Red Tape For Gl's
Musi Be Slashed
Speedy Reabsorption
Needed, Says Galbraith
Robert E. Galbraith, newly-ap
poirited faculty counselor of vet
erahs at the College, , envisions his
job as one in which red tape must
be slashed to permit the rapid re
absorption, of servicemen.
Pointing out that veterans have
learned ‘to take care of themsel
vds' in some very complex situa
tions,” he is convinced the ma
jority will want to resume, their
war-interrupted" careers with the
least possible delay.
“battle iftatured riien,” he ex
plained, “are accustomed to fac
ing the facts in a burry. Once ap
praised of a situation, they will
act promptly and intelligently.
Our. job will be to provide the es
sential data, and give them need
ed counsel and guidance.”
The faculty counselor says his
personal correspondence with
former students now in the ser
vice reflects, a desire to return to
college and obtain an education
quickly.
• The 14-man committee which
Galbraith heads at the 1 College al
ready has tackled the job of crea
ting an organization to'which ser
vicemen may turn for assistance
when they return to the. campus.
The chairman predicts the return
of 4000 former students soon af
ter the war ends.

What’s the best known vehicle on your college campus? You will
probably agree it’s the Railway Express truck. And one of the best
liked men is the dependable Expressman who drives that truck.
There’s a good reason why these trucks are on the campus so fre
quently. It’s to serve your shipping needs. Express Service is a strong,
direct link with’home.
Railway Express arid its coordinated Air Express Division are
carrying ii substantial shipping load these busy days. You can help the
Expressman arid his vehicle do their job quicker'and better by observ
ing three.'simple steps: Wrap your laundry or other packages securely
... address each clearly... ship them early. We know "A shipment
started: right is half-way there."

THE CAMPUS OWLS
cognized By American Federation of Musicians
Two couples tied for first place
in the IWA-IMA “Scava Dance”
scavenger hunt Saturday night,
resulting in a four-way split of
the $5 prize.
Winners were Lyn Rummel and
Joseph Johnson, and Ruth King
ston and Bob Smith.
Among the items on the list
were a lock of red hair, a set of
false fingernails, a Phillie cigar
ring, Royal Crown bottle top,
blonde bobby pins, a pair of plaid
shoelaces, and an ’autographed
picture of Frank Sinatra.
According to Miss Rummel, the
easiest item to find was the lock
of red hair, because her partner’s
hair was red. The couple arrived
back from the hunt almost 15 min
utes before Miss Kingston and
Smith, but confusion over ono
item, a pair of theater stubs dat
ed September 8, caused the jud
ges to call the hunt a tie.
