Parent Unable
To Locate Son
ThruFcathers
A bundle of feathers was re
ceived recently by Mrs. M. Eyen,
1341 A street, from her son,
Captain J. M. Eyen, who is sta
tioned "somewhere in the south
Pacific."
The feathers obviously were
from tropical birds and Mrs.
Eyen saw a possibility that they
might be a clue that would
give a better idea of her son's
location than she is able to get
from his letters.
She took the feathers to the
university museum, but staff
members had to admit the evi
dence was insufficient to estab
lish anything but a very general
geographic identity.

The question of whether wom

threatens to develop into a battle
royal. Everywhere on the campus
groups of girls have been heatedly
discussing ROTC vs. other war ac
tivities. To get some personal
opinions of UN coeds on three
hours compulsory war work and
on the ROTC program, a number
of girls were interviewed as they
registered. Results of the inquir
ing reporter follow.
Marie Heyn: "Three hours cer
tainly isn't asking too much of
any woman. The fellows are do
ing their part in a big way so why
shouldn't we try to do something.
Its a good thing!"
Bonnie Hinrichs: "It's nice to
have women's war work organ

compulsory. There are a lot of
girls who would do war work
without compulsion. Some of the
girls are a little mad about letting
