freshman co-eds the other day. In
order to make it clearer he said
that a piece of beefsteak eaten by
a man turns into two legs and says
"how do you do?" But that same
piece of steak eaten by a dog, he
pointed out, develops into four legs
and merely says "Woof!" The young
thing just looked at him for a moment and then gently said, "Oh,
1 come now, professor,"
PAT SLAUGHTER, Mt. Pleasant sophomore, played the lead in
"Janie," which was presented in

I. R. C. Discusses
Student Exchange
A discussion of the oriental problem, bringing in the desirability of
student exchange, will take place
•at the next meeting of the International Relations committee, Mon-
,day evening, February 19, in room
E3. Harriet Walters, Bay City sophomore, will act as discussion leader.
Central students interested in
world affairs are welcome to attend
and to join in the discussions which
take place first and third Mondays
of every month.
This group, which is steadily
growing, was organized last year
by members of Miss Margaret O.
Koopman's social processes class.
Their purpose was to stimulate
Central students' interests in international relations.
Miss Koopman acts as adviser
with the following officers aiding
her: Pearl Parker, Detroit sophomore, president; Marilyn Lee, Petoskey sophomore, vice president; Lillian Beebe, Mason sophomore, sec-
retax*y-treasurer; Virginia smith,
Portland sophomore, program chairman.
At previous meetings xthis year
they discussed Russia and heard
lectures on the Japanese New Year
and Mexican Christmas customs.
However, the President's release
also stipulated that "all off-campus
students enrolling for Saturday
classes, all entering freshmen and
all onr-campus students enrolling
for Saturday classes will register on
Saturday, March 3."
March 5 regulations will affect
"all on-campus students now regularly enrolled on all curricula, with
the exception of those who are
registering for Saturday classes."
This change is made, according to
President Anspach, due to the fact
that Monday, registration day, can
count as an instruction day without violating the regulations specifying the minimum number of instruction days. The change, he continues, is also possible because our
quota of Navy V-12 trainees are already on campus and no new
trainees are being sent us on March
1, 1945.
