Mr Johnston will tell about 
that sea engagement, the sink­

more recent engagements in the 
South Pacific. For personal 
bravery during the battle he has 
been recommended for a citation.
During the last hours of the 
aircraft carrier, the correspondent 
rescued several wounded and daxed 
men from within the burning hull 
of the ship and afterwards pulled 
60 exhausted swimmers from the 
oil-filmed waters.
At the outbreak of the war in 
Europe, Mr Johnston was oper­
ating a news gathering agency. 
He covered the battle of Britain, 
returned to the United States to 
complete his qualifications for 
final citizenship, and shortly af­
ter Pearl Harbor joined the 
United States Pacific fleet as an 
accredited war correspondent.
During the last war, Mr John­
ston served with an Australian 
artillery unit. His latest book is 
“Queen of the Flat Tops.”

U Stenographic 
Bureau to Supply, 
Train Workers
Because of the war and the turn 
over of woman power the U Sten­
ographic bureau has found it 
necessary to enlarge its staff and 
to supply coeds to take over of­
fices or to train new workers.
All those interested in work­
ing for the bureau should phone 
Dorothy Punderson, head of the 
employment bureau, for an ap­
pointment. Likewise, any depart­
ment who needs stenographic 
work done should also call Miss 
Punderson.
The applicants should have a 
year’s experience, in this type of 
work at the University; they should 
be doing academic work at the 
University, and they should have 
tested slrill in typing, shorthand, 
filing and other office work.

Ruggles, Freeman Retire 
From Ag Staff Tomorrow
After 40 years of service on the University Ag Staff, Professor A. G. Ruggles and 
Dr E. M. Freeman will retire tomorrow.
Professor Ruggles, veteran state entomologist, has played an important part in the 
development of the division of entomology and economic zoology. He will continue in
the state entomologist’s office in 
an advisory capacity. -
Besides teaching and supervis­
ing research in the University,
Professor Ruggles, in his capacity 
as state entomologist, has been

Guidance Exhibit 
Displayed at Union
The third anhual exhibit of Sci­
ence Research associates, publish­
ers, is being displayed in the foyer 
of the Union this week.
Rating scales, tests, books and 
pamphlets on the subject of test­
ing and counseling are in the ex­
hibit. There is also a bibliogra­
phy of vocation guidance and 
testing material which is at the 
disposal of students and faculty 
members.
ActiuUi&i Will Keep, *14 StudUnii Hutof
This is th-e second in a series of articles explain­
ing the opportunities open to University students to 
do war work during the summer.
Students may spend their spare time helping the 
war effort in various fields, from caring for chil­
dren and rolling bandages to donating blood and 
doing Red Cross secretarial work.
Twin City settlement houses are badly in need 
of workers who will help care for and entertain 
children in the neighborhood.
Day camping will be an important part in the 
activities of most of the settlement houses. Day 
camps are designed primarily so that children who 
are unable to attend a regularly established camp 
will be able to get some of the same fun and 
experiences of camp life.
Assistants or instructors in all camp skills are 
needed. Coeds who are senior life savers may guard 
swimming areas. Dramatics, music, handicraft and 
nature leaders are wanted. Girls with camping 
experience hre needed to take older children on 
Youth Hostel trips.
In addition to Day Camp counselors, volunteer 
workers are needed for playground supervisors, tap 
dancing teachers, cooking and sewing instructors, 
club leaders, story tellers, leaders for field trips to 
various points and buildings in the Twin Cities, 
leaders for baseball and volley ball clubs and girls 
to help in nursery schools.
Girls interested in volunteering for this work ' 
should stop at the YWCA office, 215 Union.
The YWCA club service project takes care of 
sewing on new insignia for the servicemen sta­
tioned on campus, mending socks and wrapping 
packages. The probable hours for this project s 
summer schedule are 6:30 to 7:30 p. m. Monday and 
Wednesday in Sanford hall and 11:30 a. m. to 1:30 
p. m. Tuesday and Thursday in 321 Union. Coeds
interested in this work may also register in the 
YWCA office.
Drives for sports equipment which the service­
men stationed on campus could use will continue 
to be carried on through the summer. Even if a 
tennis racket has lost its strings or a golf club 
needs rewinding it will be welcomed by the outings 
and mixers committee of the Union board, under the 
direction of Thad Baker, Arts junior. The commit­
tee will repair all equipment turned in, and if stu­
dents wish only to loan rackets or clubs, the com­
mittee will also make arrangements for returning 
the pieces.
Afghans are being made by the YWCA for refu­
gees and evacuees. Six-inch squares of any color 
and any weight yam are turned in to the YWCA 
office, to be crocheted together after enough are 
completed.
“This is a good way to use up those scraps of 
yam you have around the house, sorority, or dormi­
tory,” Elizabeth Johns, executive secretary of the 
University YWCA, said.
If you don’t have enough spare hours to donate 
your time to one of these projects, but still want 
to keep informed on the latest war news, visit 
the War Reading room in the Library regularly. 
There you will find papers, bulletins and books 
on all subjects related to the fighting fronts, ra­
tioning and post-war planning.
Other Red Cross projects .which summer school 
students can take part in, but which require more 
time, can be signed up for at Red Cross Chapter 
headquarters, Ge. 8371, at 325 Groveland avenue. 
Some of these, such as the Nurses Aid classes 
and bandage rolling, are scheduled for specific 
hours of the week.
The Red Cross rooms in the Union will be kept 
open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for University 
students who wish to get in some hours on this 
project. Students may sign up in the AWS office.
One type of volunteer worker for which the YWCA is looking is 
playground supervisor. Coeds are also needed to take care of children 
in the homes of war workers.
Umhmi Beard to Have 
Vacancy Until Fall
The Union Board of Governors 
decided at its last meeting to 
leave the vacancy left by Thad 
Baker to be filled in the fall 
quarter. Baker is leaving next 
week for Illinois Normal where he 
will be in the naval V-12 train­
ing program. He was sponsor of 
Union mixers and outings.
G. Ray Higgins, Uniqn director, 
announced that the basic engineer 
group is being fed in the ballroom
annex and the pre-medics and pre­
dents in the recreation room.
U Theater Presents 
'Ah, Radio* Tomorrow
“Ah, Radio,” a play by Joseph 
Beck, will be given by the Uni­
versity theater at 8 p. m. tomor­
row and at 3:30 and 8 p.m. Friday 
in the Music hall auditorium.
Students must show fee state­
ments and faculty members their

