C. 0.r President
Give Speeches
on V-E Day
V-E day was observed by Central
students at an all-college assembly
on May 8. Speakers of the evening
were President Charles L. Anspach
and Lt. M. R. Kelso, commanding
officer of the Navy V-12 unit here,
who were introduced by George
Lauer, dean of men.
Lt. Kelso pointed out that we are
in this war for "self preservation"
and we must go on fighting Japan
to keep from the world complete
domination by one country. He compared the war with a football game
of which the first half has been won,
but warned that the second half will
be just as tough.
"The day to be glad will be the day
that we win the second half, after
using the same powerful drive for
he final win," he said.
President Anspach declared that
the Germans Were as the armies of
Caesar who plunged the armies of
free men into war. But the armies
of free men have refused to be conquered.
"The armies of Caesar have used
force for the sake of force," said
Dr. Anspach, "but in the darkest
days the free people have been able
to sing of the bluebirds over Dover."

A Student's Thought on V-E Day
May 8, 1945, V-E Day, will go
down in the records as the termination of one of the greatest wars
in history.
To the peoples in England and
Russia V-E Day was a day of
great celebration.- For them the
war was temporarily over, and they
had reason to rejoice. The English
people have been living under a
mental strain since 1939; naturally,
when hostilities with the enemy
came to an end their emotions gave
vent to hilarious outbursts. As for
Russian jutoilamce, they have al-.
ways been recognized as a people
of festivities.
We  in  America had reason  to
rejoice too, but we have been expecting the announcement of V-E
Day since the first rumors of peace
began on April 28; we accepted
the news cahnly, and most of us
carried on our activities as usual.
For us V-E Day was a day of
thanksgiving and dedication;
thanksgiving for the completion of
the first half of the war, and dedication' of our wholehearted support
to the speedy victory of the second
half*
This reaction was as it should
have been. Our war is only half
finished, and we have another long,
hard battle ahead of us. With the
declaration of V-E Day, troops immediately began demobilizing. Already over a million Americans
are on their way to the Pacific battle areas.
To a few Americans May 8 meant
the end of the war, but only to
those  fortunate few whose loved
ones will be coming back to the
UJS^A* for permanent residence.
The majority have yet to await
the news we are all hoping for:
that of J-Day. Then it is that the
American will rejoice, for then it
is that peace will again reign o'er
"the land of the free and the home
of the brave."
105 Fleet Men
Will be Sent
to Central Unit
Another change has been made in
regard to the V-12 unit here next
semester according to a letter received by Lt. M. R. Kelso, commanding officer of the V-12 unit
from the Bureau of Naval Personnel
last week.
The Navy has selected the additional units which will be needed
in the expanding N.R.O.T.C. program. No Michigan institutions are
included. The third semester men
who were supposed to have reported
here on July 1, will be transferred
to the new units, and 105 men directly from the fleet will be transferred here. These men will be frst
term trainees.
With the exception of the men
who will enter V-5 on July 1, there
has been no change in the status
of the first, second and third termers here; and from all indications,
they will remain here for one more
semester.
Only two officers will be sent here
to teach military science instead of
thre as was previously announced.
The first term men will not take
these courses until their second or
third terms of college
