BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page l3 THE DEAN'S OFFICE Junior College will run evening classes starting in the near future at a downtown location for the conven- ience of the students. 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. They are as follows: Standing, left to right, French, Thurman, Glass, Kayhill, Case, Thomas, White, Roclarte, Murphy, Clarence, Ross, Hinkle, Lauer, Godsell, Miller, Sauls, Smith, Maneth. Second row seated, left to right, Antone, Johnson, Aguilar, Gutierrez, Holmgren, Schurz. First row seated, left to right, Endfield, Cavanaugh, Sargent, Hext, Ferguson, Baptiste, Ellis, Wade. These two had a good time by the looks of things. Helen Karis and Dora, or is it, yes, no, yes it is, Dora Kline. Oh well. It must have been a hot tune. In the back- ground Barbara Ryan seems to be playing out, but Stella Stewart still has her wim and wigor . .iL0 MASQUE AND DAGGER ci-looses orricens Masque and Dagger, college dramatic society, met Wednesday, September 27, and elected officers, which are as follows: Mary Lou Lindstrom, winner of a dra- matics award last year, president, Pat Haire, vice-president, Genay Schoeny, secretary, Phyllis Barabe, treasurer, Mary Jo deRouIhac, pledge mistress, and Bill Bridgewater, sergeant-at-arms. 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.

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. And we'Il be one . . . See ya then. H.A.A.S.U. THIS WEEK'S EDITORIAL BOARD Editor ............................................ Elizabeth Land Editorial Staff.. ....,.............,.....

Page I4 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE They said it was a dance contest. Navaio or Apache, l don't know what kind it was, but grand champions were Rosemary An- non and Phyllis Barabe. Pat Haire gives out with the prizes. 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. Rosemary Jagger filled the punch bowl at least ten times. Beverly Erhardt points out to a customer that it is good punch . Helen Ong and Lula Barnes pass out a drink to Virginia Harvey.
