THE TRIAD OF ACACIA FRATERNITY

Dear Jerry : When you receive this letter you should be only a few hours short of being Pvt. Jerry Smith. Although by Army standards I am certainly not a veteran, I think I can tell you a little about the Army that it takes a lot of mistakes to learn.

First, don't ever think that to be one of the boys or a real soldier you have to drink more than the next man, play poker until reveille, and spend your money fastest on a pass. A good soldier isn't a canteen commando, and he _~;hows how good he is on the other side with his rifle, not with sevens and elevens.

Not many inductees try to be soldiers any more. Somehow they feel that the fighting is over, but don't believe it. Your life will still depend on how straight you shoot and how well you learned judo.

The Japs don't believe it's over. Some of your buddies may say you are "bucking," but don't mind them as long as you don 't think that you are hurting your buddies or spoiling their fun. At that point you must stop and be one of them. Just try your darndest to be a good soldier-never try to be a non-com when still a private.

And you may think you know how to swear! Well you don't, but when you start to pick up some of the new terms you will run across, just remember that no non-com or officer is ever permitted to swear, and some day you may be wanting those stripes.

Another thing, never pay any attention to rumors in the Army. Every latrine is a twenty-four hour rumor factory, and the first hole will contradict the second and none will agree. Just wait it out, and after many weeks of one rumor and another, eventually something entirely different will happen.

Don't wait for some promised "good deal." If you have a chance to get something good, grab it-it never pays to wait.

Don't forget to- s~gn up for a bond a month. That money will come in handy after the war, and you will only spend it and forget it here.

Keep your eye on the duty roster-the top kick doesn't like to have men forget to show up for K. P .

Good Luck, JOHN.

Financing the Veteran's Return to the Classroom methods by means of which the nation's colleges and universities-public and private-may assess tuition and other charges for · veterans who have elected to return to the classrooms are outlined in a service letter to Veterans Administration officials, issued recently by Brig.

Gen. Frank T. Hines, Administrator of V etera·n s' Affairs. These provisions are set up under Title II of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, for veterans of the present war.

The policies outlined are based upon the recommendations of a special committee created to study veterans' problems relating to vocation rehabilitation, education and training. The committee comprises the following educators: Dr. Horace S. Ford, treasurer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; Dr. Rufus C. Harris, president, Tulane University ; Dr. Robert G. Sproul, president, University of California, and Dr. Robert B. Stewart, controller, Purdue University. This group held its first sessions in Washington, D. C., September 7, 8 and 9.

The committee recommended that the policies now outlined in General Hines' service letter be approved until additional and more particular information may be available. The group also recommended that a complete tabulation of the established fees of all colleges and universities be accumulated in the central office of the Veterans Administration.

A general summary of methods by which regional offices of the Veterans Administration may determine payment to colleges and universities follows: 1. The college (through its bursar, treasurer or comptroller) will charge the Veterans Administration exactly the same tuition, library, health, infirmary and other standard fees that are assessed against any student who pursues the particular course o{ training.

The institution may ask for tuition payments for a full-time veteran trainee at the same time these are requested of other students. These charges must be not less than $10 per month, $30 per quarter or $40 per ·semester.

2. State and municipal colleges and universities are permitted to assess fees identical to those charged for nonresident students at the rate in effect prior to June 22, 1944. These fees also are to be paid by the Veterans Administration at the time and rate normally requested of other students. The

E

XACT

charges must be not less than $10 per month, $30 per quarter or $40 per semester.

3. All provisions for payment are subject to the provision of the law that such payments may not be in excess of $500 for an ordinary school year in respect to any person. This maximum $500 fee must cover tuition, laboratory, library, health, infirmary and other established prerequisite fees. None of this money may be used or charged for board, lodging or transportation.

4. Veterans who wish to concentrate their education by speed-up methods by attending classes on a year-round basis are permitted to do this. Thus,

if a veteran completes a four-year course in three years, the college may receive tuition for the program at the rates charged for four years. General Hines' service letter explains this de.cision as follows: "The 'ordinary school year' is defined as a period of two semesters or three quarters-not less than thirty nor more than thirty-eight weeks in total length. Under this definition an institution may be paid as much as $500 for each 'ordinary school year' which is completed, regardless of the time required for such completion. Thus $500 might be paid for each of four 'ordinary school years' which are completed within three twelve-month periods."

Approximately 10,000 veterans have applied for training under the p7·ovisions of Title II, the Veterans Administration repo,-ts. Already 5,600 men have been determined to be

eligible and are p1·obably waiting fo1· the opening of the new college year.

Exactly 422 a1·e now in training.

* * * The text of General Hines' letter is as follows: Subject: Payments to Institutions of Collegiate Grade for Education or Training.

Pursuant to the provisions contained in the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, Title II, approved .June 22, 1944, (Part order to carry out the purposes of paragraph 12 of the Veterans Administration Service Letter, Administrator's Office, dated July 1, 1944, as it affects institutions of collegiate grade subject "Preliminary instructions fo; institutin~ the program for education and training under ·Part VIII of Veterans Regulation 1 (a), as amended-Public 346, 78th Congress" and of such Act as construed by Administrator's Decision No. 580, dated August 24, 1944, subject, "Whether under Public No. 16 and Public No. 346, 78th Congress, there is authority to pay a charge for instruction of a trainee in excess of that paid by other students for identical courses of instructions,") the following instructions are hereby issued for the guidance of all concerned: 1.

Amplifications and Ad Lib Including a Kitchen Sink It seems that from now on it would be inappropriate to say that they are dropping "everything but the kitchen sink" on the Japs on various bombing skirmishes. The Fifth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific reports that on arecent mission, Capt. Max H. Mortensen, Champaign, Illinois, piloted his bomber, "Rita's Wagon," over enemy territory and dropped everything, including a kitchen sink, on the target. It seems that the kitchen sink was taken along as a gag and was celebrating Mortensen's eighty - ninth bombing mission.

Fraternity Secretaries Meet The annual meeting of the College Fraternity Secretaries' Association and of the College Fraternity Editors' Association will be held at the Commodore Hotel, New York City, on Wednesday, November 22, prior to the annual meeting of the National InterFraternity Conference to be held Friday and Saturday of that week. Situations involving public relations of college fraternities with universities and the public will be dscussed along wth proposed postwar trends of the fraternity system in anticipation of the returning serviceman. Particular attention will be given to the needs of the servicemen, as the place of the college fraternity plays an outstanding role in the life of university men.

Some Difference

cians from the campus at Pullman should take their hats off to Brother Jacobs for the fine job he is doing for them in anticipation of their early return to college life.

Politeness A polite man is one who listens with interest to things he knows all about, when they are told him by a person who knows nothing about them.

Father to Son Dear Son: I just read in the paper that students who don't smoke make better grades than those who do.

Love, Dad Dear Dad: I have thought about it. But truthfully, I would rather make a "B" and

have the enjoyment; in fact I would rather smoke and drink and make a "C." Furthermore, I would rather smoke and drink and neck and make a "D." Love, Sonny Dear Son: I'll break your neck if you flunk anything.

The next project will be the renovating and replastering of the entire kitchen. The basement unfinished area is also being improved by excavating the dirt to a lower grade line and the installation of drainage tile. If the things materialize, they plan to construct a cement-floored room finished in knotty pine which will be suitable for cards and billiards. Louis Koue, California '28, practicing architect, is in charge and is doing a solid and commendable job at a very reasonable figure . George Croyle, V.D., and Ed Aiken, House Manager, are seeing to it that the workmen complete the various jobs without too much interference.

5 tions dated July 1, 1944. Payments will be made at the end of each term, semester, or quarter on submission of a voucher by the institution to the manager of the regional office c;:ertifying to the actual cost of such books, supplies, equipment and other expenses for each veteran and also certifying that the material has been delivered to the trainee and that the institution has evidence of such delivery and of such expenditures on hand and available for the inspection of the Veterans Administration.

2. All provisions for payment above stated are subject to the provision of the law that such payment may not be paid in excess of $500 for an ordinary school year in respect to any . ~erson.

3. The "ordinal:y school year" is defined as a period of two semesters or three

quarters-not less than thirty nor more than thirty-eight weeks in total length.

Under this definition an institution may be paid as much as $500 for each "ordinary school year" which is completed, regardless of the time required for such completion. Thus $500 might be paid for each of four "ordinary school years" which are completed within three twelvemonth periods.

