COEDS' CORNER
Give Connie The Navy Life Sightseeing, No Income Tax
She has a touch of salt-water in her veins, she sings with a navy band, her father is a lieutenant commander in the navy, she has been in half a dozen islands in the South Pacific. That's "Connie" Walruff, who entered K.U. this semester.
Yesterday, Connie had a birthday—her 17th, and reminiscing was the order of the day. This was the story that Connie told—it begins in 1940:
"I was ten years old then, and we Walruffs were living in the Philippines, where my dad was posted as chief warrant officer. We had been sent to the Philippines from Hololulu nine months before.
"Life on the Philippines is wonderful-strictly navy and that's the way we navy people like it. But the Japs began misbehaving and Admiral Hart ordered the evacuation of American families.
"Mother, my younger brother, and I boarded the U.S.S. Monteray to be sent back to the United States. It turned out to be quite a sight-seeing cruise—the Monteray stopped at Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Somoa, and Honolulu before docking at San Francisco.
"Dad, of course stayed. In 1942, when the Philippines were taken, he and 24 other officers and men managed to pilot a tiny fishing boat through Manila bay without being sighted. Finally, they made it back to Australia, and traveled by submarine back to San Francisco.
"Dad had been appointed Lieutenant Commander by this time and we were feeling mighty proud of him. He had joined the navy at the age of 15 and worked up from the bottom.
"He was working with radar in the United States which later won him the distinction of being named "Officer of the British Empire", an honorary office, conferred on him by the British government for his outstanding work in radar in conjunction with British efforts.
"I never had a chance to be bored with one high school. I attended two in Maryland and two in California. Last spring, I was graduated from a San Diego high school.
"About this time, I began singing with navy bands. I used all the tricks to look older—high heels and an on-top-of-the head haircoat. At present, my folks are living at the Naval Air station in Olathe where my father is executive officer of the Ground Control Approach, a new branch of the navy for the purpose of blind landing and take-off of aircraft by the use of radar.
"I sing with the G.C.A. band which is really a lot of fun. We have played at the U.S.O. and the
Hotel Continental in Kansas City, Last Sunday night, the Olathe Naval base had a veteran's party for all the boys who ever tied a seaman's knot and the G.C.A. band played for the shin-dig. I had a fine time warbling "Sentimental Reasons" and "Prisoner of Love."
"How long I stay here at K.U. will depend on the navy. I hope to make my major psychology. I have always been interested in people and traveling around so much has enabled me to observe different people in different localities. I've come to realize what an intense part environment plays in human nature."
Sweet Nothings Can Be Murmured Via the Mails
New York-(UP)-The art of letter writing may be on its way out. In the future, the person with the convincing voice may have the advantage.
Science is developing a means to record voice on paper, which can be folded, put into an envelope, and mailed. All the recipient has to do is unfold the paper, place it in a gadget like a radio, and listen to the "letter."
