Organizations Make Plans to Register

surgical dressings and sewing work
on campus.

the organizations met in Keeler union and were given blanks on which
to register their club and rules were
set up. Mrs. Harry Miller, Red Cross
campus representative, explained
the surgical dressings work to the
girls. She urged the presidents to
set their group's' quota low enough
so that they would not have a great
deal of trouble meeting it each week.
Each organization will be responsible for its attendance, records and
a bulletin board will be used in the
sewing room to show the comparative attendance of each organization.
Freshmen girls' who are not yet
members of any other organization are requested to sign up for the
Keeler Union "Records"
Another Saturday Dance
"Open House" at Iteeler Saturday
night was -staged on an informal
note, with dancing to- recordings,
and games in the lounge and game
room.
Hostesses, the presence of several
well-known alumni, and boy and
girl "dummy brooms" in a robber
dance, added notes of festivity to
the evening. Irene Butkowski, Dear-
;born senior, was chairman of the
event. All hostesses were freshmen
jgirls.

tudent Interest
lowest in Years
Reports Indicate
Few Petitions in Circulation;
Activity Tickets Must Be
Validated.
One of the most lackadaisical
campaigns-in Central's political history limped slowly toward a close
this week with deadlines for nominations only a few days off. All petitions must be turned in to the student personnel offfce by 5 p. nL,
Friday, Dec. 8. Any not in by that
time will not be considered.
Petitions turned in will be checked
for duplication of signatures, etc.,
and a list of nominees' names will be
published in the December 8 issue of
LIFE. These names will be placed on
ballots for the December 13 election.
Few Petitions Out
Only some dozem petitions were in
circulation -Monday morning to
nominate candidates for 13 major
campus offices, according to the
student personnel office. These were
all in the hands of individuals, since
campus political parties of former
years have not been revived for this
fall's campaign. It was thought
probable that more petitions would
go out as student interest increased
with the approaching deadline.
Offices for which candidates must?
be nominated by Friday include
student council vice-president, wh©
will take office as president at the
beginning of the second semester;-,
and presidents, vice- presidents',,
secretaries, and treasurers, of the
three upper classes.
Validate Activity Tickets
Students who as yet have not hacf
their student activities' tickets vali~
dated are urged to do so before December 13 for those people having
unvalidated tickets will not be eligible for voting. This restriction is
made because 50 cents of the fee is
turned over to class activities' funds.
Theta Sigma Upsilon Sorority

of Miss Pauline Bodgers, faculty adr'
visor, tonight at 7:15 to honor Jane
Crippen, WAVE alumna. Plans will
be made for a rummage sale at'
the Methodist parsonage Saturday,'

Perfect comeback. Civilians on
campus serenading the dorm were
greeted with a blast of "Anchors
Aweigh" from Sloan windows. Far
from being non-plussed, the men
merely walked away with a beautifully rendered version of "Alma Mater" echoing behind them.
