Professorial larynges quiv- er in eager anticipation and glot- tises shake with delight at the coming of The Event , for to- night at five sharp on the gym- nasium steps the facult ywill vie for championship honors, as the greatest innovation of all academ- ic time swings into focus . . . the .loke Telling Contest! Such a highlight of the educational year cannot be treated lightly. So as profs practiced fervidly with the heated blood of coming combat running rampant through their veins, we stalked the halls for first-hand quotes on the probable outcome of the contest. Self-confidence is paramount among the aspirants this year. With gleaming eye and feverish brow they eagerly await tonight's trial. Two seasoned vet- erans, however, will not compete this eve- Mr. Stewart declines, .for as he ning. says, I may tell a joke, but as for enter- ing, I cannot think of itl It would be too unfair to the others. Dr. Hannelly also desists. I feel it would not be fair to traffic with rank amateurs. I will be more than willing to challenge any of the other members of the faculty when they arrive at the pro- fessional peak which l have attained. Those professors taking part, however, are all, with few exceptions, certain of victory. We have transcribed here their final words as they girded themselves for the fray. And now, the question! Why do you think you will win the joke con- test? Jake Smelser: l am positive that I will win the joke contest because of the mediocre competition I will have. Jean Hunter: lf I win, it will be due entirely to my lack of a sense of humor. Marshall Monroe: l'm not. Earl Stone: After consulting Robes- pierre: I carry him as a Chinese man- darin would carry his praying mantis tied to a string around his waist, I find that I have no competition. tEd. note: Robes- pierre is one slightly dilapidated and juicy grasshopperl. lContinued On Page 47 FACULTY FEUD PICNIC, DANCE TONIGHT OPEN SOCIAL SEASON OOC oo ' l vm ' We meet here tonight at five! Enrollment at present stands at 351 students as compared to an enroll- ment of 300 last year at this time and shows signs of greater increase, according to Mr. Monroe, registrar. Among those enrolled are a num- ber of out of state students and a few discharged service men. The freshmen boast approximately tour times as many members as the sophomores. Burgess Elected Sophomore Head Byron Burgess was elected president of the sophomore class Thursday, Sep- tember I4, at a class meeting in the Blue and Gold Room. Other officers chosen to serve for this semester are Faith Niles, vice-president: Genay Schoeny, secretary, and Tim Mitchell, treasurer. At the same meeting it was decided that the newly elected officers would serve as a committee in charge of ar- rangements for the freshman picnic to be held this afternoon. WHAT? The Freshman-Sophomore Picnic. WHERE? In front of the gymnasium. WHEN? Five o'clock this afternoon. WHO? All of the freshmen, sopho- mores, and faculty. Highlighting the picnic, which is a traditional affair given annually by the sophomores in the freshmen's honor, will be a joke contest among the faculty members. Watch Mr. Smelser and, Dean Wyman vie for the honor of being the top yarn spinner of P, J. C., or possibly, watch some rank amateur steal the lime- light from them. Of major interest to the student body will be the stunt contest. The most talented members of both classes will be on hand to give out with songs, dances, and otherattempts at en- tertainment. All decisions of the judges will be final, and the winners will be pre- sented with gift certificates for phono- graph records to be purchased at a local music store. A pouring the water race 'will also be presented. The captains of the teams, all freshman boys, are Henry Wilkinson, Bill Berry, Ed Hubbell, Bill Gray, Joe Castellano, and Harlan Cook. The picnic supper, consisting of sand- wiches, potato chips, pop and cake, will follow the contests. Finale of the evening will be a dance held in the Blue and Gold Room from 6:30 to 8:00. Music will be provided by phonograph records and a radio. Committees in charge of arrangements are as follows: entertainment, Byron Bur- gess and Mr. Stewartj food serving, Faith Niles, Genay Schoeny, Dorothy Gregg, Marjory Menard, Mary Catherine O'Con- ner, and Jean Landis, prizes, Faith Niles and Genay Schoeny, competitive recrea- tion, Les Metzger, Herman Lipow, and Al Zeitlin: stunts, Byron Burgess, Pat Haire, and Gertrude Mack: food, Delaine Van Way and Mrs. Motto: judges, Mr. E.

Page 2 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press SIGHTS 'N SCENES 'N STUFF WHAT BEAR TRACKS STANDS FOR Let us assert ourselves. Firstly, Bear Tracks of l944-45 stands for the honest reporting of news, local, national, or world, as chosen for its interest and im- portance to Junior College students. This paper will stand for greater participation of the student in its composition. In this endeavor it will promote the contribution of student ideas to its pages. However, though keeping sharp tab on the student pulse, it will attempt to guide its impulses into the right veins. ln its editorial policy Bear Tracks will stand firmly against preju- dice, discrimination, and suppression of democratic rights. Subject matter will be chosen from campus conditions or situations likely to be found in greater dimension and complexity beyond college life. For example, the race issue, not by any means remote in its effects. ln its features Bear Tracks will stress originality and broad cov- erage. The feature section dedicates itself to students' development of broader interests. , As its goal, Bear Tracks chooses to aid in establishing a greater understanding among students and their responsibility toward each other, and more broadly, their nation and their world. lf retained as a future reference, Bear Tracks will stand not as a remniscence of the sentimental good old days , but as a reminder of the problems, ideas, ideals, humor, and perhaps occasionally, confused perspective of the youthful. THE TIME TO SPEAK OF BY-GONE DAYS Jeanne Lusby guarded gambolling hu- manity at the University pool in alter- nating black and red swimming suits. ls before you have forgotten them, so what did you do to while away the happy summer hours, my dear? You did? What funl Here, according to latest reports, is what some of the stoodents really did: Herman Lipow finally took the plunge and had his face fixed ldon't we alli. After this our Herman traveled about a bit over the Great Southwest, being at one time as close as 15 miles from the Mexican border and a bottle of Tequilla. Pat Eaton Hockenberry participated in a marriage ceremony-she was the bride -and then spent the next two months in the friendly little city of Solvang, Cali- fornia-population two lthe Hocken- berriesi. Tim Mitchell is quoted as having ex- erted his youthful summer energies at the Newberry Electric Corporation, which in plain language probably means the electric counter at Newberrys'. Who knows? Louise Rowlands plugged away at the Telephone Company. , Mary Lou Lindstrom found that what holds a plane -together is rivets, millions of them. Charles Ewing saw Flagstaff through a tripod-one can think of better ways. Jane Freeny watched on Hollywood and Vine for Orson Welles, etc., but as she had to eat a little, too, she took time off to work at Radio Workshop at N.B.C. Ruth Condrey prepared for her poli- tical career, and then went to the Coast and spent all her preparations. Beulah Wilson spent the summer in the Court House. In what part she won't say! I Bill Berry worked at Martin's Service Station, one of the government's sub gas vaults, but, says Mr. Berry, as to the future there will be no free gas. Dorothy Wood worked two days. And now, as the students of P.J.C. settle down to the bottom of the Foun- tain of Knowledge, the waters of edu- cation flowing over their heads undis- turbed and undisturbing, the fantasy of summer vacation, happy, carefree days of loafing or free nights and big paychecks becomes a mere blurred dream. There remains not even the paycheck to sub- stantiate it, beside the solid, ever-present nightmare of the never ceasing labors of education. TOUCHE! THE MERRY EDUCATION- AL WHIRL once more gets into swing, and here we are again, but the situation looks mighty different from last year. Fer instance, the campus is lousy with stu- dentsj there are oh so many male speci- mens, the entire campus air is more for- mal. We wait with baited breath to see the way things go. O' COURSE, lots of new friends are being made yonder and thither. That's what we like about J. C., a really rare friendly spirit toward everybody. At least, we've had it in the past and with the help of you freshmen, by scads our majority, we'll have it again. Sure, we have our squabbles, but what big happy family doesn't? And we've fought tooth and nail against that arch fiend, Clique. He's a wicked one. But everybody sorta got together last year to form a Vigi- lante Committee and we did pretty well. We're looking forward with great expec- tation to this year's hilarity. THERE are lots of things you young- uns might like to be tipped off about. she's has a Take Bubbles in the library now, mighty tough at times but she heart of gold. And Toodles over in the Registrar's office! She'Il do anything for one little handful of black jellybeans. Gosh, we could give you dozens of angles to work on, and here's something else you probably don't know as yet. There's a little room at the north end of the upper LA hall that's packed with books for your enjoyment and enlightment-- lots of soft chairs about and usually a little breeze-called the Englishlreading room. Look it up. AND FOR you sophomores, one mo- ment of silence for two that are no longer with us and will be sorely missed. Carter's hoydenish laughter and gaity- Adair's solemn treatises on subjects both deep and profound. And where are Hughes and' Weir? The flower of. our youth? Life is full of sad partings, but perchance the freshman class will pre- sent us with some characters. Let us fer- vently hope so. AND NOW lN CLOSING, let us note one bright spot in the to-be-dark months ahead, and let us be thankful, for Gravel Gertie will never be lonely again! J -P. H. H. A. A. S. U. BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 3 Faculty Summers A Spent ln Varied Occupations During the summer, while most of us were basking in the sun near the ocean, the faculty did important and varied work. Dean Wyman worked for the poor out at Goodyear giving them psychologi- cal testsg Mr. Phelps, as last summer, worked as an investigator for CPA, Mr. Newnam and Mr. Cocanower both worked at Luke Field-Mr. Newnam doing con- struction and maintenance work, and Mr. Cocanower working in the production control office, Mr. Stewart, Mr. D. F. Stone, and Dr. Hannelly taught summer school-Mr. Stewart and Mr. Stone here at J.

Miss Hunter also went to summer school where she studied Spanish from native teachers. Mr. E. L. Stone bottled sweet milk at the Central Avenue Dairyg Miss Herron worked for the city-- never again --she says. Toodles worked in the office here and, for a month, went over to the Coastj Bubbles took in Hollywood in a secret manner f?l Just ask her about Queenie and see what she says! Bubbles also took in many broadcasts at the various studios and attended the 4th of July celebration at the Hollywood Bowl. Mrs. Heisser loafed all summer long- wonderfull Mr. Smelser worked as a bookkeeper out at the aluminum plantg Dean Gibson wore shorts, nobshoes, bought and furnished a house within a few blocks of J. C. so she could be nearer her brood, Mr. Hoff worked as a radio expert at Luke Field, Miss Campbell went up to Mills for sum- mer school for five weeks, and spent a few days in the High Sierras. Daddy Laird had quite a siege of sickness this summer and so spent his time resting up for the coming school year, Colonel My- ers left Phoenix the day school ended for the U. S. Navajo Ordnance Depot I2 miles west of Flagstaff. There he worked on highway construction, maintenance, and docks. The depot there is a large storage depot for bombs, including 2000- Ibs. to 22 caliber, and then, our faithful Mr. Monroe spent his summer here at J. C.-working-just couldn't bear to part with the place. H. A. A. S. U. SUMMER . . . Janice Woodbridge worked, appropri- ately enough, at the Luhrs Building. Jackie Silgard--loafed.

At the close of the meeting the fresh- men women elected their representatives to the executive board. They are Leona Walters, Joan Von Rhein, Dora Kline, and Katie Kraft. Home Economics Head Interviewed Miss Edith C. Stevens, the new Director of Home Economics, has come to Junior College from Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, where she was head of the textile and clothing work in the Home Economics department. Phoenix Junior College has one of the finest up-to-date Home Economics de- partments in the nation, and l hope to develop even to a greater extent a well- functioning and interesting Home Eco- nomics department, was Miss Stevens' comment concerning her new post. She went further to say that she is revis- ing and reorganizing courses in accord- ance with those in comparable colleges and universities. Miss Stevens received her Master of Science degree from lowa State,ancl took advanced study at Columbia and at U. S. C.

Stewart Page 4 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Ruth Miller New Secretary To Dean Almost everyone, at one time or an- other, takes a trip to Dean Wyman's of- fice. All manner of things pop to mind, and you are sure that you will never live through this trip to the Inner Sanctum. But what's this? No squeaking door, no eerie sounds! You are greeted instead by the ever-smiling face of Miss Ruth Miller, the Dean's new super style am- bassador. Petunia, as she is called by those who know her, found her way into the Valley of the Sun last August. She immediately refused to comment on her first impres- sion of our weather. From that we con- clude our Miss Miller is absolutely nor- mal. Her work, before becoming Dean Wy- man's secretary, included being Execu- tive Secretary of the Lab School at Mary- ville, Missouri, and some time as registrar at the Great Falls, Montana, High School. Miss Miller likes! golf, so you golfers on the way to Encanto stop and pick her up. . . But watch out! She's good! MEN! WANNA GLEE CLUB? Monday, activity period, Mr. E. L. Stone will hold a meeting in the Blue and Gold room for all those men who would like to form a glee club. lf there are enough aspirants, plans will be formulated to arrange for a mixed chorus later in the year.

Colonel Meyers: Because I have the best story and I am going to tell it better than the rest. And the reason why I won't win is because the judges will fail to get the point. Dean Gibson: Women can always out- talk men. Don't miss the climax of this exciting event. Remember, tonight at five! SUMMER . . .

PaQe 6 5 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press Rat-ionalization Or Reason? It is common for students, among others, to accept the opinion of a single so-called authority as absolute truth. When he encounters other opinion of the same topic the student refutes it, for he has conveniently settled in his mind the truth of the matter. iRationali- zation . . . to the freshmen who are reading Robinsonl. As in the instance of current events, so many persons are bound to observe the commentaries of a single man, taking care first to make sure that fundamentally they are not different from his own ideas. On such a basis he may maintain an unruffled conscience and assert or deny statements not alone by virtue of his own opinion but with the backing of authority. And so, we come to the question of what should prompt and consolidate opinion besides mere vague attitudes. Let us take, for example, the subject of the poll which Bear Tracks will sponsor: Who is your choice for President? How shall an opinion be reached? It is certainly beyond intelli- gent reason that one should decide any issue upon the basis of family tradition. Rather, an opinion must be established upon close obser- vation of the facts involved. The facts in the issue of presidential election would be observed as past performance of the nominees and their aides, a knowledge of the candidates' abilities and training, and the heeding of policies as announced by the candidates in question. To realize these issues honestly one cannot observe the announcements of either party alone, but must observe those of both and besides gain information from such publications and men whose regard is considered neutral. From these sources he has gained facts and opinions, upon these facts and opinions he will base his own opinion. However, in determining his opinion he must be cautious that he apply the philosophy he deems most advantageous to the majority in a democracy rather than unreasonable emotional reaction. If his opinions are thus reached and he seeks their expression, he has achieved the stature of worthwhile democratic citizenship. R. A. 7' W Camas fi S- PEL X1 WHAT DO I CARE WHO'S RUNNING SIGHTS 'N SCENES 'N STUFF NOW THAT 'THE ICE HAS BEEN broken, at least to a considerable degree, by last Friday's picnic, we can safely as- sume that things will begin to pop around here. Of course, the fellows still were awfully bashful about asking the girls to dance, but timidity has a way of killing itself off. And if you were at all sur- prised at Miss Hubbard's winning of the joke award, we're ashamed of you! She knows a whole flock of good ones. Just get her started sometimes. DAYS STILL CONTINUE TO BE a little warm, but we've got a good cure for that. Reliable sources has it that University Pool will stay open week-ends as long as it is patronized, so you that feel the necessity of cooling off in the afternoons, here's your opportunity. ROUTINE IS BEGINNING to settle down over the campus now. Everyone now walks with a purpose and all the fresh- men know where they are headed.

BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 9 The New Books One of the newest additions to the English Reading Room library is the book Woodrow Wilson , a picture story by Gerald W. Johnson. The book tells the story of the great peace crusader's life with emphasis upon the part spent in pub- lic life. The first chapter is an account of his life before his entrance into politics, and the succeeding chapters tell the story of his political career with pictures and explanatory captions, The author gives without prejudice Wilson's faults and those qualities which made him a great man. The details of the tremendous wave of enthusiasm which greeted Wilson on the European continent as well as the tragedy of Wilson's tour of this country' to defend the League of Nations are brought out. This book is well worth the effort spent to read it, for many little known details of Wilson's life are told. The pictures and cartoons are particularly good. They depict.practically every event of impor- tance in Wilson's political life as well as many lesser ones. Woodrow Wilson is written in an easy manner and can be read in approximately three hours. -.T asf---,IU . 1 -I . 1 i r ' . :-itil .- ' V 1 1 Ulf- '.Z-.

Registration for the first semester closes Saturday, 'October 'l. Anyone knowing a possible student who is hesitant should speak to him, since it is very advantageous to enter the college the first semester as the begin- ing of many subiects are not offered the second semester. On the campus within the next few days there will be some young women, members of the first class of nurses to enter St. Monica's Hospital. Most of these will be memberstof the Cadet Nurses Corps, who for the first se- mester will receive most of their train- ing on the campus by virtue of a co- operative plan which was worked out during the summer.

These reviews will con- tain no opinion of any staff member, but are based on the opinions of magazine movie crit- ics. lt will be the policy ot this department to offer review: to the students of P. J. C. of all of the important movies before they come to Phoenix.-Ed.l Wilson is not great, but it is an en- tertaining and absorbing film. The makers of Wilson have gentled, simplified, and softened Wilson's character in every possible way. fFrom Timel Woodrow Wil- is shown chiefly in his family's' bosom, and the picture succeeds in showing that a man who was stiff and chilly in public could be warm and gay in private. CFrom The New Yorkerl. Wilson conveys little of the feeling of terror of the World War. The millenial, piteous surge of hope that took Wilson to Paris has been reduced to nothing, tFrom The Nationl. Nothing is shown of the American people as a motivating political force, and Wilson seems to op- erate in a political vacuum. fFrorn Timel. Manny Farber said in The New Re- public that the major events of Wilson's life such as his trip to Paris, the Ver- sailles Treaty, and his fight for the League of Nations are slighted, and the insignifi- cant events are made to seem important. He said that Colonel House, who plays a significant role in Wilson's career, is hardly in the filrn, and two minor char- acters, a cheerleader and an economics professor from Princeton, are highly over- rated. Wilson leaves three false impres- sions. The first is that the United States had nothing but the highest moral aims and actions in the First World War. The second one is that the Germans are in- curable gangsters who will never get over the idea of world conquest. The last one is that the whole affair of Versailles was a vague incident in which Wilson argued nobly and without opposition with Clem- enceau. There is no hint that the Treaty of Versailles was unjust and unbenevo- lent or that anyone was sold out. One of the good parts of the film is the news- reel account of the World War. fFrom The New Republici. Wilson is a pageant-like Technicolor show with its many elaborate sets accu- rately checked for authenticity. It is one handsome group photograph after an- other. tFrom The New Yorkeri.

TRETICK NEW TEACHER Mr. Sydney Tretick, noted violinist and new faculty member in the Music Depart- ment, will be the organizer and director of a Junior College orchestra and string ensemble. In addition to these duties he will offer private instructions in violin and perhaps viola. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Mr. Tre- tick was playing the violin at the age of three. He studied at the Peabody Insti- tute at Baltimore and in the Musical Art Quartet affiliated with the Juilliard Insti- tute of Music, and did graduate work with a pupil of Wieniawski, an artist of the I9th centrury, and with a professor at the Peabody Institute. He then spent con- siderable time on concert tours, and as a soloist with large symphonies. Mr. Tretick was formerly in the Air Corps training at Larry Field, Colorado. Having been advised by the Chamber of Commerce that there was no place like Phoenix, Mr. Tretick is inclined to agree with them after spending a summer here. Seriously, he likes the city and has already lived here a year. l?-O. .. THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD 7 Editor., .,.,, ,..,.,..........,...,,.....,.. R osemary Annon Editorial Staff ....,.,.....

Next week faculty chairmen for the sale of both bonds and stamps will be appointed. Mr. Newnam plans to have the Associated Students select a member of the student body toxbe chairman of the campus sales. Tables will be set up in the cafeteria for the sale of stamps during the noon hours. Any student who wishes to pur- chase bonds or stamps before the faculty and student chairmen are chosen should contact Mr. Newnam. He says, What we want this year is not a spurt now and then of stamp sales, but a steady flow through the year. Cadet Nurses On Campus ln addition to the regular students on the campus, this year we have 32 girls studying to be Cadet Nurses. They will attend one full year at J. C. taking chem- istry, anatomy, hygiene, physiology, psy- chology, pharmaceutical math, ethics, micro-biology, and physical education.

L I'm pushing a tractor around now, and believe it or not, it's fun, he said. And then he added with a chuckle, Tractors are easier to handle than stu- dents. Birthday Parties To Be Held Dean Vera Gibson announced that a birthday party for all women students whose birthdays occur between October and March will take place in the club room next Tuesday afternoon beginning at 3:30. The party 'will be sponsored by the AWS. Four teams, the Smith Grave- diggers, Gray's Garbage Collec- tors, the Kruft Commandos, and the Henderson Terrors, have been organized for the intra-mural football games to be held during October. No definite program has been scheduled, but it is believed that the games will be held every Tues- day and Thursday afternoons at four o'clock. These football games will be climaxed by a tournament. During the Tuesday- Thursday games, two teams will be elim- inated, and the two best teams will battle for championship honors. The tourna- ment will be held shortly before basket- ball season starts on November first. A playoff was held on Thursday, Sep- tember 28, and another yesterday, to de- termine how evenly the teams are matched. The first playoff was between the Smith Gravediggers and Gray's Gar- bage Collectors. The second was between the Kruft Commandos and Henderson Terrors. These games were held in the afternoon, as will be the regular games, since there are no lights on the field. u The Smith Gravediggers are: C. J. Smith, captain, Glen Francis, Bob Camp- bell, Bob Davis, Larry Cantor, Herman Lipow, Manny Travaini, Foster Turner, known as Muscles , Tom Gann, and Clayton Niles. Gray's Garbage Collectors, with Bill as captain, consist of Bill Berry, Gray L. M. Olivas, Frank Gullege, Joe Castel- Don Churley Yeager, Don All- lano, strom, Jack Rozboril, and George Mueller. On the Commandos team are: Bob Kruft, captain, Warren Hinkle, Bob Ar- mour, John Krell, Bob Gardiner, Bob Hen- derson, Glenn Baker, Harry Dong, Vern Fetz, James Koslow, Bob Olson, and Earl Goodman. The Terrors are: Bill Henderson, cap- tain, Les Metzger, Tim Mitchell, Dan Nelson, Louis Hallman, Albert Zeitlin, Jim Hassell, George Prince, Leon Black, Henry Wilkinson, and Max Ward. Continued on Page l3J Page l2 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press Democracy Or Thuggery . Monday morning thoseaof us who were at school early enough saw the maintenance men busy scraping signs off the windows, the doors, the steps, and the sidewalks about the campus. Some person or groups of persons put these signs up during .the night, and, in addi- tion, they painted the flagpole, the sidewalk by the flagpole, and Bum- stead. Approximately five man-hours were lost in cleaning this up. This apparently was meant to be political campaigning. lt was, however, nothing more nor less than vandalism. When Bear Tracks decided to sponsor a straw vote of student opinion about the presi- dential nominees, we assumed that the students of Phoenix Junior College were adults and could be treated as such. We insist that our assumption is correct, but we confess that we forgot that there was a small group on the campus which must be dealt with as one would deal with children. The person or persons who created the damage on the campus were either maliciously destructive or very thoughtless. A small group of inconsiderate people, with their misguided enthusiasm, have cast a reflection on the entire student body and have put a black mark upon the reputation of the school. lt has always been thought smart by the Joe College set to paint the opponent's campus before a big game. This is even worse. A presidential election is a serious matter, and it should not be treated as if it were some big game. lt is true that most of us cannot vote yet and that our straw vote means little, but all the students now in P. J. C. will be able to vote in the next presidential election. Now is the time to develop an intelligent, adult attitude toward politics. lf we are to be good citizens we must learn to treat a serious subject in the manner which it deserves. We think that a candidate's prestige is not increased by cheap publicity stunts, particularly when they are destructive of public property. We are sure that all the presidential candidates would repudiate support of this kind. When we of the Bear Tracks staff heard of the outrage on the campus we considered cancelling, or at least postponing, the vote. We decided, however, that the majority of the students should not be punished for the actions of a few. Therefore, you will find the re- sults of the voting in another part of the paper. The New Books By GENAY sci-iosuv Indigo , by Christine Weston, is the story of three boys who' meet and grow up in India, their influence upon one another's thinking, and the effect of their association upon the vast prob- lems that confront India today. One is Jacque de St. Remy, the son of French parents who own vast indigo fields in India. There is John Macbeth, the typical Englishman, the son of an'army officer stationed in lndia. The third is Hardyal, a young native whose father had been educated in England and wished the same for his son, but was disappointed when he did not return to England after two years of school. l-iardyal could not make himself return, for, although he had his father's progressiveness, he was steeped in the age old traditions of the country. lt is also the story of India in the early twentieth century. The author has ample background for her story, for she lived in India until her marriage on her father's indigo plantation. She gives an excellent picture of the conditions that led to the upheaval and tumult in lndia today-the Hindu's hate of the Moslem, the French- man's hate of the English superiority, and the immigrant's hate of the native. All these combine to give a picture as inter- esting'as it is pathetic. These three boys have not only the problems that face one who is an out- sider in a'strange country, but also the threat of the prejudice of their parents which has a powerful influence on their lives. lndigo is one of the new books in the English reading room. SIGHTS 'N SCENES ' 'N STUFF SPEAKING OF SPIRIT, you should have seen the huge turnout at the first intramural football game of the season. Almost four rooters sitting on the side- lines . . . naturally, lack of attendance was due in part to lack of publicity . . . last night's game was fully announced, heralded, and what not, and if you weren't there, you're just a dirty stinker. That's all. A little help was needed to razz the referee at the first encounter-poor guy, his eyesight seems to be shot. FUNNY THING, THOUGH . . . you can't get much spirit up about a foot- ball game, but the minute politics comes on the scene everybody's up in arms. You can get spirit all right, if that's l'd call it the and demented when it's de- well, stick up what you wanna call it. product of a perverted brain. Spirit isn't spirit structive. All goodrand for your candidate, campaign, put up signs-but not in a manner that defaces building or campus. Maybe we sound preachy, we're not angels ourselves-but paint is going a little too far. THE AWS SHlNDlG last Friday turned out to be a live party. Things got under way with a bang-Ruth Baum making love to the dumb waiter, Faith Niles with her foot-long cigar fit smoked like a torch but just wouldn't drawi, Anna Smith sliding across the floor flat on her . . . face, Hagerty with her own rendition of boogie woogie, Annon and Barabe jitter- bugging their way to famef Dora Kline's sad face and long shirt when Mary Lou Johnson and her unidentified partner fwe'll never tell!! won the waltz contest, and Vic, the foto fiend and lone male, sneaking around to take undignified pic- tures. The square dancing eventually turned into a community sing-ask any babe on the campus, they'll tell you There's a hole in the bottom of the sea. NOT TO CHANGE the subject, tho it might be a good idea, but aren't you all on edge to discover who Snowflake is and why? Odds are people will sit up all night long, waiting for the paper.

These classes will serve the needs of people denied the privilege of attending regular ses- sions of the college. The program of intra-mural foot- ball is underway on the campus. Those in charge will announce each game as far in advance as possible so that students and faculty will be able to attend. J. C. extends a hearty welcome to the first group of Cadet Nurses from Saint Monica's Hospital. These fine young ladies will be with us for a school year, and we want them to feel as much at home here as at Saint Monica's. This week's bouquet goes to Rose- mary Jagger and her committees and to Dean Gibson for the success of the Co-ed party Friday evening. Dance Features Jitterbug And Waltz Contests Highlighting the co-ed party, held last Friday night at the Woman's Club, were two dance contests, a jitterbug contest and a waltz contest. The former was won by Phyllis Barabe and Rosemary Annon and the latter by Mary Lou Johnson and Elaine McFate. Judges of the contestants were Ruth Blacklidge, Beverly Busey, Ruth Baum, Jean Ridgeway, and Pat Haire. Mr. F. V. Brown, a North High teach- er, played his private collection of rec- ords and led and called the square dances. The main dance of the evening was the corn stalk dance, in which the couples en- deavored to stay away from the stalk. The losers were Beverly Busey and Julie Ann Gardner, who had to go through a spank- ing line. Punch and cake were served by a committee consisting of the Honor Board, the Associated Women Students' officers and the freshman representatives. Pictured above are the cadet nurses which are now on the P. J. C. campus.