Civil and Military Clique 
Governs Japan—Quigley
By Harold S. Quigley and the policy of Japan is the policy of his offi-
/Vo/e*#or of Political Science rials.
ProfeHHor Quigley answers the following state­
ment by Jack Morrow, last week’s Convocation 
speaker, as quoted in The Daily of June t5:
“Hirohito is the government of Japan. He is the 
executive, legislative and judicial branch of the 
government in atldilion to his side job of being a 
god."
R MORROW gave us an excellent address, on 
the whole. But in the above-quoted statement 
he ignores the highly important distinction between 
constitutional position and actual power.
It is a fart that the emperor is constitution­
ally an absolute ruler, subject only to the ap­
proval of the Diet or parliament in certain mat­
ters. But by long tradition, which is as firmly 
controlling today as under the feudal shogunate, 
the emperor, like the King of England, reigns 
but does not rule.
This tradition is even stronger in Japan than in 
England, based as it is upon the legend that the 
Japanese imperial family are descendants of the 
sun goddess and therefore must be regarded as 
above mundane politics. Consequently the emper­
or nets only upon, and in accordance with, advice,
The real government of Japan is an oligarchy, 
a ruling clique of high officials, civil and mili­
tary. During the present war the high military 
officials have gained power at the expense of the 
civil bureaucracy but the latter still participates 
in determining policy.
Premier Tojo is not personally an important fig­
ure but as the representative of the supreme com­
mand he sways the cabinet and dominates the Diet. 
The emperor would no more think of acting coun­
ter to his advisers than King George VI would 
think of opposing the will of the British Cabinet.
“Boiled onions” or not, the emperor of Japan is 
the symbol of the country’s unity and power. The 
masses think of him as the real ruler, making it 
easy for the oligarchy to prostitute the emperor to 
their will. Our enemy is not the emperor but the 
clique of neo-samuri behind the throne. Nothing 
pleases the gentry better than to have us believei 
that they are obeying the emperor.
Nothing would be more significant for our war 
effort than to be able, by the right use of propa­
ganda, to convince the people of Japan that their 
god-emperor is but a puppet in the hands of war­
mongers and imperialists.
My Daze
jSp QloJua ^bafifxeA,
fEUlE importance I attach to other people’s opinions of me guides my 
every thought, word and action; and, in this respect, I think I am 
representative of a good many of my fellowmen.
Take, for instance, any day out of my life, (there wouldn’t be 
much loss.) I rise from my bed of pain so that my roommate will not 
make me feel lazy and inconsequential in the scheme of things. After 
this painful scene, I struggle into some things called clothes. From 
my neat heap I pick up that\««tfiiment of torture that makes the 
Chinese boot look like a sissy. I am speaking in these scathing tones 
of the girdle. Comfort certainly was not my motive in buying that 
breath-compressor. But in it I can wear a size smaller in a skirt, and 
since salesgirls frighten me, I try to please them by looking as trim 
and neat as possible in anything they hang on me.
U Reading Clinic 
Will Test Students
The University testing bureau 
reading clinic will be open this 
summer for a limited number of 
students doing remedial reading 
work.
Those interested should report 
to the University testing bureau 
for an appraisal of their reading 
skills. If remedial work is neces­
sary, there will be opportunity for 
special work in speed of reading, 
vocabulary and other special skills.
Dr Maurice Woolf, counselor, 
will be in charge of the reading 
clinic.

