Illlll an VOL. I7 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SEPTEMBER 22, I944 NO. l SWEEPS CAMPUS The feud is onl The battle has begun! 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.
