by Pat Schweitx.r During the cold winter months
of the second semester of last year, eight Kohl Hal! boys who liked swing music decided to start a dance band. They enjoyed little jam sessions, and thought the rest of the students would like to see a real band on the campus. That was the beginning of the Kampus Kats.
The eight boys, Ned Freeman, Willie Staub, Bill Fischer, now at Camp Pickett, Vs., Joe Zurlo, Frank Zurlo, who is now in the Navy, Doug Daughterman, Rex Ridge, and Norm Knisely, expanded their organisation, got some music, and worked hard. By the time spring rolled around they were able to play for some of the dances here and several off-campus af- fairs.
This year the band is even bigger and better. It includes 13 pieces, a leader, two vocalists, and a busi- ness manager. The sax section in- cludes Dick Manahan, Joe Zurlo, Lou LeVan, and Andy Hotsko; brass, Rex Ridge, Nate Brenner, Bob Speck, Printy Arthur, and Tom Huss; rythmn, Willie Staub, Doug Daughterman, and Norm Knisely. Ned Freeman swings the
stick, and Steve Stavrides takes care of the financial end.
Eadie Johnson, a transfer from Miami, is the new contralto vocal- ist, and Johnny Allen, another transfer student, swings out on the jump tunes.
The boys feel that the band is much better this year, as they get new tunes each week, and have regular rehearsals. The brass sec- tion is more fully developed by the addition of two new trombone players, Prinney Arthur and Tom Huss. Each one of them plays because he really likes it, not be- cause the financial renumeration is large.
So far the boys have appeared approximately 12 times, and have broadcast on the University pro- gram over WFIN once. They started their out-of-town season last Saturday night at Findlay, but find it increasingly hard to get transportation for off-campus engagements. They will be willing to play for any campus organiza- tion, benefit performances included, if that organization will get in touch with Steve Stavrides far enough ahead of time.
What next semester will bring, none of them can tell, but the
band may have to break up if too many of the boys are called into service.
Air Corps Checks On Estimates
The Army Air Corps is the
only reserve branch, among
those open to college men, that is checking on nine week esti- mates, Registrar John Bunn stated
' today.
The Army, Navy, and Marine Reserves are not looking at nine week grades, but it is very likely that these branches will ask uni- versities to send in the grades of all enlisted reserve men at semes- ters, Mr. Bunn continued.
"It must be kept in mind that nine week estimates are only es- timatea and not actual grades. These estimates are not counted in on the final point average of the student, and are only an indication of what sort of work the student has been doing."
Debaters Take Top Honors In Midwest Meet At Toledo
Two Bowling Green Teams Go Undefeated; Third Team Wins Three Out Of Five
Bowling Green debaters today held the mythical cham- pionship of the Midwest.
They won 13- of the 15 contests in which they partici-
pated Friday and Saturday at the third annual Midwest De- bating Tournament at the University of Toledo.
Two of the three Bowling Green teams were undefeated in five rounds and the third local
273 Failures-But Grades Are Better Than Expected
One out of every five students enrolled at the University
had at least one unsatisfactory grade for the first nine weeks
classes, a survey revealed today. On the whole, however, it was proved that these grades
just given out were superior to those of the second semester
of last year. This is remarkable inasmuch as second semester grades are always of a higher quality than first semester ones.
Art Department Inaugurates Series Of Displays In Gym
First in a never-ending series of displays is on exhibit in the new art department quarters on the top floor of the Men's Gymnasium.
An exhibit of 80 color etchings by Leon R. Pescheret will be left in the department office the remainder of November and an exhibit of crafts owned by faculty members and towns- people for an indefinite period.
Mr. Pescheret, whose studio is at Whitewater, Wis., is a London- er born of French parents. He has studied in Chicago, Belgium, and England and for two consecu- tive years has won a Chicago So- ciety of Etchers prize.
Best times for the public to see the displays is between 3 and 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, according to Miss Grace Wills, chairman of the art department.
The November meeting of the local branch of the American As- sociation of University Women will be at 8 p.m. Friday in the art headquarters of the University.
Exhibits at the University, Miss Wills said, are to be of three forms:
1. An occasional traveling exhibit, usually in the office of the art department.
Exhibits of crafts contributed
trial arts department constructed furniture along original designs stressing functionalism and created by the art department
Miss Elizabeth Ingley of Denver, Colorado, daughter of an Epis- copal bishop, and Miss Wills are the two faculty members in art.
A course in art history has been added to the curriculum this fall.
In general, the men of the uni- versity received the poorest grades. This may be partially explained by the fact that the men in our col- leges today have a great many more things to think of than they ever have had previously. This is especially true of students now facing the draft, and those students now enlisted in reserve branches of the service who are under constant strain to keep their averages up to the high standards required by the reserve official-..
Another reason why the nine week estimates meant so much this semester is the fact that the cam- pus sororities now have a new rushing system effect. Those women who made grades at nine weeks will have the opportunity of joining one of the eight sororities at the university, while those who did not make the grade will find it necessary to wait until the second nine weeks estimstes are posted.
Two hundred and seventy three letters were sent to parents of stu- dents with one or more failing grades, Registrar John Bunn stated. Each of these letters con- tained a photostattc record of the students grades and a letter ex- plaining the grading system now in effect at the university.
However, the deans of the three colleges all agreed that the esti-
mates were better than they had at first expected they would be, and all three expressed the desire that each student would continue to keep up the good work and make the first semester grades a record that the university will be proud of.
The following tabulation shows the results of the Estimate Survey. Serious cases are those in which the student received more than one 'F':

