A REMINDER...
•Students entering thc Bookstore today will
rind the n.uncs ot several former Staters on a
bulletin board. Nearby will he found pen. ink.
and paper. At thc end of the week, those tetters
or norcs rhat have been written will be mailed
by thc bookstore. The students who arc fortunate enough to he in school arc thus given
an opportunity to write to those young men
who arc enroll,,I in a greater institution.
It is needless to -say that these men in thc
armed forces want mail and need mail. Any
service man will testily that a letter from home-
is thc next best riling to a furlough. It seems
that it is such a small thing to ask for students
to write a note, especially when thc materials
arc provided and mailing details are taken care
of by rhe Bookstore.
Therefore, we do not ask you to use these facilities; wc remind you that they arc there and
leave thc res: to you.
LAMP THE STAMPS...
Alrhough (.t large number of cancelled postage stamps have been turned in to 77>c Col-
legi.tn office, there still isn't enough. None of
the faculty has turned in used stamps. Only a
small number of students have taken thc trouble to save and donate stamps.
These cancelled stamps have a definite part
in the war effort. The dye in these cancelled
stamps is vitally important in the cause of freedom. The return of used sramps indicarcs public inrcrcst in this struggle, and it is paradox-

Because of the shortage of potential candidates for the dlplo-
