Wanted—somebody to manu

State’s fourth annual All-College
Circus to held next Saturday
in Rec Hall. Anybody not hamp
ered by priorities call Gene Wett
stone, 4281.
Coach Wettstone did not run
the above classified advertise
ment, but he might very well
have done so, for a few short
months ago when plans were be
ing made for the circus, the gen
ial director was faced with the
very difficult problem of adding
up-to-the-minute equipment to
his existing apparatus which is
valued at $4,000.
For three years the Circus
bought its equipment from a large
manufacturing concern that sup.
plies many commercial troupes
with their machinery, but war de
mands made that source impos
sible this year. .
For a while it looked as if the
Circus would have to be cancell
ed, or run along the same line as
last year.