3. Exhibits of student work, in classrooms.
In the current craft exhibit are textiles, basketry, metal craft, and wood carving representing Mexi- cans, American Indians, and Scan- dinavians and loaned by Mrs. J. C. Lincoln, Miss Helen Henderson, Miss Madge Johnson, Miss Emilie Hartman, and Miss Wills.
The new art quarters fill all five rooms on the top floor of the Men's Gymnasium. One is for the office, another for storeroom and workshop, and the three class- rooms for painting studio, sculp- ture, and craft studio and design and lecture room. Windows in all rooms have curtains to regulate light.

Faculty Members Will Apply For Army Commissions
Eight faculty members signed applications for commissions in the Army last week when Captains Divine and Fox of the Army Pro- curement Office were at the Uni- versity. The captains came to re- cruit men for teaching work in the Army. Men between 36 and 60 years of age, not subject to 1-A classification, are eligible. The eight faculty members have yet to pass several tests before they will finally be accepted by the Army.

All-Campus Show Set For Jan. 22-23
"Falling Leaves" is the name of the first independently sponsored all campus musical comedy to be presented at the University, ac- cording to Bob Crowell, publicity manager.
The theme of the show, which will be January 22 and 23, in the auditorium, centers around a typical campus. College traditions including seranades and a home- coming game have been incorporat- ed in the plot
"The show is entirely original," Crowell said yesterday. The musical scores have been composed by Olga Sonkoly, freshman from Elyris. Ann Mm ray is writing the book.
The general committee consists of Elmer Brown; James (Pepper) Martin, dance routines; Phil Miles, seta; Dorothy Ramsey, tickets; and Bob Crowell, publicity.
Civilian Defense Coordinators Are Named For Campus
The second meeting of the civil- ian defense organization on cam- pus was held last Wednesday night. The meeting was conducted by Sid Lance, head of civilian de- fense in Bowling Green.
Meetings will be held weekly untIL further notice, Max Ihrig, chief coordinator for the Univer- sity, has announced.
Arm bands and certificates will be issued to those students who complete the course, Ihrig said, and added that over 100 students are taking part in the program. He stressed the importance of other students cooperating to the fullest extent.
Classes Dismissed At Noon Today
Thanksgiving recess at Bowling Green State University will ex- tend from noon today until Mon- day morning.
Wednesday morning classes are being held as usual, with no short- ening of the periods. Classes are to be resumed at 8 a.m. Mon- day.
The Christmas recess is to be- gin at 4 p.m. Friday, December 18, and end at 8 a.m. Monday, January 4.

