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.

F E U D lContinued From Page ll Dean Wyman: Because of the best joke. Not that I am the best joke on the ca'mpus, but because I will have the best ioke. Arthur Phelps: Why? Why, just nat- urally!. 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. Amaz- ing how settled things can become in a week or two, isn't it? Still just a mite too formal to suit us, though.. But all dis- appears with time, we're told. Shouldn't be long before everyone knows every- one's first name, funny thing, but not even one soul has approached us for a loan yet. What's this world coming to? COULD BE THE WAR, COULD BE FEAR of inflation, but people seem chary of placing their nickles in Geraldine fthat's the juke boxl this year. Everyone has gone to her with such faith in the past, but maybe that too will be over- come in the loosening-up process. We have hopes. WE HAVE SEEN FELLOWS out scrim- maging on the field. Does that indicate that maybe we will have a few games this year? And how about the Coffee Hour? When does that begin again? Are the social commissioners planning any Friday afternoon mixers? Maybe it's early to organize those events, and maybe it's not. For us, it's the sooner the better. What is Life without Living? THE AWS IS HAVING A BRAWL to- night at the woman's club, with all women to attend. They're usually fun, invited too. So all you femmes better turn out force. Just another attempt to in full start the ball rolling and to acquaint people with people. We'll see you there, at the refreshment table.
