Lt* Bob Flavelle, Marine, Here on Terminal Leave By Dorothy Thomson First Lieutenant Bob Flavelle of the marine air corps, a Uni versity journalism major, class of ’41, and co-sports editor of the Emerald in 1940-41, is now on terminal leave in the campus after some months service overseas. Although most of his over seas experiences were routine flights, such as the anti-sub pa trots, he experienced an exciting moment when, during a bombing n ission, his Curtis Hell Diver de veloped motor trouble and he and his rear gunner were forced out of the plane. They managed to get out of the sinking plane and after sev eral hours in a life raft, were res cued by a patrol craft. No Jap Planes Flavelle reports that in his whole time overseas, from January to Oc tober 1945, he never saw a Jap pfane in the air. Most of his as signments were in rear areas, small islands which had been in vaded by Yanks but never com pletely taken. The Marshall Islands were his first stop from the States and lat er the Island of Uiithi which he described as “dreary”. His des cription went on to say, “Uiithi is an atoll which seems about as big as Hayward field." The 3200-foot runway represented the longest Stretch of the island.

From the air they resembled quite convincingly bomb craters filled with water but the camera detected the fraud and the bombing continued. “On the nigh tof August 9, 1945” Flavelle recalled, “I was awakened by the sound of loud whoopings and hollerings. I thought at first it was a Jap sucide landing on the beach, as there had been one re cently, but it turned out to be surrender news.” After that they had orders not to bomb the Jap installations but the Japs continued to fire at our planes. He Sings, Too Post-discharge plans are not definite as yet but Flavelle hopes Many Activities At Westminster By NANCY STOLZ Westminster House is there to use! It’s not just for the regularly scheduled meetings and fun affairs but also for students utility. Those who live off the campus can use it as a place to leave their books and to eat their lunches. There is a complete kitchen just for students' use. so they can bring something to be heated if they wish. West minster is also open as a place to study. With everyplace else so crowded or noisy, students should welcome a really quiet spot for studying. Why not try it? Tonight at 6:00 Westminster will hold one of its regular Thurs day night “pot-luck” dinners. All students and faculty are invited to come and bring a pot or dish of something to eat. Open house is Friday night from 8 to 12 and you can come and dance, sing or play games. Classical records are played every Saturday evening till 11:00 p.m. You can come and play theirs or bring your own. Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 there is a Bible study class. This week Dr. Norman K. Tully, minister of the Presbyterian church, will lead the discussion on “How Your Bible Grew Up.” ,1 For the neatness which means \ good grooming!

Another possibili ty is operetta singing, a field in which he has had experience in New Jersey and New York. Flavelle’s one complaint is that the name of his brother, Brian, Class of ’40, a B-24 pilot who was killed on August 1, 1943 in Ploesti, Rumania, is not among the Uni versity list of war dead.

COURTEOUS, DEPENDABLE DRIVERS . . . GIVING YOU QUICK SERVICE Notes on Record (c onnmiea jrom vuy* called “Favorite Melodies^ from the Hour of Charm.” Bearable only when a few good numbers are in serted on the program (as when Rogndahl soloed) the Hour of Charm’s repertoire is notoriously dull. When a whole album is issued containing such gems as “The •Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Love’s Old Sweet Song,” and “The National Emblem March,” the result is • downright odious. Don’t waste your pennies on this one . . . To take this bad taste away, listen to Rachmaninoff’s recording of Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud.” This gay waltz is played expertly by the great Russian pianist and the absence of surface noise is most enjoyable. The price: only one dollar. DROP IN AND CHAT WITH "DOC" over a sundae or a "coke" at the Lemon-0 Cor. 13th and Alder “Doc” Ireland, Prop.
