ABU SHARES MAIL:
Former Students in Servce
Receive JanuaryNewsletter
The January Broadcasting News-
letter, a bi-monthly publication which
is written by Prof. Waldo Abbot, dir-
ector of brbadcasting, has been mail-
ed to 285 former students now in
service.
It contains excerpts from the many
letters which Prof. Abbot receives
from former Michigan students and
comments by the professor.
"Capt. Waldo Abbot, Jr., '39, writes
from India that he is on the road
gang now. His bunk-mate is a cap-
tain who went to the University in
'28 and '29, and was the first stu-
dent expelled from the University for
driving an automobile under the auto-
ban. Now he is in a truck company,
getting all the driving he wants.
Badoglio Impressed
"Pat (Clinton B.) Conger, '38, rep-
resents the United Press in Italy. In
a bridge game the other day, he made
a five-diamond bid, holding only the
king and the other diamond. It was
a signal, but when Marshal Badoglio
heard about it, he was vastly impres-
sed by American nerve. It seems that
he is quite a bridge player, too.
"Geraldine Elliott, AM '36, seems to
have been a whopping success with
her gruesome pre-midnight tales of
the Hermit's Cave. She has a ten-
year contract, which is pretty won-
derful, with the Carter Coal Com-
pany. By the time she's written the
"Hermit's Cave" for ten years, 520
programs, tie ought to be able to
scare the daylights out of anyone."
Prof. Abbot wrote.
Harmon Fears Banana Peel
"Tom Harmon,'41, in writing to Sta-
tion WJR, started his letter saying:
'Here is the Ghost again, and I can
honestly say that I am sorry that I
can cause so much trouble and worry
to everyone. I figure that if 'the
Lord saw me through that one,' I'll
live to a ripe ole' age to die by slip-
ping on a banana peel!'
"Sgt. Henry Loud, '43, has a com-
pany at Camp Croft in which all the
men are older than he. He is afraid
they will call their sergeant 'Sonny.'
"Remember I announced Duane
Nelson, '40, as dead some time ago?
Well, his letter started out: 'It is
about time I got around to writing
you and effecting the reincarnation
completely. I had visions of enter-
ing your office with sober mein, and
in a solemn voice uttering, 'Alas,
Vulcans Elect
New Officers
The Vulcans, senior honorary so-
ciety of the Engineering School, com-
pleted their initiations for this sem-
ester Sunday, and elected new offic-
ers for the Spring Term.
Final initiation rites began with a
dinner in honor of the tappees, fol-
lowed by the formal ceremony in the
Vulcan's room in the Union. The
society elected Gordon R. Anderson
as president for the next semester
and John McCarthy as sercetary-
treasurer.
The eight new members are, Fred
Bryan, NROTC; Clifford Myll, NRO-
TC; Gordon Anderson, NROTC; Bob
Allen, 45E; John F. McCarthy, '45E;
Hank Schmidt, '44E; Jack Kelso,
'45E; and Bill Powers, '45E.
poor Yarick, I knew him well,'" Prof.
Abbot wrote.
"Lt. Roger Reed, SS '41, writes
from Italy: 'We are having a great
time in Italy. I have done nothing
to further the war effort. May offer
a pint of blood as a last resort.'
"Bob Reifsneider, '43, wrote from
Fort Knox, Ky., saying, 'I just got
back from doing a transcription that
had never been rehearsed before a
mike. The transcription is made each
Sunday before a live audience. It's
a half-hour show with a comedy
scene "Portrait of a Hero." I'm get-
ting a bit bored with being heroic.
For a while I was dying each week-
usually in one word. Lately I have
been the hero and remained alive.'
Travel Itinerary Mixed
"Bob Reinhart, '40-'42, sends a
V-mail letter from somewhere in
Italy, saying: 'So far the Army has
mixed up my travel itinerary: South
in Alabama the first summer; Cape
Cod in the winter; African desert the
next summer; and now, sunny Italy
during the rainy season.'
"Nancy Shaffer Southerfield, '39, is
planning on a young Joan or Jack, ac-
cording to Reinhart, who sent the
news from Italy. Just how he learn-
ed that in Italy is more than I can
find out," Prof. Abbot wrote.
"Dick Slade's, '41, letter was ad-
dressed to me at the Morris Hall
Marine Barracks, just because I had
talked about the Marines in my
classes. The letter got to me, having
been forwarded with a notice that I
was not in the West Quad," Prof.
Abbot added.
Speech Finals

Ruth Whittlesey, '44, in charge of
the Sunday school work at Willow
Run, declared that experience was
not necessary for volunteer teachers,
though some might be useful for

young children. She announced

necessary that volunteers be mem-
bers of the Lutheran denomination.

By LOUISE COMINS
"I know there won't be a lasting
peacekin Europe unless Britain and
America support the democratic for-
ces in Europe." Leland Stowe, jovial
war correspondent, said in an inter-
view yesterday.
Mr. Stowe, who was discussing the
text of his new book, "They Shall Not
Sleep," described it as a "report and
a warning." The report consists of
the things he saw in China, India
and Burma which he could not re-
port while overseas because of cen-
sorship, while the warning pertains
to whether or not we may lose the
peace.
Right to Revolutions
"If we are to win the peace," he
continued, "we must give the Euro-
pean people in such places as France,
Italy and Greece a chance to clean
have just as big a right to have
their revolutions today. Maybe they
have an even bigger right since
they've lost a lot more and suffered
a lot more than the American col-
onists did."
Consistency Is Needed
Claiming that, "For the ,last 18
months the American and British
foreign policy has been anti-demo-
cratic," Mr. Stowe cited as examples
of this policy our refusal to recog-
nize the French Committee of Lib-
eration and the absolute blocking of
political meetings in southern Italyj
until recently.
"We cannot preach democracy
over here and act differently in
Europe," the journalist stated. "In
the same way the Oriental peoples
will judge our policy in the Orient
not by how pretty our words are but
by how ugly our actions may be."
Mr. Stowe, who has been back
from the front lines of action since
December, 1942, said, "Because I was
away for two 17-month stretches I
feel that I am entitled to get a look
at my home town and the U.S.A."
Speaking on the opportunities for
women journalists after the war he
grinned and said, "It's hard to kick
women out of places once you let
them in."
THEY SHALL NOT SLEEP:
Stowe Discusses Overrun Nations
