Would you believe it? It was only
a week ago today that Central Michigan Life came off the presses bearing a brief statement. Since last
Wednesday the editor has been
pushed in every corner on the campus by persons who wished to know
what it is all about. Frankly, students of Central, the editor doesn't
know what it's all about. A week ago
last Monday a person (mentioning
neither female or male) walked into
the publications office and asked
that the statement be placed in the
paper. The linotypists at the local
print establishment got mixed up
and printed too many lines. It was
then up to the editor to see that no
lead was wasted. The same thing
happened this week. You just can't
waste lead in time of war. So friends
keep your chin up and Take a last
look, girls!
Central, Inc. received its initial
trial Sunday and Monday of this
week. It was successful in some
cases. However, the students of Central who failed to notify the faculty
member in whose home they were
supposed to visit need a good tongue
lashing. After all, the capital letters
on the invitations which said
R.S.V.P. are important on any invitation. Believe it or not, those letters
have a meaning. Briefly they mean,
respond if you please. That doesn't
mean to forget the whole matter. It
doesn't make any difference whether
one accepts the invitation as long as
he notifies the host. So think a bit
next time you receive an invitation
and R.S.V.P.
Want to contribute a penny to
help send two girls to a friend's
home in the near future? Yes, it's a
new method of getting expenses.
There's a thing called rationing
which refuses people the right to use
their cars for pleasure driving.
Therefore, there is a shortage of cars
on the road which does not help
hitch hikers. In order to get home'

or to visit one must go by bus. In
order to take the bus you must have
money. In order to get money you
must work or ask for contributions.
Which would you choose? That's
right, contributions. That's exactly
what three Ronanites are doing in
order to get the three of them to one
of the girl's home for a weekend.
Clever and very inexpensive. ||
Since the government forbids the
publication of weather reports it is
not proper to say how cold it is.
However, when the photographers
arrived this week to take pictures for
the college annual, Chippewa, it took
them 30 minutes to thaw out the
camera. Draw your own conclusions.
It is here that Central Michigan
Life would like to kill the wild rumor
that girls on the campus are going
to foe shoved out of the dormitories
when and if Central gets a naval
unit. The truth of the matter is that
there will be no mdving the girls out,
at least during the present semester.
Also other wild rumors of this sort
concerning the unit are entirely out
• of line. Please, friends, believe nothing that you hear unless it is from a
reliable source.
