Man must adjust to his cosmic environment He seeks the meaning of the universe." , "He who finds his life in har mony with the will of God has the most stable life." "Integration is achieved by finding some cause to which one commits oneself, about which all the forces of one's personality are organized." i General discussion : followed Dean Holman's lectures and a vote of thanks was given him at the conclusion of the course.

To understand the Munda cam paign one must be acquinted with what faced our boys. No one of the army units involved in the New Georgia campaign had com bat .experience in dense Jungle fighting. . On New Georgia we faced more toying conditions than we P ever " experienced on Guadalcanal. I know for I took part in both cam paign's. The jungles of New Geor gia, matted, twisted, dense under brush behind which lurked sud-; den death, were nerve-wracking i in both Flora and Fauna. Insect life was more pre dominant Snakes were an add ed determent we did not face on Guadalcanal. Rain was constant Trails could not be used because every one was of Japanese origin and booby trapped, mined and guarded. ; Infantry was. useless in . such conditions. It was necessary to bring into play the heavies, air strikes. . naval shelling and artil lery. And with our troops within a hundred or so yards of the enemy at alT times, the most meituclous pattern had to be car ried ' ou t Planes manned by the most marvelleous kids imaginable tore into the Munda plain and dropped bombs 50 yards from our foxholes. Thirty-five yards would have caused us casualties from our own bombs. Yet we suffered not a single casualty from these air strikes. . , Riverboat Fire Loss $100,000.
