Editorial The Glorious Heritage of the Victory Ball. . . tat eirr 1Ey!z td t Saturday, February 6, 1943 FIRST EDITION VoL L I rI 1 '10 Cent ances or Victoryin BormanAsks Ball Goers ToI Go Pick Beets Dark, Simon Legree Marv Bor- man, campus manpower boss, pleaded today with student Vic- tory Ball goers to leave the dance at midnight',tonight in order to catch special trucks bound for the beet fields of the Thumb district. This call for workers in the beet fields is especially urgent at this time, since the real reason for the new harvest is not so much' to gather beets as it is to conduct an organized search for several students who were lost in last No- vember's trek to the north. Wages will be unusually high this time, Borman said, since workers will be paid in pounds of sugar beets. "Bring your date along too," he urged. "She'll enjoy a week-end or two in the country. Besides, that town of Sandusky is.a hot town on Saturday night-good cuisine and a swell place to take a date." : As a special concession to the volunteers, Manpower officials promised that this year they would be excused from the second night of the combined J-Hop and Senior Ball. This will save a lot of tired feet and weary pocket-books, they claim. The trip will take little more than four, weeks. Classes will be conducted .by correspondence through the University Extension Bureau.
