MAIL IMPORTANT: Can didate Guild Remembers fife in Brazil, British Guiana Cand. William L. Guild of the 3rd OC, Judge Advocate General School, could probably give some good ad- vice on ways to beat the rising cost of living, since he has been sta- tioned in Brazil and British Guiana where prices are almost unbelievably low. Native cooks are employed for $2.50 per month; a street car ride costs a cent and one-half; a cup of coffee one penny; eggs 11 cents a dozen and oranges six cents a dozen. Speaking of his year's service in the tropics, Cand. Guild said, "The movie version of sunkissed sands, Hedy Lamar beneath a palm tree and a moon are a bit exaggerated. The bugs, the disease and the heat are a different story." He said that aft- er the first six weeks "you get home- sick and stay that way for about a year and then you just don't give a hoot." Laundry is done by the native wo- men who "take your GI khaki down to a nearby stream, pound the stuff- OLD SOU'T Romance Box: Whimsical bridal scene on the cover.

Guild said that Christmas packages were received the middle of April. He will never forget the fruit cake which was baked in Octo- ber and opened in April. He advises soldiers overseas to write to everyone they know as soon as they arrive because mail is all im- portant and to subscribe to their hometown newspapers. Cand. Guild also advises soldiers going overseas to start learning the language as soon as they get there because "it not only helps when you go shopping, but it is a great asset insofar as the women of the country are concerned."

James McKeown, executive officer of Company B-4. "The fellows work for one another. They enjoy doing things together," Cadet Lt. McKeown said. He charac- Capt. Campbell Has Had Varied Military Career Capt. Richard S. Campbell, Com- mander of Company C, has literally seen the country since his induction into the Army June 5, 1941, as he has been stationed at eight different posts. His experience includes an assign- ment to the coastal artillery barrage balloon battalion, work in the coastal artillery and several months as as- sistant adjutant at company head- quarters. Capt. Campbell was as- signed first to Ft. Monroe, Va., and then to Camp Hulen, Tex. He next went to Camp Wallace, Tex., Camp Tyson, Tenn., Santa Monica, Calif., and Ft. Custer, Mich. He came here from Ft. Sheridan, Ill. Has Science Degree Capt. Campbell took his degree in science at Texas A&M College where he was enrolled in a five year petro- leum and mechanical engineering program. This program required, that he take 45 hours in his last year. Although he was inducted be- fore completion of the full five years of the program, Capt. Campbell hopes that he may be able to finish it after the war. Because of his four years of ROTC training in college, Capt. Campbell received his captaincy about seven months after he entered the Army. Member of ASME During college he belonged to the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers, the American Iinstitute of Metallurgical Engineering and the re- serve officers' organization. Capt. Campbell's interests cover a wide variety of activities including auto- mobile and boat racing and building motors. While stationed in Tennes- see he was joint owner of a plane, a Piper Cub, but had to sell it when he.was transferred to California be- cause flying on the coast is prohib- ited to everyone but air corps per- sonnel. Capt. Campbell is also in- terested in photography. Capt. Campbell's two brothers are in the Navy. Mrs. Campbell, a native of California, is now living in Ann Arbor. Hellwarth Will Lecture Here Mr. A. R. Hellwarth, electric sys- tem engineer of the Detroit Edison Company, will speak to the student members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers Thursday, Dec. 16, on "Communication Sys- tems Employed by the Detroit Edison Company." The meeting is of particular inter- est since Mr. Hellwarth graduated as an electrical engineer from the University of Michigan. Triangles Initiates Six New Members Triangles, junior honor society for engineers, recently initiated six new members in a ceremony at the Union, followed by a special dinner. Those initiated were William Auch, Richard Barnard, Clement Bauman, Ted Greer, John Jans and William Oren. terized them as "all around" in re- spect to interests and activities and added that there is quite a bit of individual talent within the group. The cadets are unique among the units here since they are one of the hardest working group, but receive no pay. Although none of the A-12's have had any college work before, they are now taking the equivalent of 23 hours semester work including physics, mathematics, chemistry, English, geography and history in addition to military science, a physi- cal education program and drill. Classes, taught by University in- structors, are linited to 26 members. Discipline is strict, and the train- ees have only Saturday nights off. Cadets Wear Seal Cadet Lt. McKeown pointed out that the cadets may be regarded as in part taking the place of the regu- lar University freshman class of boys. It is for this reason thatsthey have been authorized by the com- mandant, Col. Frederick Rogers, to wear the University seal as a shoul- der patch. They are the only unit on campus which wears the University seal. The cadets are kept very busy, but it is not entirely all work and no play. Social eventsnhave included an open house for Ann Arbor residents,' faculty members and commanding officers, a dance at the barracks with an orchestra from the Barton Hills Country Club and an informal Thanksgiving buffet supper at the barracks. The cadets' Christmas va- cation will extend only from Christ- mas Eve to the next mealtime after Christmas Day. Trainees Receive Invitations As a result of the open house about half of the cadets received invita- tions from Ann Arbor residents for week-end parties and dinners. Cadet Lt. McKeown explained that the purpose of the ASTPR program is to train potential officer material. If the war continues long enough, the nation will have exhausted most of its educated men and will have to draw on the men now being trained for officers. Selected by. special boards, the trainees were chosen on the bases of scholarship, personality and poten- tial officer material. All enlisted in the program since they had the op- tion of taking it or not. Navy To Hear Capt. Simmers Capt. C. M. Simmers, who is sta- tioned in Washington, D.C., with the shore establishment division of the Navy Department, will speak to the Reserve Officers Naval Architect Group at 11 a.m. Monday in the Architecture Building. Capt. Simmers has been connected with the Navy ship building program both in the last war and in the pres- ent one. A graduate of Annapolis in 1902, he has be6n a Naval constructor and manager of the Boston Navy Yards. Capt. Simmers is the third speaker to address the Naval Architects this year. The lecture is closed to the public. Skating, Badminton Programs Planned The Figure Skating Club will meet at 3:30 p.m. every Monday and Thursday, contrary to previous an- nouncements. Now open to men stu- dents, club members receive indi- vidual and group instruction in fig- ure skating techniques.
