Left to right, they are Mike Welnick, Esther Boedccker, Mary Carolyn Steadman, Les Metzger, and Don Landy. Freshmen are Don Olliver, Grace Hoggan, Wayne Mac- donald, Jean Pearson, and Robert Hirsch. The Sophomore Class meeting on Fri- day in the Blue and Gold room accom- plished two purposes: Elections were held and the responsibility for plans for the sophomore picnic was bestowed on the newly elected officers. President Les Metzger shouldered the responsibility which will be duly portioned out among Vice-President Mike Welnick, Secretary Mary Carolyn Steadman, and unanimously elected Treasurer Esther Boedecker. Don Landy was named sopho- more representative to the Executive Board. Elections for representatives to service clubs resulted in Jerry l-lowell's land- sliding into the position of Junior Rotarian and Dario Travaini's being privileged to eat once a week with the Exchange Club. -E. S. B. Voice Teacher Featured in Assembly Mr. Kenneth Hakes, new voice teacher at PJC, was the featured vocalist at the first assembly of the year held Tuesday in the auditorium.

B. l I I I An unanimous ballot elected Wayne Macdonald president of the Freshman class. Carrying the vice-presidency was Grace Hoggan, whose past record reveals varied and extensive administrative ex- perience. Jean Pearson, who had held four presidencies while in high school, was elected to the position of secretary. The office of treasurer was received by Robert Hirsch. Robert Olliver, an out- standing athlete, will be the class repre- sentative to the Executive Board. -E. S. B. Femininity Flocks to FilIy's Frolic AWS campus life begins with a loud neigh, a jingle of spurs, and a hitching up of the jeans as the Filly's Frolic gets underway in the gym at 7:30 on Friday, September 28. The party, annually given by the As- sociated Women Students in honor of all new girls, was planned at a meeting of the Honor Board and AWS officers. President Vivian English appointed the following committee chairman: Decorations, Helen Lindy Refreshments, Betty Foskett, En- tertainment, Mary Carolyn Steadmanj and Advertising, Barbara Major. A western theme will be held up by range and bunkhouse decorations, and plans are being macle for Mr. Bud Brown to furnish atmosphere. -E. S. B. O Sophomores: Graduation Petitions Must be in Oct. 'l. Dance in B. 81 G. Room To Follow Picnic Hear ye..and attend, for tonight is it! At 5:45 this afternoon the sophomores honor freshmen, new students, and faculty at an in- formal picnic at the east side of the gymnasium. This affair will herald the beginning of social life at J. C. Feature attraction will be a talent pro- gram conducted by Les Metzger, sopho- more class president. The more talented members of the freshmen class will turn their hand to entertaining with songs and dances. All decisions of the judges will be final, and winners will be presented with gift certificates for phonograph records to be purchased at a local music store. In addition to other games, Dario Trav- aini, game committeeman, promises plenty of fun for everyone in a pouring the water race. A picnic supper, guaranteed to fill to capacity with free sandwiches and pop, will follow the contest. When the men feel strong again, the party will adjourn to a dance held in the Blue and Gold Room from 6:30 to 9:00. The orches- tras featured will be varied and multu- dinous. Chairmen of committees in charge of arrangements are as follows: entertain- ment, Les Metzger and Mr. Stewart: food and serving, Esther Boedecker, Mary Carolyn Steadman, Barbara Best, Helen Lind, Maryan Chambers, Vivian English, and Mrs. Motto: prizes, Mary Carolyn Steadman, competitive recreation, Dario Travaini and Steve Lampropoulosg judges, Jackie Salyards, Barbara Best, and Steve Lampropoulos, and dance arrangements, Les Metzger and Dario Travaini. -D. K. International Policies to be Discussed Dr. Robert Allen, president of the Phoenix chapter of the Foreign Policy Association, will speak in the assembly Tuesday. He will choose some aspect of international problems for his subject, -Page 2 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE EAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press em Piamhmwz: We, the sophomores, welcome you to J. C. May we tell you some of the necessities of adaptation? No doubt you are a little confused at this stage by the fact that while you seem to be so much your own Boss, at the same time you are expected to get much work done-on time! You are told that your time in school is your own, and'that you needn't account for it to any- one. There is no catch to this, as you'll find. lt is assumed by your professors