Naval School Graduates 120 In First Class
Congratulating 120 men upon their graduation as the first class of the University Naval Training Station and warning them of the job they have yet to face by examples from his own experience in World War I, Capt. F. E. Lofquist, chief of staff of the Ninth Naval district addressed the assembly yesterday morning in Memorial stadium.
Capt. Lofquist said in an interview after the program that the Training school is exceedingly well get up in comparison with other schools. "The success of the school depends largely upon cooperation between, the school, the University, and its instructors," he said. These men are prepared for duty in the engine rooms aboard ship, a highly responsible position. The real test, however, comes at sea. He said some of the graduates would be ordered to duty on ships without further training and will probably go into active duty soon.
Governor Ratner, a sailor, seaman second class in the first World War, told the graduates "You are prepared to give everything in fighting the war, and we on the home front will not fail in our duty to you." He said the men realized what they were fighting for—freedom of speech—freedom of press—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Chancellor Malott in addressing the group, told the trainees that he knew how they felt as he was a sailor on the campus in the first World War. He said he was proud the University was helping in this training.
Lieut. A. H. Buhl, commanding officer told his men that he knew they were well equipped and he was proud to be their commanding officer. He congratulated them on the high record.
Capt, Lofquist aided by Lt. L. T. O'Hara, executive officer, presented the diplomas from the school and the certificates from the University as Ensign R. C. Webster, division commander, announced the graduates. Honor man was Thomas O'Haloran.
The official party who reviewed the personnel of the school and inspected the facilities following the ceremony included: Capt. Lofquist, Governor Ratner, Chancellor Malott. Col. James S. Dusenbury, commanding officer of ROTC, Col. Jack R. Cage of ROTC, and Lieut. Buhl.
The Navy band from the Naval Reserve Aviation Base at Gardner furnished music as the divisions marched from the station to the stadium and as they marched in review following the program.
Dry-Land Swimming?
It would be tough for a football team to have to practice without a football, but it is worse for a swimming team to hold their practice without any water.
Last week the gymnasium pool at the University of Virginia was closed because of failure in the machine that circulates sanitary water in and out of the pool. The swimming coach did not know when the pool would be filled again. Nevertheless, the team has several meets scheduled for the future.
Temple Teaches Swahili
Temple teaches Swahili. Swahili, the language spoken by inhabitants of the east coast of Africa, is being taught at Temple university this fall.
DEVI DJA CHORUS---appeared in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Kansas City.
(continued from page one) told in the Balinese number, "Arjuna-Subhadra." Comedy will enter the program in the Javanese pantomime of a young lover and two arfful village maidens, "Djaran Kepang."
The concluding number on the scheduled program will be "Minstorogo." This dance has been described as displaying all the grace, symbolism, and studied movement for which Oriental dances are noted. It tells a story of Arjuna, who is first tested by the gods in sending beautiful fairies to tempt him. Later he destroys the demon king, whereby he receives great powers of immortality.
The Bali-Java dancers coming from a homeland composed of thousands of separate islands of the Dutch East Indies, will present a varied program since their dances run the gamut from fierce, artless war dances of the Papuan to the refinement of the Javanese and Balinese.
On their world tour the dancing troupe has performed in many cities and countries including Cairo, Carthage, Bucharest. Port - Said, Budapest, Berlin, Egypt, and Holland. In the United States they have

(continued from page one) trust, or partnership making the largest purchase in the war bond sale.
The football used in the game autographed by the captains of both teams was offered as a premium only to individual buyers.
Printed pledges were distributed and collected by members of the ROTC and the boy scouts during the band maneuvers at the half. Carrying out a patriotic theme in connection with the bond sale, the band presented three main ideas, liberty and justice, freedom of worship, and preservation of country.
These ideas were portrayed by the formation of a liberty bell, a church steeple, and the American flag. In addition to band members, the Jay James and KuKu's took part in the formations of the steeple and flag
The band's presentation of the patriotic ideas was augmented by a commentator, Russell L. Wiley, director of the band. At the formation of the church steeple, he reminded the audience, "If we don't buy bonds, we won't have the freedom to worship as we please."
Familiar patriotic tunes were played throughout the maneuvers including "America," "Glory, Glory, Halleluja," "America the Beautiful," "God of our Fathers," and the Doxology. The trumpet call to colors preceded the playing of the national anthem.

(continued from page four) versity backs could not run over these two Washington linesmen. One sportwriter declared that Wisconsin and Soule were the outstanding players on the field, their fine work even overshadowing the brilliant play of Tulsa's Glen Dobbs, Cal Purdin, and company.
Wismann is not the only sophomore on the Washington team. To aid him there are such first year men as George Seith, speedy full-back; Lee Tevis, a triple-threat halfback who reminds Bear followers of Bud Schwenk, last year's Washington ace now performing professionally; Irvin Obermark, hug guard; and a host of other sophomore and freshmen prospects.
Other front line standouts are guard Russ Paul and end Bill Puffalt, both veterans. In the backfield Vernon Barth and Jimmy Hight will be heard from.
The Washington squad had an open date yesterday, thus giving the Bears an opportunity to rest for their tilt with Gwinn Henry's Kansas Jayhawks at Memorial Stadium this Saturday.
In all, 20 of the first 25 men on the Washington roster are newcomers this fall. While their play has at times been erratic they have shown promise which is pleasing to Corman, who last fall served as line coach at Creighton.
