HANGING  on  the  wall  of  the 
Alumni  Office  is  a  gold-corded, 
gold-tringed  service  flag,  or  banner, 
on  which  are  mounted  gold  stars 
only.  Under  each  star  there  is  em-

whom  the  star  stands  as  a  memorial. 
There  are  now  fourteen  such  stars. 


First  Lieut.  Kennclh  W.Butler 

Seven  of  the  casualties  which  have 
occurred  in  the  ranks  of  Ohioans 
were  reported  in  The  Ohio  Alumnus 
last  spring.  These  misfortunes  brought 
death  to  Lieut.  John  P.  Robbins, 
'41x,  Jackscn:  Lieut.  Robert  D. 
Clark,  ■4IX,  Cleveland;  Lieut.  Ray- 
mond Oliver,  '38,  Byesville;  Lieut. 
Carl  E.  Danner,  Jr.,  "40,  Marion; 
Ensign  Charles  K.  Potter,  ■42x,  Cal- 
verton,  N.  Y.;  Lieut.  John  P.  Burns, 
"41x,  Akron;  and  Lieut.  Byron 
Exelby,  '40,  Cleveland.  All  of 
these  men  were  members  of  the  Army 
Air  Force  with  the  exception  of  En- 
sign Potter. 

Since  the  appearance  of  the  June 
Alumnus  the  reports  of  seven  other 
deaths  have  been  received. 

Aviation  Cadet  Alfred  J.  Jones, 
■42x,  Sharon,  Pa.,  was  killed  in- 
stantly. May  27,  1942,  in  the  crash 
of  a  Navy  airplane  at  the  Naval  Air 
Station,  Jacksonville,  Fla.  Cadet 
Jones,     who     had     completed     three 


years  at  Ohio  University,  was  within 
a  few  weeks  of  the  receipt  of  his 
commission  as  a  flying  officer. 

First  Lieut.  Kenneth  W.  Butler, 
'41x,  Lenox,  Iowa,  was  reported  by 
the  War  Department  to  have  been 
shot  down  over  the  Mediterranean 
Sea  in  the  African  Middle  Eastern 
Theater,  July  9,  1942,  while  piloting 
a  B-24  "Liberator"  bomber.  Fellow 
fliers  were  reported  to  have  seen  his 
blazing  plane  sink,  and  while  the 
official  report  is  "missing  in  action," 
it  is  assumed  that  the  entire  bomber 
crew  was  lost.  The  deceased  was 
a  nephew  of  Lieut.  Ernest  E.  Ray, 
'24,  on  leave  from  his  position  as 
professor  of  accounting  at  Ohio 
University  and  now  in  Army  Air 
Corps  Administration  at  Maxwell 
Field,  Ala. 

An  account  of  the  probable  death 
of  Col.  Frank  B.  Goettge,  20x,  U.  S. 
Marine  Corps,  Kent,  will  be  found 
elsewhere  in  this  issue 

Pvt.  John  Sloan  Davis,  '29x, 
Jackson,  died  Sept.  2,  1942,  at  Camp 
Stonan,  Calif.,  where  he  was  en- 
gaged in  the  Army's  public  relations 
program.  No  details  of  his  death 
have  been  received  by  the  Alumni 
Office.  He  is  credited  with  three 
years  of  work  at  Ohio  University. 

The  report  of  the  death  of  Sgt. 
Wayne  A.  Thomas,  '.36,  R.F.D.  '"l, 
Jerusalem,  Ohio,  was  likewise  lack- 
ing in  details.  Word  received  from 
his  mother  stated  merely  that  he  was 
drowned  at  Herald  Harbor,  Md., 
July  19,  1942.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  a  sergeant  in  the  Army 
Medical  Corps,  assigned  to  the  ')9th 
General  Hospital  at  Fort  Meade,  Md. 
Sergeant  Thomas  was  a  brother  of 
Louis  W.  Thomas,  '?9,  M.S.  '40,  an 
instructor  in  the  high  school  •,,; 
Barnesville. 

