she could never teach Ix'tause of the pupils thai

otilv the iiiinoiitx who disliked her. and it is
the majoriiv lhat counts.
I he women that
had personal interviews with
the dean seemed to get a great deal from talking
with her. hSe listened to their problems and
gave clear, concise answers.
At the dinner Fridav night, she sjxike more
lo the fat till v inemliers, and answered questions
that thev asked concerning hoxv thev rould help
the students adjust themselxes to the war. and
the problems that xvill arise after the eaie.
One of the main pieces of work that xvill
have to be carried on after the war is the rehabilitation program in the countries lhat haxe
starxed. froen, and surered the shot ks of bliles
and o) actual combat. This will he a problem
that xvill haxe lo le dealt with by. the women
of the I'nited States, mote ih.th bv those of anx
other connlrx.
It xvill be their job in aid in making the peoples of the world physically fit and mentallv

Approximately- X senior women signed for

All we can sax is thai we think they missed
Miiiuihiiig worth while, for we listened in on
fust of the interviews, and enjoxetl even minute
l them.
Our thanks to Miss I.lovd for taking part of
her xcrx valuable lime to come to help us.

jobs they want when ihev graduate as being

The question that was rcxaicd to Miss Alice

The Whirlwind
By Ed Barnes
She was only a .snowman's daughter, but she was too hot for Miss
Lester. The girls over at the dorm
decided that building snowmen was
a thing of the past, so they built a
. . good
for a whistle
any day
so much so that Miss
Lester made the girls tear down
their creation.
New Members
Many organizations on the campus are faced with a problem somewhat different from any other in
previous years. Take Lamp and
Cross for instance; if they don't
take in new members from the junior class, they won't have any one
to carry on the colors when the war
is over. Normally, the senior honorary would initiate their new
members at the beginning of next
quarter, but by that time all of the
juniors, who would be considered
candidates, will be deep in the mud
of Benning.
To complicate the picture. Jim
Crowley i"Big Richard" of Lamp
and Cross says his hands are tied
until he hears from Lances, the jun"They," barked big
ior honorary.
Jim. "cannot accept a bid to Lamp
and Cross until the new sophomores
are full fledged Lances members."
The problem will undoubtedly be
acted upon in the very near future.

To The War,

To The War I Must Go
A mile or two outside Abbottabad

a senior general staff officer on
tour came upon the scene of an accident. A lorry containing sepoys
on its way to the railhead at Have-lia- n
had overturned and thrown
them out.
The majority of the sepoys suffered from cuts and other injuries,
but they were all in the highest
spirits, declaring that they were
' (:-- . .heir way to the war." and that
was all t:u: mattered.
Pressed by the officer, they reluctantly admitted that one man miaht
be "slightly hurt." This seemed to
be something of an
in view of the fact that he appeared, from a layman's examination,
to be suffering from a number of
injuries, including a suspected fractured collar-bonThe Officer suggested that the
man should be sent back to hospital, but this met with the stubborn disapproval of the Pathan
N.C.O. in charge of the party, who
said the man would be bitterly disappointed when he woke up and
found he had "missed the war."
The staff officer was about to
insist that the man should be sent
back when the matter was settled
by the sepoy himself. Recovering
consciousness, he had overheard
the conversation, and crawled into
a relief truck with his companions.
F"rom this position he proclaimed
feebly but extremely firmly, that he
was a "Pathan off to the war." and
that he certainly was not going back
to Abbottabad.
The Officer allowed the sepoy to
have the last word.