4. The approved institutions in your territory will be informed of the provisions of Public 346, Section 1505, which require that any benefits received by or paid for any veteran under this Act shall be charged against and deducted from any adjusted compensation to which he may be hereafter entitled under any future legislation.

Acacians

the World Over With the exception of graduates in the past few years, the designation of the chapter and year of Acacians referred to in these news of alumni indicates the year in which the membe1¡ was initiated into the Fraternity.

K.illed In France Captain WlifordHarry Brown, Michigan '40, was killed in action in France on August 19, according to the official

Wilford entered the Army on June 4 1941 and took his basic training at Fort sill, Oklahoma, followed by an officer candidate course. He received his commission from Fort Sill Field Artillery School on February 11, 1942, and then instructed for about a year.

While stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, Bill (then a first lieutenant) was appointed to serve on both the special and general court martial boards of the area. After six months in desert maneuvers near Camp Granite, California, as head of an observation unit, he was sent to England in October, 1943. He served in France with the invasion forces from D-day, and his positio~ as captain of an Observation Battalion in the Field Artillery was particularly hazardous.

Brother Brown was born and reared in Crown Point, Indiana, and graduated with honors from the Crown Point High School in May, 1936. He entered the School of Business Administration at the University of Michigan in September, 1936, and received his A.B. degree in June, 1940. He joined the Acacia Fratemity in October, 1938, and served the chapter in an official capacity during his senior year.

To the Honor Roll of Acacia we add the name of another hero who has served his country with courage and distinction.

After graduating from the Academy in June, 1934, he worked in the Camden Wire Mill for two years. Then he received a scholarship to the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University, from which school he graduated with honors in June, 1940. In college he was in R.O.T.C., was on the staff of Knot Hole, the Forestry paper, and served both as a director and afterward as First Vice-President of the Forestry Club. While a Junior he won the Pack Memorial Prize for the best essay on Forestry. He was initiated in October, 1938, being one of the first group of pledges when the chapter reorganized in April, 1938, after being inactive for several years.

Myles enlisted on December 19, 1940, the first boy from his home city of Utica to be accepted as an Air Cadet, and was continuously in the service of his country until his death.

Becomes War Ace

CAPT. KENNETH J . SORACE Cornell '40

from Ithaca High School in 1936 and received his degree in Electrical Engineering at Cornell University in 1940.

He was initiated into Acacia in 1938.

While at Cornell he was active in several bands and orchestras. Ken entered service in September, 1941, and went overseas as a first lieutenant in August, 1943. Flying with the oldest operational P-38 Fighter Group in England he has made more than 100 missions over Germany, France and other countries, and was squadron leader of the first Amerian fighter group to make a combat flight over Berlin. He was reported missing thirty miles northwest of Paris after a severe battle with enemy aircraft in which they shot down all twelve planes of the attack force. Ken then radioed his squadron to leave fo; home without him as his gas tank had been hit and he could not cross the channel and would hav~ to la~d. His men say he was one of the best of flyers. He has received the Air Medal with at least three Oak Clusters, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

In May, Ken married Miss Nancy Narten of Shaker Heights, Ohio, who is a director of the Red Cross Fliers' Club in England. His parents;- Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Sorace, reside at 1108 Plymouth Avenue, South, Rochester, N.Y.

Lieut. William J . Masoner, Jr., Northwestern '39 of Riverside, Illinois, recently shot down three Jap planes in a fighter melee. In a general dogfight Masoner disposed of three bringing his total to five planes, making h~ an ace.

Bill, who got his first pair of enemy planes at Guadalcanal in June, 1943, said: "The first thing I saw was three Zekesgoingdowninflames. My division joined the scrap. After a while it was just a question of flying around. They were damned good today."

Masoner tagged his third Japanese in a tense head-on run. As the Jap neared his Hellcat, he could see "engines flashing and my bullets hitting."

He ~hought the Japanes flyer would give way as another had earlier. But he didn't until the planes almost collided. Then the Nipponese flipped over smoking. The pilot bailed out.

The U. S. Carrier reporting this engagement oft; Formosa told how fourteen Hellcats tangled with a large force of Japanese planes and destroyed thirty-two of them without American loss. ¡

and took it to the camp, he was directed to a building which turned out to be truly for "the men who were not able to go to the barber"- the guardhouse!

Recent r equests which have b een filled after a little br ow-knitting include one skeleton "in good condition," hair dr yers for WACs and WAVES musical instr uments, washing rna ~ chines, ironing boards and electr ic irons; altar cloths and r eligious items for post chapels and ships, hundreds of safety razors, furnishings for rest camps, and recreation and emergency items.

In His Hands Planning to see that postwar plans of American business do not violate the letter of the antitrust laws, Assistant Attorney General Wend ell Berge, Nebraska '24, is said to swing the country's most potent business bludgeon through the Department of Justice.

In the September 2 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, Lester Velie tells what is in store for the American businessman in his article, "They Want to Save Capitalism-They Say!" Speaking of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, Velie says: "The uninvited among a formidable array of planners, this Federal agency is there on a policing job. It sees its job as preventing the planners from planning away the competition from the capitalist system. No planner itself, Antitrust plays a key role in everybody else's

Heads Boston Red Cross Meeting the needs of servicemen in the Boston area, is the Camp and Hospital Council of the American Red Cross. Life to this group is practically one treasure hunt after another with the smiling thanks of servicemen as the price.

Chairman of the Committee for the Boston Metropolitan Chapter is Paul Amundson, Harvard '15, who has shelved his law books and writs for the duration. When a ship docks in Boston, its needs include all sorts of odds and ends. Amundson reports that since the ship is in port only six hours, a good many of its requests and needs cannot go through the regular Navy channels, so that leaves it up to the Red Cross and a busy six hours.

Paul, who was formerly chapter advisor at Harvard, receives many requests through his office which are often incongruous and quite humorous. A recent request from an Army camp called for a second-hand barber chair "for men who were not able to go to the barber." When a member of the committee finally obtained a chair

planning. For, as the mounting pile of antitrust indictments shows, businessman proposes but Antitrust disposes."

Speaking of Wend ell Berge and his student days at the University of Ne-

The Triad, October, 1944

8 braska where he was a star of a debating course, Velie writes that "h ere, with youthful fervor, he inveighed against monopolists, then happily oblivious of their budding antagonist.

Young Berge learned about these things at his father's knee. Wendell's father, the D emocratic Bob La Follette of his day, battled the Western railroads and denounced them in a book, The Free Pass Bribery System, which sought to prove free passes corr upted ~hole legislatures. The elder Berge ran for governor of Nebr aska as a Democrat, with Populist support and was defeated. At Lincoln, Nebraska, where Berge was reared, there was, consequently, little doubt that Wendell would grow up to fight the interests."

The article goes on to trace the steps of Berge's career and of the work of his par ticular department in the government.

Ruppenthal Wins Award Brig. Gen. Thomas 0. Hardin, commanding general of the India China wing, Air Transport Command, USAAF, has announced that Lt. Col. Lloyd H . Ruppenthal, Kansas '22, has been awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement. The citation reads, "for distinguishing himself by meritorious achievement as deputy chief of staff, India-China wing, Air Transport Command, during the period between March 21 and June 15 1944." , "Rupe" served in Africa more than a year before coming to the China-

Burma-India theater. His wife, Bernice, lives in McPherson; Kansas.

Returns on HGripsholm" First Lieut. Jarman G. Kennard, Cornell '40, was repatriated when the Swedish exchange liner, the " Gripsholm," docked in Jersey City with twohundred nineteen sick and wounded American officers and enlisted men who have been prisoners in Germany.

How Lieut. Jarman George Kennard, Cornell '40, once managed toescape from the hands of his German captors was told in a letter to his parents, Prof. and Mrs. E. H . Kennard of 101 Wyckoff Road, Ithaca, New York.

He was later recaptured.

The letter, written from Dunbar, Natal, South Africa, on June 19, was from E. J. Hart, who related Lieutenant Kennard's experience and told of his own escape from the Germans.

Hart, not knowing whether or not Kennard had made good his escape, addressed his letter to "Jerry," that being the lieutenant's nickname. Congratulating Jerry on his presumed escape, he continued the letter to the Kennards on the assumption that if their son were not back now, they would be interested to know how the two of them had met .

Kennard, a navigator in the U . S. Army Air Forces, was reported captured by the Germans in June, 1943, and having been wounded, was hospitalized in a German prison camp in Northern Italy.

