officials guaratieed the
dance will make, every-
body forget "the good time
we might have had at
home." . . . But students
are wondering what condi-
tion they will be in for
classes the next morning.
CO-CHAIRMEN for Vic-
tory Ball were also an-
nounced this week ... The
dance is designed to take
the place of J-Hop and
Senior Ball and it will be
held between semesters . .
. . House parties, however,
will definitely be banned
for the event which will
probably be the last for
many students on campus
destined for the armed
forces . . . Students are
slightly, "hurt" over the
ban which was imposed
last August by the Student
Affairs Committee . . . A
Daily poll found that 19
fraternities and sororities
and nine out of ten stu-
dents on campus are defi-
nitely opposed to the rule
.. But all indications are
that the regulation will
stick despite protests.
MANPOWER CORPS
tackled the job of disman-
tling two 35-ton brick
boilers and attached eight-
ton stokers for the Build-
ing and Grounds Depart-
ment . . Corps men are
now waiting for WPB in-
spectors to determine if
they aie suitable for war
use . . If found usable
the total 86-ton apparatus
will have to be completely
dismantled and ready for
shipment by the end of
next week.
PAUL V. McNUTT, War
Manpower head, warmly
praised Michigan's Man-
power Corps in a letter to
Marvin -"Borman . . . Mc-
Nutt says in his letter,
"The activities which your
corps is carrying on are
very useful and the as-
sistance they render to
the ,manpower problem is
very genuine . . . I hope
other colleges may be
stimulated by your fine
example."
IN RESPONSE to this
request the Manpower
Corps played host to rep-
resentatives from Big Ten
schools and Michigan State
at a two-day conference - -
. . Purpose of the meeting
was to spread manpower
mobilization to other cam-
puses and to establish an
intercollegiate body to aid
in coordinating and fur-
thering the student war
effort.
. . . Have You Heard
the latest?
RUMOR - MONGERS
mongered overtime this
week . and circulated as
sweet a bunch of rosy red
rumors as have ever hit
campus . . . People called
The Daily to report that
the Board of Regents had
met and decided to change
Christmas vacation dates
. . . Some went so far as to
say that there wouldn't be
any at all . . . Another,
story said that the Office
of Defense Transportation
would soon announce sus-
pension of the sale of train
tickets from Dec. 15 to Jan.
6 to permit as many sol-
diers as possible to come
home for Christmas- -
Both these rumors had a
number of different twists,
but neither have any foun-
dation-at least not so far.
BLOND, six-foot five-
inch swimming sensation
Harry Holiday streaked to
an ijnofficial world's re-
ord in the 100-yard bac k-
stroke at the Sports Build-
ing's Swim Gala Friday
night . . . The sophomore
star smashed Adolf Kie-
fer's record by two-tenths
of a second by sprinting
the distance in 57 seconds.
JUNIOR Julius Franks
was named guard on Col-
lier's All-American foot-
ball team, selected by
Grantland Rice this week
. . . He was the twenty-
fourth Michigan grid star
to be so honored ... Franks
and Big Al Wistert were
both given second-squad
honors on the Associated
Press all-star eleven, also
picked this week.
THE University ROTC
moved lock, stock and bar-
rel into the castle-like Zeta
Psi fraternity house next
to the Union . . . Present
headquarters in the for-
mer University boiler house
now will be used for class-
room and supply purposes.
TWO University coeds,
working in greasy jeans 54
hours a week at a tool-
grinding machine, are also
carrying a full complement
of classes. The pair, Bar-
bara Jenswold, '43, and
Gloria Nishon, '43, say it's
"one heck of a lot of fun."
DRY-THROATED stu-
dents are taking the strict
government coffee ration-
ing program in stride, sip-
ping their cup a day with
hardly a complaint, dis-
pensers of the brown brew
said this week. The carry-
out business is stopped.

students "seem to know
nowadays what's coming
off."

How about a CoREER
the CIVILIAN FRONT?
A s a student, you've doubtless asked yourself many
times what you ought to do to help win this war. What can you
study that will be of practical assistance?
The Retail Bureau at the University of Pittsburgh is offering
a new opportunity to college upperclassmen to be trained for a
successful career in retailing while gaining actual working expe-
rience at a steady weekly salary. You will receive regular under-
graduate credit for your work at the Bureau, you'll earn a
weekly income in a Pittsburgh department store, you'll be
making a definite contribution to civilian wartime morale-at
the same time piling up experience toward a career.
Pitt's Retail Bureau came into being during World War I
to help retailers replace executives and junior executives lost
to the armed forces and government services. In this war, we're
bringing 24 years of successful store service to the problem of
training new people. And we believe opportunities in retailing
have never been greater than they are right now.
NEW SEMESTERS BEGIN MONDAY, FEBRUARY B. JUNE 28

Class .elections
to Be Confined
to Lfit School
Balloting in Other
Colleges Ruled Out
Senior class election of class offi-
cers will be confined to the literary
college, Bob Matthews, '43BAd., presi-
dent of the Men's Judiciary Council,
reported yesterday.
Considering the facts that all other
schools and colleges have small senior
classes and that only one other peti-
tion was submitted, the Judiciary
Council reached its decision.
Other schools and colleges will have
special meetings of the seniors and
will elect their officers in their own
manner.
Eligible seniors will vote Tuesday
for president, vice-president, secre-
tary, and treasurer. Balloting will
take place in the corridor of Uni-
versity Hall between 1 and 4 p.m. Eli-
gibility cards must be presented for
ballots.
Prospective candidates are remind-
ed of their interviews between 2 and
5:30 p.m. tomorrow. Candidates'
names will be announced in Tues-
day's Daily.
By a recent action of the Judiciary
Council, no campaigning will be al-
lowed before these names are an-
nounced. Violators of this ruling will
be fined or disqualified.
