CLASS 9 DEPARTS
This week another contingent of
aviation students from the 348th
College Training Detachment de
parted for Santa Ana Army Air
Base, Santa Ana, California, after
completion of a three month
course here at the university. In
addition to their academics, the
course consisted of flying instruc
tion taken by the men at the Unin
Air Terminal.
Requested to presenta a summa
tion of their life at the University
of Nebraska, the following report
was submitted:
"Sir, the aviation students of
Class 9 report to make a state

You may remember: The "Honest. I'm

These are our thoughts as we
leave the university. For many it
was our first taste of college life.
The patience and help of our in

surroundings, the charm of the
coeds are soon to become but
memories. We, the Aviation Stu
dents who are leaving, wish to
thank you for these memories
which will be among the nicer ones
of our army life.

Star Notes
BY SGT. C D. SHOKES.
Last Saturday night, the STAR

dance, with music by a band from
the Lincoln Air Base, and girls
from UN and Wesleyan university.
Good music, refreshment, and bed
check postponed until 12:30 added
to the "good time had by all." The
men are now enthusiastic about
the possibilities of a Hallowe'en
dinner and dance.
A nucleus for a STAR dance
band can be found mong some
recent arrivals. Almost at every
lunch hour or evening can be heard
melodies and plunkings from odd
corners. Among the STAR musi

young lad by the name of Pfc.
Jake Monduras for the good deed
he did the other night for some
of us weary CI newspapermen.
One of Hollywood's loveliest star

and stopped off to see Jake, who
had been an old childhood sweet
heart of hers. Realizing how we
other GI's felt about such things,
Jake gave us all a real thrill by

Monduras' sake, inasmuch as he
doesn't want any publicity about
his old romance.
While we're on the subject of
Jake Monduras, we would like to
add that he has consented to write
something for the Army page very
soon. That's awfully good news
to us because Jake was one of
New York's better-known police
reporters ante bellum.
