...most nearly approaches the undergraduate literary norm. Bowden Broadwater's "Several Blots on the Family Escutcheon" will be familiar to all Advocate readers, and the criticisms for unconvincing artificiality of mood to which it is subject may also be leveled at "Doncha Wanna Dig, Chillun" by Dartmouth's Edward Rasmussen. John Barnes' "But the Bullets Were Real" is a more original and evocative attempt. As a study of a sensitive young couple faced with the draft the tale deals with an important youth problem, while its experiment in form, though not always properly controlled, fits it for praise too often...
...them into a Danish battalion. His acceptance by the Finns ended a squabble between the Finns and the Danish volunteers, who had been commanded by a Finnish major. Besides these infantrymen, the Danes have a ten-plane air wing in service with the Finns (its ace flier, Lieut. Fritz Rasmussen, was recently shot down in action), 13 surgeons and 40 nurses with the hospital service. Last week Copenhagen began recruiting a labor battalion of blacksmiths, masons, carpenters, metal workers, farm hands. Nearly 10,000 signed up, at $60 a month, before the recruiting office had to close for clerks...

...rich in Vitamin C. But not everyone who tucks into this dish is assured of firm joints and healthy blood capillaries, for Vitamin C is a delicate thing, easily destroyed by combination with oxygen or improper cooking. Last week in Nature, Physiologists A. Høygaard and H. Waage Rasmussen of the University of Oslo, Norway reported the results of extensive potato-boiling. They found "16-19% more ascorbic acid [Vitamin C] left when vegetables are cooked in salt solution than when vegetables are cooked in distilled water." Reason: the salt prevents oxygen from destroying the vitamin. They also found...
...summer of 1912, George Rixon Benson, president of Chicago's Benson & Rixon Co. clothing store, and Millionaire George Rasmussen, head of National Tea Co. until his death in 1936, made a trip to Wisconsin in a high-sided Stearns touring car. Every night when he shed his goggles Tourist Benson was irked to find that, though his linen duster had protected his jacket, his trousers had got thoroughly dirty. Tourist Rasmussen, however, had solved that problem in advance, had a change at the end of a day: his tailor had made him an extra pair of pants...
