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.

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.