No team from any of the eight other colleges finished without a
champion in men's extemporsneous speaking, team which tied for sec- ond in sweepstakes at the national P.K.D. tournament, and a debater rated superior in the national P.K. D. tournament, and a debater rated superior in the national P.K.D. men's tournament.
Teams in the Toledo tournament represented John Carroll Univer- sity, Denison University, Capital University, Central Michigan Col- lege, University of Detroit, Mari- etta College, University of Toledo, Findlay College, and Bowling Green State University.
At the outset of the tournament, Kuhl and Mieale participated in a demonstration debate to show those unfamiliar with the system being used in the tourna- ment the direct clash plan. They were chosen to replace a South Carolina team which was unable to make the trip.
Next inter-collegiate verbal en- counter scheduled for Bowling Green students is the state women's tournament December 11-12 at Capital University in Columbus.

setback. Second best was a Uni- versity of Detroit group with only one loss.
The Bowling Green teams were: 1. Mildred Geiger, Marilyn
Smith, and Virginia Keller—affirm- ative and undefeated.
2. Larry Knhl and Lee Mieale —negative and undefeated.
3. Robert Morgan, Marvin Pearce, and Robert Thomas—nega- tive and winner of three out of five.
The question was: "Resolved, that the United Nations should es- tablish s federal union with powers to tax and regulate international commerce, maintain police powers, to settle international disputes, enforce all settlements, and to pro- vide for admission of other nations which accept the principles of the union."
Sectional rating for debating proficiency was given to six stu- dents, four of them from Bowling Green. Misses Geiger and Smith and Messrs. Kuhl and Mieale will receive the certificates.
The debate coaches did most of the judging.
Harold M. Jordan, new debate coach at the University, came here this fall from the faculty of Sioux Falls (S.D.) College, where in six years he coached a national cham- pion in women's inter-state ora- tory, national Pi Kappa Delta
Radio Players 'Off The Air' During Recess
The regular University broad- casts over WFIN will not be heard tonight and Friday because of the Thanksgiving recess, according to Prof. Upton Palmer. However, the programs will be resumed Monday at 5:30 when Professor Palmer will interview Dr. William Hoppes, specialist in remedial readings.
On Wednesday, the Men's Glee Club will present a program under the direction of Prof. Leon Fauley.
"Religion on the Campus" was discussed by representatives of the various religious organizations on the campus, on Monday's program, Louis Biery, Jr., president of the YMCA, was chairman for the group which included Eleanor Car- penter, YWCA; Evelyn McClel- land, Kappa Phi; Tom Crowley, Newman Club; Bud Fisher, Otter- bein Fellowship, and Jack Law- rence, Westminster Club. Allan Bechtal and Richard Box were in charge.
Dr. Walter A. Zaugg, professor of education and director of the Bureau of Appointments, will at- tend in Chicago Friday and Satur- day the convention of the Nation- al Institutional Teacher Place- ment Association.
Dr. Newburger Heads B. G. Juvenile Research Bureau
In the Laboratory Training School is a tiny office which
is the scene of a great deal of work which is probably the
most interesting and constructive on this campus, yet perhaps
least known to the students. This is the Bureau of Juvenile
Research which is operated by the State Department of Public Wel- fare. The local office was opened in July and is in charge of Dr. Maurice Newburger. Work is done in cooperation with the Depart- ment of Speech and the local Read- ing Clinic. Children from twelve counties in this area are examined, being referred to the bureau by teachers, ministers, parents, doc- tors, nurses, or anyone having an interest in the child.
The bureau acts in an advisory capacity to judges in cases of delinquency. In cases of adoption wherein the home has been determined suitable, the bureau examines the child to de- termine if he is suitable for adop- tion.
The bureau is particularly in- terested in community problems. Representatives are sent to examine school systems and methods of teaching to determine inadequacies of teaching which may be a serious handicap to the community. Re- commendations may lead to the establishment of special classes where the need arises.
Wartime has increased the neces- sity y>t this type of work, and be-
cause of this appropriations have been increased, in spite of cuts else- where in the state budget.
Dr. Newburger states that he is willing to cooperate with any organization in acquainting it with the work of the department.
Ed Lautner Is Stage Manager For Next Production
Ed Lautner has been appointed stage manager of "The Man Who Came To Dinner," the University Players' next production. He will be assisted by Marjorie Groll and Jo Ann Simmons.
Properties present the greatest difficulties in the play, and they will be in the direction of Gerry Bircher and Ann Rohrbaugh. A mummy case of cockroaches, an imaginary octopus, and six pen- guins will appear in the play.
Dave Thompson will have charge of lighting effects, and Esther Hedberg will manage costumes. The technical director is Phil Milea. William Thompson is business manager.

