Jack Donaldson Returns After African Action On Battle Front

M .S.U . Graduate Wounded in Combat Lines Is One of First Missoula Men to Return From North African Campaign

By JOYCE PHILLIPSJack Donaldson,-who entered into the armed service last

spring after his graduation from Montana State University, has now returned to his home town from action on the North Africa front. He was a member of the advanced ROTC at the University, and upon graduation was stationed at Camp Rob­inson, Ark., before sailing for combat in October. Donaldson, having been wounded in action in February, is believed to be the first Missoula man to^—-------- :-------------- ------------ -----return from the African battle zone.

During his brief stay in Eng­land before proceeding to Africa, the young lieutenant formed defi­nite opinions concerning English war effort. “The English know that war is a necessary evil, and are doing their best about it. They are serious, they do not slack, and no corners are cift!” he maintained. Later English contacts, made dur­ing his hospitalization, he said, further impressed him. with Eng­lish efficiency.

“The people of North Africa are j a mixture. That is, it is a com­mon sight for a well-dressed j French lady to come down the street next to a native beggar,” Donaldson explained, “and as far as modern conveniences go, one misses his own home,” he laugh­ingly remarked.

“Africa is largely undeveloped, but has great potential productiv­ity,” the officer added.

His thumb, which marks the wound he received, will be perm­anently scarred, but he feels that he is luckier than most, and awaits his assignment to limited service. Donaldson stated that at first his injury did not pain him much. First aid was administered by a sergeant, and he was flown to an English hospital three weeks later.

“It was a big surprise, coming back, and now that I’m here, I really appreciate it. One / loses his wanderlust after being away for a time,” he said.

“ I haven’t had an opportunity to see much of the campus yet, but I’m anxious to see how militariza­tion has affected the University,” Donaldson exclaimed.

Pan-Hellenic Workshop . . .Edwin L. Marvin, professor of philosophy and psychology

gave the opening address at the all-day Pan-Hellenic work­shop Saturday. People have been telling us to get a' higher education, in spite of the war, for several years; but Dr. Mar vin told us why. He gave us something to cement the idea in our minds. He told us that maybe the reason we’re so patriotic about wanting to get a defense job is because of the lure of big money, the lure of no school. Maybe it’s wanderlust, excite­ment. Maybe it sounds easier. We admitted it-

Then he explained to us that if we did go to some technical school and become trained in some line, we were missing the real part of education. It’s all too easy for us to toss aside our studies, but it must be made easy for us to remember that true education is not a technical proficiency but rather a back­ground, an understanding of economics, tried and untried philosophies, the struggle toward beauty in creative lines, and the appreciation of beauty attained—in music that is more than entertaining, in art and in literature.

In planning for next year at the University, the group tried to make a fine point between giving up enough traditional stuff to let people know we’re extremely conscious of the war but not quite willing to relinquish all the things which made our University something more than a class center. Some­where in there comes the point of “gracious living,” about which Mrs. R. H. Jesse spoke so adequately.

To sum it up, here were 20 or more girls struggling out of their beds on Saturday morning to go to a meeting, sit in straight chairs all day, mingle with older women, older ideas and older minds. And to face and understand and solve real problems. Must be what they’ve meant all along about col­lege women biecoming leaders, for the group was honest in its effort to accept a lot of responsibility, take the war in its youthful stride, preserve our good things and make things just a little bit better and easier for those who belong to Pan- Hellenic and for those who don’t.

Some meetings, are phoney, but this wasn’t. —P.C.

Elections Over — The Die Is Cast. . .The hazy fog of rumors usually permeating campus elec­

tions has lifted somewhat and gradually the secret intrigues and coalitions formed between the various Greek orders are coming to light. With one hand a dagger is pulled from a partner’s back and a great deal of hand-shaking is going on with the other, midst the vigorous denying and explaining of alleged charges concerning crooked and double-crossing deals. Injuries may have been forgiven but not forgotten, as feline nails are drawn in and matters smoothed out, for there will be more elections, and undoubtedly, for the duration, the sororities will represent the great Women’s Student Body of MSU.

However, this last election is pretty much a matter of fact now and, with the women already making a big step toward representing their institution, it would be wise to give some thought to the part these officers will play in keeping the University alive and operating until the boys can come back and take their share of responsibilities in a co-educational school. These girls now holding offices will need help and cooperation in order to do their job, as will the few boys who intend to be back and accept their offices next fall. There can be no stupid bickering and jealousies entering here. Preju­dices and personal feelings should play no part, for if they do, there will, in all probability, be no opportunity next year for any friendly back-stabbing and hand-shaking. In other words, there would be no ejections to fight over. —V.L.

