NIAGARlAN'S REPURTS War Atmosphere in the South p by Louis A. DeBiase When assignments were given out last March to NIAGARIAN stef members the contents of NIAGARIANKS reports was yet to be decided. The subject was decided upon, however, a -month later when it was learned that Louis DeBi1z.ve and, Dominick Conti were planning a tour of the South. It was 5:30 Easter morning when we caught our first glimpse of Fort Benning. The warm Georgia sun had yet to make its appearance over the hilly pine-covered land. It was cool- too cool for a state whose biggest money-making crop is cotton. Passing through the city, which pre- cedes the camp, we noticed 'one out- standing thing-the people were war mad. Everything was war-newsboys on every corner shrilling, 100,000 Homeless. Biggest raid of year. A screen outside a daily's office was hashing to different groups on the street the news, minute by minute. The clothing stores sold nothing but what it did not represent army uniforms in one way or another. In touring the camp, which is the largest of its kind in the world today, we found the situation even worse. We saw tanks, trucks, motorcycles, tents, cannons by the hundreds-ofticers and privates by the thousands. The whole atmosphere was that of war. It made one feel as though war was inevitable. The only signs of peace were the tall pines and the Georgian sun. FOOTBALL MANAG ERS CALM BEFORE THE BELL TWO MORE POINTS . . . MAYBE U05 NIAGARIAWSG l PICTURES Credit for the majority of NIAGA- RIAN'S candid shots must be given to Louis Masceri Csee cut abovej, who claims the title of head photographer of the 1941 annual. Masceri is also class composer and expects to enter either the music or photographic helds. Howard Simon also worked greatly in taking the many pictures scattered throughout the following pages. He hopes to make a vocation out of his present hobby by taking a course in cinematography after leaving Niagara. Of the three junior photographers, the most promising is Louis Russo, and in all probability he will take over Masceri's place on the 1942 NIAGA- RIAN. The two remaining members of the staff are Joe Donofro and Bob Kushner, whose duty lay in taking pic- tures of our underclassmen. The only professional pictures were taken by Mr. T. Kondo. They include all clubs and organizations except the Candid and Projection groups, which were taken by Mr. Paul Fowler. Mr. T. Kondo was in charge of the senior pictures and six of the nine fraterni- ties and sororities. Other three were made by Miss Jane Hardcastle.