that you are old enough to know what you are doing and that you will do it the best you can. This has proved to be sound psychology. You are shown a cafeteria which is open for use as long as anyone cares to stay at school. The gymnasium allows you to play any game at any time you so desire. When the weather is cooler, it's unusual not to hear howls from the gym and surroundings announcing the violent progress of a sharp game of something. You have a Student Union, of which we sophomores are inordin- ately proud, to dance and just to sit in. The Union is very new, having begun at the first of last year with a HAASU innocuously ending a weekly column. HAASU, finally explained, was How about a Student Union? By December the idea was being turned over in many minds, and by the last of February the Union was a reality. The as yet unnamed Union is already a warmly appreciated spot by the looks of things. incidentally, we are still campaigning for a name. Any ideas? A Reading Room upstairs in the L. A. buildingvcan furnish you with a cool place to read some of the newest in fiction and non-fiction. The Blue and Gold room used to see many a heavy jam session and probably will see more if you're in the mood. The Club Room is a beautiful room open to clubs and other groups by requisition for enter- taining and parties. To be exact, the only drawback and liability to J. C. is the work you are expected to accomplish. You will find the mental labor expected of you, and demanded of you, will probably be far in excess of what you may want to do. This may throw you at first, but, before you realize you are exerting yourself, you are turning out college standard work. You will find the subjects here much different from those taught in high school. Then you were supposed to master facts and be able to have them at your command. Here, the facts are only a means to an end, you learn the significance of the facts, the why and the how of them. This will try you no little, and after some time you sadly realize that you are able to Think. Q Great things have happened during this last year, The events that will take place during this year may not be so momentous, but they will iust as surely take their place in the building of a durable. peace. We in college may not seem to have much to do with all this, but. we soon will be actively engaged in trying to keep this peace. Remember that, won't you, when vou want to wash your hands of that class and buzz off somewhere to forget it all? D K Dora M. Kline, prominent sophomore, will be the Editor-in-Chief of Bear Tracks this year, Mr. Stewart, the sponsor, an- nounced a short time ago. In addition to her work on the staff of -Bear Tracks during her Freshman year, Dora was Social Commissioner, a member of the Spanish club, and the A. W. S. representative to the Executive Board, Mr. Phelps tells this one on Mr. Hoff of the Astronomy Department: A dis- tinguished scientist was observing the heavens through the huge telescope. Sud- denly he announced it's going to rain. What makes you think so? asked the guide. Because, said the astronomer, still peering through the telescope, my corns hurt. REMEMBER WHEN? While the very first thought of all at the close of last semester was to sleep and loaf around as much as possible, most of the '45 class and faculty found that all play and no work leads to a her- mit's life. Sooner or later, they were showing the businessmen they could add two and two and how to pound out a tune on the old typewriter and pieces of sheet metal. Upon getting acquainted with our allies and the axis, Arlene Mathew worked out at Papago along side four German prison- ers in the Post Engineers Department. For a vacation she took a short trip to Mexico ,,.Proofreading laws made up by the l7th State Legislature took up most of Dorothy Fannin's time this summer. Said she, Millions of mistakes . . . One of our many new discharged veterans at- tending J. C. under the G. I. Bill of Rights this year is Lyda Branhan. She was a yeoman in the WAVES, stationed near San Francisco. Lyda said it was an ex- perience no woman should have missed. A lot of 'rough stuff' but taught the girls a lot about equality and democratic liv- ing . . . Our student body president, Harlin Cook, was general flunkie for a local typewriter firm. He alternated be- tween the bookkeeping and mechanical ends. He then went to Louisiana because he heard mosquitos were as big as horse- flies there. To get there, he had to pass over 2000 miles of Texas. . . Steve Lam- propoulos worked for about two weeks and then, to get over the strain, went over to the coast for a hilarious ten days.

