"We're going to get the field house
if it is at all possible to build any

President Herman L. Donovan said
yesterday in an exclusive interview
with The Kernel.
The requested appropriation has
been presented to Gov. Keen Johnson and to the legislative council
in addit on to the January meeting
of the legislature.
'Frankly, there is just as much
hepe for a field house now as three
weeks ago or six weeks ago or 10

added.
Tentative plans are being drawn
up in the engineering
college.
These plans will be subject to any
revision that may be required by a
change in the amount granted by
the legislature.
If the appropriation is granted.
and if the national emergency per- mits, building should be started by
July 1. Even a tentative completion
date cannot be set since the size

ing.

In a letter to sororities and representatives of independent groups,
the military department this weekend announced a plan to train a
platoon of approximately
40 women students for duty as ROTC
sponsors and to give them instruction in vital defense subjects.
The latter stated that, "In view
of the widespread interest in na-- 1
tional defense, both civil and mili- tary. a committee of sponsors has j
prepared a plan whereby a platoon i
composed of sponsor candidates will
be organized to receive training in
their duties with the ROTC regi ment. and receive instruction inl
vital defense subjects."
There will be eight independent
and 32 sorority representatives in
the platoon. Candidates must have
their academic standings checked
with the Dean of Women to be eligible Independents interested in
nomination must see Dean Holmes.
Any girl elected sponsor will remain a member for the remainder
of her college career and will be
counted in the quota from her
group. Organizing members will not
be counted in the sorority or independent quota.
Regular meetings will be held and
first air lectures, talks by members of the military department
on various phases of service, honors, ranks, commands, and ritual
will be given.
Every member of the group will
be required to have a regulation
uniform like the present sponsor's
uniforms.

They have, just as any humans have, a desire
to holler and scream when the action of the

the going was tense.
But the xint is, that this steam only rises

should be harnessed at these limes.

attempt to stir up vocal supxirt for the team,
often overdo their jobs by trying to get the
crowd to hurst into cheering every four or five
minutes, whether there is anything to cheer

It's just like slapstick comedy in the movies.

testifv that he has a crop of original cheers
and a contagious enthusiasm which goes over

From the extensive plans made by Silky, the
