Naval ROTC Companies
Vie in Defense Stamp Drive
Its
Here Again . . .
Campus-wide defense stamp and
bond drives have been opened at
many universities this semester.
Among them. Northwest ern's
naval ROTC unit has started a
drive to he conducted on a com
petitive b;tsis.
The company with the largest
number of sales will receive points
towards the award of company col
ors, and in addition, five dollars in
defense savings stamps will be
awarded to the member of the unit
whose sales are the largest in any
one month.
Since the stamps are easily
damaged when carried around
loosely, arrangements have been
made to have tickets printed which
are worth one 25 tent stamp.
These nay be exchanged for
stamps at the student activities
window at Scott hall. "Purple Sal
vo," the unit's official newsmaga
zine, financed the printing of the
tickets.
Across the country from North
western, students at Oregon U
continued their individual pledging
campaign for bonds and stamps
and gave houses another oppor
tunity to reach the 100 percent
mark.
Seventy-five cents per person
on the campus was the average
pledged by 522 people contacted
during the initial 12 hour cam
paign period.
Violinist Kreisler
Co-Authors Song
For Wisconsin
MADISON. Wis. (ACP). Fritz
Kreisler, the violinist, and Dr
Clarence A. Dykstra, president of
the University of Wisconsin, are
working on a hymn to the glory
of Wisconsin.
The melody and lyrics already
have been written once, but the
authors decline to have the work
performed publicly until they are
convinced they cannot make fur
ther improvements.
The new song grew out of a
conversation in Washington while
Dykstra was on leave of absence
as first administrator of selective
service.
The talk turned to music and
Dykstra declared Wisconsin could
use another song, providing it
was a good one.
"Why don't you and I get to
gether, Fritz?" he asked. "You

Fresno Forms
First College
Aviation Unit
Twelve, Fresno State College
students were accepted last week
by the U. S. navy to form the
first college aviation unit -the
"Flying Bulldog" squadron on
completion of their basic training
at the Oakland air base.
The FSC students will take a
primary training course in Oak
land for nine weeks, and if they
pass this successfully, will be
scheduled to take basic flight
training at another naval air base,
where, according to navy author
ity, they will form the college
squadron.
Although Georgia Teeh and Col
gate universities are attempting
to form units now, Fresno State
deserves credit for being the first
college in the United State to en
ter a complete flying unit in this
branch of the armed services.
"The main purpose of forming
groups like the 'Flying Bulldogs,
according to the chief electrician's
mate in charge of recruiting in
Fresno, "is, of course, to strength
en morale, and to give the men a
chance to stay with their college
associates."
write the melody and I'll write the
words.
"We'll do it," Kreisler said.
After Dykstra had completed
his job as draft director he re
turned to Madison. It wasn't long
before he received a manuscript
from Kreisler with a notation that
the music needed some polishing
but the phrasing was there and
he should get busy on the words.