At Lowery Field in Denver she proudly saw a nephew graduate. As if this weren't enough, she took off for San Francisco to let the cool breezes play. Not able to resist our winter climate, she's back again ready to manage the girls' hockey team and what not. . Coach Hoy was deep in the Arizona desert at the Rivers Relocation Center slaving away in the Statistical Department... Two of our renowned explorers, the Misses Hunter and Hub- bard, went on a trip down south to Guat- emala and El Salvador. As expected, they had a fine time visiting a friend in the Embassey at San Salvador where they were entertained royally. Much of life there is spent outdoors or in patios. A lot of this is the result of poverty, but more so because of mere love of nature. Miss Hunter even saw barbers cutting hair along the highways! In contrast to Amer- ican students, students down there take a keen interest in politics. For example, students last May revolted in the schools, which indirectly caused a national revolu- tion...

Smel- ser, Newnam and Hannelly wised up students at Tempe, while Stewart and Stone kept the fires burning at J. C .... Mr. Phelps of the Chemistry Department has been a criminal investigator during the past few summers. This year he worked exclusively with the OPA, investi- gating the dreaded black market and price ceilings. Mr. Phelps found many instances where goat meat and horse meat were being mixed with beef to be sold as hamburger. in other instances he found whole slabs of beef hanging in refrigerators of restaurants and such with apparently no owner. Upon questioning, the manager would merely say that Charlie brought it in to chill for awhile. ...There were jobs for all and lotsa money this past summer. What happy memories! Now, with little money and strong resolutions to get straight 'A's', the Mary's and Joe's begin beating anew the paths on the summer grass of the campus. -V. H. During the first of the morning it wasn't so bad. We were a little jarred by the maze of stuff given to us, but we started plowing hopefully through. Well . . . Here we were, completely exhausted. We could hardly lift our heads to smile at the camera, but soon we gathered ourselves and our weary spirits and plodded back. BEAR TRACKS--PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE 'Page 3 LET ME LIVE I Wonder- That so many freshmen do survive ma- triculation and registration. lt seems to me that the whole proceeding and succeeding processes of the same are like a horseback ride-no, two horse- back rides in two days. You feel the pain, but when it is over you have for- gotten the greater part of it until you try it again-then it all comes back, intensified because you have done it before. And yet I can see why we cannot remem- ber our first impressions. A snatch here and there remains, but the real picture does not. So many things which first struck us as strange become a part of us, attached to us by memor- ies connected with them. The fresh- men will not remember the first long blistering in the patio where they waited in a never-ending line that first morning. The strange' cold grey-white of the office filled with unknowns, the barred windowewhat for? The desks -to whom do they belong? The next office barely seen, the switchboard, all the strangeness will be forgotten after many visits to straighten out courses and cuts, to finance the school at the barred window, and to explain your- self to the dean. The impersonal row of cars will take' on the aspect of a smoker or bull session room. Each classroom will become a thing sym- bolic of enjoyment or fear. In retro- spect these will be found alone in memory. Like the first impression of it, you will find that all of it cannot be remembered-things will not stay the same, and what you found at one time, you will never be able to find again. What parents think as they drive their offspring up our dusty bumpy road iwhich, by the way should be filled in, I think, perhaps as a Freshman gift to Sophomoresi to J. C. I wonder if they and the passenger think this is merely a continuation of highschoolg an added year or two of high school courses, per- haps a little harder, designed to put off Junior's going off into the world. It isn't.' If you will allow it, J. C. can change your whole outlook. This is not a machine that turns out students with heads full of facts alone-that is, if the students will listen and learn. The Freshmen English course teaches you things about your language that will start you on the way'to being an understanding reader and listener. You can become, instead of a machine at Registration Zooms The Registrar's Office announced on Monday a total registration of 383 stu- dents, 29l of whom are freshmen and 90 of whom are sophomores. ln addition, 58 Cadet Nurses from the Saint Monica Hos- pital will enroll during this week. Of the 383, 26 are veterans, one a former WAC, and are going to school under the GI Bill of Rights. The 230 women will be pleased to know that there are ISI men, a consider- able increase