Word has come from the office
of Dean C. C. Barnes that Tau Alpha Upsilon has donated proceeds
from the Homecoming parade to the
Victory Loan Fund. The fraternity
thus became the first organization
to donate for the newly organized
plan. The amount turned over to
the fund by the frat was raised by
selling a "patent medicine" (embalming fluid—but not really) to
Homecomers from the float. The
float was designed as medicine show
of the "Gay Nineties."
After noticing last week that this
column asked someone to return the
plant taken from the boys dorm,
Mrs. Jesse Thorpe, college nurse,
requested of the writer that he put
in a notice about missing objects
in front of the Health Service.
Therefore, will anyone knowing the
whereabouts of two "dummy" football players please notify Mrs.
Thorpe?
Girls'in Ronan Hall will give up
their beds next Tuesday night so
that male members of the Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra will have a
place to sleep on that night. The
orchestra will arrive in Mt. Pleasant by bus and will stay over until
Wednesday morning. The residents
of Ronan Hall will find other sleeping quarters for the night.
True "war spirit" is found in the
sign now occupying the space above
the door of 217 in Keeler Union.
The room formerly occupied by
Galen "Butch" Blaylock and Art
Laffery how bears the brief notice
"GONE TO WAR. BE BACK IN
THREE MONTHS." Central students hope Blaylock and Laffery
have expressed the truth.
Jerry Foley, one of Central's ace
tumblers, is reported to be rapidly
working his way to the top as a
great American novelist. Told that
his themes must vary in content,
he wrote short stories in the following-order: (1) a youth who was
ejected from kindergarten for shaving in class; (2) how to care for
canaries; and (3) relation of Fitch
to the bald-eagle.
Central men had the opportunity
recently of seeing a women without
"war paint." As a "must" for their
initiation, which was imposed by
upperclassmen, freshmen girls were
requested to attend classes for two
days without make-up. They were
also required to leave hair-dos
alone.
Several girls in Ronan Hall were
hiding red faces recently- It seems
that a soldier appeared in a nice,
clean uniform. Clustering in small
groups and whispering among themselves they stared a bit too much.
After a few moments the soldier remarked, "Whattsa matter, girls?
Does my slip show?" For once a
man got in the last word.
There will be am assembly for all
college women this Friday at 10 a.
m. in the auditorium.

Kurt Becker, a democrat, defeated the Independent candidate
Prank &eger'for the office of vice-
president of the Men's Union. Becker's margin was .87 to 48. Senior
class elections saw the democrats
win two major offices. Betty Jane
Read (D) was chosen president over
Helen Varnum (I) by. a 60 to 40
margin. Tom Harris, another Democrat, received the vice-president's
office over Leona Lantz (I) by a
close margin of six votes, 57-51. The
Independents swept the secretary
and treasurer offices as1 Nan McNamara defeated Dorothy Malany
and Dorothy Procissi won over
James Gay. The McNamara margin
was 77-31. Procissi won by a 62-46
margin.
Junior Officers
The Democrats swept every office
in the Juniors class. Bob McCabe
won over Jean Cooper by six votes',
48-42: Irene Butkowski and Albert
Craighead took over the vice-president ,and secretary offices without
opponets. Irene received 81 votes
and Craighead received 78. Joan
Dillon defeated Eleanor James for

Bob Wardrop (I) defeated Mary
Jean Coon" (D) for the president of
the sophomore class. The margin
was 69-36. Bruce Gorte (D) was defeated by Virginia Fedcke (I) for
the vice-presidehtal office. Frances
Mewmaw (D) won a three vote
margin over Betty. Ruetz (I), 59-56.
Ann Gidilewich was unopposed.for
the treasurer's office. She received.
90 votes.
Low Vote Total
The vote was the lowest total
number ever cast on Central's campus. Only 334 studentsi went to the'
polls. This low vote may be due to
two factors: (1) no student political
rally, and (2) no freshmen officers
were chosen. No student political
rally was held because the two
party leaders felt it a waste of time
to sponsor such a plan. Usually
only 25 or 30 persons turn out to
hear candidates speak, was the
opinion of the leaders. As for the
freshmen vote, the freshmen on the
most part did not understand that
they were allowed to vote for the
Student Council and Men's Union
officers. Therefore they did not exercise that privilege.
