the interesting part about it was that the man who rescued the fallen
flier had never seen him before - but he was an American to him and he
was not going to let the Japs have him. That is the best barometer of
the morale of our fighting Yanks.

"It. Robert P. Hagen (416th Night Fighter Sqde, APO 650, New York)
is a K.U. boy on one of the night fighters in England and he wants some
news of his Kansas buddiese He has been gone since last May. He has been
in Africa and Italy. Mrs. Hub Ulrich, who is one of the receptionists at
the student hospital, asked me to put Lt. Bob on the mailing liste Lots of
good luck to you, Bob and may you have successful hunting.

"Col. Lyle S. Powell wrote us but did not give his address. We had
to find it out - 5315 I. T. C., APO 430, New York. We understand he is
doing a great job in China. And Major H. Penfield Jones, who operated
General McNair and Wes Gallagher, the AP correspondent in Italy, is doing
@ phenomenal job in his highly skilled surgical work.

"In the Pacific we also have Ense Howard Engleman (USS Englamni, D.E.
635, c/o Fleet Postoffice, San Francisco); Willard L. Bill Winey (HQ lst Bne
7th Marines, c/o Fleet Postoffice, San Francisco); and Lieut. Ole Nesmith
(V.D.1, c/o Fleet Postoffice, San Framcisco). Lieut. Ole was captin of
our 1934 football team. He is with the aerial photo reconnaisance group in
the Pacific and has been there for more than a yeare Denzel Gibbens, a
navigator on a Liberator, in New Guinea, is a brother of Chester Gibbens,
who was a football star in his own right when he almost single-hamedly beat
the Kansas Aggies here two years agoe A highly amusing and yet prophetic
happening occurred at the Jayhawk Cafe when Denzel and Dean Nesmith were
sitting at the counter while the basketball team were eating their pregame
lunche A bag of potato chins was lying on the counter. Denzel said, 'Dean,
is this yours?' And Dean said, ‘No, you take ite’ 'Oh, no,' said Denzel,
'I want the dear Lord on my side when I get to the place where I'm going'.
This shows why the boys constantly pay attention to the Sky Pilbte They have
more faith in the things that are right, perhaps, than we oldsters who are
not required to face extermination in the next day or week.

"Pilots who have returned to tell us of some of their exploits inelude
Lt. Eddie Stout, S/Sgt. Bill Howie, Lt. Fred Carman, and others. Sgte Ae
George Hulteen (4th Postal Regulating Station, APO 465, New York) writes
from somewhere in India that a short time ago he had the privilege of
playing on a golf course where they have unusual ground rules. The pastures
are inhabited by cattle. They don't dare touch one of these sacred cows -
they have to go around them, and of course the hazards are difficult and
trying. Just use your own imaginatione S/Sgte John We Slocum (B = 329th
F.A. Bn, APO 85, New York) who is in Africa, enjoys the Jayhawk Rebounds,
friendly letter, the Graduate Magazine -- all, he says, are morale builders
needed by K.U. fellows in the far corners of the world.

"It is only possible to mention a few of the boys whose names we have
at hande Doubtless there are as mny more mking their exceptional contri-
butions on the overseas fighting fronts. This broadcast that I am making
will be a part of my Jayhawk Rebounds Noe 8. The names and addresses of all
these boys, both overseas and here in the States, will be listed.

"Referring back to Uncle Jimmy Green's sentiments in the first World Ver,
- we on the home front in World War II are genuinely sincere when we say
that we want to make this community and this country a place that will be
inviting to our fighting heroes who are doing a job for us over there. Way