Schmoker Coordinates 
U Religious Program
The religious organizations near the campus are cooperating in 
carrying out a program for regular students and servicemen under 
the direction of J. Benjamin Schmoker, executive secretary of the 
YMt'A and coordinator of religious work.
Three major committees handle
the campus religious program. 
The council of religions on main 
and Ag campuses is composed of 
all the professional religious work­
ers of those organizations recog­
nized by the dean of students of­
fice. This group takes an over-all 
stand on campus religious needs, 
educational and social, and inte­
grates all the religious work.
The student council of re­
ligions, composed of two repre­
sentatives from each resident re­
ligious group on the main cam­
pus, deals with the student lead­
ership and student participations 
in religious activities.
The third committee for religious 
coordination is the special inter­
faith committee doing work related 
to campus war service programs. 
This is a planning group for re­
ligious services to the military 
units on campus. It grew out of 
the president’s policy for war pro­
grams.
As member of these three com­
mittees, Mr Schmoker acts as co­
ordinator of religious work. In 
addition, he is delegated the re­
sponsibility for the total religious 
program of military personnel, re­
ligious counseling, welfare work 
with the military units and the es­
tablishment of a cultural program.
A majority of the military 
personnel list their preference as 
Protestant. So general Protes­
tant services, a Catholic mass 
and a Jewish service are held 
regularly.
Other work of the religious co­
ordinator in connection with the 
servicemen on campus includes 
visiting the sick wards in the Uni­
versity hospital daily. One Sunday 
each month, special arrangements 
are made for the military men and 
women to attend Twin City 
churches. Outstanding religious
leaders of all faiths will be brought 
to campus.
“In service” memberships to the 
YMCA are available to all military 
personnel through the cooperation 
of Mr Schmoker and the Univer­
sity YMCA.
Library Social Program 
Begins Next Wednesday
The social program of the sum­
mer session library school students 
will include a talk by Helen 
Clapesattle, author of “The Doc­
tors Mayo,” next Wednesday and 
a tea honoring women authors of 
the Twin Cities on July 18.
Frances Vail, Olga Sliper, Eliza­
beth Dickey, Blanche Thompson 
and Elizabeth Bantz are on the 
general arrangements committee.

