Lynch of 8 N. 29th St., was named soldier of the quarter for the Fifth U. S. Army at Ft. Sheridan, 111.

Army's Headquarters, entered the Army in November, 1966. He is a 1961 graduate of Jefferson high school. Washington, B.C. June 10, 1967 — Through the unequalled news-gathering facilities of one of the country's great metropolitan newspapers, your reporter was fortunate enough to get the above advance copy of one of the most newsworthy events of the twentieth century. The story is reminiscent of that of a simple country boy from a humble home in Abilene, Kansas, going to the United States Military Academy, climbing through the ranks to become Supreme Com mander, Allied Forces in Europe, and later. President of the United States. Yes, Like Dwight D. Eisenhower, Charles G. Lynch rose from limited noteriety in little Lafayette, Indiana, matriculated as a froggie in the Halls of Lambda Iota, worked diligently to achieve the rank of Private, U. S. Army, and has just been named Soldier of the Century. Messages of congratulation from all corners of the globe are being heaped upon Private Lynch. We all have heard those stories about what a wonderful insti tution the U. S. Army truly is. Like one of its counterparts, it must "build men" — just look at the material it started with in this case! Could it be that this is the same roly-poly guy who occasion ally visited 640 Russell and became somewhat famous for stunts like 'skivvy' wrestling matches, going on stage with the glee club wearing a boutonniere and bow tie made of toilet paper and - - - written on the palm of his white glove, performing the lyrics of "Ahab the Arab" (incidentally that great world peacemaker and fellow Arab, Pres. Nasser has shipped Clyde the Camel to Private Lynch as a gift in honor of his recent award), and being uncere moniously lowered into a tub of icewater while without his trousers? The rehabilitation of such a perverted mind is almost enough to make one a believer. In pursuance of the highest standards of excellence in news repoi'ting, your reporter has placed an urgent wire to the Pentagon questioning the authenticity of this report. Any further develop ments will be published at once. If true, this report is unquestion ably THE news story of the century! by Roger Parkhurst Fiji All-American Dan Milne, Purdue's All-American swimmer, will be attempting' to qual ify for the Olympics this summer.
