Amerine Scores For U. S Against Japs In Solomons
From the backfield on the University football team to the front lines of Uncle Sam's fighting forces for four downs against the Japanese is the experience of Lieut. Richard "Dick" Amerine, who was graduated in 1940. Bailing out of his plane on his first flight in the battle of the Solomon Islands, Amerine found himself behind Japanese lines, but fought his way to
Amerine related that he was on flight Aug. 31 when his oxygen failed, and he had to leave his plane and land on the water. The marine pilot on Guadalcanal continued his story by saying that he swam to the beach in his underwear. After lying there unconscious for about an hour, Amerine came to and saw 10 soldiers about a hundred yards away. Thinking they were American forces, he started to yell but when they called to him in Japanese he ducked into the jungle, where he found a sleeping Jap whom he killed with a boulder. He took the soldier's pistol and shoes. For over a week Amerine was dodging enemy patrols behind the Jap lines. He was shot at twice, and cut his feet on sharp coral while trying to wade and attempt to by-pass the Japanese troops.
One night while crawling along a trail, Amerine heard something behind him and turned to shoot a Japanese soldier. He then heard the babble of Japanese voices. He hid behind a log until two Japs came along and sat down. Amerine then claims he killed both of them with a "roundhouse swing" of his pistol.
Escaping in the right direction, he soon found a marine patrol. Amerine entered marine aviation in April, 1941, and took his basic training at Fairfax field, Kansas City, Kan.

It is a tradition for the freshmen to wear the purple caps on the campus until the last football game—or else.
There may be a scarcity of materials, but freshman caps are still the order for freshmen men at Kansas State College. They are sold out now, but more are coming, the hotless freshmen are assured.
Miss Harriett Rockwell, teacher of journalism and English at Baker University in Baldwin for the past year, has accepted an appointment to a teaching position in the English department at the University of Illinois.
Rita Hayworth had a nervous breakdown that left Purdue University's biggest show in years without a star. She was to have appeared with a cast of over 10,000 soldiers, sailors, drum majorettes, war workers, funemen, Boy Scouts, ROTC squads, and what have you, at a bond rally this evening at the Purdue stadium.
Miss Rockwell was faculty supervisor of the Eaker Orange, weekly student publication, and the Wildeat, the college annual. Her successor at Eaker has not yet been named.
Miss Hayworth's absence doesn't stop the show, however, as another star has been chosen to take her place.
Students in engineering, chemistry, and veterinary medicine at Kansas State College who meet the qualifications will be eligible to participate in the Student War Loans program, under authorization of the United States Commissioner of Education.
Kansas State has been allotted approximately $45,000 with which to make loans for the present school year. Only needy students who otherwise could not attend college are eligible for these loans. Recipients must maintain a C average.
Both men and women, who will graduate within 24 months, are qualified.
Oklahoma University students will walk this year. The chairman of the car committee announced Monday that less than 50 permits will be issued this year in comparison with the 500 issued last year.
Particular target of the committee has been cars classed in the "social purposes" clause of the campus auto regulations.

COURAGE COMES IN ENVELOPES
Being apart from familiar surroundings and loved ones is a trial! It saps morale. But all that is erased—the day is bright and the job is tight—when looters arrive daily, penned in familiar handwriting! That's a Shafter pen's duty in this war.
Sheffler's "TRIUMPH" is the newest *Lifeform* pen. We began developing it four years before the entry of the United States into war. At that time "TRIUMPH" was undergoing final rigorous tests by land and sea. It has been sold throughout 1942. Fortunately, practically all of the materials in "TRIUMPH" are of least critical nature ... Men and women in all walks of life will value this essential gift, now and always.
Notes: Fast oil pens carefully. Sheaffer's SKRIP is kind to the rubber and other critical parts of pens—makes oil pens write better and last longer. W. A. SHEAFFER EN CO., Fort Madison, Iowa.
