We sit here in confusion in this
mighty institution. We think that
we need abolition of things like
rejuvenation and then we make
our contribution to stop such per
secution. We know our elocution
is like a strong intrusion upon the
absolution of this, our retribution.
And in the distribution we use
some convolution to hide the rank
pollution and evils in seclusion.
Up in the air, no foolin', is Pi
Phi Mary Larkin who becomes an
air hostess come the first of June.
She's been accepted with the stip
ulation that she grows one-half
inch between this very day and
the first of June . . . She's the
pin mate of DU Milt Meyer . . .

Old Mystery Called
'Case of the Missing Glove'
Is Solved in West Stadium
Nobody stole it brother, you
lost it. If you don't believe it, why
don't you tear over to the lost and
found department in the west sta
dium. Of course we can't guaran
tee that you'll get everything you
lost, but if it happens to be one
glove, they've got it.
Of all lost articles turned in,
single gloves are the most fre
quent. Most of the lost and lonely
are turned in after the football
and basketball games. However,
with articles turned in then, the
turnover is rapid, many of the peo
ple claiming their things after the
last point has been scored. Frat

Best Dressed Soldiers . . .
Olive Drab Replaces Color
Worn by Army in Last War
By Pat Chamberlin
Olive drab in varying shades will
be worn by the army this season,
and for the duration, no doubt, ac
cording to the fashion-conscious
chief officer in the army recruiting
offices in the post office building.
Olive drab, replacing the khaki
of the laJ war, will designate the
enlisted men from the commis
sioned officers. Except for this
difference in color, officers' and
enlisted men's uniforms are much
alike, both following closely the
civilian trend to longer, better fit
ting coats, which are called blouses
by army regulars, and the formally
creased business man's trousers.
Certain equipment also identifies
the soldier to the trained eye.
Air corps uniforms and enlisted
men's are of serge, the blouse
darker O. D. than the trousers.
O. D. socks and brown shoes or
oxfords and brass buttons add fin
ish to the BDOC in the army. He
may or may not wear a garrison
belt, and either covers hia head
with a garrison cap having the
familiar bill or with an overseas
cap.
B. D. O. U. S. A.
The best-dressed officer in Uncle
Sam's service will wear trousers of
darker O. D. than his blouse, per
haps complimented with a sand
brown belt. His garrison cap will
be banded with O. D. In the win
ter a black four-in-hand is worn,
and a khaki tie completes the sum
mer costume of khaki.
Chevrons, decorations of all
sorts, and insignia of rank are
found in one of three positions on
the sleeve of the uniform, accord
ing to the requirements for the
particular decoration.
In all branches of the army
service, the particular uniform de
pends upon the climate where op
erations take place. The newly-

books, minus the money, show up.
People come in to claim their
lost articles in spurts, depending
on the value of the article. There
isn't so much loot this year as
there was last year, because peo
ple are beginning to realize the
worth of things.
If you insist on not collecting
your belongings, you can console
yourself with the fact that you are
benefitting mankind in general for

itable organizations after a rea
sonable length of time has elapsed.

An airman on flying duty is per
mitted to wear whatever he finds
most convenient and comfortable,
but of course on ground duty he
must report in the O. D. of the
service. Parachute troopers are
covered by heavy coveralls, a
leather helmet, and reinforced
landing boots, plus all their spe
cialized equipment for his partic
ular part in the army.

War Terminates WPA
Project in Morrill Hall
Because of the war, the WPA
project at the university museum
closed last month after four years'
work on the museum's collection
of fossils. Under the direction of
members of the museum staff, the
first workers, local men, were
trained in the spring of 1938 for
the task of cleaning, repairing,
and restoring fossil bones.
Several of the WPA men were
carpenters employed to build new
storage cases and to renovate ex
hibition cases in Morril Hall.
During the four years, the pro
ject as a whole prepared over a
quarter-million fossil specimens
constructed nearly a thousand
drawers for the storage of finished
specimens, and in addition built
several hundred square feet of
shelving, ten cases for storing
mounted birds, four cabinets for
bird and mammal skins, and sev
eral cases for the storage or min
erals and rocks.
As a result of this work, the
museum's study collections of fos
sils, which are probably the best
in the middle-west, have been

Propaganda . , .
(Continued from Page 1.)
The doctor declared that he be
lieved the FBI has had much to
do with keeping down the hysteria .
which appeared in the last war,
when, he said, "evn in the univer
sity we went around suspecting
everybody of being a spy." In this
war, according to Jenness, the
people have confidence that the in
vesigatlons of the FBI are suf
feient. "A very natural human chara
cteristic of all people," Jenness
said," is that we're unwilling to
admit just how bad things can be,"
He cited the findings of psycho
logists at Harvard who learned
that in a majority of the writings
of refugees who came from Eu
rope this tendency to fail to "re
alize what happened could hap
pen" was prevalent. "It's alright
to be optimistic, but at the same
time, it's a good policy to do all
we can in preparing for the
worst."
Public Opinion Changed.,
Jenness believes that although
sentiment in this country a few
years ago was very high against
any participation in war, a few
far-seeing people here saw what
was coming and started sentiment
the other way.
"When a fairly sure defeat oc
curs, something relatively unim
portant is played up," Jenness
said, He pointed out the playing
up of the attack on Marshall Is
lands by the United Nations at a
time when the fall of Singapore
seemed apperent, as an example
of this.
However, in a democracy you
try to pursuade the people, not
compel them, he said, 'and regard
ing the whole thing, psychologists
don't know the answers. Of this I
am sure."
