Hoover rations Wampus after sales zoom up
by Rastus
After conferring nightly for six months at a well-known night club with the editor of the New Yorker magazine, Don Hoover announced that he would issue hh. handiwork, the Wampus, today.
Hoover, who is frozen to his job by a recent ruling of the war manpower commission, gurgled over the phone last night that he desires all his sales girls to come around to his private office this morning and then go out and hawk his magazine.
Hoover, who is if via Ily a garrulous individual, wasn't beatin’ his gums with jabber yesterday. In fact, he just wouldn’t talk.
Hoover, however, had his sidekick talk for him, and this is what he said:
“Hoover, my honorable boss, says the Wampus needs no sales argument, for this humor magazine will sell on the basis of its former merit.”
We said uh, huh, to that.
Hoover (who is no relation to the onetime president) squealed* with delight and danced on his toes as he mused in recollection over the contents of today’s issue. And it’s all for only 15 cents, he mumbled as he fingered his wallet.
Our interview was temporarily interrupted when Hoover went intc a spasm of laughter. After picking him up from the floor we continued our interrogation. With a sly wink we whispered to him: “Will there be any feelthy jokes in this issue?”
Hoover just got awfully red in the face, but didn’t say nothin’.

U.P. reports
Reds near Kharkov
Soviet forces took Belgorod and drove on south towards Kharkov, already threatened by another Russian thrust from the south. This latest advance opened a 100-mile gap in the Germans’ famed “winter line.” Two Russian armies closed in on Rostov, now the southern anchor of the whole Axis defense system in Russia. It was reported unofficially that the Germans were' evacuating Rostov and that columns moving westward toward Taganrog were attacked by Soviet dive bombers.
Nips stymied
Tokyo broadcast that Nipponese troops had been evacuated from Guadalcanal and in Washington Secretary Knox confirmed that organized Japanese resistance there had ceased. A Navy department communique said that on Feb. 8 U. S. army troops on Guadalcanal had “lengthened the forward line along the Umasani river” and com-
pleted consolidation of the recently occupied position at Titi, killing 34 Japanese during these operations. The Japs remaining on the island were surrounded.
U. S. bags 18 planes
American planes heavily attacked Gabes and Sousse and again bombed Messina on the island of Sicily, doing much damage, and shooting down 18 enemy planes. Allied headquarters announced that in three months in Africa 607 enemy planes had been shot down to 250 allied aircraft lost. No enemy thrust against French positions east of Gafsa was repulsed with Axis losses.
British over channel
British fighter planes made offensive sweeps over the channel and a few German bombers made “nuisance” raids on Britain. London had an alert but no bombs were dropped there and little damage was done elsewhere.

SC men enlisted in the army air corps reserve received notification last Monday that they would be called to active duty in a “few days.” Included in this group are prospective flight officers, bombardiers, navigators, and pilots; and aspirant ground crew members.
Although the war department recently announced that students in the ERC not majoring in a subject absolutely related to the war effort would be called to active duty at the conclusion of the first semester in 1943, Dean Raubenheimer has emphasized that all students should remain in college until they receive their papers to report. Subjects listed as vital to the war effort are medical, dental, and engineering.
Dean Raubenheimer has pointed out that students will receive full credit for completion of satisfactory work past the ten-week examination period.
Students who have signed up for V-l and V-7 will be placed on active duty by the Navy at a date to be announced. They will be provided with pay, subsistence, and uniforms and will spend full time in completing their college training program.
Reservists will be allowed up to a maximum of five semesters to complete their schooling, depending on the number of semesters completed at the time of their call to active duty.
