Nov~ Uni+ of',·r,~
( continued from pnge two)
that cannot be measured, responsibilities
if necessary greatei: than life itself.
:ow, f·;entlemen, Vlf:l all ar_e anxious to get
: nto combat, to get 8.t the very throat of
o •r treacherous ar..d tricky en~my, but as
?OU krww that is impossible.
The rep,ltation of our fighting Navy
is bey0ncl reproach and still going up,
i_f that j_s possible, but it is we men
'.Jo.ck at the home bases who need to check
·rr on ourselves • . We must remember that
" ~John Q~ Public 11 is a fickle person a;nd
::elieve s what he sees with his o,w1 eyes,
r~-J-.;,er than ,something that he reads is· tsk:Lng place thousa_:nds of miles_ away.
You student ·offic_ers at this school ?,re
the sole basis, on w"hj_ch our whole Navy
is jud~ed by the people of Bloomsburg.
P1:3rhaps we should take stock and
se e ourselves through the eyes of the
d. 1;ar store man, the garage man, the
local females~ the college professor
and the rest 0,f the tovvnspe ople. There
are the Robert Taylor· advocates and you
know what I mean: ce.ps at the Hollywood angle 11 to ·show lonp; wavy hair;"
,, once ~1i te scarf ( aho~t ten feet
·mg) wr~pped about the neck in boa
: .'l1s tricto:t fashion, ·and the coat col: ar turned up even though the -vfin9 s are
·G calmed and nary a snow flake pr~s~nt.
f 1J:i.s musical comedy attire is usually
topped off by a slir:;ht "will-o 1 -the·wisp" smudge under the nose supposed to
be a mustache, and a rain cover on the
cap even though we be having a dro'...lght.
Then we have the model connnonly,
known as the 11 Corridor Cellini Handsqueezing" t-y1le whose shield bears the
ancient crest, 11 A loaf of Bread, a Jug
of Wine and Thou •.",· This character is
commonly seen in the halls of the school
holding the entwined fingers of some
comely lass, and making sheep eyes fl.~
her, the loose hand usually shbved1.1:p
to the hilt in the trouser pocket.· Or
pe rhaps he is leanine~ against·· the ,bulkhead, feet crossed, displaying a pair
of mllddv shoes, and allthis time
chewin11:' gum or munching on
candy bar.
The.n we get to the "Just Let ,Me Fly"
order of office_r who lmows nothing of
Nava l tradition and customs, or even when
he does know can't see why the Navy does
such crazy stui'f, whose pet expression is ,,
"That ain't the way we did _i t back home. 11
Eis cap is usually at a fancy tilt.i (pro·c,alJ ly no wire in it) a button or two
nnbu ttoned, socks sl<"pping over the tbps
of his shoes, a spotted necktie, and i
cip.;a rette dropping over a pouting lip, ',
'"':;> wi 11 spend his money on hair tonic;
d"tershave lotion, mouth vvash,: and .
t ~'..lth paste, and yet wear a shirt unti.l it will stand alone. Salutes are
kid stuff and his vocabulary consists
chiefly of the pool room lingo such as
11 0.K., 11 "Hiya, 11 and that
11 a ll right, 11
p0ramount of all expressions, 11 0ky Doky."
But perhaps the most prominent
a
aboard our_ ship is the 11 Sea Lavvyer 11 vari@\'ty of fellovv -who gets 4·.o· in _all indoctr:i,nation tests; the man who lmows
a man in vfashingtoh; the man who can
answer all the questions of his shipmates; the man who is a ".Naval Hypocrites.11 His knowledge is all spent in
Sunday Manners~ His Navy life is puriJ ~,
theoretical and actual practices of th~
11 Customs and Tradi tionsn are all done_
.
vnth a pencil and little. with acts, ·
thought; or deeds.
·
Gentlemen, I have rambled on and
perhaps strayed a little ·fro'm the military side, but i t is perhaps the only
way to approach the subject. , "The Uniform of the un·i ted' :states Navy11 is a
serious subject~ but as some of you wear
it, and act while wearing it, the uniform is liable to become ordinary, and
it would be difficult to speak other
than ordinary to the ordinary person.
The wearing of the u:rh form a.ncl th0
military bearing. of our Cqmpany will
improve, .. :but as I sit here with one hr:r''
on the restricted liberty list and t he
other pn the ·11 John Pat1.l Jones' 11 letter,
I will -6~mplete this little· rambling
with a quotation from that written abo ,t
1775 but still 0.pplicr-:ble to our ce.se :11Whilst the shi..rs sent forth by the Congre'Ss may m1d' mvs-1-;. fight for the princ:i.pl o of [[Ul!!/'I ~\ rights and republican
fr Ped om, tho s:1.ips. themselves must be
ruled and commcmded at sea by an absolute despotism. 11
~------------~ ---------QUESTION BOX

i:mm.,idiQ.i;ely upon coming aboard, fn,lls
back into the ocean?
,2. What is a

3. ·what is the Politician's vratch?
4. If you were standing a watch as bovr
lookout at night and sighted run-
ning lights approaching dead ahead
above the horizon and appearin r; red
--:to PORT and green to STARBOARD-wf1a t would it be?
5. Row do enlisted men sign checks on
shore in China?
6. V1hat will an Officer of the Deck
say if you ask him for permission to
GQ ASHORE?
7. Who arc ,the two best men to 11 get on