ed the first plant pathology divi­
sion in the United States.
He has been dean of the Col­
lege of Agriculture, Forestry 
and Home Economics for the 
past 26 years. He originated the 
“little red oil can” award which 
is given annually to a student, 
teacher or organization on the 
Ag campus for outstanding ser­
vice to the college. Last Decem­
ber the dean himself was pre­
sented with the oil can.
One of the dean’s greatest in­
terests has been the development 
of student citizenship through a 
student council, honor system and 
self-government activities. These 
developments were attained after 
he became dean in 1917.
After dressing, I take down my hair—but literally. AH night I 
have made dents in my head with ends of steel bobbypins poking 
into it. My hair never looks any better when 1 put it up at night. But 
1 will leaVe my sixtieth birthday party before all the champagne is 
gone, so that I shall have time to put up my silver locks.
During the day I have several cokes. I don’t particularly like 
cokes, but everybody drinks them, so I suppress my desire to order 
orange juice. On these coke dates I say just what is expected of me. 
People I speak of are either smooth or revolting. Ideas my friends 
get are either hot or non-sharp. 1 talk about the Dorsey brothers, the 
lack of men on the campus, who just hung his pin, the vile food in the 
Union. I punctuate all remarks with too-loud laughter, in order to be 
one of the kids.
Between cokes I have classes. Here I am torn between terror 
of what my professors will think if I cut class, and fear of what 
friends will say if I don’t. Since my professors grade my work, they 
usually win out, but 1 try to invent some excuse for leaving the coke 
hour, such as, “I’ve got to go today. We’re having a test.” Once I 
said, “I wouldn’t miss this class. I really am getting a lot out of the 
course.” These words I spoke to a very dear friend of mine last 
month. She hasn’t called me since.
Is it worth it? “No,” I say to myself. Furthermore, I am not going 
to allow myself to be ruled by public opinion any longer. I’m going 
to wear what I’m comfortable in. I’m going to speak fearlessly of my 
interest in academic subjects. I’m going to scorn bridge and devote my 
evenings to study. Let other people drink cokes all day. Not I! I m go­
ing to be free and lighthearted and individualistic from now on.
(Sorry to cut this short, but I’ve got to put up my hair.)

A4rs A4. Wilkin, 
Oldest U Grad,
Is Buried Today
Mrs Mathilda Campbell Wilkin, 
the oldest graduate of the Uni­
versity and its first woman in­
structor, died Sunday at her home 
in Minneapolis. She will be buried 
today at the. University Baptist 
church.
Earlier this month Mrs Wilkin, 
who celebrated her ninety-seventh 
birthday five months ago, was pre­
vented from attending the annual 
alumni meeting because of a cold. 
It was the first time she had 
missed a meeting since her gradu­
ation in 1877.
She retired from the Univer­
sity staff in 1911 after 33 years 
of teaching English and Ger-
Mrs Wilkin always celebrated 
her birthday, January 27, with a 
tea and open hou'se at her home. 
University officials, faculty mem­
bers and her former students fre­
quently attended.
a time, but they may be exchanged 
as frequently as desired.
“The University gallery has 
tried to go beyond the regular 
art institute idea,” Mrs Ruth 
Lawrence, assistant professor 
and director of the gallery, said. 
“With our method, a person can 
take a picture of his own choos­
ing in order to become more fa­
miliar with it through constant 
contact.
“When the gallery first opened 
in 1935, it was difficult to rid stu­
dents of the idea that art was 
high-brow. The gallery has con­
quered this idea to a great extent. 
Fraternities and sororities send 
members over to get pictures for 
their bouses. The navy has rented 
a number of pictures to decorate 
the U.S.S. Minnesota. And faculty 
members and students make good 
use of this service.”
Records show that the most 
popular pictures are those by mod­
ern artists from Cezanne to the
present day. A special interest 
has been shown in cubism and ex­
pressionism.
The University opened the gal­
lery in April, 1934. Hudson 
Walker was appointed curator 
for three months, and at the 
time Mrs. Lawrence, then on the 
General college staff, was asked 
to help in the -experiment. The 
gallery began because of the 
need for a center foi1 stimulat­
ing the cultural life of the stu­
dent body.
Mr Walker began the loan collec­
tion in conjunction with the gal­
lery. He started a permanent 
originals collection, and with the 
president of the University, hired 
PWA artists to paint campus 
scenes. This was a nucleus for a 
collection of contemporary Ameri­
can art. The majority of the prints) 
are lithographed reproductions 
printed in full colors of the world’s 
best pictures. These are framed 
by men hired by the University.

Though the average time it 
took 21 students to run 440 
yards remained practically the
same, the group averages for
chins decreased three per cent 
and on dips the drop was eight 
per cent. On the jump-reach, 
which physical educators no
longer consider indicative of
anything but "explosiveness,” 
the students gained six per 
cent.
On the other hand, a quarter’s 
work produced significant changes. 
The averages for a group of 66 in­
creased 54 per cent in the number 
of dips, 31 per cent in the number 
of chins and one per cent on the 
jump-reach. Thirteen per cent 
was lopped off the average time 
for running the 440.

