Sint Ens. Michael Gubar, APA 163, Fleet Postoffice, San Francisco. Mike, your letter was a masterpiece and gosh, how I wish that we could print the whole thing. It is an epistle that the apostles of journalism should read. I am sure that I read your letter with more interest than you read the Rebounds. When you come back to the States I think you will capitalize on your experience as a reporter for the hensas City Star. You write a chatty and a darn interesting communication, To Jim Williams, a sterling athlete at Haskell Institute, who on January 28 was taking his boot training at Parris Island, 5S. C., and who is a Junior Rotarian, at the Lawrence Rotary Club, - we send greetings. Jim, you asked hos Haskell is doing in basketball. When Marvin Vandaveer went in the service Milton "Mit" Allen took then over and he did a swell job. Haskell really made a fine showing this year. As you know by this lctter, Mit is now in the Navy. I an glad that you will be back in Lawrence in April and I want you to know that if you are here on any Mon- day we want you to come to Rotary because you are still a Junior Rotarian. So we will be looking for you. Good luck, Jim. Fns. Re Le "Bob" Turner, Commander Service Force, Fleet Postoffice, San Francis- co, was back a couple of weeks ago and he looked like a million dollars. He really is an imposing officer. Wish Bob could come back to the University after this fuss is over. He was one of our very dependable guards two years ago. Let us hear from you often, Bob. & To Warren R. underson, APO 447, New York - thanks for the clipping, Deacon. That spot at 1100 Indiana Street is still 0.K.

Lester Kappolman, who made letters in varsity basketball and varsity base- ball in '37, '38 and '39, roturned to the cempus for a short but very pleasant stay. Lester was wounded in the Vosges Mountains. 1 machine gun bullet severed the nerves and broke both the radius end ulnar in his forearm. He is looking fine and is fully confident that expert surgery, which he will undoubtedly get, will restore the arm to practically full use in time after the re-suturing of the nerves. Lt. Col.
