ETA CHI EPSILON Thursday, October 5, Eta Chi Epsilon members met with a new sponsor, Miss Stevens, to plan this year's program. ln anticipation of a very active and inter- esting year the program committee will meet Friday, October I3, at the home of Miss Stevens to plan the activities of the year, ,...o. THETA CHI DELTA Theta met with their sponsor, Miss Campbell, during the activity period Mon- day, October 2, to study the Inter-Society Constitution. The favorite topic of con- versation of this small group is, Whom shall we rush? 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.

Vic Pulls Faculty Adviser ......... ......... J ames l. Stewart Mr. Cook Reminisces On Good Old Days Don't be a kitten. 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.

I I I BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page I7 That Ole Black Magic Lookout! wherever you are. 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. S. will be held at .the Cherry Ho, on North Seventh Street tonight from 8:30 to l2:00. Following the hayrack ride there wiIl,be dancing at the Cherry Ho and refreshments will be served. Bill Bridgewater is in charge of the party. ON THE SPOT lWe adopt this title with due apology and thanks to a Bear Tracks columnist of 'I938-39.l The rift in the President's cabinet brought about by Morgenth'au's excla- mations on the future foreign policy of reducing Germany to an agricultural stooge, truly warrants a bit of ruffled concern. 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? About the library--Can it be that commotion is sometimes aggravated by the spasmodic evidence of a strict policy? ' R. A. .-.i..iO COMING EVENTS Next Tuesday, October l7, from 3:00 to 5:00, the Associated Women Stu- dents will hold their first birthday party in the club room. This party will be for all the girls whose birthdays are during October and April. .,...O...1. Every student should be in his or her own seat in assembly. It will be considered a cut if he comes in late or leaves dur- ing the program . The day after assembly, Miss Miller will have published a list of tardies on the bulletin board. Every student should check this list and also the list of seats assigned for assembly. The assembly is a regular shool ac- tivity and all students and faculty should attend.

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.

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.
