Veteran Couple Become
Rookies Again, As Frosh
'S/Sgt. Howard Nurn'oerger and
Ids wife, First Lt. Gladys Nurn
berger, have just signed up for
another four-year hitch. _
Once again, they’re “rookies
—newly-enrolled freshmen at
the College.
'Howard, who pul in 31 months
with the signal corps in North
.Africa and Italy, is enrolled m
electrical engineering. Gladys,
•formerly a WAC recruiting offi
cer with the Sixth Service Com
mand, plans to study home
economics.
(Both are native Pittsburghers.
They were married in March
.1942, after Howard had been in
service six months. He shipped
out, and she skipped to the near
est recruiting station.
“I figured,” she recalls, “that
the WA;C was the place to be
when my husband was overseas.
And now that he’s in college, I
figure it’s tli c place for me, too.”
Gladys Fights Too
While Howard was fighting his
way through North Africa. Gladys
-•—who hss brown hair, brown
eyes, a pug nose, and a ready
laugh—was fighting her way
through the WAC Officers Train
ing School at De s Moines, lowa.
“Those seven weeks ol OCS,”
she says, “were the toughest I’ve
■over lived through. When I fin
ally got those gold bars, I felt
like Einstein.”
Their wartime differences in
rank seem to bother everybody
but the Nurnbergers.
. “People ar e always asking
about it,” Gladys explains, “but
we just think it’s funny. And we
certainly didn’t bother with any
military customs when Howard
came home.
The blond blue-eyed former
non-com added that he “honestly
didn’t think it was necessary to
salute my own wife, when I
hadn’t seen her for so long.”
Their First Home,
Temporarily' residing in a fur
nished room, the Nurnbergers are
anxiously awaiting' the go-ahead
signal to move into the trailer
community which the College is
setting up for married veterans
and their families.
It will be their first home. Both
seem to think it will be more fun

than trouble living in “trailer
town” because, as they explain it,
“everybody will be a veteran and
interested in the same things.”
“Anyway,” Gladys adds, “if
we could get through everything
in the army, we certainly ought
to be able to stand a few incon
veniences.”
Gladys and Howard both have
two brothers who also were in
service. Though she outranked all
five men in her family, the former
lieutenant seems more happy with
her present titles of Mrs. Nurn
berger and coed .Gladys Nurn
berger.

Jammed to overflowing, 105
Main (Engineering was the scene
Friday night of a mass meeting
inaugurating Campus Clique’s re
entrance into college after
an absence of over two years.
The meeting, called by several
members of the old Clique, was
attended by a cross-sectional re
presentation of the student body,
consisting ■ of sororities, Jra-terni
ties and independent men and
women, all seemingly interested in
the bringing back of the old party.
The purpose of the meeting, ac
cording to James McKecknie,
spokesman of the Campus Clique,
was to find out the feeling of those
present as to what the political
■success of the party would be.
After an open discussion, it was,
established that all were in favor
of the reformation. A publicity
committee was selected, and plans
were laid for further meetings in
the near future. I

Meet Mrs. Bettye Underhill-
Coed, Housewife, Mother
A new kind of merry-go-around
. . a human one . . . has been
discovered at the College.
Mi's. Bettye Underhill, a brown
eyed girl with a blue-eyed baby,
is a combination World War ill
veteran,’ coed, faculty wife, house
keeper, and mother.
Bettye, the mother of three
month-old “Robbie” and the wife
of (Bradford, a research engineer
at the Naval Ordnance Research
Laboratory, was honorably dis
charged from the Spars last De
cember and now her big aim is a
..degree in electrical engineering ...

Brad and his friends are talking
abouy she explains.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Llewellyn Power of Upper ’Mont
clair, N. J., Bettye met her hus
band at the Montclair High
School.
“It was one of those famous
platonic, friendships,” she says,
“and look how it ended.”
After high school, she became
one of the first enlisted Waves to
go in training and transferred to
the newly established Spars in
January 1943, at which time she
was sent to Boston where she
served as master of arms for the
district Coast Guard office of the
First Naval District. At the time of
her discharge, Mrs. Underhill had
worked up to second class quar
termaster . . . one of only three
women in the nation to aohieve
this rating.
Brad, in the meantime, had fin
ished his college work and obtain

married and set up housekeeping
in Cambridge ... “a wonderful
.time,” she recalls, “except f al-'
ways had to parade on Sunday, our
only day off.”
Last spring, after her discharge,,
: Bettye -came to State College, set
up housekeeping, and completed
• one semester of college, before her
baby, Robert Reid Underhill, was
born in'July.
Mrs. Underbill's status may be
confusing, but it has its advan
tages. For example, she‘belongs
both to the X-G-I Club and to the
;X-G-I ‘Wives. As a coed, she is
eligible for all student' activities
and as the wife of a faculty mem
' bef,. she’s always welcome at their
affairs.
Occasionally, Bettye confesses,
she has a few doubts about her
ability to keep house, care for the
baby, and go to classes, all at ’the
same time.
“But Brad insists I can do it,”
she smiles, “so I’m willing to try.”