The  name  of  a  third  Clevelander 
— others;  Lts.  Clark  and  Exelby — 
was  placed  u;jon  the  Gold  Star 
Roster  when  on  October  9,  1942, 
the  Navy  reported  the  death  "in 
action"  of  Ensign  Stephen  J.  Czar- 
necki,  '40,  somewhere  in  the  Pacific 
war  area.  Ensign  Czarnecki  was  a 
dive  bomber  pilot.  He  had  partici- 
pated in  the  Navy's  Coral  Sea  and 
Midway  engagements  and,  presum- 
ably,   was    in    the    Solomon    Islands 


area  when  death  came  to  him.  The 
communication  from  the  Navy  De- 
partment stated  that  the  flier's  body 
had  been  temporarily  buried  for  the 
duration  of  the  war 

On  the  morning  of  Oct.  17,  1942, 
a  four-motored  Army  bomber  en- 
route  from  Rapid  City,  S.  Dak.,  to 
an  unannounced  destination,  crashed 


Second  Lieut.  Mildred  H.  Van  Horn 

on  a  mountain  peak  near  Des  Moines, 
N.  Mex.,  carrying  to  their  deaths 
eleven  Army  Air  Force  officers  and 
men.  Among  them  was  First  Lieut. 
Lawrence  W.  Hunter,  '40x,  New 
Marshfield,  a  bombardier. 

Still  officially  "missing  in  action" 
after  a  period  of  several  months  are 
Lieut.  Rctlph  R.  Penick,  '39,  Hebron; 
Lieut.  William  T.  Johnston,  '39, 
Cleveland;  Ensign  Lloyd  Thomas, 
'35,  Circle  Hill;  and  Sgt.  James 
Wylie,  "37,  Middleport.  There  is 
hope  that  Penick,  of  the  Marines, 
Johnston,  an  Army  flier,  and  Wylie, 
of  the  Army,  may  still  be  alive,  pri- 
soners of  the  Japs  in  the  Philippines. 
Thomas,  a  Navy  bomber  pilot,  was 
reported  missing  shortly  after  the 
Midway  engagement. 

News  of  a  happier  nature  con- 
cerning Ohioans  in  the  military  and 
naval  service,   follows: 

Mildred  H.  "Van  Horn,  '37x, 
Cleveland,   graduated   from   the   first

The     Ohiii    Alumnus 


Marine  Colonel  and  Former  Hoover 
Aide  Reported  Missing  in  Action 

In  the  face  of  facts  which  ma>' 
warrant  a  more  despairing  behef,  the 
relatives  and  friends  of  Col.  Frank 
B.  Gocttge,  '20x  (see  picture  on 
front  cover),  distinguished  Marino 
Corps  ofl&cer,  still  hope  that  time 
will  bring  a  happier  report  than  the 
official  Navy  Department  w^ord  that 
he  is  '"missing  and  believed  killed  in 
action  on  August  12"  in  a  Pacific 
war  zone. 

Colonel  Goettge,  whose  parents 
reside  near  Kent,  graduated  from 
Kent's  Central  High  School  and  en- 
tered Ohio  University  in  the  Fall  of 
1916,  Under  the  prevailing  wartime 
regulations  he  participated  in  varsity 
athletics  though  but  a  freshman.  He 
left  the  campus  in  1917  to  enlist  in 
the  U.  S.  Marine  Corps  as  a  private. 
After  serving  with  distinction  with 
the  Fifth  Marines  at  the  front  in 
France,  he  v^-as  commissioned  a 
lieutenant. 

Following  the  war  he  served  at 
Quantico,  Va.,  under  Maj.  Gen. 
Smedley  D.  Butler,  and  it  was  while 
at  the  Marine  Base  that  he  gained 
recognition  as  one  of  the  greatest 
football  players  in  American  gridiron 
annals.  After  watching  Goettge  in 
a  fullback  role  for  the  Marines  again- 
st a  strong  Navy  team  early  in  the 
1920's,  Walter  Camp,  late  dean  of 
football  experts,  wrote:  "Today  I 
saw  a  football  player  who,  for  today 
at  least,  was  greater  than  Jim  Thorpe. 
His  name  is  Goettge.  He's  a 
Marine." 

In  1929,  the  former  Ohioan  was 
made  a  captain  while  serving  in 
China.  Later  he  returned  to  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  where  he  was  ad- 
vanced to  the  rank  of  major  and  was 
assigned  as  an  aide  to  President 
Herbert  Hoover  and  Maj.  Gen. 
Wendell  Neville,  commandant  of  the 
Marine  Corps.  He  was  one  of  the 
hosts  to  Ohio  University's  football 
team  in  19.^2  when  the  Bobcats 
visited  the  capital  enroute  to  Anna- 
polis for  a  game  with  the  Navy 
(which  the  Bobcats  won,  incidentally, 
14-0).  After  posing  with  the  Ohio 
grid  squad  for  a  picture  outside  the 
Executive  Offices,  President  Hoover 
asked  Colonel  Goettge  to  personally 
escort  the  Bobcats  on  a  tour  of  the 
White  House. 

