual resting places. They formerly belonged to Chuck Millspaugh and John Montgomery and may now be found on the

bosoms of Betty Blackiston and Jody El~ lington, respectively. Both are Ch1 Omegas. With the coming of summer, our first social function was a picnic at McCormick's Creek State Park. The customary picnic food, poison ivy and insects, was partaken of freely by all on hand. Ot~er summer activities are in the offing w1th tentative plans for a rush dance being mulled over at present. Of course the quarry pools are doing a rushing business at this time, and they vie with our roof as favorite sun-bathing sites. I.U. Acacia is still carrying on, and we slose with best wishes to all and luck to you men in service. I am now back in school and everything is functioning quite well, thank you. " JOCKEY"

Michigan "Oh, Mother Chapter, Strong and True, Michigan Acacia" is still carrying on here at 1923 Geddes despite the fact that two more have answered calls to the armed services this month. Two civil engineering graduates, Tom Clough and Carroll Brown, have left the center room vacant and are to be inducted into the Army. Hank Hosmer is in training at Camp Siebert, Alabama. Second Lieutenant Richard (Gus) Widman has graduated from O.C.S. at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and is now studying at Harvard. Pfc. John Wunch is at Camp Crowder awaiting orders to a Signal Corps school. These seem to be the only members in uniform with whom we are in contact, as we are having the same trouble as the other chapters. Let this be a call to members of our chapter in the services to send us their addresses for we want to keep in touch with you all. Three dances and a beer party highlighted the social events this semester. The first was the blackout party held here May 2. Boy, was it fun! The second was the fifteenth annual Slide Rule Ball held on May 9. Acacians present were Warren Shelley, Paul Pospisil, El Kennedy, Tom Clough, Bill Clark, Bob Bald, Bill Pierson and Bob Wood. Dancing was to the fine music of Jan Savitt. Before the dance Alpha Tau Omega, the fraternity sharing our house, and Acacia gave a dinner in honor of the pledges. The thirty-three couples surrounded the huge table and made a very impressive group singing our songs. The beer party was to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the Mother Chapter of Acacia and was held at the traditional hangout of Michigan MEN, the P -Bell. Turning the spotlight on the actives in the house, ex-V.D . Warren Shelley will be married on June 24 in the Michigan League chapel. Also on June 24, Elbert Kennedy will be a recipient of the coveted sheepskin, and will concentrate his E.E. talents in the Navy. Paul Pospisil will remain in the grad school to take care of the house this summer, as well as of Miss Milli Weeks of 1928 Geddes. Stu Wunch, alias T. D ., our top man on the totem pole in scholarship, will work in Dearborn, Michigan, this summer. Bill

Clark who was engaged recently to Miss Carolyn Reese, is still in a daze, as he hasn't noticed yet that his name plate is on the door along with the other seniors. Brother Kelso was up for the latest initiation and may possibly return to school this summer. Gene Sherry was here one week end several weeks ago, and will return to attend Warren's marriage June 24. The last heard of Herb Smith was that he was at Indiantown Gap, New York, in the Infantry. Alumnus Carroll Collins from Charlotte, Michigan, was passing through Ann Arbor last week and honored us with a visit. By the way, if any of you alumni know of friends or relatives who contemplate coming to Michigan, their names would be greatly appreciated. The new officers for the coming semester are Paul Pospisil, V.D., Bill Pierson, S.D., Bob Bald, J.D. and social chairman, and Ward Opdyke, secretary-treasurer. Due to the war, three initiations were held this semester, the latest being that of Ward Opdyke who really got the works. WARD OPDYKE