Turn Over A New Leaf . . . Now that the nine week estimates are a
thing: of the past, we can take time to make out new study schedules and turn over the proverbial 'new leaf.' Although the nine
week grades were much better than university officials had hoped they would be, this is not a sign that any student can afford to coast the rest of the way.
The real job is just ahead! It must be kept in mind that the grades we just received were only 'estimates' of our
ability and not actual grades. To those stu- dents flashing an array of 'AW and 'B's', we only say this: You're off to a good start, don't slip backward. A simple twist of the wrist can make a student very sorry that he didn't put in those extra hours of study.
To those students with estimates of a lower calibre, we suggest this: Try harder next time. It's harder next time. It's much easier to do a little and obtain good grades, than it is to explain why those grades were conspicuous by their absence from your card.
These are not ordinary times. We are not ordinary college students. We are here for one purpose and only one purpose, that is to make ourselves more fit for the job that will aid our government in the war effort after we have received our diploma.
There is no place for the loafer in American colleges today. We are all here on borrowed time, and should make the best use of that time before we are called to our places in the field of battle, in machine shops, or on farms.
The choice is up to us 1 If we are in school to 'just get by', then we are not worthy to be called good Americans, for we are taking up the time of the faculty, spending money to no avail, and very likely taking up space that might well be used by some other student with a will to apply himself and a desire to learn.

headed down to see if the old gang is at the hangout. This will continue all during our short four days stay. Oh, we'll see the family at meal-time, and may- be for a few minutes in the evening, but we'll be off having a good time, never thinking that our parents would like to see us too, and would appreciate our company much more than the gang.
Let's turn over a new leaf this year. Why not surprise ourselves by staying at home long enough to get acquainted with our par- ents again? They'll be interested to know what is happening here at school, and we can talk to our heart's content without fear of boring them. We could make this Thanks- giving very happy for the two grandest people in the world!—PS

Brilliant French leaders such aa DeGaul, Darlan, and Fenard aid the Allies in their attempt to pro- vide a possible second-front in- vasion center. American forces aiding in the operations had paid an estimated cost of 1900 men killed, wounded, or missing.
Meanwhile, Allied forces un- der Montgomery continued their pursuit of routed Nazi-Italian di- visions in Libya. It was not clear as yet just where the Axis troops intended to make a last ditch stand. British troops clashed with Rommel's retreating rear guard at Agednbia, a point about mid- way across Libya, while another Allied column was reportedly making a thrust from the south in an atempt to cut Rommel's line of retreat.

When you are returning to Bowling Green, think about what you are coming back to. You're coming back to something many persons have never known. Re- member that even here in Ameri- ca there still are many, many worthy persons who have not had the opportunity you ara now en- joying.

"The one drawback is that a sailor is simply not admitted to the "best" or even "bettor" homes and the type of girl that a gob can pick up is just that—* type. An evening can grow msrvelously uninter- esting after several hours of "Jeex, I like sailors better than anybody. What's them stripes on your sleeve mean, Huh? Aincha gonna buy me a drink?

Hugh considered himself lucky in most cases though. "The Communicado isn't much, as a newspaper, but it does keep up the morale to a certain extent, aa well as giving me certain privileges not generally accorded to an enlisted man.

New Conceptions Of Thanksgiving
BY CINNY DALTON
"Thanksgiving comes but once a year, and when it conies it brings"—well, just what does it bring?
Way back at the tender age of rompers, the tale of the Thanks- giving feast was pounded, by fair means or foul, into the vacuum of our little cranial cavities. We learned, with wide-eyed skepti- cism, how the Pilgrim fsthers, hav- ing landed on the coooolldd rock- bound New England coast, estab- lished a settlement, harvested their first crop, and then set aside one day on which to give thanks for their good fortune.
Yes, everyone is in no doubt familiar with the above account, but the years between 1621 and 1942 have, alas, brought drastic changes in the individual signifi- cances of this happy holiday. _So, nosing about the campus, as usual in quest of things unusual, we dug up such a variety of ideas on the subject, that we decided to record a few gems for posterity. (Or anyone else who'll read them.)
In answer to our query, diminu- tive Mary Helen Jaynes, bounced op from her typewriter and shouted wildly; "Dishes I That's all Thanksgiving day is, just one round of dishes after another!!" We tried our timid best to comfort the poor girl, then folded our tent and stole away.
Mary Lou "Daisy" Shelton, hav- ing carefully weighed the matter with customary deliberation, ar- rived at the following bewilder- ing conclusion: "Yep, Thanksgiv- ing always reminds me of by ap- pendics. Their un-scheduled "fall- opening" cheated me out of a turkey dinner one year!" Oh well, little brother probably copped both drum-sticks anyhoo.
Approaching Lary Kuhl, "The Man" sighed wearily, smiled for- lornly, and murmured, "Thanks- giving this year will mean nothing more than learning thousands of lines and stuffing myself." That last doesn't sound so bad, Mr. K.
Ginny Falknor added her dis- tinctive bit to our already amazing collection with, "Thanksgiving is more or less just a stepping-stone to Christmas as far as I'm eon- cerned!"
Ho-Hum, pass the turkey, Ma.

