Variety Show Welcomes New V-12's
Netting $1,773.26, an impressive
margin over the $1500 quota, Central's Red Cross war fund drive
ended as a huge success, according
to Harry A. Miller, campus chairman.
Biggest and happiest surprise of
the campaign, stated Mr. Miller,
came in a heavy cigar box presented by Lieutenants M. R. Kelso and
H. L. Fowler of the Navy V-12 unit,
which contained nearly one third
of the quota—contribution of the
men from Ronan hall.
Members of the faculty and college employees contributed approximately $1,060. The quota reached
its peak as checks" were sent in by
various campus organizations—$50
from the Student Council; ©loan
hall, $55; Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority, $5; Navy CAA-WTS, $31.35;
Associated Women Students, $75;
Sigma Phi Omieron, $10.
The Appleblossom club took in a
total of $28.25 at their table in the
hall of Warriner. It is now a tradition of the club for the girls to don
uniforms and solicit contributions
from the students of Central.
Glenna Douglas and her orchestra
got the semester's first assembly off
to a good start last Wednesday
night with an original arrangement
of "After You've Gone," followed by
a comic tap dance by Jackie Barret and Dorothy Sweeney, accompanied by Dorothy Naumes. A trio
including Ruth Horn, Gladys Smith
and Ruth Leyrer sang "When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling," and welcome
messages were delivered by President Charles L. Anspach and Lt. M.
R. Kelso.
Jack Bates, Detroit sophomore V-
12, acted as master of ceremonies
and introduced some of the new V-
12's who had not yet been issued
uniforms, in the form of a fashion
show, featuring the latest high
school "civies." "Hank" Golenbiew-
ski, a member of the V-5, gave his
interpretation of "the old ball-
game." The band's playing of "One
O'clock Jump," "Alma Mater" and
"Anchors Aweigh" ended this part
of the assembly.
A meeting of the A. W. S. followed
with   announcements  by  Marjorie
Anderson, president, and a speech
by Dr. Anspach on women's war
work. Future plans and dates for
surgical dressings, letter writing,
and box packing were announced,
and the candidates for AWS council offices were introduced.
A.W.S. VA's will sponsor the first
Box-Packing and Letter-Writing
bee of the semester March 30 in
the Women's lounge at Keeler from
7 to 9 p. m. In charge of the affair
will be Lorraine Mosher, Bay. City
senior. Once again attendance will
be handled by sororities on a percentage basis. At the close of the
bee the A.W.S. will treat all the girls
to cokes.
From time to time interesting letters of thanks are received from
fellows and girls in the service who
have received their boxes.
Such is one which recently came
from Pvt. Kenneth Vance upon his
receipt of a Christmas box, and who
at the present time is stationed in
Italy.
He mentioned that the package
contained just the right things, and
that he particularly enjoyed the
candy bars because of the difficulty
in obtaining chocolate there.
He also stated that receiving the
Central Life and letters from those
on campus has proved very interesting and enjoyable too.
Ens. Bob Dundas has also written
from someplace in the South Pacific
to the A.WjS. to thank them for
his box. It was received, he said,
just before their "next push."

NO EASTER VACATION
The cabinet decided last week
that because of the demands of
the Navy program it will be impossible to have amy Easter vacation this year.
Students may, however, feel free
to attend Religious Services on
Good Friday, afternoon. As a
matter of courtesy the instructor
should, be notified im advaae©.
"Once upon a midnight dreary,
As she pondered weak and weary,
There came a sudden stomping
As of the watchman clomping
Past the old dorm door."
Then from 219 there came a
shrieking and a sound sleep, or
what could be termed a nightmare,
was shattered. It took ten minutes
to explain that it was only the night
watchman making his rounds on the
hard snow and not a were wolf on
the prowl.

We have compiled a series of
vital statistics to add to Gallup's
latest poll. Since he is undoubtedly a busy man and probably
would never have time to count
things at Central, wis offer our
services.

According to the latest report on
housing" conditions, housing conditions are crowded. As affirmation to
that statement, we found a case of
the previously mentioned conditions
on one four by four table in the
Keeler union cafeteria. It was
brought to our attention when we
tried to look across the table in
question and found the view blocked
by sixteen looseleaf notebooks, thirteen spiral notebooks, twenty-one
"just books," seven pairs of mittens,
ten coats, one poster, five pencils,
one salt shaker, one doily, and
heaven only knows what underneath.

Another extensive survey which
showed definite social trends was
that of Joe and Ed. Joe and Ed
are the ashcaai men. Between 6:30
. and 10 a. m. these men, it was
discovered, made four trips. Study
of the situation has not yet been
completed.

Pardon us.   We just uncovered a
case which calls for exhaustive research. Perhaps we're being overly
suspicious, but there's a sign upon
Ivan Cole's door which reads "Michigan's largest daily newspaper." Mr.
Gallup might be interested in the
results.
Sophs Plan 'Jive
as Cabaret Dance

Jive scheduled for April Fool's day

Music on the Hour
as Chimes Are Fixed
One, two, three, four, etc.—yep,
calculating the hour of the day is
no longer a system of mathematics
but a melodious ringing vto Centralites. The chimes are again in.
working order after a few months'
silence, it seems that the repair?
man regained his health and fixed
them up, returning that musical
touch of friendliness to the campus.
The chimes, which are played
automatically or by hand, were
purchased by the student council
and presented to the college about
ten years ago. Last Thursday was
the first time they have rung since
early in the fall.