The  only  available  picture  of 
Colonel  Goettge,  which  was  used 
for  making  the  cover  cut,  was  taken 
shortly  after  his  return  from  China. 


Tw^o  years  ago  the  missing  Marine 
was  promoted  to  lieutenant  colonel. 
His  advancement  to  the  rank  of 
colonel  was  so  recent  that  it  is 
thought  possible  that  word  of  his 
elevation  may  not  have  reached  him 
before  his  last  recorded  action. 

Besides  his  parents,  those  who 
anxiously  await  further  word  con- 
cerning the  fate  of  Colonel  Goettge, 
include  a  wife,  sister,  and  three 
brothers. 

New  Type  Membership  Established 

For  Benefit  of  Alumni  in  Service 

Upon  the  unanimous  vote  of  the 
officers  and  executive  committeemen 
of  the  Ohio  University  Alumni 
Association  a  special,  temporary 
type  of  association  membership,  to  be 
known  as  a  Service  Membership, 
has  been  created.  The  annual  fee 
for  the  new  membership  is  $1.00, 
and  only  Ohio  University  alumni 
(graduates  or  former  students)  serv- 
ing in  the  Army,  Navy,  Marine 
Corps,  and  Coast  Guard,  or  their 
auxiliary'  branches,  are  eligible  for 
It.  The  service  membership,  hke  the 
regular  type,  includes  a  subscription 
to  The  Ohio  Alumnus. 

The  memberships  make  excellent 
gifts  for  service  men  who  will  wel- 
come The  Alumnus  as  a  source  of 
news  concerning  their  alma  mater, 
their  friends  in  civilian  activities,  and 
their  comrade  in  arms.  Already  197 
such  memberships  have  been  taken 
out,  many  of  them  by  parents  in  be- 
half of  sons  in  service.

undergraduates  going  to  war  hut 
faeulty  members  in  rapidly  increas- 
ing numbers  also  are  leaving  campus 
classnxims  to  don  the  Army's  khaki 
or  the  Navy's  blue.  Still  others  are 
entering  government  service  in  civil- 
ian capacities.  While  in  most  cases 
leaves  of  absence  have  been  sought 
and  granted,  a  few  of  the  faculty 
men  have  resigned  their  positions 
with  no  thought  of  returning  to 
them. 

Included    among    those    who    have

Homecoming  a  Successful  Occasion 

A  largerthan-expected  crowd  ot 
alumni — mostly  from  the  vounger 
classes — was  on  hand  to  help  cele- 
brate the  1942  Homecoming  occasion, 
October  24.  The  weather  was  ideal, 
the  war-modified  program  was  en- 
tirely satisfactory,  and  the  outcome 
of  the  day's  feature — a  gridiron  con- 
test with  a  traditional  rival  (see  page 
9) — was  much  to  the  liking  of 
Ohioans. 

A  more  detailed  account  of  Home- 
coming activities  will  appear  in  the

III  Health  Forces  Retirement  of 

Miss  Kahler  from  English  Staff 

111  health,  .itlcr  .^  1  yens  <A  teach- 
ing in  Ohio  University  classrooms, 
forced  the  retirement  this  fall  cf 
Miss  Mary  Engle  Kahler,  "02,  asso- 
ciate professor  of  English. 

Miss  Kahler  joined  the  local 
faculty  in  1911  after  several  years 
of  teaching  in  the  Athens  city 
schools;  in  high  schools  in  Ro£s, 
Miami,  and  Montgomery  counties; 
and  at  Marshall  College,  Hunting- 
ton. W.  Va. 

In  replying  to  her  letter  of  resigna- 
tion. Dean  W.  S.  Gamertsfelder 
wrote,  in  part,  as  follows. 

"On  behalf  of  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences  and  for  myself,  person- 
ally, I  should  like  to  express  appre- 
ciation for  your  many  years  of  faith- 
ful and  efficient  teaching  .  .  .  The 
memories  of  the  years  of  association 
with  faculty  and  students  on  the 
campus,  will,  no  doubt,  linger  as  an 
abiding  joy  and  satisfaction.  The 
students  whom  you  have  instructed 
in  English  wuli  feel  a  lasting  debt  of 
gratitude    for   your   helpful    service." 

Miss  Kahler  will  continue  to  live 
in  Athens  and  will  indulge  her  in- 
terest in  travel  as  her  health  and 
wartime   restrictions   permit. 

