Student Union for all ASTPs and
Aviation students on campus.
The curtain goes up for the

mission is the presentation of a
white Student Union military

sued to each trainee at the pay
table this week. Soldiers may
bring their own dates, or they
will be provided with Lincolnettes
if they want to come stag. Three
or four hundred Nebraska coed
Lincolnettes are expected to at

GIs in sheeps clothing.

I had a dream last night. I
dreamed that I was sound asleep,
and all of a sudden there was a
lieutenant in our squadroom holler
ing at us to get out of bed, get
some shoes on and an overcoat or
something, and get downstairs and
outside on the double. Somehow
I didn't think that it all applied
to me till he turned to me and said
sweetly, "Would you kindly con
descend to clamber out of your
comfortable little bed, get some
clothes on, and get the down
stairs before I throw you down!"
I Jumped down from my upper
bunk, landing neatly in my clod
hoppers, grabbing my overcoat on
the way down.
As I whizzed toward the stairs
I noticed that the clock said a
couple of minutes before six. Now
why in the world they'd be getting
us up in such a hurry fifteen min
utes early, and not even having us
put on our caps for reveille was
more than my numbed brain could
figure out. Downstairs the clock
said 11:35, but when someone
asked me what time it was, I said,
"Just about six o'clock that clock
must have stopped last night."
Then there was something else
that bothered me that weird, per
sistent buzzing noise and what
were those fellows doing with that
fire hose? Maybe it was a night
mare not just a plain ordinary
dream.
When I hit the cold morning
air things began happening. First
of all, I woke up and found that
it wasn't a dream. I was actually
outside, standing in front of the
library, with my shoes and over
coat on. And what's more, it was
11:35, not six o'clock. Finally it
dawned on me. This wasn t reveille
it was a fire drill.
I wasn't quite the last fellow
downstairs. A minute later one
soldier rushed down, still tying his
necktie, in full uniform prepared
to stand reveille. He'd already

day afternoons in the Ag Activi
ies building.
The "Prospects for World Gov
ernment" was the subject of an
address by Frederick C. Engel-
man, Foreign Area and Language
STAR man, who spoke last Fri
day afternoon before a meeting
of the International Relations
club. Engelman, a former Aus
trian citizen, traced the develop
ment of social groups from the
family to the tribe, the city state,
states, nations, hemispherial un
ions, and pointed out the logical
conclusion of this development in
a world union. This world union
would have internationalized edu
cation as one of its bases.
Newly arrived STARmen are
trying to find the hidden mean
ing m the oft repeated worus:
Hubber, Hubber, Rubber, Hur
ber, Hubber, etc." These mutter-
ines have become a part or the
military vocabulary of most of
the men, particularly at forma
tions. When the men are jjiven
the command "Rest," they are
permitted to talk if they like
Immediately this strange gibber
ish breaks out in unison. No one
seems to know what it means,
Some say its an old Indian phrase
which means: "Let's get this
thing over with and go eat
On the Flying Line
Another group of aviation stu
dents, the men of Class 10, are
now reaching t1 e culmination of
their training here at the university
by partaking in individual flight
instruction at Union Air Terminal.
Most of these neophyte "hot pi
lots" have never flown before and
the ten hours of flight instruction
received here does much to initiate
them. Both the thrills and hazards
of flying are no longer something
that one only reads about.
Early one Monday the men or
Class 10 started on their way to
the flying field for the first time.
There was a buzz of excitement in
the bus and many a laugh sounded
more strained than usual. Soon
they were in their chutes and
crawling into a plane. Things
moved so fast that the instructors
had the planes off the ground and
up to an altitude of 300 feet before
most of the men realized they naa
aken off. Reaching 3,000 feet
puts a person in a different world
in which vast space is the domi
nant characteristic.
Thru the earphones comes the
instructor's voice, "O. K., take
over." Must remain calm, do
what he tells me, becomes the up
permost thought in the students'
minds. And they all take over.
Rather shakily at first, but as the
flying hours accumulate on their
log book, they gain confidence. At
night the barracks is alive with
flying talk: With four or five
hours of flying, the dream of "To
kyo ahead!" becomes much morer
a reality. Yes, they're hot pilots
now, but in about eight months
they'll be serious, determined fly
ers. Look out, Germany and Ja
pan they're coming and nothing
will stop them now!
Mr. J. C. Wills.
Among a recent group of Ski
Troopers who arrived at the STAR
Unit is Henry C. Nathan, who
was in Antwerp when the Ger
mans moved into Belgium. He
witnessed the first German Stuka
attack o military objectives near
his home, and has an interesting
story to tell of his flight to France
along roads crowded with refu
gees, with almost daily strafings
by German planes. He arrived in
Dunkerque about two days ahead
of the Germans, and moved on to
Bordeaux before they caught up
with him. When France surren
dered, he left for Spain, trading
his car for a mule to make an
escape over the Pyrennes into
Spain. Obtaining a Cuban visa
he finally made his way to Ha
vana and then to New York. He
volunteered for the Ski Troops,
and has been, sent to the STAR
Unit for Foreign Area and Lan
guage study.
New building from old materials!
That's the record at the University
of Illinois. Using materials and
equipment already on hand, the
university has built a new Sani
tary Engineering laboratory in
which municipal sanitation prob
lems will be studied.
