GRIN AND BEAR IT
By Lichty
Joe Hinman
In 1916 he*quit his job as reporter on a Chicago
paper to cover the pursuit of Villa in Mexico.
From there he went to the Western Front and
after the- war covered the fighting in Spanish
Morocco, the Gandhi Revolution in India, thc
Italian invasion of Ethiopia, thc Spanish Revolution, thc Russo-Fmnish war, and was in thc
midst of the World War II.
But though he found no peace, he did watch
twenty-four years of world history from a ringside scat. And as foreign correspondent for the
United Press he rose to the lop or his profession
by turning limitation* inn- .■prvnunitics.
As a boy he fainted at the sight of blood and
display of cruelty or violence sie'kene-J him For
the- lirst twenty years of In* life he- ate- no meat.
Yet his reports of wars and revolutions on four
continents srjnJ out Kvause- of Ins native- sensitiveness. With world events of the most dramatic
sort crashing all about linn. Wehh Miller yearned
inwardly for tranquillity. But he got th cnews—
and frequently got ii first—when the captains
and the- kings cried havoc and le-t slip the- dogs
Wednesday — in ihe- midst of Europe where-
truly there- is no peace—Webb Miller met death
Miller had just re-turned from the Faiglish Parliament, where he had covered Neville Chamberlain's explanation as to why he was "missing so
many busses." London was having another of its
"blackouts." Miller was on a train heading for
thc country, where he could relax until morning.
He went to transfer from one train to another.
He thought be was at a station, but thc blackout
fooled him. He fell. Thc next morning his body
was found along side the right of way.
He wasn't killed in action; but,'indirectly, the
war liad claimed another victim.

SICK ... are the students of elections. This
was the main reason given by observers for the
morguish atmosphere that surrounds the present student offices contest. Even the newsy
disqualification of three candidates because of
deficient grades failed to stir more than a murmur even among active supporters of the candidates. Conscientious election committee members were again seen religiously checking the
size of campaign posters. A lot of worry would
be denied members of the "cleaner Fresno
politique club" if the actual poster di
were printed on the signs.

SPECIAL ... notice from one of the prominent
fraternities says that they've been misrepresented in thc pre-carnival publicity. They are
not having a pie-throw, but a genuine Slush

AS PREDICTED ... in this kolyum last winter, the blow about a sophomore name band
and the subsequent scholarship has ail vanished
back into the bottle from which it came. Still
unpaid, however, is the bet that the writers of
this strip made with the promoters. The wager
was that IF a Hollywood dignitary was brought
to Fresno, or IF a sophomore scholarship was
established, we would wheel the promoters
down Van Ness Avenue in a wheelbarrow.