Cop/ Go/es, A/ew Naval CO, 
Has Served on 14 Ships
Slide Rules!
C*pt J. W. Gates, USN, who > 
assumed his duties as command' 
ing officer of the naval officers’ 
training unit and professor of na^ [ 
yal science and tactics at the Uni- !; 
Versity last Tuesday, has had a 
long and varied career in the navy.
Capt. Gates came here from | 
San Francisco where he was 
public relations officer of the 
Twelfth Naval district. He had 
retired in the summer of 1939 
after 32 years of service but [ 
was recalled to active duty in 
May. 1941. Since then he has 
done public relations work.
He was graduated from the 
Naval academy in 1911 and served 
on the USS Maryland and the 
USS Washington as a passed mid­
shipman. As an ensign he served 
on the USS Rhode Island and the 
USS Cummings, a destroyer.
Commissioned a lieutenant, j g, 
in 1915, he was assigned to the 
USS Sterett and was on board that 
ship during World War I. In 1917 
he was commissioned a full lieu­
tenant.
Then he was transferred to 
the United States to serve as 
assistant inspector of machinery 
at Camps Shipyard in Philadel­
phia.
At sea again in December, 1918, 
he was executive officer in the
Capt. J. W. Gates
USS Lea, a destroyer, which es­
corted the president of France to 
this country. In January, he took 
command of US Naval forces in 
the Eastern Mediterranean, con­
sisting of two Austrian battleships 
and two Austrian destroyers.
He was ordered home to the 
USS Litchfield in July, 1919, 
which was a destroyer fitting out 
at Mare inland. In September of 
that year, he was appointed to 
Admiral Rodman's staff as flag 
secretary, serving jn the USS 
New Mexico.
Captain Gates’ first shore duty
in San Francisco was as District 
Communications super intendent. 
Two years later be was ordered 
to the USS Cincinnati as gunnery 
officer, which became the first 
American ship to go around the 
Horn since 1883.
After two years as navigator 
in the USS Omaha, he became 
Assistant Pacific Communica­
tions superintendent at San 
Francisco. In 1925 he was com­
missioned a lieutenant command­
er.
From 1927 to 1930 he was com­
manding officer in the USS Kid­
der and the USS Roper, and then 
was ordered ashore to be associate 
professor of Naval Science and 
Tactics at the University of Cali­
fornia, Berkeley, where he served 
until 1931. He was commissioned 
a commander in 1930. Then he 
became damage control officer in 
the USS Louisville, where he 
served for two years.
In 1935 he spent a year in the 
Canal zone as District Communi­
cations officer. In 1936 he was 
sent to the Naval Training sta­
tion, San Diego, as Training offi­
cer, where he spent two years. 
He then spent a year as executive 
officer in the USS Portland, af­
ter which he was commanding of­
ficer of the USS Henderson. He 
was made captain in 1938.
Capt Gates is the senoir ranking 
officer in this area.
By Pvt Junius Bleiman
Term I is over for the engineers. At least, it will end officially 
Friday after the final final. On the occasion of this momentous day, 
we have asked Capt Anderson, commanding Cos A A B, to write a brief 
message to the me?. He has kindly consented:
“As we are about to complete our first phase of the Army Special­
ized Training program here at the University, I wish, on behalf of 
all the officers who have worked with you, to extend our sincere ap­
preciation for the fine cooperative spirit you have shown in all your 
work. I am greatly pleased with the high percentage of you who 
will be here to pass on into the succeeding phases.
“We all know that the time has passed only too quickly sinee we 
were assigned to the first ASTP unit, but I am proud to say through 
the efforts of all, we have shown that the program will be a lasting 
success. You men have built up a splendid reputation on the campus, 
and I am certain it will long remain so.
“You have rightfully earned a short period of relaxation between 
terms, which I hope you will use to best advantage, and will return for 
another period of real effort and determination to accomplish that 
which your country has planned for you.”
• • •
Valedictory: Now that the end of the term is at hand, it is perhaps 
only fitting that we should pay tribute to those who contributed the 
most to maintain the high state of morale of the service groups on 
campus—the girls of the U of M.
So to those who gave freely of their smiles and returned shouted 
greetings, to those who helped and participated in the manifold enter­
tainments and opportunities for good times extended all of us—may we 
thank you by saying that no better way for showing a soldier what he 
is fighting for has ever been devised—nor ever will be. So farewell, 
campus coeds, until next term. For though we leave now on well- 
earned furloughs, we’ll be back for more.
