SU /Mud Flats Turn Grassy Green
The day has passed when xi'iting newspaper columnists
from t tregon State can remark alwnit the -ea of mud •
rounding the Student Union, as one did several months aip*.
The fact that spring has sprung has never been so vividly

the "gTass has rit.”
The arrival of the grass around the Student l nion came un

scurity to one of the most responsible positions in the world
as successor to MacArthur. The man to whom he turns over
his 8th army command Lt. Gen. James Alward Van I* Icet. has
a long and highly distinguished military past.
