PAGE FOURtD THE MICHIGAN DAILY ... . .......... ... BUCKS CLEAN UP: Army Finds Feather Carpet in Fraternity Columbia's New Star 0 "Was this the campus zoo before?" Puzzled Pvt. Irving Green of Brooklyn, newly arrived member of the ASTP engineering group, asked this question as he and 29 other men detailed to make a fraternity, house taken over by the Army fit for occupancy found the entire house littered with feathers four inches deep. Feathers Litter. Floor Apparently the previous occupants had reveled in a pillow fight to end all pillow fights before they left and thought nothing of the fact that it took 20 men two days to capture all the scurrying bits of white. This is Just one incident that has made the task of finding hous- ing for more than 500 incoming soldiers in an already overflowink city an amusing one for Capt. Ross Zartman, post Quartermaster offi- cer. "We ran against a similar prob- lem in Delta Sigma Delta, the den- tal fraternity," Captain Zartman said laughingly. Teeth Left Behind "The first day I went there I found a huge box on the living room table filled with teeth. Apparently one of the students had forsaken his hobby of teeth-collecting when he left. "The next day when I went over, the teeth were still there - but someone had scattered them all over the room. One of the boys summed up the situation very aptly with the remark 'Boy, what a party that must have been!" Army Cleans Up This job of cleaning out eleven fra- ternities was taken over by the Army since the University did not have enough help to do it themselves. "We hope to have janitors soon yho can take over," Captain Zart-. man said, "but in the,-,meantime the men, who are 'studying here under the ASTP engineering and language area programs,.will have to, sandwich the work in themselves between the YOUR HAIR STYLE Is fitted to your facial features. Let* us be of service to you. You're wel- comed. Te DASCOLA BARBERS Between State and Mich. Theatres refresher courses they are taking be- gin Monday." Truckloads of Junk Moved ."Sandwiching the work in" con- sists of mowing lawns, trimming bushes, pulling dandelions, removing nails from the middle of the hall- way-Pvt. Lenny Ligenza of Chi- cago, also in the engineering group, offered the solution that they must have been practicing up for service in India as Yogi experts-dismant- ling bars and excavating whiskey and beer bottles from innumerable- nooks and crannies to the tune of five truckloads. "A little grumbling was caused by the fact that the first men to arrive were detailed to clean all the houses," Captain Zartman said. "But, in order to make the task more agreeable, we told them that was probably where they would live, so it was worth their while to clean it well," he said. "That is, we told them that until one man said in a very pathetic tone, 'But sir, xou've already told us that four times.' " Men Leave Furniture "But the job really hasn't been so difficult," Captain Zartman said. "We asked the fraternities to leave us as much furniture as they could and they cooperated whole-hearted- ly. The rest of the furniture has been stored in one room of the house. ,,"Moreover, many of the fraterni- ties have recreation rooms in the basement that we may use, and that will be a big help," he said. "We're trying to complete arrange- ments for coke, candy and cigarette machines in each house," Captain Zartman added. A quartermaster's job is a trying one at times, Captain Zartman s#id, but- now we've got these new men pretty well set up. ' My prlcipal problems now' are more trivial ones, such as finding a place for the men to leave their books at mealtime. They all go straight to the Union- for lunch fromgtheir classrooms and have difficulty manipulating trays and books at the same time, he ext- plained....' .'Thus., .while the rest of the Uni- versity goes about its business, Cap- ain Zartman and his aides are kept busy ironing out the affairs of the Qusrtermaster's Office. Betty JSrodel, 20 (above) sister of Joan Leslie, has followed in her footsteps. First she was signed to a contract by Columbia studio, then she donned a bathing suit to have her picture taken and finally went to work in a dancing role. She is a former radio and night club singer, Senrvcemen To Hear Records At Rackham Servicemen on campus have been given a special invitation to the weekly record hour to be held at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday in the Men's Lounge of the Rackham Building, ac- cording to Miss Charlotte Simpson, newly appointed House Director of the Horace E.

Lawmakers Adjourn, Drop Subsidy Firh t (Continued from Page 1) Its backers asserted the war agencies are full of policy-making officials on whom the Senate -should have a chance to pass. Opponents said it was a patronage grab. The House not only rejected the proposal but voted down, 260 to 69, a compromise to set the salary figure at $5,500 and apply the provision only to newly-hired employes. The Senate's recessio from its de- mand cleared the way to the White House for, a $2,911,697,224 appropri- ation to run the war agencies in the 12 months beginning July 1. The bulk of the big appropriation is for the merchant shipbuilding program, but funds also are included to run such agencies as the Office of Price Ad- ministration (OPA) and the Office of War Information (OWD. It set a precedent, too, for the Sen- ate to withdraw a similar amendment it had attached to the $1,137,167,010 Labor-Federal Security Supply Bill. When this was done the measure was shot on to the White House, clearing the Congressional calendar of all major appropriations bills.

After the coke date, "They can carry on themselves," Miss Has- treiter said. All service men stationed on cam- pus may register, and all University men and women students are invited to take advantage of "a new way to find the ideal date," according to Miss Hastreiter. Aside from a twenty-five cent registration fee, which will be donat- ed to the Bomber Scholarship for the rehabilitation of service men re- turning to the University after the war, the bureau will offer its services free of charge.
