Petty Officer Fred H. Cook of North Lake came home last night with a limp he bears as a reminder of wounds which a Navy citation said he received "heroically defending his station under fire and successfully destroying an enemy plane at Guadalcanal Nov. 13." Mr. Cook, who is 41 years of age and served as a ship's cook in the First World War, is seen as he was greeted at the New York Central station here by his wife and son, Raymond. A second son, Robert, also is in the Navy, attending a torpedo school at San Diego, Calif. Before coming home Petty Officer Cook was confined in a naval hospital at Corona, Calif for several weeks.

Grim and determined looking, men of the University ROTC start up the long hill at the New York Central station, headed for the University campus. The men returned unannounced yesterday afternoon after a nine-day stay at Fort Custer for indoctrination and induction into the United States Army. This is the first time in the history of the University that students have been ordered from the campus as civilians, and have been returned, under military discipline, to the campus a few days later, equipped with full battle-dress, including steel helmets. While completing their studies on campus, the soldiers will live in barracks, under strict military orders. (Story on page 5.)
