NUMBER 1
Yarn on Central
Told at Assembly
Dr. David M. Trout, dean of students, was the main speaker at this
year's first general assembly, Tuesday, September- 23.
The program began with the
singing of songs, led by John Gregory and accompanied by Elaine
Kumfoier. The words to Central's
fight ^sohg and Alma Mater were
projected on the screen to enable
the new students to learn <them.
"Down By the Old Mill Stream"
and "In the Evening by the Moonlight" also received the full benefit
of the approximately 600 students
who attended.
Dr.  Judson  W.  Foust,  assistant
to  the president,  introduced Dick
-Eccles who made an announcement
concerning   intermural   sports   for
the men of this campus. . „
Some facts about Central and
its regulations were the main theme
of Dr. Trout's talk. The top enrollment mark has-been made this
year with the 2100 to 2200 students
taking classes, on this campus. The
women, are living in somewhat
crowded conditions, and the veterans have roofs over their heads,
at least.
' Last year about 59% of the total
enrollment was men. and 41% women. These figures have not changr
ed. to a great extent, except for a
few additional somen in the fresh-.
man class. There were representatives from 23 states, 5 foreign countries and 2 island territories of the
XJ. S. on campus last year, and 18%
•of the student body was married. '
With the announcement that the
next assembly .will be Monday, September 29, with President Anspach
as speaVer, Dr. Foust dismissed the
assembly.

to thai Question
Where are the 'CHIPPiESWAS?
This question in infinite variety
of forms, sometimes accompanied
by sundry' epitheets, has been
plagueing. Mr. Ivan D. Cole, public
cations jadviser, all summer and
still does.
It's a fair question, he says, and
one. easily,answered. Tre CHIJPPE-
WAS are still at the printers waiting to be printed. Mr. Cole hopes
the yearbook will be ready for distribution early in November,
Reason for the great delay in the
printing of the college yearbook,
according -to- the' adviser, is twofold. Fh'st, the 1947 s{"aff was somewhat late in getting copy to the
printer. This may have delayed
printing schedules to some extent.
But'the chief reason is that the
yearbook, printer for 1947 is also
the official printer for the State of
Michigan-. All legislative printing
must take precedence over other
material, and there, has been an
unusual amount of legislative
printing to be done this year.
When they arrive, the OKEPPE-
WAS will be distributed to the students on campus, and will toe mailed to students who have left school.
