Carl Huffaker (Continued from page one) lhat strikes me as exceptional. I suspect that it is not the so-called “manana” concept that slows these countries down, but, instead, a passionate love for the details in today’s life that permits no visions of the future. A person who bargains for 15 minutes in buying one egg is not the dream er who envisions great enterpris es, but still, despite its eommon plaee nature, his life is full.” He pays tribute to the progress which has been made as a re sult of plane exploration, and pro phesies that the airplane is the instrument that wil make the jungle productive to civilization. His imagination compares it to the pioneering of the west in the United States, with the same values and resources for the country’s good which a frontier always brings to civilization. There are many amusing inci dents which Huffaker includes— a description of the rains when the rain comes down “with a noise like a long line of trucks rumbling across an old wooden covered bridge back home,” the traffic problem which is even worse than the five o’clock jams around de fense plants here, the drivers pass ing and driving on either side of the street and relying entirely on the strength of their horn and their nerve; and the usual descrip tion of the bull fights. Huffaker finishes his letter with a glowing1 tribute to the South A merican continent: “There's something here some thing young, vigorous, and un known. This is a country full of future. The land itself is rich with promise. The people are those that you would gather to form a great people. South America is a variety of climates, of natural resources, of peoples, of cultures. Here dreamers have planted seeds which are growing like those of ancient, legends, toward great ness. This is the Mecca of the visionaries and creators of the world. Here is tomorrow—I know now that I must be a part of it." "TOP MAN" with Donald O’Connor Suzanna Foster Peggy Ryan I I jj7s. /vt.

When a marine outfit arrived there recently, its com manding officer decided that the men would do all their marine duties to the tones of a bugle. Many months a nd no bugling, and a desire to “be a truck driver, anyhow,” had dulled the company bugler’s ability to play and the resulting sounds were anything but harmonious. After a tortuous week it was decided to grant the “Music’s” (and everyone else’s) wish and the next day the bugler blossomed out with a great big 10-wheel truck and a new Music was chos en, but with no better results. An apoplectic lieutenant, who had been suffering greatly from the conditions, dashed out his tent in the direction of the noises. Sev eral hours later a new call was sounded, which surprisingly enough was recognized by the marines who were soon felicitat ing the Music for the excellence of his bugling. Now Second Lieutenant Karl It.

Scott had avert ed an inevitable crisis by person ally training the company bugler. “Had I not given him some ‘dope' he'd have improved by himself. He had to—he couldn't go on the other way,’’ stated Lt. Scott in disclaiming overmuch credit for the aamzing transition. Lt. Scott received his B.A. de gree from the University in 1939 and his M.A. in 1942. He served in the army in the 162nd infantry band for nine months before re turning to the University campus for his master's degree. It was while working for his master’s degree, Lt. Scott taught as a graduate assistant under Andrew Vincent, professor of drawing and painting in the school of architecture. His mast er's thesis was a mural which covers the south wall of the of fice of Dr. H. G. Townsend, head of the philosophy department, in Chapman hall. Scott enlisted in the marines in the sumer of 1942. He took his oficer’s training at Quantico, Vir ginia, and received his commis sion. He was for a time stationed at San Diego before going to the South Pacific. He was married in 1942 and his wife and child arc now living in Portland. While at the University he was known as a hot trumpet player and played with several dance bands in this locality. r? > afc.'^rifg Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour in "DIXIE" also "BAR 20" ISA to Hold Mixer Following OSC Game An informal mixer for all in dependents, including civilian men and soldiers on the campus is scheduled for Saturday, Jan uary 15, according to Esther Grif fith, chairman.
