^ T t i e VOL. 13—NO- H PUBLISHED BY ASSOCIATED STUDENTS AT FLAGSTAFF. ARIZONA TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943 * j j U U L l P I N E NEEDLES 4 4 * 4 * 4 fe y M id c je . For a while this morning we of the Pine staff went into a deep discussion about prin ting a six page issue. Well as you see we have the usual four pages. Just think you would have gotten more reading for the usual thirty cents and could have had more to find fault with. We are sorry you poor unlucky people. Just a thought—rthought some of you fellows might like to know that the prospective civilian fall enrollment is runhing into n um bers. And from what we hear some very nice little numbers. Bury Hall is ’’o open November 3. so map out your maneuvers accordingly. Next week the Pine will publish a list of Questions and answers regarding the behavior of men visitors in the womans dorm. The questions will run something like this: “If I walk into Bury Hall smoking a cigarette and the Dean of Women gives me a rather disgusting look — does that mean that I should change brands of cigarettes— or because I'm the oply one smoking should I offer everyone else a cigarette? I don’t know what to do." Well while you fellows ponder over that pressing issue— we shall do a bit of research and print THE. CORRECT answer in the P IN E . This moraine when it wasn’t bright but it was definitely early we saw the fire snow' of the winter of ’43. It was pretty cold and you may rest assured that its going to get a little cooler. In fact you might even have to look in Sears at those Holy Poly Baby Bunting outfits — we have our doubts as whether pink looks good with Marine greens—but its a fact that in a few day’s a package will arrive in the Marine mail from the above mentioned concern. So if the rest of you fellows can stand the rigors of winter a few more days it won’t be necessary’ to order— -ight unseen. / It was a bunch of paint sick girls t ^ t staggered out of Bury Hall Sunday morn. The womans dorm is getting some new licks of paint and It so happened that the occupied rooms also had to be painted—so for the sake of a lovely ceiling we suffered. Remind us to reprint this when the new girls arrive. Sacrifice and all that you know. Two New Books Deal With Marine CorpsVictory Two new publications dealing with the Corps have recently been placed on the booksellers’ shelves. One, a tale of Marines in action in the Pacific, is told jointly by- James D. Horan and Gerald Frank who named their book, “ Out In The Boondocks.” The writers have taken the stories of* 21 Leathernecks and combined them into an interesting and easily read narrative which proves that the USMC is not a “silent” service. The title of the story is taken from the point that a Marine is “out in the DoondocKs” when- he is practicing his profession in far places, meanly endowed with comforts, overgrown with vegetation and over-populated with enemies. Recent Marine "boondocks” covered in the story are Guadalcanal. Tulagi, Gavutu, Tanambogo, and other islands of the Solomons group, hitherto chiefly known only to missionaries, explorers and other adventuresome souls. Marine Tom Bussjaeger has just finished reading “Out In The Boondocks,” and said the book was so interesting that he couldn’t put it down until he’d finished reading it. Taking as his title a line from the well-known “Marines’ Hymn,” Captain William McCahill has written, “First To Fight,’’ a factual story of the Corps on land, at sea and in the air. This book, illustrated with drawings by E. Franklin Wittmack, gives a realistic picture of how from Montezuma to Makin, and from-rTrinidad to Tulagi, Marines have been “first to fight.” The battles of Wake, the Philippines, Midway, and Guadalcanal are emphasized in this account along ■with the 167-year history of the Corps which is compactly telescoped for the reader of todav. CH A IRM AN ADMIRES COOPERATIVE SPIRIT O f V-12 D A N C E BAND I wpuld like to take this opportunity to thank the V-12 boys of the dance band for their splendid cooperation last Saturday night in giving up their liberty and playing for the dance.

I f all of the V-12 boys wiil cooperate as well as the dance band there is no question but that we will be able to expand the facilities **® well as the opportunities.

