Wounded Canadian Commando Calls Glider Duty 'Routine’
“Just routine,” replied Charles Dawson when he was asked to tell something of his duties while ill service overseas, but if being attached to the No. 2 British Commando group, serving with the Glider Air-Borne troops, transporting men and material to enemy territory, and getting wounded in the leg from bomb shrapnel comes under the heading of “routine,” then Mr. Webster, you had better change your definition.
Although Charles has lived in Miami most of his life, he is a British subject, having been born in Vancouver, British Columbia. In the latter part of 1941, he went to Canada and enlisted in the Royal Canadian artillery. At first he was a dispatch rider, then he instructed motorcycle troops before going overseas. When he was shipped to England, he was transferred to the British No. 2 Commando group in the Glider Air-Borne division of Combined Operations. It was his job to
transport shock troops to unnamed eneftiy territory.
Wher; Charles was asked how he received his wound, he just said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“I was riding my motorcycle one da;- at a land base operating out of England when a bomb was dropped. The shrapnel got me in the leg and threw me clear off my motor.”
While he was in the hospital recovering from his leg wound he became very friendly with Lady Astor, on whose estate the hospital was situated. Lady Astor was born in West Virginia and both she and Charles enjoyed talking about “home.”
Chanes was discharged on June ■16 and at present is enjoying the status *of a special student here at the University. His plans for the fu.ure are vague. First he wants to finish his education and then seme day intends to go to South America.
“I’ve got an idea I might like it, ’ says Charles.

Library Rulings Provide Basis For Misplaced Student Gossip
There have been nasty rumors circulating that University of Miami students are not being “done right” by the school library. These tales cite the facts that we may not take home reserved books except at 9:15 at night or a 4:00 in the afternoon; that we are prohibited from browsing about where the books are kept; and that girls are not permitted in the library at night.
First of all, the reason that some books are put on reserve is because there are not enough of them to accommodate the entire student body. Students, as we well know, wait ‘till the last moment before doing required research. It is for our protection that reserved books are not allowed to leave the library until closing time and must be brought back at nine in the morning. This is the only way you can walk into the library at the zero hour and find the book you need.
Secondly, students are prohibited from browsing about among the books because of a law that University of Miami library officials did not legislate—a law of physics which says something to the effect that two bodies cannot occupy the same spot at the same time. If a goodly portion of the student body roamed through the stacks at random the reading matter would look like a Victory salvage pile. (For verification take a look at some of the reference books that have been available to the students right along.)
, Lastly, the dorm girls are not allowed in the library at night because in*that place at that time there has been too much with the eyes that did not deal with reading.
" So let’s back library rules because they are protecting, not confining. It’s the same old story in all society, as University students should know, that the individual occasionally has to give 1ft a Ettle so that thete will always be something left for him to get.
