Band Formed
For Driling
87 Men Are Included
In New Musical Unit
For V-12's Marching
"That band has everything!" is
the consensus of opinion among V-12
men as they reviewed the newly-
formed' 87-piece Navy-Marine band
for the first time yesterday.
A neW spirit had joined the five
V-12 battalions as they marched to
customary drill at 10:30 a.m. yester-
day to "South Ferry "Field. It was a
rousing musical unit of five tubas,
several bass drums, trumpets, clari-
nets, and saxophones, led by drum
major Lynn Stedman, '45, former
twirler in thetUniversity Varsity
Band.
It was a day of double celebration
for the 1300 V-12's since yesterday
was the first organized march to
the drill field. One battalion of ap-
proximately 250 NROTC students, a
battalion of 300 Marines, and three
battalions of approximately 778 blue-
jackets high-stepped together down
Thompson, Packard and State streets
to the rousing "Anchors Aweigh" and
"Semper Fidelis," a salute 'to the
Marines.
The band, organized by Caleb
Warner, senior naval architect stu-
dent, has been practicing two weeks.
"It's a democratic band," one of
the Navy V-12 men said, "no one is
actually the leader; approximately
six Marines and 81 Navy men are
just pulling together."

STITCH IN TIME:j
Army Moms Fix, Darn Socks,
Clothes for Campus Soldiers
"Oh! I forgot to bririg my socks down!"
Now Pvt. Jason Horn, Company A, 3651st S.U., will have to mend his
own socks and prick his own fingers unless he has enough to last until the
Army Moms return to the East Quad next week.
Servicemen stationed on campus don't have to struggle with
knotted threads, ripped clothing or sewing machines any longer, for
the Faculty Women's Club and a group from the Red Cross have taken
over the job for them.
Each Thursday and Friday afternoons, they sew themselves out from
under the avalanche of mending that the men accumulate during the week.
"Every time I bring some clothes down, they ask me for more," Pvt.
,NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-(jP)-The
U.S.S. Lafayette, formerly the Nor-
mandie, has begun to shudder up-
right again. She's the French queen
of the Seas, you remember, which
burned Feb. 9, 1942, and rolled over
on her port side into the Hudson
River mud.i
But she's righting herself so slowly
that the salvage engineers have rig-
ged up a huge gadget on her prome-
nade deck to tell them what she's do-
ing. They call it an "inclinometer."
Today the device showed the vessel
already had risen 11 feet-measured
in degrees-out of the river mud
and Navy men were pleased.
As the huge liner began to rise, ob-
serversnoted barnacles which looked
like 12-inch icicles .on the' port side.
Try to imagine what. would hap-
pen if an apartment house was tip-
ped over on its left side., Furniture
would slide down the floor and clog
doors. You'd get in by diopping
through a window. The left wall of
the room would become your floor,
and the ceiling a side wall.
That's what happened to the Nor-
mandie (the Navy renamed her the
S.S. Lafayettebut the public still
knows her as the French Line's sea
queen) she was. filled for an aver-
age depth of 60 feet with oily, muddy
water which made it impossible for
the divers to see.
The engineers first built an exact
model of the big liner (she's 1,029
feet long, her promenade deck is
equal to three and a half football
fields, end to end) so that the divers
could get an exact picture in their
minds before they went down into
the watery murk.

"We hate to think 'of the boys
trying to sew on buttons, shorten
trousers and darn socks when they
have so many other things to do.
My husband's overseas, so I feel
that I'm mending his socs by re-
mote control!" she laughed.
"One night we didn't finish all the
socks," Mrs. Leslie Wikel said,. "so we
took them as 'homework'-and from
7 p.m. to midnight Mrs. McDow-
ell and I darned socks and more
socks. We lost count after the 25th
p4ir!"
"The nicest part about working
here is that every time we start to
get tired sewing, someone stops in
to talk awhile, or the Company A
Choir decides they need a little
practice. Maybe they plan it for
the psychological moment, but we
certainly do enjoy it," Mrs. Mc-
Dowell said.
"One Air Corps student caused us
quite a scare the other day when he
asked us if we hadn't sewed his patch
on too low. We had already done
about fifty the same way, and the
prospect of doing them over wasn't
too pleasant," Mrs. McDowell said,
"but, fortunately for us, he was
wrong."
An average of 10 women works
each Thursday and Friday in the
East Quad lounge for all the Army
units on campus under the Red
Cross, while the Faculty Women's
Club works in the West Quad for
the Navy men.
And what do the boys think of all
this?
"Well," Mrs. McDowell said with
a twinkle in her eye, "we know they
appreciate the mending and darning
we do, but I think they enjoy talking
to us just as much!"
