These services may or may not be auctioned off at the War Coun cil's "Chance of a Lifetime" war stamp and bond auction tonight at 7:30 in the Union ballroom, but Ghita Hill, War Council presi dent, and her cohorts have worked out a truly hysterical program. This will be the first time in the history of UN that such an innovation has been held. The War Council has planned this novel way to sell war stamps and bonds in conjunction with the Sixth national war loan campaign. All stamps and bonds bought at the auction will count toward the univer sity's sixth war loan goal of $1,500, half of which has been collected to date by ordinary methods. The war loan drive ends Dec. 15, which leaves just nine days to go over the goal. In addition to the patriotic motive, stu dents will have to attend and bid war stamps in return for the services of any campus figure, they will also be receiving excellent entertainment for their money. Looking at the past record, whenever the War Council puts on a show, it is a good show. And not Lcs Said The Better By Les Glotfelty Public notice: As of today we are no longer running a publicity column for the pet projects of every person on this campus. For the past two weeks, the column has looked like a glorified shopping guide. The whole paper, incidentally, has just looked like a shopping guide period. Anyway, no more promotion of things except when we want to promote them. One of the funnier remarks of last week. Alpha Chi Alberta Andersen came sighing out of the late Alan Ladd show "And Now Tomorrow" and had only this one broad statement to make: "If I had been with a man I think I would even break the five date rule." Incidentally we didn't know a five-date rule existed on the campus, al though there are plenty of three-date ones being shattered quite frequently. There are about four or more sorority house parties this week end, and the frat boys, with whom most of the coeds were planning to go to parties, have decided to have smokers, hell week or what have you also this week end. Monday night at the dorm was a madhouse as the phone rang steadily cancelling dates. Dorm freshies ran around tearing their hair, social chairmen called the frats wildly, everybody hated men, men hated everybody what a lovely way to spend an evening. Catch line of the month Run into the round house, Nellie. He can't corner you there. Rev. Kay Kearns Reviews Duraht Book Tonight at 7 Rev. Ray Kearns will review "Caesar and Christ," by Will Du rant. at the second Coed Coun sellor book review tonight at 7 in Ellen Smith hall. This is the last time that Kev.

This announcement does not per tain to those who have season tickets. for a sedate evening have they engaged those two experienced auctioneers, Profs. Karl Arndt and Curtis Elliott. Tonight is everyone's "Chance of a Life time," both to help the war to end more quickly by buying government stamps and bonds, and to have an evening of fun. Former Star Herndon Gets Purple Heart Former UN football star Clar ence Herndon, wounded in the shoulder by shrapnel as he led his unit into the French woods of Foret Deporroy in search of nazis, has been awarded the Pur-j pie Heart and is now convalescing ; at an army general hospital ini England, according to a war de partment release. Landing in France on D-Day plus six, Capt. Herndon had been on duty as a weapons platoon leader for only two days when he assumed the leadership of the, entire rifle company. Capt. Hern-j don first led his men in the battle ( to help cut off Cherbourg pen-1 insula. Later he took them toj participate in the capture of; Avaranche and the closing of the Falaise Gap. ! One of the first units to cross the Seine, Capt. Herndon's unit, met fierce hand-to-hand res is-1 tance as it attempted to hold a j bridgehead there. "The Germans j are td fighters, said the cap tain, "but when they are snr- have to fight in i hidden in the grass. Artillery guns eomoai. mey sur- were blended with the hills and rounded and hand-to-hand render." Outside Lunneville, the Ger mans were concealed in the Foret Deporroy. No one knew how many of the enemy were there or how well armed they were, and it was to discover this information that Capt. Herndon led his men into the woods. They had moved well in among the quiet trees when suddenly a deafening volley of fire burst from hidden enemy positions. It was then discovered that the woods snipers concealed themselves be hind the trees. It was in the en suing action that Capt. Herndon received his wound. He was later flown to the army hospital in England. Playing with the UN football team during 1939, 1940 and 1941, Capt. Herndon was well-known in the collegiate football world and was selected to play in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day of 1941. After entering the army, he played had been turned into a minia- j with the College All Stars and the ture fortress. Machine guns were East Army All Stars.
