By HOMER SWANDER
Unlike the Black Fridays of recent
years, when sophomores were as
scarce around the Michigan campus
as the famous four-out-of-five, mem-
bers of the Class of 1944 are vigor-
ously preparing for what they claim
will be "a complete. overwhelming de-
feat of the lowly, freshmen" in the
coming class games.
In preparation for the games which
are to be staged in the Intramural
Building, Saturday, Nov. 29, leading
sophomores wil mleet today at 8:30
p.m. in Student Offices of the Union.
They will discuss the best ways and
means of "walloping" the Class of
'45, elect ,a captain and decide upon
the rules governing the various
events.
A similar meeting is to be held at
7:30 p.m. today, also in the Student
Offices, by dormitory presidents and
prominent fresmen who have nothing
but scorn for the sophomore "idiotic
rantings and ravings about victory."
No "sissy" affair, the games will,
nevertheless, dispense with the de-
pantsing and property destroying of
former years.
Games already decided upon in-
elude a gigantic tug-of-war, speed
ball with an eight-foot ball and a pil-
low fight. The main event will be a
flag rush with the sophomores de-
fending their flag against the attack-
ing freshmen.
The Class Day Games are being
held this year under sponsorship of
the Union, the Interfraternity Coun-
cil and The Daily, with the approval
of the University.

Graduate Outing Club
Plans Moonlit Hayride

I

A moonlit hayride through the1
country next Saturday evening is
planned by the Graduate Outing
Club. Graduate students of all col-
leges are invited to attend the hay-
ride which will start at 8 p.m. from
the Rackham Building.
Reservations should be made at
once-for the capacity of the wagon
is twenty persons. All graduates in-
terested should leave their names at
the information desk in the Rackham
Building.
The group may return to the club
rooms for refreshments afterwards
if it so desires. Further details con-
cerning the hayride will appear in the#
D.O.B.

Mood is built up in a great partt
through these .lighting effects. The
purpose of them is entirely psycho-
logical as they fade out and come
in with startling results. In certain
scenes. one person holds the lime-
light and therefore the spotlight plays
him up and neglects other characters
onstage.
In short, the setting is screwy, Wil-I
liam Saroyan does not want to "leave
audiences exactly where we find
them," and from all indications Mell-
encamp has helped him fulfill his
desire.
Minimumn Draftee Age
May Be Lowered To 18
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5-VP-
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, National
Director of Selective Service said to-
day a shortage of manpower may
force the government either to lower
the minimum draft age from 21 to
18 or end deferments to older man.
An additional 1,700,000 men of
draft age will be registered for pos-
sible service next July 1, Hershey
stated. Unless the draft age is low-
ered, he declared, however, the ar-
my's manpower shortage will make it
necessary to cancel many deferments
to men 21 to 28 and re-examine men
previously rejected because of minor
physical disabilities.

Students, Faced With Increase
In Campus Restaurant Prices

By DAN BEHRMAN
Increased costs and a dangerous
scarcity of labor have given local
restaurants the alternatives of rais-
ing prices or going out of business.
Proprietors catering to the campus
report boosts as high as twenty per
cent. Not only have gross revenues
been affected by the mark-up, but]
student customers are also hard-
pressed when they try to keep their
three squares down to the traditional
dollar a day.
There seems but little prospect for
an immediate decrease, and restau-
rant owners are crossing their fingers
against any added raises in whole-
sale prices. The army has also played
its part in gilding the blue-plate spec-
ial, since the government is forced to
buy huge quantities of meat for an
ever-growing group of selectees.
Al Heald, proprietor of one of the
larger State Street establishments,
told The Daily that he had made two
ten per cent raises, one after last
semester and another previous to the
University's opening this fall. Costs
have skyrocketed, Heald declared,
pointing out differences between to-
day's wholesale prices and those of
six months ago. Hamburger, once
17 cents per pound, is now 22 cents.
Paper goods, such as straws, are
nearly twice as expensive, and canned
foods have shown the greatest in-
crease of any item in his store. "We
won't have to change prices for a
while yet," Heald stated. "Besides
that, our policy has been to keep the

same rates Throughout a semester."
James Gribble also complained of
an increase in canned goods' prices.
Some canned foods have jumped as
much as 25 cents per dozen every
week, he pointed out. Gribble referred
to the Senate farm bloc as he cited
butter prices, up from 32 to 40 cents
per pound.
"We cannot raise prices propor-
tionately to these increases," Gribble
said, "Therefore we are working on
a smaller margin of profit than last
year." The worst psychological re-
sults. he pointed out, are in items
fixed by "custom." Many complaints
have been made in his shop about a
two-cent increase in milk prices.
Although a local grocer reported
only a five per cent increase in the
average woman's shopping list, res-
taurants are also confronted with a
labor problem. Student labor is hard-
er to obtain, and nearby defense fac-
toires have been hiring men away
from eating places.
The labor problem has hit John K.
Webber particularly hard. Webber,
pwner of a Washington Street res-
taurant, declared that "besides diffi-
ulty in getting help, we are forced
to pay them more to stay with us."
The student labor shortage has caus-
ed Webber to hire more full-time
workers, another added expense.
Pointing to one item as an example,
Webber declared that barbecued,
spareribs, once 13 cents per pound are
now 28 cents.