The initiation of new members, a memorable occasion, will take place on the evening of October ll. There will be plenty of food for all those who can sur- vive the ordeal. Plans are being made for the first play of the year to be presented by the club. The play, which will probably be a light one, will be given around Christmas. .l..O Touch Football Teams fContinued from Page ll While these teams have been trying out and practicing, the prospective spec- tators from Phoenix Junior Collegelhave been having a little work-out, too. Tues- day, immediately following the assembly, they met in the Blue and Gold room to practice the school songs, and school yells, so that they would have them down in good shape before the first game.

ABOUT THE MOVIES lBear Tracks presents as a standard feature the movie review which will express the opin- ions of motion picture critics from such mag- azines as Time, The Nation, New Republic, and The New Yorker.-Ed.J 'Dragon Seed' though often awkward and pretentious, never-the-less has mo- ments of moral and dramatic grandeur, reports the Time critic. ln addition he commends Walter Hus- ton for his characterization of Ling Tan in whom the greatness of a whole people sometimes touches sublimity. The Nation reports adversely that Dragon Seed is an almost unimaginably bad movie. The critic goes on to say that Holly- wood has clothed the actors in tailor- made peasant uniforms, turned their eyes to a slant, had them employ speech in the Biblical style, and called them typical Chinese. However, the Nation too com- mends Huston for a performance that is simpIy sincere and fine. Critic of The New Yorker expresses the opinion that Dragon Seed presents a group of Hollywood actors, in Chinese disguise silly to the eye, reproducing lives, thoughts, and experiences unknown to them in a land unknown to them and using good Chinese actors as Japanese. Also the review announces that the ac- tors' unselfconsciousness and their faith in the illusion they are creating gradually tends to convince the audience of its veracity. 'Q-.4 F' N Bill Henderson registers with Rosemary Annon so he can vote in the Bear Tracks poll to find the presidential choice. Roosevelt Winner Of Straw Vote l The Bear Tracks' Straw Vote No. I, which was held on Monday, showed that Roosevelt was the more popular presiden- tial nominee among the students. He had 101 votes as compared with Dewey's 55. The number of people voting for the two candidates broken down according to sex and class are as follows: for Dewey- l5 freshman boys, I9 freshman girls, 6 sophomore boys, and I5 sophomore girls, for Roosevelt-46 freshman boys, 22 freshman girls, I7 sophomore boys, and I6 sophomore girls. The staff members were very pleased by the amount of cooperation given the voteg 156 people, almost half of the student body, voted in less than three hours. Radio Audition Held ' A radio audition for vocal and instru- mental talent was held last Wednesday afternoon, October 4, between 3:30 and 5:00 in the auditorium. The audition was held to discover school talent to be used over KPHO, the Blue Network, two or three times weekly. These programs will be under the supervision of Mr. Smelser, who invites the cooperation of the faculty and students. The programs will consist of music and drama in fifteen minute programs. In the near future KPHO will run a wire to the Phoenix Junior College auditorium, where broadcasting equipment already is installed. A Some party.

I Page I6 A BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS I Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press SU PERSTITION VS. KNOWLEDGE TODAY IS FRIDAY THE l3TH . . . It seems only right and proper on such a widely acclaimed day of black magic to delve into the occult and into super- stition itself. For all of us, despite denials to the contrary, have pet beliefs which can be classified as superstition. You'll find an attempt here to convince you of their foolishness . . . for the key to solving the source of all such strange be- liefs follows. SUPERSTITION IS BASED on the com- mon logical fallacy often termed post hoc ergo propter hoc lafter this, there- fore, because of thisl. That is, the belief that a temporal sequence of events car- ries with it a casual relationship. THATS HIGH-POWERED language, so let's take an example such as the familiar black cat to illustrate this type cf thinking. Suppose a man was walking down a street when a black cat crossed his path. Immediately after he fell and broke his leg, and just as immediately laid the blame upon the cat. Thereafter, he avoided all black cats, deeming them a cause of misfortune. YOU CAN EASILY see how this idea originated and grew from those ignor- ant folk of long ago, who lacked rational or ,satisfying reasons in terms of cause and effect. Their ignorance of natural laws and their fear forced the explana- tions into the world of the supernatural, and regardless of much intellectual head- way since then, we still find ourselves bogged down in the mire of supersti- tion. HOW MANY OF YOU connect a square jaw with will power, red hair with temper, low forehead with crimi- nality, slender hands with artistic tem- perament? How many of you believe that fx lightning never strikes twice in the same place, that friends walking on opposite sides of a post will quarrel, that if a man can't look you in the eye he is dis- honest? HOW MANY OF YOU, through noth- ing but wishful thinking, place blame upon ladders, umbrellas, cats, the num- ber l3 or 3, a two-dollar bill, the moon, or a broken mirror? And how many, with the same wishful thinking, consider a wish made upon a falling star, a load of hay, the first evening star, or a white horse in- fallible? CHECK THE THEORY we mentioned above with any of the following super- stitions, and see how easily it could be applied to their origin, also . . . Tell a dream before breakfast and it will come true, expect company after dropping a fork, howling of a dog a sign of death, a person catching a bride's bouquet will be the next to marry, plant crops by the moon, sign of coming bad luck is a broken dish at a party, it is bad luck to take a broom when moving to a new house, a lost wedding ring means an un- happy married life. SO YOU SEE, we cannot place all the blame upon those primitive people, for we, too, despite our. culture , still fos- ter that line of thought. lt grows not only from wishful thinking and erroneous thought, but from emotional maladjust- ment and attempts to escape distasteful or painful reality. SUPERSTITION IS A PROBLEM, for superstition is ignorance. As knowledge grows, so does superstition wane, though it is far from being stamped out yet. Much of this fallacious type of thinking still persists, and it is a challenge to our search for truth and reason. IT SEEMS T0 ME ll am indebted to the late Hey- wood Brown for the title of this column.-E. L.l The assemblies this year have been particularly good. A repeat performance from the musicians which we have heard this year would be enthusiastically re- ceived. George Warner with his boogie- woogie and Messrs. Tretick and Redewill with their violin music would not be too hard to listen to. Where are the hands on the clock in front of the auditorium? Two stars in the political firmament have gone out with the death of Al Smith and Wendell Willkie. Both were also rans who had the fortitude to remain active in politics even after they were defeated for the presidency. Their influence was felt greatly and they will be' sorely missed. We are glad to see- that our old friends Fibber McGee and Molly back on the air waves on Tuesdays. Posted about the campus at strategic points are signs which read, Please fol- put up for to protect low the walks . These were a specific purpose, namely, the lawns from lazy students who would save a few steps by walking across the lawns. lt takes but a little while longer to follow the sidewalks. Those of us who were at J. C. last year can remember the paths on the front lawn between the doors of the Liberal Arts and the Science buildings. lt did not take long to wear the paths, but it took several months for the grass to grow back on the worn spots. Let this be a gentle reminder to those who look at the signs and then cut on across. E.

This is Friday the Thirteenth, oh child of Satan! The superstition which attributes ill luck to this day of the week may have origi- nated among the Norsemen. With them, Friday was sacred to the goddess Freya, the Northern Venus after whom it was named. Anyone who undertook a jour- ney or devoted himself to business on this day was looked upon as dishonor- ing her, and she was known to avenge herself by overwhelming him with mis- fortune. Among Christians, this irrational fear of Friday as day of ill Omen is DO doubt associated with the death of Christ. Friday, however, is but one of the many days which the strange fancies of astrol- ogy have declared unlucky. It is interesting to note in this con- nection, that Friday is the Moslem Sab- bath. Among the Mohammedans gener- ally, the day is regarded as especially lucky. The Mohammedan peasants in the northwest frontier of Hindustan are said to reverence the day particularly be- cause of the tradition that on that day God rested from the work of creation. ln nearly all civilized countries, this number thirteen is regarded as unlucky, not only by the simple and unlettered, but by many persons of education. By many authorities this superstitious dread is said to have had its origin in the fact that Christ and his disciples made a total of thirteen and that he was betrayed by one of them. Traces of the superstition are found, however, in the tradition of many ancient peoples as widely separated as the Norsemen and the Hindus. Among the Turks, aversion to the number thir- teen is strongly marked. The French and Italians and Latin races in general, have a distinct horror of this number. In many streets of Paris there is no house to be found bearing the number thirteen. Imposing lists of eminent people who were superstitions on this point have been dug up. Equal numbers could be cited who found good luck rather than ill in thirteen. Nevertheless, the belief still lin- gers as one of the ancient human follies that have resisted the attacks of satire and the admonitions of reason. For ex- ample, in America the hotel is excep- tional that has a floor or a room marked thirteen. We wonder what people sleep- ing on the fourteenth floor, with no floor marked thirteen, below them, feel like. THE DEAN'S OFFICE A If there is any Sophomore who has not filed his graduation petition, he should do so at once. ' The first grade period closes Oc- tober 28. Each report is complete from beginning of semester to date, as is the final report. The faculty is willing to counsel any student in need of advice. ' This week's bouquet goes to Her- man Lipow, E. L. Stone and those who promoted the sing festival last Wed- nesday. This was an outstanding suc- cess. Next time the auditorium will be used to take care of all students. Mr. Stone's voice was almost ruined but he is .gradually recovering. A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Of course, you all know there has been a war going on for some time now. And naturally when we have a war, it's the male who does the fighting. Here at J. C., as the result, there are better than 2 to I odds in favor of females. All this has been in the way of show- ing the foundations for this beef. Now our gallant male population has been doing it's darndest to show you girls that there are still some fellas left here on the campus. They tried whistles, but the girls are on to that one by now. Next came loud speaker systems on the cars, but the Amazons didn't understand that kind of English. So now it has boiled down to brute force. Yes ma'm, you, too, can have a football hero. Glamorous, isn't it? But now all kidding aside. The fellows have some really good six-man teams in operation. We could beat North High? And so as the season is about to wind up, and we put away the Band-Aids till basketball season, why don't you girls come on out and give the lads something to FIGHT for? This will be about the last chance this season. How about it? Vic Pulis. AMS Holds Party Tonight A hayrack ride sponsored by the A. M.

We lament and renounce the philosophy of those who respect peace as a time to encourage the enforcement of slavery. Slaves, once free men, will rebel. Overheard in assembly: 'flf I have to see another hackneyed movie, l'll scream. Fifty lusty voices could make a lot of commotion in the auditorium. What's that about a word to the wise being sufficient? Heard on a radio soap opera: What am I going to do? What am I going to do? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? The announcer's elucidating comment - What is she' going to do? lf this column seems to be evidence of the 'nth degree in griping, observe an opportunity to retaliate. Bear Tracks has a letter to the editor column' blankly yearning for some student reaction. The evidence of cliques has not yet become blatantly obvious this year. Can the situation last?

The New Books The English reading room presents Dangling Man , a realistic book of ideas and impressions belonging to a man who hangs in a void between the set rou- tine of normal existence and conscription ihto the U. S. Army. The dangling man finds himself and spirit downcast by a freedom limited by uncertainty. He has given up his iob and is being supported by his wife. He finds this has wrought in him a psychological change which causes him to shun un- willingly academic mental pursuits and willingly social pursuits. He stands alone, unable to feel security or interest in his agonized existence. Joseph experiences waiting until it be- comes unbearable and the thread from which he dangles breaks. He resolutely decides where he must fall to free him- self from his impossible freedom, whether his decision means the betrayal of his convictions or not. So realistically cited through the daily chronicle of this man are his experiences among friends, acquaintances, and fam- ily that the reader is deeply impressed by the smallness, sordidness, and hope- lessness of his environment. Sam Bellow, the twenty-eight year old author, former teacher of anthropology at the University of Chicago, reveals a talent for creating a novel of originality and thought which is at times ponderous but never uninteresting.

That was the moral of the speech, The Good Old Days , given by Mr. Neil Cook, former Junior College director of English, in assembly Tuesday. He told some of what Phoenix and J. C. used to be like, say- ing that we should know about its his- tory and not be like the kitten who ac- cepted the cream without wondering where it, or the saucer, came from. Mr. Cook spoke of when the college was nothing but a group of shacks and traced its development in reverse from a frame and brick house to the old Junior College building on Seventh street, and finally to the comparatively new plant which we now have. An amusing anecdote in Mr. Cook's speech was the story of the original Bum- stead. Who got the bear meat? he asked. When the bear, which had been purchased as a cub from some hunters, got to be too large to handle, it was given to the Apache Junction zoo. The bear never reached its destination, and some- one, Mr. Cook claims, probably had a good meal. Mr. Cook described what Phoenix used to be. He drew a verbal picture of Phoe- nix when it was bounded on the north by Van Buren, on the south by the rail- road track, on the west by Seventh ave- nue, and on the east by Seventh street. He told of the difficulties involved in travelling to Los Angeles and to Pres- cott in a humorous fashion. Mr. Cook closed by speaking of the mz-ny coats of paint on the bear, He said, lf you're going to paint anything, paint Bumstead. He's used to it.

HANNELLY TRAVELS T0 NEW MEXICO Dr, Hannelly, Southwestern Di- rector of the National Education Association, will travel to Albu- querque, New Mexico, to attend the New Mexico Educational As- sociation's convention on October 26, 27, and 28. He will discuss public relations with their execu- tive council and will also give three other talks. His first talk will be the Greater Usefulness of the Teacher , and will be given before the classroom teachers. Good Administration of Schools as De- fined By the Classroom Teacher will be the subiect of his second address to be given before the administrators. The third talk will be one of a group to be presented by the guests of honor at the annual banquet of the School Masters of New Mexico. Dr. Hannelly, Governor Dempsey of New Mexico, and Dr. Willis A. Sutton, formerly superintendent of schools in Albuquerque, are among the guests of honor. Dr. Hannelly, who has just recently returned from Wyoming, said, l felt quite at home at Laramie because Dr. Kilzer of the University of Wyoming brought over his Future Teachers of America group. lt seems that wherever I go, there are students. He also commented on the beautiful scenery throughout Wyoming, and men- tioned that he had seen ten deer while driving through the state. Turner Elected To Rotary Club ' In the sophomore assembly held Tues- day, October lOth, Foster Turner was elected representative to the Rotary Club and plans were discussed concerning the sophomore assembly scheduled for Oc- tober 3 l. Foster will replace Charles Ewing, who left for the Navy, as Junior Representa- tive and will attend Rotary meetings held each Friday. With Arlene Mathew, Dora Kline, and Don Yeager doing the planning, the forthcoming Halloween Dance will naturally be a success. GRADE PERIOD ENDS NEXT WEEK There is just one week left before the first grade period ends. At the end of this week, reports will be sent to the homes in order for students and parents to see the results of the first term's studies. Six-week reports are regular periodic checks made for the benefit of the stu- dent and faculty concerning the quality of work done., Many schools only send reports in cases where the work is low. P. J. C. notifies everyone how he is doing. If any student receives a grade lower than A, B, or C, a conference is required with his instructor in regard to future studies. Dr. Kendall To Give Talk Just a Four-Letter Word is the title of the speech which Dr. Charles S. Ken- dall, pastor of the Central Methodist Church, will give in assembly Tuesday. Dr. Kendall has shrouded his talk with an air of mystery, but Miss Hunter, faculty chairman of the assembly committee, reports that the subiect of his speech is something very dear to the hearts of all students. Dr. Kendall, who received his Doctor of Theology degree from Boston Univer- sity, is starting his third year at Central Methodist Church. Halloween Dance To Be Held Next Friday An informal Halloween dance sponsored by the Associated Stu- dents will be held in the -Gym- nasium on the night of Friday, October 27, from 9:00 until l2:OO, Don Yeager, new social commissioner, announced. No definite plans have been made for an orchestra to play at the dance, which is to be a date affair. The Gymnasium will be decorated in black and orange in the traditional Hal- loween manner. Arlene Mathew is the chairman of the committee in charge of decorations. The members of her committee are Tim Mit- chell, .leanne Lusby, Bill Berry, Aird Stewart, Bob Campbell, Mary Carolyn Steadman, Albert Zeitlin, Ruth Baum, and Max Ward.

WE HAVE RECENTLY become aware of a very sorrowful situa- tion. An initiation was recently held in which the majority of the neophytes were Freshmen students. This initiation instead of creating a feeling of fraternity when it was concluded has instead created a misunderstanding and ill feeling. l THE OCCASION WAS APPARENTLY calculated by several of the initiates as an opportunity for a display of cleverness . This is to be expected as a part of the fun of the ritual. However, a sorry lack of sense of humor is displayed when the clever one can dish it out but not take it. HERE WE SHALL ATTEMPT to clarify rather than criticize. CLUB INITIATIONS here at Junior College are held with the purpose of arousing prospective members to actual participation in the cIub's,activity and show to all members the club's nature. IF IN THE PROCESS of an initiation the established members assume an overbearing and haughty attitude it is that they are serving in traditional capacity. Whether this is good is another question. IT IS INDEED disappointing to them, however, when what they assume to be an energetic display of their responsibility is resented. FRESHMEN HERE at Junior College are certainly expecting sub- jection to a good many initiations which perhaps lack virtue from their point of view. These initiations are traditional and will be the Freshman's prerogative to alter them in another year, or sooner if they do not.approve. Until then, they will be expected to bear their humili- ation in good grace. AN EVIDENCE OF THIS attitude will encourage greater respect for each other from both sides. ' WHAT ABOUT the Coffee Hour? Are the students and faculty, too, willing to recognize it as a valuable part of Junior College routine? THE COFFEE HOUR is a time set aside for those students and faculty members who wish, to discuss together informally topics which they appoint as interesting and significant. IT IS POSSIBLE that it will be a success only if the students indi- cate their interest in its occurrence. 0 0 0 'H gvf 4.4 CIR! llll Kg' -12 7, ,- -I-I ' ' 'J G 4 . .W I . mb I Q92 I.---- .. . . 2112. i' A Q4l? r - ,.

It is more than a mere success story, however, being an intelligent evaluation of character and emotions. The story be- gins in the late eighteen hundreds and carries through to the present day, not only showing clearly the rise of the big business era and the start of present day labor disputes, but giving an admirable description of the emotional struggles of a poverty-stricken young boy caught in the down-sucking current of small town life in Wyattsville, Iowa. Through his own efforts, Sam Braden literally pulls himself up by his bootstraps, making his first million so quickly that the reader hardly believes it has hap- pened, He achieves the social level he desired, and for a time the woman he wanted, but there remains an intangible longing inside Sam that he never defines or satisfies fully to his own satisfaction. Despite his new powers and social posi- tion, Sam never feels equal to the Wy- atts level, and it is ironical that his only son is killed saving the latest generation of Wyatts. This unceasing social struggle is the deep theme of the book, and never ceases to be interesting reading. The last quarter of the book is not so well done, and the reader feels that the end, that of Sam leaving his beautiful mansion to work in a defense factory, is a bit too convenient for the author, Mar- tin Flavin. - Journey in the Dark was not only chosen the Harper's Prize Novel of 1943- 44, but also won the Pulitzer Prize award.

If the Freshmen are like any of the Sophomores l know, they will find it a delightful experience to be thinking for a change, after the assembly line of hoppers that poured facts into our heads the twelve preceding years. lt always was a mystery to me how they figured that in the ninety days between gradua- tion and college entrance we suddenly be- came men and women actually capable of thinking.

Student Stamp Sales Are Brisk The daily sale of stamps has been pretty brisk, states Miss Hooper. lf the students keep buying every day, the sales will add up. All students who bought bonds at the post office or bank during September are asked to list them with Mr. Newnam or Miss Miller so that the school can re- ceive credit for these purchases. The goal for last year's war bond sale was S6,000. Mr. Newnam expects this year's goal to be higher as there are more students on campus. The year's goal is established by the Woman's Division of the War Finance Committee. THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD Editor .........,.......................... ...Rosemary Annon Editorial Staff ........

Musicians Entertain In Assembly Mr. Clifford H. Armstrong, prominent vocalist, and George Warner, outstanding pianist, appeared on the .assembly pro- gram Iast Tuesday. Mr. Armstrong sang such popular ballads as Old Man River and On the Road to MandaIay . Having served with the Marines, Mr. Armstrong told of his seeing the boys coming back from overseas and how they look upon the way civilians are taking things. George Warner is by now well known at J. C.'s Tuesday assemblies. As he put it, I even chew gum without feeling guilty when I'm on the stage here, Mr. Warner held the atention of everyone with an impressionistic arrangement of l Can't Get Started With You .

KENDALL URGES CARE Boa rd Member ln a large fum-out last saturday quam- y H N M fied voters of the Phoenix Union High School and Junior College District elected Mr. Ray Busey, local businessman, a member of our board of trustees. Mr. Busey was born in Arkansas but has lived in the Southwest for the past 30 years and during that time has been very active in many civic groups. In a statement to the Phoenix Junior College students, Mr. Busey said, l be- lieve so thoroughly that the younger generation should be equipped to take over the reins of government and industry when the older ones pass on that they should have the very finest of education- al advantages that can be given them. Mr. Busey takes the pace of Mr. Arnos A. Betts, who recently resigned after 30 years of service. Mr. Betts was first elected to the board in l9l4. At that time the enrollment at the Phoenix Union High School was 648 students. Mr. Betts, during his many years of service, has seen the founding of the Phoenix Junior Col- lege, North Phoenix High School, Phoe- nix Technical School, and' Carver High School. Today the Phoenix Union High School system, including all the auxiliary services, has an enrollment of l5,000. Night School Rolls Still Open Enrollment in the evening classes offer- ed by P. J. C. now totals 65, and regis- tration has been continued this week. The classes now in operation are in the Spanish, Mathematics, Accounting, and Home Economic departments. Classes are held regularly on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the lndustrial Arts or Gym buildings on the Phoenix Union High School campus or at the Red Cross Chapter House, 213 North First Avenue. Because the evening classes are not tax-supported as the regular courses are, fees are charged. Registration has been continued this week to determine defi- nitely whether there will be sufficient enrollment to continue other courses. A meeting of these classes will be held on November 7 to determine this. Mr. Ray.Busey, new board member Maxwell to Speak From Viewpoint of 2044 The most obvious to us will seem im- ponderable to those who live one hundred years from now, stated Mr. Walter Max- well, former student of Junior College and executive secretary of the Arizona Educa- tion Association, who will be the speaker on the topic of historical perspective in assembly next Tuesday. Mr. Maxwell's speech will be delivered as though he were talking one hundred years from the moment to a similar col- lege assembly. In discussing his topic Mr. Maxwell said that people in general cannot under- stand what goes on about them because they live so intensely for so short a time. Consequently, what went on before them and what is to follow them is beyond their limited perspective. As one of the imponderables to the future age, Mr. Maxwell mentioned this age's simultaneous advocacy of high tariffs and internationalism. There are worse things than not being married, and one of them is, being married to the wrong person, concluded Dr. Charles S. Kendall in his talk be- fore the assembly on Tuesday, October 24. Speaking on The four-letter- wc-rd-Love Dr. Kendall stated that the most important factors in a suc- cessful marriage are those of common ground, common tastes, common social and religious attitudes, rather than those of mere physical attraction. Mixed marriages don't work , he stated. ' Looks, glamour, and charm have been over emphasized. The movies and maga- zines have created the impression that the physical life is the whole thing. On the contrary, over 90'Kz of the divorces arise from the basis of looks or sex. ' Dr. Kendall went on to say that the man shortage need not be worried about. He maintained that those persons who are fitted for marriage will naturally be married. This is not a time for panicky thought, but a time for thinking sanely and soundly. The period of engagement, according to Dr. Kendall, should be of lenghty en- durance, preferably at least a year. lt is the time of actual acquaintance. The period of growing, learning, adjusting, giving, taking, and changing. He also asserted that sex experiences should take place only after the marriage. Auditorium To Be Polling Place All students who have not reached their twenty-first birthday must enter Tues- day's assembly by the side doors to the auditorium! Only those who have reach- ed man's estate are to be counted on that day. You see, Junior College is the pol- ling place for College District , and the foyer of the Auditorium will be occupied by the voting booths. The law provides that electioneering may not take place near the polling place. Page 24 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press Editor's View of Kendall Address We wish to commend Dr. Kendall for his fine talk in assembly Tuesday, October 24. We admire his courage in talking on a subject which he knew would be the object of some controversy. Dr. Kendall stated that marriages should be founded on something more solid than a physical basis. Physical attraction does enter in, but it should not be the determining factor. As he said, people thinking of marriage should consider whether they have tastes and ideas in common. A We agree with him that the period of engagement should be long, that the one involved should know as much about the other and his family as is possible, and that wartime marriages should not be entered into without serious consideration. With the strain of war many people are rushing into marriage with persons they scarcely know. Girls meet men who are away from home and who are viewed in the best possible light. On the whole, uniforms tend to standard- ize men, and the standard is a good one. Thus many girls, carried away by the glamour of war and uniforms, marry men about whom they know nothing and with whom they have nothing in common. Questions About 'fMixed Marriages Statement However, we feel that there was one point in Dr. Kendall's talk which is open to question. He said, Mixed marriages don't work. He added that Catholics should marry Catholics, Protestants should marry Protestants, and Jews should marry Jews. We do not deny that there is a social problem involved when people of different relig- ious beliefs marry. However, shall we take the easy way and preserve sectarianism as it now stands, or shall we take the longer and harder way and mitigate these religious differences and strive for the One World which the late Wendell Willkie celebrated? Perhaps Dr. Kendall's suggestion would further divide the population of the world into groups. Religious differences are the inevitable and perhaps desirable result of freedom of conscience, but should these differences divide people with respect to the fundamentals of living? Should not Christian endeavor aim to unite humankind rather than to separate it? We are also bothered by certain other implications which we see in Dr, Kendall's statement. For example, does it follow that Republi- cans ushould marry Republicans and Democrats marry Democrats? Might not some peoole see an analogy lwhich Dr. Kendall will vigor- ously deny, of coursel between Dr. Kendall's Jews should marry Jews and the Nuremberg Decrees issued by the German government on September l5, l935, stipulatinci that Marriages between Jews and citizens of German or kindred blood are prohibited? Should Religious Differences Be Accentuated? Dr. Kendall is right in stating that there are difficulties in mixed marriages. However, we feel that by accentuating the differences among religious groups rather than the similarities we would be in- creasing intolerance rather than diminishing it.