Minnesota A recent issue of the campus magazine referred to our chapter as the "alleged madhouse on Fifth Street." A wedding, a feud with the Pi Beta Phis, campus politics, "Hell-Week," and our annual canoe trip up the St. Croix river substantiate this accusation. The spring quarter got off to a "bang" during the first week in April when Bob Wilcoxon, Bob Fulton, Bob Stark, and Lauren Smith were initiated into the chapter. Their pledge play was reported to be the most ribald and the best in a long time. At the next meeting of the active chapter Bill Peterson, Army Dent. '45, was elected Venerable Dean, while Stan Von Drashek was chosen as Senior Dean, Junior Hammett as Junior Dean, Bob Wilcoxon as Secretary, and "Gus" Neubauer as Treasurer. However, the Army and graduation have stepped into the picture. At the last meeting Bob Wilcoxon became Treasurer and Lauren Smith, Secretary. Junior Hammett resigned as J.D., but that position has not yet been filled due to the end of the quarter. After getting our own chapter offices in shape for the coming year, we found that campus elections were scheduled for April 19. Dick Hammel, retiring V .D., was one of the big guns of the Progressive Party. But, unfortunately for our unity and "bull sessions," the house was split over party issues. At the last moment the house went Progressive. We found that Bill Peterson was re-elected to the Board of Publications, and that he was later elected treasurer of that body. Meanwhile, AI Dreher had been elected the new business manager of the Minnesota Daily. When AI appeared before the Board of Publications, Charles Rock, fac ulty adviser, asked him if he were a member of the Acacia Fraternity. Al hesitated and finally said, "Yes." Mr. Rock laughed and told him that membership in the Minnesota chapter was a prerequisite for the job. Files show that for the past fifteen years every Daily business

The Triad_, May , 1944 manager has been a member of our chapter. After elections we tried to settle down to prepare for midquarters. Bud Gabrielson, '43, wandered in with an ensign's commission and married Bev. Blackwood on April 29. We have also heard that Bill Sutherland, '42, was married on May 6. Then came the Founders' Day banquet which was held at the Curtis Hotel. Some twenty-five alumni turned up, and that week Dale Mciver, '43, came back looking very handsome in his brand new ensign's uniform. M. C. Seska spoke on the war in the Pacific. He is a discharged veteran and has seen action on Guadalcanal. The feud with the Pi Phis has been going on all quarter. It seems that a few years ago some lovesick brother wrote a song toasting the girls of Pi Beta Phi. During the intervening years, the words have been changed so that we now toast the girls of "I Felta Thigh." Unfortunately a Pi Phi with a good memory heard the new version and so the feud began. The Pi Phis had our triangle sign in their house for several weeks, while we had a miscellany of quickly acquired trophies, pictures and yearbooks. Then AI Dreher and Brock Holmes, after praying that no one would find out, hastened to the Pi Phi house, invaded the seco:Qd floor hiding place, and returned with the sign. They are still in school. AI though the feud officially ended with the return of the Pi Phi trophies on May 21, guerrilla feudin' still continues. On Cap and Gown Day we gathered at Convocation to hear our own Bobby Carlson, president of the senior class, present the senior class. Everyone agreed that he had a lovely voice . . . . Bob Stark was rushed away to have an appendectomy, but is now back with u s. . . . The last issue of Ski-U-Mah named Bob Carlson and Dick Hammel as B.M.O.C .'s. . . . and last night Bud Storrs officially pinned Marcia Rauls. They are both from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The canoe trip was held Saturday, May 27, at Marine, Minnesota. Everyone got sunburned; everyone got tired of pad-. dling; a few took an unexpected plunge into the St. Croix, but all had a fine time, except Junior Hammett. He had four flat tires on the way out and has been mourning since Saturday. Pledging has continued throughout the quarter, terminating with the pledging of Bob Powell a half hour before the canoe trip began. Our pledge class includes Brock Holmes, Bill Dreher, Jim Trier, Jim Stark, Jerry Compton, Burt Wing, and Bob Powell. We also have two alums staying at the house-Duane Norby, '43, and Loiel "Pete" Ryan of the Northwestern Chapter. The one gloomy spot is, as it has been all year, the loss of men through graduation and the draft. This quarter we lose " Gus" Neubauer and Bob Carlson via the graduation route. Bud Storrs, Jim Stark, Bob Biddick, Jim Jensen and Junior Hammett are waiting to be "pledged" to the Army or Navy this summer. We shall also lose John Dablow who will receive his ensign's commission in June. Most of those men going into the armed services plan to return after the war. However, those men who are in the service still keep in contact with us. We have received many letters including one from Frank Livingston, '42, now in New

89 Caledonia, and some of them come down to see us when they're on furlough. Most recent to come back are Connie Blomberg, '46; Ensign Norm Sabee, '44, and Gordy Anderson, '46. TOM CLARESON

