Ah. Ha. Mystery number one of
the last, week has been solved.*
Remember last week when a brief
item appeared in this column about;
the gentlehien (or'gentleman) who*
spelled I LOVE YOU in the snow ih<
front Of Ronan Hall? Well, the
gentlemEn was discovered. Yes, Mrs.'
Grace Niggeman, director of the
dormitory, caught the culprits in
the act. Discipline? Oh, no, army
discipline is handled only by the
sarge. And besides, wriat woman
could bring herself to disciplining'
soldiers?
My, oh, my! To fall back upon am
old pun—it's snow use! Central
students as well as Mt. Pleasant
residents are getting their share of
snow. Latest reports state that this
county has seen about 5% inches
of snow. If it keeps on snowing,
students will have to dig their way
to classes—or will they? Winter
sports seem to have hit a new high
last Saturday afternoon when students went to Cathedral woods to
partake in skiing, tobogganing, and"
other such delights. Oh, well, it
wouldn't be Michigan without snow.
Incidentally, students who earned
$500 a year during the past year
should be considering income tax.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Odds and ends . . . Warren William's pounding of a gavel against
a wood block while trying to get order in the morning psych and education class drove one senior male to
tears . . . "The world's coming to
an end, through so much snow,"
says Harry Miller . . . Speaking of
tears one is reminded of the sad
parts in "Letters to Lucerne" which
did their part in making eyes red
. . . One Central graduate now
in the service returned to the campus recently to state that he never
had seen this campus so low in
morale and dead in general . . .
Mary Jean Coon and"Doris Diegel
suffered leg injuries last Saturday
night when a' toboggan ran over
them. Both were on crutches for a
time . . . (censored) navy lads were
moved to Central early this week to
begin training in flying ... Where
are those free campus movies that
every one has beeri talking about. . .
Didja ever try to find a place to sit
in the Union during the noon hour
. . . What with J-hop time only a
matter of a couple of days, there is
still considerable argument as to
what to wear—on the part of the
males ... It won't be long now,
studes, so get busy. Remember those
EXAMS . . . Tune in next week at
this time, same station.
