U. S. Losing Prestige With Free French
The prestige of the United States among the French in North Africa is toppling, and the exclusion of the Free French from the conference table in Moscow accelerated the descent.
Correspondents from Algiers have sent back reports of the increasing bitterness of the French toward Americans. In North Africa, they said, gossips are spreading rumors that certain foodstuffs are unobtainable because the Americans bought up all the supplies to feed to the Italians. The high cost of living is blamed on the Americans by credulous housewives.
The fifth column, by a sort of whisper campaign, is making vast inroads on the reservoir of trust and good will existing between the two nations since the days of Lafayette and Washington, and the United States has apparently failed to find an effective basis of counterpropaganda.
Citing the Darlan incident as the first cause of friction, correspondents have made it clear that the decline of American prestige continued with the De Gaulle-Girard scramble for power. By being too gentle with Vichyites and later by taking sides with Girad against De Gaulle, symbols of Free Fighting France, the United States policy has not pleased our allies in North Africa.
Last week De Gaulle addressed the first session of the new French consultative assembly, telling it that Free France should be present with the other great Allied Nations to decide the settlement of this war and the organization of the world to come.
No official reply has come from any of the three participating nations, but by agreement before and at Moscow, Free France is to participate in the lesser Mediterranean Commission and in the settlement of Italian affairs.
Free Frenchmen, recalling the glerious days of France, cannot be reconciled to taking a subordinate position. They have worked long and hard to obtain their freedom after France was seized by the Nazis, and they cannot tolerate the thought of former friends dictating their peace terms or the use of their freedom.
The Frenchman has for "La Belle France" a sentiment almost unique in this world and for him to see the
Rock Chalk Talk

It's all in the mechanics of the thing: In the PT8 barracks, Don Cousins was deep in slumber when his bunkmate, Dave Long decided to get out of bed and clean some of the debris out of the room with the vacuum cleaner. Still under the influence of deep sleep, Don "fell out" into the path of the oncoming sweeper and got his toe caught in the vacuum. While he howled derogatory remarks about the thing, the machine was dismantled bit by bit until his toe was extracted, considerably battered. His next concern was how he would dance with date Virginia Neal at the Theta open house Saturday night.
They lead interesting, if painful lives: Back in the PTS barracks again, the boys decided to boost Clark Henry's appeal with the women. One called Betty Zink, Lawrence town girl, and asked her for a date in Clark's name, while his buddies coached from the sidelines. This unknown impostor then proceeded to make Clarks sound alternately like a hero and a heel. When the unsuspecting Clark did call Betty for a date, her conversation was icy.
Then came the dawn (not the real one): Ammella Hasmmmett and Audrey Harris, Alph Chis, heard the alarm go off, so they got up, dressed, and made up their folding beds before they discovered it was exactly 3:30 a.m. For Ammella, the shock was too great. She collapsed in a chair, fully clothed, and spent the rest of the night there.
--fleur-de-lis trailing in the dust of victorious armies, even if the victorious armies are friendly, is the greatest suffering he can know. There, it is not likely the situation will be improved until France is acknowledged a military and political equal. Whether or not the great powers will do this is another matter.
Dangereus Dan McGrew had nothing on him: Fems will be relieved to know that Dick Dreher, Beta, has finally outlived the name of "Dangerous." This moniker was added (says Dick) when he was a

pledge and in his cunning way, was continually able to outwif the actives when they tried to apply a more violent form of pledge training, in the form of hefty swat. He so terrified the Betas that they named him "Dangerous" Dick Dreher. In subsequent years, Dick has become more docile. To prove their warm friendship towards him, the Betas (all ten of them) turned out for the football game Saturday, to cheer him on while he played.
Thrilling and Tough "IN OLD OKLAHOMA"
Third finger, left hand: When candy and flowers were brought in during dinner at the Theta house Friday night, a hushed silence fell. For approximately 30 seconds, each Theta mentally went down the list and decided that it must be a fake pinning (due to the scarcity of fraternity pins this year). This idea was quickly dispelled when the engagement of Nancy Jane Peterson and Lt. Joe Burkley of Dodge City was announced. Nancy received a beautiful, emerald-cut diamond, which arrived just 15 minutes before the pinning took place.

No Christmas Vacation for Utah
The University of Utah will have no Christmas vacation this year, but rather a week between quarters from Dec. 4 to 12. The change is necessitated by the fact that the ASTP men on the campus are given a week's vacation between quarters, and it is most convenient that civilian students stay on the same schedule.