Northwestern Greetings again to all the brethren from the remnants of the Northwestern Chapter. The demon draft director has again hit the chapter since our last report so that we are now down to less than a dozen men. However, we anticipate reversing this trend "immejutly." Big rushing activities are the order of the month by Rushing Chairman Will Boyes who has been organizing in a big way of late to get some of the better boys of the crop entering in the summer months. The prospects look good and we plan to keep right on pitchin'. At the first rushing dinner of the summer we rounded up a number of alums who contributed to the success of the dinner. Brother MacDougall, who is currently the Democratic nominee for congressman, told us hqw lousy the other side · is, while National President Kolbe predicted how much better the Republicans could do the job. Jack Erwin sold the boys on Acacia, after which everyone adjourned to "Sally's" for refreshments and songs. New officers have been elected since our last report: Bill Friedrichs, Venerable Dean; Don Dickinson, Senior Dean; Phil Whidden, Junior Dean; Bill Ross, Secre · tary; and Will Boyes, Treasurer. The chapter had one lone graduate to offer this spring, Frank Phalen, our exSenior Dean, ex-Treasurer, and ex-Steward, received his diploma as an electrical engineer and promptly left for the Signal Corps as an exalted private. In between, Frank and Bill Ross went back-to-nature in Minnesota and stopped for a couple of days to enjoy the hospitality of the Minnesota chapter. Several pins have escaped their owners recently. Bill Friedrichs and Dick Powers have made contributions to the A.O.Pi's collections, while Phil Whidden seems to have become the dream man of a certain blonde Chi 0 . News of the alums: Marsh Burmeister is stationed at the Naval Research Lab. in Washington; Dick Bogan is climbing poles at Camp Crowder; Jack Plattner is at Camp Hood, Texas, walking fourteen miles a day ; and the latest report from Neal Leach discloses that he is in New Guinea as a cargo checker. Also the grapevine says that Pete Ryan will leave the bachelor class sometime soon-will wonders never cease? Northwestern Acacians were particularly shocked and saddened by a recent tragedy. Christopher Nims, 2¥2-year-old son of Bill and Letha Nims, was killed by a North Western streamliner in Evanston, three-and-a-half blocks from his home. The child had apparently ·c lambered up the embankment on which the track runs and was struck by the train traveling at high speed. Bill Nims is Counsellor of Men at Northwestern and he and Letha have chaperoned Acacia parties from way back and have been staunch friends of

the chapter. They have an older child, Bruce, age six. We have some weddings to report: Ensign Jack T. Kroner and Virginia Love were married in Miami, Florida, on April 15. Lieut. George A. Heinemann and Jacqueline Holsinger were married on July 8 in River Forest, and on the same day Jack Er.:Vin's brother, Ensign Bill Erwin, will be married in Miami Beach, Florida, to Virginia Kacere, of New York. Two sisters of Acacians were married recently, and on the same day. Valerie Adams, sister of John Adams, was married June 24 in Vancouver, B . C., to John A . McLaren, and Violet Perry, sister of Harry Perry, was married in Evanston to C. Earl Spanjer. We have news from Bob Webster S 1/c. He is stationed at Great Lakes for a few weeks and hates being "so near and yet so far" away. He expects to go to radio school in Chicago for a few months after boot training. The last we heard from William B. Miller, Northwestern '41 , he was somewhere in England. By this time he may be taking part in the invasion. We hope to have news of more brothers soon. BILL Ross

California Reports Progress (Concluded from page 85) and safety features. It is men like these, and many others not mentioned, that are going to develop and improve the local Acacia organization. In closing, may we say we believe the financial dog days of the California Chapter are now at an end and the future looks bright indeed. May we also say that if this article comes to the attention of any alumnus whose House Corporation pledge payments have been neglected, Herman Hiller, very able House Corporation Treasurer, woulq be glad to receive any amounts, however small. Address him at 2840 Russell Street, Berkeley, California. Be assured that California Chapter is a long way from being a "dead horse." We are definitely moving forward. Edgar J. Touraine, '29 President House Corporation.

These Men Honor Their Country and Fraternity Relatives and friends of Acacia servicemen are requested to mail to the Nationa l Hea dquarters 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 who are stationed on the North American continent 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. This w ill do much to keep the men in touch with the Fr aternity and enable them to get in touch with men located in the same camp or station.