Official  Roster  of  Men  and  Women 
In  Armed  Forces  Is  Being  Compiled 
At  the  request  of  President  James 
and  the  War  Activities  Committee 
of  the  University  the  Alumni  Secre- 
tary has  assumed  respon.sibility  for 
compiling  and  maintaining  an  "Offi- 
cial Roster  of  Ohio  University  Men 
and  Women  in  Military  and  Naval 
Service.  " 

Since  the  honor  roll  is  to  include 
the  names  ot  former  students  as  well 
as  graduates,  the  task  of  securing 
names  and  pertinent  data  is  a  tre- 
mendous one,  and  one  which  will 
call  for  cooperation  from  a  great 
many  persons  if  it  is  to  be  satisfac- 
tonly  accomplished. 

All  readers  of  The  Ohio  Aliimiiu5. 
therefore,  arc  called  upon  to  report 
to  the  Alumni  Secretary,  second 
floor,  Wilson  Hall,  or  P.  O.  Box 
28>,  Athens,  Ohio,  the  names  of 
Ohioans  whom  thev  know  to  be  ser- 
ving in  the  country's  armed  and 
auxiliary  forces. 

Send  the  names  of  all  service  men 
and  women  that  you  know,  even 
though  the  names  may  possibly  be 
reported  by  other  persons.  At  the 
present  time  there  are  approximately 
1.000  names  on  the  roster. 


The     Ohio    Alumnus 


On  and  About  the  Campus 


THE  TWO  Spanish  -  American 
War  cannon  (see  picture)  and 
the  two  pyramidic  piles  of  cannon 
balls  that  stood  near  them  on  the 
northwest  comer  of  the  campus  for 
more  than  35  years  have  gone  to 
serve  their  country  again,  via  the 
scrap  metal  conversion  route.  The 
proceeds  of  the  sale,  $120.41,  were 
given  by  the  university  treasurer, 
George  C.  Parks,  '08,  to  the  U.S.O. 

WILSON  AND  McGuffey 
Halls,  second  and  third  oldest 
buildings,  respectively,  on  the  cam- 
pus, present  a  new  and  greatly  im- 
proved appearance  to  students  and 
visitors  these  days.  During  the  past 
summer  workmen  removed  the  ac- 
cumulated applications  of  gray 
paint  from  the  exterior  walls  leav- 
ing the  original  hand-made  brick 
as  they  looked  nearly  a  century  and 
a  quarter  ago.  To  further  the  res- 
toration, colonial-style  doors  and 
small-paned  windows  were  installed. 

AMONG    THE    many    war-in- 
spired     courses      now      being 
offered  at  Ohio  University  are  Ele- 
ments of  Navigation,  Meteorology, 
Military  Law  and  Defense  Legisla- 
tion,   Group    and    National    Morale, 
Military     Psychology     and     Morale, 
Explosives,  Administration  of  Person- 
nel,   Readings    in    Military    German, 
War  Policies  and  Problems,  Issues  of 
the    Present    War,    War   and    Social 
Change,    and    Propaganda.      Dozens 
of  other  courses  have  been  re-pointed 
to  add  to  their  value  as  background 
for  military  service.     A  physical  fit- 
ness course  must  be  taken  by  every 
student  each  semester  "for  the  dura- 
tion." A  course  in  radio  fundamen- 
tals   is    offered    free    to    high    school 
graduates  who  have  had  high  school 
mathematics  and  physics. 

GERMAN  PROPAGANDA  films 
confiscated  by  the  U.  S.  War 
Department  were  shown  to  university 
audiences  early  this  month  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Division  of  Military' 
Science  and  Tactics.  The  films 
were  pictures  of  the  German  war 
machine  which  were  used  to  instill 
fear  in  the  minds  of  persons  whose 
countries  were  about  to  be  attacked 
or  intimidated.  The  Polish  campaign 
and    the    early    German   victories   in 


the  West  were  subjects  of  two  of  the 
films. 

THE  PURCHASE  and  develop- 
ment of  a  permanent  state- 
owned  airport  for  Ohio  University 
was  authorized  on  Oct.  2  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  Approval  of  the 
State  Board  of  Control  for  a  trans- 
fer of  funds  appropriated  for  build- 
ing purposes  to  the  airport  develop- 
ment project  is  being  sought.  Con- 
templated in  the  new  plans  is  the 
purchase  of  the  present  airport,  Row-

with  buildings,  equipment,  and  addi- 
tional acreage  to  provide  a  landing 
area  4,03  5  feet  long  and  1,030  feet 
wide.  The  funds  which  are  desired 
for  the  proposed  purchase  were  ori- 
ginally appropriated  for  new  con- 
struction at  Ohio  University  but  the 
money  cannot  now  be  used  because 
of  war  restrictions  on  building  mater- 
ials. 

