Germans Win First Victory Of Occupation
With the announcement of supreme headquarters Allied expeditionary force of the "iron rule" to be enforced in Germany by occupational troops and the U.S. group council, which will take over after SHAEF finishes, there arises the question of whether Nazism actually can be crushed under this regime.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, although an Allied prisoner of war temporarily is being used to carry out duties in connection with the feeding, disarmament, and medical care of the German forces. It is denied by the Allies that the use of Doenitz and other selected German officers is a recognition of the "Flensburg group" as the government of Germany. Authorities in London were shocked when they heard a German officer report that he had been ordered to take over the area occupied by troops of Field Marshal Montgomery. Some believed it an unquestionable victory for the Wehrmacht—an act which would not force them to bow in humility, but with pride. It was the realization to recover from their battle wounds of a scheme carefully planned and swiftly managed by the Wehrmacht.
But supreme headquarters announce that they plan to carry out three major aims in the American occupation: Smash all that is left of Germany's potential to make war, smash all vestiges of Nazism, and see that all war criminals are caught and punished. With these three goals, the four Allied nations will have a trying task to prove that they can stand together in carrying out their reforms for Germany. They still deal with a deadly and cunning enemy—one who remains to be beaten in spirit.
The first phase of occupation finds the enemy still on top, still at the head of his people. Plans for Allied extermination of Nazism must be more definite and accurate than were the initial phases of Allied occupation if civilization is to witness the elimination of its most bitter enemy—J.V.

Macaroni a la bed—B. J. O'Neal, Gamma Phi's new prexy, isn't quite as fond of macaroni now. Seems some was put in her bed the other night, (supposedly by freshmen), and B. J. didn't sleep well. Ridding her bed of the "snakes," she trotted out on the fresh sleeping porch with her typewriter and pounded away until the little devils were wide awake. Anything for revenge, that's her motto!

And then there's Sheila — Jim Shepherd was trying, oh so-o hard, to study the other night up in his room. But he wasn't doing so well—with his studies. A voice outside kept calling "Sheila! Oh, Sheila!" in all tones, pitches, and ranges. Jim at last bellowed "Here!" The "voice," surprised at Sheila's huskiness, cried, "Where?" And Jim, with his full masculine volume, shouted back, "Up on the third floor of the Sig Alph house trying like hell to study! Shut up!"

Leave it to McGarry—Bill McGarry, Sigma Chi, is solid at the hospital. Excused by Dr. Lins from phys ed because of a cold, the same afternoon he was back at the hospital with a black eye, resulting from the ball game played in the rain with the Phi Psi's. Not that Bill had any trouble explaining why he was out playing ball after an excuse from gym!
The grand climax came when Marilyn was called upon to say "a word or two." Leaning heavily upon the table, Spencer struggled to her feet and with great effort, announced, "I'm much too weary with these weeds in my teeth"—and slumped over!
It just ain't human!—John Ise was speechless Wednesday morning in economics class, when he took roll and found Bill MacGregor, Sigma Chi, John McEvers, Beta, and Roy Mishler, TKE, present on the same day. "It's a coincidence," he exclaimed, "but this has never happened before." He checked again to make sure.
