NROTC Magazine Planned Campus Log Armory Promises to Be Packed
As U.-L.AndHoosiersClash~·
Three Big Editions
For Present Term
Editors Announce
Two weeks a.go members of the
Naval unit were astounded when
they rose to the pleas·ing clang of
reveille and spotted a sheet en­titled
"U N arne It" lying on the
deck. In this fashion the NROTC
publications began their, at this
time unbeknownst to the st•aff,
short life.
Appearing bi-weekly, the Roti­scoop
will appear just 23 times
before the men on active status
pack up their duds and "abandon
ship." The parent publ.ication, the
Rotiscope, ·will make three ap­pearances,
the first scheduled for
December 20. T·he latter wiJ.l in­clude
articles, short stories, sports,
cartoons, pictures, and news of
the ROTC unti but to all students
in the campus.
After a suggestion by Execu­tive
CY..J'iccr H. H. Love, Bob Dris­coll,
an energetic lad from L. A.,
recruited "Nick" Robertson, and
the two, together w.ith Lt. Louis
Adolphsen, acting as advisor,
started the ink to flow on a
moruthly magazine. Loaded with
ideas, Robertson inaugurated the
bi-weekly and, journalistically,
things started to buzz.
Staff members for magazine
and b1-weekly were recruited, and
into the fold came; Oarlo Weber,
Dick Johnson, Joe Nix, Rag
Schultz, J . R. Medley, Metro
Strickland, Loren Weiss, Jake
Verbic, Herb Beattie, Keith
Boyer, Paul Haymes, Don Wessel­hoff,
Hank DeBruin, Fred Bailey,
Dan Muhlberger, Addison Brown,
Bob Monks, Jim Schuster, Joe
Ziegler, E. Ramsey Burton, Chuck
Kegel, Glenn York, Jim Cherry,
Dick Turpen, Bob Woodman, Bill
He a ton, and Bill Roberts.
Swbscriptions are being solicit­ed
at present for the magazine.
Price is $1.50, which entitles the
subscr1ber to two issues of the
magazine and the final GIANT
ROTC annual. Civilians who
would like to subscribe to the
magazine are urged to get their
order in today. It is doubtful that
there will be any copies on sale
the 20bh as a limited number are
being printed and already more
than five-hundred subscripti0ns
have been received.
This is the first . time a venture
of this sort has been undertaken
by the trainees. The idea has been
suggested at various times in the
·past but no action has eyer bee.n
taken. A magazine of this sort IS
published at almost ~v~TY Naval
Reserve Officers Trammg Corps
in the country, and the editors at
the U. of L. will strive to make
their "baby" comparable ii not
better than most.
Subscriptions will be taken
from 1 :00 to 1 :30 today in the
Publications office in lower D,
Northwest corner.
Cardinal Band
Breaks Record
For Membership
Whenever a spare moment can
be found (three have been) the
largest band in U. of L. history,
fifty-five members, under the
tutelage of Director Ernest E.
Lyon fill the "barn", Music Schoo0l
Building, and give out with Sousa,
Bach, von Suppe, and Templeton,
as they prepare for pep rallies,
basketball games, and student
concerts.
In the shol't rehearsal ·time,
wonders have been ac-complished
by Mr. Lyon and Mr. Alfred
Peltier, who does much of the
band's alfranging. Each week
e~ffers diJferent problems. At
present several students have re­quested
band membership. Lack
of instruments makes it necessary
for this talent •to remain inactive.
As expansion of facility is men­tioned
on the campus many won­der
when the band will be can­sidered.
A 1break-do·wn of personnel
shows that thirty-four members
wear the Navy blue, thirt•een are
dvili•an fellows, and in a numer­ical
minority -are seven girls.
Twenty-four Speed Engineers are
represented, twenty liberal arts,
and eleven music school students
round out the organization mem­bership.
Ea<:h Tuesday and Thursday,
the thirty-~our. Navy men form a
marching unit that o:fifers class to
drill and inspection. Other com­binations
of members comprise
the Nra.vy Dance Band and rthe
University olfchestra.
A concert is planned for early
'46 and many additional public
appearances of the organization
have been mentioned. Few per­sons
realize the v·alue of a good
college symphomc hand. The
Universities of Michigan, North
Carolina, and Miami (Fla.), to
ll11€ntion a few, have long since
made the realiZ'ation and capital­ized
through it.

Com~ines Barred
In L. A. Elections
There will be a L]be:nal Arts
Student C o u n c i 1 election on
Thursday, Dec. 20. Polls will be
open in the Administration base­ment
from 10 a .m. to 3 p.m. All
candidates, p1us no more than two
campaign managers, must attend
a meeting in Gardiner 102 1at 12:45
Friday to explain the Tules gov­erning
campaigning. (There will
'be three openings in the Council
for two terms and two openings
for one term.) Any candidate fail­ing
to attend the meeting will be
dropped from the ballots. Write­ins
will be allowed. Frart;ernity,
sorocity .and independent affilia­'
tions will not be permissable for
use in campaigning; the idea is
to concentrate on publicizing
merit.