DEAN  WILLIAM  M.  Young,  of 
the  College  of  Applied  Science 
■and  coordinator  of  the  Civilian 
Pilot  Training  program  at  Ohio  Uni- 
versity, has  received  a  private  pilot's 
license  following  test  flights  made 
this  fall.  Dean  Young  is  one  of  the 
few  CPT  coordinators  in  the  country 
possessing  a  pilot's  rating.  Aviation 
training  at  Ohio  University  is  now 
on  a  full-time  military  basis.  Parti- 
cipants must  enlist  in  either  the  Army 
or  Navy  and  be  assigned  to  the  pre- 
liminary flight  training  and  ground 
school  course  which  the  University 
offers.  After  eight  weeks  the  CPT 
trainees  go  to  one  of  the  service 
schools  for  further  instruction. 


THE  COMMUNITY  Concert 
Series,  for  which  students  are 
granted  a  special  season  rate  of  $1.00, 
will  bring  to  Memorial  Auditorium, 
Leonard  Warren,  Metropolitan  bari- 
tone, Nov.  4;  a  streamlined  version  of 
the  opera,  "The  Marnage  of  Figaro," 
Feb.  2,  1943;  and  the  Cincinnati 
Symphony  Orchestra,  April  7.  A 
fourth   number  may  be  added  later. 

MEMBERS     OF     a      Recruiting 
Board,    made   up   of   represen- 
tatives of  the  Army,   Navy,  Marine 
Corps,   and   Coast   Guard,  will   ad- 
I     dress  a  student  convocation  in  Mem- 
'     orial    Auditorium    on    Nov.    1 1    to 
explain     the     nature    and     require- 
ments  of   their   respective   reserves. 
They  will  remain  over  the  next  day 
to    answer   the    questions   of    inter- 
ested persons.      Returning  on  Dec. 
4  and  5   the  Recruiting  Board  will 
formally  enlist  any  student  who  has 
decided  to  enter  one  of  the  reserve 
corps. 

BELIEVE  IT  or  not,  for  the  first 
time  in,  oh,  many  moons,  the 
staff  members  in  the  offices  of  the 
dean  of  men  and  the  dean  of  wo- 
men who  assist  students  in  finding 
work  opportunities  have  more  jobs  on 
their  books  than  takers.  For  the  first 
time,  according  to  Miss  Louise  Field, 
it  has  been  necessary  to  seek  girls 
for  dormitory  work.  Assistant  Dean 
of  Men  Harley  Smith  reports  that 
some  of  the  N.Y.A.  jobs  open  to 
men  have  not  been  applied  for. 

PARIS-BORN  and  a  war  refugee, 
Michel  Etlm  is  a  freshman  at 
Ohio  University  this  fall.  When  the 
Nazis  occupied  the  French  capital, 
Michel  and  his  family  fled  to  an 
ancestral  castle  in  Bayonne.  Enroute 
he  saw  brutal  German  machine-gun- 
ners mow  down  long  rows  of  horror- 
stricken  refugees  and  saw  enemy 
tanks  driven  over  the  dead  and  sleep- 
ing bodies  of  his  countrymen.  His 
escape  to  America  was  by  way  of 
South  Africa  and  Cuba.  Regarding 
the  absence  of  hardships  in  this 
country,  when  interviewed  recently 
concerning  plans  for  the  future,  he 
said,  "For  me  to  stay  here  and 
dance  and  see  football  games  is 
wrong.  Soon  I  will  join  my  father 
and  brother  in  England  where  they 
are  helping  to  win  the  war."

