Graduate in Pacific Asks for Text Book On Tax Accounting
Today we are receiving all sorts of requests from various organizations to save our old magazines and other forms of recreational reading material. "Fass on your Post" has become a popular slogan of the weekly favorite; and everyone is sending the latest "Barefoot Boy With Cheek" to cheer up someone overseas.
But there's one ensign on a PT boat somewhere in the South Pacific who has an eye focused on the future, and who has no time for such trivial publications—he is spending his leisure time on a subject that almost every business student spends his leisure time trying to forget—TAX ACCOUNTING!
Dean F. T. Stockton has complied with the Business School graduate's request for a good tax accounting book, and has sent him the best available text on the subject plus one dollar in change.
"Although it's an unusual request," exclaimed the Dean, "it might be a diversion from the type of thing those boys are seeing and doing." "At least," he continued, "I'm glad to see that he's not letting down on the real profession he will be interested in after the war."
Alpha Delta Pi has announced the engagement of Helen Maxine Pringle, Wichita, to Lt. S. F. Parzybok, Jr., Vinton, Iowa. Miss Pringle is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth W. Pringle, and Lt. Parzybok is the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Parzybok.
Grad's Engagement Announced by AD Pi
Miss Pringle was graduated from the University in 1943. She was a member of Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa. Lieutenant Parzybok attended the University of Iowa and was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He is a graduate of Grinnell College. Iowa, and is now stationed at Ft. Stil, Okla.
The wedding will take place in early March.
Students Determine Future of Work Adviser Maintains
"The willingness of students to accept jobs when they can, and the performance of students once they have a job, will determine the future of that job for students after the war," said Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women, in an appeal for more students to relieve the manpower situation.
Miss Miller turns down three or four calls each day from people asking for students who want to work. Since the beginning of the semester she has filled about 270 vacancies both on the campus and down town. This does not include the jobs that students get on their own.
"Since the women students have filled so many men's positions, there has been an ever-increasing demand for more persons to work. High school students are even helping with the University food service this year," said Miss Miller.
Miss Miller said there are jobs for everyone interested, even for as little time as two hours a day, but warned against a student's accepting a job when he is carrying too heavy a program.
"Twenty-four hour jobs are worse than nothing." Miss Miller said.

Comedy Rules the Air With Hope-Benny Leading
Comedy reigns again as the most important radio entertainment in the eyes of the nation's radio editors and writers, according to balloting in the seventh annual poll conducted by Radio Daily, the national daily newspaper of commercial radio and television. Bob Hope's Pepsident program won first honor's in the "commercial programs" classification, receiving 504 votes out of a possible 1200. Five other comedy programs were ranked among the top 10, indicating that comedians and comedy shows are the most popular with wartime listeners.
In the breakdown of the winners in the commercial programs, Jack Benny's Grape-Nut Flakes show rose from fourth position last year to second place in the 1943 poll. Bing Crosby (Kraft Music Hall) gained third position, and "Information Please" took fourth place. Radio Daily list of the top 10 includes Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen (Chase and Sanborn Hour), Ed Gardner (Duffy's Tavern), Lux Radio Theater, Lower Basin Street, and New York Philharmonic Symphony.
Two of radio's perennial favorites, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, are undoubtedly the shining stars of the poll. Tabulation of the ballots in the "entertainers" classification resulted in Crosby topping his old playmate, Hope, by a small margin, with Jack Benny coming in third. Hope was top man in this classification last year. Other personalities in the "entertainers" division were Edgar Bergen, Fred Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, Ed Gardner, Kate Smith, Red Skelton, and Kay Kyser.
Bob Hope romped away with first honors among the comedians, Second place went to Jack Benny and third to Fred Allen. A newcomer in this field was Ed Gardner of Duffy's Tavern fame, who gained fourth position in the 1943 poll.
Harry James was voted the undisputed leader in the swing dance band group, with Benny Goodman in second position. Duke Ellington rose from seventh position last year to fourth this year. Tommy Dorsey was third in the balloting, retaining the same position he had in the 1942 poll.
In the "sweet" band group, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians came out first. Sammy Kaye was second; Fred Waring was third; and
Wayne King, who has been a captain in the army for a year, ranked fourth.
Frank Sinatra, king of swoon, who ranked second in the popular vocalist group among the male singers, failed to give Bing Crosby a stiff battle in that classification. Bing came through as No. 1 cooner, polling nearly double the number of votes registered for Sinatra. Dinah Shore lead the popular female vocalist field, with Kate Smith and Ginny Simms, second and third respectively.
Voting for news commentators brought Raymon Gram Swing to the top, H. V. Kaltenborn, a close second, and Fulton Lewis, Jr., ranking third. Bill Stern, last year's winner, again took top honors among the sportscasters. Ted Husing placed in second position and Red Barber in third.
"American School of the Air" won first position in the "educational series" classification. Following closely as number two in the balleting was "University of Chicago Roundtable." Third place went to "America's Town Meeting of the Air." The surprise upset of the poll, according to Radio Daily, was the "Quiz Kids" victory over "Information Please" in voting under the "quiz shows" classification. "Take It or LaVe It" ranked third.
Keen competition for first honors in the "children's shows" division developed in the poll, with a tie vote for first place. The winners were "The Lone Ranger" and "Let's Pretend," both receiving a vote of 402. "Lux Radio Theater" was an easy winner among the "dramatic shows," while "One Man's Family" won first honors in the "dramatic serials" group.
Radio Daily noted a growing interest in symphony music in this year's poll. The New York Philharmonic Symphony won first place, and heavy voting was registered for the NBC Symphony and Boston Symphony which ranked second and third in the voting.
Arturo Tosecanini lead the field of symphony conductors. He received double the number of votes cast for his nearest competitor, Leopold Stokowski. Lily Pons passed Gladys Swarthout and won first place in
