Fate Decrees Against Action
Overseas for Canadian Soldier
A combination of mumps and
victory prevented disappointed
Canadian-born Fred Tynan from
“overseas action.
Nineteen-year-old Tynan, whose
home is in Vancouver, B. C., was
taking a senior marticulation
course (first year university work)
at McGee high school, but chose
to join the army in January, 1945,
instead of completing the school
year. Fred took his basic training
at Wetaskwin, Alberta, and his
advanced training in Calgary.
“V-E Day was announced before I
finished my advanced,” Fred said,
‘‘so I volunteered for the Pacific.”
The volunteers were sent to Ver
non, B. C., for training in Ameri
can weapons before being sent to
Florida to take further weapon
training.
Caught Mumps
While at Calgary, the man
sleeping in the bed next to Fred
came down with the mumps. The
district M. O. quarantined all the
men who had been near the pa
'fTent, and they were sent to a near
by lake for two weeks. “During the
time I was gone, I missed the draft
that was going to Camp Shilo,
Sask., to join the Seaforth High
landers, which was one of the three
regiments being sent to the Pa
cific,” Fred said. The war was over
before another draft was sent and
Fred was discharged in Septem
ber.
Asked how he liked camp life,
the blond, hazel-eyed veteran re
plied that he hadn’t minded camp,
but added fervently, “I hate biv
ouacs, and I despise intensely all
things that resemble K-rations.
This is off the subject,” he added,
“but my pet peeves are zombies.”
A zombie is the Canadian term ap
plied to draft dodgers. Fred is
qualified as a marksman with

Bren gun and with a rifle. “I think
the Bren gun is the best weapon of
any used by the Allied armies,”
he observed.
Mad Hats
The tall Canadian mentioned
that the garrison cap of the Amer
ican soldiers is confusing. He
laughingly recalled, “I once salut
ed an American private wearing a
garrison cap, because he thought
he was an officer. In Canada
only officers are allowed to. wear
them.”
Asked why he came to the
University, Fred replied that one
of his teachers had told him of the
excellent school of architecture
here, and he had taken his advice.
“The social life here is wonderful,”
Fred remarked, “and everyone is
very friendly and willing to lend
a hand whenever possible.” He
consumes quantities of American
eokes, but prefers Canadian cig
arettes to American brands.
While on the campus Fred is liv
ing in the Green room at John
Straub dormitory. -1

individual, would not do it. Or my
group would not do it.
Perhaps your trouble is that
you have heard some of this foul
stuff that is coming out under the
heading of “Jazz.” You, as an in
telligent listener, and I have no
doubt that you are an intelligent
listener, have rejected it as un
worthy. And rightly so. That
harkins to that base evil of jazz
men everywhere, the commercial
jazz. It not only prostitutes itself
to the commercial aspect, but tries
to play on your sentimentalism.
And as Shakespeare, and Dr.
Lesch, poined out, a sentimentalist
is dangerous. In this case, dang
erous to the future of jazz.
Well, there it is, kids. The
straight dope. Next week, I will
try to give a definition of jazz and
the changes that have taken place
on the jazz scene, especially as to
form. Also the part that the band
bookers have had in the degrading
of the finer form of jazz.
One last item, Willamette Park
opens this Saturday, the 20th, with
Jan Garber. But not the Jan
Garber that you knew. He has re
vamped his band, and is now back
on a Micky kick. That is, a very
commercial crew, paced by Guy
Lumbago styled and played ar
rangements. I’ll leave the rest up
to your imagination.
Take five, boys . . .
Human beings are the only
erdatures with mastoid cells in
the bony structure surrounding
the ears.
Due to the shortage of whiskey
these days everyone is forced to
gin and beer it.

Night Prowler Vanishes
When Police Are Called
A twig snapped. A dog growled
angrily. There was a shout and
hurried footsteps. In the dim
light of the nearby street lamp
the figure of a fnan was seen
running across the grass with the
barking dog following closely at
his heels.
Thus it was that girls in Hen
dricks hall were warned of a
prowler between 1:30 and 2:00
a.m. Tuesday night. The girls had
just returned to bed after an early
morning fire drill when the growl
ing dog called their attention to
a shabbily dressed man of about
fifty hovering under the windows.
Police were notified but the
man had escaped when they
had arrived. They were able to
locate the dog however, and hoped
it would be able to lead them to
the prowler.