over the 60 in attendance at the end of last year. There are I34 freshmen boys and l57 freshmen girls. The sophomores didn't do so well, hav- ing 74 sophomore girls and but I7 sophomore boys. ' ' Ol J. C. To Be Host for Track Meet Coach Hoy, vice-president of the South- west region ofthe National Junior College Athletic Association, has announced that the National Junior College Track Meet will be held here in Phoenix under the sponsorship of'P. J. C. The meet will be held on May 25 and will consist of a qualification run in the afternoon and finals in the evening. At least 30 junior colleges are expected to be represented, and it is believed that J. C. will enter many contestants. Phoenix was selected because of its climate and its central location, stated Dutch, and it is hoped that this may become an annual affair. It will probably be necessary to call upon the whole stu- dent body to help assure success. the command of others, a thinking being in command of yourself and your -thoughts. You will be able to find things within your own mind of which you were never before conscious. You will be able to kncw others better be- cause you will know why they do or think this or that. But this is some- thing that you yourself must discover- no one can tell you the change. It would be like a parent's advice, un- believable until you've found out for yourself. . -G. M. WHAT'S GOOD IN THE MAGAZINES As a special service to thestudent body, Bear Tracks will run a guide to worthwhile ar- ticles appearing in periodical literature. This feature will appear weekly in this space. Willis Church Lamott- What Not to Do With Japan. Bernard De Voto- The Easy Chair. The newspapers have been concerned primarily of late with the occupation of Japan and with what we are to do with her to make her acceptable, according to our standards. What Not to Do with Japan, an article by Willis Church La- mott which appears in the June issue of Harper's sheds a great dealnof light upon the problem. The Reverend Lamott was a missionary in Japan for nineteen years and he is probably in a position tohunderstand the character of the Japanese people. The plan which Reverend Lamott has for the re-education of the people of Japan de- serves careful consideration, since, upon the outcome of what we do in Japan now, hinges possible war or peace in the future. Another article of special interest at the ilgfgime is the August edition of The Easy ,xChair, by Bernard De- Voto which also appears in Harper's. In this issue Mr. De Voto deals with the expulsion of Dr. Rainey from his position as president of the University of Texas. Dr. Rainey was fired from his position by a conservative Board of Regentsfor his liberality in general and for his attitude toward Negro education in particular. Mr. De Voto feels that what happened in Texas is far from being an isolated case and that soon such incidents will be oc- curring in all places where a liberal faculty dares to teach things which would en- danger the position of those who hold political control over the school.

Filly's Frolic Tonight At Coed Party Gym to be Scene of Western Play-dance at 7:30 Tonight the AWS will entertain the women students of JC with a Filly's Frolic in the old western manner in the gym at 7:30. This affair is the annual co-ed party. AWS President Vivian English has promised contests in which undiscovered iitterbugs and unknown waltz-queens shall shine, and square dancing called by Mr. F. V. Brown of North High will furn- ish amusement for all. flt is requested that those who ride horses to the dance leave them outside.i Music will be made by Mr. Brown sing- ing some of his ancient cowboy songs, by some of his best records, and by records brought by students. The gym will be decorated with sym- bols of the range and the bunkhouse, and the western garb of the dancers will add to the atmosphere. Those in levis and huge plaid shirts will be the best dressed, but pinafores and ginghams will not be thrown out. Cider and doughnuts will be served by the Refreshment Committee headed by Betty Foskett. Hostesses for the even- ing will be AWS Officers Vivian English, Maryan Chambers, Helen Lind, and Bar- bara Major, members of the Honor Board Betty Foskett, Dora Kline, Vivian English, Mary Carolyn Steadman, Esther Boe- decker, Patricia Parker, Emma Jean Foord, Sylvia Furst, Norma Metcalf, and Barbara Best: and AWS Freshman Repre- sentatives Pat Lindsay, Alice Melby, Jayne Reed, and Sara Schwartz. WAA to Elect Managers At the first meeting of the Women's Athletic Association, the student man- agers for archery, golf, and badminton are to be elected. The time of the meet- ing has not been definitely set as yet. Girls wishing to join the WAA can sign up on the bulletin board in the ante- room of Miss Herron's office in the gym. Page 6 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JLJNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press Will Cliques Defeat Social Life at JC? The first social affair at J. C., planned to show the students what