Dr. Kendall Replies To Editorial lBear Tracks, thinking that Dr. Kendall's assembly talk was among the best, invited him to elaborate his remarks and to reply to cer- tain questions which we ask in the editorial on this page. He has graciously taken the time to write the following reply-Ed.l l appreciate the opportunity and the courtesy extended me to amplify some of the points l attempted to make in speak' ing at J.C. . First, l'm sure all present will recognize the definite time limita- tions put upon the speaker. lt is prob- able l would have been wiser not to have attempted such a difficult subject in such a short time. However, l will try to answer the questions Miss Land has raised in her editorial. Defends Mixed Marriages Statement 'ln speaking of mixed'marriages , l gave a sincere warning which has grown out of considerable experience. l be- lieve l said, While there are some ex- ceptions, generally mixed marriages do not work , and went on to say Catholics should marry Catholics, 'etc, etc . ln passing, let me dismiss Miss Land's worry about possible Nazi connotation in the statement, Jews should marry Jews. I helped to establish a synagogue in Los Angeles, have spoken many times in a synagogue, and count several rabbis as close personal friends. The statement has exactly the same significance as the others connected with it regarding Mormons, Protestants, and Catholics. Religion and 'Politics Different. If religious differenceswere as casual as political' party alignments, then the adjustments might be easily made. ln fact, where one of the couple to be married is indifferent to religion, I gener- ally recommend that the indifferent one change to the other's religion. For example, a Protestant boy and a Catholic girl came to me to be married. The boy, in private conference, told me 'frankly his religious life was virtually non-existent but that his bride was very devout. l advised him to change and become a Catholic and he did. This couple has made satisfactory progress in marriage. On other occasions with reversed circum- stances, l have brought Catholics and Mormons and Jews into the Protestant church with satisfactory results. How- ever, the majority of people do not feel as casually about their religious life. Even if they did, their relatives have and express definite ideas. Questions raised by the Catholic church as to the validity of marriage outside the church or the legiti- macy of children born to a Catholic mar- lContinued on Page 257 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 25 Dr. Kendall Replies To Editorial lContinued from Page 247 ried to a non'Catholic are difficult to blink aside. lt is very difficult for a Protestant girl to marry a Jewish boy and take an active part in a synagogue. Some Protestant sects which claim to be the only church present the same barriers. l'll grant the possibility of adjustment, but I have seen the tragedies which can come thru mixed marriages. . There- fore, l advise against any course where the odds are so obviously high against successful and completely happy marriage. Just as l believe a boy and girl should have as many things in common as possi- ble - enjoy same things, common in- terests, compatible standards, harmonious goals, and like to do things together-so l feel that those who have learned to pray together, stay together. No Easy Way To Successful Marriage There is no easy way to a fine, success- ful marriage. lt requires intelligent consistent democratic adjustment at all times. Therefore, it is unwise to place additional hazards in one's way. l have good friends who are Catholic, Jewish, Mormon, as well as the many other types and shades of religious groups. l'Il do everything in my power to help them worship and conduct their religious life as they please. ln the meamime, our inner family life is harmonious and our children are growing in faith. A life- time is too short to be spent in a religious battlefield, and too important to be wasted in religious neutrality . As for the bearing on Democracy and One World , tolerance in its most con- structive sense is the watchword of Demo- cracy, not the dilution and thinning out of religious convictions until they simply do not matter. CHARLES S. KENDALL Langua-ge Club Elects Officers A Spanish-American film will be shown for the Foreign-Language club Novem- ber 7, at 8:00. Refreshments will be served and songs will be sung. The Foreign-Language club elected Jean Landis as president, and Betty Fos- kett as secretary. Representatives from the Spanish classes are Dorothy Beach, Mardoquo Olivas, Paul Rogers, Betty Fos- kett, and Jane Richey. Allen Pejsa, Dorothy Fannin and Wilberta Bradshaw are :representatives from the French classes and from the German classes representa- tives are C. J. Smith and Jean Landis. THE DEAN'S OFFICE The bouquet of the week goes to Don Yeager and his committees for the Fine Halloween dance. This is the first of a number of all-school dances and promises well for the dances to come. While all students have perfect freedom in talking to their instructors at all times, students who receive grades other than A, B, and C on the six-weeks reports will have to confer with their instructors and make plans for improving their work. These are friendly conferences and should be arranged by the student. ln some instances where it might seem help- ful the student will be asked to con- fer with one of the deans. This matter should be handled promptly within a week after release of grades. A series of classes in graduate work will be heI'd shortly at the Arizona State Teachers' College in Tempe. lf students have any friends or older members of the family who might be interested they may call Mr. Monroe at the Registrar's office for full details. Smoking on the campus will be per' mitted only at the ramada and in the rectangular area in the small park of which it is a part. Smoking in the parking lot involves many fire hazards and therefore cannot be allowed. A number of students have asked about this matter, hence this word of ex- planation. Tentative Cast of Hay Fever Chosen Hay Fever , one of Noel Coward's sparkling comedies will be the first in a series ofplays presented by Masque and Dagger. The performance has' been set for Friday, December 8. Admission will be free. The play is the story of a Bohemian family and the trials and tribulations of their week-end guests. The tentative cast is as follows: Judith, a former actress, Mary Lou Lindstromj David, her husband and famous novelist, Larry Cantor, Simon, their artist son, Vic Pulis, Sorel, their young and beautiful daughter, Jayni Free- nyg Sandy, a young prize-fighter, George Prince: Myra, a dashing vamp, Rosemary Annong Richard, a suave and smooth diplomat, Dudley Miller: Jackie, a young and naive flapper, Pat Haireg and Clara, the maid, Virginia Harvey. 9 .0 L Q '. no -4 'vo ' .,D oOoo'a o00-29.' - ' j 9 Ou -BEAR 'ill'll'l HAPPY FRIDAY once again, and another pleasant week-end to look forward to. IZZ Everybody cheerful? Last week- end was a big success, as far as the Hal- loween dance went. Lots of people, lots of cider, lots of fun. Plenty of cadets turned up, so did Leon Black with a dazed look on his face about l0:30 with the comment, Hey, what's going on? BILL BERRY, SO WE HEAR, did noth- ing but sit by the wall. Maybe he's just scared of women, or maybe he was just admiring the decorations that the hard- working committee labored so hard to put up with Tim Mitchell's hindrance. Poor Herman worked energetically while Max Ward sat -on top a ladder and sur- veyed his surroundings. Seems we saw Arlene Mathew floating about, too, but can't say where. THE BAND FROM ALL'REPORTS was top-notch. Little Robbie Dean that play- ed such an excellent boogie last year in Woodson Club assembly was the pianist, and the drummer was sincerely worried about his drums for a while. Seems a Luke man took 'em over with' equal zest and force and for a while it was the survival of the fittest. ANYHOW, ALL CONCERNED ARE TO BE congratulated on its turning out as successfully as it did. Yours for more, bigger and better. Seems there was a picnic afterward, but it wasn't quite as successful. D - OUR BRAIN CHILD HAASU seems to have leaked out somewhere, more people know about it than we thought. But for you that don't, we'll promise you the big news next week: Meanwhile, we'd like to have all your suggestions as to just what HAASU does mean .... we'll print 'em if they're good enough. Mr. Smelser got as far as Heavy Ankles, but there he was stuck. Maybe you can do better . . . try it and see? AS A PARTING SHOT LET us remind you that the election will be held next Tuesday, and that dear old JC seems to be a precinct poll-lthat makes Bumstead a poller bearl.

The decoration committee headed by Arlene Mathew was composed of Tim Mitchell, Jeanne Lusby, Bill Berry, Aird Stewart, Bob Camp- bell, Mary Steadman, Albert Zeitlin, and Ruth Baum. ..1...o. Bond and Stamp Sale Reaches High Total Volunteer stamp salesmen on the campus have sold 553.15 in war stamps in the l3 days between October lO and Ccfober 27. Miss Hooper, who is in charge of the stamp sales, reported that the average daily amount sold was 54.10. Miss Miller stated that the bond sales are adding up, 5800 in bonds having been boug t on and off the campus since the inauguration of the stamp and bond campaign. She remarked that many students and faculty members have bought bonds off the campus which have not been reported to her, 8000 es: 7000 ' ' sooo . :ANU sooo Hoao 3000 ' I .

About the Movies Time finds International Picture's first production Casanova Brown , the most propitious independent debut since David O. Selznick's while the New Yorker says that Casanova Brown is above the average cinema. Both -reviews commend Nunnally John- son's script which, according to Time, establishes him more solidly than ever' as one of Hollywood's surest humorists . The half-witted comedy is well pre- sented by capable and appealing Gary Cooper, masculine star of the picture, according to both critics. How,ever, Time reports that Teresa Wright has little op- portunity to develop her performancel John Lardner of the New Yorker rates her characterization with Mr. Cooper's, The supporting cast of Frank Morgan, Patricia Collinge, and Edmond Breon, are classed as comical assets to thelperform- ance in both reviews. The New Yorker calls them pleasant creations . Casanova Brown is now being,shown at a local theatre. Mills official Visits Phoenix Mrs. Hilary Jones, director of admis- sion to Mills College, held consultations with prospective Mill students from Phoe- nix Junior College, North Phoenix High School, and Phoenix Union High School this week. A scholarship valued at S475 is given each year to an outstanding woman grad- uate of P..l.C. Last year's winner of the award was Peggy Anne Kelsay. Bears Playoff For League Standing The Bears basketball team will enter the playoff for the classification in the Phoenix Metropolitan League on Novem- ber l3. The League, which was estab- lished last year, -is an organization of basketball teams of Phoenix and vicinity, with Coach Hoy acting as chairman and the City Park and Recreation depart- ment is sponsoring this League. As yet only four teams have been classi- fied as A teams. They are Luke Field, Williams Field, O. l3.,Marston Supply Company tall winners of the tournament last yeary,and Thunderbird l. The play- off ending before December 3, will de- termine the other two A and B teams. Dutch says, lt is quite likely that we will- classify as an A team pro- viding the other teams have not improved too much. The members of the Bear team are: Don Allstrom, Joe Castellano, Tom Gann, Bill Gray, Robert 'Henderson, William Henderson, Jerry Howell, Les- Metzger, George Prince, Melvin Redden, Clayton Niles, Ernest Pafford, Dario Dale Travini, Foster Turner, and Max Ward. All basketball games will be played at the Phoenix Union High School Gym- nasium. THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD Editormg ,.,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,........... . ,........

Presenting his speech from a hundred- years-hence-viewpoint, Mr. Maxwell pointed to the tragedy of economic fatal' ism, tragedy of poor health, tragedy of racial intolerance and war, and the trag- edy of ignorance as characteristic of the period between 1929 and 1944. Mr. Maxwell told the story of the rag- ged individuaIist , Joe Doaks, the com- mon man of the present era. He said that while Joe lived in an age of marvelous technological progress, in a social and economic way he lived in the age of his grandfather, He pointed out the fact that Joe Doaks existed through the depression without the thought of breaking the rules of eco- nomics that Joe and his grandfather thought as sacred as the Ten Command- ments. Only the compulsion of war aroused people with a will to get the iob done. As a final thought, Mr. Maxwell pro- posed that the age of 1929-1944 was justified by those of that time who dreamed of a better world and had the, courage to stand against prejudice and ignorance in seeking to achieve it. Sophomores to Choose ' Annual Pictures Byron Burgess, president of the sopho- more class, and Pat Haire, editor of the annual supplement, have announced that any sophomore may choose his annual picture from the two which have been taken of him if he so desires. The pictures will be in Bear Tracks of- fice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday activity periods. Sophomores who have not ye? had their pictures taken will have an opportunity for this in the near future, according to Pat Haire. STUDE TS TO PRESENT BROADCAST ON MONDAY in Mr. Walter Maxwell, guest speaker at last Tuesday's assembly COMMITTEESR ron HAY FEVER ANNOUNCED At a meeting of the Masque and Dag- ger Club, held last week, committees were chosen for Hay Fever , a light comedy written by Noel Coward and scheduled for presentation on December 8. Phyllis Barabe, chairman of the prop- erties committee, has as her assistants Larry Cantor, Pat Foutz, Barbara Bell, Ruth Baum, and Don Yeager. The stage crew includes Tom Gann, chairman, Don Yeager, Tim Mitchell, Gloria Grosh, and Barbara Smith. Pat Haire and Rosemary Annon constitute the publicity commit- tee. The prompters will be Dorothy Beach, head prompter, Mary Lou Chambers, Barbara Bell, and Aird Stewart. Cast members are Mary Lou Lindstrom, Larry Cantor, Jane Freeny, Victor Pulis, Rosemary Annon, Dudley Miller, Pat Haire, and Virginia Harvey. Night meetings were voted to be held in the Club Room. Pat Hockenberry is 'chairman for the first night meeting, but the date, as yet, is indefinite. Skits Will Encourage Sale of War Bonds ln a drive to sell more war bonds, students of Mr. Smelser's speech class 55 will present their first broadcast of the season over station KPHO at 9:15 next Mon- day evening. The program will consist of short skits portraying various people who buy war bonds, why they do so, and the results of their purchases. Participants in the first program will be Pat Haire, Don Yeager, Cy Grassman, Nancy Newton, Barbara Smith, Alice Mary Edwards, Viola Hartshorn, and Eloise Phillips. The script was written by Mr. Smelser. The purpose of the speech cIass , said Mr. Smelser, is to provide certain types of relations for the Junior College, and to inform the public of school af- fairs. These programs will consist main- ly of music, dramatics, and discussions of local and national affairs. In the fu- ture there may be two programs a week, therefore we are anxious to get better acquainted with the campus,talent. He also suggested that students could help a great deal by listening to the pro- grams and offering suggestions for im- provement. All scripts other than the first one will be written by Junior College students. Louise Rowlands will write the musical continuity for the second program, which will present Blanche Smathers and her sister. Aird Stewart will present the execu- tive board of the Junior College on the third program. Vic Pulis will write a dramatic skit to be presented the fourth Monday. A pro- gram dealing with the interesting origin of words, spelling, and pronunciation will be written by Pat Haire. The sixth pro- gram, to be presented on December 18, will consist of readings of war verse written by soldiers in both World Wars. This program will be arranged by Eloise Phillips. 4 4 Page 28 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS l iTsEEMsToME Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press LASTING PEACE OR LAXNESS? Tomorrow is Armistice Day, a symbol of lasting failure, a tribute to ideals that were betrayed. Once more we are en- gaged in total war giving the world an' other chance to build a lasting peace. It is appropriate to the times to speak of the steps being taken now to insure postwar security. The encouraging note of the present effort is that responsible planning is taking place now, before the end of the war and the swing to back to normalcy philosophy. A BETTER SYSTEM From Dumbarton Oakes has come the first word of an official organization to plan the peace. They call themselves the World Security League, and do not strive for unity but rather for cooperation among all nations. This league is superior to that formed after the last war in many ways. First and foremost, force will be used when necessary. This is already agreed upon. Secondly, the United States and the USSR are obligated to ioin. In fact, all nations will necessarily be members, and no resignations will be accepted. Lastly, plans are being formulated now while the nations are still unified in a common cause and more readily agreeable with one another. FOUR MAJOR BODIES Physically, the league will consist of four major bodies: an assembly represent- ing all powers, an executive council con- sisting of five permanent members CUS, USSR, Great. Britain, China, and France when ablei and six non-permanent mem- bers elected by the assemblyg a court to rule over disputes between nations and interpret international law: and a secre- tariat. The primary power lies in the council. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURE Each nation will place a limited number of troops at the league's disposal. Action to organize an international air corps is also taking place. These forces will be ready for instant use, subject only to the league, so that the red tape of parlia- mentary discussion in the various coun- tries concerned will be avoided. The present hot potato is the deter- mining of voting procedure. The favored suggestion seems to be that no force is to be used without the unanimous consent of the Big Five and the vote of two non-permanent members of the execu- tive council. This would make it impos- sible for any aggression to take place ex- cept on the part of one of the Five. They could not be stopped, for they have the power of veto. UNDEMOCRATIC Thus, as set up, we feel that the World Security League is not democratic. The five powers are in a position to suppress any movement, liberal or fascist, by force. Peace is never static: it is the product of responsible and sensitive government. Therefore, international anarchism is no guarantee of peace. The League must not become a means for furthering imperialism and spreading exploitation. Not only must it have nega- tive control, but it must have positive assets. The League must feel a sincere duty to advance backward nations and to carry out the principles set forth in the Atlantic Charter. There must be more than a mere good policing the bad. THE LEAGUE'S AIMS Fortunately, the League has other ideals. They list three aims for their exis- tence: security from war, adjustment of disputes, and advancement of human wel- fare. This will only be possible if the peo- ple all over the world are in accordance with the plans and will sacrifice for their fulfillment. CONGRESSIONAL ISSUE This brings us to a. vital domestic problem. Will Congress relinquish their sole right of declaring war to the League's delegate from this country? The League will need that power to back conviction. Re-elected President Roosevelt has said in a speech before the Foreign Policy Association that our delegate will have that power. Whether Congress will see eye to eye with the President is another matter. REASON FOR HOPE In conclusion, let us reiterate that as now set up the World Security League is not only flimsy but impractical. lt is, on the other hand, a step in the right direction. There is indeed reason to hope that other wars can be avoided, for there is nothing to prevent the people from building a more stable, strong, and demo- cratic world government if they are gen- uinely interested in a lasting peace. .

Proper etiquette demands that a person receiving a formal, written in- vitation to a social function should an- swer it in writing. This is the courteous way, a half-hearted l'll be there will not suffice. I Silence is golden, but not when the silence is the silence of the iuke box. Why doesn't anyone ever put in nickels anymore? Could it be that the students of J. C. have lost their taste for music with their food? The political campain is at last over. lt has been interesting, but l think al- most everyone is glad that he can listen to his favorite radio programs again. With the first breath of winter the sweaters have again blossomed forth. They are all drapes and shapes, the idea being that if you have seven sweaters and only one skirt you can look different every day. Since very few people go to the ramada to smoke, there is a possibility that there might be something wrong with it. For one thing, it is too far from the buildings for one to be able to hear the bell when it rings. lt is cold in winter, and the seats are hard. The grass around it, which is soft, is often wet. The students would be glad to go to a set place to smoke, but they would like it to be a place where it is at least-comfortable. An article of interest is A Soldier Looks at the Church which appears in the October issue of Harper's. It was written by Russell C. Stroup, a Presby- terian minister who is now serving as a chaplain in the army. He states clearly and concisely the faults of the church today and what can be done to overcome these faults. Nothing that he said was completely unknown to me, but it was rather interesting that a minister should say the things he did. Perhaps this is a step in the right direction toward correct- ing the shortcomings in the present-day church. However, his attitude must be shared by the majority of the clergymen before any constructive work can be done. E.

Men who anticipate going into the service should be thoroughly familiar with the arrangements that have been made to enable them to receive a part or all of the credits due to them. By taking the examinations over the work completed, one who has completed half the semester may receive half credit for his work. If he has completed 12 weeks, two thirds credit will be given. By anticipating the rest of the work for the semester it is even pos- sible for him to receive full credit after 'I2 or 'l5 weeks by doing the ad- vance work and taking the final ex- aminations over the entire course. At the request of the assembly committee, the office will post each week a list of names of those who are not present in assembly. This is being done to assure the assembly committee that no errors are made because some' one is in the wrong seat. If an error should have occurred, see Miss Miller and straighten the matter out. Club Elects Officers Newly elected officers of the Woodson Club are lonia Dixon, president, Rose- mary Phillips, vice-president, Charlesetta Lee, secretary and reporter, and Amos McGriff, treasurer. Meetings are held every Friday after- noon. Mr. Andres is sponsor and plans are being made for an eventful year. WAA TO APPOINT ATHLETIC MANAGERS Officers of the Women's Athletic As- sociation will soon appoint managers for all major sport teams: hockey, tennis, baseball, volleyball, and archery. In ad- dition to these, there may be a bowling team that will bowl one evening each week. There is to be a freshman and sophomore manager for each sport, whose duty it is to promote interest in the sport and to arrange for tournaments between classes. The W. A. A. is sponsored by Miss Laura Herron, and is made up of the sports-loving girls in Phoenix Junior Col- lege. Membership is open to all women students. The fundamental purpose of the association is to maintain health and cultivate the love of out'of-doors. In the past, points were given for par- ticipation in each sport and awards were determined by the point system. This system was discontinued last year, but it is again under consideration as the means of competing for awards. Officers of this association are Phyllis Barabe, president, Faith Niles, vice-presi- dent, Anna Smith, secretary-treasurer, and Ruth Condrey, social chairman. Council Dissusses Carnival The Inter-Society Council met Tuesday to discuss plans for a school carnival un- der the sponsorship of the social clubs. Benefits from the carnival are to be do- nated to the War Students Service Fund. No final decision was made by the council in regard to the societies' partici- pation in the project. ON THE SPOT According to a recent publication of the New Yorker the British are not disap- pointed in our men because they meas- ure up to the standards of a Warner Brothers B picture. Judging from the B pictures which we have lately endured, our standards of men or movies are in dire need of a lift. The British may find it romantic, we find it alarming. We've seen too many B pictures. What a Difference a Day Makes is back on the platters and fast growing into a favorite. Could it be a sign of the times? Time waits for no one. When will we stop screaming One World and start scheming One World ? We hear from a radio commentator that the United States has at- least one planned city, Kingsport, Tennessee. This city was not allowed to grow hap- hazardly and then reorganized. It was planned ahead in architectural, govern- mental, and educational structure. ln planning its charter its citizens consulted authorities on progressive government, they consulted Columbia University pro- fessors in planning its educational pro- gram. lt's one of those impossibilities, an industrial city without smoke. lt is to be referred to as a' model in rebuilding the vanquished cities of Eu- rope. It might be used as a model in rebuild- ing the vanquished cities of the United States. . R. A. SORORITIES HOLD PARTIES FOR RUSHEES Junior College sororities are inaugur- ating their social season with a series of rush parties. The first of these parties was a dinner given by Theta last Thurs- day evening at the Hotel Westward Ho, and the second of the events will be a dinner tonight given by Alpha Sigma Gamma at the Westward Ho. Tomorrow morning Alpha will entertain with a breakfast at the Hotel Westward Ho. Kappa Delta Nu plans a rush party at the home of Nancy Newton on Novem- ber I7, and Phi Lambda Zeta has sched- uled a rush tea to be held at the home of May Ann McKesson on November l8. Page 30 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB WITNESSES COLORED FILM A colored film entitled Sun- daysin the Valley of Mexico, was witnessed by approximately l3O members of the Foreign Language Club, at an evening meeting held at 7 o'clock last Wednesday in the Blue and Gold Room. This I l-minute film not only portrayed the activities of the Mexican people, but also their sentiments and convictions. The contrast of modern life amid ancient surroundings constituted an unusual set- ting. lt portrayed Mexico as it is today, with its modern buildings and highways and the traditional bull fights and fes- tivals. Scenes of the canal at Xochimilco, with its flowered deck, were also shown. The projector was run by C. J. Smith and Eldon Hamblin. Miss Hunter led the group in singing songs in many languages. The committeemen who planned and arranged the books of songs in the various languages were Dorothy Fannin and Dor- othy Beach. Refreshments, which were arranged by C. J. Smith, Allen Pejsa, and Dorothy Beach, were served. This is the second year that the For- eign Language department has not had separate clubs for each language. Last year, as an experimental project, the clubs were organized into one large club. This group was considered so success- ful by those who took part in it that they voted, unofficially, to continue as one organization. The president of the consolidated Foreign Language Club is Jean Landis. Betty Foskett is secretary. Anout THE Movies 'Arsenic and Old Lace' seems practi- cally as funny in picture form as it did on the stage , says the New Yorker. Time finds the film a reasonable facsimile of the Broadway comedy. Only when the humor self-conscious- ly strains to convulse rather than to warm its audience will playgoers begin to feel that the the movie comes off second' best, says Time. The two Brooklyn spinsters who make a hobby of dosing old men with arsenic are commended in both reviews: Jose- phine Hull and Jean Adair administer wine as gracefully as ever. Raymond Massey, who takes the part Karloff made famous, is appropriate in this part according to the New Yorker. Character studies, left to right, are Pat Haire, Mary Lou Lindstrom, Bill Bridge- watek and Mr. Smelser. All concerned seem hardatwygrk on next Tuesday's play. - Assembly to Feature First Anniversary A one-act play will be presented by the Dramatic Arts 81 class under the di- rection of Mr. J. N. Smelser on Novem- ber I4. The comedy, entitled, Their First Anniversary , and written by Ann Morrison, has three characters: Millicent, a young and temperamental wife, is played by Mary Lou Lindstromg Henry, her long-suffering husband, is portrayed by Bill Bridgewaterg and Mrs. Tucker, the extremely easy-going maid, is played by Pat I-laire. Arrangements for the set will be made by the Property Committee, members of which are Marilyn Lee, chairman, Bev- erly Busey, Ruth Baum, and Patsy Foutz. EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING Last Thursday, November 2, the Executive Board met and discussed plans for a carnival to be held sometime in December. The carnival is being given to raise funds for the World Student Serv- ice Fund Drive. Albert Zeitlin and Les Metzger were appointed to investigate plans. lt was suggested that each sorority be in charge of a booth. A student body picnic was also sug- gested and a dance for the football team is being planned approximately for the 20th of this month. Cary Grant and Priscilla Lane catch on without much trouble , adds the New Yorker critic. , Arsenic and Old Lace is appearing at a local theatre. THE NEW BOOKS Hotel Berlin '43 by Vicki Baum, ran in serial form in Colliers and is typical of what Hayakawa has termed slicks. It is easy reading for the simple reason that it rides along on your already formed preju- dices, conceptions and hopes of thoughts and actions in Germany today. It goes exactly like all good little magazine stories go. Typical of her propaganda style lwith which the book is repletel is the brilliant general who knows Germany is lost, leaves the front with a toothache, and receives a warning from the Gestapo to eliminate himself or be eliminated. He thinks to himself, No, it doesn't pay for a Prussian officer to use com- mon sense. We aren't made for it. We've got to leave that to the Jews and the Americans. So he puts a gun to his head, cries out for mother, and dies of heart failure. It absolutely runs off the pages. And I could go on and on. ' One good phrase that caught my eye was, aImost cross-eyed with concentra- tion . Hotel Berlin '43 is to be found in the English reading room. 0459.

The Dean's article discusses the im- portant, though sometimes brief, con- tacts which the college has offered to men going into the armed services, the important contribution made by the aero- nautical programs, over the last five years, the reorganization of the mathematics courses in view of specialized war needs, the establishment of a psychiatrical clinic for work in rehabilitation, the courses in child care and nursery school teaching, and the many other changes which have been made in order that the institution might better play its part in the fight against fascism. lncidentally, the biographical sketch which accompanies the article tells that Dean Wyman has been at Junior College since l93l and 'gives a list of his many civic activities, which include the chair- manship of'the Maricopa County Red Cross. Assembly Will Feature Williams Field Men The Sixth War Bond Drive is on. Next Tuesday, to 'start this patriotic era off with a bang, the assembly will be given by the enlisted personnel from Wil- liams Field. Sgt. Mel Ford whO will be M. C. of the show, has promised that it will be one of the funniest variety shows ever held here on the J. C. campus. As a heodliner, the G.ls. will offer their version of the Andrews Sisters, Frankie Sinatra, and Carmen Miranda. All this will be given with proper musical back- ground and costumes. Other features will be, Pvt. Wilbur Hood at the piano, songs by Sgt, Paul Lasswell, and direct from the cast of This ls The Army will be Sgt. Al Shapiro. Coach Hoy, who will pil' the J. C.

P399 32 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College n Member Associated Collegiate Press on ,BEAR f f SNO BERY OR EQUALITY Upon exploring the pages of our little-looked-at Blue Book we have come across the following illuminating quotation: -was organized for the purpose of 'promotion of congeniality, a feeling of Sisterhood, and cooperation in all activities, intellectual and social, which shall make for the improvement of ourselves and the growth of Junior College.' A IDEALS ARE EXCELLENT This is a practical summing-up of the professed founding purposes of the five junior college sororities. ln this we find an admirable pledge. ln fact, we find it exemplary of good democratic conduct, indicating a desire for the elimination of prejudice, snobbery, and exclusiveness, and a desire for the promotion of the common welfare. We would presume, moreover, that a feeling of sisterhood cannot be limited by an issue of invitation and that it cannot be fully realized when membership in an organization pledged to be Christian Women defines its Christianity in a limited sphere. We might ask if there has been, throughout the history of this pledge to Christian sisterhood , any evidence of interracial sisterhood. BUT PERFORMANCE IS FOUND WANTING Too, there may be some question as to what these organizations ordain intellectual and social activity for the growth of Junior College. To our knowledge these Junior College societies are limited in Social activities to a-few parties which, in the main, are centered about the rushing season. Of their intellectual endeavors we are conscious only of the annual assemblies which they may or may not produce, Of their efforts to broaden the horizon of Junior College we are un- conscious. lt seems, then, that either these organizations have misstated their purposes or do not fully realize the implications of their pronounce- ments. lf the former is true, is it not wiser and fairer that they represent themselves truely? If the latter is true, we have attempted to shed some light on the matter. We think the stated ideals and objectives of the Junior College sisterhoods are excellent. But we must ask whether they have not been lost from sight in the hurly-burly of daily life.- CLUBS HAVE RARE OPPORTUNITY In these social clubs Bear Tracks sees an excellent opportunity for the promotion on the campus of genuine democratic social ideals. They have only to heed and understand the words of their founders to achieve this end. lf . I 0 QQ f N . go I x ,- - ,.., , .

That is what makes us afrid to thrust him naked into the calloused world for your judg- ment, harsh and cruel. WE HAVE NOTED OF LATE that most students ache for things to happen and pop, but yet won't yield the necessary ef- fort to carry through many programs. Everything is luke warm and half hearted. But I-IAASU must now stand on his own feet, and if he rates you will take him to your bosom like we all have, for he is a very dear character to us. And more than vital! But our hopes for him are withering. It will take YOU to revive him and carry forth the ideals poor little HAASU stands for. HAASU DOES NOT STAND for Heavi, Ankles are Sometimes Useful as Mack suggested, or Haire and Annon Associat- ed Suckers Union as deRoulac thought. No indeedy, HAASU stands for, HOVV ABOUT A STUDENT UNION? Now in the strictest sense of the word, a student union means a building where the students congregate, loaf, study, dance, operate a soft drink counter, book store, and school supplies department. Sometimes even clothing is considered. Naturally, our little HAASU could not burst forth full born in such a manner of grandeur. No, all we ask at the moment is a place to loaf, congregate, study, and dance. Doesn't seem like too much of a request, does it? True, at the moment no money seems available. But North High got the money for a barbecue pit, we could raise enough dough for a modest HAASU. Nothing ever is accomplished unless the ball starts rolling sometime, and we're now tossing it to you. Only through the united efforts of the whole student body will little HAASU mature. WE HESITATE TO THROW the bur- den of the problem on the Executive Board, because we know the Board pretty well, having sat in on many meetings. They are conscientious, but a little on the procrastinating side. But if YOU keep heckling and nagging and are truly inter- ested, we may be-able to evolve a real, live, honest to goodness HAASU. We've got the ground, we've got the energy. HAASU is ncw yours. -P. H.

