Make It Voluntary
On the face of it, 310 students look like
a good attendance record at the first All
Campus Vespers service held last Tuesday
in the Union. In fact, too good.
Students were crowded in parlors XYZ
of the Union, or stood outside. If such at
tendance continues, the services will have
to be held in a larger room which might
r ot be as suitable to the half-hour of friend
ly quiet that is the aim of Vesper services.
The committee in charge, however, is not
as yet anxious to make such a change, be
cause it is afraid that after the present
pledges of the fraternities and sororities
are initiated, the attendance at Vespers will
fall off. Why? Because the greek houses
have a system of requiring pledges to col
lect a certain number of "activity points"
before the pledge is eligible for initiation.
Pledges get "points" by working on campus
organizations, and by attending certain
campus meetings, such as the Coed Counsel
lor charm school programs, YW freshman
concession groups, men's intermurals, etc.
Included in the "pointed" list is the All
Campus Vespers service.
The greek activity point system serves
.the excellent purpose of forcing students
to acquaint themselves, despite themselves,
with the campus doings and widens their
circle of friends outside their own par
ticular group.
It does not seem, however, that Vespers, j
fundamentally a religious service, should
be included in the "point system." It is
just the same as bribing an adult to become
a member of a church because the min
ister wanted a larger congregation.
Lt. SAM WIGGANS, Farm House and one of
last year's senior ROTC men, was back on leave
en route from Camp Atterbury, Jnd., to fort

SUGGESTION: That the university build
a sidewalk or at least throw down a few
flagstones in place of the dirt path worn by
students "cutting" from Pharmacy across
the lawn of the Old Campus to the library.
Everything possible should be done to en
courage students in their use of the library!

Lt. LEW LEHR, Kappa Sig here last year,
is stationed at Camp Shelby, Miss., and writes
that he wants very much to receive the Service
man's edition of the rag so as riot "to lose out
on news of the campus."
A few of the former AST area and language
men who were stationed on the campus last year
have now landed in France with the 71st and
114th Infantry. They include: Pfc. WILLIAM

a second lieutenant Saturday aner completing
bombardier training at the Carlsbad, N. M. Army
Air field.
Lt. WILLIAM H. "HANK" GREENE, Phi Delt
and grad of '43, writes that he is fast recovering
A "G. I. JOE" has written: "How about mentioning
something about tht Joes who have never forgotten their
old alma mater and are always thinking of that day when
they'll be able to come back to sit in the Corn Crib and
have a coke or dance at the Mortar Board party in the
coliseum, or to walk in sosh or econ class . . . ?"
The writer of this letter was Myron "bud" Levinson,
SAM of '41 -'42, known on the campus for his versatility
as a ventriloquist, and as a star performer of the Kosmet
Klub of that year.
He has himself answered his plea with a poem dedi
cated to fraternity brother Harold Stein, now in Italy.
Entitled "G. I. JOE," it is one of several of Bud's poems
published recently in "Yank." "Saturday Evening Post"
and "Stars and Stripes."
Of Harold Stein, Bud says "Harold thinks as much of
the 'Old School' as I do, and has been overseas a long
time ... He was in North Africa. Sicily, and now in Italy.
"G. I. JOE" is a tribute to him ... I'm afraid it doesn't do
Harold justice. He's a great guy."
G. I. JOE.
"What's happened to him?
Hadn't you heard? Why he's fightin' with the "Fifth"
Fighting in the filth and rubble in what is left
Of that land called "Sunny Italy."
Naw you'd probably not recognize him, 'cause
He's not that kind that stands out from the rest.
Seventeen months ago he was fighting too.
Fighting the battle of books
Hunting, searching; always seeking
To quench his thirst for knowledge.
Oh, books brought him facts and figures, sure
But they didn't tell him what it would be like
On that beach at SALERNO.
Still a bloody war didn't stop his burning thirst.
Over there, he learned the hard way.
Bullets and bombs, not books, were his homework.
And this college of war has taught him much.
It's shown him that the world isn't all "sport jacliets
and steaks;"
Ration K and fatigues are the mode of the day.
Joe has learned plenty. Enough to teach
That paperhanger that he can't destroy
Those things penned on a tattered manuscript
Called "Inalienable rights."
Yeah, Joe's gone for a while
But he'll be back.
He's not out there to be a hero
Just out there to do a job, 'cause
He's not that kind that stands out from the rest!
