EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third
in a -series of articles by Pvt. Peter
Hotton, '50, describing the pre-over-
seas shipment experience of a modern
day infantryman. Pvt. Hotton, a for-
mer Daily night editor, is now in
Tokyo.
By PVT. PETER HOTTON
After a long period of the usual
hrry-up-and-wait routine, 21 of
us from Camp Stoneman were as-
signed to B Company of the First
[nfantry Regiment, Sixth Divi-
sion, at Fort Ord, Calif.
The large number of Californi-
ans in the company gave those of
us from the Midwest a fine chance
to argue the merits of college foot-
ball as played in different con-
ferences. But thanks to the Rose
Bowl record of recent years, there
wasn't much to argue about.
* * *
B COMPANY'S personnel was
about the most varied I have seen
in the Army. Whites, Negroes,
Mexicans and some Europeans
lived together in the barracks, and
all goti along as well as if they
were members of the same family.
There is no segregation or dis-
crimination. There are Negro in-
structors and squad leaders.. Posi-
tions are given for a man's ability,
not for his background or appear-
ance.

Army's program to abolish seg-
regation among enlisted men
and at Fort Ord it works very
well. At Camp Polk, La., how-
ever, Negroes are still segregated.
This may be because the camp is
in the South or because the out-
fit there, until recently, was
originally f r o m Oklahoma,
which is primarily southern in
sentiment and attitude.
Whatever causes this old-fash-
ioned and unjust practice at camps
such as Polk, it is not in keeping
with the Army's program, which
the GI's think should be consis-
tent. The men in my company
did not think highly of a southern
senator's proposal to give southern
draftees their choice of being in
an all-white outfit or not.
* * *
FORT ORD, because it is a per-
manent installation, has neat, tiny
streets and carefully tended grass,
along with the usual Army-type
barracks and buildings.
Grass is the post's pride and
Joy. Everywhere you go you can
see men raking and tending the
earth, planting seed in bare
spots, watering lawns, and post-
ing neat signs which say "Keep
the Hell off!" and "This means
YOU!"
There is a tendency to cuss out
anyone who even happens to spit
on the grass.
THE DAY we arrived at Fort
Ord, we were told that it was for'
"three weeks further training."
This training was given by cadre-
men, most of whom came from the
regular Army or the Reserves.
Their "patriotism", and pride in
the Army are extremely strong.
. These regular Army men, who
are usually old-timers w i t h
hash-marks clear up to their
shoulders, went through basic
training long before we did and
were out to make us "men" or
bust.
And they did give us some tough,
effective training-the last we got
before heading across the broad
Pacific.