Nov~ Uni+ of',·r,~
( continued from pnge two)
that cannot be measured, responsibilities
if necessary greatei: than life itself.
:ow, f·;entlemen, Vlf:l all ar_e anxious to get
: nto combat, to get 8.t the very throat of
o •r treacherous ar..d tricky en~my, but as
?OU krww that is impossible.
The rep,ltation of our fighting Navy
is bey0ncl reproach and still going up,
i_f that j_s possible, but it is we men
'.Jo.ck at the home bases who need to check
·rr on ourselves • . We must remember that
" ~John Q~ Public 11 is a fickle person a;nd
::elieve s what he sees with his o,w1 eyes,
r~-J-.;,er than ,something that he reads is· tsk:Lng place thousa_:nds of miles_ away.
You student ·offic_ers at this school ?,re
the sole basis, on w"hj_ch our whole Navy
is jud~ed by the people of Bloomsburg.
P1:3rhaps we should take stock and
se e ourselves through the eyes of the
d. 1;ar store man, the garage man, the
local females~ the college professor
and the rest 0,f the tovvnspe ople. There
are the Robert Taylor· advocates and you
know what I mean: ce.ps at the Hollywood angle 11 to ·show lonp; wavy hair;"
,, once ~1i te scarf ( aho~t ten feet
·mg) wr~pped about the neck in boa
: .'l1s tricto:t fashion, ·and the coat col: ar turned up even though the -vfin9 s are
·G calmed and nary a snow flake pr~s~nt.
f 1J:i.s musical comedy attire is usually
topped off by a slir:;ht "will-o 1 -the·wisp" smudge under the nose supposed to
be a mustache, and a rain cover on the
cap even though we be having a dro'...lght.
Then we have the model connnonly,
known as the 11 Corridor Cellini Handsqueezing" t-y1le whose shield bears the
ancient crest, 11 A loaf of Bread, a Jug
of Wine and Thou •.",· This character is
commonly seen in the halls of the school
holding the entwined fingers of some
comely lass, and making sheep eyes fl.~
her, the loose hand usually shbved1.1:p
to the hilt in the trouser pocket.· Or
pe rhaps he is leanine~ against·· the ,bulkhead, feet crossed, displaying a pair
of mllddv shoes, and allthis time
chewin11:' gum or munching on
candy bar.
The.n we get to the "Just Let ,Me Fly"
order of office_r who lmows nothing of
Nava l tradition and customs, or even when
he does know can't see why the Navy does
such crazy stui'f, whose pet expression is ,,
"That ain't the way we did _i t back home. 11
Eis cap is usually at a fancy tilt.i (pro·c,alJ ly no wire in it) a button or two
nnbu ttoned, socks sl<"pping over the tbps
of his shoes, a spotted necktie, and i
cip.;a rette dropping over a pouting lip, ',
'"':;> wi 11 spend his money on hair tonic;
d"tershave lotion, mouth vvash,: and .
t ~'..lth paste, and yet wear a shirt unti.l it will stand alone. Salutes are
kid stuff and his vocabulary consists
chiefly of the pool room lingo such as
11 0.K., 11 "Hiya, 11 and that
11 a ll right, 11
p0ramount of all expressions, 11 0ky Doky."
But perhaps the most prominent
a
aboard our_ ship is the 11 Sea Lavvyer 11 vari@\'ty of fellovv -who gets 4·.o· in _all indoctr:i,nation tests; the man who lmows
a man in vfashingtoh; the man who can
answer all the questions of his shipmates; the man who is a ".Naval Hypocrites.11 His knowledge is all spent in
Sunday Manners~ His Navy life is puriJ ~,
theoretical and actual practices of th~
11 Customs and Tradi tionsn are all done_
.
vnth a pencil and little. with acts, ·
thought; or deeds.
·
Gentlemen, I have rambled on and
perhaps strayed a little ·fro'm the military side, but i t is perhaps the only
way to approach the subject. , "The Uniform of the un·i ted' :states Navy11 is a
serious subject~ but as some of you wear
it, and act while wearing it, the uniform is liable to become ordinary, and
it would be difficult to speak other
than ordinary to the ordinary person.
The wearing of the u:rh form a.ncl th0
military bearing. of our Cqmpany will
improve, .. :but as I sit here with one hr:r''
on the restricted liberty list and t he
other pn the ·11 John Pat1.l Jones' 11 letter,
I will -6~mplete this little· rambling
with a quotation from that written abo ,t
1775 but still 0.pplicr-:ble to our ce.se :11Whilst the shi..rs sent forth by the Congre'Ss may m1d' mvs-1-;. fight for the princ:i.pl o of [[Ul!!/'I ~\ rights and republican
fr Ped om, tho s:1.ips. themselves must be
ruled and commcmded at sea by an absolute despotism. 11
