COLLEGIAN "READABLE —WOHTH READING VOLUME TWENTY-EIGHT Reviewer Finds Carrier Average By Ed Scoyan Revealing some Interesting possibilities which, probably hampered by Its newness, failed to the Carrier, Fresno State's fifth publication mad* its first appear- - ancc last week. Representing the efforts of Low- 1 er Division O. Henry's and Gertrude Steins, it conta f works of unusual interest and appeal although the majority fall into the rut of similarity that usually clings to such literary efforts. The stories follow the usual pattern of the short short story — namely a quick buildup and s sur- I prise ending held together by a web . of descriptive phrases. Most of the works fail because of a fiat ending, but In many the reader Is soon lost In a welter of adjectives that not only confuse the plot but the reader as well. OBJECTS TO ADJECTIVES Although It is sn accepted (act that a certain amount of lucid description is essential. State's young authors seem to hare gone overboard on this score. When the reader Is confronted with ten adjectives In one sentence, he soon becomes so engrossed In description i that the whole point Is lost Ra- ' tlonlng of adjectives seems to be in order; and the Carrier will profit by it On the poetic side of the picture, most ot the efforts are of the short four-line variety, following the Gertrude Stein or Ogden Nash tradl- 1 tion. The Ogden Nash variety are all unusually good and lucid, but In most- of the others the reader Is soon lost in a maze of mystic mumblings. The authors seem to be most successful when they stick .to the humorous and simple form "of expression and leave the weird and unusual to Stein and Benet. PRAI8E8 ESSAY8 There are also three essays deal- " lng with post-war Germany. Norwegian resistance, and a humorous article on the use of capitals. All are well done although some of the factual material in the two political essays is Inaccurate. "The case against upper case" shows an unusual amount of originality and Is written clearly and to the point. I It is outstanding because It Is dlf- I ferenL In general, The Carrier's first Issue speaks of better things to come, and as the ability of Its contributors Improve, It may take Its .place with the older established publications of Fresno State.

Naval Air Station. Pensacola, Fls, Prior to entering the Naval service. Ensign Brunton attended Fresno State College and the University of Washington for three years. While In school, he.played on the varsity football and track Early In April, Brunton began preliminary training at the Naval Aviation Base in Anacostla, and successfully completed the course the last of July, before going the "Annapolis of the Air," basic and advanced training. Having been designated a Naval Aviator, Ensign Brunton will go active duty at one of the Navy's air operational training centers before being assigned to a combat Smittcamp Wins USMC Commission Earl S. Smittcamp, senior class president at Fresno State College in 1939, has been commissioned a Second Lieutenant In the United States Marine Corps, it was learned The gold bars ot his rank awarded to the Fresno State graduate upon successful completion of a rigorous ten-week course for officer candidates at the Marine base, Quantlco, Va. He Is now in attendance irve Officers' class at tht base, where he will be given three additional months of instruction In the principles of command. Assignment to a combat unit for further field training or study In a specialists' school will follow. A commerce major here, Lleu- mant Smittcamp was active In student affairs.

All ERC members, Including those In the ERC Air Corps, who have changed their addresses since September should obtain a blank from the office of the Dean of Men Mitchell P. Brlggs fill out their Army Man Surveys FSC For Soldier Training By Gordon Scott H. R. Fine, project manager of the real estate branch of the U. S. Army Engineers, is at Fresno State today to inspect housing, boarding, classrooms, and laboratory facilities for possible group assignments of enlisted men for special college training. Plans call for selecting approved colleges for training enlisted men in units of 300 to 800 men each, according to Dr. Frank W. Thomas, president of the college. No definite decisions will be made immediately in regard to most of the colleges to be selected, but a very careful preliminary survey is now in progress on the campuses of many colleges having high accredited status. From the results of these surveys information will be tabulated and selection made by military authorities for various types of assignments. "The chief problem to be met at Fresno State College is that of housing facilities for large group units," the president revealed. "Various possible plans have been considered and will be discussed with Mr. Fine during his official inspection of this campus today." There will be various types of training requested and colleges will be selected in accordance with their facilities for particular purposes, the president believed. Those assigned for pre-medical training or for specialized scientific service will probably be kept at selected colleges for at least two years. On the other hand, he said, groups of enlisted men designated for special technical training are likely to be stationed at a selected college for not more than 12 weeks of intensive training and then sent immediately into fields of service. In accordance with this plan college centers will be in operation through the entire year, operating on four 12-week terms of training with one intervening week for transfer and reassignment between sessions. It is expected, Dr. Thomas said, that the selections of colleges for such sen-ices will be announced before March 1, and at the same time specific details as to progres's will be made public. "At the present time only general principles have been announced, but it has been made clear that the enlisted men will be treated as ordinary college students in all respects except supervision of housing and incidental discipline. One commanding officer will be assigned to each college group for general oversight of the men, but the administration of the college training program is to be left entirely in the hands of the college officials," the president said. In regard to specific programs of the Army and Navy, he revealed that in all probability the Enlisted Reserve Corps for army and air corps will be called into active service on February 1. After training of preliminary nature these men ill be sent back for instruction at centers as may be chosen for the particular kind of training in which they are to take part. Navy V-l, which includes Marine and Coast Guard reserves, has made no announcement about calling their reservists into service, although they will probably be given some sort of uniform or designation to indicate that they are in that particular service. No change in the original program for Navy V-7 has been released, Dr. Thomas said, and it is assumed that these upper division men will be allowed to complete their college program. Members of the aviation division of the Navy, V-5, •ill probably be called at the end of their sophomore year. Contivuii em ?*f 4 Council to Discuss War-time Set-up Student Council, tonight at 6:30 will be devoted mainly toward discussions of revamping student government to conform with wartime conditions and emergencies, Floyd Hyde, student president announced today. A War Board, "to coordinate the student acUviUes in such a way as to make them more a part of the nation's war effort." will be appointed by Hyde.
