We think that we need abolition of things like rejuvenation and then we make our contribution to stop such per secution. We know our elocution is like a strong intrusion upon the absolution of this, our retribution. And in the distribution we use some convolution to hide the rank pollution and evils in seclusion.

If you don't believe it, why don't you tear over to the lost and found department in the west sta dium. Of course we can't guaran tee that you'll get everything you lost, but if it happens to be one glove, they've got it. Of all lost articles turned in, single gloves are the most fre quent. Most of the lost and lonely are turned in after the football and basketball games.

Olive Drab Replaces Color Worn by Army in Last War By Pat Chamberlin Olive drab in varying shades will be worn by the army this season, and for the duration, no doubt, ac cording to the fashion-conscious chief officer in the army recruiting offices in the post office building. Olive drab, replacing the khaki of the laJ war, will designate the enlisted men from the commis sioned officers. Except for this difference in color, officers' and enlisted men's uniforms are much alike, both following closely the civilian trend to longer, better fit ting coats, which are called blouses by army regulars, and the formally creased business man's trousers. Certain equipment also identifies the soldier to the trained eye. Air corps uniforms and enlisted men's are of serge, the blouse darker O. D. than the trousers. O. D. socks and brown shoes or oxfords and brass buttons add fin ish to the BDOC in the army. He may or may not wear a garrison belt, and either covers hia head with a garrison cap having the familiar bill or with an overseas cap. B. D. O. U. S. A. The best-dressed officer in Uncle Sam's service will wear trousers of darker O. D. than his blouse, per haps complimented with a sand brown belt. His garrison cap will be banded with O. D. In the win ter a black four-in-hand is worn, and a khaki tie completes the sum mer costume of khaki. Chevrons, decorations of all sorts, and insignia of rank are found in one of three positions on the sleeve of the uniform, accord ing to the requirements for the particular decoration. In all branches of the army service, the particular uniform de pends upon the climate where op erations take place.

There isn't so much loot this year as there was last year, because peo ple are beginning to realize the worth of things. If you insist on not collecting your belongings, you can console yourself with the fact that you are benefitting mankind in general for the lost articles are given to char itable organizations after a rea sonable length of time has elapsed. It's going to be quite hard to get wool next fall, so why don't you go over and get that one glove you lost? - formed ski troops wear white the year around, certain Alaskan di visions don fur lined overcoats, mittens and leggins, and a fur parka to resist the cold. An airman on flying duty is per mitted to wear whatever he finds most convenient and comfortable, but of course on ground duty he must report in the O. D. of the service.

War Terminates WPA Project in Morrill Hall Because of the war, the WPA project at the university museum closed last month after four years' work on the museum's collection of fossils. Under the direction of members of the museum staff, the first workers, local men, were trained in the spring of 1938 for the task of cleaning, repairing, and restoring fossil bones. Several of the WPA men were carpenters employed to build new storage cases and to renovate ex hibition cases in Morril Hall. During the four years, the pro ject as a whole prepared over a quarter-million fossil specimens constructed nearly a thousand drawers for the storage of finished specimens, and in addition built several hundred square feet of shelving, ten cases for storing mounted birds, four cabinets for bird and mammal skins, and sev eral cases for the storage or min erals and rocks. As a result of this work, the museum's study collections of fos sils, which are probably the best in the middle-west, have been AWS Board Announces Skit Practice Plans Practice schedules for those groups in Coed Follies has been announced by the AWS board.

(Continued from Page 1.) The doctor declared that he be lieved the FBI has had much to do with keeping down the hysteria . which appeared in the last war, when, he said, "evn in the univer sity we went around suspecting everybody of being a spy." In this war, according to Jenness, the people have confidence that the in vesigatlons of the FBI are suf feient. "A very natural human chara cteristic of all people," Jenness said," is that we're unwilling to admit just how bad things can be," He cited the findings of psycho logists at Harvard who learned that in a majority of the writings of refugees who came from Eu rope this tendency to fail to "re alize what happened could hap pen" was prevalent. "It's alright to be optimistic, but at the same time, it's a good policy to do all we can in preparing for the worst." Public Opinion Changed., Jenness believes that although sentiment in this country a few years ago was very high against any participation in war, a few far-seeing people here saw what was coming and started sentiment the other way. "When a fairly sure defeat oc curs, something relatively unim portant is played up," Jenness said, He pointed out the playing up of the attack on Marshall Is lands by the United Nations at a time when the fall of Singapore seemed apperent, as an example of this. However, in a democracy you try to pursuade the people, not compel them, he said, 'and regard ing the whole thing, psychologists don't know the answers. Of this I am sure." tot Co 3.50 to 5.95
