Writes From Texas

recently wrote a letter to the Em

As usual, the army has stuck
me in the closest thing to over

to guard them. This life is the

inside the compound, NOTHING
ever happens.
“Too bad about Oregon getting
beat in basketball, but maybe next

gets back that should help some.
New Forces
“Do you ever run into Leon Wil
liams or any of the other guys I
knew? I’ll bet there are plenty of
new faces back on the campus,
and with the fraternities going,
oh well, I’m just day dreaming, I
