In the light Of new Developments, not foreseen

to adopt at the present tine, form of organization
which might "freeze" the structure of the movement
for the future.

months for nominal sum, with the understanding that down payment on purchase of the building would be made in the spring. It is hoped to raise the necessary funds by hold ing a carnival and by similar money raising methods.
 The price involved in the proposed sale is said to be in the neighbor- hood of $12,5O0. The city assessment on the land and building totals $19,350.
 The building was built by the late Chief Two Moon, and his herb prep arations were manufactured there. The firm functioned there for time after his death. Then restaurant and night club were opened in the building. Later the premises were occupied by the Numandine Labora- tories, Inc, but this concern left the building some time ago.
 The community club recently suc- ceeded in securing $50,000 appro- priation in the city budget for 1941 for the erection of an east end gym- nasium at Anderson school. The gym was to have been built this year as a WPA project, with the city con- tributing $16,500, but skilled help was not available and the work had to be postponed.
 Formed several years ago, the club now boasts hundreds of members. The present president is Raymond Burke.

WHY is IT.

That students love to carve on desks,
although they always fight for one
smooth enough to write on? And that
students never seem to care at the mo-
ment what happens to their books or
notes, but are stirred up to righteous
indignation when they disappear? And
that two points off department grades
mean so little at the moment, yet is a
tragedy when the six-weeks total is
