by the bravery of the American
soldiers there.
“Our magnificent troops
forged forward in the face of
bitter opposition, as a protect

from a distant mountain pinna
cle.” he cabled to his editor.
The editor wired back: “Never
mind the war—interview Jeho

if possible.”

According to what your reporter
can gather via the grapevine, Sgt.
Kanouse had been going to Medi-
School when Uncle Sam finally

more years to go to get his MD,
so now he's going back to school
to finish up. Luck to you, Sarge!

luck, kids!
Home Life
Here’s a tip to you fellows who
have wives or girl friends coming
to visit you or to make their
homes here. The Judson House has
recently been opened in Corvallis
at 242 North 10th Street, tele
phone 897. The house is a reno
vated fraternity house and has
been opened as a temporary “place
of refuge,” for your use while you
are looking around for an apart
ment or a house.
It seems that T Sgt. Patrick
J. Durkin, of the Sgt. Major’s
Office, is getting good experi
ence at changing tires. He’s had
3 flat tires in one week! Try and
beat that record! Cheer up, Pat
—better luck next time!