Dr. Hutchins' experimentation in new methods of learning, the theory of allow- ing a student to progress as fast as he is able, has for some years been the center of a wide-spread controversy. Maintain- ing that a liberal education is primarily the best' background for any intelligent citizen, Dr. Hutchins advocates the Hu- manities as opposed to the recent rise of vocational training. An article entitled Education tor Free- dom , by Dr. Hutchins can be found in the October, 1941 issue of Harpers. Dr. Hutchins is reputed to be an able speaker as well as a very capable writer and educator. ...0i..... G. l.'s, Freshmen Present Assemblies Colleen Tummins, pianist, proved to be the hit ot the Freshman talent assembly when the applause of the audience call- ed her back for an encore after her ren- dition ot 'Malaguena by Lecuona. For her second number Colleen played Chop- in's Fanta5ie Impromptu. Aird Stewart, mistress 'of ceremonies, introduced the talented freshmen. The program included a dance by the Bettys, Heflin and Sawyer, a trumpet solo by George Peek, a piano duet by Jackie Sal- yards and Betty Sasser, and a vocal solo by Norma Lee Pond. Ed Hubbell, Freshman class president, did his bit by pulling the curtain. The G. l. version of the Andrew Sisters isinging Straighten Up and Fly Right l highlighted the Williams Field variety show brought to the assembly November 21, by Mr. J. Howard Pyle of KTAR. This show was presented in connection with the Sixth War Loan Drive. The cast included such personalities as Sgt. Paul Lasswell, Pfc. Stanley lsaacs, Sgt. Al Shapiro and Sgt. Mel Ford, who was master of ceremonies. THE DEAN'S OFFICE This week's bouquet goes to Arlene Mathew for the Thanksgiving dance. Thanks to Mr. T. 0. Campbell for cleaning up and repainting the outside bulletin boards. An informal hour in the cafeteria is new held during activity period every day except Tuesday, when it is open during third period. Play Date Changed Hay Fever, a comedy by Noel Cow- ard, will be presented by members ot the Masque and Dagger Club on December 15, at 8:30 p. m. in the Auditorium. The play was previously scheduled for De- cember 8. i Members of the Women's Honor Board will usher tor the event, and mem- bers ot the Drarnatics 81 class are in charge of make-up. FUTURE EVENTS V Becauserulings of the Inter-Society Council demand a two week interval between rushing and pledging for J.C. sorsrities, the tentative date for an- nouncing pledges and holding pledge parties has been placed on December 14. POW Camp Official To Talk In Assembly Captain Davis, a representative from the German Prisoners of War Camp at Papago Park, will be presented in assem- bly Tuesday, December 5. The subject of his speech will be the conditions ot the camp for the prisoners, what their work- ing hours are, what they do during those hours to improve this city, and what the prisoners do in their spare time. He will also bring tor display examples of the wood carvings and other beautiful objects that the prisoners have made with their hands. i 1 l l 1 1 l i 1 i 1 i At 7:30 p. m. next Monday, the Phoenix Junior College basketbali team will meet the Aluminum Company's team in the Phoenix Union High School gymnasium. At 8:30 the Williams Field Fliers will oppose Thunderbird Field Nc. 1. These two games mark the be- ginning of the Metropolitan Bas- ketball League. Two games will be played every evening Monday through Thursday, with one major and minor league game scheduled nightly. The major league teams are Williams Field, Thunderbird Nc. 1, Marstons Supply, Luke Field, and Peoria. The minor league teams are Phoenix Junior College, Aluminum Company, Goodyear Aircrafters, Litchfield Park, Cooi- idge Air Transport, and Naval Air Facility. Metzger Nears Record In a basketball game held last Friday in -our Gymnasium, the Phoenix Junior College Bears de- feated the Naval Air Facility team 42 to 39. Les Metzger, who scor- ed 34 points during the game, came within 3 points of tying Gor- don Goodman's high score of 37. Gordon was a former student here. The high-score man, judged on the basis of a complete season, was Jack Lindstrom, also a forme' J. C. student. He scored 447 points in 26 games, approximately 17 points per game. The scores of all games played to date are as follows: BEARS GUESTS 46 26 Goodyear Aircraft 53 31 Goodyear Town Team 34 56 Tempe State 60' 41 Tolleson 46 26 CoolidgeAirTransport 42 39 Naval Air Facility Page 36 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press Golf Course or Garbage Cans Which Do We Want? A question of great interest to students of Phoenix Junior College and to the community as a whole is the proposed subdivision of the tract of land directly across from the college and adjacent to En- canto Park on Thomas Road between Seventh and Fifteenth Avenues. This tract, comprising about 26 acres, is a part of the Dorris Estate, which once included all of the land which is now Encanto Park. It is now owned by a real estate company which has requested that the City Commission give it permission to subdivide the land for the pur- pose of building on it private residences. The alternative would be for the city to purchase the land. It would be turned over to the City Parks, Playgrounds, and Recreation Board, and a nine-hole golf course would be built there as soon as conditions make it possible. Considered from an artistic point of view the latter course would seem infinitely wiser. Garbage Cans Utilitarian But Not Pretty If the proposed project of subdividing the tract of land is carried out, there is a strong possibility that Edgemont will be extended, thus cutting the strip longitudinally. lf this were done houses would prob- ably be placed facing the street on either side, This would mean that the backs of the houses would face Encanto Park on one side and Thomas Road on the other. Wth the backs of houses go garbage cans, ash cans, garages, and other such eyesores. Needless to say, these are very necessary things, but they are certainly not attractive and can do nothing but detract from the beauty of both the college and the park. Even if houses of the highest type were built FACING Thomas Road, the attractiveness of the college would not be enhancedf Surely an unbroken vista of green trees and lawn is by far the more desirable thing. E Improvement of Other Parks Also Necessary The argument has been raised that before additions are made to Encanto Park, the parks on the south side of the city should be im- proved. We would be the first to say that these Iatterlparks must be madebetter. However, if the land in question were subdivided it would be an irreparable loss to the city. Additions to Encanto Park would by this act be made an impossibility. ln the best interests of city planning and of future developments it seems wiser for the city to purchase this land. Write The Mayor! Those of you who feel a responsibility toward the future of the community should assert yourselves by writing to the mayor and re- questing that the city purchase this strip of land to be used as an addition to Encanto Park. THIS U.. 39 tg4, 'Xa A HONEST TO HAILE SELASSI, we're real- ly getting griped. In fact, griped to the point that before long we're gonna wash our hands of the whole affair. lf you don't care if nothing happens to make you hap- py, why should we? You're gonna turn us bitter before long. For instance, how about that basketball game and dance a week ago Friday? There was no stud- ent support whatsoever to speak of. No one can convince us that a little rain scares all of you off. The game was good and the dance could have been. What made us sore was the fact that school leaders even refuse to participate. If we weren't so filled with the spirit of human kindness we'd mention names. He stayed home and studied. Not that studies don't have their place, but my gosh, fellasl HAPPILY THE THANKSGIVING dance was much more of a success. Lots of peo- ple and lots of fun and good music and the same punch. Maybe it just goes to show that we oughta plan every thing ahead of time. Looks like you can't take these spur of the minute affairs. WHAT ABOUT THE GAME LAST Fri- day night? There were about I4 rooters, and that's-a fat estimate. We think there isn't too much advance publicity, but even so you can ferret out such news. The game was a loo-loo with Swisher Metzger plopping them in as usual. You'cZ be surprised if you saw 'em play. We've got a darn good team, and, for your in- formation, have lost only one game so far. There's a lot of good ones coming up, too. Now bethere, doggone it! lAsk Fudgeface Henderson about his brilliant play of the eveningfi Only casualty was Prince's wrist, but grapevine sources say it'll be ok. DID YOU ALL LIKE the William's Field Assembly? Personally we thought it fizzled out. The only thing enjoyable to us was the piano player. Maybe we just don't appreciate art. IN CLOSING LET us add, and very sadly, that from the looks of things HAASU is as good as buried. We want you to know that only one person ap- proached us and said, It's a good idea. I'm with you. Tell us, where is the Executive Board? We figured we might add a few converts if we gave our dear lit- tle HAASU a last name. So we have . . . WASP. That stands for, With a Swim- ming Pool.

To be found in the English Reading Room. Faith, Reason, and Civilization is an lnistorical analysis of the communist revo- lution which Harold J. Laski, the author of the book, says is still taking place. Mr. Laski, a professor at the School of Eco- nomics of the University of London, treats an economic and political subject of prime importance intelligently and practically. Mr. Laski points out the fact that the people of the United Nations are fighting and working ncw with the idea in mind that victory will bring the freedom which they desire. ln his opinion a victory for the United Nations, which is necessarily a prerequisite of freedom, will bring freedom to only a very small proportion of the worId's population unless that victory is used as a means to a greater end than mere military victory. The main theme of Mr. Laski's book is is the need for a new faith or system of values by which men can live together. Mr. Laski sees the necessary faith in the principles of the Russian Revolution. .,.0.-. T.

G. M. THE DEAN'S OFFICE This week's orchid goes to Miss Hunter and the combined foreign lang- uage clubs for the' fine meeting they put on November 8. This is another of the fine activities that is available ,to the student on oulr campus. The basketball season is getting under- way. Basketball has always been the outstanding sport at Junior Col- lege and lends itself to the restrictions of wartime better than some other sports. Cpach Hoy has had a reputa- tion for turning out splendid teams. It is an opportunity to wqrk with him in the sport, and the interest ,and enthus- iasm of the student body will be ap- preciated. SOCIAL CLUBS END RUSH SEASON Ending the rush season for Junior Col- lege Sororities, two social clubs are having their rush parties this weekend.

Phi Lambda Zeta will have a rush tea at the home of Mary Ann McKesson, president, at 4 p. rn. on November l8. ABOUT THE MOVIES Laura, says Time , is a highly polished and debonair whodunit with only one inelegant smudge in its gleaming sur- face. The New Republic counters with Laura is a movie expose of society peo- ple that is more awed with them than critical. The New Republic comments that Gene Tierny acts the part of Laura with no other qualities than there are in a fashion mannequin on parade, while Time indi- cates agreement, saying that the picture puts only a slight strain on the leading lady's acting. Of the picture's director, Otto Premin- ger, Time speaks commendably calling his direction slick. New Republic says this direction makes lthe filml more obvious and more like Tin. Both reviews laud Clifton Webb's per- formance. In discussing the' movie's plot Time says the plot is double-barrelled making a mystery not only of the killer but the killed. The New Republic finds 'Laura' is also murder film, but its crime is treated romantically, like its people, only more so. Laura is appearing now at a local theatre. P696 34 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE J. W. REYNOLDS CANVASSES JC COURSES ln an attempt to determine the effect of college courses on former students of the Junior College, Mr. James W. Rey- nolds, Dean of the Fort Smith Junior Col- lege, Arkansas, has been on campus Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. His work here has consisted mainly of going over the records of the 1940-41 Junior College graduates, collecting infor- mation concerning textbooks andobject- ives of the courses they took, and inter- viewing faculty members. Mr. Reynolds, who has had 17 years experience as a teacher and administrator in public schools, is making his current study under a traveling fellowship issued by the General Education Board of The Rockefeller Foundation. Mr. Leonard V. Koos, professor at the University of Chicago and chairman of Mr. Reynold's advisory committee, says, The issues Mr. Reynolds is investigat- ing seem to me of major importance for education at the junior college level. Al- so, his plan of inquiry and his competence give promise of highly useful outcomes. Arlene Mathews Elected Social Commissioner Arlene Mathew was elected new Social Commissioner Monday at a special meet- ing of the officers of the student body called by the president, Herman Lipow. Arlene was elected to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Don Yeager. The new social commissioner is now working on plans for a Thanksgiving dance. l would also like to get started on plans for afternoon mixers if the stu- dents want them, she said.

Stewart JC Students Are Active in CAP Vic Pulis, now a student at Junior Col- lege, is an active member of the Civil Air Patrol. His absence from school November 1 through November 8 was due to his participation in the search for a P-51 Mustang that was lost some- where between Mines Field, California, and Coolidge, Arizona. The Arizona wing of the CAP works as an auxiliary in conjunction with the Second Air Force irghe search and rescue of downed aircraft. The flight personnel confine their activities to this state, except in extreme emergencies. Membership in this organization is on a voluntary basis. Boys, 16-21, and girls, 16-18, are admitted into the Cadet Corps. They enroll in such courses as navigation, mechanics, and communication. The adult group is comprised of girls over 18 -and boys over 21. The CAP does not give flying instruction, but any member may take flying lessons at Sky Harbor on their own time. Those who cannot fly go on missions as navigators, observers, or radiomen. Pilots are paid seven dollars a day while on missions, and observers are paid six. When the airmen wear their uniforms they are under the same military regula- tion as the flyers from the surrounding field. They must observe all military courtesies and are subject to arrest by any M. P.

About The Movies Both the New Yorker and Time find Kismet a better than average escape cinema of the Ali Baba and Forty Thieves type. Time says Kismet is the old romance dressed up in some of the finest techni- color yet filmed. The New Yorker com- ments that Kismet relies on a huge consignment of oriental dry goods photo- graphed in technicolor and an exotic in- door harem swimming pool. However, the magazine adds that 'Kismet' is more good humored and lighter of foot than most costume pictures. Of itsleading actors, Marlene Dietrich and Ronald Coleman, the New Yorker re- ports, iMiss Dietrichl looks good and takes it easy, Mr. Coleman, though busier is scarcely more serious. The Time critic sums the picture up with 'Kismet' is lucious to look at, and more often than not its fantasy falls vic- tim to its opulence. . . 'lil- V. 7 .

The rnost interesting accounts, I found, were those describing the politi- cal situation within Italy after the fall of the balcony empire. Among the figures interviewed are Bene- detto Croce, Count Sforza, Dr. Rodino, and Marshal Bacloglio. It is interesting to compare the poli- tical conditions of today with Tre- gaskis' retrospect account of the internal conditions of Italy a year ago. I wish I had as clear an ac- count ofthe internal conditions of France following the Allied inva- sion of that country in June as I have now of those of Italy after our landings at Anzio, Cassino, and Salerno. -Myles Hill THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD Editor , ,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,...,,. ...,. , ......, E Iizabeth Land Editorial Staff: Pat Haire, Rosemary Annon, Ruth Con- drey, Gertrude Mack, Mary Fitzgerald.

The scene will be laid in a country home in England owned by a very modern, bohemian family con- sisting of author Father, iLarry Cantori, actress Mother, lMary Lou Lindstromi, painter Son Nic Pulisl, and young and vivacious Daughter, Uane Freenyl. The plot, every play's requisite, is con- cerned with the family's weekend guests. Each member has issued an invitation, but their gregarious taste does not confine them to the original individual of their choice. During the play, since it is rain- ing outside, the family and guests amuse themselves by arguing and making love inside. Father studies Son's guest, Rose- mary Annon, a self-conscious vamp. Moth- er and Daughter's guest, Dudley Miller, get along fine until he gives her a mean-. ingless kiss. Son and Father's guest, Pat Haire, play in the garden while Daughter and Mother's guest, Bill Bridgewater, a naive boxer, have a few rounds in the library. The guests, disgusted, with the setup, finally walk out amid a battle be- tween the members of the Family . . . cynically called the Blisses. Behind the right and left wings will be seated those of appropriate voice: the prompters, Dorothy Beach and Mary Lou Chambers.

Outlines Reform To Bear Tracks Reporter By ELLEN REX University professors should help students find the purpose of life, to learn How to appreciate life and its meaning, Dr. Hut- chins declared last Monday after- noon in a short but snappy inter- view with this reporter. Dr. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, will speak tonight in the PJC Auditorium under the auspices of the American Association of University Women and the Phoenix Jun- ior College, his subject being The Issue in Education. Since his appointment at the University of Chicago in 1929, he has introduced many startling changes in their education- al program. The system, which he inau- gurated there, allows the student to prog- ress as fast as he is able. When asked by Bear Tracks how he plans to spread this system to other schools throughout the country Dr. Hutchins replied, Our only plan to spread this system is through the power of example. If the results are good, other schools will try to imitate our plan. lf not, the whole issue will be forgotten. Vocational education is a substitute for thought, he remarked, when asked if he saw any way to combine vocational training with liberal education while at- tending a university. Dr. Hutchins holds that such subjects as ice-skating and boy-girl relationships have no place in the school curriculum. Extra-curricular subjects such as these should be taught through other social agencies such as the church, home, and clubs-if they need to be taught at all. In answer to the query, Why has foot- ball become so popular in the universi- ties? , Dr. Hutchins abruptly replied, For the sole purpose oflmaking money. The gladitorial combat waged every Saturday does not aid the students in any way. When asked if he would clarify the main point of dissension between himself and Mr. James Marshall, who is Dr. Hut- chin's main opponent, he replied, Mr. Marshall just doesn't want to take the Page 40 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE E BEAR TRACKS lTsEEMsToME Published By the- Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press Bear Tracks Reviews Hutchins' Case Tonight the foremost exponent of li- beral education in America today will speak in our auditorium. His name is Rob- ert M. Hutchins. Dr. Hutchins has long criticized the present educational system for its inefficiency and lack of specific purpose. He calls for a revising of our school curriculums, saying that our two national traits impede us. They are a dis- belief in anything abstract or theoretical and a naive faith in education. Dr. Hut- chins maintains that this last trait has thrown a tremendous load upon the schools, requiring them to teach what should be taught in the home and church. Dr. Hutchins goes on to say that our educated are not educated, that there has been a general watering down of quality in work and instruction, and that vocation- all training is not practical due to fast change and the school curriculum's in- flexibility to meet it. , Education is Sloppy - Agreed We agree with Dr. Hutchins that our educational system is not doing the job it should-that is, educating a person for freedom in a democratic state, teach- ing him how to spend his spare time, showing him the aim of life and the path to happiness. We agree with Dr. Hutchins that an individual should be a citizen first, a technician second. We also agree that people should be taught to read and write and to speak intelligently, but we do not agree with his methods of acheiving his aim. Dr, Hutchins proposes a return to the classics. He sets up a four year course which would include the last two years of high school and the first two of col- lege and devotes them to the study of lOO great books. After that comes spe- cialization. This is to be the general edu- cation for the whole population. He claims it will teach them to think, to assume re- sponsibility, and to understand the basic principles on which our society is found- ed. The aims of education in a demo- cracy must be the same for all the peo- - n ple. To Recognize Individual' Differences ls Not Undemocratic lt is on these points that we disagree with Dr. Hutchins--Should the aim of education in a democracy be the same for all the people? We think not. lt would necessarily follow that all men are alike in ability and temperament. A democracy naturally recognizes the differences of in- dividuals and should give them an educa- tion suited to theirneeds, abilities, and desires. lt would be foolish to say the classics have no place in education, they do. But should their position be one of such great importance in the average man's education? Hutchins Makes Reading Suggestions In Interview Last Monday, in his interview with a Bear Tracks reporter, Dr. Htuchins sug- gested as some of the great books Homer, the Greek tragedies, the Greek comedies, Roman historians, the Middle Ages with St. Thomas Acquinas, the Renaissance, and up through modern times with Freud and Einstein. Beard's Republic Instead of Plato's Could all students master such material, relate it to complement personal exper- ience? Would it be of use to them in daily living? Dr. Hutchins' liberal education is, in another sense, reactionary. Do we want to look back, or do we want to look ahead? We feel it would be of greater value to the student to study society today through the eyes of contemporary thinkers, and to understand the social forces at play right now. For example, Beard's Repub- lic might be much more pertinent and instructive to today's student than Plato's Republic . Danger of' Establishing an Elite Most- obiectors to the Hutchin's plan of education claim that while he will be doing it unintentionally he will be setting up an elite -due almost entirely to the fact that men are not alike and can- not be taught alike. To insist on one cur- riculum for all is indeed not democratic. No individuality is recognized under such a system. All Should Hear Htuchins Tonight We think Dr. Hutchins criticism on present day education is well taken and soundly put. We do not, however, agree with his remedies. Dr. Hutchins, a bril- liant and stimulating speaker, will clarify his position here tonight. Regardless of what you may think personally, we are sure you will enjoy hearing Dr. Hutchins. This is a topic in which you should all be extremely interested, as it may'affect the future of America's education and, con- sequently, America. About a month ago the long fight be- tween Homer Price Rainey, president of the University of Texas, and the Texas Board of Regents 'came to a conclusion when the Regents in an executive session fired Rainey. There had been other flare-ups in the quarrel. For example, in i942 the Board of Regents, against the advice of Presi- dent Rainey, dropped three economics in- structors for expressing opinions unbe- coming a faculty member . Students, alumni, and faculty members of the University of Texas have been very loud in their protest against the breach of the academic freedom of President Rainey and his faculty members. Not an Isolated Case A similar incident occurred in the spring of l943 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, when Miss Kate Frank, a teacher in the high schools of that city, was fired because she took a definite stand against political coercion of teachers. Miss Frank had for some time been in conflict with the school board because of her investigation of fi- nancial methods of the school system. Undemocratic Action ln a time when our soldiers are sup- posedly fighting for the four freedoms , action such as this is contrary to every- thing we believe. The schools are sup- posed to safeguard democracy by instill- ing the democratic ideals in students, and yet they are not granted the right of free- dom of speech, a basic right which l am sure the members of the school boards who acted in such a dictatorial way would be the first to uphold as one of the prin- ciples of democracy. Education should not be controlled by politics, it should be beyond the domain of any body which is likely to resent any reflection on their conduct, which is not always as incorrupt as it might be. That a teacher should be dropped from the faculty roll because she dared to speak against political coercion is absolutely un- thinkable. How can American education rise to the level which we so earnestly de- sire if it. is to be controlled by petty po- liticians who are interested only in furth- e.ring their own ends? This discussion will be continued in this column in the next edition of Bear Tracks. -E. L.

Palmyra, in l820, is a typical town of that era with its definite class distinc- tions, they homogeneous population, and the narrow-mindedness of the people toward new inventions. Dr. Horace Amlie fights to overcome the superstition, ignorance, and distrust of the people of Palmyra. He wins the love of Araminta Jerold but because hehwill not compromise with his principles, his medi- cal license is taken away. The historical events characterized in this book are authentic, and the book also contains a wealth of fascinating medical lore.

Students oHear Talk On POW'S If civilians would only leave the pri- soners of war alone, we would have very little trouble with them, announced Cap- tain Davis, Stockade Officer of the POW camp at Papago Park. The officers and personnel in charge of the prisoners are assigned by the governmentf' he stated, and are capable of taking care cf the men without civilian aid. These men are not criminals, they are men who were drafted into the armed forces of their own country. Formerly business men, scientists, artists, or col- lege professors, many of the men are from Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, South America, Germany, the United States, and Canada. Among them is a bootlegger from Phoenix, a tail- or from New Orleans, ancl a bookkeeper from Cincinatti. The prisoners average from i6 to 70 years of age. Nearly all of them have or had a family. V In answer to charges that POW's are coddled, Captain Davis had an emphatic No, They are allowed classrooms, good quarters, proper food and hospitals, and recreation in accordance with the rulings of the Geneva Convention. The 300,000 prisoners in the United States do work necessary to the war effort and the com- fort of civilians, for which they receive 80 cents per day in canteen coupons, good only in their own camps. On display for student appreciation was POW handicraft, made by the prisoners in their spare time. and faculty of Oberlin College who had allowed their hair to grow in protest against discrimination had set up a co- operative shop for Negroes and them- selves. The barber is a Nesei. The French, we read, are only too hap- py to be once again received into the arms of world diplomacy as equals, not school boys. England has definitely called France back to the diplomatic fold as dem- onstrated by the Churchill visit to France. Moscow has invited de Gaulle to her in- fluential presence. Too, the French see Soviet Russia as the first power to recom- mend that France be accepted on equal terms with the other allied powers. Where does this leave the U. S.? Pro- viding the equipment and finance of the liberation of France. Military aid will not be enough to' provoke the Frenchman's respect, friendship and trust. The U. S. will have to be less efficient and hard boiled, more subtle and imaginative. The French want to feel that our friendship is not an expedient war measure but a last- ing interest in furthering humanity's hopes.

Page 42 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIQR COLLEGE About The Movies To Have or to Have Not is recom- mended as entertaining cinema by Time and The New Yorker, but The New Republic finds it unworthwhile. Though this picture takes the name of a Hemingway novel all three critics find the cinema story altered so as to scarcely resemble the book from which it is taken. The New Yorker describes To Have or to Have Not as a pretty good pic- ture and holds Humphrey Bogart largely accountable for its success. Even the ad- versely critical New Republic finds Hum- phrey Bogart makes a better Hemingway hero than Gary Cooper ever has . Of the new feminine lead, Lauren Ba- call, Time says she has cinema personal- ity to burn and is the most valuable fix- ture in the show. The New Yorker says she does good subsidiary acting. The New Republic finds her acting has an unsure grounding in the art of Katherine Hep- burn . All three critics find the wistful bar- room piano of Hoagy Carmichael a nice touch of atmosphere. This picture will appear soon at a lo- cal theater. . - .

About The Movies Time and the New Yorker agree that Meet Me in St. Louis is good musical and dramatic entertainment. Time finds the pictpre has a good deal more substance and character than most muscials. Of the music the New Yorker says it is admirable and fits into the narra- tive sequence as unobtrusively as possi- ble. Time declares, Now and then the film gets well beyond the charm of mere tableau for short flights in the empyrean of domestic poetry. For the greater part of this success Time gives credit to Mar-- garet O'Brien, of whom the New Yorker says lshel swipes the picture right out from under her elders' noses. Technicolor has seldombeen more affectionately used than in its registra- tion of the sober mahoganies and tender muslins and benign gaslights of the pe-- riod, says Time. if Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, and Joan Carroll are the other members of the por-- trayed Smith family about which the story is built. Time says, the real love story is between a happy family and a way of living. THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD Editorw. , , Rosemary Editorial Staff Pat Haire, Elizabeth Land, Ruth 4 Gertrude Mack.

The Executive Board and all other interested students have plowed into the subject with a will. But YOU, the majority, for whom we undertook the task, have shown a nasty apathy for the whole business, and it makes us slightly sick'at heart. But al- ways the optimist, we carry on. And when we achieve victory you'll rejoice, because it will be a great victory. But if HAASU dies a silent death no one will even be witness when we pulled the sheet over his tortured visage. CRUSADING ISN'T OUR FORTE, but we never back out. Stubborn to the last inch. So, here goes! First of all, let it be said that certain liberal and human mind- ed members of the faculty are for us, and have taken stand as such. Others are just more cautious. We'll probably get our necks wrung for saying such things, but we uphold and maintain a- free press. So let 'em come. FIRST OFF, ARE THE STUDENTS plac- ed in a position to only benefit the school and school authorities, or is the school, and the persons in charge, maintained for the benefit of the student? Vx'e realize that certain discipline is necessary. We're not foolish enough to argue that, but we object to being regimented. Not that the danger of regimentation is too imminent, but we object to our freedom of relaxa- tion being encroached upon. We want a place to relax besides the parking lot and lawns. A place to read and laugh and dance and play records and sing and drink cokes and relax luxuriously. AS A CERTAIN person, whose opinion we respect, suggested, we have a place on the campus designed for such a pur- pose. Probably many of you have never been in the club room. Admittance is through requisition. The objection seems to be that we would destroy the furniture lwhich the taxpayers paid forl or mar its beauty in some other way. As this same individual suggested, Human rights or property rights? We might well adopt t at as a slogan. Sounds like true and de- cent thinking to us. DON'T FORGET- Human rights or rights? -P. H. State of the Nation by John Dos Passos is a clear eyed account of a na- tion at war. The descriptive episodes which make up the book are not, how- ever, chiefly concerned with the winning of the war, but rather with the winning of battles here on the home front. Mr. Dos Passos traveled across the nation, stopping everywhere, talking to everyone, and recorded, exactly what he heard., He has talked to farmers, business men, factory workers, shipbuilders, government employees .... He has amassed a great cross section of current opinion. Vital topics such as labor-management com- mittees, unions, farm security, and ab- senteeism he discussed with the people of America. Their answers and ideas may shock some readers who have no concep- tion of what is taking place at home to- day. State of The Nation'l is to be recom- mended to those who would wish to com- prehend a little of the social 'forces at play here in America. lt is a wise book, in that it is untouched with personal pre- judice or opinion. It is merely a compila- tion of what America thinks and feels dur- ing this period of change. V Mr. Dos Passos style is simple and lu- cid, yet his words have a way of depicting exactly what he means to say in forceful, descriptive language.