S.N. Leads Softball League PlaySigma Nu Beats Phi Delts To Take League Lead; PSK,PDT Rank Next

By WAYNE GLASEIn the University Intramural League last week Sigma Nu

blasted out three wins, toppling the Phi Delts in the last tilt to take the league lead with four games won and none lost. Phi Sigma Kappa outhit the Independents Thursday night to take the second position with four and one. Phi Delta Theta, league leaders until Sunday, are in third place with three and one. SAE and the Independents rank next. Neithr Sigma Chi nor th Sig Ep-Theta Chis have won a game this season.

Monday evening the Independ-' ̂ ents hammered two Sigma Chi

Eso Naranche

pitchers for five singles, four doubles, two triples, and two home runs to drive in 13 runs and win easily 13 to 1. Raymond, pitch­ing for the Independents, received excellent support from the field and gave up but three hits in the seven innings.

In the Sigma Nu-Sigma Chi game, Sigma Nu scored 12 runs in the third inning on four hits, five errors apd two walks. Brackett, Sigma Chi shorstop, booted three ground balls and threw another wild to the outfield to let in six runs on his errors. Jesse, the catcher, threw one over the third baseman’s head to let in two more.

UP IN THE AIRby reynolds

For the first time in the history of the University, night softball will be played on Dornblaser field under the glim­mers, providing the snow doesn’t become too deep.

It took a war, and a big one, to bring this event about. With a decided lull in athletic activity at the University this spring, the campus “World Series” promises to be a grand and wel­comed contest. The Army is backing the program whole heartedly, as is the University.

Confident of his squad, Captain^----------------------------------------------Myers, pitching for the first time this season for Sigma Chi, walked another run in but forced Curran to pop up for the final out to end the inning. Di Re, pitching in place of Kern for Sigma Nu, scat­tered the nine Sigma Chi hits and let in only six runs, one of them on a wild pitch.

Extra Inning ContestThe Phi Delt-Sig Ep-Theta Chi

game kept the fans howling throughout the last three innings. SPE-TX led 6 to 4 in the last half of the seventh, but the Phi Delts rallied for two runs to tie the score. In the eighth neither team threat­ened, but in the ninth Phi Delta Theta broke loose for three runs on two hits, two errors and one walk. In their half of the inning, SPE-TX got one man on a walk, advanced him to third on Stir- ratt’s hit, and then scored two as Lambkin hit hard to right field. The Phi Delts tightened up, how­ever, to take the last two down in order and end the ball game with a 9 to 8 victory.

Phi Sigma Kappa scored in four out of the seven innings to whip the Independents 13 to 5. Thurs­day evening. Independent field­ing was slow and many errors al­lowed extra bases and unearned runs. Four runs came in on wild throws to the plate.,

Two-hit PerformanceDick Kern turned in a brilliant

performance on the mound for Sigma Nu Friday as his team de­feated SAE 11 to 3. Kern gave up only two hits during the entire game, although walking 10. The first SAE hit came in the sixth in­ning when Templer beat out a topped pitch that rolled down the third base line. Wedin got the other hit of the game when he stung a hard single through short­stop. Only five balls were hit to the field. Kern hung up a new strikeout record for the season fanning 15, and clouted two home- runs, a double and a single for a perfect day at bat. Sigma Nu gathered 12 hits and played tight ball commiting only two errors.

Sigma Nu Wins 'Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta

Larry Stutsman has been working (or maybe I mean worrying) his. cohorts hard in preparation for Thursday night’s fray.

There is no doubt in my mind that now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country, and mine as well. My colleague, Wayne Glase, figures my doom (figuratively speaking, I hope) will be finally sealed Thurs­day night when ’the filial barrage is over. However, despite his over­whelming confidencie, I am sure that the Army team will start a bombardment which will far sur­pass any feeble attempt put forth by the All-Stars.

In RetrospectAs far back as I can remember,

and I don’t have to remember back very far, any California team (the Army team is made up of practically a l l California-bred boys) has held a decided edge on Montana teams in any sport. There is one definite factor which is in the favor of the Montana team in this contest, however, this being that the University boys are play­ing at home, so to speak, which they have always claimed would make the difference between vic­tory and defeat. This is a chance to decide that age-old factor to a certain extent as to the Califomia- Montana contests.

