Loss of alarm clock saddens trainees life
If you were to ask a certain unfortunate NROTC trainee his philosophy of life, the answer would probably be, “One bad thing follows another.”
Here is his story. First he broke his watch and was forced to borrow his roommate’s alarm clock to time a speech for one of his classes. Afterward, between 11:30 and 12 Monday morning, he went into the Union to eat. Purely by accident, he claims, the alarm clock was left on a table in the Union.
When the trainee went back to retrieve his roommate’s property, he couldn’t find it. He looked high and low, contacted the lost and found, asked waitresses, janitors, and the cashier. But the clock was missing. His roommate was unhappy.
No more afternoon snoozes. No more additional sleep to make the trainees alert. Alarm clocks are impossible to buy now. The poor, unfortunate trainee has often been informed of this by his roommate, who is very unhappy about losing the clock.
“It was just a square Inger-sol kitchen-type clock,” said the trainee, who had been using it at the Union table to summon waitresses, even if he was sitting at an out-of-bounds table.
If anybody knows the whereabouts of this controversial alarm clock, he should return it to the Trojan editor’s office. It is very vital. Because after the clock comes back, the roommate will be happy. But at present he is still very unhappy.

Kepler says Chips way of life is best
Escape to Shangri-La is not possible on this little planet in 1943 for there is no Shangri-La, Dr. Thomas S. Kepler, professor of philosophy and religion at Lawrence college, Wise., told the all-U assembly yesterday.
Dr. Kepler compared the opposing philosophies found in
James Hilton’s “Lost Horizon” and |
Trainees offered free CBS tickets
and
“Good-bye, Mr. Chips,” pointing out that we must accept Mr. Chip's way of life, the philosophy that accepts life with all its ruggedness.
“Poise and serenity can be discovered in life if one looks at it
through realistic eyes and with a heart of adventure,” Dr. Kepler stated.
“A recent poll of college students showed that 90 per cent of them suffer from some kind of frustration,” stated Dr. Kepler. “It is only with a grim determination to overcome shortcomings that we can face our problems and succeed.”
Learning how to face problems in a rugged world is essential, if we are to reduce the great number of frustration cases that are so prevalent during times like these.
“No person has arrived at the place he has achieved without overcoming many obstacles,” continued Dr. Kepler as he illustrated his statement with accounts of such famous persons as Paderewski, Glenn Cunningham, and George Washington Carver.
“We must understand the past to have an appreciation of the present, and only with maturity and education do we begin to understand the past,” Dr. Kepler said.
Hope in the future, not despair and cynicism, is the attitude people must take if they are to achieve worthwhile goals, Dr. Kepler concluded.
Servicemen, attention.

IT'S ALL OVER—A war correspondent in Italy gave the first hint of the Italian surrender in his report that prisoners told their Allied captors that they had been ordered to lay down their arms without resistance. Here their identification cards are being checked.
dawn in a swift sequel to Italy’s unconditional surrender, but predicted “heavy fighting” before the Germans are driven out of Italy.
As radio Berlin broadcast its statement in a domestic program, the official DNB agency announced that the Brenner pass had been closed to civilian traffic.
(A United Press dispatch from Bern reported an Italian declaration of war against Germany is imminent as a result of the Nazi action in forming a “National Fascist government” in the name of Benito Mussolini. Angered by the vitriolic German outburst against his decision to surrender and the Berlin radio’s surprise announcement that a Fascist government has been formed to keep Italy in the war and punish the “traitors” in Rome, Marshal Pietro Badgolio is prepared to break with the Nazis and take his country back into the war against them, highly reliable sources in Bern said.)
The American invasion forces, including elements of the U.S. fifth army which is in action for the first time, are under command of Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark, hero of the daring submarine venture which paved the way for last November’s North African invasion. Still a mystery, however, were the whereabouts of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton’s U.S. seventh army, veterans of the Sicilian campaign.
Stimson’s announcement said that Clark’s forces already have clashed with German troops and have taken some prisoners.
A late Allied communique announced that nearly 200 miles below Naples, eighth army commandos had made another new landing in Italy at Vibo Valentia, 33 miles ahead of the original invasion forces, seized that town, and joined their main body advancing up the coast at an accelerated pace. The Tokio radio said tonight that the Japanese had seized all Italian enterprises and properties in occupied zones of East Asia, including Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manchuria, occupied China, and the south seas area.
Dr. Bowman evaluates Italian capitulation
“There is a saying in Europe that if Italy is neutral it will take 10 divisions to watch her, if she is an enemy it will take 15 divisions to conquer her, but if she is an ally it will take 25 divisions to help her.” Dr. Francis Bowman, associate professor of history, thus evaluated the allied conquest of Italy.
A member of the faculty of the SC history department and instructor in modern European history, Dr. Bowman stated yesterday that the signing of an armistice with Italy will only shorten the war by six or eight we^cs.
“The Italian navy hasn’t fired a shot, the army is disorganized and numbers only 250,000 to 500,-
000	men,” said Dr. Bowman. “The German army in northern Italy numbers anywhere from 50,000 to
300,000	and if it can hold the Po valley, it will.”
“The modem valley is the heart of Italy’s wheat lands and the Germans need this food. They will probably try to hold the valley until they get the harvest in. As this is September, that shouldn’t be long.”
“Italy’s surrender, then, is not
an unmixed blessing,” Dr. Bowman continued. “We will have the docks and the workshops at Spezia and the Italian navy. We will also have the people of Italy to feed.”
Italy will give the Allies bases from which to bomb" yet untouched territory, according to Dr. Bowman. The second front is in the air. Occupation of this territory will shorten the distance to Munich and Vienna and will aid our shuttle bombers.
“The basic German position is ln the northern mountains of the Alps and here they will hold,” Dr. Bowman contended. “The Germans have pulled everything out of southern Italy and sooner or later we will have to invade the continent.”
