FORMER CROSBY
 STUDENTS NAMED
Gordon C. Dubuque, Leon. ard InsOgna Pledged By
 Columbia U. Fraternity

Gordon c. Dubuque of 165 Tracy avenue and Leonard 1nsogna of 645 Wilson strete were among the 200 students pledged by IS fraterniteis at Columbia College, mems under- graduate school of Columbia Uni- versity, New York city.
 Fraternities have played an im- portant part in the activities of the College since 1886, when Alpha Delta Phi was founded on the Morning side Heights campus. The societies have their own leagues in the vari- ous intramural programs of the col- lege, and they compete annually for the Aulick- Johnson trophy, which is presented to the chapter foremost in athletics, scholarship, and extra curricular activities.
 Dubuque and Isogna have both be- come affiliated with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the largest college frater- nity in the nation. The Columbia chapter, which was founded in 1895 last year won the Aulick-J Johnson award for its outstanding record.
 Dubuque, a freshman, is already making his mark in extra-c -curricu- lar activities on the upper Manhat- tan campus as freshman chair man of the colleges war stamp drive. Insogna, sophomore, is a member of the Columbia wrestling team and last year was awarded class numerals for his efforts on the freshman wrestling squad. Both men attended Crosby high school before coming to Columbia.

Recruitment of student nurses is being intensified. As December 7 marks the beginning of our second wear at war, 1t is a logical time to take inventory of nurses war eI- forts to date, and find ways 70 strengthen them.
 Miss Agnes K. Ohlson, chairman of the Committee to Recruit Student Nurses, said that nurses are waging war by:
 ID Enrolling graduate registered nurses fin the First Reserve ot the American Red Cross for assign ment to the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
 (2) Building up student enroll ment fin the schools of nursing.
 (3) Mobilizing nurses for civiiian defense.
 (4 Encouraging retired nurses to take "refresher" courses and re- turn to active duty flor the dura- tion."
 we know exactly where we stand an the enrolment of new students" !" said Miss Ohlson, flor a study Just made by the National League oI Nursing Education shows that 37 355 enrolled in the summer and fall classes. Nearly 10 per cent over the same period last year, the number should make up happy if 1t were not for the fact that 25 per cent in- creases is necessary to reach the gov- ernment- estimated quota of 55,OOO new students this year.
 We are far behind schedule, ana our last chance to reach our na- tional goal is through enrolling IT, 635 students in mid-term classes that normally have only about 4,OOO. Last year, under the impetus of the Japanese treachery, we increased the number of student nurses in January and February to 10000. Nearly doubling this number again will re- uuire the most earnest cooperation between the schools and the nursing profession, and a great deal Of help from the public as we'll
 The state of Connecticut had quota of l.067 students for the year, and has enrolled 7l6. That means at least 351 more must be enrolled at the mid-term period in January and February l943.
 "The nation must not fail to start 55 GOO well qualified young women on their nursing educations next year, because, if the war goes on, we must increase the number the following year to 65,000.'
 This years estimate was arrived at by a careful check of probable needs. The nation faced serious nursing shortage even before the Japs blitzed our Far Eastern bases. Immediately thereafter the Army and Navy Nurse Corps commenced building up their nursing services, and their number of nurses must be increased in proportion to the ex- pansion of the military forces. The army is now asking that 5000 nurses sign for service each month: Con- necticut must supply 70 of these.
 Inactive nurses are returning to work to help out in the emergency" said Miss Ohlson, "and Red Gross Aides. volunteers, and other types of auxiliary workers are proving

SEEKS RULING ON
 MILK co. STATUS
Two Actions Filed in Hart. ford Court By State Milk
 Administrator

Two suits. one against the Borden Company and the other against the Spring Brook Dairy, Inc, of New ington, have been filed in the Hart ford County Superior Court by the Office of the Sta.c Milk Adninis- trator, according to the Adminis- trator's monthly Market Bulletin.
 The suit against the Borden Company seeks to establish re- sponsibility of the companys New Canaan plant to comply with regu- lations of the Milk Administrator. Because the plant ships to the New York market. it is under Federal regulation. The Administrator con- tends, however, that the fact the plant also ships milk to Connecticut brings it under state control as well.
 If the Administrator is success full, the Borden Company will be obliged to pay some 135 Connecti- cut producers about S35,000, repre- senting alleged underpayments that have accrued since the institution of Price Order No. l i'll October, 1941.
 Tn the Spring Brook case, Kent Stoddard, proprietor is accused ot underpaying producers by S3,426 for the months of December, 1941 through May, 1942. The court ac- tion seeks an order requiring him to pay this amount.
 The Market Bulletin, appearing this month for the first time in printed form, also carried an article by Milk Administrator D. O. Ham, merberg in which he expresses ap- prehension over the number oi producer dealers who have given up producing milk to become merchant dealers.
 Tt is imperative" the Adminis trator says, that we realize first that this trend is contrary to the public interest in time of war, and second, that all measures short oi legal prohibition should be taken to reverse this trend
 The Bulletin reports that the state average price for October rep resented a cents per hundred weight increase from the Septembei price and 32 cents per hundred weight increase from the state average for October a year ago.

 The priests refused to do the Japanese bidding. he said. and tolo the Japanese that they were not concerned with political matters The missionaries were allowed to return to their station, but the Jap areSe returned 10 days later and forced the two priests and two nuns 10 return with them to their head quarters.
 Father Ge Theye said the Japa- neSe again apparently ordered the priests to carry the message. but the priests again refused. The mis- Ssocaries then were killed.
 Sister EGmee. who had been ill was permitted to remain at the mission. Accompanied by natives at the mission. she escaped into the jungle. A party of 3l missionaries nursing sisters and plantation man. agers with their children arrived al GuaGaIcanal today by beat iron Ma,aita. 40 miles northeast.
