L. I). FARGO RETURNS TO CITY Ripons war hero, Major Lynn D. Fargo, graduate from the class of 1936, was in town for a few days winter quarter. Returning from the Italian front, he had breakfast in Casablanca and was in New York the following morning. He spent only a few days here be- fore leaving for army ground force headquarters in Washington. Major Fargo pleaded for a con- tinuation of the ROTC program. “Almost 98 per cent of the officers arc reserve officers from schools, many of them similar to Ripon. That is one basis of our military success. I hope that the ROTC is not abolished. Two silver stars for gallantry wi action, two Purple Hearts for shrapnel and machine gun wounds, and a prospective presidential ci- tation arc among the honors Major Fargo has received. He is exceed- ingly modest about his achieve- ments. He preferred to praise his outfit, the third division, “which probably saw as much, if not more, action than any unit in the front row. He enjoyed meeting buddies from Ripon—George Peck, Roland Horky, Bill Bruhy, and Brig. Gen. Eagles. Dr. Tracy Strevey Speaks On March 17 On Mar. 17, the student body of Ripon college had as its speak- er, Dr. Tracy Strevey. Dr. Strev- ey, professor of history at North- western university, spoke on the Changing Patterns of American Democracy. He stated that de- mocracy is dynamic, its conception and patterns changing over the years. Changes either grow imme- diately out of the force and impact of woe, or they gradually come into effect after being crystallizing over half a century or more. The twentieth century looms as the century of change and transi- tion. Certain principles must sur- vive through this war and peace. Dr. Strevey called particular at- tention to the doctrine of individ- ual freedom, equality of opportu- nity, social justice, principle of popular government, and mainte- nance of proper division of power, and faith in the idea of progress. For the first two quarters, the senior class in composition edited issues of the Scribbler, Ripon college's literary magazine. Norma Jean Stuart, Harwood senior was chosen first quarter’s ed- itor. Specimens of work from both creative writing classes and outside students were published. Second quarter’s magazine was edited by a board consisting of the entire class, Norma Jean Stuart, Henry Klaus Miller, and Tom Scott. This quarter’s publication will be in the hands of the advanced composition class under Dean Graham. Despite the war and critical pa- per shortages, the Scribbler” will continue. This quarters editor, Mary Jane Kraus, Duffie, sopho- more. whose experience and talent have been exhibited in high school and in work on the College Days” promises that the spring issue will reach all former high standards. The Scribbler contains student material in the shorter forms— short story, poetry, essays, vig- nettes and reviews. It provides the honored opportunity for the em- bryo author to sec actually “his word in print. It is tangible rec- ognition of the literary talents of campus writers. Red Cross Drive Shows Increase The participation of Ripon col lege. led by Bob McDonald, in tin nationwide American Red Cross drive wjfs extremely successful with a total contribution of $144.76. Henry J Maxwell, in charge of the drive in the city of Ripon, ex- pressed great pleasure with the re- sults of the college drive.
