MOTHERS HEAR
NOTED REFUGEE
Madame Helene Granitsch,
‘Angel of Austria’, Guest
At Wednesday Tea Meet
Madame Helene Granitsch, an Aus¬
trian refugee, and former leader of
the Women’s Party in Austria, was
guest speaker last Wednesday at the
Portland Mother’s Club meeting in
Campus Commons.
Friend to Shussnig
Madame Granitsch, called the
"Angel of Austria”, was a personal
friend of Chancellor Kurt Shussnig,
and organizer of the labor movement
in Austria. It was on this account
that Hitler was after her and she
only escaped him by three houi-s
when making her withdrawal from
the country.
Madame Granitsch is preparing a
book on “60 Years in Europe Seen
Through a Woman’s Eyes”. Since she I
is one of the world’s leading advo- !
cates for woman suffrage, the book j
should be an authoritative account
of political Europe.
The guest speaker was introduced
by Margaret Pearson, companion to
Madame Granitsch and herself a
free-lance writer, many of whose
articles have appeared in “Colliers”.
Mrs. L. A. Creamer was tea hostess
and Mrs. E. H. Gallien and Mrs. J.
C. Hastings were in charge of the
tea tables.

LORENZ DECORATED AFTER MIDWAY BATTLE
The outstanding story of the week
is that of the heroism displayed by
Lieutenant John el’arc Lorenz, ex. '38,
during the Midway battle in which
his ship, the carrier “Yorktown”, was
lost. On November 30, he was
awarded the Navy Cross by the
Commanding Officer aboard the
ship on which he is now stationed.
The citation accompanying the
award stated that Lorenz, a gunnery
officer, had kept his anti-aircraft
battery going against the Jap planes
with the help of one man, all the
others being wounded. The young
officer returned to Portland in Aug¬
ust and was married to Delight
Theresa McHale of St. Paul.
Two most welcome visitors were
seen on the campus recently: En¬
sign Robert Fox. ’42, who had just
finished training in Columbia Uni¬
versity and who was on his way to
his new post in the Seattle Nava!
Sation; Quentin Stockdale, S, 2/cl.
who is employed at the Air Traffic
Control Tower at Pasco Air Base.
Ray Ruminski, ’40, a basketball
star of old. is a Seaman First Class,
working in the Aerology Department
of the Pasco Base.
Another former student is Flying
Instructor at the same base. Ensign
Elmer Ellis, who recently arrived
from the Corpus Christi Air Base.
Sam Cavalli, ex. ’42, complains
that he is getting tired of long dis¬
tance travelling, but sees variety
looming in the future. After a few
days' teaching of ju-jitsu at the
Chicago Navy Pier, he has been re¬
cently transferred to San Diego in
preparation to being transferred
across the Pacific Ocean to parts
unknown where he will instruct
Marines of the combat area in un¬
gentle but efficient handling of ob¬
streperous Japs.
Word has been received from En¬
sign Ray Jennings a tackle of two
