              Students Enroll in Many
us
Cut-Op,

The summer term started socially last Wednesday evening
with the first all-rcollege record
dance. It appeared toAbe more of a
success than the record dances of
the fall and spring semesters. Perhaps that's because of the local reversal of the so-called "manpower
shortage." Now that the major part
of the undergraduate student body
has gone vacationing, the male residents of the campus are beginning
to -appreciate young womanhood
for what it is. Hurry back, girls, you
may lose your local men!
And that brings to mind the remarks that have foeen going around
among the men who were here last
terms and previous • to that time.
They do say that the comparative
number of beautiful women on campus exceeds that of previous terms
by several! Believe it, gal, when" a
swabfoy says something like that,
it's straight dope
"CENTRALNAV"
Last Thursday evening, and we
call this to the attention of the
Student Social Activities committee, Seaman Bob Welsh, who trans-,
ferred here from Milligan college,
gave out with some first-rate singing in Ronan's lounge. He was accompanied at the piano by Dick
Griffith, from Berea college, and
the two. of them gave the Navy a
rendition that would do any floor-
show at Central proud. In the words
of the 1945 jitterbug, "they're
'groovy!'"
Speaking of musicians, Sam Mc-.
Ilvaine of Berea and Charlie Leach,
also from Milligan, are on our list o
"floorshow eligibles" for their clarinet and trombone playing.
Finally, we want to know what a
certain psych "prof," whose initials
are E. R. Altman was doing getting
her palm read by a palmist at
Crystal lake one evening last week.
We extend official welcome to the
Navy REcruits who dropped in on
us last week. Any one of them whp
can survive the myriad of exams,
physicals, shots, uniform fittings,
and hours of required study for tlhe
first three weeks and still grin and
bear it, should be a "sure thing"
for pre-flight next year.
' And now, until next week, "I'm off
like a herd of turtles!"
