Ex-Marine Subdues Red Tape To Win Registration Derby

Finding the rigors of a Memorial Hall registration less hazardous than the shelling of Japs in their Guam entrenchments, Ellis Smith '46, an ex Marine, took just forty-five minutes to work his way through the mass of enrollment data Thursday, and thus was presented with a free subscription to the Crimson for the summer term.

Smith, who bore his laurels proudly but modestly, enlisted in the Marine Corps during his Freshman year in March 1943, and took part in the battle of Guam as a member of a Corps Artillery outfit. He was discharged as a corporal on April 7 of this year. The registration winner, a resident of Winthrop House and South Weymouth, and an Economics concentrator, is now also the possessor of Harvard badge of merit-a free copy of every Crimson to appear this summer.
