(jg) Joseph Ge- letka is the signature now being used by the former “Mad Russian” of the disbursing office and small stores room. The “Man from Moscow” came to the Pre-Flight School as SK3c, and is the fourth SK to be commissioned in recent weeks. * * * Correction—In reporting promotions in the officers’ ranks last week, we erred by elevating the following Lt. (jg)s to full lieutenants: Simon J. Golden, Robert E. Howe, Harry L. Lawrence, Warren E. Lentz, Henry L. Reese, Thurman R. Ward, and Walter Wood. The mistake is regretted by us too, and we hope they make it next time. British Admiral Praises Grumman Fighting Planes Vice Admiral John H. Towers, USN, received a message recently from Rear Admiral A. L. St. G. Lyster, RN, who has an important command at sea in the Royal Navy, praising the perform ance of the RAF’s “Martlet” fighting planes during Mediterranean convoy operations reinforcing the embattled forces on the island of Malta. The British “Martlets” are the U. S. Navy’s famous Grumman “Wildcats” which have fought so successfully in every Pacific engagement of the war to date. Admiral Lyster stated that the Grumman fighters had given the enemy plenty of trouble. The Academic Coordinator TO THE OFFICERS OF THE PRE-FLIGHT SCHOOL We carry in stock 15 ounce odd blue serge trousers. Blue Serge and Elas- tigue suits in stock and to order with braid of your rank AT JACK LIPMAN’S More than two decades of associa-<f tion with Ohio State University—first as a student, then as an executive and educator—were interrupted last Janu ary, when Lieut. Howard L. Hamilton, head of the Academic Department, en tered the Navy on leave of absence from the university for the duration. From the time he entered Ohio State in 1920, his life was linked continuously with the Buckeye school, with the ex ception of the first year following graduation in 1924. In the summer of 1924 he worked on a real estate index ing project in Columbus, O., and in the fall served as line football coach at Kenyon College, Gambier, 0. But 1925 found Mr. Hamilton back at Ohio State as inventory supervisor in charge of equipment. In his spare time he studied law and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1928. After three years in the business of fice of the university, he was appointed Executive Secretary of the College of Arts and Sciences, holding that posi tion until coming to the Navy early this year. He also served as instruc tor in political science since 1932, and was rated as an associate professor at the time of his departure. Upon reporting to the Navy in Washington, Mr. Hamilton was desig nated to perform liaison duties be tween the Pre-Flight organization and the universities where the Pre-Flight Schools were to be located. His in sight into the operations of academic institutions, gained at 0. S. U., served well in the formative days of the pro gram. He was sent on a survey trip with Comdr. Kessing and Comdr. Webb to each of the Pre-Flight Schools for the purpose of foreseeing the varied prob lems bound to arise when a Pre-Flight unit is superimposed on the campus of a peacetime university. The present curricula followed by the Pre-Flight Schools reflect in some measure his valuable experiences accrued at 0. S. U., for he assisted in outlining the courses taught. In particular, the Nomenclature and recognition course was established under his suggestion and guidance. His influence was fur ther impressed on the academic phase of Pre-Flight training when he inter viewed and assisted in the selection of Borrowed Bits HOLY HOLLYWOOD—The Hays office insisted that Columbia substitute “darn” in Admiral Farragut’s famous “Damn the torpedoes!” in the soon-to- be-released picture “Merry - Go - Round.”—Newsweek * * * WELL DONE AND SAID—Last week a Navy officer revealed the report that the U. S. submarine Sturgeon radioed to its flagship after sinking its first Jap ship: “Sturgeon no longer virgin.”—Time # * * NAVY POLKA—The Andrews Sis ters’ new version of “Beer Barrel Polka” has been adopted as an official Navy song, but with a new title, “Here Comes the Navy,” and new lyrics by Lieut. Comdr. Clarence P. Oakes.— New York Daily News Ledbetter-Pickard Lieut. Hamilton the civilians hired as instructors of the mathematics and physics course for the four Pre-Flight schools. Among the casualties of the war is Mr. Hamilton’s unusual hobby dating back to 1925—that of handling foot ball crowds at Ohio State football games, no small task when it is real ized that such crowds have averaged better than 60,000 for each of the Buckeyes’ home games during the past five years. The current generation of the Ham ilton family into which our academic coordinator was born 39 years ago is establishing a rare service record dur ing the present war, for all five broth ers are serving as officers in the United States Army or Navy. The other four, ranked from old est to youngest, are: Lt. Col. John L. Hamilton, of the 11th Replacement Battalion, Lt. Lewis, Wash.; Lt. Comdr. Donald G. Hamilton, Supply Corps, Boston Navy Yard; Lieut. Robert S. Hamilton, officer in charge of the Navy Recognition School at Columbus, O., and Comdr. Thomas J. Hamilton, direc tor of the naval aviation physical fit ness program in Washington. Lieut. Howard Hamilton is next to the youngest in age.
