Flotsam and Jetsam

You probably read in last week's issue of the Harvard Crimson that the Service News will be a bi-weekly paper beginning in July and you are now urged to get behind this paper and make it something interesting and appealing to all. If you have done any newspaper work or some editing back in high school or college and you are desirous of devoting a little time to writing for the Service News which is now being organized, you are urged to submit your name and address to Lt. O'Neil of the Welfare and Recreation Office. You will be contacted, interviewed and be given definite assignments in the future.

It seemed as though everybody showed up for Dog's Smoker at the Hasty Pudding Club last Friday. It means a lot of hard work so we had better start planning the next one. A vote of thanks should be extended to Walter Ollen, chairman of the affair, for his efforts on our behalf .. it did take a lot of his time and now we find him in Study Hall. He does feel that it was well worth, it, however, and it willing to do it all over again.

Add to the names on the "New Poppa List" that of Warren Barth who did a bit of cigar passing last Friday when he heard all about the eight pound body girl back home ... and to the list of "Potential Middle Aislers" that of T. J. Runbrandt who will be doing just that on the 4th of June.

It has been suggested that the Company Commanders aid those who are having trouble with their--typing by counting cadence, "J--U--G--Space," instead of the usual "Hep--1--2--3--4" .. The latest in Military cadence songs has been inaugurated by Platoon No. 5 in Dog Company when they gave out with a "Happy Birthday to you" to celebrate a fellow platooner's birthday.

Since the mentioning of the swell Chicks at the Wellesley affairs in this column, the lists have been filled with prospects and those who weathered the storm last weekend were well rewarded ... Nary a black eye in the whole crowd ... they must be pulling their punches?

I wonder why the Lads in the Blinking Light class wear dark glasses? ... Heck, I don't have any trouble falling asleep without them ... R. E. Pye didn't have any trouble along those lines either when he dozed off listening to "Minus One ... Take off Two Points."
