The editor wishes to thank all the
men in the armed services who have
written to him. However, because of
lack of time it is impossible for him
to answer every letter. Therefore,
to you men in the army, navy, marines and other armed branches,
thanks a million. Your letters have
been passed to many of the students
and many replies will come from
them.
It seems that Mrs. Norvall C.
Bovee. would get all the sitting
exercises she needs :.o the president's
secretary. However, this must not be
the case. Last Thursday night Mrs.
Bpvee excused herself from the dinner table. This was at 6:30 p. m. At
6:45 she was discovered sitting with
Miss Henrietta Kaminske, secretary
in the Extension Department, in the
fifth row of the auditorium. Why?
The seats for the production,
"Double Doors", were not reserved.
The ladies were merely insuring
themselves, Mr. Bovee and the
Anspachs of/a seat. Oh yes, pillows
softened the wait.
The Joint Army - Navy - Marine
Procurement Board is now enlisting
men for armed services. The Board
is set up in J"e recreation rooms of
Sloan Hall today.
Those funny little persons wearing
long dunce caps and sucking lollie
pops last Tuesday morning in Keeler
Union were students who attend this
school and not "trusties" from any
other institution. They were members of the Psychology and Education classes. They were enjoying a
"hell-day". Included in the program
was a one act melodrama entitled
"She was only a baker's dotter" or
"A Friend in Knead Larnin'". In
the cast were such characters as
Rank Smeeth, Large Dooz, Sherwood
(Who's Who for three dollars)
Evans, Wess Chesty, Pill Hendrickson, Petty Greed. Norman Johnston
presented his manuscript, "Thu-
lism".

Chippewas Announce
Most Valuable Man
Warren Schmakel, Toledo senior,
and Don Provencher, Traverse City
senior, were named as co-captains
of the undefeated, untied Central
Michigan gridiron Chippewas at a
special election meeting last week.
Harold Kaczynski, a junior from
Flint, was named the most valuable
player foy his teammates.
Schmakel, shifted from the backfield at the beginning of the season, has stood out in every game
at his guard position. In 1941 the
Toledo player was a blocking back.
He played a total of 24. quarters.
Provencher starred many times during the past season. He missed only
the Ball State game. This was because of injuries. He was an end.
Kaczynski's hard-driving line
plunges constantly kept Central in
scoring positions. He excelled in his
running and punting abilities. He
scored five touchdowns in the first
three games. However, he failed to
score in the final three contests. As1
a result of this scoring punch in the
early part of the season he is one
of the state's leading scorers. He
played fullback. He also played 24
quarters'.
