              Veteran Basketball Squad
Opens with Normal Tuesday
Central's varsity basketball
team, heavily fortified with veterans from last year's wbaning
squad, opens a 16 game schedule
Tuesday with a home engagement against Michigan Normal.
Starting time is 7:30 p.m.
The campaign will continue
in full swing following ihe Normal game,  as the Chips face
Soo   Tech.   December   1.   and
Western   Michigan's   Broncos,
Saturday, December   10. Both
are home games.
Coach Danny Rose has a likely
starting lineup of Captain John
Parfitt   and   Jack   Scott   at  the
guards, Al Barnett at center, and
Lyle McDonnell and Jim Doyle
at  forwards.   These   performers
were largely responsible for Central's 15-1 record last season,
which surpassed all other collegiate quintets in the nation
from the standpoint of games
lost.
The Chips defeated Normal
twice last year by scores of 60-43
and 68-58, but this contest figures
to be no set up as the Hurons are
improved and rate as one of Central's toughest rivals through the
years.
The freshman squad opens its
season against Art's Cleaners of
Midland in a preliminary to the
Soo Tech game. The frosh also
tangle with Western's freshmen
here December 10.

Special Edition
This is a special edition
of LIFE. Generally there is
no edition of the paper immediately following a vacation, but the editors feel
that this is the time when
the paper is most needed.
Since most pf the material had to be written at
least a week in advance
the paper does not contain
complete campus coverage.
The editors have endeavored to pick out the articles
which they feel must appear at this time, but they
have been limited by lack
of space.

Student Senate committee composed of Pres. Lee Scott, Sen.
Bob Van Ocker (junior), Sen. Ed

Pres. Warren Sarley.
Pres. C. L. Anspach has voiced
approval of the idea, as has Dr.
C. C. Richtmeyer and Dr. Judson
W. Foust. The president has told
the Senate to submit a plan
which can be taken up by the
Faculty Senate.
A proposal for February

Anspach. acted as pallbearers
and honorary pallbearers. Burial was in Riverside Cemeiary.
Mrs.  Wheeler had been very
active, not only in college and
faculty wives' affairs, but also in
civic and church work, until illness forced her to stop.
At the state convention of the
Child Study Club here last month
Mrs. Wheeler was honored as the
author of the initiatory service
now used by the state organization. She wrote it while president
of the local club. She had also
been active in the Mt. Pleasant
Women's Club, serving as chairman of its Home and Garden Division. She was a member of
First Methodist Church and had

work in connection with the
church.

Wheeler   was   a   graduate   of
Central Michigan  College, receiving her Life Certificate in
August, 1916. They were married in ihe same month  and
since  have  made  their  home
almost continuously on a farm
near Mi. Pleasant. Through her
three sons, George Jr., Richard
P., and James W., all of whom
were graduated from Central,
Mrs.  Wheeler came  to   know
and  io  be  loved  by  many
groups of Central students.
Besides her husband and three
sons,  Mjrs. Wheeler is  survived
by three grandchildren; a sister,
Mrs. Ora Oakes of Ann Arbor;
and two brothers, Edwin Pope,
and Pearl P. Pope, both of Mt.

In the famous comedy, Fan-
court Bobberly impersonates
Charley's Aunt, who does not
arrive from Brazil as expected,
and is chaperone for Charles
Wykeham (Gene Courter) and
Jack Chesney (Gil Roberts, Mt.
Pleasant senior) and their sweethearts (Jo Ellis, Saginaw senior
and Dorothy Dugal, Traverse
City graduate student) at a
luncheon in Charley's room at
Oxford.
Charley's "aunt," who Is supposedly wealthy, is ardently
courted by ihe Oxford solicitor.
Charley's "aunt" is hardly an
auni and has many humorous
difficulties.
The three-act comedy, which
is really a well-dressed farce,
should provide an evening of
worthwhile   entertainment,