In his letter, Hart wrote; "After the armistice in Italy, the Huns rounded up the hospital, and the ambulance train was moving to take the men to Nazi land. Although his wound was not yet healed, Jerry jumped from the window of the fast moving train, and was taken in by a pro-English Italian farmer."

Apparently the farmer's home was the place where Hart and Kennard became acquainted, for - Hart continued: "We were making our way back to the front line, and Jerry wanted to go too; but because of his injury he was not able to walk the hundreds of kilometers through the towering snow-covered mountains, and I prevailed upon him to remain with the farmer."

Concluding his letter, he continued; "If Jerry hasn't come home by now, he is probably in a prison camp in Germany."

It was later learned that Jerry was located at a transit camp in Germany, which primarily contained enlisted men, near Munich.

Lieutenant Kennard, who enlisted in the AAF on Jan. 20, 1942, while a

The Triad, October, 1944 jUI]J.or at Cornell, received his wings .as navigator and was commissioned on July 4, 1942. Going overseas the followirig November, he was promoted to .a first lieutenant in April, 1943.

With happiness and gratitude we welcome our Cornell brother back home. His home address is 701 Wyckoff Road, Ithaca, N. Y. The wedding of Miss Victoria Jean ·Cameron and Ensign James F . Johnson, Cincinnati '37, took place on Saturday, October 21. The bride is the -daughter of the Reverend and Mrs. G. Bruce Cameron of Paxton Road, Hyde Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. She is .a recent graduate of Ohio State University where she majored in elementary education. Brother Johnson is a graduate of the Electrical Engineering College of the University of Cincinnati.

His home is in Carbondale, Illinois. He is now stationed at Fort Schuyler, New York City.

*

Steven R. Kirch, Sllc, Cincinnati '43, is now stationed at Wright Junior College in Chicago where he is taking advanced train~ng in radio.

'* Lieut. (jg) William A. Allen, Min-nesota, '42, former Venerable Dean, was married on Sunday, October 15, at Corpus Christi, Texas, to Miss Dorothy Wilson of Hollywood, California. Mrs. Allen, who has resided in Hollywood with her parents, is screen stand-in for the actress, Gene Tierny.

*

First Lt. Warren S . Woirol, pledge of the Cincinnati Chapter, was forced to land his flak-riddled Thunderbolt plane during the invasion. Somewhere behind the Allied lines in France he enjoyed some fresh eggs and French wine. Later he was able to fly back' to England where he learned that during his 24-hour absence his gold bar had been changed to silver. He was the first Cincinnati man to give an ·eye-witness description of the invasion.

He reported that the "fast, small boats were going hell-bent for election."

Warren has been overseas since February.

*

Word has been received that Lieut. ·Carson H. King, Indiana '37, author of the article, "An Interview With a British Colonel," in the May issue of the TRIAD, was wounded in action in France the latter part of August. After being in several overseas army hospitals, he is now at Wakeman General Hospital, Camp Atterbury, Indiana.

Doings in the Chapters (Continued from page 16) Mason is on his staff. Perkey takes over the Engineer where Bob Fischer left off as editor at the time of his graduation.

Crews has one other major accomplishment to his credit this summer-the unloading of his pin to Pat Roulette of the Residence Halls. Bob Blue returned to campus long enough to put his pin on Dottie Downey of Delta Gamma, during the summer. We wonder just what these sailors have on the ball anyway.

Our social life has not been neglected this summer, notwithstanding the severe shortage of women at Purdue. We have held one house dance, with another coming up at the start of the winter term, and Wednesday evening trade-dances with Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and Kappa Alpha Theta. The arranging of blind dates for these tradedances is at best a thankless job, as Dick Wheaton and Bob Ballard have found out. Junior Dean Wheaton, however, somehow managed to have better luck in getting dates for himself at these affairs than has Ballard since he took over the job for serviceman Wheaton.

Homecoming Day here at the University, for the Purdue-Wisconsin football encounter, is the time set for our big house dance. Although informal, chiefly due to wartime conditions, this dance will be a big blow-out, with no effort spared on the part of the pledges (and actives too, of course) to put it over with a bang.

The football game and the Homecoming Day occasion will furnish a theme, and decorations will be as elaborate as the limit of rationed material will allow.

With the beginning of the new term, all other fraternity houses now operated by the Navy will be returned to their original pwners. Since, up to now, we have been fortunate in having one of the few fraternity houses open and functioning on the campus, we have been in fairly good position to impress rushees. Now, however, we must compete with many other fraternities trying to fill up their houses, too, and in view of this an unprecedented rush program has been mapped out. We are determined to have first choice if possible, and not to be left with the picked-over remnants.

The nuptial knot was tied on September 27 between Bob Gallatin and Margaret Watson of Alpha Xi Delta here.

Homsher and Nuding helped officiate in the ceremony at Wabash, Indiana.

An alumni banquet was he~d October 2 with an attendance of about forty. We were glad to see the "old-timers" back, and were interested in listening to them exchange tales and reminiscences of the good old days. It was voted that the customary Homecoming Day program be held this year to an afternoon open house, so as not to interfere with rushing, since Homecoming Day comes right at the start of the new term. Alumni Day has not by any means been abandoned or shortchanged, however, for all alumni and their wives are welcomed at the open house immediately after the game.

The Triad, October, 1944

10

Dear Brothers: I have been interested in reading experiences as related by brother Acacians in various parts of the world, and thought I would like to make my contribution to the pages of the TRIAD. We were flying over the mountains on a mission to China; had been losing altitude steadily because of engine trouble until finally our pilot ordered us all to bail out, keeping the plane on a circle course so that we might all land as near together as possible. The nose gunner (on his first mission) led off; I jumped next. It was my first experience. I found it easy enough physically, but tough on the nervous system. The descent was something out of this world, with mountains and forests zooming up too fast to suit me when I knew I had to land somewhere in that jumble of boulders and trees. As I neared the ground I saw that I was headed for a couple of big boulders, but by yanking my shroud lines and dumping the air from the chute I managed (with a drop of 20 or more feet) to miss them and the trees and luckily landed on my feet in a clearing, the slope of the mountain throwing me on my back. It was quite a jolt and I felt myself all over to be certain I wasn't broken up in pieces, but came out of it with only a minor cut. I heard the plane winding up overhead and attempted to get to protection in case it was headed toward me; but before I could unhook my chute and get away it had crashed.

The woods were apparently full of Chinese. A guerrilla first confronted me and I pulled out my little American flag and . yelled ''American." I knew we had landed in safe territory, but, of course, the Chinese were not so sure who I was. I was unarmed. The big surprise was to find that the guerrilla had met me with his gun unloaded, although he had ammunition on him. In a short time some farmers gathered around. I could see two chutes across the valley and wanted to go to them at once, but the Chinese, by signs and what not, let me know that we couldn't make it before dark and so took me directly to the house of their "boss." Later that night our nose gunner made his way to where I was, and still later we received messages by runners that three of the others were safe in a village across from us. One of the runners brought along a Chinese-English reader, and with its help I explained that we wanted to go to the plane in the

morning. Reports had come in that one of the crew was killed-that left two unaccounted for.

Next morning we two went to the plane and found the wreckage strewn in bits.

We buried the pilot there and burned what papers, etc., we found scattered

LIEUT. RALPH W. GOULD Illinois '43 around. After returning to the village, our co-pilot was brought in to us; so the three of us (via two mules) journeyed back to pick up our three enlisted men in the neighboring village. In the meantime these men had been joined by our engineer, the only one until then unaccounted for. A muleback ride through the mountains in pouring rain is an experience in itself.

The following day we were each furnished with a mule and set out for the Chinese district headquarters. The magistrate who received us there was fiftythree years old, had known English when he received his law degree thirty years ago, but had forgotten it all long since. He was suffering from boils so painful that he could hardly get around. With the help of the book we managed to understand each other. He and all the natives were most kind and gave us the best of everything they had to offer-even some

Old Golds, toothpaste, socks, soap, towels, etc.-all worth a fortune there. The food was good and we learned to eat pretty well with chopsticks, but the rice wine could easily have passed for Prestone.

We rested two days here, meantime trying to get out a message to some American base on their brokendown wireless.

We learned later that one message did get through, but with all the translating and retranslating, coding and receding, it didn't make sense. With the help of our first-aid kits we were able to fix up the magistrate's boils so that he could be up and around. He was so grateful and friendly that he had photos taken of our group with him and autographed one for each of us. He also presented us with big bamboo sun hats and fans. The photo is my most prized possession.

