tTHA The Mo The Mor A FAVOR THAT MONEY COULD NOT BUY Sgt. Julian Hymson, '41C, 26th T.C.S., Bergstrom AAF, Austi;, Texas: "No newvs is supposedly good news, but hearing from you or gettig a Gamecock is m1y choice e% ery time. It certainly is swell to read of all the activities both of the University and its ahnni who have spread out all over the globe. "'Hey, Frank, any mail for me, today?' "'Nope, Junie, sorry. Oh yes, there's a small newspaper for you camne in today.' "'Gee, what those few words do to a fellow after a day's workl 'There are few things we get here in Army life as welcome as The Gamecock. It revives such pleas ait memories a.-d seems to put one right back in the pleasatit atmos phecre of campus life that we en joyedl so much at Carolina. Cer.. tainly is good to read of all the fellows and how everyone is getting along. "Hlope this finds Carolina still do ing the grand wartime job it al 1'uys has done. I send( very b'est regards to all who are doing the alumni in the service a favor that money could not buy." LIKE A LETTER FROM HOME Midshipman Deward Brittain, '42J, Bni. 1. See. 5, !!14 1 .yons Hall, USNR U idshipmen's School. No tre Dame University, Notre Dame, Li]d., former editor of TIhe Game cock, who entered the service a few weeks ago andC already has been madle sub-comimander of his conipany, writes: " . . . I never knewv until now how~ much the alumni page meant to a graduate far reniovedl from the 'old1 stamiping Rrouind'. TIhiere are three other Carolina men tip here (Larry Gall, '39A; Douglas Alvastroth West moreland, '40A; and Irwin David Karesh, '41L), and they all devour the alumni newvs just as eagerly as I. Keep printing the wvhereabouts of Carolina men and( women as much as censorship will allow. As one Carolina man who probably won't see the campus again for a long time, the altimni news is like Sa letter from home." ROGER-WILCO-AND HOW! Lt. Palmer Stewart McClellan, A. C., '40A, now somiewhuere in Af rica: "I have just received myv copy of October 9th Gamecock. TIhis makes my second copy since I have been with the Fortresses in England. To say I appreciate~ them is a minor way of putting it so I'll just use the ole Air Force expression, 'It's Roger-Wilco-and How.' "F.ngland is a grand ole place; really the people treat us line they can't seem to dIo enough for us. And trying to tell y'ou how brave they really are is like try ing to tell you howt muchl we ap pieciate The Gamecock." NKS re Alumi -e Al.umn NEEDS WHAT ALUMNI AS SOCIATION IS PUTTING OUT -SEND SOMETHING S/Sgt. Cecial Aubrcy Gasque, '45C, director of the 1-'il ist ed \! Clu>, V'.S. Army, A: ' F.
