Fieldhouse hit parade: "What do
you do in the Infantry?" (sung
by former air corps men); "This
is a Lovely Way To Spend An
Evening," (What, you weren't in
studv-hall, either?); "I Didn't
Sleep a Wink Last Night" (So I
slept in classes all today). Con
gpicuously absent: "I'll Be
Around."
General Eisenhower instituted a
new military courtesy routine in
Africa recently. Officers will now
report enlisted men who neglect to
salute them; enlisted men will also
take the names of officers who re
fuse to acknowledge their salutes.
So carry your pencils and note
books to Africa with you, for the
thrill that comes once in a war
time. Unsuccessful was the draftee
who put a woman's name on his
list of dependents. The draft board
didn't think supporting one's horse
was grounds for deferment.
