Western Graduate Writes Hit Novel

Dan Cushman has recently written a book, Stay Away, Joe, which has been chosen as one of the two Book-of-the- Month club selections for April. Dan, who is living in Great Palls at present, has tried many different vocations and has lived in many different places in his life.

Although he attended nearly every branch of the University of Montana, Dan can be rightly claimed by Western, since he received his degree from Wèstern in 1934. Congratulations to a graduate of Western, Dan Cushman.
