f New Instructor Comments On American Men Any country which can produce the type of men that we produce certainly is good for my money,” declared Mr. Edwin L. Clark, in structor in speech, in an interview at his office Wednesday. “My ex perience with the American GI's led me to believe that they are certainly an outstanding represen tation of what democracy can pro duce.” Clark, who is new on the cam pus this term, stated firmly that he believed the GI’s will stick to their post-war quest for higher educa tion, and that the avalanche of V veterans into universities and col leges will not wane for some time to come. Clark Speech Grad By way of further introduction, Clark was graduated in speech from the University of Iowa in 1939, took graduate work there, and in 1942 enlisted in the army as a private. Commissioned in De cember of that year after three months at the officers’ candidate school at Ft. Benning, Georgia, he was immediately sent overseas. “I was there throughout the whole of the Philippine campaign,” Clark said. In fact, we had just completed our amphibious train ing for the invasion of Japan when the war ended.” They were to have been part of a diverting movement, staged on the extreme southern end Hailes HAPPARELHM044 WiU. FOR THOSE NEW SUITS CHECKS and PLAIN CARDIGANS of Hiroshima, to cover the actual invasion, when the end of the war “came as a new lease on life,” he grinned. Mrs. Clark Teaching Mrs. Clark, also a former Iowan, is teaching on the campus this fall in the speech department, as is her husband. During the war, she became acquainted with the Pa cific northwest as personnel coun selor at the Kaiser shipyards. “I guess she developed webfeet,” was Clark’s comment. At *kny rate, they’re still here. As to first impressions, Clark feels he has been the victim of a propagandist. “They told me it was warm and balmy out here in Oregon," he said aggrievedly, pro nouncing it “Ah-re-gahn” but last Tuesda y’s bitter temperature caused him to revise his ideas a little. After three years overseas, the Orient intrigues Clark. Most of the time he served as infantry pla toon leader, in the Hawaiian Islands, Guadalcanal, New Britain, New Guinea, Panai, and other bat tlegrounds whose names are now familiar to occidental ears. He was stationed in Korea prior to his return to the states, and he found it “a very interesting and fasci nating place.” While he was wait ing there, some air corps friends took him over to Shanghai, and on the way back to the States he visited Tokyo.