Now, I am not denying that this year of all years is a year of up­sets. Just take a look at the war news of the past few months. American soldiers have been up­setting the Axis in all parts of the world, and therefore I can see no letup in the American forces at any place, including Dornblaser field next Thursday night. I can see no reason, therefore, why the Army trainees will step out of their winning stride on that fatal night for the All-Stars.

score one in the second and four more in the third on three walks and Reider’s home rim. Phi Delta Theta, trailing 7 to 2 in the last inning, put on a rally that was good for three more runs, but Kern fanned out the last two bat­ters and ended the game. Wedin pitched a good game for SAE, but loose fielding and several costly hits brought in runs. Kern gave up three hits and fanned 16, walking five.

TheLooking Glase

by Wayne

With the major event of the sports season sizzling (or drizzling) out on Dornblaser Thursday night, I thuoght it would be rather time­ly if 'I gave a brief resume of the rules governing. First and fore­most, any one caught throwing snowballs at the umpire will be ejected, rejected and kicked out of the ball game. Any Air Corps bat­ter (am I kidding) who accidental­ly hits a ball over an infiielder’s head is definitely out. No snowplow stops will be allowed while sliding into base, and no base runner may use a stem Christiana in turning front third to home. Snowshoes are barred. (Unless it thaws be­tween now and then). All run­ners, Air Corps of course, must re­frain from leading off their base until the ball leaves the catcher’s hand. No players may wear masks, that is until after the game. Each player will be required to come to attention and salute be­fore running out any hit ball. No pinch hitter may be used unless he is six feet tall, easy to pitch to and is batting less than .123 for the season. Finally, arguments with the umpire on any point, no matter how trivial, must not go over six rounds.

• * *

Pardon, I just heard Reynolds growling from his cage over here about the bombardment his dudes with duds are going to give the University All-Stars. He is also belatedly beefing about the local boys playing on their home field. Well, it’s a Montana field but Cali­fornia weather. Vern is also prais­ing the United States armed forces for their never letting up. This won’t be a letup; it will be a defi­nite let-down.

Seriously, though, the Air Corps has a good experienced ball club with plenty of fire and power. It will be a good ball game for any­one’s money no matter who wins. My hat is off to the Air Corps trainees for their cooperation and forcefulness in making this meet­ing possible.

Requiem“Another summer day on the hanks of the Somme

in front of Amiens; again the fearful clash of two armies— one the weapon of Imperial Germany in her hid for world supremacy, the other the shield and symbol of outraged civilization in defense of her liberty.”

Probably somewhere along the road to Bizerte, Montana’s best fullback of the decade was stopped cold by a bullet or a bomb or a piece of shrapnel. It is regrettable that Eso never lived to march triumphantly with the Second Corps into the big French port.

The “Big Train” would have liked to stem into the station during this past glorious weekend, to refuel, and to pull out for the Gulf of Tunis. He would have liked the cheers and shouts, during his stopover, of rejoicing residents openly ap­plauding the victory.

It may have brought back more pleasant memories of that triumph over Idaho back in the states, when the team pushed 82 yards for a last-minute touchdown. Last Saturday night might have been spent much like the old days on the gridiron too. The stubborn foe would have been vanquished . . . . there would be a little celebration, but not too much . . “got to keep in training” . . . scrimmage again Monday. The squad, or platoon would be ready for the next contest with more experience and more confidence.

But Eso never played the last quarter of the big game. The Coach took him out on injuries—fatal injuries. From the sidelines Eso now must watch the team, with his every muscle twitching for action, with his brows furrowed in expectation of charging the line again, and with a spirit that can never die. But there’s always that damned charlie horse, and you can’t play ball with that awful pain. The old number “ 14” had better be returned to the locker.

LONDONC A L L I N G

From Liverpool to the Garden City in less than two weeks was the recent jaunt made by Corporal John (Jocko) Saldin, journalism graduate of ’42, who had been overseas since last November, serving with the Detachment Med­ical department. Less than a month ago, “Jocko," as he is known by friends—was writing home about a week-end trip to London, which he described as “a big town, all right." Then, while the same friends were still visualizing him as strolling the streets of the Brit ish metropolis, past No. 10 Down­ing street, perhaps (“whose en­trance,” he also wrote, “ is no more pretentious than D’Orazi’s on Woody road” ) “Jocko” sauntered into the “J” school. He had come back to the States to enter officer’s training at Camp Barkley, Texas.