Answer Call to Colors ART EXHIBIT AT COLLEGE LIBRARY Currently on display at Gam-mage Library is a new exhibit of water-colore by Jean Randolph Tafel. The Paintings Capturing the varying moods of autumn, winter, a rain storm, dusk— the artist has expresses in paint the changing penoranm that makes Arizona a creator’s paradise. With its center of interest on Oak Creek Cannon and the San Francisco Peaks, her work has a special appeal for citizens of Flagstaff and for students of the college who will remember the scenery’ long after they have forgotten academic work, y Contrasting with the engaging color of “ Beil Rock" and 4 Grand Canyon Sketch," is the reflective, somber tone of “Oak Creek" fin ished in grays and browns. Tucked among the landscapes is a detail called “Wheat Shock” which, on account of its unusual design and treatment, stands distinctly apart from the other paintings. Because of the variety of subject matter, changing moods, and thoughtful, careful treatment, these w’ater colors command attention. Nature and art lovers have a golden opportunity to take with them a fine artistic sample of Arizona’s phenomenal beauty. The Artist Jean Randolph Tafel. a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, won a scolarship at the Colorado Snrings Fine Art Center, and later attended the University of Mexico. She is now exhibiting at the Wisconsin State Salon of Art, as a guest artist, where she has received several awards during the past eight years. She taught at Hull House in Chicago two summers ago. She has resided in Flagstaff during the past year, and though she is Wisconsin-born, she likes to claim Arizona as her home. Her husband, architect Edgar Allen Tafel, until recently an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, is now serving his country in the United States Army. Mrs. Tafel is livin-at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Kittredge. MARINE ORDERS All Marines who purchased the Marine Handbook will receive a refund on pay day.

V-12 Men Claim South Carolinan For Their Own Well, gentlemen, the sheepherder has arrived. Startin g today, he is going to shear all the hair off your big, black bodies. I f you like>, he’l mail some of it home to your girl for you, who may want to run her fingers through it for the last time. His name — Soloman Alexander. His deluxe shop— first door to your right on entering Morton Hall Lobby. His price— a half-dollah. Mr. Alexander arrived here to continue his practice of tonsorial artistry, at the insistence of his son, Cpl. David Alexander, Ship’s Company. Son David read the stirring editorials in the P IN E about “this pusillanimous, ignominius malediction” (not having a barber), so, like a true Lumberjack, he decided to do something about it. Mr. Alexander was recently a member of the Marine Corps, Class Four. He was honorably discharged in July, 1942, for having defective vision. He had joined 30 days prior to his discharge in the hope of being able to sec service with his son. After enlistment, however, he had been sent to San Diepo, while David remained at Parris Island. His intentions had thus been somewhat thwarted. Nevertheless, on his release, he returned to Parris Island and became a civilian barber, on station. He remained at this endeavor for 14. months until only recently when he decided to “ follow in his son’s footsteps” once again. While in South Carolina, he was offered a Petty Officer’s rating by the Navy to superintend the laundry set up in its new air base at Burton. His knowledge of the cleaning business has developed out of 20 years experience at this activity, while building up a network of dye works I n Florida, which now includes some 16 branch offices. The cleaning business has been left in the capable hands of Mrs. Alexander for the duration, while tho two males of the family are out doing more important things. When Mr. Alexander first arrived in Flagstaff, he had nothing in the way of equipment but a razor and a gleam in his eye. However, he soon stumbled upon two barber chairs which somebody must have won in a rafile years ago, spruced them up a bit, and fu rn ished himself a room in Morton Hall, which now can be called nothing else but a Salon, and with one O, onlv. As regards the type of haircut required to fulfill V-12 rule, he stated that “modified G .I.’s” will be given. Although he is only scheduled to remain open 48 hours a week, he plans to utilize these hours with the maximum amount of efficiency, even promising to be open from seven to eight in the A. M. Besides the barber business, he is going to inaugurate a kind of ship’s store in his little den. Already he has cigarettes for sale at 15 cents per pack. So, Mr. Alexander, now th at the fellows know you’re here, may your stay with us be a profitable one. May you cut hair till it piles up to your chin. Who knows, maybe you'll be lucky. The Marine Corps barber who cut Tyrone Power’s hair found an old M ajor Bowes U nit that had been hissing from Hoboken for three years. Second Dance Held For V-12 Trainees Tho second in the series of dances for the V-12 trainees and their guests was held last Saturday evening in Ashurst auditorium. Dr. Elaon A. Ardrey, head of the music department, recently returned from his summer vacation, was In charge of the arrangements. The music was furnished by Kurt Miller and the V-12 orchestra. Hosts and hostesses for the evening included Mr. Ardrey, Dr. and «r». Henry Smith and Mr. and rs. Charles Sutphen.

