Turkish Students
Learning English
(ACP) — Since August , thirteen
Turkish students who came to Queens
College to learn English have been
struggling with American slang, eating at the Huddle, going to movies ,
talking and listening, with emphasis
on the later.
Sent there on government scholarships , the group of twelve men and
one woman are just a i'evv in the program of severa l hundre d who nre to
be sent to English nnd American universities. The Queens College group,
all of whom have their Mnsler 's degree in agriculture or engineering,
will stay for a year until they know
English well enough to continue their
Ph.D.'s in specialized fields in other
American colleges,
Queens College entered the picture
in May, 19-15, when a cablegram came
from Ankara inquiring whether they
could accommodate these accredited
students. A quick amrmative roply

The First American Army University
By HARVEY A. ANDRUSS, President , B. S. T. C.
(Sequence to the First Article)
Acknowledgement of Appreciation
The writer has quoted liberally
from two sources. One , War Depart ment Technical Manual , TM 28 -205
and the Commencement Address delivered to the first graduating class of
the first American Army University
by Elmer T. Peterson , Deputy Director , Academic Division , Shrivenham
American University .
To these sources, grateful acknowledgement is herewith recorded .
Since the writer 's first hand information includes contacts as prc-registration advisement of G. I. students
and later as head of one of the departments in the Division of Commerce , the remainder of this discussion is limi ted to certain phases of
guidance and instruction which have
emerged to date . These impressions
seem to be sufficiently wide to be
characteristic of the w.' iole university
offering 365 courses to 4,0(30 stu.lcnts ,
Cooperation With English
Universities
Located less than thirty miles from
Oxford , Shrivenha m Army Universi ty has had opportunities to use
many of the facilities made available
by the Oxonian colleges. Bodleian
Libra ry, Rhodes House, incl uding its
library , con tacts with English faculty
members through lectures , teas a n d
oilier social occasions have given
American G. I. students and faculty
much to remember of English openlui ndcd social and intellectual hospitality. Graduate students have round
the facili ties of Oxford and the University helpful and in soiwc cases indispensable to the tusk they uro perfo rmin g in the period of eight weeks
reside nce. Certain areas of Academic instruction on the college level
ar e not found in English Universities.
Cgmmoree is not n separate area of
concentration in Oxford and Cambridge. Althou gh the Universit y of
London imi\ the "red brick" or prov\iw\ti\ universities Jwve developed
college ins truction in commerce to a
limited extent , it Ik not comparable
to the emphasis given In American
universities to this field ,
An idea of the singe of developmont of thinkin g in the area oollcghito busi ness education van bo discerned by an item appearing In "The
Daily Telegraph and Morning Post"
of London , dutocl October 12, 1945 , us
follows:

*

"An inquiry by Cambridge University Appointments Board on university men in business revealed that:
"Seventy -three per cent of employers appro ached spoke strongly in favour of university education as a preparation for business.
"Only 43 per cent of graduates
questioned similarly expressed themselves in favour of such education.
"This is revealed in a report of the
inquiry , published today.
"Among the constructive suggesj tions made to the board is that undergraduates should be brough t in
contact with their possible employers
beiore their third year , an obvious
advantage to both employer and employee.
"A stabilising period of a year in
an office or works before going to the
university is also advocated. "
Division of Commerce
With one exception , the Division oi
Commerce enrolled more students
than any other,
A staff of 60 instructors aided by
15 academic assistants were organized in branches or departments as follows: Accounting, Finance , Marketing, Economics , Business Administratio n (law, organization , and management ), and Secretarial Studies,
Among the institutions represented
in t h e Accounti ng Brunch were:
Northwestern University, Uni versity
of Pittsburgh, University of Texas ,
Dai tmoulh College, Uni versity of
Califo rn ia , and the State Teachers
Colleges loca ted at Bloomsburg, P a.,
Greenville , North Carolina and Mun~
ele , Indiana , and many others.
An impression of thu flrsl Army
University can be given by answering
the question
Wliat About the G . I. Student?

soldie r without a definite objective.

