National election is compared to a large survey The upcoming national election can be compared with a large na- tional survey with one major differ- ence. Your vote combined with oth- ers will determine the political party, the elected individuals and the political philosophy for the next few years. But 4s a large segment of the population becomes apathetic and be- lieves it really has no say, then that population is in grave danger f losing its form of government and imately its freedom. You need only to read your his- tory books to realize this is true. Catalog is clarified "Exchange Catalog '81" is the correct name of the mail order cata- log.

The celebration was held at the Glacier Hut with a cake cutting ceremony. The Hospital Corps came into ex- istence as an organized unit of the Medical Department under the provi- sions of an act of Congress, approv- ed June 17, 1898. During World War I, the reputa- tion of the Hospital Corps for per- formance of duty, especially in the field with the Marine Corps, was greatly enhanced. Many of the mem- bers were cited for valor and per- formance of duty under fire, by both the United States and France. From the period of World War I to World War II, the Hospital Corps be- came one of the outstanding corps of the military services. More schools were provided, qualifications for advancement in ratings were raised, and a high degree of technical skill and knowledge was demonstrated by all members of the corps. The mission of the Hospital Corps is to give on land, sea, and in the air, intelligent, capable, and effi- cient assistance to Medical, Dental, Medical Service, Nurse, and Hospital Corps officers in the eternal war a- gainst disease, injury, and death, and to aid in maintaining the supply and administrative functions of the supportive branches of the Medical Department. This complex mission requires from each member of the Hospital Corps a versatility neither demanded nor expected of other enlisted rat- ings in the Navy.