On the third day at this place we mounted mules again and left our "Shangri-la." Many a time at our base we used to kid each other about how we would some day bail out over China and spend the rest of the war in such a spot as this, but here we were leaving it all behind us.

We spent four days at this sort of traveling. On the third day a liaison plane flew over and dropped us a first-aid kit. We signalled we were okay. Later a C-47 came out but missed us. It was bringing supplies. On the fourth day of this journey my mule threw me into a pile of rocks, spraining my knee, which comically enough was much worse than any injury from the chute jump. We spent each night in the village temple, courthouse, or militia quarters, on beds usually made of three planks across saw horses, wrapped in blankets off the mules or horses, and always with plenty of bedbugs and fleas.

At last we reached a motorable road and telephone and were able to phone for a truck from the nearest field. A C-46 took us from this field to our original destination, and from there we hitched rides by plane back to our base in India.

Total time thirteen days-normally a forty-five minute trip as we were used to flying it.

Fraternally yours, Ralph W. Gould Illinois '43 ¡Lt. Ralph W . Gould 0-708453 APO #886, c/o Postmaster New York, N.Y.

Dear Brothers: I am.eagerly looing forward to the next issue of the TRIAD and news of the boys.

At the moment my unit is resting on its laurels. The fellows really have deserved it for after all they had been in four invasions in three months. They really are doing a great job. I do not think there has been a landing in this theater that did not have one or the other Amphib unit playing a major roll. As a matter of fact, one of the companies of another outfit received the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism in the W ak.e operation. During this operation most of the coxswains were killed by Japanese

The Triad, October, 1944

11

sharpshooters, but never a moment did the boats stop, with the enginemen taking over. The fire was terrific and 'the Imperial marines really could shoot. Some of the boys were hit straight between the eyes at 800 yards. Too little credit is given the Amphibian Engineers in the papers back in the States. In one operation, our shore battalion built seven jetties in one hour. We believe this is quite a record.

Things have quieted down a bit now around here. There are still Japs here but they are slowly being exterminated.

This place certainly has changed a lot since we first came here on D plus, and I can hardly recognize the place any more.

Orderly roads criss cross every part of the island now. Most of the boys in my company are now supervising the unloading of ships, which is one of our many functions. Fresh food and beer are now replacing the canned goods we used to get. However, this does not usually last long for us. When these things come it is time for us to move on. Perhaps when you read of the next landing in the SWPA we might be there. Of course there is no place for us to go. Swimming is almost impossible unless you do not mind your feet being cut to ribbons by the coral. We have a movie every third night but they are usually very old. Because of our moving about so much we see the same pictures over and over again. Most of the time we read or write letters.

"Washing Machine Charley" has left us rather well alone lately. I guess there is no place for him to go any more, but in the beginning he really was a nuisance.

Every now and then we have an alert, but usually the planes that come over are ours.

It is a good thing that I am in the Engineers. We always have drinking water, showers and lots of 路 other conveniences other outfits do not have. We have the equipment to do any engineer work and lots of other work our unit is called upon to do, which includes practically everything. What's more we have the men who can do it.

Fraternally, HANS .

Hans C. Ullmann Northwestern '41

Dear Brothers: Well, it's been a long time since I've been able to enjoy the fellowship of my brother Acacians beneath the shade of old Acacia.

Yes, New Guinea is quite a place, and really a change as far as weather, humidity, growth and terrain (a very rugged i5land to say the least) are concerned.

I've been taking all kinds of pictures, including wrecked Jap Zeros to naked natives. The country here is rather pretty and in a way not so bad, but the day can't come too quickly for my departure from dear old New Guinea!

My brother, Willard, sent me Jack's address, along with a TRIAD. Boy, was I ever tickled to get it. I guess I've read about every word in it-a guy really appreciates it over here. Yet, the longer 路one is away

from the chapter the more one appreciates it.

I suppose Willard asked you about my chances of obtaining another membership card. You see, both my Yellow Dog and Acacia membership cards, plus $30.00 and my billfold, were stolen, so now I'm without them. The $30.00 didn't mean nearly so much to me as did the two membership cards. Possibly I could obtain at least the blank cards again?

I'm really enthused over our W . S. C. Chapter's chance for continued growth both in prestige and in number. We had a really grand bunch of fellows, and I'm sure that along with myself we're going to have an enthused devoted group returning to really take a hand and continue our steady growth and consolidate our position as leaders on the cq.mpus.

I'm with the Air Corps Engineers building air strips over here in New Guinea.

I'm a clerk here in the battalion and spend a good deal of my time pounding a typewriter. At the next stop I'm hoping to be able to pick up some really hot souvenirs; that always makes things more interesting you know.

Well, as one proud Acacian to another, I sign off with the very best wishes. I hope that we'll meet again back at good old 1607 Ruby Street in Pullman.

Fraternally yours, VERNE.

Verne E. Zellmer Washington State, '42 Somewhere in France Dear Brothers: As you see from the heading I've had another change of scenery. It's been a long time since Italy and much water has run over the dam-thought perhaps you'd like路 a story of it all.

I left Italy the 8th of June and got back to Washington on June 10---my daughter's first birthday. That was a real homecoming! And the first time I'd ever laid eyes on Wendy. Believe me she's terrific.

Peg was well and more charming and lovely than ever. I only stayed in the' States/ a few days and then was shipped over here to this show. LaBelle France-most appropriately named and a wonderful experience. We are the coordinating echelon for all American armies in France and are terrifically proud of the job the boys are doing up front.

For myself, I'm a hasbeen as far as combat goes-and am nowhere near the real fighting. I don't particularly like it back here either-and am trying hard to get a new combat assignment It looks now as though it might come路 through. Cross your fingers for me because this rear operation is entirely foreign to me and is slowly driving me nuts.

You may be interested to know some of the results of the Italian campaign and action which are just now catching up with me. For the record, I have now received three letters of commendation, one citation and two decorations for service in Italy. In this past week an Italian decoration "The Bronze Medal for Military Valor in the Field" and the U. S. Legion

of Merit came through. The citations for these medals are as follows: "Italian Bronze Medal- Attached to the Command of the Fifth Army, he contributed t o the lightning victory of the valor ous 5th Army with his decisive command action and his example t o everyone ; despite the desperate resistance of the enemy he did not withdraw from the b attle nor flinch from danger until the definite triumph of the Allied Armies and the liberation of Rome."

This was given by General Bencivenga in the name of the Italian government. The Legion of Merit decoration states: "For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services from 2 Nov. 1943 to 6 June 1944. As Commander of the Combat Propaganda Team, Psychological Warfare Br anch, attached to the Fifth Army, Lt. Col. Weaver conducted successful experiments with psychological warfare instruments as an actual and integral part of the tactical operations. He supervised the operations of using leaflets as an active force in artillery fires, and devised means for the effective employment of sound in coordinated psychological warfare and infantry operations. Lt. Col. Weaver's ingenuity in developing Psychological Warfare equipment, his vision and judgment in employing its tactical use, and his zeal and energy in the use of his instruments, definitely established the value of psychological warfare as a potent weapon of combat." I'm quoting them because it seems the fraternity should have a record of it-not, believe me, in a spirit of braggadoccio. The commendations were for various combat operations under fire which we pulled off successfully on the Anzio beachhead.

Seems these things take up all the paper. Will write more when time permits.

Regards to everyone at the house. Hope this address gets to you. S'long.

Editor's Plea Since the beginning of the wa r, most publications of college fraternities have been curtailed or dropped entirely, but your Fraternity has endeavored to bring to you the news from the fraternity and university world as usual. During the war, valuable editorial contacts have been shuttled and some lost; most of the chapters are inactive, but we are attempting to keep up with the doings of their members, both on the home front and in the service.

Your editor is contributing his time to the TRIAD and must maintain as many news contacts as possible. If you do not receive an answer to your letters at once, it is only due to a lack of time a t the moment. As is only natural, in wartime, TRIAD articles, news of general interest, and news of alumni, are more and more difficult to secure. We ask each of you readers to remember that YOU are our source of news. Please send in any interesting letters or items you may have.

All photographs and materials received are carefully handled and returned. We are now working on the December issue.

Send in material at once!

Voings zn the Chapters California California Chapter of Acacia looks forward to the new semester confident of success. We feel that we are over the hump during this difficult war period.

Hats off to George Croyle who from his experience of four years at the house has guided younger members and passed .to them the spirit and traditions of Acacta.