"Never park on a professor s desk!
warns a Teachers College professor
at Cedar Falls, Iowa. "It will be just
the time the wif e comes in f or those
car keys she forgot! And what's
more , it's a pretty dumb form of apple-polishing!"
The professor, who wishes to remain anonymous , defi ned polishing
the apple as "working a teacher for
a grade you really don 't deserve,"
and added that students who do earn
a good grade don 't apple-polish. "It's
mostly the border-line cases who do,"
he said.
Asked how professors disting uish
between genuine interest and applepolishing, he said , "Well , I think one
reacts to it instinctively. It's something in the tone of voice, the facial
expression , that helps to let us know
whether it's sincere in terest or just a
game. "
One of the worst types, lie says,
are "students who phone the instructor at his home in the evening to
'check on an assignment.' How do
you imagine it sounds to the wife
when sho hears a swoet, delicate
voice ask, 'Is Professor Smith there?'
And his wife turns and says, 'O-o-h ,
Professor—there 's a la-a-a-dy calling . . .'."
Another type comes up after class
and says, "I was so in terested in what
you said about so-and-so!"
And the girl who confesses, "I
spend more time on this course than
any other! You j ust don't know how
much I enj oy it!"
The intimidating type dashes up
and says , "What are you going to
give me this term?"
"Well , I don 't know—what do you
think yo u 're going to get?"
"I gotta get a B."
"Well then , I hope you earn it!"
"But you gotta give me a B!"
"I don 't give grades—you earn
them!"
"I t 's too bad ," said the instructor,
"tha t the idea of apple-polishing was
developed , because I think students
miss wonderf ul opportunities to get
acquainted personally with the profs.
Profs, really can be of great help to
students."
He added , "A nd apple-polishing
really doesn't work like the students
cal officer who wanted studio work in
sculp turin g or painting and the engineer who wanted philosophy. There
lias been the chap who has decided to
far m, or open a re t ail st ore, or become an accountant , or go into teaching or j ouunalism seeking technical
prepara tion and assistance,
For the most part , these students
have known exactl y what they wanted—the most specific and functional
trainin g lor their own particular job

The activities of the first Army
Unive rsity have been dedicated to the
pu rpose of peace, to the cultivation of
constructive forces , to the fostering of
spiritual nnri intellectual lite, to the
restoration and enhancement of the
ci vilizin g influences and values, Oppor tunities which have been provided
have boon rich nncl .varied. The response of the student soldier hns boon
magnificent.
Let administrators of college and
university education in America note

