The Board of Trustees approved a recommen dation by the All-College Cabinet to add $2,000 to the fund created by the class of 1939 for the erection of a mountain lodge and a proposal to spend .$l,OOO for an electric scoreboard and timer for Recreation Hall. Scheduling Officer Ray V. Watkins heeded All- College Cabinet’s request for as many free 4 o’clocks as possible this semester, granting two a week. The Committee on' Vacation Absences acted favorably on Cabinet’s request to have student hunters excused from the. vacation cut fine. The administration has shown its desire to set up a strong govemmeift and to heed the consider ed requests of its leaders. This is an equal tribute to-the administration and to the student leaders. . Only once this year.,.Collegian believes, has a jtieasure approved by le Cabinet been balked by the administration. The matter was not, as might be expected, a momentous one asking for a one- holiday, or spending a quarter of the Col lege’s funds. It was a football game! ? ■'The most important of the matters which so far Jiave attained Only a.no-decision status is the re quest made by the Cabinet and by Dean Wamock for an enlargement of the Dean of Men’s office. Pro And Con On The CAA “It would be bad” quips the Daily Texan, “if some of these, CAA boys flunked a test, especially at 10,000 feet. In more serious vein, there a great deal of pro-and-conning these days on American campuses about the merits of the federal govern ment's flight training program for college stu dents. Some editors have voiced flat opposition, others go “all out” in their praise. Charging “they call it the Civil aeronautics authority, but they mean Military aeronautics authority.” The Daily Northwestern advises un dergraduates as follows: “We neither recommend that you sign up for the program nor that you. shun it absolutely. We ask you only to recognize that you are, in effect, signing up for training in the military air force of the nation. Be under no delusion that this is simply an easy and cheap way to learn to fly with no strings attached. It isn't.” It would appear from an Associated Collegiate Press survey that the pros outnumber the cons. Here are typical arguments of the former: Cornell Daily Sun: “Actually the CAA is not concerned with developing military pilots. It is training thousands of civilians who some day may V/ant to own their own planes, or fly just for the pleasure and convenience of it. It is very likely that never again will students have an opportun ity to learn to fly under such ideal conditions.” Michigan State News: “Turning out of crack pilots may have been the original purpose of the CAA courses. But it is in the sideline of arousing public interest that the program is really going to click. Enormous'strengthening of the country’s aerial defense is vital. Public understanding of the aims and realization of the needs for such a move will remove the biggest stumbling block that defense heads might encounter. CAA flying schools are already supplying much of that under standing and realization.” Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Night Phone 4372 The college asked for- $5,619,545, which ain’t hay even though it could feed a lot of horses, and Governor James gives us $4,375,000, roughly about a 20 % deduction. Well, when the outfit that made Helena Rubin stein Beauty Preparations heard about it, they figured the co-eds would need some help so they decided to run their Once-A-Year Sale with a 20% reduction on all their beauty aids. Drop, in McLanahan’s, buy enough Helena Rubinstein Cosmetics for the whole semester and your bud get is balanced. Easy, isn’t it?

Many a lusty lad and luscious miss, pierced by the deadly bar-1 and bar-2 mis sies of the faculty, have been worsted in the Bat tle for the Sheepskin. So be it.

Does Your Heart Belong To Daddy? With apologies to Mary Martin who can do a lot better job on the subject than we can. and whom we think is swell even if we don’t like Finnan Haddie. Anyway, if Your Heart Belongs to Daddy and you’ve been a good girl for the past two weeks; stayed at home every night during the mid-semes ter vacation; didn’t order the deluxe, five-star final Steak dinner the last time you were at the corner with him; it’s a better than even bet that you’ll be able to wangle a niffy Valentine out of him. come February 14th. And if you’re a smart young lady, you’ll drop a gentle hint about the swell Whitman Candy Hearts that McLanahan’s are featuring. What’s more the chances are that his heart’ll stay out of his throat when he hears the price—from one buck. Mainly About Budgets If your budget took a beating for the second semester and you’re worried, forget about it, loolv what Governor James did to the college budget for 1941-43. THE DAII Y COLLEGIAN Taps Student Losses Af All-Time High An epidemic of absent-mind edness is sweeping the campus. According to the report of the Student Union lost and found service, more students are now losing books, notebooks, glasses, and fountain -pens; than at any time since, the service was in augurated. During the past four months Student Union returned 599 ar ticles. valued at $1,742.63; 'to their owners. This amount is far in excess of any previous four-month period in the depart ment’s history. Among the' ‘ articles returned were 206 books, 92 leather note books, 33 fountain pens, 14 coats, 21 pairs of glasses, 17 slide rules, 21 pocketbooks, 9 watches, 7 rings, 5 brief cases, 12 key cases, 49-pairs of -gloves, 38 hats, ,22 scarves, and 1 fraternity pin. About 90. per cent of Student Union’s supply of lost articles is collected from the Liberal Arts and Home Economics buildings. Agriculture, ’Old Main, Engi neering A," and Central Library are next in order of popularity among the absent-minded, while losses in all othei; buildings on the campus are negligible. George L. Donovan, Student Union manager; urges that stu dents put their names'on all be longings to insure return in case of loss. Professor Don J. Kays of Ohio State University has worn the same pair of bowling shoes for 27 years. “YOU CAN GET it AT i Woftl) 8F MllJ f If You Want To Save Yourself Some Money,, Take Advantage ffl ;] FROMM'S SECOND SEMESTER SAIE j Only THREE DAYS Remain For You To Share lii The Savings On i j AH Standard Brand Apparel jj Thursday—Friday—Saturday FROMM’S SERVE LAWSON'S CRISFIELD OYSTERS EXTRA STANDARDS EXTRA SELECTS COUNTS DIRECT FROM CRISFIELD, MARYLAND ARRIVE FRESH TWICE A WEEK ; ■ COOK'S MARKET 115 1 Frazier Sf. r Phone 791 THURSDAY, ; FEBRUARY 6, 1941 lllllllilllillflillljlHHUlUlllllllllllfllllllllllilUiuii UMI cAlendm iiiii!iiiiiiiiiuiniiiiwiiiiiimiiiiitiiiiniiiiiiiiiu]|ii - “ h’ODAY • ' lota Sigma Pi supper rneetng" - in Sandwich Shop at 5:30. paj.