Our new officers are: Dennis Hallowell a veteran taking over his old job of Venerable Dean; John Mackenzie, also returning after semesters of working, as Senior Dean; Ed Bauer, a new member, as Junior Dean; Hal Granquist, back with us again after one semester, as Secretary; Dave Fredrickson, another new member, who will take over the difficult job of House Manager so ably handled irt the past by Ed Aiken. Ed is leaving for one semester to breathe once again the ocean air of his home town, Port Hueneme. We shall be glad to see him back with us when the Spring semester rolls around.

Past officers were: George Croyle, Venerable Dean. George, now a graduate student, will act as Chapter Advisor during the new term. Bob Lewis, Senior Dean. Bob hails from Point San Pedro which is about twenty miles below San Francisco. He will be out next semester.

Ed Aiken, acting Junior Dean; Ned Shaw, Secretary. Ned is going to be away a semester, ostensibly to recover his financial equilibrium.

In the same spot as every other fraternity on the campus because of the war, we have had to take in some boarders to keep our head above water. Nevertheless, we have kept our house full and have made several improvements in the way of fixing it up.

We welcome back for the new semester Denny Hallowell, John Mackenzie, Harry Larsen, and Hal Granquist. Denny has been working at his father 's garage irt Clovis. He left school to help his father and to get a little money ahead. But we suspect he went for quite a different reason. Could it be a certain blonde? How about it Denny? John Mackenzie has been out several semesters working as a ¡ fruit buyer for H . J . Heirtz & Son. A good job, so he tells us, but finishing up school he feels is more important. How does that 1935 Ford rattletrap you bought run?

Harry Larsen has been working with a survey gang for E. I. Du Pont at Pasco, Washington.

The big event of the semester was the Pledge Formal on September 29 at the Hotel Claremont irt the Berkeley Hills.

Dirtner was held at the house for thirtysix. Afterward we travelled to the Hotel for a pleasant evening of dancing to the rhythm of Russ Morgan. An unexpected pleasure was the attendance of Clyde Foster, a brother Acacian from Colorado in the uniform of the United States Navy.

*

NoTES ON AcAciANS Fred Anderson dropped by the House on his vacation and spent two very swell

evenings with us. Fred is employed by the Boeing Aircraft Corp. and makes his home in Seattle.

Captain Bob Duttle writes from India that he hopes to get back to the States soon. Bob has been overseas for the last eighteen months.

Ens. Reed Keyes left the naval unit on campus for Annapolis, and from there he went to Great Lakes where he is now stationed. Reed evinces the earnest desire to be back on the Coast in the near future.

T / Sgt. Gqlder De Witt spent 30 days in the States in June, returned to England for a short time and is now back in the country for reassignment.

Pvt. John Bell and his wife are now in Berkeley. John has 30 davs detached service with a possibiilty of an extension of time.

Ens. Cliff Misener is still stationed in Portland; he's healthy and expects to remain so if he can weather the winter cold.

Mr. and Mrs. David Barton announced the marriage of their daughter Rosetta Claire to Mr. Thomas Miller Eby, Army of the United States, on Saturday, the second of September Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four, Kimberton, Pennsylvania.

Congratulations and best wishes Tom. Cadet Kenny Moore has only seven more months to go before he graduates from West Point. Ken's brother, Carlisle, is now stationed at San Diego.

Bob Peck, S 1/c is now stationed at Del Monte. Occasionally Bob is able to get away and get up to the house. Also down at Del Monte are Bob Force, Hubie Friend, and Willie McCutchan-all seamen first class. The boys have only one gripe and that is that the maid service at the Del Monte Hotel "ain't" what it was before the war.

Lt. Ban Nelson U.S.N.R. is reported back in the States after having his L.S.T. torpedoed from under him. He was one of forty-six survivors. Lt. Commander Joseph A. Lowe is now on active duty at sea. From all reports Joe knows his navy and is an all-around rough customer.

Joe and Ban were together for some time in the Atlantic Theater.

Pfc. Eddie Prewett is now overseas.

Some of the fellows were fortunate enough to see him just before he left.

Eddie joins Dean Yeaman who has been irt Italy since the invasion.

Pfc. Paul Dallas shipped out in August; he must be quite busy because he hasn't written as yet. Paul's wife has taken a teaching position at Liberty Union High School irt Bre11twood.

Ens. Slugger Rowe has had his ups and downs irt the Pacific as a member of a demolition squad. Through the months of June and July he was out of to.u ch with the world-No Mail. Here's a cheerio to you son-see you at Mike's real soon.

Lt. Chuck Richardson spent a week at the house in August. He had just returned from an extensive series of flying missions in North Africa and Italy. He is now stationed in this country as an instructor.

A I C Emory Thomas and F / 0 George Martin are now on their way overseas.

They shipped out together; a recent card from "Slip" said he had listened to all

of the World Series. When these two lads light there should be quite a show.

AIC Bob Anderson is now stationed at St. Marys Preflight at Moraga, California.

Cincinnati Cincinnati Acacians are welcome back to the Chapter House which has, by the hard work of George Patterson, been opened for the alumni and pledges. During the summer the house was renovated, repairs were made, and things were made to look tops before the series of pledge parties were held. As a result, two alumni are living irt the house and eight men have been pledged. Thanks, George, we knew that you could do it.

The pledges are unusually good material this year. Donald Eybold, as pledge chairman, did an excellent job assisted

by Herschel Kopp as secretary. The boys will soon have the house irt order, and as soon as a cook can be found we shall begin to serve meals. The pledges hold regular meetings, and it looks like a bright prospect, war or no war.

The social calendar for September irtcluded a house dance, Father and Son smoker at Huber's home, a swimming party and dance at the Eastern Hill Y.M.C.A., stag smoker, buffet luncheon, and stag picnic. The pledge Hallowe'en party at the house was a clever affair.

The entrance by way of the fire escape was followed by a number of special receptions after gaining admission. The stunts were original.

Ensign James F. Johnson was married on October 21 to Miss Victoria Jean Cameron at the Knox Presbyterian Church. The bride's father performed the ceremony, assisted by the pastor of the church. Cincinnati Acacians were present in full force. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Newman from Detroit were there for the celebration. We extend congratulations, Jim.

Cornell Dea r Brothers: Plenty has happened since the last letter went out. This is later than I expected, but I hope it finds all the fellows again.

First big thing happened last July 7 when "our boy Ed Lemon" took "Dear Doona" as his wife. Congratula tions to you two from all of us. The reason we could not make connections in Buffalo, Ed, was because I was in the hospital at the appointed meeting time recovering from a minor operation I had on my hand. I also received announcements from Robert Keir which was reported last time, and also one about Steve Hawley. I don't remember if that was reported or not.

Most of us have met Steve's wife while still a "MISS" but I am sure we are all looking forward to meeting all these girls again, and all the new girls that are coming as sisters into our happy Acacia Family.

Strange as it may seem, the United Sta tes Navy now controls the destiny of both the Cushing boys. Stone w as drafted and sent down to Sampson the middle of July. He doesn't write so much so I can't say how he likes it. For myself . . . well, the Navy has given me a commission as Ensign D-V (S) in the USNR. I den't know when or where I report for indoctrination, but I hope it doesn't come until after August 30. You see, lady luck has been handing me quite a bit of luck la tely .

I h ave accepted an invitation to play in the All Star Football game August 30.

I hope I will be able to stay out long enough to do a little in that War Relief Game.

Since I am away from Ithaca, I do not have as much contact with Professor Heuser as I did before. Because of it I am not too well informed about our brothers. Bob Flickinger has gone to Northwestern Midshipmen School, a candidate for a deck officer. His address is A / SR. D . Flickinger, USNR, Abbott H all, #712, Chicago 11, Illinois. Ronnie Stillman has informed us he would like to "ba t the breeze" with more of the gang.

His address is Lt. R. E. Stillman, c/ o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, California.

Let's all drop him a note or two.

He suggested that we put a list of all known addresses out. I think it's a good idea, Ronnie. It is up to Prof. Heuser to pick out the latest ones and put them

The Triad, October, 1944

14 down for he has the complete list of everyone. If there are any parti<:ular ones you want Ronnie, just drop a line.

I hear 'George Fuller is out in Texas now. How about some more dope about yourself, George? I got a letter fr?m Dave Sheldon from the South Pacifi,c where it is "naturally hot." He doesn t say where he is exactly but hopes he rm;s into someone from home. Maybe Ronrue will run into him. His address is Pvt. F . D. Sheldon, 12103438, APO #7~6, c( o Postmaster, San Francisco, Califo~rua .