Knitting Comes Into Its Own As The Holidays Draw Near
Doodling, thumb twiddling, and such are definitely out this season, and knitting has again come into its own. Yea, it's the annual yen for yarn, with every little lass sitting around the Nest, in class, and even at the Clazel, murmur- ing "Knit . . . pearl . . .knit . . .pearl . . . ", with tongue in cheek and eyes fastened to a bit of much entangled yarn that will ultimately become booties for Brother Bennie, or a snug pair of woolies for Aunt Alvina.
There's really nothing to this knitting thing and it's so inex- pensive, my dear! Of course, there are little extras to buy, such as half dozen extra needles, knitting bags, books of instruc- tion, crochet needles, and the like. They'll add up a bit, but you won't mind at all when you see the beautiful results of the lady in the Knit Shop who demon- strates.

Anderson Five Scrimages With Former Stars
The basketball fans who have been regularly watching the Falcon basketeers getting in their pre-season licks were somewhat astonished last week to see five former Toledo stars of three years ago troup out on the floor.
Yes it was true, it was the same Charley Chuchovitts, Al Alvarez, Pat Hintz, and Charley Cupp that carried Toledo to the top of the basketball world
Sports Briefs BY ELMER BROWN
three years ago. Marshall Carl- son, all-state player of two years back, rounded out the quintet.
The spectators were not privileg- ed to see this formidable five play against the Falcons in a regulation game but the short scrimmage proved that the 1942 candidates were more than a match for the older men who were not quite in top shape.
Coach Anderson announced that the first team berths were still wide open. The strongest candidates appear to be as follows: Sopho- mores, Roger Phillips, who set the state tournament scoring record when playing with Cridersville, and Harley Ash from the local high school; Freshmen, Wyndol-Gray, the ball handling wizard from Akron South; Joe Seigferd from Akron St. Vincent; Walt Blater- kk, product of Akron Central; Bill Quallman, Toledo DeVilbiss star; Charles Glvens, six foot six inch center from Mt. Vernon, and Bob Ransom, also of Mt. Vernon.
Holdovers from last year's squad arc Captain Mike Kish, Wayne Bordner, Joe Fox, and Zip Sher- man.
Don (Sid) Otten, six foot eleven inch center from Bellefountainc was particularly effective in the scrim- mage against Chuckovitts and Company. Sid is a transfer stu- dent from Michigan State aqd will be ineligible unless Bowling Green drops from the conference. He held the unusually high scoring Chuckovitts scoreless, knocking
every attempted shot down to the floor.
Coach Anderson has a little over a week to iron out the last wrinkles and present a smooth working quintet for the opener here next Friday.
The chief worry of the former Toledo mentor is that all the can- didates were individual offensive stars in high school. Anderson built teams have always been noted for their speed and ball handling but above all Anderson demands team work. And it is a difficult job to mold stars who come from different schools into a basket- ball machine in the short practices held thus far.
However the team work and ball handling has been improving with each practice and a lot of the re- mainder of the practices will be spent polishing up the defense.
The fans will be treated to some- thing new on December 9 when the Falcons take on both the Toledo Naval Training Station team and the Hillsdale College quintet for the first doubleheader in the his- tory of the school.
Miss Elolae Barrick is in charge of the book store at the University.
She has been promoted from assistant to succeed Miss Jessie McCombs, who has become secre- tary to Dr. Maurice Newburger, psychologist in charge of the cam- pus branch office of the State Bureau of Juvenile Research.
Winter Sports Take Over Intramural Front
With the 1942-43 fall Intramural program drawing to a close, Gene Thomas, director of Intramurala, has announced the biggest winter program in the history of the Universi- ty.
Instruction courses for the winter months will include swim- ming, handball, basketball offi- ciating, bowling, dancing, fencing, boxing, wrestling, weight-lifting, and chess and checker playing.
"A new section of the Pre- Induction School of Basic Rifle Instruction will undoubtedly be held during the winter months," Thomas said.
"Another new feature of the program this year," said Thomas, "is the club division. This division puts on programs for clubs, churches, and school groups."
At the present time, 19 faculty
members are regularly attending the "Faculty Physical Fitness Program." Plans are being made to enlarge the program to include the families of faculty men also.

