In addition to expressing and settini; forth
some son of a policy, an editor's first editorial
usually has something commendatory to mention

we think well of the editor-in-chief s work dur-

that the general feeling among faculty and students toward 77v Collegian this past semester
was favorable, further comment heer is not
justified.
A COSTLY LOSS
Last Monday afternoon in the New York
Harbor, a workman on the promenade deck of
rhe 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
$60,000,000 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 hospitalization.
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 t.iln jiin in mind.
On her maiden voyage from France to the
U. S. in June, 1955, trie 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

addition of Uoyd Keesliog, star of two years ago, and one-half of
the famed Floyd-Lloyd Keesling half-mile duo.