Shuster, president of Hunter College, sent a 600 word statement to the 500 mem- bers of his faculty stating that he would prefer charges against any faculty mem- ber who spoke against the participation of the United States in this war, who linked Catholics and the Papacy with fascism, who called the Negroes and Jews inferior people, or who stated that the Russian system of government was better than our OWN. it 1- -A- Dr. Shuster had a noble objective when he issued this ultimatum: namely, to com- bat intolerance. However, he was attempt- ing to combat-it with one of the principle weapons of intolerance, prohibition, Here is another case of infringment of academ- ic freedom. ln this instance the freedom of speech of teachers was not limited by a hostile school board but by a man who should be one of the leading exponents of academic freedom, the president of a leading women's college. -Ar if 1- This is not to say that a teacher should have absolute freedom of speech. Sedi- tious talk should be prohibited. A person who speaks against his country is not a good patriot, it is hardly setting a good example of tolerance for a classroom in- structor to speak against racial or relig- ious groups. The question arises, how- ever, if the way to fight this is to prohi- bit such talk. It is an entirely different matter to say that all Catholics are at heart advocates of Nazism and Fascism than it is to connect the Papacy with fas- cism. The Papacy is an institution, and if it can be definitely proved that it has fas- cist leanings it certainly does not involve intolerance for a teacher to say so. k 1' 'lr lt seems strange that Dr. Shuster should so object to one of his teacher's saying that the Russian system of govern- ment is superior to ours. 'After all, we are not an enemy of Russia, and the word' communist has ceased to be-one that you use to frighten little children into being good. lt should be the aim of all intelligent Americans to investigate all types of governments and ascertain which one is best. Wouldn't this be better than to 'blindly preserve what we have by refus- ing to admit something is better, if it is? -E. L.

I2 DVISORY COMMITTEE DECIDES ON TEMPORARY, PERMANENT STUDE T UNIONS City Will Buy Land Adjacent to Park The City Commission 'decided last Thursday'to purchase the strip of land adjacent to Encanto Park on Thomas Road between Fifteenth and Seventh Ave- nues. This land will be used to make an addition to Encanto Park when the proper time arrives. Because no agreement could be reach- ed concerning the price of the land in question condemnation proceeding are being started. At present it is believed that an ex- pansion of all the city parks will be made at the same time the addition to Encanto Park is made. At the time when the owners of the strip of land asked the City Commission to give them permission to subdivide this strip of land the Executive Board of the Associated Students of Phoenix Junior College sent a resolution to the City Com- mission requesting them to purchase the land. lEd. Note-An editorial appeared in the De- cember l, 1944, issue of Bear Tracks protesting the proposed project of sub-division, and this editor now wishes to commend the city com- mission for taking this foreward-looking step.i Bea rs Defeat Navy-Men The PJC Bears defeated the Naval Air Facility team 62 to 47 in a basketball game played last Wednesday in the PUHS Gymnasium. High-point man for the eve- ning was Les Metzger who scored 25 points. The Bears will play in the Western College Basketball Tournament to be held at Compton, California, on February 22, 23, and 24. There will be two tournament brackets, one for first round winners, which will be known as the senior bracket, and one for first round losers, which will be known as the junior lconsolationl bracket. , Sixteen teams will be entered in the tournament. ... .0. Mr. Newman Requests Registration Of Bonds Mr. Newman, faculty chairman of the Bond Committee, has announced that all students who have bought bonds off the campus should bring them to him or to Miss Miller for registration provided they have not been credited to some other organization. The college will receive cre- dit for all bonds thus registered. A Pictured above is the alcove at the northeast end of the cafeteria. This I5 the site of the temporary student union, which should be ready for student use by the beginning of the second semester. V The Advisory Committee has made two momentous decisions! In the presence of President Montgomery and Dean Wyman the student-faculty body decided that plans should begin right away toward the construction of a per- manent Student Union building and that in the meantime the northeast section of the cafeteria should be outfitted as a temporary gathering and recreation spot for students. The temporary location may be open for use by the beginning of the second semester, Dean Wyman said. Dean Gib- son has been appointed chairman of a committee charged with selecting furnish- ings for the area. The committee was to have reported its preliminary findings to a special meeting of the Advisory Com- mittee this morning. Other members of the committee are Al Zeitlin, Mr. Coca- nower, Arlene Mathew, Dr. Hannelly, and Pat Haire. Permanent Union Plans Authorized Mr. Montgomery announced that the Board of Education has given enthusiastic approval of the plans for the permanent Union and has authorized him to have an architect prepare tentative blueprints for the building. Mr. Montgomery said that he had taken up with federal authori- ties the question of possible federal aid for the project and that of priorities for building materials. Union Possible Memorial Dr. Wyman suggested that perhaps the Student Union might be built as a mem- orial to the students of the college who have given their lives to the country. In that event, Dr. Wyman said, the alumni of the college and possibly the student body might be called upon to make some contribution. , The new Union in the cafeteria will be open all day and will be a place where students may dance, listen to music, play games, write letters, settle the problems of the universe, sit and dream, or just sit. lEd.lnote: Bear Tracks will publish all in- formation about these projects as it material- izes . ..i Page 46 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS J Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College to ' Member Associated Collegiate Press Prospects For The Year 1945 Another new year has arrived, and with it came the usual celebra- tions, resolutions, and hopes. In many places there was sadness, be- cause another year had passed and the victory which we all desire so earnestly is still a thing of the future. To many the new year means merely an additional cut in ration points, but most people have come to the grim realization that victory isn't something we pick up in our spare time. Most of us had the idea that the Germans were at the end of their rope, but the events of the past year have certainly not proved this. lt now appears evident that defeating the Germans and the Japanese is going to be a long and arduous task. Again we hear the cries that the Germans and the Japanese should be reduced to 'an agricultural existence. lt is not too unrea- sonable to say that the hope of most people is that war can be eliminat- ed as nearly as possible. Certainly attempting to reduce Germany to a second class nation permanently is not the way to do it. We should want not to punish a group of people for their wrong-doings but to make them into the kind of people who can live at peace with the world. lf we crush the Japanese and Germans into oblivion we will be making the preparations for the next phase of this world conflict which many people believe started in l9l4 and not in l939. A group of people who have known power will not remain slaves long. They will rise in rebellion just as the Germans did under their Nazi leaders in l933, just as many of the conquered people of Europe are doing now. To us here at home the prospects for the new year don't seem bad at all. Indeed, the prospects for all of the United Nations seem brighter than they have for the past years. Victory is not yet at hand, but it doesn't seem as unattainable as it has seemed. However, it will be an empty victory if it is not turned to a greater end than mere defeat of our enemies. i945 may riot see the end to hostilities, but if it does we want an intelligent peace and not another time-out while everyone goes home to raise another crop of soldiers and make some new, improved weapons. a- 1 'fi A 1 l .3 i .- - '2 Tn.

Let Me Live see the concert that doesn't run some- thing like most of the ones that l have seen. First the victim hears, for in- stance, a song with a complete set of six octaves rushed through zealously not from one end to the other but back and forth with short pauses here and there for a rest and a good sup- ply of air for the coming onslaught. The victim perhaps endures a com- position created specifically to show that though' the artist was blessed by God with but ten fingers as thou and l, can strike an ungodly number of keys on various parts of the keyboard at the same time. Or the proud ticketholder feasts his eyes, until the first intermission, upon ten or twenty maidens garbed in short flowing frocks which are completely without form. These maids chase each other about silently and never seem to accomplish any movement started. Con- stantly they come to a crucial point with the action at their finger tips, and then they hold the position. Nothing seems sillier to me than a horde ot females dancing around after each oth- er. Well then, after the intermission the victim finds tucked in one little song or composition with a melody familiar to his poor ears. Here is where he finds out just how good the artists is. Then onward, oh ye gates, to a folk song from the Fatherland, a mother cot- yote's hymn to her delinquent son, a Negro spiritual in the style of Revel, and a couple of encores, numbers which made the artist famous and which the victim came to hear him sing or play in the first place, he would even have settled for something with a melody. The encores are performed amid the scraping and dragging silhouettes of those who must be up in the early morn to get their worms. the time then when my sense of ap- preciation will be so increased that l will know and understand all the art tucked in or until I can buy a violin and play and sing and dance my own small cultural repertoire for myself.

About The Movies Well, the prospects for None But The Lonely Heart entertaining most of you look better than fair. Reason number one is Cary Grant's performance aided more than a little by Ethel Barrymore's and Barry Fitzgerald's. Reason number two is Clifford Odets' writing-directing. ' The New Yorker compliments Mr. Grant by saying he, plays Ernie simply and well. But the New Republic counters, reporting that he is a cockney character played by Cary Grant like Cary Grant. However, both these magazines and Time commend the supporting cast for their performances. Time says U. S. major productions have rarely dared tackle so wholehearted- ly so harshly human a subject. Time and the New Yorker find the pic- ture's atmosphere moving and in keeping with the cockney atmosphere, but here again the New Republic says there was an essential lack of evil, hardness, hunger, lonliness, and frustration that seems to be what the film was interested in.

For this reason if one is unfamiliar with the events following the World War and leading to this one the first of the book may be rather difficult but worth-while reading. ' Wells then discusses at some length his personal meetings and interviews, as the President's envoy, with the rulers of Europe. His slants on their personalities are unaffected by preiudice. His vision concerning their respective powers is im- portant. However, when Wells embarks upon a plan for a peaceful world order, he tends to forget historical experience and embark upon a path which is prompted primarily by his membership in a powerful nation, the United States. What Wells has to offer in the way of information is more than worth-while in contributing to and clarifying thinking relative to internationl policy.

This past vacation from Schapiro and l-layakawa was chuck full of excite- ment, fun, and sweet repast. Nosing about the campus one hears all sorts of weird tales of hours spent and nights. Rather spent nights, too. First event to blow the lid off of stud- ent repression was the Christmas formal. Even the faculty entered in the fun and let down their hair. lWe speak figurative- ly.l Funniest moment of the evening was Colleen Tummins' and partner's fall in the ditch. They stepped in a hole. Many refused to stay in the valley of the sun and the wind and the rain for the holidays. Such people as Hunter, Hub- bard, Hill, and Annon lto mention a fewl flew away to spend a merry time at the coast, land of the sun and the wind and the rain and the fog and the dew. They demanded their money's worth. Many industrious fellows worked like beavers throughout the short but sweet relief period. Such an energetic hunk of human might is Bull Henderson, for in- stance. Our perpetual camper, Lipow, retired into his SUPERstitions, and one gay, gay bunch of college males took to the open road for a short spree at the canyon. lma- gine, if you can, Metzger and Gilmore and Faulkner and friends making snow men.

U PJC Students Appear On R-adio Discussions During the past few weeks several Jun- ior College students have participated in a weekly radio series entitled Arizona Speaks. The program is broadcast from Station KOY each Wednesday from 9:30 to lO:OO p. m. The topic for discussion on December 20 was Should I8-year-olds be allowed to vote? Genay Schoeny and Herman Lipow opposed the proposition. Two stud- ents from Tolleson upheld the affirmative. Mr. Busey was chairman. Pat Haire and Herman Lipow partici- pated in last Wednesday's discussion, Should There be Peacetime Conscrip- tion? Also participating were Mrs. Kay Sterns, a soldier's wife, Mr. William Ma- thews, editor of the Tucson Star, and Bishop Mitchell. Mr. Walter Maxwell, executive secretary of the Arizona Edu- cation Association, was chairman. ,HHH VOL. 17 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, JANUARY 19, 194 5 NO. 13 ART STUDENTS TO EXHIBIT WORK Art work of Junior College students will be featured in an exhibit held in room Science 205 January 22 through the 27 under the direction of Mrs. Schlag, art instructor.

BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press NORMALITY OR VICTORY? The American people are trying to kid themselves into believing they can lead normal lives here at home while the rest of the world feels the impact of war. Whether this attitude is caused primarily by war fatigue or indifference to national affairs, the implications re- main the same, That is, we are fighting a soft war . . . a soft war for those of us on the mainland. The problem is one of deciding whether to continue on such a course, or to realize the immediate necessity of changing tactics to bring about a harder, but more quickly won victory. If we desire to carry on with a soft program, we should continue as we are, striving for normality at all costs. Using gas for fishing and hunting trips, taking vacations by train, living or attempting to live as we always have. We would continue to refuse to face the cost of victory. lt is not that Americans do not have the fortitude to fight a hard war. They lack the will to. What if we are to shorten the war, and by shortening it, make it harder for us? We would then assume that military necessity be prim- ary. We would willingly accept any sacrifices we were asked to make, regardless of personal feeling, for expediency's sake. We would sup- port the OPA, grant it more funds to function more efficiently. We would demand less leniency toward gas-rationing offenders, we would demand more drastic rationing of civilian goods. Pleading would stop and forceful rationing of civilian travel would occur. We would pay higher taxes and buy more bonds funder compulsion if necessaryl. lf also necessary there would follow the conscription of management as well as labor. We would throw aside the sham of normality and realize completely and unreservedly what fighting a war entails. We would stop -kidding ourselves that life is essentially the same as it was in those halcyon days when only a few people were at war. About The Movies Fellas, we see in the offing a treat for fans of Grade A psychological horror pictures The film takes the somewhat eirie title of Dark Waters' Our three sources of criticism find the movie has all the potentialities of a first class thriller, and though notable for the attempts it makes to come through, fails because its story, its.characters, and its scarey ideas seldom gets beyond the blueprint stage. The cast'looks good. Principal mem' bers are Merle Oberon, Franchot Tone, Thomas Mitchell. The New Yorker says until the gun- play sets in you may find the film good for an occasional medium cold shiver. The story has broad potentialities in the way of atmosphere as it takes place in a plantation located in Louisiana bayou territory which helps give Dark Waters a pretty substantial note of brooding ter- ror.

Stewart BEAR TRACKS-PHOENlX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 53 ON ti-is SPOT We have come across an enlightening bit concerning one Prince Akweke Orizu. He is a remarkable character whose influ- ence will undoubtedly be felt by us and posterity too. He has been described as probably the most literate prin:e alive. He hails from Nigeria, Africa, and is a tall, deep-voiced, black-skinned, highly articulate young man. He came to Ameri- ca five years ago to study at Ohio State and Columbia Universities and states that most African intellectuals rate American Universities below those of Europe. This may be quite a jolt to the many well learned of the U. S. who think Africans cannabalistic hottentots. This young man has made himself notable by writing a book which remark- ably enough is ,titled Without Bitter- ness, a study of African economics and social and political issues of the past and present. His purpose in writing is to make the world aware of Africa as a place with intelligent, eager human beings. It occurs to us that we may have some- thing to learn from the savages. .iCT Among the Allies there has recently been only one nation so sure of itself as to be outspoken regarding international relations. Russia has dared recognize the Polish Committee of National Libera- tion which has announced itself as the Provisional Government of Poland. ...C-. And, incidentally, the President's an- nual message on the state of the nation to Congress certainly must have an ef- fect upon the State Departments lack of positive action in regard to both Poland and Greece. The,President said, We have obliga- tions, not necessarily legal, to the exiled Governments, to the underground leaders and to our major Allies, who came much nearer to the shadows than we did .... We and our Allies have a duty, which we cannot ignore, to use our influence to the end that no temporary or provisional authorities in the liberated countries block the eventual exercise of the lwilll .... This may be a jolt to the Provisional Government in Athens and its British ad- vocates. However, in regard to Poland a skeptical policy on behalf of the U. S. to the new government may be indicated. But at least the U. S. at long last has dared assert its policy and has ceased hid- ing behind 'the skirts of emergency war measures. -R. A.

' ,i Shaw , Freedom Road ' by Howard Fast is a novel which relates the details of an ex- periment in democracy in the South dur- ing the period of Reconstruction. The group making the experiment is com- posed of freed Negro slaves and poor whites, but tragedy befalls them when the Union soldiers are withdrawn and the Ku Klux Klan is allowed to have free play. It is hard to read this book without be- coming very angry at the injustice shown this group of whites and Negroes. Gideon Jackson, the leader of the experimental group, rose from the position of an illi- terate field hand to that of an educated statesman. Under his guidance his little group of followers made a success of their community at Carwell, but their homes and property were destroyed and their lives lost during a Klan raid, because with their new way of life they had of- fered economic competition to the old planters of the South. Freedom Road is unusual in that it offers the reader a picture of thefrecon- struction of the South viewed not from the planter's side, but from the side of the Negro. lt is a very enlightening book which has its basis in history, and it is one of the most eloquent pleas for toler- ance which l have ever read.

A trained consumer will not fall for shady schemes when he understands taxes, old age bene- fits, real estate titles, and insurance poli- cies, and will be an asset to honest bus- iness. While advocating the junior college as a perfect field for a general course in consumer education, Mr. Cocanower points to the large number of students who might never go beyond highschool and who would need the training. He suggests that highschools offer the subject in a basic form. Perhaps, then, colleges will give it as a major for those who want to specialize in this field. Although consumer education cannot be required, Mr. Cocanower says that it can be developed into such an interesting and useful course that students would want it as an elective. The students would finish a course with a wholesome, enthusiastic outlook, eager and prepared to take part in the constructive phases of family and com- munity Iife, says Mr. Cocanower. la...-,...i -Y. ...ad-g....,,., , V- g -Pi , ,,,a.,.,t ix , i This enlargement of Anetha Walkeifs painting shows in more detail the con- trast of tones and the form of her still-life. .1-.-.1.O....l.- New Course Announced Mr. Stone announces the opening of Music V, Ear Training and Sight Singing Class, to be held next sernester.

Ji VOL. l7 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FEBRUARY 9, 1945 NO. I4 Partition ls Completed Furniture Ordered For Union Furniture for the temporary student lounge has been selected and ordered by a committee ap- pointed by the Advisory Board. This lounge, which will be used until after the war when a build- ing can be erected for this purpose, is to be partitioned off in the northeast sec- tion of the cafeteria. Ranelling to match that which encloses the faculty lunch room has been constructed. The committee for selecting the furni- ture chose four davenports and four oc- casional chairs. A piano has already been obtained, and appropriate end tables, and magazine racks will be selected after the other furniture is arranged in the unit which is approximately thirty feet square. Material for drapes is available, and Miss Stevens has volunteered to act as adviser for the making of these drapes if girls will volunteer to make them, said Dean Gibson. When this lounge is completed danc- ing will be permitted, but until then stud- ents are requested to refrain from dancing in the cafeteria, according to Dean Gib- son. The committee selecting the furniture was composed of Pat Haire, Arlene Math- ew, Rosemary Annon, Vic Pulis, Herman Lipow, AI Zeitlin, Les Metzger, and Dean Gibson.

Page 56 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE 'B E A R T R A C K S Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College o' .oo ,. 0 '-0 O -'ua gg on Inf ,, Member Associate Collegiate Press i on i'BEAR I j PADDLING AND MEDIEVAL MIND f'NEW YORK, N. Y.-lACPl-All forms of hazing involving mental or physical torture, including paddling, will be banned offi- cially and absolutely by all colleges and universities throughout the country, and offenders, both individuals and organizations, disciplined, if the request of the National lnterfraternity conference is followed. As we read this item we thought that perhaps, after all, there is yet hope for civilization. If hazing ends can peace be far behind? However, it should be said that Junior College cast off some of the chains of this medieval practice of hazing when it eliminated freshman hazing approximately three years ago. Unfortunately for our thesis this was the result of faculty action. Why couldn't the stud- ents have been civilized! The aforementioned news article further stated that the National Interfraternity Conference has tried by educational means to elim- inate questionable hazing practices. But they too found it necessary to resort to an arbitrary edict from their comparatively small group. It seems that appeal to the intellect in regard to hazing is of no avail . . . It seems that the emotionalism of the tradition holds sway even over radical youth. Even more significant is the fact that the practice continues comparatively unquestioned and even advocated. Let us consider the advantages of hazing. It seems to be the consensus that a fraternity without hazing would be no frat, at all- that the activity of paddling, wearing ridiculous clothing, and general- ly being made foolish and uncomfortable is demonstrative of the spirit of good sportsmanship and good fellowship and a test of ones ability to take it. Of any other advantages we are unaware. ' In regard to good sportsmanship, we doubt that hazing is a good test. Rather it seems unintelligenf that one should not protest sub- mission to the ritual of initiation. Furthermore, it is a blatant pointer to the students' advocacy of cliques, a socially deplorable attitude. Too, we contend that the initiates grow weary of their obligations, but reconcile themselves to their'ignominy by thinking that the passing on of their tasks is adequate revenge and great fun. This marks a continuance of dated and ill-considered practice. Tradition stands as its only cause, and this cannot be regarded by those who think objectively as a justification. Hazing is at its best, silly, and at its worst, cruel. I'T SEEMS TO ME It is a tradition of the Ohio University that students form an organized cheering section at all of their own varsity games. This might set one to wondering why something similar is not done at JC games. It is true that of late the atten- dance at games has been somewhat im- proved, but what' about organized cheer- ing? We have a student body sufficiently large and with sufficient pep to make something on this order really successful. -are -ie In keeping with the realization of world affairs which most people are now begin- ning to have is the addition of geography to the curricula of many colleges since the beginning. of the war. JC is in keep- ing with this trend. Professor Daniel Jones ,head of London University college's phonetics department suggests an international alphabet from which any language could be written. The alphabet would be based on the Rom- an alphabet. This seems like a very sensi- ble suggestion. Probably one of the great- est difficulties in learning many foreign languages is the differences in alphabets. With the coming air age, nations will be closer together and the age of isolation- ism will be absolutely outdated. With in- ternationalism rising to the fore it will become more and more necessary to have a working knowledge of many languages. This will be much simpler if Professor Jones' suggestion is followed and some standardization of symbols is achieved. -E. L. ANOTHER VlCTlM.OF THE acceleration program is now on campus, and we might add, in full force. It is the dreaded, and yet dearly beloved, spring fever. The en- compassing spirit of lethargy makes it tougher on those who vowed: This se- mester I'm gonna buckle down and work . . . Here it is, barely February and the Ides of March are already doing their drastic work. SAD VICTIMS OF THIS PLEASANT plague number many of our ranks. At al- most any time of day one can see Wanda Quigley, Liz Land, Bill Gray, lwith better halfl Byron Burgess, Harlin Cook, Bar- bara Rice, and like afflictees lounging on the grass. Those preferring the comfort and privacy of vehicles include Aird Stew- art, Dorothy Beach, Dorothy Fannin, Bar- bara Bell, Mary Lou Chambers, Sy Grass- man, Hank Wilkinson, Dario Travaini, and so on. The parking lot is full of 'em . . . a few wayward souls actually march over to the ramada for a smoke. No furth- er investigations have taken place. They are indubitably freshmen. THEN THERE ARE HARDIER souls who take to the field and the court. Such a merry buzz of activity surrounds the gym that it could easily be called' the most trafficked spot on the campus. fExcept- ing, of course, the cafeteria.l Tennis, baseball, football, badmiton, basketball, even a military gymnastics class, cadenced by Sgt. B. Lipow. THE BASEBALL GAMES are perhaps the Iiveliest, with violent discussions on court etiquette and he is too he is'not he is so he is not. Peek dashes about taking his usual spills--just like' the India rubber man. ' SPEAKING OF THE MUSCLE games, our basketball team goes swishing merrily on. Daffy Douthit is a valuable addition, hav- ing a touch surer than the ever lasting semester exams. Their trip to the coast will take them into the class of Junior College competition, and they will journey over undefeated . . . at least, undefeated up to the date of writing this, and we got faith. HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH piano pound- ing lately? What has occurred? There are a lot of savage souls around here that should be soothed. Agreed? GROUND HOG DAY passed by this year without much notice.

How many times have you seen the dean? On Staurday nights do you come clean? Do you put empty bottles in the case when you're through? And whom do we send your grade card to? I'm catching on quick, l've been sent back before. Now there is the line, but where is the door? Maybe this is the one l've been looking for. I'm almost there, then a voice so refined Screams, C'mon back here youse, to the end of the line. In three hours my course underwent therapeutics, I had left my dramatics to learn pharma- ceutics. The checker was moody, I gazed with alarm f At the sixteen gauge shot gun in reach of his arm. This ain't in pencil and that ain't in pen, Get another card and start over again. 'By fajr means and foul I got to the office An hour in there and my stomach served notice. As yet for me there had been no shout, Of course they called while I was out. When I got to the window I was still on my feet, Then the man inside decided to eat. I waited with patience and returned at two, To the end of the line, boy, we've gone past you. Again at the window, the clock said five My weakening pulse says I'm still alive As I looked through the window, my eyes glazed and froze, On the neat little sign that spelled out the word CLOSED. As I slumped to the floor I descerned a faint holler, You can pay your fees Tuesday for an extra dollar. ' tm I N D OVER MATTER A AA GA 0 FIIOSII 1'.,, About The Movies There's another mystery thriller, The Suspect, in the offing which boasts an excellent cast for its type. The' leading players: Ella Raines and Charles Laugh- ton. Time says it sets out to be a terrific period melodrama and succeeds in its aim., presenting Laughton in one of his best roles since l932. The Nation agrees that the film is well acted but finds that told as a period melodrama, it will probably trouble no- body. The New Yorker nods agreement to this general opinion, saying that The Suspect is probably useful as a seda- tive but hardly to be recommended to serious students, and also that the dim atmosphere is nothing to rave about. But here, Time again counters say- ing that the period element and the at- mosphere may provide so many kicks in thevemotional midriff. We'll give it a vote. It will probably be showing locally soon.

Its author, John Morris, writes about Japan from a new angle. Instead of analyzing the war in terms of socio-econ- omic forces iwhich Morris admits he knows nothing aboutl one finds a person- alized account of the Japan of the man in the street, the student in college, the businessman in his shop. These people, the common people, even though they have been pushed into the background by the military, the imperialist, and the fanatic nationalist, will be the ones who will carry on once the war is over. It will be they that will go on living, studying, working after the army, the navy, and the imperialist have been swept away. It is the common people who will be left. lt will be the common people of Jap-- an who will make a new Japan as it will be the common people of the world who will make a new world when it is made. Traveler From.Tokyo provides a wealth of material on the subject of Japanese culture and the outlook of the average Japanese citizen.

Do most people go to the opera because they like music or be- cause they want to be seen there? DISCUSSION PROMPTED BY PRECEDING QUESTIONS These were some of the questions discussed at a meeting of the Bear Tracks' editorial board last Thursday afternoon. The discussion was prompted by the boogie-woogie which issues almost constantly from the Blue and Gold room. We came to the conclusion that while boogie-woogie, jazz, swing, are all forms of contemporary music, confining one's enjoyment of music to boogie-woogie and the like would be analogous to reading nothing but True Confessions. There are certain types of music, known as popular , which de- serve recognition for their merit, and it is argued by many of the ad- dicts of jive that the high-brow musicians don't know and don't try to know their kind of music. However, we think it can be Said that there are many more high-brow musicians who understand jazz, swing, and other forms of popular music than there are jive addicts who understand what is generally known as classical music. ALL GOOD MUSIC IS NOT DEEP An appallingly large majority of the younger generation don't know anything about t'he latter and make no attempt to learn anything about it. They argue that it is too deep or something of the sort. Admitting that there is some music which is rather deep, there is a wealth of good music which anyone could enjoy if he would only overcome the prejudices which he has concerning anything deeper than the latest swing tune. Many people feel that in operas and in symphonies the best parts are obscured by passages without any real beauty. It has been sug- gested, especially with regard to opera, that certain parts could be cut out, thus leaving the more melodious and more pleasing parts. ln certain operas it would be absolutely impossible to do this without destroying the illusion which the composer has worked so hard to achieve, but this might be a possibility with some of thgse operas in which the music does not set the whole dramatic atmosphere. WHY DO PEOPLE ATTEND THE OPERA? ' It has been too long the case that good music was endured be- cause it gave one culture and not because one could get real enjoy- ment from it. We speak in noble phrases of our love of democracy and our dislike of social classes, and yet all to many people attend operatic performances and concerts because they think that it tends to associate them with the upper classes. This does perhaps have merit in that it keeps the performers in jobs, but what about the social attitude involved? TASTE SHOULD BE ELEVATED Even in this country, where education is available to everyone, those who attend college are a very small majority. Most of these who do attend college would not think of confining their reading to pulp and slick magazines, but most of these same people go along blissfully unaware that there is any form of music in existence except that which pours forth from the juke boxes. Why can't taste intmusic as well as taste in literature be elevated a little bit? lThe editors will welcome all literate replies to the view here expressed and will be happy to publish atleast a representative number of them.l 5 to to to to to LET ME LIVE see what kind of middle-agers we of the classes of '47 and '48 will make. It is odd how one has eyes only for the present. I can look at my friends, and I am simply not able to imagine what kind of children they were or what they will look like in middle and old age. Age is a subtle thing. Q if af see another cow with a face as pretty as one I saw Sunday. How wonderful and uncomplicated is the life of a cow. With absolutely no effort on her part she fulfills her economic duties and en- joys life with a clear conscience. -k 'lr Q understand the philosophical signifi- cance of wasting time. It is wonderful how beautifully one can rationalize this happy and universal pastime. One can easily say that one has worn one's brains out in class, that one is often confused with studying, and that one must have relaxation, mustn't one? So one does. 1' if it see again and again the faces of stud- ents the day after grades come out. You know, I have discovered from much observation that there are types. First there is the rare one-letter man -the A , B , or C man. The A man has no economic purpose except to delight himself and the ped- agoguery and to frustrate the lower classes. Then there are the two-letter men. The AB , BC , CD , and DF , men. These are the conserva- tives. The three-letter men, ABC , BCD , and CDF men are the back- bone of education. They provide stab- ility and entertainment in the classes. The unstable four- and five-letter men are as rare as but more interesting than the one letter species. 'k 'k 'k discover the mental pleasure derived from calling one's friends by their ini- tials. This is usually done from a con- siderable distance, and I suppose that it gives the also considerable number of people who can hear it the feeling that here indeed is real friendship. -k 'k 'lr know if I am right when I say the rea- son that the truth never hurt anyone is that they didn't believe it. -G.