AN  ENROLLMENT  of  775 
cadets  in  the  Reserve  Officers' 
Traininij  Corps  unit  at  Ohio  Univer-

the  corresponding  semester  last  year. 
In  speakinsj  of  the  growth  of  the  mili 
tary  department,  Colonel  Churchill 
explained,  "It  is  logical  and  to  he 
expected  because  of  the  benefits  to 
be  derived  from  such  training  when 
eventually  these  men  enter  the  mili- 
tary service.  Dunng  the  past  sum- 
mer the  military  department  has  re- 
ceived letters  from  former  ROTC 
men  who  speak  strongly  of  the  ad- 
vantages that  the  Corps  has  afforded 
them  since  entering  the  military  ser- 
vice, especially  those  men  in  officer 
training  camps."  The  War  Depart- 
ment has  authorized  an  incrci^^c  in 
the  quota  for  advanced 
course  students  from  last 
year's  iO  to  97.  The  in- 
structional staff  in  the  Di 
vision  of  Military  Science 
and  Tactics  now  consists  ot 
Col.  James  M.  Churchill; 
Lt.  Col.  James  B.  Golden;

SECRETARY  OF  War  Stimson's 
late  fall  announcement  that  men 
in  the  Army  Enlisted  Reserve,  Un- 
assigned,  would  likely  be  called  to 
the  colors  as  soon  as  they  reached 
the  age  of  twenty  regardless  of  the 
state  of  progress  in  their  academic 
careers,  served  to  upset  a  great  many 
students  at  Ohio  University  as  it 
doubtless  did  at  other  schools  where 
the  reserve  enlistments  were  being 
made.  Upon  the  passage  of  the  pro- 
posed draft  law  for  18  and  19-year- 
olds,  a  new  induction  policy  may  be 
announced,  although  it  is  likely  no 
student  will  be  permitted  to  remain 
in  school  long  enough  to  complete  a 
degree  course  unless  he  is  well  em- 
barked upon  it,  and  then  only  if  it 
is  one  of  a  select  number  of  technical 


and  professional  courses.  There  are 
.iH2  men  enrolled  in  the  Army  En- 
listed Reserves  at  Ohio  University.

medical  schools  carry  with  them  a 
better  preparation  and  background 
for  first-year  work  in  medicine  than 
most  of  their  fellow  students  is 
proved  by  the  record.  The  Associa- 
tion of  American  Medical  Colleges 
reports  that,  over  a  nine-year  period, 
only  6%  of  first-year  medical  stu- 
dents from  Ohio  University  failed. 
The  average  failure  for  first-year 
students  from  Ohio  colleges  generally 
was  IJ'^f.  Ohio  U.  had  the  best 
record  of  any  of  the  state-supported 
institutions  in  Ohio,  while  only  two 
colleges  in  the  state  had  a  better 
record  than  Ohio  University's.  Both 
of  these  colleges  have  a  highly 
selected  student  body  and  send  rela- 
tively few  students  to  medical  col- 
leges.

The     Ohio    Alumnus 


Resistration  Figure  Exceeds  Expectations;  Few 
Staff  Replacements  and  Additions  Necessary 


OHIO  UNIVERSITY,  like  a 
great  many  other  educational  in- 
stitutions in  the  state  and  nation,  was 
agreeably  surprised  to  find,  after  re- 
gistration formalities  had  been  com- 
pleted this  fall,  that  there  were  more 
students  on  hand  than  had  been 
anticipated  through  the  summer 
months.  Whether  the  school  author- 
ities will  he  as  happily  surprised 
when  the  second  semester  returns 
are  in  early  next  spring  is  something 
else  again;  something  which  time  and 
circumstances  beyond  local  control 
will  determine. 

One  year  ago  Registrar  Dilley  was 
able  to  announce  the  presence  of 
3,133  students  on  the  campus.  Dur- 
ing the  second  semester  of  1941-42 
this  number  fell  to  2,830,  a  shrinkage 
of  303. 

The  enrollment  for  the  current 
year,  first  semester,  is  2,753,  a  de- 
crease of  only  77  students  since  the 
closing  semester  of  last  year  and  only 
380  since  the  opening  of  last  year. 
Predictions  for  this  year  had  involved 
figures  as  low  as  2,200.  The  men, 
as  usual  in  recent  years,  outnumber 
the  women,  1,568  to  1,185. 

A  number  of  leaves  of  absence 
have  been  granted  to  faculty  mem- 
bers for  military  and  government 
service.  In  many  instances  the  ser- 
vices have  been  voluntarily  offered 
while  in  other  cases  they  have  been 
claimed  by  Uncle  Sam  through  the 
familiar  workings  of  the  Selective 
Service  Act.  The  names  of  faculty 
men  who  have  left  the  campus  in 
recent  months  will  be  found  else- 
where in  this  issue. 

Because  qualified  substitutes  are 
sometimes  difficult  to  find  and  be- 
cause, in  some  cases,  current  and 
prospective  decreases  in  enrollment 
make  replacements  unnecessary,  fac- 
ulty men  and  women  engaging  in 
war  service  are  being  replaced  only 
when  a  re-distribution  of  the  teach- 
ing load  within  an  affected  depart- 
ment results  in  a  serious  overloading 
of  staff  members.  It  is  a  matter  of 
university  policy,  in  so  far  as  possible, 
to  preserve  faculty  positions  for 
those  who  vacate  them  to  render  war 
service. 

