THE H-SU BRAND
January 31 1942
Hardin-Simmons Record in Three Wars
Reviewed By Veteran History Prof.
On n recent midnight broadcast
from the Cowboy Band studio by re-
mote control over Station KFJZ Fort
Worth with music by the "world fa-
mous" that has netted fan mail from
Kankakee 111. to Eugene Ore. Dr.
R. N. Richardson spoke briefly on
Hardin-Simmons and the war.
Reviewing the Hardin-Simmons
contribution in thrco wars Dr. Rich-
ardson said:
"Hardin-Simmons University has
never emphasized military training.
Christened by Its founders as 'The
College of Christ's Love' it has sought
to promote peace and good will at
homo and abroad. It has neverthe-
less met every crisis in the spirit of
patriotism and selfless devotion to the
national interests. Three times in Its
life span of half a century it has
been called on to give aid in n na
tlonal crisis and three times it has
responded.
1898 Patriotism
"In 1898 Simmons men left their
classes to join the colors. In 1017
before war had been declared a week
Its students and staff members were
drilling. Training was continued.
through that year; in 1918 a Student
Army Training Corps of 125 men was
established on the campus; and it had
begun to send contingents to the can
tonments when an armistice was de
clared on November 11.
"In the present war the Hardin-Simmons
contribution will be
far greater. For three years it
has maintained civilian flying
classes under the direction of
Professor J. . Burnam. The
army and navy have drawn
heavily on these students for
pilots and already about 50 of
them arc flying in the service.
The school program has been
shaped to meet the emergency Of
especial value arc courses being
offered in the natural sciences
. mechanical drawing business ad-
ministration and physical educa-
tion. "A number of men nre taking ad-
vantage of the generous offer of the
navy to permit them to enlist in the
reserve and to finish their schooling
before they enter active service. Oth-
T3 have withdrawn to enter the
nrmy the navy or the marine corps.
Service Flag
"There are nearly two hundred
stars on the Simmons service flag
for world war one 13 made of gold.
If our records were complete the flag
of today would bo much larger.
"Already three stars must be
made of gold: There is Lconce
Stephenson killed in training;
Jay Pietzsch killed by the Japa-
nese in the dastardly onslaught
on Hawaii; and Leon Bartlett
who fell while fighting over far
away Manila.
"We shall not forget these men
and we shall carry on the torch they
have flung to us.
"Simmons College Simmons Uni-
versity Hardin-Simmons University
the name has changed but the spirit
is the same nnd lives on."
Alpha Chi Chooses

Music Notes
Interest In New Beginner's Orchestra
Fifteen students signed up the first
day of registration for n new begin
ncrs class in orchestra for college
students under the direction of Prof.

The school furnishes n limited num-
ber of instruments nnd all others who
can furnish their own instruments
may join the class which will meet

The purpose of the orchestra is to

had orchestra work before but nre
interested in learning it. This semes-
ter the students will be admitted for
a small registration fee. The first
lessons will be learning in unison to

You Gotta Get Up
(Continued from page 1)
When Professor Campbell walked in
the door we buried our head n little
lower in the paper because we had
just cut his English class. When we
thought we had escaped his notice he
piped up with "Surely getting to
classes regular now aren't you?"
We'd have gladly crawled through a
hole in tho floor if there had of been
one large enough.
Having finished our coffee and
doughnut and crossword puzzle we
started to go to our 10:30 class but
shucks it was already 10:45. Lale
aguin. My how time docs fly when
we're not In a classroom. Wo met
some of the gang then nnd got into u
bull session so by then it was time
to go to the Dining hall for lunch.
It was such a pretty afternoon that
a class was farthest from our mind.
Who can study when it's wenther like
this or listen to a dry lecture on
something that happened n thousand
years ago 7
Well we missed our first day of
class in tho new semester but maybe
fate will be with us next time nnd
We will at lenst make one of them
tomorrow.
There is no home in all the land
but will have its hush. Spanish pro-
verb. o
Too many nre interested in the
fanciful rather than tho truthful.
CAA Students Asked
To Join Air Corps
Students who took the civilian pilot
training course here nt H-SU have
received letters from Brig. Gen Don-
ald H. Connolly administrator of
civil aeronautics asking that they
join up with tho army or navy nir
forces.
Brig. Gen. Connolly says that he
acted upon tho request of the army
and navy aviation services when ho
wrote every CPT graduate tho follow-
ing letter:
"Which servico you enter is n mat-
ter of your choice. This request is
merely that you act upon your pledge
given at tho beginning of the CPT
course to apply for air training in
the armed forces if and when needed.
Both the army and navy air forces
have given notice that more appll
cants nre needed now."
Approximately 00000 pilots havo
graduated from this flying course
with from 35 to 200 hours flying timo.

candy bars and soda pop bottles and
lay them end to end they would
nearly surround the Hardin-Simmons
campus.
Sales of sweets have increased of
late. Two theories havo been ad-
vanced for this increase. One that
the government hns taken a hand in
the trade and require the products to
contain more vitamins nnd dextrose
than in the past. The other renson
advanced by imaginative minds is
that most of our 800 students aro in
love and the association of ideas
causes them to crave something sweet
in the daytime too. (Perhaps tho
bookstore would do a good business in
box chocolates too if the price
wasn't too high). To wish-think n
little if one could use the pop bot
tles nnd candy bars as bricks it
wouldn't tnko so very long to build a
sweet little love nest just big enough
for two if we had the contractors.

CAA courses at 'H-SU during the
spring semester under new rules of
tho government will hnvc a total
quota of 20 boys from 18 to 20 years
of age in tho elementary and secon-
dary flying classes according to Prof.
J. E. Burnam ground Instructor.
Tho government now pays for tho
physical examination nnd gives a
$3000 accident policy to nil boys en-
rolled in tho course. The total cost
of the courso Is $10 and four semes
ter hours of college work will be giv-
en said Burnnm.
The quota is filling up rapidly and
those interested in the courses should
see Prof. Burnnm at once. Prof. II.
F. Ballenger physics instructor is
also a ground teacher. These courses
give the boys a deferment In the draft
and they aro able to enler the air
corps immediately nfter' tho training

This is London
I (Continued from pago 1)
British capital arc considered such
an nccurato description of England
at war that they have been compiled
into a book "This Is London."
Tho immense popularity of his ra-
dio reports is probably due to the per-
sonal touch he included in each of
them an account of some little shop-
keeper whose store wns wrecked by
a bomb or some mention of the brav-
ery of a little girl who lost her fam-
ily in n raid. To obtain this material
Murrow mingled among the people
of London tho rich nnd the poverty
stricken clerks and housewives to
find out their reactions to the events
taking place about them. All his
spare time was spent In this manner
nnd his now method of news report-
ing has been widely copied.
The alert news nnalyst has been
chosen by Charles Scribncr's Sons to
write the preface of a book of lec-
tures of England today "Bloody But
Unbowed" becnuse they felt that he
was the "most influential American
commentator."
In October of 1040 ho received the
award of the Overseas Press Club an
organization composed of foreign cor-
respondents nnd wns cited as "Tho
foreign correspondent who during the
first year of tho second World War
has contributed most ns n result of
his work toward the information of
the American people and for the for-
mulation of American national policy
in international relations."