Eighteen cadet nurs- es, new to the Cadet Nurse Corps and new to our campus, were going through their initiation week which ended Mon- day. Most of the girls who started their training cn January 23, are from Arizona, but Los Angeles, Stella, Mo., Denver, Memphis, Tenn., and Chicago are also represented.

Contrast- ing with the gray, on each shoulder is a red shoulder strap on which the girls will wear pins to indicate the length of their service. TH E DEAN'S OFFICE This week's bouquet goes to Coach Hoy and the basketball team which i has come through many games without a single defeat. Coach Hoy has, year alter year, put out consistently fine basketball' teams. Tonight the boys are playing in our own gym. Your student activity ticket will admit you. Let's have a fine turnout for the game and give them a good sendoff for their participation in the convention at Compton Junior College next week. There will be no classes on Febru- ary 22 in commemoration of Washing- ton's Birthday. One of the best ways of keeping faith with the Board of Education and with the memory of George Washington is to attend all classes on the days preceding and fol- lowing the Washington birthday ob- servation. Do you lknow that this year is the silver anniversary of Phoenix Junior College and that within the first ten years it became one of the foremost iunior colleges in the nation with full accreditation by the North Central As- sociation of 'Colleges and Secondary Schools?

For the first forty years of his life Citizen Toussaint was a Negro slave on a plantation on the island of San Do- mingo, or Haiti as it is now called. Then, inspired by the French Revolution, Tous- saint, in l79l, led a rebellionwhich had as its ultimate aim the liberation of the Negroes. The Negroes and mulattoes on San Domingo were in an overwhelming majority and had been inhumanely treat- ed by the French planters, so it is no won- der they acclaimed Toussaint their libera- tor and rose to support him with fierce loyalty. . Toussaint, in spite of the abuses he and his race had suffered, was complete- ly devoted to Christian principles. Though thousands of Negroes had been tortured and slaughtered by the whites, he never resorted to the same tactics. His was an example of humanitarianism and fairness that many white leaders would have done well to copy. One fault of the Caucasian race is that it underestimates the capabil- ities of the Negroid. Citizen Toussaint is testimony of the amount of good that be accomplsihed by a middle-aged, can half-educated slave. , Citizen Toussaint is not as forcibly written as it could be, and it is encumber- ed by a lot of data. However, from the standpoint of understanding the Negro as compared to the white, it is well worth reading. 'Korngold, Ralph, Citizen Toussaint, Little, Brown, and Company, 1944.

This week the thriller takes the dire nomen, Ministry of Fear. Its leading players are the dashing Ray Milland and Marjorie Reynolds who share the spotlight with the sauve cutthroat, Dan Duryea. The New Yorker doesn't mind giving the book from which it was adopted a boost as a 'isuperior mystery novel, but its critic says that the movie retains very little of its sinister atmosphere and deli- cate characterization. Time chimes in with hurrahs for the book, but agrees that in the film these murkey glimmerings are gone .... But it is a tensely directed and finely photo- graphed show. Of Sir Milland Time says The mov- ies hero is a competent, personable ac- tor. Judge for yourselves. It is playing at the Orpheum now. Home Economist To Visit Campus Miss Gladys Wyckoff, the national field secretary for the Home Economics Clubs affiliated with the American Home Econ- omics Association, will be a visitor on the JC campus sometime during March. She is being brought here by Eta Chi Epsilon, JC home economics club.

However, such are the qualities of The Flame of Faithfulness which ,may be found in the current monthly publication of Blue Story. The story concerns itself with the emo- tional trials of faithful and conscientious Mary, who as a girl of fifteen unwittingly became married to worthless and degen- erate Jim, who has no conception of mo- rality or constructiveness. Mary, despite her five years of unhappiness with Jim and her love for Bill, a young and promis- ing lawyer, remains with Jim as she feels an obligation to her home in her child's regard. But at last Mary is freed by the death of Jim who is run over by a truck while returning home in a state of drunkenness. The poignant portrayal of Mary makes her' stand out as one of the finest heroines of the short story. The story itself stands among the best for its originality of plot and ending.

Left to right, Betty Sawyer, Arlene Mathew, Mary Lou Johnson, Esther Boedecker, Kathrine Kraft, Phyllis Barabe, Erin Mahoney, Nancy Carter, Marilyn Lee. l Arrival and Departure centers around a young ex-communist who is faced with the ethical problem of deciding whether to join the English forces in the fight against the fascists or whether to go to find happiness in the United States. ln this novel of life in a neutral city crowded with refugees, Arthur Koestler has done an excellent job of analyzing the motivation for one man's actions. Mr. Koestler, through Dr. Sonia Bolgar, a psychiatrist, shows that the seemingly courageous acts of Peter Slavek were not the result of heroism on his part. He did the things he did not because he laclged fear but because he had a sense of obli- gation brought about by an 'event in his early childhood. ln Arrival and Departure Mr. Koest- ler displays his gift for drawing superb characterizations and presenting realizism with dramatic force. It is a novel which is well worth reading, it is completely ab- sorbing. The reader is given the oppor- tunity to understand why men decide the right thing to do and how they will stay with these decisions even after they have lost faith in the cause for which they are fighting.

Soldier's Serenade Featured In Assembly Pvt. David'May, former professional musician and now a radio mechanic at Luke Field, presented in last 'Tuesday's assembly an original song entitled A Soldier's Serenade sung first by Genay Schoeny and then the student body. He then played request selections, among which were Stardust, Tommy Dorsey's Boogie Woogie, Dizzy Fingers, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. IT SEEMS TO ME Marilyn Kaemmerle, editor-in-chief of the Flat Hat, 'weekly publication of the College of William and Mary, was sus- pended last from her duties by the presi- dent. of the college. Her suspension was prompted by an editorial which she wrote, stating that some day the Negro would be the equal of the white man. At the same time the Board of Visitors demanded corrective and disciplinary ac- tion and faculty control of the publica- tion. As a protest against this action the students passed a resolution suspending publication. The majority of the students did not agree with Miss Kaemmerle, but they felt that she should have absolute freedom to express her ideas, The thesis of her editorial maintained that if we are to achieve racial equality the Negro must be educated so that he is on an equal basis with the white and the white must be educated so that he will be able to recognize the Negro as an equal. It is easy to shout about freedom of the press when there is no disagreement about what is to be printed. Only when there is disagreement can this liberty be tested. ln this case it was proved that the William and Mary press was not free, for when the editor dared express ideas conflicting with those of the faculty and Board of Visitors she was relieved of her duties. We think fascism deplorable, but this act was as fascistic as any which takes place in either Germany or Italy. By de- manding censorship when Miss Kaemmer- le said that some day the Negro would be the equal of the white, the Board of Visitors was furthering the conception of racism, one of the principle tenets of fascism. lt is easy to understand that the ideas voiced by Miss Kaemmerle would meet opposition in a section governed by pre- judice against the Negro, but certainly an honest effort should be made by the colleges of that section to combat this prejudice. ln view of Virginia tradition on this subiect it is a hopeful sign that the stud- ent body of a Virginia college should take the stand which it did on such an issue.

The luncheon clubs of Phoenix have been invited to have lunch in the cafe- teria, where a short program will be given for their entertainment. A tour of the campus will follow the luncheon, and conclude the one-hour visit of the club members. Student members of the Thir- teen Club, the Honor Board, and the Ex- ecutive Board will usher these guests about the campus. The luncheon clubs that have been invited are the Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, the Exchange Club, the Casey Club, the Hyram Club, and the Optimist Club. Thursday night a play and variety show, directed by Mr. Smelser, will be held in the auditorium. Friday will combine Open House, Home-coming, and the anniversary cele- bration.

BON D CAMPAIGN IS INAUGU RATED The 957th Day, a short military film, started off the second bond cam- paign on the Junior College campus. This assembly also included a short talk de- livered by Staff Sergeant Frederick A. Christmas of Luke Field, a highly-deco- rated veteran of the South Pacific Theater of War. Mr. Newnam, chairman of the Phoenix Junior College Stamps and Bond Sales Committee, announced all students who have bought war bonds since the begin- ning of the current semester are urged to report their purchases. They should bring their bonds to either Miss Miller or to me so that we may register them, as JC is given credit for all bonds bought by the students regardless of where thc purchase is made. During last month about S650 worth of bonds were reported, and in the three days following the bond rally assembly on February 27th, approximately S25 worth of war savings stamps were bought by students in the cafeteria. Stamps may be purchased in the cafe- teria on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday of each week. Foreign Language Club Elects Semester Officers Representatives of-the foreign language classes met last Tuesday to determine officers for this semester. Elected to serve were Vivian English, presidentj Bar- barba Best, secretary, and Mary Anne Mc- Kesson, publicity chairman. Members of the newly elected board are planning a program for March l9. Student Union Stands Nameless The PJC Student Union will be two weeks old this coming Tues- day, and it's still without a name. Students have a -place to dance and gab now but they can only refer to it as that corner in the cafete- ria. All suggestions for names must be in Bear Tracks' office by next Friday for the contest ends then, A large group of students and faculty members were present two weeks ago when Mr. Montgomery began the dedica- tion ceremony. l would like to congratu- late the student and faculty committees on the successful completion of this Student Union. lt is a fine example of co- operative work between students and fa- culty. With these opening words, he pre- senting the student lounge to the students of the college. Pat Haire, as president of the student body, replied, Thank you, Mr. Montgomery . . . l accept on behalf of all the students assembled here. Vic Pulis' cartoons were then explained by Bill Berry, student manager of the lounge. These cartoons illustrate the main students are expected to don'ts that observe. They depict the average college boy about to drop a tray, with smoke belching from his ears, and as a musicai virtuoso playing three or four musical instruments together. The new lounge has plenty of windows. a smooth dance floor, and modern furni- ture. Students' attendance will determine the hours it will remain open. P296 68 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE ' BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press WHAT SHALL WE D0 WITH HAASU? HAASU is a reality. We have the couches, the chairs, the juke- box blare, and a piano. Now that we have them, how shall we use them, so as not to exploit them. lt's not unusual that the first few days of the Student Union were crowded ones, that some students cut classes. In fact, in one instance, a student missed a full day of scho-ol on gay- ety's behalf . . . but we presume that was but a temporary reaction. Even so, there are several other angles for consideration. lt seems that some of our student body were concerned with what we should do in the Student Union. Even going so far as to consider bringing games that everyone might have something to do. Got lots more out of college out of class than in class. That's what gives you background. This we'd name a typically anti-intellec- tual attitude and incidentally without much merit. You've all heard it. It is doubtful that four years in the student union would bring anyone as close to the understanding or solution of any of the world's ills or pleasures as would some conscientious and well-directed study. We don't think it would be going too far to say that everyone has enough or more than enough to do in line with his academic work and that the Student Union was created with the idea of providing com- fortable headquarters for relaxation, which leads to another issue. lt seems to be the concensus in some quarters that when a person enters the Union it is in the hope of being entertained or dancing. This is not always the case. Dancing, talking and laughing are certainly apropos, but these activities needn't exclude from the use of the room those who wish to sit silently by and relax. We imply that there still exists the problem of cliques. This is probably not intentionally encouraged, but it will not be relieved until the cliques become inclusive instead of exclusive. They must make the-first move. Maybe we've put the cart before the horse. ln most cases stud- ents have voluntarily observed and followed the regulations set down. But consider that it was resolved by the leaders of the HAASU move- ment that tradition should determine conduct in the Student Union. We're anxious to see that tradition gets off on the right foot. lf' 'f'-'gi .

The young men returning from the war, skilled in the regimentated occupation of war, must reaccustom themselves to a peacetime environment, they must find new dreams to replace the ones they lost while engrossed in the business of killing. lnterwoven in the story is a plea for ra- cial tolerance, Neither in training nor in combat had a man's race been a sub- ject for comment, whether Slav, Ha- waiian, Indian or Filipino, his status had been determined by hisvpersonal quali- ties.

About The Movies The movies have tried it again. They've adapted A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to the cinema. We can't guarantee you'll like it but the indications are that it should be seen. Time finds 'A Tree Grcws in Brook- lyn' is more true-to-life than most moviesg much more likable as well. The Na- tion's critic concludes his comments say- ing For all I regret and dislike about it ithe picturel I don't think it's to be dismissed. Both Time and the Nation are very favorably impressed with the comeback of ex-star James Dunn as the father in the story. Dorothy McGuire is commend- ed for her performance. Time finds her one of the most accomplished U. S. actresses. ' The Nation comments that 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' contains single mo- ments or shots so extraordinarily good that they make one ithe critic? wonder why the rest fall short. But Time and the Nation find the movies fall short-in reproducing a realistic Brookly-n. But when all is said and done, it looks as though A Tree. Grows in Brooklyn might be worthwhile film fare.

J an-ies I Stewart IT SEEMS TO ME I saw Dr. Hannelly last Friday after he had returned from an educational meet- ing in Chicago. He tolcl me of some im- portant work being done by the Commis- sion for the Defense of Democracy Through Education. This commission is a part of the National Education Associa- tion. About two years ago Kate Frank, a teacher in Muskogee, Oklahoma, was dis- charged for backing the losing school board member. The commission brought pressure to bear on the board for Miss Frank to be reinstated with no success. A special committee was then appoint- ed to solicit funds to pay her salary. Teachers from all states contributed, in- cluding teachers from PJC. This enabled her to live in the community. At the end of a year and a half she was reinstated on the same job. io.-. A case similar to Miss Frank's occurred in New Mexico. A county political boss demanded that Jose Otero, a new teacher, give him S75 and 296 of his salary. When Otero refused he was discharged. He sued the school system, and he lost the case in the lower courts. The NEA defense commission appealed the case tc the Supreme Court and won a favorable decision. Jose Otero was reinstated and given back pay. ,O- Modern education should produce stu- dents who are able to think and judge for themselves. When a teacher is ruled by the fear that any ideas contrary tc those of the ruling politicians will mean his job this seems an impossibility. A teacher who is afraid to think anything but the approved thought can hardly make thinking individuals out of his stu- dents. While there are many cxceptions, teachers in many parts of the country are underpaid. Needless to, say we want to attract the most desirable people possible to this profession. If they are not to be well paid they must be, offered at least some scrt of security. I-low is this pos- sible when some educational systems are controlled by pcliticians whose only in- terest is economic? The work done 'by the defense com- mission in the two cases only a drop in the bucket. tester there are many more who bear boss rule in silence. Until this rule is broken there can be ,no real democratic educa- tion. This commission is to be commend- ed for its fine work. Let us hope it can be continued with increasingly successful results. 4-E.

I8 Speaker Lashes At Racial Prejudice We wanted to see if Christian- ity and the Constitution were worthwhile, so we attacked the problem on the basis of racial prejudice and equality, said Fa- ther Emmett McLoughlin, emi- nent social worker of this city, in an assembly speech last Tuesday. Though groups supporting the persecution of minorities can be stamped out, we have never been able to crush the ignorance which is responsible for racial persecu- tion . . . that is why people said our plan for a hospital training nurses of all races would never work. Though it is natural to assume that all hospitals should operate on that policy in a democracy, we are the first hospital in the United States to open with that idea. Father Emmett McLoughlin referred to the new Saint Monica Hospital, located in the southwest end of town. He was instrumental in both planning and or- ganizing the project and is now director. He went on to add, We know that the tact that we are taking in all races will make the lilywhite hypocrites look down their noses and frown. For that reason we are trying to prove to the hospitals and training schools that they can be Christians and turn out top rate nurses. We are not an isolated experiment but an integrated part of the life of Phoenix, using your college to turn out not just good nurses, but the best. Saint Monica is a real asset to the community. All accident cases are now taken there. They treat all the venereal disease that they can get hold of, taking in all patients regardless of the financial risk, having 553,000 listed on the books in unpaid bills. lt also includes the only hospital pharmacy in the state. As a closing topic, Father Emmett ven- tured to give his opinion on the latest session of the legislature. l am not a politician, but being a citizen of this e I feel I have the right to say that more futile legislature has never been Father Emmett then discussed the Tuberculosis Prevention Bill, adding that while cattle men were paid for every cow dead from tuberculosis, the legisla- lContinued on page 72l 4-'iiisapii ii : -I,-it ' f 1 i f -T . ,AV ' ' W ?i:l iw I ...U 'sigh I ' fi I I i K vi- 1 KS . line, , , I Q t . ,, , Q.- ,.f'--- - - ' Shown above are the members of the Executive Board as they chose Herman Lipow Bear Day chairman...

EXECUTIVE BOARD APPOINTS LIPOW BEAR DAY CHAIRMAN University of Chicago Offers Scholarships The University of Chicago has offered to any student interested a tuition schol- arship of S300 and scholarships yielding half-tuition of SI50 awarded upon appli- cation, recommendation, and a test of scholarship aptitude. Students of high scholastic standing who possess qualities of leadership are encouraged to apply for these scholar- ships and should see Mr. Phelps imme- diately. lt is necessary to file an appli- cation for admission to the University of Chicago at the same time that the schol- arship application is submitted. Mills College for girls also has offered aAscholarship open to Junior College. This scholarship pays full tuition amount- ing to 5400. For full particulars see Mr. Phelps, and see him at once. Herman Lipow, last year's Bear Day chairman, was re-elected to serve in the same capacity this year at an Executive Board meet- ing last Thursday. Pat Haire also announced that April 27 was un- der consideration as the tentative date of the annual spring outing. During the next few weeks student directors of the various contests will be appointed. The sophomores, who won the day's activities as freshmen last year, vow that they will win again. A freshman reply is still pending. All contests will occur on the afternoons before Bear Day, with the finals being held on Bear Day proper. All students who wish to participate must sign up on the bulletin board posters, which will appear soon. Bear Day is a twenty-year-old tradition on the PJC campus.

Page 72 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press Nationalism or Internationalism Tomorrow we will be celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. When we consider the large percentage of Irish-Americans in large cities it is not at aIl'surprising that Saint Patrick's Day has come to be one of the days which is celebrated in this country. However, it is strange that we should single out an Irish holiday. It would be just as logical and very much in the interest of international goodwill to celebrate Bastille Day, France's national holidayg Empire Day, the British holi- day, The Sixteenth of September, Mexico's holiday, and many others. Many of the people of Irish descent in this country who cling so fiercely to their nationalistic pride in Ireland have never seen Ire- land, nor will they ever. We presume that the readers of this editorial do not have'this attitude, but so many of the Irish-Americans are so busy fighting Ireland's fight against England la fight which has noth- ing to do with theml that they are unaware that there is another, more important, fight over principles taking place. Irish Nationalism Questioned The preceding brings up the question of lreIand's nationalism and her stand on the present conflict. All through this war Ireland has maintained a policy of neutrality. In I92I when Ireland was made a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations England kept certain naval bases which were vital to her defense in time of war. In I938, due to the insistence of Eamon De Valera, Prime Minister Chamberlain returned these bases to Ireland. As a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations Ireland was completely within her rights to refuse to enter the war and to re- fuse to let England use her naval bases in the anti-submarine campaign. Irish Neutrality Aided Germany? De Valera may have thfought that his country was neutral, but actually it was not. By refusing to let England use her important nav- al bases, Ireland was in reality helping Germany. From these bases England could have sent out destroyers and planes to combat the Ger- man submarine menace which endangered the shipping routes to Eng- land, and incidentally to Ireland also. De Valera had a definite purpose in remaining neutral. He had been fighting for many years for Ireland's freedom and complete equality with England. He felt that Ireland was too weak and unpre- pared for war and that if she were to enter she would lose all that she had been fighting for. Also, if England were to have'the use of her naval bases, that chances were very strong that German bombers would have blown the Irish cities off of the map. Perhaps De Valera' didn't realize that neutrality is an impossibility and that Ireland has strategic importance geographically in the defense of England and her shipping lanes. By refusing to enter the war Ireland showed that she was com- pletely independent of England, but if England and her allies had lost due to lreIand's hindrance, Ireland would not only have lost what she had gained but she would have become one more of the many nations under the German heel. Most of the Irish were in favor of an allied victory and the things which it'may bring with it, but they were unwilling to fight for it. Narrow nationalism such as that of the Irish nation seems entire- ly out of place today. How much better it would be to forget national interests and to work for increasing international cooperation. LET ME LIVE have my suggestionthat more people eat in restaurants at least tried. I know that the war would be ended sooner. First you enter and there is the smell of good food-all food smells good when you're hungry-let me say. Then you ,wait in line for a seat. Finally a ptomaine victim falls to the floor and there is a table for two, for your party of four. The next five or ten minutes you spend pushing dirty dishes into the middle of the table. Finally a won- der woman comes and removes the whole array in one magnificent as- semblage. Someday I'm going to or- der a seven-course dinner and wait around afterwards. In a remarkably short time the menu appears. What a wonderful selection it is, but an old eater-outer knows this is merely an ostentatious pre-war dis- play. And so for every item you wish to order you select four alternatives, memorize them and ask for them in that order, knowing that they will have by some unknown miracle the fourth or fifth. It is more or less like a game, and after so many times you get to know just what most of them have, but it would spoil the fun not to ask so you always do. It gives one a pre-war feeling. Those places which frankly state the three things they have dis- gust me. Then we come to the refusal period wherein a certain percentage of wait- resses, depending on how large and hurried the staff, try out different or- ders on you. This gets monotonous, but it also gives you an idea of what your plate might look like, something on the order of a style show. With the silver to play with and napkins to tear up, and, if there's a table juke box, the free nickel to hunt for, you amuse yourself till the plate comes. lt will not be exactly what you ordered, but I always smile bravely and remember my father's wise words People in hell want ice water. .O RACIAL PREJUDICE lContinued from page Il ture could not se-e fit to insure the health of the state residents.

But hcw many Americans know what they are cele- brating? Saint Patrick was a great fifth-century religious leader of Ireland. Born to an aristocratic Roman family in Scotland, he was captured when about sixteen and made a slave by an Irish raiding party. After spending six years in Ireland as a cattle herder he escaped and made his way to France, where he prepared himself for the priesthocd. - While at a monastery in Provenceiin the southern part of France he had a vi- sion in which he saw himself the victo- rious apostle of Christianity to Ireland. It was this vision which made him decide to devote the rest of his life to an attempt to Christianize pagan Ireland. Ireland was by no means made entirely Christian due to Saint Patrick's efforts, but his influence was very great. He is said to have founded 360 churches, .to have baptized over l2,000 people, and to have ordained many priests. The fertile brains of the lrishmen pro- duced all sorts of tales of miracles which the great Saint Patrick was supposed to have performed. The best known of these is that he banished snakes and toads from Ireland. It is told that at the time great that days. of his death the glory was so there was no night for twelve associated The word Irish word seamrog meaning trifoliate. The term is applied to almost all of the ,trifoliate plants of Ireland, each of which is said to be the plant picked by Saint Patrick to symbolize the Holy Trinity. The sham- rock has become the national plant of Ireland, just as Saint Patrick's Day has become its national holiday.

Told in a simple, natural style, the se- ries of episcdes that comprise this book will leave the reader at times laughing, mad, ready to cry, or with a better under- standing of the American makeup, for in this book you meet personalities. You meet not just characters like Roscovich, who wouIdn't allow a tie in the plane lhe cut the ends off and hid them underneath a rockl, but you also meet heroes like Arizona Harris, who fired from his turret until it sank beneath the waves. You will live the bombing missions, the tense and ugly air battles, you will smell the fresh blood. You will relax, too, as you vicariously experience their week ends in London, the girls they meet, the parties they attend. Air Gunner is so graphic, so clear and unhampered by complicated tech- nique iliteraryl that it is like attending a movie. The characters are not printed words but technicolor humans you can see and almost touch. Engrossing from first to last, Air Gun- ner is one of the finest war books of its type to be offered to the public. --P. H. 'Hutton-i, Bud and Rooney, Andy, Air Gun- ner, Farrar 8. Rinehart, Inc.

In some quarters the issue has come to be regarded as a purely personal conflict in statesmen's personalities and aspirations. However, its implications cover a broader field-that of interna- tional relations between the U. S. and France. De Gaulle has been subiected to some pretty stringent criticism from the French press, who said of their leader in regard to his refusal of the president's invitation that the general visit him as he would be 'unable to go to France, Let us beware of moods of anger that betray weakness more than real strength. However, the General was defended, too, by others of his press who said, Gent-:ral'de Gaulle was in no mood to Say yes to anything. It is far better that he said no to the invi- than no when asked for his ap- tation proval of Yalta. But middle most of the U. S. press took the road declaring that both Frank- lin Roosevelt and General de Gaulle could well-afford to be less haughty toward each other. It seems that more than personal atti- tudes should be considered in alleviating this strained situation between govern- ments. The Tokyo and Nazi Press have an excellent source for their newscasting and the sad, even dangerous thing, is that this source flourishes in the U. S. under the name of the Chicago Tribune. Consider this Tokyo broadcast to Aus- tralia and the South Seas: An American weapon is the wealth and power of her Railways have been communication sys- America also wants Colonel Robert Mc- big business men. built in Africa and tems in India, and a finger in Europe. Cormick lpublisher of the Tribunel is not a voice in the wilderness with his plan for more states in the union. lt seems that we shall turn some of our great admiration for the Nazi and Japanese press to an element, well- represented by the Tribune, in our na- tional press.

The cast is topped by Erroll Flynn, Henry Hull, and George Tobias, and, al- though the reviewers generally find the acting isn't wonderful, they also say it makes a good stab at being realistic. The critics also generally agree that Objective Burma had the potentialities of a great movie but The Nation says the main reason fit isn'tJ is that the players, by saying the apt line at the apt moment, continually remind iyou that they are, after all, just actors and none of this is really happening. Some of the camera work according to the New Republic is excellently clone and captures beautifully the mood of the time of day as well as the extraordinary look of action. The final remarks of the New Repub- lic's critic are typical of the other re- views. He says the movie tends to seem a little like a boy scout hike. But it is an exciting one ancl, in many ways, very genuine. THE DEAN'S OFFFICE The Open House regularly sched- uled for March 2l will be held during the week of April sixteenth. This has always been a very significant occa- sion with splendid student-faculty co- operation in arranging interesting dis- plays. It is not too early to plan acti- vities for the open house. High school seniors and their parents are special guests of the occasion. l This is a little plug on military matters. Men students are reminded that half credit may be had for this semester if they are able to complete nine weeks of work and take an ex- amination over the work to date. Men who are facing induction would do well to investigate it fully. The attention of these students is also called to a letter from the Armed Service Forces, 9th Service Command, Fort Douglas, -Utah, announcing the restoration of the A.S.T.R.P. program. This' letter is- posted in the Liberal Arts building and another copy is in the hands of Colonel Clyde Myers who is adviser for military matters in the college. . We wish to remind the students of PJC of the critical paper shortage. We urge you to do all within your power to conserve this essential ma- terial. l l l l l 1 I i Pictured above are Pat Haire, Herman Lipow, and Dr. Hannelly conferring about pians for Beer Day.

