By Henry Smith
Want your laundry mailed, your
clothes pressed, a button sewed on,
your bed made or your boy friend
minded? If so, be sure to contact any
member of the home economics club.
Why? Because this club has discovered a novel way of earning
money for the Jane McNinch award.
Any of the above programs will be
carried out for a small fee. For instance, one of the girls will mail
laundry bags for a small fee of 25
cents. This includes postage. Therefore, the girl makes about six or
seven cents. Incidentally, the club is
divided into two groups which presents a little competition in securing
the money.
Haircut, bo? "No, tanks." Central
men have hit upon a new fad. Yup,
you guessed it. Brush haircuts. It all
started with a few and has spread

campus. Don't get excited, girls. Men
with brush cuts are better than no
men at all.

to be an all-male chorus show-

knocked out of the war by air power?"
"Yes," says Major Alexander P.
de Seversky, author of "Victory
Through Air Power," who will appear on Central's campus as the
featured number of the lecture
course series this Friday night,
March 26.
"It can readily be seen how rapidly aviation in this country is going ahead, and no one can overestimate the potential genius of the
American mind nor the speed to
which we can attain if we set our
minds to it. What is needed above
all is a wider recognition of the decisive role of aviation and autonomous air-power organization to exploit fully every ounce of the potentiality of aviation."
Educated in the Russian Naval
Academy, flying ace in the last war
(with 13 planes to his credit), naturalized American and holder of
the amphibian speed record as well
as a leading plane designer and inventor, he is the author of the
sensational book, "Victory Through
Air Power."
