Honolulu Tragedy Brings War Close Students Have Relations In War Zone Living on a war-time basis, in a coun try at war, is nothing new to Marian Anthulis. who went to Greece in 1936, and was a student there at the American College for Women. In 1939, the effects of World War II burst upon Greece, and Miss Anthulis found the calm of her school life in terrupted by. black-out practices, fire- drills, and drills in first aid and on the use of the gas mask. Many lectures she attended were on the tactics of war. Heads Neo Lea At the American college, Miss Anthu lis became a leader of a unit of the Neo Lea, or Youth Guilds, which Me taxas, the late dictator of Greece, had organized in an effort to rally the youth of the nation. When actual mobilization began in Greece, Miss Anthulis had to return to the States. She has since learned that the American college is now a hospital for Greek soldiers. Her years spent abroad were happy and valuable ones; she traveled in every country on the continent during the summer months, and went to school during the winter months. Enjoys Greek Life At the college, she found her Greek classmates friendly and hospitable, her program heavy. Extra-curricular ac tivities were centered around a varied and strenuous sports program, and dur ing her stay in Athens, Miss Anthulis developed superb swimming and diving skill with instructions from a Greek Olympic champion. Miss Anthulis, who lives in Gary, Indiana, found the Greek people fas cinating. They arc a kind, open-hearted people, who love their country dearly, she said, and it is this patriotism, so strong and sincere, that will carry them through these trying times. Freshmen Experiment With Diet and Soil Check and Double Check, white rats, are objects of the attention of Rita Erbach and Margaret Mary Whelan who are conducting a diet experiment on them as a pledge project, given to them among other projects at a meeting of the Biological section of the Science Forum. At the same time, Kathryn Fox was instructed to find out whether or not a plant will grow in a soil-less garden. The tragic news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, flashed to the world at 1:22 p.m., Dec. 7, had an immediate per sonal significance for almost every Mun delein student. Mary Jane Osten's brother is sta tioned with the U. S. Army at Pearl Harbor. Alyce Pankau's sister is in the Philippine Islands. Alice Breckinridge's brother is with the Army in Honolulu. Maude Shufli- towski's fiance is a lieutenant in the United States Navy, on the Island of Tuitila, American Samoa and so it goes almost everyone has some relation or friend in the danger zone. Rita Guest Phillips ex '43, whose hus band is an engineer under Navy contract in Honolulu, has been married just one month and is living at Waikiki Beach. Jeanne MeGinnis '41, received as a graduation present a trip to Honolulu. She was returning on the Lurclinc in the middle of the Pacific when the war broke out landed at San Francisco, Dec. 10. The German and Italian War declara tions on Dec. 11 quickened Edith Bukow- ski's consciousness of her brother's serv ice to his country. Graduated last week end from Annapolis, he has been assigned to the American naval base in Iceland. Audrey Ewry, Patricia Herbert, and Betty Clark are daughters of officers in the U. S. Army, all of them stationed just now in Chicago. Begin Collection of Regimental Insignia The Roman centurian had his eagle, the Crusader had his cross, and the United States armed forces have their insignia ranging from tiny lapel buttons to impres sive regimentals. A college collection of the divisional insignia, started by Audrey Ewry and added to by various service men, includes 35 different pins. Some are decorated with crosses, sa bres, lions, bugles, one has a galloping Indian, another, from the One Hundred and Eleventh Field Artillery, has three symbols, a cactus, commemorating the Mexican War, a castle, the Spanish American, and a fleur de lis, from World War I. The insignia are becoming significant and proudly worn accessories observe Patricia Herbert's necklace, with an im pressive U. S. in the center front and regimentals from Hawaii, Hongkong, and other points fastened to a yarn chain. 1941 in Review S hi (Continued from Page 3, Col. 1) signor Ryan in the keynote speech at Kansas City . . .
