Pearl Harbor
The U. S. naval task force that raided Japanese-held Wake island Oct. 5 and 6, made three separate attacks, pulverizing enemy defenses, sinking two small vessels, and destroying 61 Japanese planes.
Southwest Pacific
Progress of Allied forces in the Solomons and New Guinea exposed Japan’s overworked merchant marine to increasing peril today as the distance diminished between Allied airdrome sites and the open sea lanes where the Japanese must risk their large sea-going craft rather than the more easily replaced barges.
Russia
Soviet forces have smashed the Germans, back beyond artillery range of the Dnieper bridgeheads
fsouth of Kiev, and to the north are osing in rapidly on Gomel and . itebsk in their twin White Russian drives, it was disclosed tonight.

The metamorphises which has taken place during the past weeks
in the dim light of the grill was revealed yesterday afternoon when the Poop Deck was launched with a formal tea and reception. Campus leaders, administration and military dignitaries, and representatives of various organizations which have contributed to the success of the canteen were on hand.
Real approval for the canteen will come today, tomorrow, and Wednesday when it will be open from 1 to 6 p.m. for the inspection of civilians and trainees alike. With the opening of the new term, however, the canteen will become the private property of men in uniform.
Present for yesterday’s tea which was sponsored by Mortar Board under its president, Editha Finch, were Pres, and Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, Capt. and Mrs. Reed M. Fawell, and Cmdr. and Mrs. Baker and deans of the SC schools
and colleges.
The canteen was made possible through the cooperation of many campus organizations according to Mickey Heeger, coordination chairman of the canteen.
“We are indebted,” Heeger said,
“to Cal Straub whose ideas were responsible for the actual decorations of the canteen and to Marnie Hahn who helped with many things from the woman's angle.”
Others who contributed to yesterday’s opening are Joe Krause who did many of the murals, Joan Hargraves. Leta Galentine, Bob Stevens, Dottie Smith, and Mai

Victory Hut skims $29,000
House competition and cooperation of patriotic Trojans has made the Victory Hut successful in selling $28,907.23 worth of war stamps and bands, according to Carroll Brinkerhoff, chairman.
The Delta Gammas lead in the amount of bonds and stamps sold. Delta Zeta, Chi Omega, Alpha Delta, and Alpha Epsilon Phi all run about the same for second place. This spirit of competition between houses was used as a method of staffing the hut. Frankie Masters assisting at the stamp and bond rally helped to raise the quota.
