An investigation of the facts disclosed the surprising figures which prove that these kinds of "mistakes" are on the decline. According' to figures released by Lieut, (j.g) Paul T. Sprinz, USNE, public relations officer, Dan Cupid is slowly putting away his arrows for the duration. When the first class of some 1,200 ensigns was graduated in January 1943, more than 500 made marriage the next order of business. By the time the sec­ ond class finished in May, the number of marrying ensigTis was reduced to 400, and the third class last September pro­ duced only 152 marriages. . ^m Even that low figure is large by com­ parison with the 30 members of this fourth midshipmen's class of 1,170 men which received commissions.
