The Trials and Tril
Taken From Start
What Goes On Behind 01
Exterior, or Is It Really I
Have any of you passers-hy or
peekers-in ever considered the hub
bub, tumult, confusion, and uproar
that takes place within the con
fines of the Navy's dovecot the
first couple days of each ne%w se
mester? Aside from the exuberant
discussions about the new blonde
which moved into your neighbor
hood and the aqueous reception
accorded a visiting serviceman by
the folks back home, is the tor
tuous mad scramble for rooms for
the ensuing term.
It all starts when the evening
trains begin st reaming in from all
points---you come into the barracks
unshaven, undernourished, and un
ambitious after those few days in
Eldorado to find the harracks
doesn't look quite familiar - some
how the color of the walls looks
different, from the rooms you had
been confined to for the past umpty
nine months, the sacks don't look
quite as soft and fluffy as those you
50 recently neglected to utilize, the
floors have a new coat of wax,
and the roach powder is piled high
in all corners.
Then's when you begin scouting
around to find new roonimales for
the next four months, for Joe ship
ped out for flunking a refresher
course for the third time, and Bill
was just pledged into the Tappa
Kegs and his big brother is making
i-oon for hin in his conpaitment,
'cuz it's always ice to have some
one around to shine your shoes and
ease the burden on field day.
Last semester you had a little
difficulty with calculus and the
U'niversity and Navy decided tihat
it would be to your advatage 10
repeat the course, and so you cas
ually wander up to Mac, the unit's
junior edition of Dr. Williams. and
state your proposition, for he should
be of Immeasitrable valuie to you
in the coming months. Then too, it
wouldn't hurt to get Jim in with
you for his girl has the best look
ing doggone female fviend you ever
saw.
So. the three of you take a lih
erty together that last night of
leave, only to wake up the next
morning to the tune of a bellowing
Specialist's voice inst ructing you
not to mike any room arrange
ments, for the organization tias
been set up in !ho OD's office
mnd .cou find that you are to be
thrown in a room with that guy
that sat. in the back of your chem
class and "horrowed" twelve cents
from you one day in the cante'n
to buy himself and some babe a
coke, while you went dry. Some
how*. you manage to get l)on into
your room too- he sevnis like a
neighbor, since he live's only four
states away from .ou otut the're on
the West Coast.
Just when you've fmishe.d flip
ping a coin to soe wtho gets what
dreawers and closet space, anid who
will he the room capt ain the fi rst
week, three behemoth sixth-ter'mers
walk In to say t hat they want y'our
room, and they tire stur' you will
findt anot her gouod rIoom some place
nearby.

You stretch your scivvics to the

First Day
D)ear Mom:
I wanna go home, I'm scared. I
vent to register bright and early
his morning (my hair is dribbling
n my eyes from the fog) and when
entered the building some fellows
.elled, - ' ! * * " cover up, there's
i female in the building." I heard
various doors crash shut and I
hought perhaps I had better leave.
fterward someone told me I had
een in Tenement 18. From what I
zather females aren't allowed In
there.
ifecond Day
Dear Mom:
Please, please, let me come home.
[ can't take it for even one more
Ilay. There must be something
radically wrong with me. I've never
;een people stare so in all my life.
Fvery time I've passed some fellows
ind girls I heard ihe word "fresh
man," the males turn around en
mass and start looking-iand look
ing. The phrase "thumbs up" comes
next. accompanied by a look that
says "I'd love to show your our
rampus- some night."
Third Day
Dear Mom:
No my slip wasn't showing, '(-ause
they did it again today. I guess I
don't mind it terribly much, though,
because one of them had the most
precious smile and the bluest eyes
you've ever seen. I'll bet he'd have
gorgeous shoulders with i a sports
coat on too, but then, the war
can't last forever. I think I had
better make hay while tile sun

Fourth Day
Dear Mom:
Now it's the teachers I don't un.
derstand--every solitary one gave
homework to do for the very next
rlass. I don't suppose they've ever
been told just how badly homework
interferes with one's socialology. Of
course, there's very little in view I
that line right now, but then, never
let it be said that a daughter of
yours would give up without a heck
of a fight. Golly, how will I ever
get to the canteen this way-I could
do a little better if I dropped a
couple of courses. llow about It?
Oh yes, the canteen is where you
go to talk to people you don't
know. Since I've gone there I've
learned that the library Is the
ONLY place tt study at night. You
know how boring it is to study
alone, and over there the company
is absolutely grand.
Fifth Day
Dear Mom:
You needn't come after me, your
prodigal daughter I:- not returning.
I've changed my mind. lonestly, It's
heavenly! This is a beautimous,
marvelous, wonderful, fascinating
school!. Who could ever have
thought I'd love it so much. lie ask
ed me for a date! Imagine that!
I have my schedule completed and
I'm working for an A. B. in Cam
pusology. That's a course you can
really put your heart into. I love
you much, Mom, and please send
me sonic money-these Navy boys
charge 75c an hour for a date.
