I Indian, Ordered

Slated for oblivion by order of
Capt. James Crabill, 3rd Bn. com
mandant. i3 AST's man-a bout-
campus. Oogots. Oogots (original
ly l got 1, the half-headed inju:i
who peeps over every wall, sid
walk, table-top and blackboard of
sprawling Nebraska U.. has been
the symbol of 3rd Bn. men for the
past two months.
Wherever AST men congregated
Oogots peered cautiously at them
Oogots even went home on fur
lough with the men, peeking with
half-open eyes thru 69 train win
dows and a New York Central la
trine mirror.
It was uncertain whether Oogots
would take yesterday's "no-more-Oogts"
order lying down. Oogots
never lay down before. Some quar
ters conjectured that Indian wouM
add a tomahawk and belligerently
remain.

Notes
BY PFC. PATSY NOTO.
TIk' spirit of the Fourth War
Loan drive dominated pay day
very recently. Lieutenant Cook, in
charge of the drive, got the bril
liant idea of raffling off four
bonds that day. He seated him
self next to the pay desk with bits
of paper and a hat. As men filed
by, with tears of gratitude for the
$15 partial payment they receive
here monthly, they bought a
chance. At retreat that night,
Capt. Robert K. Adams came out
to draw the names out of the hat.
As everyone stood watching in
suspense, the poem, "Casey at the
Bat," came to my mini.
Six humlri'rt eyes urn' on him as he
rulil'cd his liamls with rint.
Six !'MMin'(l hands npplaud.d im he wiped
thftn nti his shut.
And now In. rfai In s in the hat, and now
he picks tin1 not.
And now the ait is shattered by the forct
ot Adams' shout.
"Robert K. Adams."
Kraud!" cried the maddened hundreds,
And th.1 e hoes answered. "Fraud"
But oi.e scoiiiful look from Adams
Arid ihe audience was aw.d.
The s.'w his face (;ro s'ern and cold.
They hts muscles strain.
And they knew thrv'd hetter stand at ease,
Or they'll ne'er s'( nitht aain.
"T a P.ohert K. Adams."
Reborn Quintet Shipped.
After several shipments re
cently liquidated our basketball
team, another was reborn. This
inspired quintet won four games
in a row. and was finally stopped
by the Air Base Raiders in a
thrilling game. Before it could
have a crack at the downtown
teams, orders came shipping the
players, and once again shatter
ing the unit's basketball hopes.
Incidentally, among those who
shipped were the veteran cadet
lieutenants, who had been running
things here for the past four
months. Coeds will probably rec
ognize such names as Kttlinger,
Strom, Kemeny, Klein, Charig,
Gustafson, Kurz.
That "Howling" Lamb.
If looks can deceive, T5 Mau
rice Ives is a wonderful example.
Whoever would think that such a
bashful looking lamb is really a
howling" success? At the bus
stop the other day stood a most
stunning blonde talking to a
STAR. Naturally, you would ex
pect him to be someone such as
pvt. Henry A. Rudkin. Upon close
examination, however, it was none
fugitive from the "Smiling Jack"
cartoon strip was Deane Doweil
(3-3520).
Of human interest is the meet
ing of three fraternity brothers
J of Phi Kappa Psi. It took place
4 a few days ago in a G.I. truck.
Several men were waiting for the
last bus at Walgreens when a
STAR truck happened to roll by.
Everyone piled in and the usual
bull session began. In the middle
of some corny joke. Pvt. Robert
B. Ellis, Pvt. Kenneth R. Jones,
and Pvt. Lawrence M. McDermott
met each other. Before long they
learned of their brotherly relations
and reminiscences of college days
began.
