TODAY'S EDITORIAL
☆ ☆ ☆
The continent of Europe, the domain of tyranny, the land of shackled and subjugated nations —victims of the Nazi hordes—has been invaded. The invading forces—headed by crack American troops—have but one objective, one goal—the liberation of these and the other fallen nations. The invasion will not end until this is fully accomplished. This is, in truth and fact, a crusade. Today, June 6, 1944, has been "D" day.
Today is not the time for exultation, cheers and ringing bells; instead, we safely here at home should feel a tension of silent prayer and loftfulness that this greatest of history's military operations will be as brief, as bloodless, as fulfilling as possible. We should keep the faith of these invading American sons by constantly and fervently praying that God accompanies them on their individual missions of liberation. The time for the blowing of whistles and the waving of flags will truly come when this whole and damnable man-made Hell shall end forever; this Hell that was forced upon our world of peaceful folk by a nation of goose-stepping puppets who assented to being led blindly by a rustached Satan who promised them the world.
Every grain of the soil of invaded France that has been stained by the blood of these soldiers of liberation, as well as that which has been spilled and stained before on other soils and in other lands, shall forever be hallowed and enshrined by all the free peoples of the free world for which they bleed.
Humphrey Assigned To Strategic Service
Lt. Frederick G. Humphrey, recently completing four weeks of intensive paratrooper training at Ft. Benning, Ga., was a visitor on the campus last week. Wearing "Wings" and "boots" of the army airborne infantry, Lt. Humphrey will report at Washington, D.C., this week to train in intelligence, counter-intelligence, and demolition work. He will then be assigned to the office of strategic service as a liaison officer between the allied underground forces in enemy territory and allied headquarters in Europe.
Lieutenant Humphrey attended the University from 1941 to 1943, and was a student in the School of Business. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.

What Price Glory?—According to Mary Belle White and Gwen Paine, Corbinites, it is just 46 cents and a box of vitamin pills, and there is no glory to it. "It's a fraud!"
A few weeks ago Gwen and Mary Belle, tempted by radio come-ons, entered a contest. "Guess the correct song title and win $40." So they guessed, and a week later heard on the program that their guess was right. A week of waiting — two weeks of waiting — they had the money all spent — and still no prize. So the winners wrote the station demanding recompense. Last week the prize arrived — a check for 46 cents, and the vitamin pills. It seems the contest was a pro rata affair, the prize split umpteen ways among the winners.
But the two swindled C-ites are still expecting something for nothing. After the letter they wrote to the broadcasting station last week, they expect to receive the rest of their education free, courtesy of the government — with a term of one to seven years for misuse of the mails.

Nine Persons Placed In Teaching Positions
The evening was still young when faculty wives, Mrs. O. O. Stoland and Mrs. E. B. Stouffer, took over the basketball goal, set up temporarily, for their own private recreating. The results were even more surprising. With scores of 10 out of 10, we'll let them play on our team anytime!

The Shirt Off His Back — Or the shoes off his feet. The Navy should be more considerate whom they put together as locker mates, complains a PT-7 victim. It seems last week the anonymous martyr, inspired by a heavy date, decided to give his shoes a 75 cent polish. For half an hour he worked, until he could see his own reflection at ten feet. And then, too late, he discovered his glowing masterpieces were the property of his locker mate who wears the same size shoes.
Graham Elected To ISA Council

Before an audience of more than 200, Marjorie Ann May, Fine Arsenior from East St. Louis, presents a senior organ recital last night at Hoch auditorium.
During intermission the organist received flowers.
Opening with the stirring notes of "Canzona in G Minor" (Kerl), Mi May's program included a trio contrasting numbers from the work of Bach. "Fantasia in C Minor" featured the full five-voiced organ with interplay tones. Revealing the softness and sadness sometimes found in Bach was the "Choral-Prelude 'Christ lag in Todes bande'." "Choral-Prelude, ' dir ist Freude" provided a demonstration of the organist's ability in the use of pedals.
