Letters Fr Serious Pearl Harbor, T. H. Nov. 26, 1942. The Alumni Association University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina Fellow Alumni: Today I received two copies of The Gamecock. That in itself is not extraordinary. What caused me to sit down and write this letter was the fact that I learned the whereabouts of several of my very close friends. Until today I have had no news at all concerning their activities or locations. I think the Alumni Association is doing a wonderful job in keeping news of the activities of its mem bers distributed. It is a great com fort to know that one's close friends are doing well and to know where they are. I have been in the Navy since Aug. 7, 1941. I entered as an en sign and was promoted to rank of lieutenant junior grade June 15, 1942. I have been on duty in the Bureau of Ordnance in Washing ton, D. C., uni' Sept. 15, 1942. Since that time T nave been on tem porary duty , staff officer on the staff of Commander United States Naval Air Forces, Pacinc Fleet. I wi!l probably return to Washington sometime next spring. Since I nave been on duty I have met several of my classmates in un usual places. I have probably missed some of them too because I haven't known where they were stationed. It gives mec a certain amount of satisfaction to enclose this check for my memifership dues. It sort of makes me feel that I am, in a small wvay, helping to make possible the continuation of the wonderful wvork you have started. Sincerely, W. J. (Bill) Comstock, Class of '42. -And Not So Serious Camp Hoan, Calif. Sunday Dear Ralph: Please accept my apologies for not having enriched the Alumni As sociation prior to this time, but fi nancially I have been one-existent for, lo these many weeks. How ever, by the grace of several duns to my father and several hundred other near and distant relatives, I have passed the crisis andi now find myself in a position to join your merry group. I am enclosing a check which is goodl. The only reason I'm enclos ing a check which is good is be cause I (1) don't have a b)ad one, (2) dlon't care to go to the peniten tiary, (3) don't look well in stripes. This check has a history. How ever, I am not H. G. Wells, so I won't start back with the amoebas Record Headquarters RECORD BAR sin Street MRS.

I'll simply explain that the reason you're getting it is because I can't get anybody to cash it for me. And although it has a very nice pastel color, it is rather useless-and I don't have room to make little notes on it, so I have signed my name on the back-to prove I am a college graduate and can write and to enable you to talk the man at the bank into giving you something more expendable. Disregard the part scratched out that was my commanding officer's signature-but he griped so much about having to sign it and standing a chance of losing 5 bucks that I scratched him out just to spite him -now he won't get any publicity. I hope that won't foul the works but if it does, let me know. It is slightly in excess of the amount required for your honorable society, but then I'm farther away and any news from Carolina is worth more. If I was to go in a joint around here and sing the Alma Mater, the patrons would probably pitch pennies at me, thinking I was singing Spanish folk songs or ped dling hot tamales. California-you might be inter ested to know, is a great state they tell me. All I've seen of it is the part of the landscape I've scraped off my shoes and emptied out of my socks. But then nobody signed me up for a sight seeing tour-and nobody's giving it to me. Although I'm in the medical de tachment, we do the same kind of training as anyone else-meaning walking, running, etc., etc., etc. all very crude forms of transporta tion-but one must expect such things as one comes to the frontier states. I'd like to write a startling state. ment about the true worth of Car.. olina that you could print and send out on a circular with membership blanks enclosed. But the guys out there seem to have more time to think about that sort of thing than I, so I'll leave all that sort of stuff to the communiques from Guadal canal, Timbuctoo a.nd Schenectedy. I might say that in a material way, my A.B. would be very val uable to me if I had it with me, as it would just about cover a hole in the wall next to my bed wvhich lets in water when it (shhh) rains.

William Theoditus Capers, '89A, bishop of the West Texas Episcopal diocese, died March 30 after a week's illness. He was born in ireenville, en tered the South Carolina College (now the University) in 1884, and began his rectorship at Grace church, Anderson, in 1895. Later he was rector of Trinity church, Vicksburg, Miss., and still later served in Philadelphia. He went to San Antonio in 1914 as bishop co adjuster of the diocese of West Texas. Two years later he as sumed control of the diocese, which includes an area of about 70,000 square miles. Bishop Capers was the first alumnus to join the As sociation for the 1942-43 year. On May 25, 1942 he wrote the Alumni office: "You will note that my letter is dated on the date of Alumni Day. So I will have you all in my thoughts and best wishes. It is hard for me to realize that so many years have passed since I was a student of the University. Some of the most treasured friendships of my life were begun on the cam pus. I assure you that I have the deepest interest in the work of the Alumni Association of the Univer sity of South Carolina and that I am ready to help in any way that I can." Ott July 27, 1942 Bishop Capers accepted an invitation to appear on the next Alumni Day Reunion pros gram for special prayer. the California Chamber of Com merce, you can take it from me that 1 i a lot of the time you have to get in the shade of a raincoat because of this California sunshine. Seriously, Ralph, I hope you and your organization can hold the in terest of the graduates in the trying period the school faces. I under stand it's almost completely con verted-and that means a redoubled effort for you and your co-workers. It's worth the effort-for Carolina is more than a body of land sur rounded by legislators. It's a sym bol and a breeding place for what we fight for today. Fine guy I am-talking about fighting. The only thing I've seen so far is a Japanese beetle-and that threw me on my back with a jui jitsu hold. I hope you can put the check to work. Regards to you and all, and yours for a Carolina--my Carolina. Your friend, Bob Quinn, (Class of '43).
