QUARTERMASTER
Theodore the Timber Wolf
The Old Sentry Spirit
Is Here Evidenced
A rookie war correspondent
saw his first action in North
Africa and was much impressed
by the bravery of the American
soldiers there.
“Our magnificent troops
forged forward in the face of
bitter opposition, as a protect­
ing Jehovah brooded over them
from a distant mountain pinna­
cle.” he cabled to his editor.
The editor wired back: “Never
mind the war—interview Jeho­
vah! Get several action pictures
if possible.”

"Haven’t ! seen you—somewhere—before?’’
A graduate of Harvard Univers­
ity, they liked his style so well he
was “held over” for eight solid
weeks. The nurses have asked him
to play a return engagement, as
the conversation of some of the
other bedridden bedbugs, was too
un-interesting, un-intelligent, and
un-gentle-(GI)-manly like.
The grad turned down this offer,
on the grounds that it was unbe­
coming a Harvard gentleman to re­
main amidst the white of the sur­
rounding atmosphere, the blue of
the nurses dress uniform, and the
red on his face. The red of course,
followed her daily question: “Did
you move your ------ today?”

T 3 Orville D. Kanouse, from
Surgery, left the other day for the
University of Idaho in Moscow.
According to what your reporter
can gather via the grapevine, Sgt.
Kanouse had been going to Medi-
School when Uncle Sam finally
caught up with him. He had two
more years to go to get his MD,
so now he's going back to school
to finish up. Luck to you, Sarge!
Pfc. Williford Lindsey, of the

from the hospital guard to MP

Pvt. Earl M. Anderson, of Unit

bells will ring for him on that
day. And the bride?—Miss Lor-
raine Lamroux of Eugene. Lots of
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!
