Ir. addition to expressing and selling forth
some son of a policy, an editor's first editorial

we think well of the editor-in-chief's work during the preceding term. But because we feel also
that the general feeling among faculty and students toward 77v Collegian this past semester
was favorable, further comment hecr is not
justified.
A COSTLY LOSS
l_,st Monday afternoon in the New York
Harbor, a workman on the promenade deck of
the l\ S. S. Lafayette, formerly the 85.425-ton
French luxury liner Normandic, saw the first
signs of smoke, indicating a fire which was to
destroy the three upper decks of this, the most
costly, and, after the Queen Elizabeth, the largest
passenger ship ever built.
In addition to the material damage done this
Soo.000,000 ljner. one of the workmen engaged
in converting the ship to. the Navy's purposes
was fatally injured and 75 others were injured
seriously enough to require hospitalizacioo.
It will be many weeks before the Navy can
repair the ship, which armed coast guardsmen
seized along with 1 i other French passenger ships,
tankers, and freighters in six United States ports
the day after the 0. S. declared war on Germany
•. and Italy. The huge -liner, which had been
placed under protective custody" in New York
in May, had been originally constructed v> that
it might easily be converted into the largest and
one of the fastest aircraft carriers afloat: and it
is believed that the Navy had been working on
it with laht airn in mind.
On her maiden voyage from France to the
U. S. in June, 1955, die Normandic set a new
record in time taken to make the westward
crossing of the Pacific by doing it in a little less
than four and one-half days with an' average-
speed of- 2956 knots, or of about 32 miles an