Those Little Gold Buttons and What
They Mean
From time to time, all over the campus little gold lapel buttons blossom
modestly on the coats of many of the boys and girls. Here and there, bits
of miscellaneous Service uniforms are worn in conjunction with civilian
clothing. With this evidence before us, it doesn 't take much Sherlock Holmseing to deduce that a good part of the men—and one of the girls—
now attending B. S. T. C. are veterans of the Armed Forces.
All of u s k n ow, of course, that the little gold lapel button with the
perched eagle folding his wings stands for an honorable discharge from the
Service, but we sometimes fail to consider that 'each tiny button has behind
it a big, personal , i n di vid u al , and usually, extremely interesting story of its
own.
For example, behind the one that John^-"Jack"—Davis sometimes
wears is a tale of twenty-five B-24 "Liberator " bomber missions over
Germany as a staff sergeant tail gunner , of being shot down and then
raptured , and o£ being confined as a prisoner of war for eight months. Jack,
whose home is in Kingston, is now a Sophomore here at the College. He is
interested in basketball and baseball . His Army career began on January
16 , 1943 , and extended for two years and eight months until September 5,
3 945. His training in the Air Force took him all over this country—Texas,
Colo r ad o, Nevada , New Mexico , Virginia and New York, and then to England via British Guina , Brazil and Dahar. He was a member of the 49th
Bombardier Group of the 8th Air Force and was shot down on his twentyfif th mission on September of 1944. He was released from the prisoner of
war camp by the British Army, and hospitali zed in Belgium , England and
this country . He holds the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with
three clusters, The Purple Heart , Presidential Unit Citation , and the European Theater Ribbon with three battle stars. And he is single with ideas,so, girls
Another Air Force man is Glenn— "Red"—Loveland , fro m Tr u cksville ,
Pa., who is a Freshman here. He is interested in basketball and football .
" and played hockey in the Army. Red entered the Army in September of
1942 , and served for over three years. He became a First Lieutenant in the
Ai r Corps and a pilot-navigator of a P-61 "Black Widow " with the 12th Air
.Force. He was in on the invasion of Italy and southern France, and was
awarded the Air Medal with four clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross,
and the European Theater Ribbon with six battle stars. He is very much
single.
When Albert—"AI"—Zimmerman, from Hazleton puts on his button , it
stands for four years and three months as a Navy man. Al is a Freshman
her e, art editor of this paper, and interested in most sports—football, basket ball , and swimming in particular . In f act he was captain of his high
school swim team and State Champ in the 50 yards free style. He re, b eliev e
it or not , is a sailor who can swim . Maybe it is lucky he could because he
was a machinist mate, fir st cl ass, on the Brunswick when it was sunk. He
also served aboard the Violet and the Seattle, and got over a lot of this
world's water—Africa, Italy, Sicily, England , France and Russia. He was
wounded in the invasion of Italy and hospitalized in Africa and at Norfolk.
He holds the Purple Heart and the European Theater Ribbon with four
battle stars. He is single and , he says, interested!
Charles Harmony, from State College, Pa., doesn 't have a button yet
because he is still in the Army. He is attending school here on a convalescent furlough. Charles is a former student here and is taking work in Special Education as he is much interested in that kind of work and intends to
go into it fairly far. When he does get that button , it will have quite a lot
1o tell. He was inducted on August 28, 1941, over four years ago, and war in
every army in the Pacific. He was in the Sixth and Eighth Infantry on the
Phillipp ines and a mortar gunner (a tough job) with the Tenth and Ninetysixth on Okinawa , where he was wounded. He was hospitalized on Guam
and at the McGuire General Hospital in Richmond , Va., from which he is
how on furlough. He says he is single and— "That' s all."
Peter Parnell who is called "Jitterburg, " has his home at Hazleton and
"Lakowood." His sports are basketball and that grand old army game of
Rolling Dominoes. He entered the Air Force in 1942 and served for three
years as a big shot Technical Sergeant stationed in the Pentagon at Washington , where he fought many a pitched engagement warding off the female
wolves. He emerged the presumed winner and still single.
Frank Pnpe who answers to the name oi "Shanghai , is another sailor.
He is interested in football nnd bnskeiball . He, too,, is a Freshman here at
B, S. T. C. His home berth is Hnzleton and he up-anchored from there in
3 043 for Norfolk und the Navy, He participated in an Atlantic expedition
on nn L, C, I. nnd served as a radar man—Seaman, First Class until 1945,
His little button said he was single find gave u big wink. What it meant , I
don 't know.
John Guy, "Baumer ," from Nesquehonlng, \vat> one of those famous follows every one in the Army wanted to meet after the war—nn Army cook!
His button speaks of over four years in the Army and three yours overseas,
Ho entered the Army in February , 1041, nnd whs discharged August , 1945,
He was n T/4 in the 805th Tnnk Destroyer Bnttnlion in Murk Clark' s Fifth

pouring back into the nation 's colleges, IBS has been swamped with
requests for information and help in

Weep No More, My Coed
Here's good news. College women
needn 't turn grey any more at the
prospect of being old maids.
A' survey made by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company proves that
the smarter a woman becomes the
more likely are her chances to make
a so-called "good match. "
The study shows both men and women are likely to choose mates with
schooling similar to their own. Almost half the college men interviewed had married college women ,
and only one in sixteen had married
a woman whose education had
stopped with grade school.
The fair sex did even better. More
than half stated that they hud married college .men.
The survey didn 't go into the details on how to catch the male. Undoubtedly they feel that college women know the hows and wherefores
of the chase.—The Daily Athonium ,
