Wax Removed from Court ★★★ ★★★ Peace Comes to 'Phog'
Hoch auditorium's basketball court now only needs a coat of basketball court varnish to make it as good as in other prevarsity days, Dr. F. C. Allen said today.
Buildings and grounds employees, aided by outside labor
have scrubbed the floor with steel wool and gasoline and the last evidence of the smuggled in floor way has disappeared.
in floor wax has disappeared.
Dr. Allen said that the original agreement with Larry McSpadden, dance manager, was that wax would be put on the floor and a portion of the dance funds would be used to remove it after the dance. After a check on the labor situation. University officials ruled that wax could not be used because it was impossible to get anyone to remove it. Dr. Allen stated that he was not surprised that the wax was brought into the auditorium because dance floor varnish and basketball court varnish have entirely different friction coefficients.
The cleaning and re-varnishing of the floor will cost the dance fund about a hundred dollars.
Dr. Allen suggested that in the future, the varsity dance be scheduled a week ahead of Homecoming so that only one removal bill would be encountered. Revarnishing will be done sometime before Dec. 2, the date of the first game.

The discussion-provoking statement follows: "Every college and university should be turned completely into an Army and Navy training center. The Army or Navy should decide whether the student should stay in college to be trained for war, or inducted into the fighting force at once. The women, too, should remain in college only while they are being trained for their part in the war effort." The men and women students in

Wallace Bradshaw, freshman: "If we turn it clear over to war, and take all the boys for war work, it will mean no education after the war."
Florence Jean Eggert, sophomore:
"If it would help win the war, I'm for it.
Margaret Stratton, sophomore: "I guess it's all right, but girls should be allowed to continue with their line of work, which could be turned to good account after the war."
Bob Coleman, junior: "Regimentation of education is undoubtedly on the way, so about all we can do is accept it. The war administration however, should not overlook America's need for leaders in peace as well as leaders on the battlefield. It is to be hoped that adequate provision will be made to assure that leadership when the need for it arises."
John Waggoner, senior: "I think the man is using understatement. It seems somewhat obvious that this course of action is necessary.
Bill Fecney, senior: "During wartime, colleges should be a valuable source of trained manpower. However, the government will make a serious error if it neglects academic courses in postwar reconstruction in an effort to make military workshops out of centers of higher education."

"I never saw a fighting man who didn't cherish the very thought of a pause with Coca-Cola. That goes for workers in factories, too. Ice-cold Coke is something more than the drink that answers thirst. It adds the feel of refreshment.
"In war, Uncle Sam restricts the supply. But there's still enough for many refreshing pauses."