Success of the Navy’s war production program depends upon its ability to deliver these instruments of power. In Ju ly , 1940, the Navy received five newly completed vessels; in June, 1943, almost 1,200. In Ju ly . 1940, tho Navy received 25 new planes; in June, 1943, almost 2,000. Between those two dates the Navy built 2,200,000 tons of ships. I t added to its air arm 23,000 planes. I t completed $6,500,000,000 of shore facilities. Three years ago, when the de fense program' began, the Navy had a fleet of 1,076 vessels displacing 1,875,000 tons. O f this fleet 383 vessels were warships: battleships, carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines. The weight of this fighting fleet was 1,313,000 tons. D uring the intervening three years the Navy has lost 58 w arships; a battleship, four carriers, nine cruisers, 32 destroyers, 12 submarines. I t has transferred to other nations or converted into non-combat vessels 129 other w arships. In all, it has lost or ^iven up 484,521 tons of fie hting ships— a small navy in itself. But at the end of three years the United States has the mightiest surface fleet in world history. Against the 1,076 vessels of three Birs ago the Navy now has 14,072. eir combined tonnage is almost five million tons against 1,875,000 tons fon th e fleet of 1940. In the new fleet the Navy, despite its losses, has 613 warships compared with 383 three years ago. Their tonnage— 2,217,982 tons— exceeds th at of the 1940 fighting ships by 70 per cent On Ju ly 1, 1940, the Navy air arm consisted of 1,744 planes of which 1,197 were fighters and bombers.. Since th at time the Navy has lost or written off as obsolete 6,800 planes. I t has transferred 2,100 to other agencies. The Navy a ir arm of mid-1940 has been erased more than five-times over. But the United States now has the most powerful Naval a ir force - in the world. Where there were 1,744 naval planes three years ago, on J u ly 31, 1943 there were 18.269, a tenfold net increase. In the midst of war, the United States has built its Navy into the greatest sea-air power on earth. Its sire is dwarfed only by the size of the task which confronts i t — Marine Corps Gazette. It’s The Reserves Who Win The Wars An item appeared recently in the Naval A ir Station News, Anacos> tia, D. C., which brings out a point concerning the value of the “ reserves” during w ar time: “ A young war-winning sailor, new to the Navy, was introduced to a crusty old Admiral in W ashington last summer. Feeling somewhat abashed, the neophyte remarked apologetically, ‘I ’m only a reserve. The old salt gave him a m artinet stare, wagged a finger at him and salJ. ‘Never use the “only" when you describe your status. The U. S. Navy, as such never won a war, nor has the Regular Army won one, except with the aid of the Reserves pressed into service f*>m civil life. Always remember this: You win our wars.

V-12 Men Claim South Carolinan For Their Own Well, gentlemen, the sheepherder has arrived. Startin g today, he is going to shear all the hair off your big, black bodies. I f you like>, he’l mail some of it home to your girl for you, who may want to run her fingers through it for the last time. His name — Soloman Alexander. His deluxe shop— first door to your right on entering Morton Hall Lobby. His price— a half-dollah. Mr. Alexander arrived here to continue his practice of tonsorial artistry, at the insistence of his son, Cpl. David Alexander, Ship’s Company. Son David read the stirring editorials in the P IN E about “this pusillanimous, ignominius malediction” (not having a barber), so, like a true Lumberjack, he decided to do something about it. Mr. Alexander was recently a member of the Marine Corps, Class Four. He was honorably discharged in July, 1942, for having defective vision. He had joined 30 days prior to his discharge in the hope of being able to sec service with his son. After enlistment, however, he had been sent to San Diepo, while David remained at Parris Island. His intentions had thus been somewhat thwarted. Nevertheless, on his release, he returned to Parris Island and became a civilian barber, on station. He remained at this endeavor for 14. months until only recently when he decided to “ follow in his son’s footsteps” once again. While in South Carolina, he was offered a Petty Officer’s rating by the Navy to superintend the laundry set up in its new air base at Burton. His knowledge of the cleaning business has developed out of 20 years experience at this activity, while building up a network of dye works I n Florida, which now includes some 16 branch offices. The cleaning business has been left in the capable hands of Mrs. Alexander for the duration, while tho two males of the family are out doing