Word of Allie Woodford has been recetved in a roundabout way. He is out in California in some sort of amphibious training, still with the Army. ~e is. out there trying to learn how to sw1m wtth a pack and rifle, etc. As I remember, I have met better swimmers, and if you ask me those teachers have quite a job on their hands.

Dick Allen has been reported down in New Orleans, I believe. I do not have your letter here, Dick.

Ensign Dick Bonser is in the South Pacific. His address is c/ o Navy Post Office, San Francisco, California. One of your buddies has written that he ~ould like to know more about Bonser bemg a proud papa. How about it, Dick? Mel Sidebotham was married last October to Carol Mackinnon, a home-town girl. They are living at Ft. Riley, near Manhattan, Kansas. Lt. William H. Williams, A.P.O. #719 c/ o Postmaster, San Francisco, California, has been carrying off honors in the South Pacific. He is a navigator on a B-24 heavy bomber. He says he is looking forward to when he can come back to Cornell and Acacia.

Lt. Charles Crittenden is instructing at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland, and will be glad to see anyone getting his way. Lt. A. A. Hagedorn is overseas at present. T / Sgt. Ray L . Rider, A.P.O. #350, cj o P .M., New York, N.Y., has been seeing some of England and is now in France.

A notice that Capt. "Kenny" Sorace failed to return from a bombing mission over France has been received. He is reported as missing in action since June 14.

He flew with the oldest operational P -38 Fighter Group in England, and participated in more than 50 combat missions.

He was a member of the first American Fighter Group to make a combat flight over Berlin. That is quite a record and it goes to show what Acacia is really made up of. You older fellows probably know him better than the young group.

I think everyone knew that Dean Ladd of the Ag School passed away on July- 23, 1943. July 26, 1944, a liberty ship was . launched in honor of the late Dean. It was christened by Mrs. Ladd. Dean Ladd was one of our brothers, and this is another instance where the achievements of an Acacian were recognized by our government.

Talking about people being recognized, I expect many of you fellows will recognize the name of the girl that now has my fraternity pin. When the house starts up again, you fellows can blow smoke rings to the occasion. Her name is Meredith Boyd and I met her at the Spring House Party of 1943. I offer my apologies to the brother that introduced us, along with my thanks to him. Fate does funny things.

Have all you fellows sold Acacia to your folks? The mother of one of our brothers sent a check to cover the balance of her son's building fund pledge plus a $10.00 donation, saying: "I intended buying a bond, but thought this would be better than a bond."

June 23 1944 the Acacia Corporation had its armuai me~ting which was l~ter than usual this year due to several things. The results of this meeting found W. W. Cotner and C. L . Walker elected to the Board of Directors. The following officers were named by the board for the coming y~ar: President, A. A. Cushing of Eggertsv~e, N Y ¡ Vice-President, R. F . Chamberlam, Itha~~. N. Y.; Secretary-Treasurer, G. F. Heuser, Ithaca, N. Y. Also Prof. Robb was elected chairman of the Board of Directors. That is all for new officers.

Prof. Robb has been named hea~ of ~he Department of Agricultural Engmeermg at Cornell. We all wish you the best of luck in these new positions, and we .all feel certain that the jobs are filled wtth capable men and that Acacia will see another succ~ssful year. Don't forget to send in any address changes and some news about yourself.

Fraternally yours, Bun CusHING

Indiana Greetings from the Indiana Chapter! It is now the middle of the fall semester, and campus and fraternity activities are once again in full swing. The semester got off to a flying start with a big rush dance that made everyone glad to be back. The pledges gained as a result of our extensive rush program are : Jim Watson, Wabash; Dave Etchison, Alexandria; Jerry Kersh, Mishawaka¡ Frank Teats, Vevay; Gene Johnson Hartford City; John Collier, Guilford- Merritt Holman, Indianapolis; Cliff Jon~s, Wabash; Homer Dalby, Att.ica; Bill Berry, Richmond; and Les Btsel, Frankfort.

Since the last issue, we have lost only one man to the armed forces and that was our very valuable song leader, Jimmy Roderick. He is often in our thoughts as we eagerly await his return.

In addition to several tea dances, a hay ride and our annual pledge dirmer have high-lighted our house social functions so far this semester. In the near future other tea dances are planned, and on November 11 the anual pledge dance is scheduled with the theme, "Colonial Club."

New officers were elected shortly before the semester began, and Charles Millspaugh was made the chapter's choice for V.D. for the second time. Gene Latham is senior dean; Bill Thompson, junior dean; Leon Gordon, secretary; Rene Kiefer, treasurer; Bud Smith, senior steward; and Jack Pearson, junior steward.

The Indiana Chapter has seven new initiates who became brothers on September 10. They are Gene Oliver, Robert Williams, Nor man Krieg, Harold Bowtnan, Tim Lillie (A.S. dental school) , Robert Reed, and Max Freeman.

Intramural activities have proven quite successful for I.U. Acacia thus far. In softball we lost only one game to Sigma Chi's by one run. On the gridiron we were also defeated only once. Our codeball team played the championship game, losing by seven points. We're near the top in total intramural points, however.

Again two beautifully jewelled Acacia pins have found their way to two equally beautiful Tri Delts. They belonged to Bud Smith and Jim Roderick, and can now be found on Phyllis Knepper and Mary Lib Bradway, respectively.

At the present time our traditional "Yell ow Dog" ceremonial is being held.

In front of our chapter house stands a yellow dog of cardboard, six fee~ tall, to which all curs offer three-fold prruse upon entering and leaving the house.

To all other chapters of Acacia we extend our most sincere fraternal wishes and hopes for your continued leadership.

NORMAN KRn:G

Minnesota The Minnesota Chapter is still one of the best fraternities on campus in spite of the hard inroads of war. At present, we have thirteen actives, two alumni, and fourteen pledges. Five of our pledges are now undergoing (or enduring) the traditional "Hell Week."

The armed forces of our country have seen fit, during the past summer, to draw upon the resources of four actives and two pledges. The boys who left us were "Junior" Hammett, Bob B iddick, Bob Stark Bud Storrs, Bob Dole, and Jim Trier.' Ted Anderson has just enlisted in the Navy and expects his call in a few weeks.

We received word this summer of the death of "Hap" Pohtilla who was drowned during army maneuvers in Texas. Those who knew "Hap," know how much Acacia was indebted to him. Shortly after this sad bit of news, we were informed of the death of Lt. Gordy Anderson, Acacia pledge. The Army Air Corps called him before he went active, so he left the fraternity after making many friends . He was killed in the crash of a ''King Cobra" fighter during operational training in Washington.

A great number of alumni in the services dropped in this summer. Pfc. Carl Jensen, a gunnery instructor, stopped overnight on his way to his home in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. Ensign Dale McIver stayed overnight on his way to Florida where he will study radar. Shortly afterward, Ensign Stu Norby stopped with us as he passed through on leave to Wolf Point, Montana. Newlywed Ensign "Bud" Gabrielson arrived for a short stay in Mirmeapolis with his wife, the former Bev. Blackwood, who had contracted a touch of malaria in Florida. Ensign Merle Morris, just back from New Guinea, spent several days in the Twin Cities visiting friends. Also back from the South Pacific was 2nd Class P . 0 . Larry Englund who was on leave after receiving the Presidential Citation for action in the area around New Caledonia. Pfcs. George Larson and Dick Anthony (though black sheep since most of our members joined the Navy) were back for short visits. Lt. (j.g.) Ernie Mciver stopped through on his way to Duluth where he was married to Dot Morvitz. At this time it might be well to mention that the present treasurer, Bob Wilcoxon, "hung" his jeweled pin on Rosemary Peick. Shortly afterward a big "sparkler" followed, so one more good man has left the ranks of the stalwart few. Sig Sjoberg and Ensign Clem Johnson also paid the local chapter short visits. Keith Berkner, who is associated with the Red Cross, just returned from the C.B.I. theater for a short stay in the fair state of Mirmesota. Bob Livingston and Bob Helvig had short vacations from their engineering jobs to visit the state of ten thousand lakes. Of all the men back this summer, only Ensign

15

The Triad, October, 1944 Dale Mciver and Ensign Stu Norby were back at the same time, so try to figure that out on the-laws of probability. John "Shock" Searles, a graduate of earlier years, is staying at the house for a short time while he does a little engineering research at one of the war plants here in the Twin Cities. A recent Acacia reunion was held in San Francisco by Ensign and Mrs. "Bud" Gabrielson, Ensign and Mrs. Peder Kvamme, and Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Senescall. Ensign Gabrielson is stationed in San Francisco and Ensign Kvamme happened to be in that place while he was awaiting reassignment to a new ship.

