KU Dandelion Foe Is Now 'Garbage Man' At Parris Island
The enthusiast who started "Dandelion Day" at the University has lost his enthusiasm for beautifying lawns, and among other things has become a garbage man.
"Dandelion Day," first celebrated in 1941, was a holiday on which students and faculty cleaned up the University's dandelion patches amid much merrymaking and feasting.
Pfc. Charles Wright, who was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1941, has written to friends here of his many experiences since he entered the services and, in telling of his feeling toward many of his duties while at his present Marine base. Parris Island, S.C., he said, "They thought enough of me to make me a garbage man."
"I hope we get out of here before lawn-mowing time," he added. Private Wright said that he is one of six men at the base who, at the time the letter was written, hoped soon to be transferred to Marine officers' candidate school.
Wright entered the Navy some time after his graduation and became a Pharmacist's Mate second class. He has since seen action and was wounded in Guadalcanal, sent back to the United States to be operated for appendicitis. He then transferred to the Marine Corps.
Wright's platoon has been chosen one of the three best-disciplined at Parris Island.

In this staff officer's hands, the familiar telephone is a weapon of war. It controls the striking power of our forces in the whole area. Over it flash orders that help our fighting men to drive the enemy back.
Today, Western Electric is the nation's largest producer of communications and electronic equipment for war—making many kinds of telephone and radio apparatus for use on land, at sea, in the air. College graduates—men and women of varied abilities—are taking an important part in this work.
