OCCUPATION SOLDIER:
GI s in Germany Need
Army's Permit To Date
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Third in a
series of articles on the German oc-
cupation contributed by a Univer-
sity student who has just returned
to this couiitry after iS months on
the Stars and Stripes, famed Army
publication.
By BARNEY LASCIIEVER
Nearly every GI in Germany
and Austria has his fraulein.
Touring clergymen have re-
turned to the States with the pro-
nouncement that immorality
among -the American occupation
troops is not as widespread as
some reports make out, but the
fact still remains-nearly every
GI has a German girl friend.
The Army has been forced to
recognize the situation much as
they would prefer to disavow it,
and in fact have set up a semi-
legal system designed. to protect
the health of the GI,dbut not de-
prive him of his companion.
Arinty Investigates
In order to escort a German or
DP girl to one of the many night
clubs or service clubs run by the
Army, a social pass must first be
obtained for the girlsthrough the
post Special Services officer. The
girl is screened for her political
background.
If either the girl or the sol-
dier appear at a club with a dif-
ferent companion, the social pass
is revoked. However, if a soldier
tires of; his girl, he merely re-
quests her pass, turns it in, .and
then is free to obtain another one
for the next girl of his fancy.
Companionate Marriage
It is sort .of a companionate
marriage affair that can be called
off by word of mouth.
From my observations, I would
venture to say that the average
German girl that ties up with an
American soldier is for the most
part a refugee herself. Either she
is one of the 1,500,000 Sudeten-
land Germans that were moved
into the US. Zone from Czecho-
slovakia, or she has come in from
one of the other three zones, us-
ually from the Russian zone.
It is also true that many Ger-
man girlsawith families fraternize,
but they are in the minority.
GI Garb
Sometimes you have to look
twice, but as the occupation wends
its weary way onward, more and
more German girls are appearing
in cut-down, dyed GI overcoats
or coats cleverly fashioned from
GI blankets.
The first day the renovated
Darmstadt PX opened featuring a
new well-stocked food counter,
GI's by the scoredshowed up with
duffle bags and hauled away
enough food to feed a regiment.
Apart from the fraulein, many
GIs and American dependents are
devoting a good deal of worth-
while time to what is called Ger-
man Youth Activities. These con-
sist in maintaining warm club
houses where democracy is dished.
out in the form of cokes and
American athletics.
Discussion Groups
Recently the trend has been
toward holding discussion groups
also, but there is a scarcity of
trained personnel for this sort of
specialized work. And in a sur-
vey, 40 per cent of the kids ad-
mitted they attended the clubs for
the chocolate bars and cokes. Also
the middle class families have
tended to refrain from supporting
these activities.
As for the displaced persons,
the Germans for the most part are
extremely indignant.
"Why don't these persons go
back where they belong," an el-
derly German woman complained
to me. "We Germans are such a
poor people."
That the state of the DPs or
the condition of post war Ger-
many had anything remotely con-
nected with the Germans them-
selves, does not occur to them.
Cordial Welcome
In the French zone, I was wel-
comed with open arms. "When
are you Americans going to help
us drive the French back to the
Rhine?" a German asked me.
The overwhelming sentiment
from former Wehrmacht soldiers
now working for the Americans is
that they would like nothing bet-
ter than to join the American
Army and fight the Russians.
Everybody hates everybody.

The Inter-racial Association is
conducting a membership drive
today and tomorrow and will have
booths set up in University Hall
and the League from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. on both days.
IRA is a student organization
devoted to the purpose of elimi-
nating discrimination from every
segment of campus life, according
to Harry Cross, president of the
group.
Last semester, IRA initiated a
drive to enforce the Diggs Anti-
discrimination Act in local bar-
bershops.
Plans for the rest of the year
include a tentative list of speeches
by Dr. Harry Ward, Dr. Herbert
Aptheker, and Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt.
The first IRA meeting of this se-
mester, open to present and pros-
pective members, will be held at
7:30 p.m. tomorrow, in the Un-

those 75 will go pretty fast
There were 125 more prints
available this semester than in the
fall, but. the director says that
the collection's popularity is
growing faster than the collection
itself.
"Nearly 100 per cent of the
students who borrowed prints last
semester were back again this
term," she reported, "and a lot
of them brought their friends."
Esthetic Attachment
Considering the fact that prints
may be borrowed for a semester
at a time and that the same prints,
can't be borrowed more than once,
what happens when someone gets
sort of attached to the print that's
been keeping him company all
term?
Mrs. Wilkinson had the answer
for that one: "We try to talk
him into taking another print by
the same artist-and it always
works."
If the attachment is too great.
she said, the borrower can also
order a copy of the print from a
commercial dealer.
Improve Critical Taste
In any case, Mrs. Wilkinson
said, the purpose of the Student
Print Loan Collection is to im-
prove students' critical ability by
acquainting them with the many
works of different artists.
The most popular paintings so
far, she said, have been those by
Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso and
Winslow Honer-"good men, one
and all."

ning will pull the minute viruses
out of the solutions so that they
may be purified and concentrated.
The machine is equipped with
an elaborate optical system with
which it is able to take photo-
graphs of the viruses as they whirl
at high speed. Analysis of the pic-
tures is expected to yield valuable
information :concerning growth,
reproduction, and chemical consti-
tution of the organisms.
According to Dr. Martin Hanig,
research associate at the School
of Public Health, the ultracen-
trifuge will also be used in re-
search on other viruses. One of
these is the herpes virus which
causes cold sores about the mouth
in human beings, sometimes lead-
ing to serious complications.

"In the classic period,"* Dr. Hel-
ler said, "Israel linked the indi-
vidual to the whole social moral-
ity, and beheld the nation as part
of a society of nations."
Dr. Heller referred to the Bible
as a great non-critical history, al-
though many of its books have
been altered in the course o fhis-
tory to give interpretations dif-
fering greatly from the orignial

'Need Protection'
Other comments were:
Rep. Dingell: Protection is nec-
essary. Other countries are arm-
ing, we need to arm also.
SCoffin: I am undecided. I want
to look at it from both sidIes first.
Sen. Ferguson: Nobody can be"
against security. Asking a man if
hie is against security is like asking
if hse is against sin. However, if
UWT is just to train foot-soldiers,
its worth is questionable.
Petition White House
Gen. McLane, War Dept : Armies
are still necessary despite atomic
warfare.
The White House would not see
the delegates, but suggested that
petitions be left with the left gate
guard.
The assembly's achievements
were strong protests against UMT
and resolutions adopted against:
1. Red-baiting in the press and
other sources.
2. Discrimination and segrega-
tion in Washington.
