Pfc. Mason Tells Of3rd Army Life
A description of German civilians in the territory of the Third army's advance is contained in a letter to a friends from Pfc. John D. Mason, son of Mrs. Grace Mason, 623 Indiana street.
Private Mason was a sophomore at the University when he entered the service in 1942. He is with an infantry division and has been overseas a year.
He writes, "As a whole the German people appear very healthy and reasonably well dressed. There is none of the near starvation that was so evident in the occupied countries."
Private Mason wrote that the German civilians both fear and hate the Americans, particularly the air corps men because of the bombing of Germany. "We have actually had cases of civilians coming up to us and asking how long it would be before they were killed," he stated.
"In one town we found recently a hospital where American prisoners of war were interned. They were really a happy bunch when we hit town. But what they told us of their experiences made us plenty mad. For example, they would march a lot across Germany and the civilians would kick and beat them, and even throw boiling water on them for no specific reason.
"You can probably understand a little better now why the men over here get so mad when they read of the way the German P.W.'s are treated in the U.S."
Second Lieutenant James R. Dominick, 21, son of man. and Mrs. Robert Dominick, 447 West 67th Terrace, Kansas City, Mo., has arrived overseas and has been assigned to the 14th Fighter Group, the second oldest P-38 group in the 15th AAF. Dominick is a P-38 Lightning fighter pilot.
J. R. Dominick, K.U. Student I=P-38 Pilot Overseas
Lt. Dominick was a student at the University and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon prior to enlisting in the AAF. He won his wings and commission at Moore Field, Texas, May 23, 1944.
Housing facilities for summer school students are being investigated by the Dean of Student Affairs in preparation for the summer term starting June 26.

Notes on Saturday's Meet
Sportorials
Whitmore of Nebraska pushed into second place on the seventh lap, but early in the last lap Hudson regained the second spot. By now Morrison was 40 yards in the lead and the race was for second place. On the second turn of lap eight Hudson lost again, but in the straightaway he sprinted into second.
Nebraska almost had all three positions in the low hurdle. Norval Jackson, who finished third, was running in fourth place until McGeachen of Nebraska knocked over the last hurdle in the row and finished the race on the cinders.
After Owen Peck had set the high mark in broad jump, 20 feet 4 inches, the preliminaries were declared to be over and everybody took time out to watch the high jump. In the broad jump finals Peck's meet mark was never bettered so it stood as high for the meet.
Early in the javelin throw, Robison and Pierdert, of the Cornhuskers squad, had placed their best marks just a few inches of each other. In the finals Pierdert gained a 2-foot edge which stood until Robison's last throw.
The western belly-roll came off second best in the high jump. Bartkar of Nebraska, who took third, and Leroy Robison, who tied with Miller of Nebraska for second, used the new roll style. Jim Sargent, winner of the event, jumped orthodox, western-roll style.
Robison's winning distance of 173 feet $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches is $8 \frac{1}{4}$ inches better than his record-breaking performance at the Kansas-Oklahma dual meet April 14.