Falcons Gose Season With Win Over Naval Team
Playing before a scant 400 fans in Falcon Stadium last Saturday, Bowling Green's Fighting Falcons defeated an aggressive Grosse He Naval Training team 19-7.
In the first period both teams failed to get their ground attack going and the ball was resting on the Navy's 27 year line as the quarter ended.
On the first play of the second quarter the Cadet team was forced to punt to Red Lowery on the Bee Gee 9 yard line. Lowery scupped up the ball and zig-zagged 91 yards through the entire Grosse He team for the Falcons first score. Popovich tried for extra point, but it was wide.
From here until the final play of the second quarter the Grosse He team tried again and again to reach pay dirt, but they failed and the Falcons left the field lead- ing 6-0 at half-time.
Grosse He opened the third quar- ter by marching 76 yards for a score without losing the ball. It was Grosse lie's great fullback, Riordan, that plunged over for the score. Lorenx then booted the ex- tra point which placed the cadet team in the lead 7-6.
Late in the third period the Falcons climaxed a 49 yard drive for a touchdown as Danny Mara- zon unleashed a deadly passing stuck. It took just four playt to score a Maraton to Bordner past which was good to the Grosse He 1 yard line as the third period ended. On the first play of the fourth quarter Maraion slipped through tackle for the score. Popovich kicked the point, and

"In fact we are now offering ST different sports throughout the year, along with 38 instructions courses," Thomas said.
"We are not interested in in- dividual stars, but in developing each individual fellow," continued Thomas. "We want every man to participate 100 per cent.
"Metal awards will not be made this year because of the war," an- nounced Thomas, "but frame cer- tificates and participation certi- ficates will be awarded instead.
"Plans are now being developed to handle 35 to 40 intramural basketball teams this winter," Thomas said. "With this large group of teams, our facilities will be taxed to the maximum, but every effort will be made to take care of every team," added Thomas. ,"If gaa rationing effects the travelling habit of our students, we might even arrange to have intramural programs on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning," announced Thomas.

The short, jolly man with the "onery" glint in his eye seen around the men's gym, if you don't already know, happens to be Gene "Tarpan" Thomas. "Tarpan" is Director of Intra- mural Athletics at the University and also (I wonder how many of you knew this) a student at Bowl- ing Green, an author, basketball official, and former coach, all rolled into 200 pounds.
"Tarpan" was, according to a reliable source, born in an incu- bator on November 5, 1920. His comment waa, "I've been half- baked ever since."
As a sophomore in Martins Fer- ry High School he coached a junior high team to the city league basketball championship. After graduation from Martins Ferry, Thomas entered Bowling Green and while here he served on the athletic board and was appointed intramural director 3 years ago.
Gene, probably one of the busiest men on the campus, has enlarged the intramural program 4 times its former size. In an- swer to the question of how large he expects to make the program here, Gene related, "I'm not stopping until our program is the best in the nation." Gene's daily dream is for Bowling Green to build an intramural sports build- ing equipped with bowling alleys, tennis tables, handball courts, and other recreational facilities.
Perhaps Bowling Green should be thankful they have Mr. Thomas because "Tarpan" had an offer from a boys industrial school but turned it down when he found out the ex-director at the school had had a pitch fork rammed into his back. "Tarpan" haa also had an offer from Father Flanagan's famous Boys School.
When asked when he was go- ing to start teaching Gene re- marked, "I'll never teach uhtil I'm starving to death."
