This was a typical reaction to
the presentations of the All-
College dance band at its concert

jazzier' numbers such as "The
Theme" and "Fudge" while quiet
attention was given to the smooth
numbers such as. "Pleasant Val
ley" and "Where or When."
"The Theme" and "Pleasant
Valley" are two original numbers
written by Jack Huber, director
of the band, and "Fudge" is an
original written by Elmer C.
Wareham, associate professor of
music.
One of the highlights of the
program was a
,take-off on the
ever-popular "You Are My Sun
shine."
The song was played in ,the
style of nine different bands,
Tommy Dorsey, Bob Crosby, Xa
vier Cugat, Guy Lombardo, Glenn
Miller, Benny Goodman, Dizzie
Gillespie, the band itself, and of
course, Penn States own Blue
Band.

Casino Mission
By JOHN SHEPPARD
Imagine yourself as a tail gunner in a B-25 medium bomber
flying over Casino, Italy. Its your 50th mission. The dak is Jan. 17,
1944. One engine has been knocked out; radio coznmunications and
the fuel pump are gone, and your ship has 52 bullet holes in it.
A little drafty, wouldn't you, think?
Stretching your imagination a little too far, you say? Well, for
Early Garret, who lives in Hamil-.
ton Hall, it wasn't. It was far
from it, foe- these impressive
memoirs will long live in his war
seasoned: mind.
Crashed in Nigeria
It- all began nine' years ago.
After being graduated from Erie
Academy' in 1935, Early worked
for five years as -a machinist re
pairman in the maintenance de
partment of General Electric.
On Jan. 9, 1942 'the former Erie
track performer enlisted in the
Army Air Force. After completing,
his , basic training at Fort Meade,
Md., Early went to gunnery school
at Panama 'City, 'Fla.
• 'From there his destination , was
overseas.• It was April Fool's , 'day.
After flying over South America,
his plane landed on Goald Coast,
Accra, British West Africa. During
the flight, however, his ,ship blew
a tire, crash-landing in the j ungle
near. Nigeria.
After refueling at- Cairo, Egypt,
his crew flew over the Mediter
rannean Sea to Castel-Benito.
There he joined' the 82d bomber
squad r o n, 12th bombardment
group under the direction of Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg, who at that
time was a one star general.

Money Group
The West Dorm Student Council
last night reactivated a - commit
tee, headed ,by Richard Taglang,
to consider
_raising money for the
council.
The committee was previously
formed for similar reasons earlier
in the semester.
David Stamm, council secretary,
was named head of a committee
to look into service in the West
Dorm snack bar. The committee
was formed as a result of com
plaints of dorm members of poor
service in the snack bar.
Council president Richard Mills
appointed David Seyler as the
new publicity chairman of the
group. The previous chairman re
signed because of other duties.
The council also discussed plans
for a continuation of_ exchange
dinners every Sunday luncheon.
Mills will investigate-the matter.

"My first bombing mission was
over Cape Bon, Africa. All I saw
were big, black gulfs," Early said.
"It was just like a picnic," he
added. His second mission was
over Palermo Harbor. Sicily.
'There we got caught in the search
light," Early said, "and, the anti
aircraft was very concentrated."
A little bit uneasy, the present
fifth semester junior phoned' to .
his pilot (Capt. - Edward Yoimt)
and said, "we're being shot at
"You know they're allowed to 'do
that," the captain replied: "It
wasn't as easy as it looked, and
when we got back I was scared,"
Early continued.
After witnessing
.the invasion
of Sicily, Early was switched from
the Ninth air force into the 12th
under Gen. Jimmy Doolittle. At
that time he had been on 30 mis
sions.
Feb. 7, 1944, Early received
orders to leave evrything, for his
squadron was moving, out. Thus,
with $2OO in his pocket, Early had
a rollicking time for two weeks
while on leave in Cairo. Then he
wai'shippedto Bombay. While tra
veling on a British ship, Early
couldn't, eat the onion soup, tea,
and - bread which he was being
served. One day while on deck,
however, he noticed a fellow put

on the upper deck. In return a
