By Henry Smith
Students who failed to attend the
student pep rally at Alumni Field
last Friday night missed probably
the best pep meeting here in years.
An applause meter (meaning Dr.
E. C. Beck arid Dr. Judson Poust)
carefully weighed each yell to determine the winner of a contest for the
the most noise. The winning group
was Ronan Hall. The hall won "a
prize which nobody wants—the
bird," according to Dr. Beck. Short
talks by Ron Pinch, Doc Sweeney,
John Evans, and Chet Potter completed the evening's program.
Wanted: The persons or person
who walked away with a plant in
the lobby of the boys dormitory and
a vase containing flowers last
Saturday night. No questions will be
asked if the articles are returned.
All students are urged to attend
a special assembly Friday at 10 a. m.
in the auditorium. The assembly
will consist of music and a short
pep meeting for the Wayne game on
the same night.
Danny Rose takes his life in his
own hands when he asks his five
o'clock physical hardening class to
play a push bail game with their
feet. The object of the game as
played in the gym recently is to
keep the ball (about the size of a
basketball) off the floor by using
the feet only. This requires that the
players foe lying on their backs and
kicking at the ball. This wasn't so
bad but when Danny had to get
into the center of the floor to put
the hall in play the matter
changed.. He immediately was
swarmed by the legs of about 50
men. Danny now stays on the sidelines and allows the boys to throw
their own ball into play.
Speaking of physical hardening,
Harvey "Doc" Silvert reminded Life
last week of a grave error. Doc says
that the stiffness has not left hj£
joints yet. So sollee, Doc!

Chippewa Editor
Announces Staff
Arlene Hopkins States That
50th Anniversary Will Be
Theme of Yearbook.
Preliminary plans, including staff
placements, for the 1943 Chippewa,
college yearbook, have been completed according to an announcement made Monday by Arlene Hopkins, editor.
The staff includes' Ann Gidilewich,
assistant editor; Bob Griffin, promotion manager and sports editor;
Mary Jean Coon, Greeks; Don Fingleton, professional clubs; Andre Du
Fresne, faculty; Kathryn Wirth,
senior statistics; Bob McCabe, Beth
Booth, Norm Johnston, Anna Mary
Kane, and Leona Lantz, features.
Additions and changes will be made
to the staff during the year.
The 1943 Chippewa will follow
the theme of the 50th anniversary
of Central Michigan College. Sometime before Christmas there will be
a Chippewa Assembly, headed by
Bob Griffin, to acquaint new Cen-
tralites with the annual, its' purpose
and place in campus life.
Miss Hopkins added that because
of government priorities on many
materials essential to producing a
yearbook, the 1943 Chippewa will
possibly be the last one for the
duration, and for that reason students should plan now to purchase
this year's annual.
The three restaurants will serve
poultry, eggs, fish, and other meat
substitutes' if the plan is accepted.
The Council selected Friday because
that day seemed most favorable. At
the same time, Council members
stated that there would be no way
to check up on coffee drinkers but
that it was hoped that all students
and faculty cooperate with the plan
by drinking but one cup a day. Government orders' on this set-up will
come later.

many persons. It will be election day. Not only will national voting polls be open
but Central Michigan College
students will be conducting
an election here on the campus. It will be an important
election. Important offices are
at stake. Therefore, careful
consideration should be given
the polls. EVERY STUDENT
SHOULD VOTE. Need the.

that right—the right of selecting your own officers.

p. m. Urge your friends to
vote. It makes no difference
for whom you cast your ballot. BUT VOTE! Let's have
everyone out to the polls!
Why let the minority rule?
Be a leader! ..VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3!—H.H.S.