really fine people the other stu- dents are, was notable in its fail- ure to accomplish any such feat. The only time any mixing was really done by pre-arranged groups was during the one game which everyone played. This un- fortunate missing of the mark was obviously not the fault of the officers who arranged the picnic, but that of most of the students. During the eating and dancing, groups could be seen huddling self-consciously here and there, eyeing one another with well-con- cealed wistfulness. Boys, clump- ed defensively together, were aloofly immune to herds of girls who were behaving exactly the same. Despite the efforts of the better informed sophomore men, who tried their best to dance with everyone and to get others to do the same, most of the scanty male population of J. C. could be found on the lawn outside the Blue and Gold Room, or lurking on the threshold, brashly timorous, and ready to flee. As a result of this odd behavior, perhaps almost a third of the supposed-to-be-happy gang danced once during the en- tire evening. We say this behavior is odd be- cause J. C.fs campus has seen so little of it during the years it has been in existence. We are the student body of a small college. Granted, we have the largest freshman class we have seen in a long time, and many of you have your own friends and cliques from high school. Maybe you haven't heard, but cliques are considered very bad form on this campus, ln past years they have been smo- thered by their own weight with- in a few weeks after the beginning of the school year. Never, though, have we been faced with such a formidable case of we-have-our- own-lives, J. C. doesn't-need-to- be-more-than-the-hours-we-actu- ally-spend-here. The sopho- mores who had looked forward to this year as a bigger and better version of last year find their hopes sadly dashed by the self sufficient little freshmen running around in fives and sixes with a hands off attitude. This is more unfortunate for the fresh- men than for the pained sopho- mores, for the freshmen will con- tinue with their high school atti- tudes of snobbishness and suspi- cion of strangers. There will be more parties like this, and some dances where stags are more numerous than couples. We hope that by that time there will be slightly wiser students attending. -D. K. Library Stock Going Up The library, operated by Mrs. Bernice Trevillian with the help of Mrs. Wilma Heisser and four student assistants, is open from 7:50 until 4:30 every school day and from 9 until l2 on Saturdays, The functions of the library will be ex- plained to freshman English classes. Subscriptions to l35 magazines are taken by the library and several news- papers are received, including the Sunday New York Times. The library is being used more this year than any time in recent years due to more and possibly more earnest stu- also dents, said Mrs. Trevillian. She suggested that perhaps additional tables and chairs might be provided as a result of this increase. lt's Only the Band To those of you who heard a terrific din emanating from the Blue 81 Gold Room last Thursday, we wish to say that it was only the new JC band getting in tune! Under the leadership of Mr. Hakes, ambitious plans for the band, are being made. The present membership includes Florence Boyer and Charlie Shoup, trom- bone, Jim Tabor, Pat Parker and Joan Winters, clarinet, Melvin Carter, Naomi Starit and Barbara Somervell, trumpet, David Ray and Rose McFee, drums, and Georgie Looney, baritone. Anyone who is interested in joining should see Mr. Hakes. Rehearsals are, for the present, being held during fourth period on Thursdays. Social Clubs Plan and Elect The five social clubs at Junior College have been busy this last week with elec- tions of new officers and plans for com- ing social events. KDN Kappa Delta Nu held its first meeting at the home of the club president, Betty Foskett. Plans for the coming rush party were discussed and appointments to the lnter-Society Council were made. Vir- ginia Harvey and Barbara Fagan were chosen. PHI LAMB Norma Lee Pond, newly-elected presi- dent of Phi Lambea Zeta, announced the other officers for this semester as Pat Parker, Vice-President, Margaret Dud- ley, Secretary, Alice Ryan, Treasurer, Katie Kraft, Junior Representative and Pledge Mistress, Jackie Salyards, Senior Representative, and Emma Jean Foord, Social Commissioner. At a meeting on last Monday a former member, Norma Davidson, presented the group with the traditional five-pound box of candy, and invited the members to. her coming announcement party. Plans for the rush party were discussed. THETA At Theta Chi Delta's regular Monday meeting, officers for this semester were elected. Dorothy Fannin is President, Norma Metcalf, Vice-President, Ellen Ong, Secretary: Phyllis Johnson, Corres- ponding Secretary, Phoebe Jean Sutton, Treasurer, Aird Stewart, Junior Represen- tative, Virginia Poole, Senior Represen- tative, Julie Ann Gardner, Sergeant at Arms, Ruby Smith, Pledge Mistress, and Drinette Slatten, Historian.

