University Club To Have Party
'Endy' Endicott, V-12, Finds KU Pleasant After South Seas Duty
From Guadalcanal to PT 5 at the University of Kansas is the most recent move made by Oracle (Endy) Endicott, V-12 from John Day, Ore., and he says it's like coming from "darkness to light."
The experiences of Endicott are more or less typical of those undergone by the newest contingent of V-12's to arrive at the University. A good portion of the 200 men sent here in March had had overseas duty before being sent to Kansas. Endicott entered the Navy in September of 1940, and Lawrence is his first real land base.
"My first ship was the USS Brooklyn," he recalls. "We did Atlantic patrol duty, traveling regularly to Scotland, Newfoundland, Iceland, and all the other North Atlantic points."
The Brooklyn was anchored in Bermuda when the United States entered the war, and within a short time Endicott and his fellow crew members were meeting Nazi submarines. Endicott was a gunner's mate second class then, and his post on the ship was the gun turret.
Had Front Row Seat in Africa
Endicott transferred at Philadelphia to the USS Cleveland in May, 1942. The Cleveland covered the landing at Casablanca a few months later, and Endicott had a front row seat.
"I never got off the ship at Africa," he says ruefully, "but we could look out and see the beaches. There wasn't much opposition where we were, but on land they got plenty of it."
In December, 1942, the Cleveland was sent to the South Pacific and did patrol duty between Guadalcanal and Noumea. Then it was moved to the New Hebrides.
The Cleveland took part in the bombardment of the shore installations on Vella la Vella in the northern Solomons in March, 1943, and in June Endicott was a participant in the bombarding of the Shortland Islands, a Jap seaplane base, and Munda Point.
Quill Club Members Read Pledges' Manuscripts
Quill Club held its bi-monthly meeting last night in the English room of the Memorial Union building. Prose and poetry written by pledges of the organization was read and criticized.
The next meeting of Quill Club will be held Tuesday, May 10, in the English room. Persons interested in writing are invited to attend.
Deadline for entries in the Carruth poetry prize contest was announced as being May 1 at a regular meeting of Quill Club last night in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building. The announcement was made by Prof. John Hankins of the English department.
Plans for a club picnic the latter part of May were discussed. Mary Morrill, Florence Helmke, and Elwood Morgan were appointed on a committee to make arrangements for the event.
"ONE WEEK TO TEN DAYS TO FINISH CLEANING"
926 Mass.
Phone 75
In September of 1943 Endicott applied for the V-12, and in the early part of this year he was transferred from the Cleveland to a base at Guadalcanal. From there he came to San Francisco, then to San Diego, and in March arrived in Lawrence. Prefers KU to South Seas
Unlike many of the V-12's who are new in this section of the country, Endicott has no complaints to make about the Kansas climate or things in general. "After the South Pacific, any weather is all right with me," he says. "And, I think the University is beautiful."
The things he notices, and appreciates most, about life at the University are, one, the food, and two, the space. "We never had fresh vegetables aboard ship," he explains, "nor milk. Everything but our meat was dehydrated. Up here the food is wonderful. And then there's so much more room. Aboard ship we were crowded like sheep."
Paradoxically, the thing that bothers Endicott most about his abrupt change of life is that he feels caged up, and finds it very hard to settle down. "But all in all, everything is shipshape as far as I'm concerned," he adds. "KU is swell."
A Former Student Will Marry Missourian
The engagement of Virginia Mimms, daughter of Mrs. Elbec Mimms of Kansas City, Mo., and Cpl. Carl L. Barben, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Barben, also of Kansas City, has been announced.
Miss Mimmis was graduated from the Kansas City Junior College, and attended the University of Kansas City.