more important things. When Mr. Alexander first arrived in Flagstaff, he had nothing in the way of equipment but a razor and a gleam in his eye. However, he soon stumbled upon two barber chairs which somebody must have won in a rafile years ago, spruced them up a bit, and fu rn ished himself a room in Morton Hall, which now can be called nothing else but a Salon, and with one O, onlv. As regards the type of haircut required to fulfill V-12 rule, he stated that “modified G .I.’s” will be given. Although he is only scheduled to remain open 48 hours a week, he plans to utilize these hours with the maximum amount of efficiency, even promising to be open from seven to eight in the A. M. Besides the barber business, he is going to inaugurate a kind of ship’s store in his little den. Already he has cigarettes for sale at 15 cents per pack. So, Mr. Alexander, now th at the fellows know you’re here, may your stay with us be a profitable one. May you cut hair till it piles up to your chin. Who knows, maybe you'll be lucky. The Marine Corps barber who cut Tyrone Power’s hair found an old M ajor Bowes U nit that had been hissing from Hoboken for three years. Second Dance Held For V-12 Trainees Tho second in the series of dances for the V-12 trainees and their guests was held last Saturday evening in Ashurst auditorium. Dr. Elaon A. Ardrey, head of the music department, recently returned from his summer vacation, was In charge of the arrangements. The music was furnished by Kurt Miller and the V-12 orchestra. Hosts and hostesses for the evening included Mr. Ardrey, Dr. and «r». Henry Smith and Mr. and rs. Charles Sutphen.

Success of the Navy’s war production program depends upon its ability to deliver these instruments of power. In Ju ly , 1940, the Navy received five newly completed vessels; in June, 1943, almost 1,200. In Ju ly . 1940, tho Navy received 25 new planes; in June, 1943, almost 2,000. Between those two dates the Navy built 2,200,000 tons of ships. I t added to its air arm 23,000 planes. I t completed $6,500,000,000 of shore facilities. Three years ago, when the de fense program' began, the Navy had a fleet of 1,076 vessels displacing 1,875,000 tons. O f this fleet 383 vessels were warships: battleships, carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines. The weight of this fighting fleet was 1,313,000 tons. D uring the intervening three years the Navy has lost 58 w arships; a battleship, four carriers, nine cruisers, 32 destroyers, 12 submarines. I t has transferred to other nations or converted into non-combat vessels 129 other w arships. In all, it has lost or ^iven up 484,521 tons of fie hting ships— a small navy in itself. But at the end of three years the United States has the mightiest surface fleet in world history. Against the 1,076 vessels of three Birs ago the Navy now has 14,072. eir combined tonnage is almost five million tons against 1,875,000 tons fon th e fleet of 1940. In the new fleet the Navy, despite its losses, has 613 warships compared with 383 three years ago. Their tonnage— 2,217,982 tons— exceeds th at of the 1940 fighting ships by 70 per cent On Ju ly 1, 1940, the Navy air arm consisted of 1,744 planes of which 1,197 were fighters and bombers.. Since th at time the Navy has lost or written off as obsolete 6,800 planes. I t has transferred 2,100 to other agencies. The Navy a ir arm of mid-1940 has been erased more than five-times over. But the United States now has the most powerful Naval a ir force - in the world. Where there were 1,744 naval planes three years ago, on J u ly 31, 1943 there were 18.269, a tenfold net increase. In the midst of war, the United States has built its Navy into the greatest sea-air power on earth. Its sire is dwarfed only by the size of the task which confronts i t — Marine Corps Gazette. It’s The Reserves Who Win The Wars An item appeared recently in the Naval A ir Station News, Anacos> tia, D. C., which brings out a point concerning the value of the “ reserves” during w ar time: “ A young war-winning sailor, new to the Navy, was introduced to a crusty old Admiral in W ashington last summer. Feeling somewhat abashed, the neophyte remarked apologetically, ‘I ’m only a reserve. The old salt gave him a m artinet stare, wagged a finger at him and salJ. ‘Never use the “only" when you describe your status. The U. S. Navy, as such never won a war, nor has the Regular Army won one, except with the aid of the Reserves pressed into service f*>m civil life. Always remember this: You win our wars. We simply keep the guns clean during peace tim e'.” Thompson and Schmelzer, -please « Aztecs To Hang First Pennant In " Gopher Hole" “ F irst a g a in !” cried exultant ex- Aztecs, San Diego State College V *12 » t ASTC.
