When I hear people make statements now in the hour of excitement I always
“think of my experience with the squirrel. I still have great conficence in the
cefficers and the police department. . It is a queer thing - when an officer can be
killed in line of duty we will say it is too bad. But the moment an officer clubs
someone resisting arrest the entire public wants to punish the officer. So this
is another incident in my young life.

As chairman of the Civic Action Committee we met at the Country Club last
night until just before 11. At 11 o'clocx we were called down to the police
station where the Chief of rolice, Mr. Pine and Mr. Bushey were meeting and we
went ovor the situation.

I do not believe that I told you boys I was elocted as District Governor
of Rotary District 74123. Thoro are thirty clubs in our district, and the District
Governor is supposed to visit each of the clubs once a yoar. Rut one thing I am
thenkful for - my torm as president of the Country Club expires Octcber 1, and
someone else can take over that duty. So by the time baskethall soason rolls
around next year I am hoping that I will be able to devoto a part of my divided
time in an endcavor to recapture the championship we lost to Louie Henze at Lowa
State on March 2. Now - if there is anything you would like to have done, you
just let me know and I will "let George do i< «

I have received so many wonderful letters from you boys overseas that I
will try to quote only a paragraph or two from each so your buddies will know of
your whereabouts, and they in turn can communicate with you. I do not believe
that I montioned that Mou Hui King, who came to the University from Peking, China,
through on acquaintanceship developed between his father and Chancellor Lindley,
made a $5.00 contribution to the T. P. Hunter memorial fund on March 50. Mou Hui
is a graduate of our School of Engincering and is now with the Allis-Chalners Co.
in Milwaukee. Many of you boys will renember him as an outstanding student in
Engineering. In a letter to Fred Ellsworth, he says: "T see that good ol' K.U.
is coming along all right and our Phog is really getting his name in sport pages
all over the country. aA Nebraska man, whenever he hears that we have won ao game,
always kids me by saying, 'Woll, they must have laid a little money on the game'."

_ From Ens. Ralph 3. Schaako, USS LST 558, N.Y.: "Tt have had another change
since I last wrote to you and I am more than just well pleased with the duty that
I now have. . . This ship, with her officers and men, has teen overseas for two
years now. That is too lung but they have stood up well under the strain of three
invasions in the Mediterranean and Normandy. At least they know what the score is
and that means a lot." Thanks, Ralph, for sending the copy of Stars and Stripes
—_— the article about Ray Wiblo who played football for Gwinn Henry and
Vic Hurt.

: Ralph, your cousin, Pvt. Carl L. Schanke, who enlisted in the Marine Corps
along with Charles Taylor, writes me from Parris Island, S. C.: "We got the news
about the President tonight. It was quite a shock because it was the first news
they have ever given us, down here. When we get out of boot camp we will probably
get more news because we will be more on our own, This is quite « place down here
but I lixe it." These two boys appeared beforc the Draft Board and enlisted. They
did not want to wait to be drafted. ; oar
