In spite of the fact that we heard one fanciftll co-ed describe the V-12's in their white uniforms as looking like snow flakes, the majority of students and profs. feel the heat. Two very diverse reactions have been noted. Those eager-beaver civi lians who were planning to titteni summer semester find their ambition waning, and the mania for sutn-tais is at a high pitch. * Shoot Your Way To Tokyo 'Tlie canteen has an ilnovation in the way of it nuachine. Gobs and others are tantalized into paying a nickle for the privilege of aiming an imposing fake machine gin att a screen in order to hit a series of planes that. flash across. An interesting item of human drata was enacted the other day. Some V-12 self consciously got up to t'y his luck watched supercilliously by a lieutenant., covered with battle ribbons, seated at anm adjoinilg table. Whei lie sat dowin after making it fair score, the officer got up and earelessly began a game. IIis score was albout the lowest you could get. A little abashed he said: "I guess I didn't do so well." * To The Printer Someone once told us that yoi had to expect, disalpplointmilents in this world.