Mr. Cleve Senescall and his wife came down from Seattle to participate in the gala occasion.

To cover the lighter side of things, the subjects of the missing electric triangle sign and our famous bear-rug, Otto, will be discussed in that order. First, the electric sign. This ornament of great sentimental value was filched from its usual place on the front porch and somehow turned up at the Pi Beta Phi sorority house. After a short time and a slight amount of effort, it was returned only to be stolen again the next day. Although we haven't seen it since, we traced it to Comstock Hall, the girls' dormitory, but the scent has been lost and now we haven't any more clues. And now about the bear-rug; Otto. He disappeared in this era of missing articles, and our agents traced him to several sororities and finally to Comstock Hall from which he was dulv recovered. Otto took the whole episode stoically and was none the worse for wear except for red-tinted claws and a few missing teeth. Our three dentists are now contemplating the possibilities of a set of full dentures for him.

The chapter was not active during the summer, but a commissary was maintained since many of the fellows were in school or working nearby. We had one big get-together, a theater party, after which we all went to Harry's Cafe for a late dinner.

During formal rushing this fall, Clark Wold, Hibbing, Minnesota ; Evart Blomberg, Mandan, North Dakota; Jack Fox, Dickinson, North Dakota; John Smith, Rochester, Minnesota ; Curt Landberg, Minneapolis; Rollie Jorvig, Minneapolis; Hank Weir, St. Paul; and Bob Cerney, Mason City, Iowa, were pledged. The new men just going active are Karl Doerringsfeld, Bob Powell, Bert Wing, Gerry Compton, and Bill Dreher.

Of our famous men on campus, AI Dreher is well-known as the business manager of the Minnesota Daily (the. world's largest college newspaper). This particular campus position is a sort of Acacia legacy, as the last eighteen business managers have been Acacians, and only for three terms has this. long dynasty been broken. Our past V. D. Dick Hammel who graduated October 24 from the architectural school and now awaits reassignment to midshipman's school, was president of the Architectural Students' Council. Bill Peterson, our present V. D ., is treasurer of the Board of Publications as well as our representative to the Interfraternity Council. John Dablbw, stationed at Minnesota with the NROTC, was the editor of the Gopher Log, the yearbook of all the aval units at the University of Minnesota.

We are looking for a very promising new school year and hope to have the house in fine shape when our returning servicemen come back to school once 路 again. We have had one house party and are now engaged in preparing for our

Homecoming party which will be held at the Radisson Hotel. We are striving to keep the old Acacia spirit high so that, after things have returned to normal, we will be as strong as we formerly were, if not stronger.

DWIGHT CHERNAUSEK

Northwestern Now that Navy occupancy of the chapter house has ended and the chapter finds itself again with a headquarters, the active chapter sends greetings to all her brothers from Lincoln-at-the-Lake. The house will remain in the hands of the university until other fraternity houses have been released and is classified as an open house. From this time on, all correspondence should be addressed to Bill Ross, or Don Dickinson at the chapter house. Don Dickinson, by the way, is our new Venerable Dean, succeeding the recently elected Philips Whidden who is leaving soon for Kentucky. Other officers elected or retained in office include, Bill Jones, Junior Dean and Rush Chairman; Will Boyes, Treasurer; and Bill Ross, Secretary.

At this time Acacia at Northwestern finds itself at the lowest ebb since the beginning of the war. The departure of such fraternity stalwarts as ex-V.D ., Bill Friedrichs to Midshipmen's school at Asbury Park, New Jersey; ex-V.D., Phil Whidden to a research position with the Ken-Rad Tube and Lamp Corporation at Owensboro, Ky.; Bruce Bain to his tech job, and recently pledged Buddy Cox to the Navy, depletes the chapter to .ten actives and one pledge. However, despite some discouragement, the active chapter finds itself confronted with one of the most promising crops of potential fraternity men to hit the campus on Lake Michigan since the first of the war, with the added advantage of the acquisition of the chapter house and the ample support of the alumni. Plans are now well-formulated for an extensive rushing campaign and active fraternity year.

Despite the depleted membership, the chapter has not suffered socially. Weekly meetings and parties have been on the current agenda. Ma Scramm's is becoming more and more popular and has taken some of her fans away from Sally's. The apartment of Jack Erwin and Phil Whidden at 1220 Central Street is running a close second. After two successful parties there, it has become the toast of the chapter. It's a fountain in the middle of a desert in all respects to those who drop in.

The A 0 Pi House seems to be the house of houses-at least as far as Friedrichs and Dick Powers are concerned.

Their respective pins seem to be firmly planted there. Will Boyes is the most recent active to leave the bachelor-fold by hanging his pin. Alpha Gam Beth Henry is the lucky girl. The rest of the gang seems to still be playing the field.

Congratulations are in order for Lieut. (jg) Bill Masoner on his becoming N.U. Chapter's first war ace. Also, congratulations are extended to Ace Southworth on 路 his marriage July 15 to Alpha Xi Gloria Browne. We also send a prayer that S1 / c Bob Webster may be stationed in Chicago after his recent sojourns at Great Lakes, and Michigan City, Indiana. Bob has been a familiar personality on the campus of late. War-

ren Ball is continuing his dental studies on the Chicago campus of N.U . as a civilian. Cpl. Jim Wulliman made a recent appearance on the campus on his way through from Fort Monmouth, New Jer sey. During the summer, Frank Phalen made a brief stop highlighted by a dinner and general bull-session with members of the chapter. He was on his way from Camp Crowder to Fort Monmouth for O.C.S. Bill Ross, whose excellent Syllabus finally came out, has now diverted his interests to building up a photography department for University publications.

Bill's Syllabus was recently given the honor of an All-American rating among general college publications-the highest of honors! Jack Plattner put in a "telephonic" appearance from the "Loop" on his way from Texas to Mississippi, via New York (or so he says) ; he expects to cross the "great water" any day. Freddie Woods, after a lengthy stay at Camp Custer, stopped here last week end on his way to somewhere in Texas.

The chapter路 would like to express special appreciation to the alumni of the chapter who have given their support to us recently. Roy Clark and Jack Erwin have been most helpful in their aid and assistance.

BILL Ross

Ohio Hi, Yanks! It's been a long time since we've said "hello" and sat down with you for a friendly chat about Ohio Chapter, and are we bursting with news! First of all let's drop in on a letter I received from Brother Beerbower a little while ago. Beery says that he is now a jeep driver which, in his opinion, is about the lowest form of life in the Army, 路(quote, unquote) and that he has been driving all around Oklahoma. He's at Camp Gruber right now, (Hq. Co., 222nd Infantry, APO 411, Camp Gruber) with hopes of getting off for a brief furlough before long.

We're tickled to death because we've received information about our far-away brother D . P. Berens. And we'll start right out by giving his address: Sgt. D. P . Berens, U.S.M.C., c/ o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, California. Don says that he's really moved around some since our last letter . . . he was in the Russell Islands (plenty of mud, rain, and awful chow) and now has moved on.

Says he likes it where he is, but misses the lighting systems which aren't installed yet. Gone native on us, Don? We're really proud of Brother Bill Bowen . .. we received a beautiful announcement of his graduation from the Army Air Forces Bombardier School at San Angelo, Texas. He graduated on July 22 and is now a lieutenant. As yet his address hasn't been determined. We still haven't heard from Brother Karl Buck but note his address as Ph. M. 3/ c, F.F.T .

Receiving Ship, San Francisco, California.

We've really been getting information from Johnny Burroughs since he's had plenty of time to write. You see Johnny's been in the hospital for a time and so writes to pass the time away. Finally, after eight weeks, he's back with his outfit and says that everything is okeh.

He's in the lab as a technician and says he is learning blood-testing and the other things that go with it. In case you didn't know i t, Pvt. Johnny's address is Bks.

The Triad, October, 1944

16 T-114, 157th General Hospital, Phoenixville, Pa. Last information about Lt. Rusty Craft is that he's out in Colorado-Camp Carson to be exact-611th F . A . Bn. They say that Curt Porter and wife are there, too. I bet they have a riot on nights off.

Funny how you meet up with old pals no matter where you are.

At last we've heard from Lt. Dick Cross, and while he didn't have much to say, and hinted that he might go overseas soon, it was good to hear from him. His address is Lt. Richard B. Cross, 0549199, Co. H., 1st Parachute Training Depot, Ft. Benning, Georgia.

