Phi Beta Delta at
University of Fla.
BY A DELTAN

by A DELIAN
Delta's banner year is here. In
scholarship, her number one boast,
she has again topped the campus
for the twelfth consecutive Sc
mester, thus retiring the second
scholarship cup.
Delta was able to retire the
second cup with an honor point
average of 1852 on a 4 point ba-
sis.
Brothers of Delta pinned pledge
pins on thirty-three proud men
the night of Friday, Sept. 18th.
It was the largest group of neo-
phytes in Delta's history to be
honored by the diamond ga"
Delta's big men on the campus
hold a dominant role in extra
curricular activities. Brother Ray
Ehrlich, our representative in
Blue Key, Phi Beta Kappa, and
also a member of Who's Who in
American Colleges, holds down
third rank in campus student
government as Secretary of In
terror. Brother Don Weiss is the
first Deltan to hold the campus
office as managing editor of the
student newspaper, T e Florida
Alligator. Don is president of the
Press club, a member of the var
sity debate squad, and has been
on his class executive council for
the past two years.
Brother Alfred Kohn, editor of
the Florida Review, the university
literary publication, also ranks as
a senior intramural manager I'M
der brother ST Hirshberg, the stu
dent director of intramurals.
Florida's intramural department
under the leadership of Brother
Hirshberg has become renown
throughout the collegiate world.
Keeping Delta well represented in
debate circles we have brother
Sid Aronovitz as secretary of the
debate club, with Delta being rep
resented on both of this semester's
varsity debate trips with brother
Nathan Aronovitz, who is also
general debate manager, making
the Stetson trip, and brother Ar
thur Courshon making the Dixie
Tournament. Other brothers who
will dominate varsity debate cir
cles this year are our H. P. Bernie
Fuchs and number one man IN
the business administration school
in scholarship, Irving Cypen. we
find Sherman Kaplan as the new
prexy of Alpha Epsilon Delta ma
tional honorary pre-med frater-
nifty, and brother Harold Bloom
our newly initiated member OF
Beta Alpha Psi, national honor-
ary accounting fraternity. Delta's
BIT to the national defense pro-
gram lies in her ROTC officers,
with battalion adjutant Bloom and
Lieutenants S. Kaplan, S. Davis
B. Fuchs, and S. Rothstein. our
bid to varsity athletics lies with
varsity slugger Punchy Singer
and Jack Suberman, basketeer.
Delta's drive toward intramural
supremacy has started with a LOUD
echoing bang. It has resulted In
going to the finals in boxing ana
winning ping pong singles ana
ping pong doubles cups ana sne
coveted basketball trophy. Tooay
she ranks second in the intramural
race. Of the ten men picked Tor

Tobacco Scarce in Jupon

The almost complete cessation of
tobacco imports into Japan, coupled
with an increase of about per cent
in domestic consumption so far this
year, is reported to have brought
about a shortage of tobacco.

Truck Drivers of Burma Road
Chino's New PIutocrocy
Reckless Chouffeurs Add to High Wages
By Carrying 'Pidgn Cargo for Own Profit

seemed to have no regard for
Burmese territory in flying to their
Chinese objectives. At the other
side of the border lay the Chinese
town of Wanting, q community of
5000 people and hundreds of mat
shed houses where two years ago
there were not more than half a
dozen buildings.
When Japanese planes appear
over Wanting Git has never been
bombe6 there is a rush of Wan
ting's citizens to the Burma from
tier, where they sit complacently
on the Burma side of the white
cross until the danger is past. Such
is still the simple faith of some peo-
pie in the sanctity of international
boundary lines.
China's Costliest Disaster.
1t took us several hours to COM
plete customs and immigration for
malitieS at Wanting and we were
then allowed to push on through
hot tropical valleys to the little COL
lection of bamboo huts called Che
fang. Chinese don't like to talk
about Chefang. 1t was the scene,
early last year. of one of the costliest
disasters of the China war. Noun
tainS of munitions, trucked in at
great labor and cost and time from
Burma, had been stacked at Che
fang to await transportation deeper
into Tpiy,oic iY,tn,-inr c.
was the atmosphere that town
crier with a gong walked through
the streets every half hour warm
ing the population and visitors not
to smoke.
One day last spring Chefang was
suddenly wiped off the map-and in
the space of a few moments. A dull
warning explosion grew rapidly into
mighty, arth-shaking roar as the
ammunition dumps blew up almost
simultaneously. To this day, nobody
knows for sure what caused the
blast, but 1t is taken for granted that
saboteurs we're responsible. More
than 1000 tons of military materials
worth millions of dollars were de-
stroyed in the Chefang blowup.
That was terrible and expensive
lesson TO the Chinese. Since the
Chefang incident they no longer
concentrate their precious supplies
in a few big dumps. Now they put
them into many small boards scat
tered over widely-separated areas.
Chefang has been rebuilt, but the
town crier is no longer there-per-
haps no longer alive. Anyway, the
need for his services is past
AT MangShih, a region notorious
for its malaria mosquitoes, We did
not pause to pay our respects to the
Shan chieftain, moving on, instead
from the tropical lowlands over the
toughest and most curvaceous sec
tion of the Burma road, to the
mountain hamlet of Lungling.
There we rested, for on the follow
ing day we were to make the cross
ing of the Salween River.

RUNNING. Southwest China (Via
Clipper Il Travelled over the Burma
road in a small convoy OF trucks
destined for the British Embassy In
Chungking. Jim Bertram, acting
press attache for the Embassy, had
a spare seat in his pilot car" and
volunteered to take me along.
We spent five and a half days
covering the TIC miles from Lashio
to Running. Luckily, we had
equipped ourselves with camp cots
and some provisions, for Chinese
inns and rest houses along the way
were invariably jammed to over
flowing. Eating houses were usually
crowded to the last greasy table with
members of China'S new plutocracy
the truck drivers.
These Chinese chauffeurs are the
Burma roads most interesting phe-
nomenon and one of its gravest
problems. Adventurous, reckless
out to get-rich- quick -and-retire, the
drivers often earn incomes higher
than those paid to Chinese ministers
of state. The Burma road is, after
all, probably the worlds most
hazardous highway. not only because
OF the high percentage OF accidents
but because it passes through a zone
infested with malaria of a very
malignant type.
Plenty of Easy Money.
Regardless of good wages, the
Chinese drivers consider 1t their in
alienable right to make as much
money on the side by peddling gaso-
line and carrying "pidgin cargo" as
they can gracefully get away with.
They have a colorful vocabulary for
this illegitimate trade. A paying
passenger, for instance, is called a
yellow fish; gasoline, sold from
their own tanks for profit, Is re-
ferred to as white wine; other
pidgin cargo goes by the all-embrac-
ing term sugar"
To save gasoline SO that they will
have more to sell, the drivers think
nothing of coasting at breakneck
speed down steep declines. Many
accidents have been traced to this
cause. Some of the chauffeurs earn
as much as from 1900 to 1900
Chinese dollars monthly. Compare
that with the salary of China's For
eign Minister, who is paid $500 a
month (ChineSe), plus allowances.
Leaving Lashio, we checked out
with the Burma road control sta
tion-where official cargo is allotted
and truck departures regulated-and
started for the Chinese frontier, ia
miles away. That first stage of the
Burma road, through the sun
Drowned hills of Northern Burma,
was smooth and comfortable. At

nearby was for the benefit, we were
told, of Japanese planes which