Missionary Will Talk To Language Club The third meeting of the Foreign Lan- guage Club will take place next Monday when Miss Floy Hawkins, a returned missionary from China, will relate some of her experiences to the students. Both the refreshments and the student singing will emphasize the Chinese motif. Miss Hunter, faculty sponsor, announced yesterday that the meeting will begin promptly at 7:l5. Glee Clubs Will Present Assembly Program Three choral groups will be featured in next week's assembly program. Begin- ning the assembly will be the Girls' Glee Club. They will sing three selections: My Own America by Wrubel, The Night Has A Thousand Eyes by Noble Cain, and Come To The Fair by East- hope and Martin. The Men's Glee Club will participate in the second part of program by singing The Bells of St. Mary's by Adams and On The Road To Mandalay by Speaks. They will be followed by the Mixed Cho- rus who will sing Going Home by Dvorak and Finlandia by Sebelius. The Girls' Glee Club will appear again to conclude the program. Their final se- lections will be Path Leading Down The River by Steinel, A Spirit Flower by Campbell and Tipton, and So's I Can Write My Name, which is a spiritual. Masque And Dagger Will Choose Scripts Officers and members of the Executive Board of Masque and Dagger are current- ly reading manuscripts to determine the choice of the spring three-act play. Also under surveyance are one-act scripts, one of which will be chosen for presentation at the Silver Jubilee cele- bration, which will take place Thursday, April l9. Parted on Her Wedding Mom, or She's More to Be Pitied Than Scorned, is still in rehearsal for the assembly pro- duction of an old-fashioned mellerdramer. Cast members include Betty Hagerty, Marilyn Lee, Bill Berry, Mary Lou Cham- bers, Harlin Cook, and Pat Haire. 0 BEAR DAY lContinued from page li mit to spring fever with gusto. A coveted trophy cup on display in the Club Room lists the winners. In order to facilitate preparation, here is a list of last year's activities: foot races, badminton, basketball, baseball, football, tennis, sack-dash, bicycle race, marathon, and archery. Other contests which may attract some are pie-eating and beard growing. There will also be the 50-yard and IOO-yard dashes. Members of the Executive Board are now considering the location for the all- day outing. It will be at Encanto or Riverside. If held at Riverside, there will be swimming races.

Page 76 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associate Collegiate Press Governor Arnall -- Southern Progressive lt is the aim of Bear Tracks to bring to the attention of the Junior College public matters which we think are worthwhile, and which might otherwise escape notice. With this in mind we begin a series of editorials on prominent figures in the national scene. 'k 'k 51' Ellis Gibbs Arnall, 37-year-old governor of Georgia, is hailed as one of today's most progressive southern leaders. Under his personal leadership, the question of poll tax repeal in Georgia was brought to a head and broken. Georgia has recently repealed the poll tax. When the legislators voted to retain the poll tax by a l4l-5l vote in the House of Representatives, Arnall threatened to repeal the law for a two-year period by executive decree which is permitted under the Georgia constitution. Faced with the prospect of an unfriendly election the bill was hurriedly passed by both houses. This strikes a new note in Georgia's history, for while it stood Georgia was governed by a select few. Now the total population can become an essential cog in Georgia's political process. For those who expected the Negro immediately to dominate the political scene, Arnall has pointed out that while one-half million ne- gros will be liberated, the white majority will still reign. The poll tax repeal will allow one million poor whites to participate at the polls. However, that repeal is not Arnall's sole claim to the term prog- ressive On August 3, l943, Georgia passed a bill allowing l8-year- olds the right to vote, becoming the first state to do so. Arnall claims that there is more political enthusiasm and courage among the young. He might well have added that the young are quixotic enough to fight for their ideals before age tempers their ardor. Arnall's predecessor was the famed hillbilly Gene Talmadge, who became on short notice a political boss and began to corrupt Geor- gia. By meddling with the Georgia University Board of Directors, he was able to give degrees to those he wanted, and the result was the removal of the University from the accredited list. Under Arnall, the Georgia legislature has removed the state boards from the governor's personal domination. He has also brought about the abolishment of the pardon and parole racket. The famous Georgia chain gangs are also a thing of the past. Arnall has insisted on easing Georgia's reputation as a backward state. He stands for southern industrialization and the accompanying prosperity expanded for the benefit of all the people. lt is encouraging to note that the South, long noted for conserva- tive policy, is beginning to bring forth unafraid progressive leaders. - H AERS . f4 ext i 1639 A 's 9 'O ti ' ' fa f ,, Q df 0 ta 2 L- JY 2' V 0 he D ' 4 +6 I 5 s D ll it :. i .f 'Tiki-', e r ' 5 ti! 0 W! .Q ..

She is Adelaide Crom- well Hill, a sociologist who received her B.A. at Smith cum laude in l94O. Since then she has gotten an M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, and at the present time is working for a Ph.D. as Harvard. The Smith College faculty also includes two Chinese and a Japanese. lt is gratifying to note that at least some of our colleges are beginning to practice the liberality which they preach. While there are a few Negroes on -college faculties, Smith's action in hiring a Negrc teacher was comparatively unique. We can never have the racial equality to which we pay lip service until the Negroes and others of minority racial groups are allowed to hold other than menial jobs. Smith is to be commended for taking this step toward accomplishing this. Also in this issue was an article tell- ing of the death of Robert Perry. Perry was a V-12 trainee who died as a result of injuries which he received from the hazing accompanying his initiation into Phi Beta Pi, a medical fraternity on the campus of St. Louis University. The clean of the'medical school took the attitude that boys will be boys. The Rev. Alphonse M. Schwitalla declared There was no . . . hidden motive in the act .... l don't think we'll complicate the situation by handing down any re- strictions. ' Undoubtedly the Rev. Schwitalla was right in thinking that there was no hidden motive in the act. l doubt very seriously if the members of the fraternity had any idea of killing one of their pledges. The point is, however, that they did. Hazing is supposed to be great fun. If a pledge can take the initiation he is a good4sport, but every now and then the initiation can produce tragic results. You may say that Perry's is an extreme case. lt is. Seldom will hazing produce this effect, but even when it doesn't it seems silly. The dean's attitude was entirely wrong. Even though Perry's hazers were penitent something should be done to prevent a similar occurance. -E. L. i o .. This Week's Editorial Board Editor ........................................... ........

The story is at once a sociological sur- vey of the Negro in the South and the intimate chronicle of a single individual. Devoid of the gayety so often attributed to the carefree colored man, the book sets dcwn the lives of its characters as they were lived, honestly and without rationalization. Their lives are character- ized by squalor, filth, hunger, deceit, ig- norance, and an almost unbelievable fear of the white man. Mr. Wright speaks for himself as one of those Negroes who will not be sub- dued nor enslaved by the white man. Because of his singular attitude he is at home with neither the blackt man nor the white man. Richard Wright's book is a challenge to the democracy with which we Ameri- cans pride ourselves. There is not the slightest hint of the equality of opportu- nity democracy is supposed to provide, in the life of the Southern Negro. The reader who fails to read Black Boy denies himself a unique and signifi- cant experience. 'Richard Wright, Black Boy. Harpers, This book is to be found in the English Reading Room.

Hartman to the Biology department students last Wednes- day, March 2l. This was the first of a se- ries of lectures to be given on Wednes- days during the second hour, and are open to any student who wishes to attend them. 'Dr. Hartman, a graduate of Tulane University in New Orleans, is now on the staff at Grunow Clinic, working with Dr. James Lytton-Smith, and specializing in Ortheopedic Surgery. Of special note is his work at the local home for crippled children. . Through one of his hobbies, football, Dr. Hartman has come into contact with many of the local high school students, as he refereed the games at Phoenix Union High School last fall, Review of Literature, the fault lies ir the fact that Reverence for literature often goes hand in hand with singular lack of instinct for cinematic story tell- ing. Cast members other than George Saun- ders are comparatively unknown, but the New Yorker finds that none of the cast is Quite able to grapple with the curious combination of statuesque prose and rapid exposition required by the pro- ducers. However, with all its criticism, Time finds that the movie's epigrams speak even more sharply than they read, and its dramatic essence is vividly visual. The Saturday Review of Literature commends the scenarist-director for his experimentation, pointing out that he at least recognizes the importance of being earnest. The length of the reviews indicate the picture is worth broad discussion. ..l3.l..- Music Department Presents Assembly Songs by the Girls' Glee Club, the Men's Glee Club, the Girls' Quartet, and the Mixed Chorus were featured in Tues- day's assembly. These groups are all under the direction of Mrs. Taylor. The program was opened by the sing- ing of three songs by the Girls' Glee Club.

Presenting-- Mrs. Curtis! One of the newest additions to the JC campus is Mrs. Margery Curtis, who has taken over the job of switchboard operator. She came here at the first of this semester, and we wish to take this opportunity to apologize for not intro- ducing her sooner. Mrs. Curtis is a native of Glendale, and attended schools there. She is a graduate of the State Teachers' College at Tempe. Before coming to JC Mrs. Curtis taught home economics at Mo- renci and Peoria High Schools. Mr. Curtis is now serving with the U. S. forces in the Philippines. Mrs. Margery Curtis Home Ec Leader Visits Campus Planning programs for Student Clubs was the subject discussed by Miss Julia Wyckoff, Field Secretary of the American Home Economics Association, in a short meeting held for Eta Chi members and their guests in the clubroom during acti- vity period this morning. Miss Wyckoff, who is in charge of col- lege student home economics clubs throughout the country, spent the rest of the morning visiting the campus, and later was guest of honor at a luncheon given by the Eta Chi officers. Miss Wyckoff was formerly head of the home economics department at Kansas State College. While in Arizona, she is planning visits to Tempe and Tucson. o China Featured At Language Club Descriptions of interesting Chinese customs and accounts of some of her ad- ventures among the Chinese people she had met in her work as a missionary in China, furnished the theme of the talk given by Miss Floy Hawkins, guest speak- er at the Foreign Language Club meeting last Monday evening in the Club Room. Miss Hawkins also exhibited articles of Chinese clothing and ornaments. American cokes and popcorn and Chi- nese almond cakes were served after community singing.

The hour of Allied victory in Germany becomes more imminent daily and perhaps will have been accomplished by the time this edi- tonga! is read. However, what is said here will be none-the-less appli- ca e. Some persons await this V-E Day in eager glee-as a good excuse for drunken chaos. Some of us thrive on this sort of celebration. Those whose attitude lends impetus to this sort of conduct are evi- dently unaware of the implications of winning a battle of before- unheard-of proportions. General carousal will be no aid to the achieve- ment of this realization. This attitude is by no means an innovation, but it has just recently become blatantly obvious. When Jimmy Byrnes, our new price stabi- lizer, sought to place a curfew on places of entertainment, the reac- tion was reflected in phrases such as this: Turn off the furnace and let us drink in our overcoats. If we react in this manner we celebrate the deaths of thousands of men, the destruction of thousands of homes, the starvation and dis- ease which ravage naticns. These are a few of the dreadful prices of war. An intelligent man could scarcely cheer them. Too, there are other theatres of this war which cannot be ignored, They are far from being victoriously ours. Instead they are taxing the physical and mental strength of our men to an almost impossible de- gree. When we speak the words victory in Europe we must remember it is but a military victory we pronounce, which constitutes an important but comparatively small part of the greater battle we are waging. That battle will have just begun with the cessation of military activity. And that will be the battle in which each of us must assume respon- sibility. We cannot thoughtlessly negative the great sacrifice of our armed forces by the psychological corruption of drunkenness. The task at home is still ahead of us and it will demand a greater courage and alertness than ever before. For instance, Dumbarton Oaks stands only as a symbol of the inter- nationalism which we must accomplish if we are to succeed in' our aims of peace. These aims already are realizing great enough impedi- ment as a consequence of disagreement among the political heads-of Allied Nations. We must see that our representatives represent us wisely and faithfully and convert this symbolism to reality. How will we treat a defeated Germany? We cannot be so soft as to allow the Nazis opportunity for reorganization but we cannot be so harsh as to inspire a new Nazism. Shall we once again observe world economic breakdown by iso- lating ourselves with a tariff wall? The issues are endless. A V-E Day of concentrated work and thought would certainly dig- nify the indignity of our civilian life during war-time. lf we realize a solemn, thoughtful celebration we shall have taken a step toward the sort of action which will mean real victory, not a superficial one. Lost Articles May Be Found In Registrar's Office! The final ,resting place for missing articles is the Lost and Found in the Registrar's Office. Mrs. Curtis, current proprietress, looks over her loot: pens, pencils, pins, jackets, sweaters, books, glasses, scarves, gloves, notebooks, keys, lipsticks, bracelets, and just stuff. During the entire year students and faculty have been turning in abandoned articles, few of which have been claimed. Students are 'urged to ask for lost pos- sessions at the Lost and Found, and to turn in those they find. CHLOE IS NOT THE ONLY SC lslick chick, to you? that will be found in the Blue and Gold Room tonight. Or as Nero said as he fiddled away, There'll be a hot time in the Blue and Gold Room to- night when the JC kids pour in. Major event this eve is sponsored by the AMS and provides a good chance for a get- acquainted party if you still can't call everyone by their first name. Zeitlin, social chairman, promises games for all . . . all the way from ping-pong to the Lindy Hop. WHAT'S MORE, THIS IS STRICTLY A STAG affair. The fellows want to freelance about so there will be a roam- ing, ripping, roaring stag line. They promise to entertain us thoroughly. So be on hand if you like fun and frolic. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO EXTEND our own special little award lworth noth- ing, naturally, it's the sentiment that countsl to the Woodson club for the fine assembly they brought to us. We're still weak in the knees . . . how about a dance with them providing the music? Sounds swell, huh? We'll have to work on it. AND WHAT'S MORE, WE HEREWITH challenge anyone to try and beat us in the pie eating contest this Bear Day. lt's one victory the rest of you guys will never have the glory of tasting. Last year Mr. Smelser got so excited he ate half the plate. But this year . . . a different story .... - THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS SCHED- ULED that are innovations . . . and what with the faculty competing, it might turn out to be a laugh. The freshmen may win by sheer dint of numbers, but the sophomores have brains and wits to help combat the horde of hoodlums aspiring to the crown. Little Leon Black is in- deed energetic. He is having a fling at everything, and we'Il give you two to one, he weakens before Bear Day arrives. No man, no matter how vitamin fortified, can stand that pace. HEY! WHERE ARE THE BEARDS??? That's a traditional Bear Day event. Bill Berry and Daffy are the only two to sprout out, and both freshmen. This is infamous. Rally you sophomores . . . to the fray!!! P H. ' lQ1f1i....,.,..

Mauldin plans to go on doing cartoons of those same guys who fought in the Italian hills, except that they will be living as they should be, in civilian clothes .... This is a typical excerpt from a page in Brave Meng it is the brief but satisfying anecdote which typi- fies the entire book by War Correspon- dent Ernie Pyle. For 466 pages the reader goes with Ernie Pyle from soldier to sailor to air- corpsman, seeing a little of each in ac- tion and in leisure, laughing with him as he does his job, watching with him as the shells strike nearer . . . and nearer. He is not merely a khaki-clad automaton, this warrior, he is a man we might know, living an existence characterized by in- stability. This book probably represents what a soldier would write about his war if he were suddenly made articulate and were given the perspective and range attained by the intense little Ernie Pyle. The war pictured here is not just a great concerted movement of gigantic forces, it is an indi- vidual man working with another indi- vidual man, often it seems to him as though he and his crew are the only ones out there fighting. Perhaps you occasionally may find the reading slow, but never uninteresting. D. K. 'Pyle, Ernie, Brave Men, Henry Holt and Co., Inc., 1945. This book is available in the English Reading Room.

ABOUT THE MOVIES This is the first time in our experi- ence we have found a nine-minute reel merit so much critical comment. lt's a newsreel of the lwo Jima invasion taken by Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps camera men. The New Yorkers says, Here, again, as in the Fighting Lady are the puzzled, tired, and never heroic faces of men un- der fire, and the inescapable fact that a landing army has to pay heavily in lives. The Nation comments The tremendous material recorded by the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard camera lisl un- usually intelligent job of editing, writing, sound tracking. All reviews carry on at some length about particular instances of the real drama which this film records. Its im- pact is so great as to prompt nothing but silence from those who cannot have ex- perienced it, according to the reviewers. Time pronounces, lt demonstrates, in fact, more clearly than any previous film, that war in its crucial essence is neither dramatic nor particularly human, but paroxysmicg that it is simply hell on earth. These quotations seem to be recom- mendation enough. Students! Urge your families to collect waste paper. Agencies for collection are the grade schools. Teachers! Go through your school cupboards and discard all old mate- rials which are of ho further use to you and which might be valuable to the drive. Ask the janitors of your respective buildings to collect the ma- terial. LET ME LIVE TO see anything more intriguing than this Arizona weather now.

Cafeteria Today Members of the Phoenix Ad- vertising Club will hold their weekly luncheon today in the Phoenix Junior College Cafeteria. During the luncheon they will be entertained by incidental music and then will be taken on a tour of the campus by members of the Executive and Honor Boards. The Ad Club, which was organized in I937, is a local organization of 57 mem- bers which is affiliated with the Pacific Advertising Association. The main pur- poses of the Ad Club are to exchange ideas and to further policies and projects in which advertising as a profession is in- terested. President of the Advertising Club is Albert Johnson. Other officers are Mor- gan Pennington, first vice-presidentj Mrs. Blanche McClain, second vice-president, and Miss Benet Hanau, secretary-treas- urer. - One of the club's outstanding projects recently has been to convince the public that advertising is not an added expense on articles, but that it is actually a price- lowering factor. The club is composed of all interested people who are connected in any way with advertising. This includes all people who work with advertising media lsuch as ra- dio, newspapers, and billboardsl, people in the advertising departments of local firms, public relations and publicity work- ers, and people who work in advertising agencies. As a special war-time project the Phoe- nix Advertising Club has taken over the duties of the War Advertising Council in Phoenix. The main job of the club in this connection is to advertise all campaigns connected with the war effort. Among these campaigns are those for war bond sales, nurse recruiting, and scrap paper collection.

Twenty-five years is six years beyond eternity, and that lS a long time. A silver jubilee should be a time for taking stock as well as a time for celebration. What have we done with these twenty-five years? Have they been profitable? After making an investigation we think it can be said without fear of contradiction that it HAS been worth- while and that we of the present student body have reason to be proud both of ourselves and of those generations which have gone before us. College Owes Growth to Community We know that mere increase in numbers and growth of physical equipment do not necessarily prove our worth, but they DO prove that our performance up to now has brought ever-increasing numbers of students into our classrooms and has convinced this community that we have been worth the expenditure of great effort and large sums of money. And this brings us to 'a point which we think should rank first among the ideas to be connected with this celebration. THIS COM- MUNITY DESERVES CONGRATULATION AND HEARTFELT THANKS from our generation of students for the faith which it has demonstrated in the value to a growing democracy of good public education. It certainly does not escape us that thousands of young people in the vicinity would never have had the opportunities which college offers had it not been for the vision and clear thinking of our community. Colleqe Life Contributes to Community Life AND WE ARE PROUD of what we think has been the great con- tribution which the college has made to better living in Phoenix and in hundreds of other communities throughout the country. We are proud of the thousands of Phoemicians who call the college alma mater. We are proud of the cotnfibution, direct and indirect, which the college has made to the winning of this great war. ln short, we are proud of the college's contribution to the growth of American de- mocratic living. BUT WE ARE ALSO HUMBLE, Wherywe think of how much has been done in our behalf by so many, we are perhaps a bit concerned by the obligation and responsibility which that effort places on our not-so-old and not-so-wise shoulders. But, being young, we are not frightened by the prospect, only serious, and we hope we have left behind us our hobbledehoydom and reached some degree of ma- turity.

'TlTTSLE DIDS WE REALIZE, AS WE registered this year, that we were event- ually to take part in such a big shindig, and such a gala and important one, as this Silver Jubilee. Little did we realize, too, that we were to be the chosen few to represent 25 years of JC history, with the eager eyes of our community turned on us. lt frightens us somewhatg youth doesn't appreciate too much publicity. For hardened as we are, limelight still makes us timorous. DON'T GET US WRONG, HOWEVER! We're really thrilled over the whole idea, we feel a little flattered lwithout just cause to bel and content with the knowl- edge that at last JC will get a public hearing and appraisal . . . we feel sure of the results. We've knocked about JC long enough to know why it is what it is. The only outcome can be public satisfac- tion. WE MAY BE A SMALL STUDENT BODY, BUT we're a proud one . . . we're just as proud as any former or subsequent student body . . . for the quality about JC that inspires pride is not a transient one, but durable. And we'd be willing to wager that there hasn't been a friend- lier student body since the few first in- augural years . . . we're small, we're compact, and we have fun. And l think it's safe to say we're mighty well be- haved . . . mostly! THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FREEDOM we have to handle our affairs as we see fit is demonstrative of the prevailing spirit. No one runs the show out here, it's a cooperative enterprise . . . faculty and students are friends . . . that's not just a press blurb, but the Bear facts, Take Bear Day, on the books for May 4th, Faculty are entering in contests such as badminton, ping pong, ple eating, sack racing, tennis, and peanut racing. They're in for a lot of ribbing, but they're not resented. SURE WE GRIPE-WHAT HEALTHY PERSON doesn't gripe? lt's a defensive measure to prevent backsliding into complacency . . . for all in all, we must admit we've got a setup . . , a neat setup . . . and we're happy about the whole thing. We hope you will be,,too. -.ilO This Week's Editorial Board Editor ,,................,......................... .... . .

Stewart - BEAR TRAClffSjVPHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page NO. 85 , ' i 1 . , . r President and Dean Head Jubilee Activitiesl 'za s . I l l 1 This is President E. W. Montgomery who has seen the college grow from the little group which was housed in the frame cottages shown at the top of page 86 to the institution which we know to- day. He first came to Phoenix in the summer of I925, which means that he is now completing his twentieth year as president of the college and as superin- tendent of the whole Phoenix secondary school system. When this reporter suggested that per- haps the tremendous development of the college and of the high school during thse last twenty years was the result of his energy and vision, he said that whatever he has done has been done with inspira- tion and constant support from a board of education which has always felt that noth- ing less than the best should be secured in the way of education for the district. Mr. Montgomery came to Phoenix from the superintendency of the city schools in Bedford, Indiana. Before that he served with the American schools in the Philip- pines during the early period of the oc- cupation, when teachers had to teach armed with guns in order to fend off inter- ference from individuals and groups who settled differences of opinion with bolos. The record of Mr. Montgomery's lead- ership in and service to the teaching pro- fession is too long to-detail here. Suf- fice it to report that he has at one time or another held every position of honor or trust in Arizona professional circles and that he is at present first vice-president of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Dr. H. B. Wyman has been Dean of Phoenix Junior College since the fall of l93l, when he arrived the saysl before the ink wrs dry on the sheepskin which certified that he was a Doctor of Philoso- phy at the University of Ohio. Dr. Wyman, in addition to holding sev- eral schodl administrative positions in Ohio, was at one time chief chemist in the engineering department of the B. F. Goodrich Company. His activities in edu- cational circles are many, he has held many positions in the Arizona Education Association and has been vice-president of the American Association of Junior Col- leges. His educational philosophy is best described by the reply he made to a ques- tion about 'what he considered the most important part of a college. Nothing, he said, is of comparable importance with the fact that the students of the college are learning to think and do things for themselves to the end of more humane living. Sources close to the Dean say that his steaks lreminiscencel cooked out-of-doors are wonderful. ....O . SCHEDULE CHANGE The Activity period this week will come at the end of the fourth hour in- stead of between the second and the third, that is to say, from ll:40 to l2:lO instead of from 9:50 to lO:2O. The change is being made in order that thenload on the cafeteria will not be too great during the noon hour. Except for the third and fourth, all classes will convene at the usual time. If you enjoy the New Yorker with its humor-packed pages whose technique of nonchalance turns out to be a facade veiling a probing, pointed punch aimed at some of mankind's problems and fol- lies, you will enioy Liebling's The Road Back To Paris. Liebling is the writer for the New Yorker who reported the activities of the lunatic and non-essential fringe of society-sea lion trainers, female psy- chiatrists, cigar store proprietors, and press agent for wrestlers. The Road involves the travels of Lieb- ling to Paris, his retreat after June T940 to Washington, his roaming to London, around the sub-infested Atlantic, and, finally, his landing in North Africa with the invasion forces. The Road is a college composition of personalities plastered upon the event- textured background of a world in a squared circle. Some of the personali- ties are tragic-some heroic-some irre- pressibly gay-some disintegrating. The Road stops at Tunis with the realization that the road will end in Paris-and vic- tory. M. H.

Summer School Courses Announced An eight-week summer school will be conducted by Junior College this year, Dean Wyman announced last week. Reg- istration will be completed on June 4, and classes will begin on June 5. All classes will end on Friday, July 27. As has been the custom during the past three sessions of the Summer School the number and variety of courses offered will be limited only by demand. ln general all classes are taught by the regular college faculty. The Summer School, which held its first session in l942, is one of the many Junior College innovations growing out of the war needs of the community. Providing that there is sufficient de- mand to warrant the operation of the course, the students may study English, French, Spanish, German, Mathematics, History, Physics, and- Speech, among oth- ers. The tuition charge is five dollars per semester hour plus a two-dollar reg- istration fee. As many as nine semester hours of college credit may be earned during the eight-week summer period. h ' V1 M ,3,5?eA ' , af, ' Q 7' -. 4,3 . e - l A-J.-4' L -ivr?-'Light' A ,3 i ' W i T riglfwl-ra Hu-Ji 'lldhyl 1, ', 1 I l A , 1.

The next year brought the addition ot the sec- ond year courses and a class of lv- oenix Junior College from 1920 to 1925 BORN IN COTTAGE IN 1920, MOVES IN 1925 graduates numbering tive. During the tive years in which the college called the two little cottages on the edge ot the high school campus home the en- rollment almost reached one hun- dred. Then in the tall of 1925 the college moved across the street to what must have looked like a magniticant structure, the build- ing then known as Cottonwood Court. It was at this point that the real growth of the college be-- Betore we lett this house gan. the enrollment had reached 422 and the college had been admit- ted to tull membership' in the North Central Association ot Col- leges and Secondary Schools. ln- cidentally, Phoenix Junior Col- lege was the second Arizona col- lege to achieve this distinction.

The Arizona legislature in 1927 legalized the estab- lishment of junior colleges in Arizona. Everyone concerned was now fully convinced that the college was here to stay and that it had a real future. During the school year 1928-1929 the structure which is now known as the Phoenix Technical School was built to house the rapidly growing college. ln the fall of l929 we moved into the first real campus we had known. The old building, FACU LTY, 1924 fDr. Laird stands in the front row at the extreme right. 6? which even then was beginning to show its age, was used for some classes and came to be call- ed the Music Hall. The first six years of the thirties were marked by the skyrocketing enrollment, a growing diversity of course offerings, an in- creasing faculty, and a developing feeling that the fine new building was not to be long ade- quate for the needs of the no-longer-small col- lege. It was not surprising, therefore, when the Board of Education decided in 1938 that the time had come to build a full-fledged college campus. In the fall of 1938 ground was broken for Student Executive Board, 1922-23 the new campus on a thirty-acre plot on the north side of Thomas Road facing Encanto Park. The S750,000 cost of the enterprise was shared with the federal gov- ernment throu'gh the PWA pro- gram. ln the early spring of 1939 the curious could look down into great cavities in the fields, cavi- ties which the informed explained were the holes into which the . building foundations were to be poured.

The impression was that they were sitting among the ruins ot some ancient civili- zation. ' ln the quiet ot the summer ot l939 the buildings began to rise above the ground, all ot them at about the same rate ot speed. By the middle of August speculation began, speculation not unlike that which now goes on about the end ot the war in Europe. Would the campus be ready for the opening of school in September? Some said, yes Some said, no. Some said, well-now you can never be sure. And those last were the nearest right, because, although it was determined that college would open on the new campus, and just when everything was going along well, the rains Summer, 1939 came. And the rains stayed-day after day after dayl The ditches built to accommodate the water mains tilled to the brim, and the unsodded expanses became seas of mud. But the college opened almost on schedule, and while l-litler's armies were sweeping across Po- land, Junior College began the ca- reer which was to carry it-to what heights?

Five years ago, when only a very few Americans were even dimly aware of the im- plications of what the German armies were doing in Europe, Junior College inaugurated its first Civilian Pilot Training program. CAbove is a picture taken in the spring of l94O, showing the members of the very first CPT group.l The campus program started with pri- mary training, then moved to secondary, and ended by giving full advanced courses, including cross country and link trainer sequences.