We wish we knew where Lefty Davis is.

Berens says he's getting a swell training course in radio, and we hope to hear from him soon. Now here is the big surprise: at last we've actually TALKED with Don Haxton and Ernie Rice. Are we happy!

Yes, they both came through Columbus not long ago. You see Ernie is now married. Yep, and Don was the best man.

P . S. They say Don is engaged. They both sounded swell over the phone, and are heading back to Casper, Wyoming, after a brief furlough.

Davey Herrman was in town the other day, too, and gave us a phone call. He's gotten his Ensign's commission and we're real proud of him. Of course, he doesn't know how long he will be around. Last address, which is probably changed (but then it will reach him eventually) is Camp MacDonough, Co. E, Bn. 2, Bks. 12, Plattsburg, N . Y. I had a swell letter from Don Hoeffel in June and he's plenty all right from the sound of things. By the way, he and Beth are married now. No address, as he is one of those persons marked CONFIDENTIAL. But if and when we can release anything, we'll let you know. Or write here and we'll try to contact him.

Perhaps the most startling news we have is that at long last we've found Brother Perry Hosmer who had been lost a long time. Perry is now an Air Cadet at ¡ basic training at War Eagle Fie~d (~olaris Air Academy) , Lancaster, Califorrua. Also, did you know that Perry was married last October 13 to Ginny Nichols? I think some of you lugs knew her. Oh yes! Lots of you have written in to say that Perry was "Guest Artist" with Kay Kyser on May 18. Saxophone.

And brother that ain't all-we've got "Information Please" on Rowland, too. He's a lieutenant now, having graduated from Seln~.an Fiel~, Louisiana, and Tampa, Flonda. He IS now somewhere in England. Present address is Lt. Rowland Hosmer, 0-700-731, APO #559, c/ o Postmaster, New York, N.Y. On June 27 we received a very fancy letter from Brother Bill Huston who is an Air Cadet. He says that after traveling to about five different bases my letter fi_nally ca~ght ~p with him. Bill is pretty . tickled with his setup which, he says, has the best chow of any place he's been He also likes the barracks and the school.

We're always glad to hear from Bill 'caus~ he writes such interesting letters. You c_an reach him at this address: A / C Wilham 0. Huston, 35216351, Cadet Sq: D , 2152nd AAF Base Unit Bennettsville South Carolina. ' ' And we've finally heard from Ralph Jones, although at the present we don't have his latest address. He says he really ~as been studying at Ohio Wesleyan and IS now on his way to Midshipman School at Co~umbia , N . Y. Oh boy!

Ensign Ralph Leever is still floating around on some ocean and has a very

loyal playmate here at home. Dizzy Dean says "hello" to all the boys. Brother George Painter is still in England as far as we know, and his address is still as listed on the back pages of the TiuAD. We guess that Brother Rader is still around, but where? Also where is Brother Bob Scott?

Loren (Gus) Senn is a pfc. in this man's Army, now working in an army medical unit here at OSU and apparently thriving on it. Talked with him the other night while I was doing some remote broadcasting from the Mirror Lake Hollow and he happened by. You can reach him at Canfield Hall on the campus. Nor have we heard from Johnny Skinner although his last address (as much of it as we are able to print) is as listed in the service directory. The complete addresses, whenever we have them, are on file at National Headquarters in Chicago. We are notallowed to print the unit designations of men overseas.

I guess we really should rave about Ralph "Wings" Wenger for a bit as he's been out of things in the TRIAD for a time.

Wings is doing all right for himself here at State. Yes, he's here permanently, we think, and going strong in education, majoring in Psychology. He has been doing work in radio, drama and stage direction.

Best of all, Wings is GOING STEADY, and we do mean steady. She's cuteabout five feet, and solid! They see each other 24 hours out of 24-just kidding Ralph, of course-and Wings is walking on clouds most of the time. He's living at the D.U. house here on campus. Can be reached currently at Delta Upsilon Fraternity, 32-16th Avenue.

At the risk of boring you good brothers, we shall now proceed to tell you a little of ourself and doings. Here at OSU times are good, with people coming to school like mad, having week-end dances occasionally, and everyone working hard although it's summer quarter. As for me, I am now working full time announcing over station WOSU on campus, as well as producing some dramatic shows on the air. I sort o' live at the studio. And then I am also taking some research speech work (700 course Minor P roblems) with no classes, but plenty of research. So we manage to keep busy. Oh yes! We've added a Phi Delta Kappa key to our collection and are pretty pleased. In case you don't know, that's the National Education Honorary for men. We're still trying to collect information about all you good brothers, so please write whenever you get a chance. We may not answer right away, but will either send a card or see you in this column.

We did get a swell letter from Woody Willis at last, and he has a lot to say.

First of all, he's had a minor operation on his eye, taking care of that. He says that since he's been in the service he has become the father of a 71/2 pound daughter, Nancy Lyn. At present he's Acting Chief Petty Officer and is planning to enter the Navy V-7 program. He says his work has been both concentrated and at times difficult, but always interesting. I quote from his letter: "May I extend the best of luck to all the fellows of Acacia who are doing a great job in these trying times." Woody, it has been great hearing from you. Fellas, let's drop him a line, and his wife too, and send congrats on their offspring. Full address is: Howard 0. Willis, Jr., ACPO, Co. 1366, USNTC, Great Lakes, Ill. Just a note on pledges. We have Dale Hurst's address and he really wants to hear from you fellows. Drop him a line

and say hello. Address Pvt. Dale Hurst, APO #654, c/o Postmaster, New York, N.Y. Well, let's close with a question. Where is Jack Bronson? Tommy James? Jim Mahaffey? We don't know; do you? Let's all remember Bob Humbert's words which he wrote us just before he died: "When I come back this is going to be a swell place, and I'm glad I can help make it that way." Remember to write, and we'll try to get you accurate information. We're still at 98 E . Tulane Road, Columbus 2, Ohio. And remember, whether it's the Army, the Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, we're in it!

NED WILL

Purdue A large turnover of manpower has been our chief trouble here at the Purdue Chapter. Since receiving our house back from the Navy, we have expanded to eighteen men living in the house and eight living out, which is still somewhat below normal capacity. Next term will see nineteen living in the house, after we have lost four and gained five.

Returning to school after absences of a term or more are Harold Berry, Wayne "Doc" Price, and Dick Shumaker. Bob Fischer, Dick Tucker, and Ray Nuding have graduated and left, with Fischer already in the Navy. Clyde Whitson is in the Air Corps, and Bob Ballard, Secretary, and Dick Mason will follow him into that branch of the service at the close of this term. Bob Blue is in the Navy V-12 at the University of Illinois, and Dick Wheaton was called from school in the middle of the term to enter the Navy. The turnover continues; the President's personal greetings in the brown envelopes come regularly to our draftable members, and in these days who isn't draftable?

Eleven new initiates swelled the chapter's rolls this term: Milton Green, Richard Mason, Don Berchtold, Herbert Hackett, William Greer, John Kice, Albert Haynes, Henry Wright, Richard Smoker, Billy Timothy, and Edward Widener. Following initiation, this group presented the traditional Neophyte Dinner of fried chicken with trimmings to the rest of the house.

Six new pledges have been collected.

They are Tredwell Harrison, Long Island, New York; Sam Fox, Terre Haute; Ted Shaw, Bonville; Max Overton, Rennssalaer; Bob McHenry, Anderson; Tom Somers, Fort Wayne. These men will eventually all live in the house.

An interfraternity softball league has held the athletic spotlight all spring and summer. We finished high in the stand- ¡ ings during the spring term, but our success in the summer competition was, t<? say the least, unnoticeable. Losing pitcher Clyde "Cannonball" Whitson to the. Air Corps was a major blow. Opposmg teams began getting hits instead of the usual three walks and three strikeouts each inning.

Venerable Dean Paul Homsher was recently elected Editor -in -Chief of the Debris, Purdue's yearbook. Among his staff of junior editors are Acacians Don Berchtold and Herb Hackett. The Purdue Engineer, a monthly magazine of the Engineering College, is is now being edited

by Crews Perkey, a sailor active. Dick (Continued on page 9)

The Triad, October, 1944

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

Acacians in the service, both on this continent and overseas, receive copies of the TRIAD whether subscribers or not. All camp and service libraries--there are 252 of them-receive several copies of the TRIAD regularly. This will do much to keep the men in touch with the Fraternity and enable them to get in touch with men located in the same camp or station.