On Wednesday, Dec. 19, at 12:45
there will be a mass meeting of
L. A. students in the Playhouse
in order to give the candidates an
opportunity to make a five min­ute
speech disclosing their plat­
·form and any outstanding quali­ties
they may possess.
This is the Student Councils
first s t e .p toward eliminating
"Combine" conltTolled elections
and is an attempt to give all
voters a chance to vote for a can­didate
according to merit. It now
»ests on the students themselves
100 "get the best man (or woman,
as the case may be) in."
Bonfire PJanned
For Big Pep-Rally
Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1945 (By spe­cial
wire .from the gym.)-After a
meeting this afternoon, U. of L.
"mouthpieces," the publicity boys
announced that another big pep­rally
would be staged. this time
on the Belkn:ap Campus, near the
gymnasium, on Friday, Dec. 14.
The rally will consist of a gi­gantic
bonfire with a snake dance.
This was disclosed lby Gordon
Tyler early this evening, after the
Publicity meeting had adjourned.
"Beat Indiana" will be the
theme, and a huge crowd is ex­pe.
cte'd for the first blaze since last
summer, when Navy boys "put
the flame" to a huge pile of old
trees, o-n the night victory over
J apan was annuonced.
Students Wlho are able, should
try and bring all "burnable" arti­cles
possible. It was assured by all
concerned, that no trouble with
the police will be encountered,
and anyone who had previously
been afraid of "John Law" should
n c.t hesitate to come.
Wednesday, Dec. 12 (By special
•wire from the gym.)-Phil Mul­doon,
gave latest word concerning
the Pep Rally, today, when he
announced that the Mayor has
promised to grant permission for
a parade, if enough students show
interest, and if enough of them
show up. The complications
which arose last week were in­deed
regretable and definite steps
have been taken to make sure
that no such situation arises this
time.
Thursday, December 14 (By
special wire from the gym.)-The
campus is going to be a hot-'box
of open houses and panties tomor­row
night, so there ought to be a
crowd "par excellence" ready and
waiiing around the premises at
ThiTd and Shipp fo0r one big bang­up
time. The local grocers are
complaining 'cause all their cor­rugated
boxes and orange crates
are disappearing like mad.
-YES!!!

Peck's Boys Ready
For Strong Five
Another formidable Big Ten
quintet will furnish the opposi­•
tion for Ccach Bernie Hickman's
Sea Cards tomorrow night a t the
Armory when Coach Harry Good
brings his Indiana Hoosiers to
town. This will be the last oppor­tun1ty
the U. of L. followers will
have to see the Sea Cards in ac­tion
as the host five until after the
Ohrisrtmas holidays.
Indiana is out to make a clean
sweep of the major sports in the
Big Ten. The Hoosiers who won
<the conference title on the grid
iron and now are out for the hard­wood
crown. Coach Good, who
took over the reins at the Bloom­ington
school when Branch Mc­Cracken
weTht into the Navy, is
using the type of fire brand
basketball which is seen so much
in the Big Ten.
Last week a full house of some
6,000 on-lookers yelled themselves
hoarse as the Purdue Boiler­makers
and the Sea Cards put on
a nip and tuck show for the entire
contest in as fast a moving game
as a spectrutor could ask for. If
the Hoosiers come even close to
putting on the show tha•t the Big
Ten representatives displayed last
Saturday not a person in the
house will have a legitima;te com­plaint
to file against the boys.
Coach Good is relying to a
greart extent upon Al Kralovan­sky,
a six foot three inch center,
to supply his main scoring punch.
Last season "Big Al", as his team­maies
call him, led the Hoosiers
in the scoring column with 195
points. This year as a junior, he is
expected to be even better.
Dick Wittenbraker and Bob
Mehl are two service men recent­ly
discharged who have added a
considerable amount of power to
the offensive and defensive play
of Indiana. Wittenbraker may
well be remembered by sports
fans of Louisville for his fine
floor play against U. of K. several
years back when the Hoosiers
hung a ten point defea•t on the
Wildcats Cllt the Armory. Dick
pastimes at a guard post while
Mehl holds down a forward posi
tion.
Another scoring threat the Sea
Cards will attempt to throttle is
JIQhn Wallace. Wallace, playing at
forward, is a definite threat at
any time as the Hoosiers opening
tiLt with Washington University
proved. Fast stepping Wallace
eluded his guards to .flack up sev­en
field goals and a trio of foul
tosses for 17 points.
Jim Powers, Jack Herron, or
Nor~bert Herrmann will probably
get the call to start at the fifth
sport; when the battle starts tomor­row
night. Anyone of these three
is well qualified for a starting
berth as they have proved to the '
coach that they have the ability
to stay with any opponent.
