TTHE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, ULY 25,1943 i' Y .. . ,f.. Never Trust the Navy, 'Say Marines time to send out a reconnaissance party, the company had a little dif- ficulty in finding the designatedi spot. Finally, however, after getting1 lost in back of the University Hos- pital, the Marines got the "situation well in hand" and arrived at the Is- land. No girls-an hour later-no girls- still later-no girls. "Gee," sug- gested one of the fellows, "maybe they're onra different kind of time." Women Trouble "Oh, no, somebody answered. "They're on the kind of time that is used by women all over the country- the two-time." Meanwhile, at the Pi Phi house, ash trays were overflowing as restless girls smoked and wondered and smoked. At 7:30 no Marines-at 8 the telephone rang. "I'm calling for the Navy boys," a voice said, "We want to make sure that our friends the Marines are having lots of fun." "Oh, my yes," the house chaperone answered with determined cheerful- ness. "There are simply dozens of boys here, and everyone is having a wonderful time!" "Are you sure?" asked the voice. "Of course," said the chaperone, "The girls are saying that the Mar- ines are the nicest boys they have ever met." At 8:30-still no Marines-at 8:45 the doorbell rang. The three boys who hadn't been notified about the change in plans arrived. After an interval of questions and answers, the Pi Phis and the three Marines concluded that someone had put something over on someone and that the Navy would be mighty sorry. Party United at Last After more telephoning the where- abouts of the missing men. was dis- covered, and with the few available automobiles the Pi Phis headed for the Island. They arrived just as 55 Marines decided they had played enough jacknife and were about to swear off women for life. The hour of liberty which was left was spent in dancing at the Pi Phi house and in deciding how to get even with the Navy. "At first," said Crane and Cook, "we were going to go back to the barracks at 9:30 and tear every Navy house apart. But we were having such a good time that we decided to postpone our re- venge." Marines Outnumbered "Of course," said Crane, "a slight difference in numbers of eight blue- jackets to one Marine would make it a good even fight, if we held back a little." By morning muster, how- ever, the tension in the atmosphere had been detected by the officers, and one of the orders of the day was that there be no rioting. French National Anthem Wakes Sleepy Citizens Company A, 3651 S.U. Can March 12 Miles Singing All the Way Sleepy residents along North Uni- versity were awakened early yester- day morning by the stirring strains of the "Marseilles," French national anthem, as the men of Company A, 3651 S.U. started on a 12-mile cross country march in the best of spirits. Although, unlike the men of the Army air forces stationed on campus, Company A confines its singing mostly to out-of-town hikes, they possess a variety of songs in practic- ally every known language. British and Russian marching songs, and Polish tunes have been picked up by .the whole company from the one or two men who know them. Ch'Ilai, a Chinese song is an- other favorite of this versatile group. Written and dedicated, to the 3651 S.U. by members of Company A, and featured in their hit play, "Nips in the Bud," the song "Off to the Rising Sun" is another standby with which the men enliven their long hikes. "Daikon Koshinkyoku" which means "Big White Radish Marching Song" in English, was written and dedicated to Company A by Mr. Matsimoto of the University faculty. The song deals with the experiences of Company A in Ann Arbor. Coeds Clean Up Campus Sailors "The 'BBS laundry' last week washed 24 Navy undress whites, charging a fee of 40 cents each," one of the proprietors announced yesterday. The mystery laundry is com- posed of three college coeds who started out to do their naval friends' uniforms. Last week they expanded their business and took on a few others. "We use our own mangle and washing machine," one of the pretty coed laundresses said, "and we've worked the ironing process down to seven minutes." "No, the identity of the 'BBS laundry' must be kept secret," she said, "or we'll have more business than we can handle." 15 MONTHS AT SEA: Former Coastguardsman Tells Of His Adventures on Cutter "Most of the excitement of my 15 months at sea were packed into al- proximately four hours," Pete Kel- ler, member of the V-12 program. and former coastguardsman, said yester- day. "I was at the wheel of our cut- ter when the skipper and executive officer spotted something causing a wake while we were within sight of the New Jersey coast," he ex- plained.- "We dropped depth charges for four hours straight but because of fishing fleets operating in the area our charges lost most of their effect. We couldn't get too close because of the fear of destroying the small craft around," he said. "A little later the Navy confirmed our belief that it was an enemy sub. "Another scare occurred when we were off the coast of Nova Scotia;" Keller said. "There were no lights on our ships and we were almost rammed by a Navy tanker. It was too close to be healthy. "Two days out from Nova Scotia we saw a flash off -our starboard"~ We thought an enemy sub hadfired on us. We all stayed at our stations from 2 to 5 a.m. and started: circling to avoid being hit. It was below zero weather,, too," he added. "Later a radio report informed us that a don- key engine on. another ship' had blown up causing the flash." Keller, stationed on a new coast= guard cutter, got his, first' trip aboard ship when he tiayeled om the Great Lakes thi-oigh' the St. Lawrence River to N6va Scotia. From Nova Scotia to eoston; h experienced his first seasickness. It was an unusually heavy storm," he said, "and I wished I were 4bead for about half a day." "One of the queerest events oq- curred in Halifax, Nova Scotia Whdn we went to a dance. The girls Wouldn't dance with American sail- ors but entertained the Canadian and English sailors quite royally. That was just last December," he added. "Life aboard ship is enjoyable," lCeller said. "It is very informal with no barrier between officers and sea- men." DAILY OFFICIAL B ULLETIN1 (Continued from Page 4) ciples): 10:45 a.m., Morning worship, the Rev.
