Central's football team   has   just
completed an undefeated and untied
football season. However, the Chippewas have not received the attention from state newspapers that
they deserve. Maybe a few letters to
various sports editors throughout
the state would wake up the state.
Central has had a great season. It's
worth shouting about. So let's shout!
It was recently brought to the
columnists' attention that Ronan
Hall has three Dorothy's working
there. Not to be outdone is Sloan
Hall- The Sloan office reports four
Margarets. The Dorothy's include
Kelly, Bender and Malany. Sloan
Margaret's include, Longren, Newman, Blum and Rayburn.
Eddie Hole is getting   the   home
atmosphere early. Last Friday night
he was seen sitting in Keeler Union
lobby gracefully holding the yarn for
Kathryn Barnes as she wound it into
a ball. One could say that that is
some yam. Yawn!
If any one is interested in learning
the art of running around the track
in the gymnasium, he should Consult
with Henry Kezlarian. 'Hank' practices this program almost every day
as a special part of his physical hardening program. The lad from Royal
Oak has Danny Rose to thank for
his extra ability. Danny uses this
method of disciplining Henry. It's
beginning to work.
The President's office announced
yesterday that the college will close
for Thanksgiving vacation on Wednesday noon as in the past. Because
of transportation problems some of
the other Michigan colleges have
abandoned the usual holiday vacation.
Lecture course reservations must
be made on Saturday, November 14.
The General Office doors will be
opened at 9 a. m. At this time students and faculty and townspeople
will be given slips of paper with
numbers. Each piece of paper will
state the time that the person may
return to reserve tickets. One person
may reserve as many as four tickets.
The first star to be placed on the
College Victory Loan Fund service
flag will be in honor of Pvt. Edwin
Ellis. Pvt. Ellis is now. stationed at
Fort Custer. He was formerly the
editor of Life. He was also an instructor of journalism until his in-
■duction in July. The star was purchased by Dr. E. J. Merrill of the
chemistry department.
All students who have signed
pledge cards for the Victory Loan
Fund are urged to pay pledges as
soon as possible. It is possible to pay
pledges in advance. The college has
pledged over $2,000. This amount
does not include donations from organizations or faculty. Faculty are
also to be reminded that pledges are
payable. Students and faculty members who have not signed a pledge
card may do so in the General
Office.
A brief, but hurried survey of the
student directory reveals the following interesting item. Mary is the
most popular name on the campus.
29 girls possess that name while 28
possess the title Betty and 26 own
the name Dorothy. As for the men
Robert is first. There are 24 Bob's on
this campus; 19 Bill's and 10 Dick's.
The faculty names list four Charles
and three George's. Helen and Alice
lead the feminine side of the faculty
with three apiece. As for last names,
the name Smith is most prominent.
Eight students bear that name.
Miller, Peterson, and Williams are
represented foy six students- Johnson is carried by five students.

MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1943
NUMBER 6
Anniversary Program Ends Sunday
Central Michigan College is celebrating
its Fiftieth Anniversary this year. The
activities of the week have been planned
to center around the beginning of the institution as a private college. The Golden
Jubilee, which we will celebrate in 1945,
will have as its theme the college as a
state institution. It is fitting because of
the war situation, that we should celebrate locally and it is the hope that we
can celebrate nationally in 1945. We all
pray that the war will be over by that
date and our Golden Jubilee will serve
two purposes: First, the celebration of
fifty years of glorious history and second,
the end of a world conflict which we hope
will usher in a better day.
I am quite certain the students will enjoy the historical display in the foyer of
Warriner Hall. Some very interesting pictures, books and printed materials have
been collected by Dr. Maybee and other
members of the Committee on Golden
Jubilee. As ■ one looks at the pictures,
, sketches and the materials, he is impressed with the fact that Central I
igan has had a steady and consistent
growth. Fortunately, she has not had any
serious reverses but has been permitted
to carry her work forward in a manner
which has contributed not only to her
own development, but to the general advance of the state of Michigan. Her
sons and daughters are located in responsible positions all over the State, with the
result that her influence is felt in every
corner of the State.
It is also of interest to know that we
have received not only congratulations on
our fifty years of constructive progress,
but we also have been encouraged to look
to the future with hope.   If we fail to
build on the sacrifices, efforts and work
of those who have been intimately associated with this college for the last fifty
years,   we  are  negligent  and  are  not
worthy of the positions to which we have
been called.    It is ours to promote* to
continue and to build.   All of us, students
and faculty,  must  solemnly pledge  to
carry-on the noble work begun in 1892—
"We can do no less." Br„ Charles Anspach

Business Institute," President.
Charles L. Anspach's address