No  replacements  or  additions  of 
persons    of    major    rank    have    been 


necessary,  the  list  of  newcomers  to 
the  teaching  staff  including  an  as- 
sistant professor,  seven  instructors, 
one  part-time  instructor,  and  two 
visiting  lecturers.

Peden's  '^Not  So  Bad''  Prediction  Supported 
By  Grid  Record  at  Season's  Half- Way  Mark 


BECAUSE  THE  year's  residence  stipulation  was  re 
moved  from  the  eligihility  rules  for  the  duration. 
Coach  Don  Peden  was  greeted  this  fall  by  the  largest 
opening-day  squad  of  varsity  gridiron  candidates  in  his 
experience — 31   former  varsity  men  and  40  freshmen. 

At  the  end  of  the  first  week  of  practice  the  Bobcat 
mentor  broke  down  and  admitted  that  maybe  his  team 
"wouldn't  be  so  had"  this  year.  Such  an  un-Peden-like 
statement,  almost  the  "ultra"  in  optimism  for  him,  was 
immediately  hailed  by  the  fans  as  a  tip-otf  on  a  successful 
season.  Then  the  Ohio  coach  became  his  cautious,  canny 
self  again  by  pointing  out  that  he  had  but  four  out.stand- 
ing  veterans  in  his  squad  and 
that  "you  can't  win  games  with 
four  players." 

At  the  present  time,  how- 
ever, Oct.  26,  the  season  i.^; 
half  over,  and  we'll  let  the 
record  speak  for  itself.  Four 
games  have  been  played  and 
three  victories  chalked  up. 
The  loss,  while  it  was  undeni- 
ably that,  came  about  in  one  of 
those  games  in  which  the 
slightest  shift  in  the  breaks  of 
the  fray  could  easily  have  al 
tered  the  outcome. 

The  1942  season  was 
opened,  in  Ohio  Stadium,  Oct. 
3,  with  Akron  as  the  opponent. 
John  Fekete,  Findlay,  in  the 
tailback     position,     paced     the 

Bobcats  as  they  gave  the  "Zippers"  a  sound  .19-0  lacing 
to  help  make  up  for  the  scoreless  tie  of  last  year. 

Bobby  Johnson,  Waverly,  diminutive  wingback, 
and  Bill  Hemz  (who's  jersey  number  is  i7),  Cincinnati, 
veteran  fullback,  shared  scoring  honors  with  Fekete.  A 
freshman  newcomer  to  the  backticld.  John  Siakacsi 
Fairport  Harbor,  showed  promise  as  an  understudy  to  the 
fleet  Fekete,  while  Gerald  Ramsey,  Athens  wingback 
and  letterman,  was  another  fellow  who  proved  handy 
on  occasions. 

On  the  line,  the  veterans  Carl  Jamison,  Ada.  guard. 
Joe  Riccardi.  Sandusky,  tackle,  and  Bill  Ditrich,  Euclid, 
and  "Zip"  Zednik,  Cleveland,  ends,  all  lettermen  except 
Zednik,  were  Line  Coach  Trautwein's  most  seasoned  per- 
formers. 

On  October  10,  the  Bobcats  defeated  a  burly  Butler 
team  from  Indianapolis,  6-0.  The  statistics  of  the  game 
was  heavily  in  favor  of  the  Ohioans,  even  though  the 
scoreboard  story  seems  to  belie  the  fact.  Two  of  the 
Bobcats'  three  touchdowns  were  nullified  by  penalties, 
while  on  another  occasion  the  Pedenmen  were  held  for 
downs  on  the  three-yard  line. 

Fekete,  who  made  the  tally  that  counted,  was  perhaps 
the  defensive  as  well  as  the  offensive  bright  light  for 
Ohio.  However,  the  fact  that  the  Butler  Bulldogs  gained 
only  18  yards  from  rushing  and  nary  ,i  first  down  in  the 


first  half,  indicates  that  the  Green  and  White  line  play 
was  generally  above  reproach. 