Students and faculty will be featured on KOY, KPHO, and KTAR on three different nights. Mr. E. W. Montgomery, president of the Junior College, will speak on the war and the post-war period in connection with Junior College, Dr, R. H. Hannelly, direc- tor of mathematics, will discuss the Friday night program at the college: the assem- bly and the dance in the gym, and Dean H. B. Wyman will talk on the North Cen- tral Association of Colleges and Universi- ties. Musical and oratorical specialties under the direction of Mr. Earle L. Stone will be presented by the following students and alumni: piano selections by Colleen Tum- mins, and Jackie Salyardsj vocal numbers by Barbara Wilson, accompanied by Bet- ty Sasser, and Blanche Smathers, class of '43j and a reading by Beulah Wilson. Program continuity will be handled on the three programs by Pat Haire, Nancy Newton, and Mary Lou Lindstrom. Jack Williams of KOY will also appear on the program. ABOUT THE Movies God ls My Co-Pilot has been put to the test of film adaptation without remarkable success. Its two outstanding cast members are Dennis Morgan and Raymond Massey, who, according to Time, are sincere in their performances. However, other reviews imply that their sincerity is not enough to make the picture a success. The Nation carries on at some length in adversely critical comment on the re- ligious conversations of the Colonel, Mor- gan, and a priest, Raymond Massey. The New Yorker adds in facetious tone, l have no objection to piety, of course, but I can't help feeling that a man ought to keep his mind on one thing at a time, especially a combat pi- lot. Time rather relieves the situation by pointing out, Between these well- rneant, but not very convincing religious dialogues, however, there is a good deal of swift and explosive air combat, about as exciting as such material can hope to be after it has been filmed so well and so often. 'V Despite the reviewers' general indif- ference to the good points of the drama, there are indications that it has the necessary appeal to interest war-movie goers. VOL. I7 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, i945 NO. 26 Dance For Seniors Set For Saturday Spring is the theme that has been chosen for the annual dance to be given by the student body May 5, in honor of the high school seniors.

This program, which grew out of inter-racial discussion groups at the U.S.O., has as its objective the arousing of interest of the community in civic and governmental affairs. The broadcast KKOY, 9:30 P.M., Wednesdays? has a gradually-widening group of sponsors including the Central La- bor Council, the Salt River Valley Teachers Association, the Parent- Teacher Association, the American Legion, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the Y.W.C.A., and the Y.M.C.A. Representatives from each of these groups meet every Sunday afternoon to choose subjects and participants for the coming discussion groups. Although service- men are not permitted to engage in these broadcasts they are instru- mental in planning the programs. Today the citizens of all countries are planning for the future. We are constantly reminded of change and progress as we see adver- tisements telling us of the improved utilities which will be ours after the war. The question which is foremost in our mind, however, is, are we planning improvements in civic and governmental administration as well? Are we preparing for the peace by discussing the vital prob- lems which will face us in the all-too-near future? Democracy can be promoted and expanded only through a na- tional awareness and interest in the problems of government. In a democracy the people are sovereign and as such impart to the various controlling agencies tfederal government, state, cityl those powers which they consider necessary for a well-regulated and safe communi- ty. How can we accept this all-important task unless we understand the needs and problems of the system of government under which we live? This fight to interest citizens in their duties and privileges is not confined, however, to local radio broadcasts. Other radio programs such as the Chicago Round-Table and the Town Meeting of the Air strive to achieve this same objective. A recent joint-resolution pres- ented to the Congress by Senator Claude Pepper of Florida would en- able the broadcast of Congressional debate. Senator Pepper, in urg- ing the passage of the billsaid, l think it would do wonders to raise the standard of debate in Congress. It would improve the process of making Democracy work. Today we are fighting a war so that we may have security for our country and people in the future. Will our governmental institutions, our way of living, and our standards be worthy of this sacrifice? The college students of today will live and lead in the future. lt is their responsibility then to be familiar with the leading issues today for the decisions made by our government now will determine the structure under which we must live tomorrow. too slushy to be tasteful it commends the performance of the principal actors by saying The movie was done quite well for the delicately vulgar sort of thing it is, especially by Robert'Young and Doro- thy McGuire. ABOUT THE MOVIES The movies have tried a revival of an old Rivero play, The Enchanted Cot- tage, and indications are that the film . . T' t f' th r h bi will arouse an audience's interest. 'me' oo' mds esory mus y U adds because the story leaves room for a lot of sincere sentiment and for even more acting for .acting's sake, the story is also' an extremely efficient tear-jerker which can get past the guards or even the wariest. The story revolves about a iive young man, Robert Young, made ugly by the war, a slavey, Dorothy McGuire, who was I born ugly, and a blind musician, Herbert Marshall, who helped to instruct them to the vision of the heart. , For lovers of the sentimental story, this Although the Nation finds the film set-up seems ideal. LET ME LIVE to enjoy a week not owned by anyone or any organization. Frankly, I wonder how we kept ourselves amused and what we did with our money before we had: Fire Prevention Week, Boy and Girl Week, Plant a Flower Week, Music Week, Get Tom Mooney Out of Jail Week, Butcher's Week, What Happened To The Man Who Wrote 'Yes, We Got No Bananas' Week, Lock Your Door Week, Laxative Week, and Keep Your Cat Out of the Neighbor's Bird Cage Week. and not only that-on Saturdays it is absolutely unsafe to put your foot on the streets. Poor little roped-in suck- ers rush up to you when you are sur- veying an interesting Newberry's dis- play or just after you have made it across the street against the light in one piece and shove a milk can with a hole in it under your nose with one hand and a handmade tagged geranium with the other .and you're supposed to buy it whether you are interested in geraniums lhandmadel or homeless scurvy victims or not. and not only that-it is getting so now that when soft music begins and the light go up in a theater there is a sudden, mad, rush for the exits. Peo- ple are beginning to realize that a lit- tle, flat, pleading-to-be-filled looking basket usually follows. Not that l mind giving-but the insidious, catch- 'em-off-guard tactics don't appeal to me. to see theater managers get some sense. They should, after a particularly weepy picture, leave the lights off long en- ough for the weaker, more emotional members of the audience to repair the flood damages. It is most embarrass- ing as they work it now. to find a legitimate, comfortable place to study. The Iibrary's hardwood tor- ture seats were designed for the more hardy of the species and even they may be seen shifting around all over the table and chair trying to find a posi- tion that isn't a bone-Crusher. Now Steve's car is the most comfortable and nicest smelling around here+at that he parks it so close to the Liberal Arts building that draughts of Come Dance Upon the Green and solos by Mr. Ste- wart waft away any captured study at- titude. -G.

One Optimist lin more ways than onel remarked with a snort to his fellow Optimists, l can't see why it takes people years to go through college. Here l've done it in one day! PUSHERS OF THE GROUPS OF campus tourists will tell you that their job was a hard one. Stragglers will straggle, and the men seemed to enjoy stopping and chatting on the way. One Kiwanian, passing through the biology lab, spotted Eldon Hamblin working on the alleged remains of a cat. Jokingly, he asked in dead seriousness, What did that cat die from? Eldon whipped back Chloro- form. PULLERS HAD A TIME, Too, trying to maintain proper distances between en- ergetic and lethargic groups. The men of various clubs kidded each other mer- cilessly as to age and ability, and the pullers had a hard time keeping up with their vim and Avigor. This is the date bureau, remarked one guide with a wave of the hand toward the parking lot. l see, .quipped an Ad Clubber, it's auto- matic. BILL BERRY FELT A BLUSH RISE TO the occasion as one Lion remarked, noting door signs, Oh, do they have men out here? Steve Lampropoulos had a unique experience. When one man jabbered at his in Spanish Steve replied that he was Greek. The man launched into that tongue and left Steve open-mouthed. Louie embarrassed the Phys. Ed. section as sight-seers passed through. Further details upon request. ALL THE MEN WERE READY TO take a shower by the time they reached the gym, but they all gallantly stuck to their guns to see it through. And, incidentally, a lot of taxpayers have promised to help pay for a swimming pool. Wouldn't that be neat? ' IT WAS HARD WORK GETTING the men across the stage, away from Dorothy Beach and the footlights. They either wanted to stare or perform. And as they emerged once more into the sunlight a familiar scene struck their eyes. A woo- some twosome sprawled on the lawn. Remarked Andy Chuka, Things haven't changed a bit since I went to school. And in response to teasing, added, what we think was a squelching remark, You fellows are too narrow-minded. I remem- ber how it feels. lt's spring. tempts to explain the fall of France to Germany through an analyzation of the typical Frenchmen's reaction to Fascism and social change. He believes that France could have been saved had she progressed industrially as had her neigh- bors, England and Germany. The questions as to why France didn't progress is answered in a rather unique manner. Koestler answers this question by giving the conditions and elements that existed in French national life which left them unable to defend themselves. He defines the stages in this evolution as natural riches, saturation, individual- ism, provincial backwardness, stagnation, isolationism, neurotic fear of being dis- turbed, and finally Chinese Wall psycho- sis. The natural resources and their tensive development allowed France to re- main a land of Bread and Wine in an Age of Steam and Steel. Although published in 1941, scum of the Earth is still a timely and interest- ing book. Its message is of significance to students who hope to understand France's post-war development. Nine To Receive Basketball Letters Nine men have been recommended for the honor of receiving basket-ball let- ters, Coach Hoy announced recently. Those recommended are Don Douthit, William Henderson, John Krell, Leslie Metzger, Clayton Niles, and Max Ward. At a meeting several weeks ago Metz- ger was elected president of the Letter- man's Club. Henderson was elected vice- president and Krell, secretary-treasurer. Board of Education deems it to be of sufficient importance to dismiss classes for the day. All students and faculty members should attend as part of their regular college appointments. This affair is being splendidly handled by the Executive Board and the chair- man appointed for the day. You will have a good time. Don't miss it! This week's bouquet goes to Mr. Arthur B. Phelps and his splendid committee of faculty and students for the excellent job in connection with the observance of our Silver Anniver- sary.

Bear Day Honors Taken By Freshmen Last Friday at Riverside saw the end of all competition between the freshmen and the sopho- mores to determine which were the better men with the fresh- men leading 14,356 to the sopho- mores' '8,100. The final totals were attained through activities on Bear Day proper. The freshmen took the 1,000 point each gains from the soft- ball, soccer, and basketball games played Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday res- pectively of last week. This put the point total for Pre-Bear Day events at 6,850 for the freshmen and 6,150 for the sophomores. Bear Day activities include swimming, races, diving, pie eating, and tug-o'-war. Swimming awards went to the follow- ing: Lipow, S, first and Hallman, F, sec- ond in the men's 50 yard dash, Sawyer, F, first and Berridge, S, second in the women's 50 yard dashg Hallman, F, first in the men's 50 yard backstrokeg and Wilkinson, F, first and Hallman, F, sec- ond in the men's 50 yard breaststroke. The freshmen took the relay race with participants Hallman, Niles, Wilkinson, Boedecker, Salyards, and Sawyer. ln the women's diving contest Salyards, F, won first and Heflin, F, won second. Pulis, F, took first in the men's diving contest and Wilkinson, F, took second. Total points gained in these contests were 3,500 for the freshmen and 1,000 for the sopho- mores. Jagger, S, out-ate Salyards, F, in the women's pie eating contest, and Hallman, F, took first over Faulkner, F, in the men's. For these the freshmen were awarded 500 points and the sophomores likewise.

Leezer and Heflin won the sack race for the freshmen at 500 points and Allstrom andiBerry, both F, took first and second in the peanut race for 500. Page 102 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS '-ETME'-'VE Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College 'O Member Associated Collegiate Press THE CASE FOR WORLD SECURITY The San Francisco World Security Conference has taken a place of prime importance in the news recently. The need for world securi- ty has been clearly set forth in the article The Case for World Securi- ty appearing in the New Republic. A summary of this article follows. The League of Nations, the first attempt at world organization, failed for several reasons. There was no provision made for the use of force against aggression. The early decisions of the League were clouded by fear of Russia's rising power and her new ideology. The League soon became a political instrument of several of the great pow- ers. A strong factor was America's refusal to take a part in the League of Nations. To be really effective this new world organization must have force with its justice. Probably the greatest defect in the Dumbar- ton Oaks plan is the provision that no economic, financial, military or other sanctions can be applied to any of the great powers without the unanimous consent of all the great powers. However, it is at least a start, and perhaps later it will be modified so that no great power can veto the use of sanctions against itself. For a world organization for peace to be successful the world must not be divided against itself. The fascists saw the mutual hos- tility and distrust between the western capitalists and the Soviet com- munists, and seized their chance. j Those who hate and fear the United Nations still hope that they can split the Anglo-American world from the Soviet world. However, now in l945 the two halves of the United Nations world have been working and fighting together for four years. Not only have they co-operated in fighting a common enemy, but they have co-operated in diplomatic conferences looking toward a more peaceful world. The world security organization will undoubtedly start as an al- liance of great powers. However, it must not be allowed to end that way. lt must be pushed on until the strength of the great powers become the fulcrum of an effective world will, but within that world- will the very strength that makes a world organization is curbed by it, and the desires of the smaller nations become an organic part of the whole. There were two dangers to be- faced in drawing up a blueprint for world security. The first was that the Big Three would not agree at all, and the second was that they would agree too well. The former would be anarchy, and the later would be tyranny. The essence of a state is that the force of the government should finally be so complete- ly knit into the mores of the community that the state eventually be- comes a way of checking the very governmental power which formed the starting point. The Dumbarton Oaks agreement has two potentialities: ill that the Big Three will view the postwar world as spoils to be divided among the victors, and 125 that a genuine world security organization will be formed. lf we reject Dumbarton Oaks because of the first we will exclude any hope of achieving the second. Which of the two is achieved depends not upon the agreement but what is done with it. This means that we have it in our power to decide whether pow- er politics will be-the outcome of Dumbarton Oaks or not. The fact that there is still friction among greattpowers and that injustices are being imposed upon the smaller peoples does not mean that a world security organization is impossible. lt merely proves that one is nec- essarv. Power Politics is not a cause but a result of the fear which nations have of each other. No progress can be made toward world security until this fear is wiped out.

To these ends the College still gives its un- qualified support. As the semester draws to a close every student is urged to complete his work on the highest possible plane. This is our immediate part in the making of a better world of tomorrow. The calendar of commencement events will be announced soon. These are splendid occasions in the life of the College and each student should plan to attend every possible event. Like Bear Day the College breakfast on Commencement morning is an unusual and delightful occasion. No one should miss it. Other highlights are the assembly in honor of the sopho- mores, baccalaureate service on Sun- day morning at 8:00, and the Com- mencement exercises. Congratulations are due the men and women who were initiated Mon- day evening into Iota Sigma Alpha. This honor fraternity compares favor- ably with the Phi Beta Kappa award on university campuses. In fact, many of this group will in turn receive Phi Beta Kappa honors. This week's bouquet goes to the Executive Board, Dr. Hannelly, and our Bear Day chairman, Herman Lipow, for the very successful Bear Day. A special orchid to Miss Herron who in an emergency did such a fine job of officiating at the basketball game. Bear Day stands as another example of fine school spirit and cooperation. World Security lContinued from page IO2i onel BIimp scores favorably with all our sources of criticism. This British film takes its theme from English David Low's cartoon character, Colonel Blimp, 'who personifies all that is wrong with the British Tory. The milder cinema Blimp is played by Roger Livesey. The New Republic comments, The character has some of the naive gallantry of the old movie comedians like Buster Keaton, and he is played by Live- sey with pure goodness and youthful- ness. As an overall comment the New Re- public reports, lt is conservative in technique and about life, but it is a charming, warmhearted, commendable production, filled with good acting and characterization. The Nation chimes in with There is nothing brilliant about the picture, but it is perceptive, witty, and sweet-tem- pered. Time, too, commends the film saying, Long as it is, 'Blimp' seems short, for it is done with a constant feeling for lightness and for style, and it is wonder- fully well-acted. ' Iota Sigma Alpha Initiates Fourteen Tuesday night at the Encanto Park clubhouse I4 new members of Iota Sigma Alpha, honorary scholastic society, were initiated. Following the initiation, din- ner was served to the new members and alumni. Captain Tooler of the Army Air Forces was guest speaker. Captain Tooler is the holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross with one oak leaf cluster, the Air Medal with eight oak leaf clusters, and the Dis- tinguished Merit Citation. He described aerial warfare in Europe prior to and fol- lowing D-Day. He stressed the impor- tance of continuing our efforts since the war is far from being won. Modern- warfare is based on industrial power. The three great powers, particularly Russia and the United States, are the great in- dustrial powers and, as such, hold the key to world peace. By fusing their war strength they can make an impenetrable shield against agres- sion. Of course the great question now arises as to who will watch the watchmen. The answer must lie in a machinery of world security which is started by the great powers but is institutionalized in the course of time by the rest of the world and can be used if necessity arises even when the aggressor is one of the crucial initiators of the organization. All hope of world security will be futile unless the United States throws all her strength behind the organization. Thus America is a decisive element in the world's future. The yearly day of delight has went the way of all days. lt's gone. But who will challenge the statement that it was fun while it lasted? And it seemed to last longer this year than last-such good fun was being dispersed that no one wanted to leave. Max Ward ISkinhead to youi, being chairman of the Cleanup Committee, had to forcefully evict strag- lers, of which there were quite a few. Skinhead spent 'the day lounging behind the coke counter in his usual inimitable manner, almost as cheerfully as the life- guards sweating out their tour of duty. ONLY ONE REAL MISHAP OF THE DAY happened when Glenna Pratt was tossed in, levis and all. Because such a thing was taboo we wouldn't peach on the non-conformers. Don't worry, J. L. and Louie, we won't squeal on yallll We're democratic. Those mysterious two were also the two who threw in Car- ter and Wade with encumbering articles also wrapped about them. THE TOP AND THE SLIDE were the main attractions. Mingled with Sawyer's screams and Berry's bellows were various other types of hoots and hollars-several burns resulted from the slide, but no casualtys were reported from topside. Miss Herron dashed merrily back and forth with the First Aid kit, but so far as is known it stayed shut. We're such a well-behaved crowd. . WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRICK' diving? Eagerly anticipating the coming chuckles we hied to a ringside seat. No soap. No dives. Travaini was all dressed in a gunnysack ready for his flop but he disappeared into thin air. We was robbed. THE VARIOUS AFTER-DINNER races were.hilarious. Louie and J. L. seemed to be first in sack, spider, monkey, and wheelbarrow races. Tell me, is that significant to you? It is to us--if you get what we mean+ah, to be versatile. That's the only reason they rate such publicity. SPEAKING OF PUBLICITY, those that seem to us should rate as star performers were Vic Pulis, dives, and Al Zeitlin, breaststroke. That breaststroke was an innovation-like a porpoise in puissant pain. It was also marvelous to note the lack of direction or equilibrium the racers had-some swimming parallel and others perpendicular. iPlease note-We have not mentioned the final outcome of the Bear Day con- test between classes nor the pie eating contest.-N.

A. Noble of the Salvation Army, spoke about the problems of India. Mr. Stewart stressed the importance of the abolition of hunger and the ugly prejudices which have taken root in a large part of the human race. The Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Stone, sang My Own America, and the V-E day program was closed by Dr. Laird giving the invocation. A bird's-eye view of lnclia and a dis- cussion of the political aspects of India wlere given by Dr. Noble. He stressed the great medical problem existing in that country-and the urgent need for more doctors and nurses.

While our student body was engrossed in French Revolutions, social aid to the blind, English themes, philosophy reactions, and math prob- lems, the European war has slowly ended, and the Pacific war has suddenly gained momentum. A great president has died, ,a new president has been installed. Allied policies have crystallized into a plan for permanent peace even now being discussed by those nations. ln J. C. important steps forward have been realized. A temporary student union, marking a new era in student government is the most important of the social advances. We have seen the 25th anni- versary of our college, we are saying goodbye to our oldest teacher who has been here since nearly the foundation of the school. We have watched a great number of boys we were in class with for a few weeks or a few months leave suddenly for the armed forces. We have relaxed a little as we saw those who were through with their training, and the job following it, come back and start to school again. We have seen many things this year, but, more important to us are the things we hope to see. We hope to see the termination of the Pacific war, the success of the San Francisco conference and the conferences to follow it, and a cessation of declared and undeclared wars, We hope to see the horrors of this total war so impressed upon all peoples of the world that they will not be precipitated into another. We hope to see our ulti- mate victory serve as an impetus to the building of a world based on a more intelligent concept of the obligations of nations and less on the maintenance of, world order by brute force. For J. C. the future is bright. We have a permanent student union to work for, possibilities of enlarged recreational facilities will come with the end of the war. We can look forward to a great increase in the enrollment of both men and women. Bear Tracks has maintained a policy of keeping abreast of these his- torically momentous changes in the world as well as informing the student body of its own affairs. Perhaps some may think we have given too much attention to the intellect, and, in doing so, have los't some student interest. These characteristics, though, are those which shall maintain this paper as an intelligent sheet for well-informed students. We intend to continue this policy into next year.

Then on top of that we have a singer righteously extolling the glories of Sylvia and a whole bunch of them chasing a Little Brown Bird by some river. You know, I like to go to church and watch the choir-or for that mat- ter any group of singers. The ones with music sheets in their hands are the best. They hold them with out- spread fingers, very tenderly, like a precious plate which they don't know what to do with. When page-turn- ing time comes-ah, then-some snap them over, some turn them slowly, some turn and swing them up and down once, but they all lift their heads rapturously and give heaven and the audience a soulful, engrossed look, The ones without music must do something with their hands. Usually this is pretty well decided upon, and there are invariably two or three non- conformers who put them at when they should be behind versa. There are bored singers along as if they were eating a piece of stringy meat, there are happy singers whose eyes dance all over the audience to find a corresponding hap- piness. And then, of course, there are the mournful, rapt singers with flexible eyebrows and expressive faces who try to put over the sadness or ecstacy of the song as if they were talk- ing to you personally. These are fun to watch. the side or vice- who go tasteless Then there are the swayers who keep time with their shoulders and make a complete survey of the audience and the auditorium. The head bobbers, usually men, are an interesting species. This characteristic is usually accom- panied by a fierce expression around the eyebrows, a protruding lower jaw, and, in some cases, a bald head. In the movies, when some one is being sung to-I realize this is a hard job and one of the advantages of being a member of a big audience-it is fun to watch the silly expressions the sung- to person gets on his face. He fol- lows the notes around with his head as though he were trying to catch them like soap bubbles out of a pipe. But how should they look when they sing? I don't know, l can't even sing.

Laird retires this year!!! The oldest teacher in point of service, Daddy Laird has been on the J. C. Faculty for 23 of its 25 years. Other than the years spent here, he has taught I8 years in teacher's col- leges, and has spent the rest of his life teaching in secondary schools and in going to school himself. Dr. Laird was born in Oswego, Kansas, and lived there one year before moving with his parents to Preble County, Ohio, where he lived for I2 years. Once again the family moved, this time to Kokomo, Indiana, the state in which he was to spend over half of his life. ln Galveston, Indiana, he attended grammar and high school. By entering the State Teachers' College at Terra Haute, Indiana, he demonstrated an early desire to be a teacher. After graduating with the class of 1897, he taught in two country schools, was principal of a high school, and became for a year an instruc- tor in history and psychology in the Teach- ers' College at Marion, Indiana. Entering the University of Indiana, he obtained an A.B. degree in l900, majoring in philo- sophy. Marries Daisy E. Lowder Dr. Laird then returned to Marion with his new wife, the former Daisy E. Lowder, whom he had met and married at the U. At Marion he taught history and literature for 6 years, then entered Harvard Col- lege. He spent one year in the Graduate School studying history and political eco- nomy. In i907 he became vice-president of the Central Teachers College in Dan- ville, lndiana, which post he held for three years, leaving it only to become president of the institution for 7 years. Comes to Arizona in 1917 In l9l7 he came to Arizona as a result of the poor health of a daughter. From l9l7 to i922 he held the position of superintendent of schools at Wilcox, Ariz- ona. Then he came to J.C. as teacher of Sociology and Political Economy. He was dean for 2 years, then teacher of his- tory and government, and, finally, Direc- tor of Philosophy and Psychology. During the time spend in Arizona, he attended Colorado University for five summers where he received the A.M. degree in American History. He also received an LL.D. lhonoraryl degree in I938 from '5-2 DR. JOHN W. LAIRD Central Teachers' College in Danville, lnd- iana. Daddy Laird has two daughters and four grandchildren, the oldest of whom now attends NPHS. ' Teaches Through Three- Wars Dr. Laird considers the greatest trage- dies of his teaching years to be the three wars during which he has taught: the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. He says emphatically that this is to be the last war in which he will have to teach, and, he hopes, in which he will have to live. Even the advent of a second World War after his firm conviction that the first was the last one has not dampened his faith in young people and in the world. To Camp and Fish From Now On When asked by this reporter what he intended to do with his leisure time, Daddy Laird looked a little worried and said, Why, I don't really have any plans after teaching for nearly 50 yearsg I won't know what to do. Then he smiled and said he hoped to catch up on his fishing and camping, and until he could do that, he would do a lot of gardening and fol- low his new hobby of painting the birds he has always studied. I am a par! gf' all that I fzafve met His first picture-Daddy Laird at the age of 3 at West Manches- 1' er, Ohio. l Summer of l898, he is studing biology at Winowna Lake, ln- diana.

He Taught More Than Subject Matter . . . After nearly half a century of service in the education of youth, Dr. John W. Laird is retiring, from the educational profession at the close of this school year. For a part of that long period of faithful service he was President c-f the Central Teachers College at Danville, Indiana. He has been on the staff of the Phoenix Junior College for twenty-three years. His spirit of friendly coopera- tion and his sympathetic under- standing of young people endear- ed him to all. He taught more than subject-matter,-he taught youth. Daddy Laird , as he has been affectionately known among the students for more than two decades, will be long remembered by the students and alumni of the Phoenix Junior College.

These officers will live up to the high standards which have been set by their prede- cessors. The executive board per- forms a very important role in the life of the college. The schedule for final exams has been posted. A final exam represents an attempt to bring together the work of the course and is not something tacked on to harrass the student but to give him an opportunity to organize the work of the semester into a more nearly unitary concept. Take them in your stride and try to benefit from this re-view of the work of the semester. Every member of the college family extends his best wishes to Dr. Laird as he retires from active teaching. The oft-quoted expression from Chaucer and gladly wolde he Ierne, and glad- ly teche has been the essence of Dr. Laird's long and successful career in education. Much of Dr. Laird's pro- fessional life has been given to our college. Such an investment assures us that he shall never lose interest in the progress of the college and in the success of each individual who passes through its halls. Speaking for my- self, it has been a high privilege to have worked with Dr. Laird and to have frequently been his companion on hunting and fishing expeditions. These latter pleasures I shall continue to enjoy. LET ME LIVE fContinued from page l08J sign of the deep and marked education of the wearer.

Judy Garland, according to Time, brings her budding dramatic talents into unmis- takable bloom. Robert Walker gains an honest, touching dignity in place of the shucks-fellers cuteness he has seemed doomed to. The New Yorker says of the plot of course, all this has familiar aspects, but l don't think it is without poignancy. Time's concluding overall comment is 'The Clock' is a pleasant, well-told romance rather than the great, true pic- ture it might have been: but few films in recent years have managed so movingly to combine first grade-truth and second- grade fiction. Budget Set For Next Year The Executive Board held its final meeting last Thursday to discuss the in- cidentals budget for the school year i945- 46, Some of the items included were: Associated Students ................ Sl,083.00 Associated Men Students ........ l35.00 Associated Women Students .... S 300.00 Bear Tracks ............................ Sl,702.00 Annual Supplement ...... ....... l 92.00 Mask and Dagger ...... ....... 2 ll.00 Broadcasting ................ ....... l l5.00 Social and Incidental .............. lO0.00 Student Union .............. ....... l 80.00 Cleaning and Upkeep .............. 50.00 Many other items such as athletics, band, glee club, health service, and speech activities are included. Prominent Men Leave Campus Three prominent men students have left the campus during the past few weeks to join the armed services. They are Clayton Niles, who left for San Diego to take the Navy's radar course: Bill Berry, who also left to join the Navy: and Vic Pulis, who left for India as a member of the American Red Cross Air Evacuation Corps. Les Metzger Elected Student Union Manager Les Metzger was elected Manager of the Student Union, by a quorum of the Executive Board, Tuesday May l5 to serve for the rest of this school year. He replaces Bill Berry who has gone into the service. Wescott in Apartment in Athens ' has written a psychological study of an ordinary Greek family in the throes of war, and the effect of one German officer on all of their lives. ln Captain Kalter, Wescott presents, not a picture of the German race, but the tyranny of this German whose influence warped and twisted the lives and spirits of the family with whom he was billeted. ln spite of the fact that it tends to be somewhat dull at times, Apartment in Athens is well worth reading from the standpoint of its psychological and philo- sophical contents, and will probably be one of the lasting books of this war. The theme of it can well be summed up in the words of the simple Greek, Helianos, who said before his execution, lt is something for us to beware of: the good moods of Germans, their sudden reforming and seeking to please, the natural changes of their hearts . . . be- cause they mislead us. -M.L.S.