While still in the land of tea and crumpets, Corporal “Jocko,” on one of his visits to London, had a chance to see and talk with inter­nationally known individuals who are but famous, unseen personality voices to most people — bringing up-to-the-minute news of a war- torn Europe across thousands of miles of air waves. Following this particular trip to the big town, “Jocko” sent the following story home regarding his experience, which he said, “ could only happen to a guy once in a lifetime.” 1

“My sergeant buddy and I called CBS on our first day here to see if we could hear “ The World Today” broadcast. So that night we met John Daly—he used to pinch hit for Elmer Davis at 6:55. He’s a for­mer transportation engineer, mar­ried with two kids, and a classic example of a moving picture cor­respondent — handsome, forward, talkative and very much of a reg­ular guy. He was on Willkie’s train when it went through Mis­soula but a nap he enjoyed be­tween Spokane and Butte caused him to escape the tomato incident.

“ ‘Seems like everyone from Montana is from Missoula,’ he Said. About London he comment­ed, ‘A poor man’s New York.’

“The following day Paul Man­ning gave the morning show—it's always ‘show’ with these news­men, never ‘broadcast’ or ‘pro­gram.’ He, too, typifies my idea of a foreign correspondent, though he is less talkative than Daly, but just Ss handsome.

“This Is London”“Sunday night, BBC told us,

was Ed Murrow’s big moment, and would we like to hear and meet him? We didn’t say no. So we ar­rived at the studio 15 minutes be­fore the show, met Murrow and two staff members. He is a con­genial, brown-eyed humorous cha­racter, boyish in manner, with a constant twinkle about his coun­tenance. He placed us by ear­phones just across his mike table

Betty Clague Transferred To Air Force

Captain Betty Clague, head of the women’s physical education department last year, was recent­ly transferred to the headquarters of the Fourth Air Force Division of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force at San Francisco, Cal.

Upon her promotion to the captaincy Miss Clogue transferred from the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps at Des Moines, la., to the air corps branch, a newly formed group. Before admission to the WAAFs it was necessary for her to complete officers training with the WAACs.

Captain Clague’s duties now are as director of the women’s ferry­ing command within the United States, replacing men vital in the services. Her official trips are usually made in United States bombers.

Line Selected

where, before his ‘This Is London,1 we listened to Bill Shirer from New York. We heard, too, Mur­row and some New York staff man talk very causually about this and that just as Ray Rocene might call Ed Chinske about the starting time of a basketball game or football contest.

Two minutes to 11 (5 there) Murrow loosens his green and brown striped tie, opens his grey shirt at the neck, takes a drink of Water and finally places his huge bowled pipe on the desk.

“Script in hand, ‘This Is Lon­don’ comes clear, and I think of all of you listening out there in Mon­tana. His delivery technique — even to one knowing nothing about delivery technique — is smooth and deliberate, his pauses effective.

“He talks about Wallace, Eden, Russia and Austria, his eyes glanc­ing from his copy to the can of Edgeworth on, the table, or more significantly to the clock on the wall. He hesitates here, or hurries there, to conform with that racing timepiece. He has but 15 minutes.

“Finished, he asks us to his apartment which is nicely kept by his charming wife. Among other things modern, is a voluminous contemporary library which he

Trainee Wives Are Guests Of Spurs

University Spurs entertained wives of the Army Air Corps en­listees at an informal party Sun­day afternoon in the Bitterroot Room of the Student Union. The wives were given a chance to be­come acquainted with each other. Plans were made to organize a so­cial club and to meet the new wives as they come in.

claims to be inadequate. His fa­vorite place of all the places he’s been? The Pacific Northwest — he wouldn’t trade it!

Murrow Unforgettable “The most interesting character

he’s ever met? Not Mussolini, nor Hitler. The latter you wouldn’t look at twice, he said, on meeting him on the street (Murrow cov­ered Munich), while Mussolini is out of the question. He couldn’t quite agree, after much considera­tion, with his wife on Churchill. She favored the prime minister. And Eden?’ we asked, to which he replied, ‘No, he’s a smooth diplomat, but anything other than interesting.’ He finally said King Haakon, because at ’71 he’s still straight, paunchless and curious.

“We heard his last broadcast from London before his trip to
