KHAKI CLIPS
This Is IT
By DICK MURWAY
On Sunday mornings it is always
this way—
At eight-thirty my roommate
Miles Hall wakes me from a sound
three or four hour sleep and tells
me I'll miss breakfast if I don't
hurry. I tell him I’ll miss break
fast if I don’t hurry. I tell him
I'll miss breakfast and turn back
to the wall. At nine "Red” Toomb
trots into the room, grabs my
shoulder with one hand and with
the other prods me below the ribs,
at the same time urging in his un
kind voice: “Get up, you-. Let’s
play some ball.” I say, "Some other
time.” At nine-fifteen he is back
with "Frenchy” Heller, who says,
"C’mon, you-. You gonna play
some ball?”
By this time I am fully awake
an might as well get up, but stub
bornly I refuse to follow someone
else’s schedule on the seventh day
of the week. By then Joe Butkus
lias returned from church, changed
to liis fatigues, and is noisily pol
ishing his shoes by the window.
Joe is one of the few lads who can
polish his shoes noisily. He arouses
John C. Wilson and John, noticing
tnat my eyes are halt-open, won
ders if I wouldn’t like to go to
church this Sunday, for a change.
He knows I wouldn’t like to, but
takes some form of sadistic plea
sure in repeatedly asking me.
At ten-fifteen A1 Young, the
other columnist on this page, stag
gers in and inquires about break
fast. Yeah, how would I like to eat
breakfast at Taylor’s or the An
chorage? “Wait a while,” I tell
him. His coal-dark eyes haven’t
begun to focus yet, but he nods
and wanders off to seduce Wilbur
Middleton into accompanying him.
All during the two hours here
tofore described, Carl Webber has
been walking back and forth from
his room to the shower, always
booming out, “Hello, Dick,” each
time he passes ray bed. Three or
four times he will ask me if it is
unethical, his going to church be
cause his girl goes to church. I can
not decide upon philosophical ques
tions until afternoon, I explain.
Then at ten-thirty Rodman B.
Miller enters my life. Rodman is a
tine boy; I don’t want anyone to
bfflfcVe I think otherwise. But he
usually goes to the movie on Sat
urday night and if he has seen a
double faeture, he tells me the
complete plots of both pictures.
That is why I hate double-features.
Into my defenseless ears, from
Rodman’s broad, beaming mouth,
go the wonderful details of Love
and Life as Hollywood portrays

them. Last week he saw "Tin
Rains Came" and "Under Twc
Flags,” both of which I vaguelj
recalled seeing five years before
Over my protests he outlined tin
two stories, commented on how
Claudette Colbert has changed, anc
retold each humorous line so he
could laugh heartily again.
And so, at eleven, in self-defense
I am forced to climb from my bed
dress and get me some breakfast
No doubt Sherman was thinking
of a routine like this when he made
his comment on the nature of war
Bill O'Beirne, right guide deluxe
sings "Shoo, Shoo, Baby" as Flight
B relentlessly plow's a path across
the campus. Much more effective
than "pardon us" when a forma
tion comes up from behind upon
unsuspecting coeds, Bill claims.

Questions, Answers
About the WAVES
Do all WAVES begin as ap
prentice seamen?
Yes, even officer candidates.
However, after the indoctrination
and training period there are auto
matic promotions. Higher ratings
thereafter depend on ability and
length of service.
How do qualifications for WAVE
officers differ from those for en
listed personnel?
A college degree, or two years
of college work plus acceptable
business or professional experience,
is required. Eye and teeth stand
ards are slightly higher. Women up
to 50 years of age are eligible.
These are the principal differences
in requirements.
How long are WAVES on duty
daily?
Theoretically, WAVES are al
ways on duty. Practically, the work
is no more arduous than in an
efficientlyr - managed business. No
WAVE candidate, however, should
be actuated by a desire for an easy,
glamorous life. WAVES have
plenty of time for recreation, but
the important thing is to do a job
quickly and well and thereby con
tribute toward earlier termination
of the war.
Information about tha WAVES is avail
able by telephone, letter or personal call
at any Navy Recruiting Station or Office
of Naval Officer Procurement,

On Fillies—For some time now
we have been reading the Oregon
Daily Emerald. At times we have
picked up this little epistle of con
temporary American journalism,
and have been confronted by an
article which quotes the remarks
of some fresh soldier. It seems that
young women do not like to sit in
the ‘Side’ and have some soldier
whisper to one of his buddies,
“Sex!” or “piano legs , . as he
quaffs his beer.
However, it is not always the
: soldier that makes the fresh re
| mark. For instance, only the other
; night we were sipping our beer
quietly when four of the local
boomer girls walked in and sat
down in the booth across from us.
We couldn’t help noticing the drape
shape that these women of Oregon
possessed; to an outsider it might
nave appeared that we were star
! >ng. Actually, of course, we were
only displaying- an academic inter
est. After they had stared us down,
we returned to our discussion of
Cezanne’s art and once again took
up the goblets of liquid gold.
We don't quite know how it hap
pened but in a few minutes it be
came quite obvious that remarks
were being made about our little
group.
“Gee, ‘Lis’ look at the cute lit
tle one with the mustache.’’
“Yeh, but he doesn't touch that
one in the corner that looks like
Jack the Ripper,” ‘Liz’ replied out
of the end of he'r cigarette.
; They they looked at us we guess
... for the next thing we heard
i was, “Those other guys aren’t bad
but didja catch a gander at the
guy sittin’ on this side. Whatta
fish.”
“Yeh, a dead one.”
And they think we are fresh.
Maybe.