On  paper,  the  26-7  defeat  which  the  Bobcats  sus- 
tained at  the  hands  of  a  fighting  Cincinnati  Bearcat  team 
in  the  Queen  City,  in  a  night  game,  October  17,  was  the 
worst  reversal  in  six  years  for  a  Peden-coached  team. 
As  intimated  in  an  earlier  paragraph,  however,  it  was 
close  to  anybody's  ball  game  throughout.  A  feat  rarely 
accomplished  in  modern  football  history  at  Ohio  U.,  the 
outcharging  of  a  Bobcat  line,  had  more  than  a  little  to 
do  with  the  outcome  of  the  game.  There  was  no  after- 
game wailmg  in  the  Bobcat  locker-room,  withal;  only  a 
grim  determination  to  avenge 
the  licking  at  the  next  meeting. 
The  Bobcats  came  back 
the  next  Saturday,  October  24, 
to  win  their  Mth  consecutive 
Homecoming  game,  an  en- 
counter with  the  Ohio  Wesley- 
an  Bishops,  by  a  score  of  26 
to   14. 

Big  John  Fekete  was  re- 
sponsible for  three  of  Ohio's 
four  touchdowns  and  staged  the 
niftiest  ball-toting  performance 
that  Bobcat  fans  have  been  pri- 
vileged to  witness  in  many  a 
year.  In  fact,  the  team's  show- 
ing as  a  whole  was  such  as 
would  satisfy  the  most  exacting 
coach  or  delight  a  victory-eager 
homecoming  crowd  anywhere. 
The  Bishops,  dangerous  throughout  the  entire  60  minutes 
of  play,  didn't  have  a  match  for  Ohio's  backiicid  ace  in 
their  line-up,  and  that  was  their  margin  of  defeat. 

George  Mills.  Wad^worth  freshman,  the  first  colored 
boy  on  a  varsity  grid  squad  for  many  years,  and  Louie 
Venditti,  Middlebranch  junior,  serving  as  replacements 
for  the  line-smashing  Hein:,  have  lightened  coaching 
worries  during  an  absence  of  the  Cincinnati  fullback  from 
active  duty  due  to  an  injury. 

During  the  remainder  of  the  season  the  Bobcats  will 
meet  Miami.  Oct.  :■>{,  at  Oxford:  Western  Reser\'e.  Fri- 
day night,  Nov.  6,  in  Cleveland:  Xavier  in  a  Dad's  Day 
game,  Nov.  14,  in  Athens:  and  Dayton  in  a  Thanks- 
giving Day  game,  Nov.  26,  on  the  Fliers'  home  field. 

JOHN  FEKETE,  Ohio's  stellar  halfback,  is  a  brother 
of  Ohio  State  University's  sensational  sophomore  full- 
back. Gene  Fekete.  Gene  now  leads  the  Western  Con- 
ference in  points  scored,  and  is  one  of  the  top-ranking 
point  producers  in  the  nation.  John,  on  the  other  hand, 
is  certain  to  win  state-wide  recognition  for  his  ball  lug- 
ging ability  and  will  add  no  mean  measure  of  lustre  to 
the  name  of  Fekete.  In  the  Wesleyan  game  John  carried 
the  ball  27  times  for  a  total  of  279  yards,  or  an  average 
of  better  than  10  yards  per  tr>':  he  made  three  touch- 
downs on  runs  of  6,  42,  and  .34  yards  in  length;  com- 
pleted two  out  of  three  passes  attempted;  and  made  1  ^ 
tackles  from  his  defensive  halfback  position.

Frank  H.  Palmer,  '12,  and  Mrs. 
Palmer,  Columbus,  had  as  a  mid-summer 
visitor  a  friend,  William  Ray,  a  32-year- 
old  sailor  in  the  British  Merchant  Marine, 
whose  immediate  reason  for  a  visit  to 
the  United  States  was  the  torpedoing  of 
his  ship  somewhere  in  the  Atlantic.  A 
veteran  of  twelve  years  on  the  high  seas. 
Sailor  Ray  was  in  Ceylon  when  the  Jap 
bombers  selected  his  vessel  for  target

vernacular  he  stated  that  he  was  going 
strong.  Knowing  the  track  record  made 
by  Kerr  during  his  college  days  that  could 
mean  a  lot.  Alec  is  a  former  European

Two  Ohio  University  men  were  prize 
winners  in  the  $200,000  Progress  Award 
Program  of  the  James  F.  Lincoln  Arc 
Welding  Foundation.  Prizes  were  offered 
in  scores  of  divisions  and  industrial  classi- 
fications and  were  won  by  leading  indus- 
trial and  army  engineers.  The  Ohioans 
received  $100  each  for  papers  describing 
arc  welding  methods  in  their  plants.  They