Dr. Allen Speaks To Assembly I Four famous political leaders will speak in Phoenix this winter, according to Dr. Robert Allen, who spoke in assembly Tuesday. Among those coming are Mr. Paul McNutt, newly-appointed Governor- general of the Philippines, Mr. Sumner Wells, former Under-Secretary of State, Mr. T. Soong, Chinese statesmanyand Ezequiel Padilla, former Foreign Minister of Mexico. Dr. Allen, in the course of his talk, stressed three points. American foreign policy in the past has been confused. It is our obligation that citizens in a democ- racy see to it that foreign policy isn't something we ignore, and never let it fall into the hands of a few people who use it to their own selfish ends. Americans must learn that we are going to live either in one world or no world. Leading in the singing of the school hymn were Jackie Salyards, Marjorie Meier, Mary Lawrence, Pat Parker, Phyllis Brown, and Katrin Hoffman, and Mr. Hakes directed while Mr. E. L. Stone accompanied.

In the series of three articles entitled Hearing is Believing Dixon Wecter at- tempts to evaluate the best known of the radio news analysts. He states that peo- ple are relying more and more on the radio for their news and that they are being increasingly influenced by radio Commentators. Mr. Wecter lists the three influences which are likely to bias the contest of a commentator's program, and these are the sponsors, individual stations, and radio networks. Mr. Wecter continues his series with an evaluation of some of the best known of the news analysts. He includes their education, qualifications as analysts, poli- tical views, and experience. He has chosen for greatest consideration Ray- mond Gram Swing, Ed Murrow, H. V. Kaltenborn, Low-ell Thomas, Drew Pear- son, Walter Winchell, Gabriel Heatter, Major George Fielding Elliot, Dorothy Thompson, Fulton Lewis Jr., and Upton Close. Several other commentators are given briefer mention. JC Enrollment Increase Told The enrollment at Phoenix Junior Col- lege has soared with 456 students regis- tered up to the d'ate of September 20. At the same time a year ago the enroll- ment was only 33l students. This shows ari increase of more than 37 percent. Among this number are 49 cadet nurs- es, 26 veteran servicemen and one veteran service woman. Each of these ex-service- men is in college under the G. l. Bill of Rights. Although no accurate number of out- of-state students was obtained, it is known that there are many. An informal check was made in one classishowing PJC students from a dozen different states. This confirms the contention held by many that Phoenix is one of the great melting pots within The Great Melting Pot. BEAR TRACKS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF . . . DORA M.

Fillies Frolicked in Gym And his shirt tail wouldn't stay in rang from the gymnasium last Friday night as denim-clad Fillies roared with F. V. Brown the song that described most of them. The occasion was the Filly's Frolic, annual AWS Co-ed party. Betty Rae Buzan and Betty Luitiens won the waltz contest in which Billie Mae Brown and Jackie Salyards were close runners-up. Pat Kearns and unknown partner were acclaimed the best jitter- bugs. Square-dancing and the Virginia reel proved interesting though confusing to the participants. Games were played, songs sung, and general dancing enjoyed. Cider and doughnuts were served by Betty Foskett. Mixers and Spook Dance Are Discussed By Board The next social event on the college social calendar is a Hallowe'en Dance scheduled tentatively on the calendar for October 27. ln a recent meeting held by the Executive Board, Social Commis- sioner Arlene Mathew suggested that the students restore to the college the Friday afternoon mixers. These dances would be held in the Blue and Gold Room, with Geraldine holding forth with the best of bands. Compton Trip to High- light Basketball Season Fall basketball practice got underway this week as Coach George Dutch Hoy started workouts on fundamentals. Hoy was well-pleased with the turnout and more aspirants are expected to report as the season nears. The official season will begin approxi- mately the lst of December and will be highlighted by a trip to Compton, Cali- fornia, for participation in the Western States Tournament which is open to every junior college west of the Mississippi river. In last year's tourney PJC made a creditable showing. Hoy stated that this year's edition will lack neither height nor reserves. Last year's club was severely handicapped by the lack of reserve players. Those reporting for the team were Don Allstrom, Bill Bartee, Don Douthit, S. G. Hammons, J. V. Hennon, Robert Kimes, John Krell, Dick Lawitzke, Cecil Scott, Giles Shivers, Steve Sing, Robert Stein, Dario Travaini, Thomas Turner, and Dale Welker.

A BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page IO BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press LET ME LIVE to understand man's hatred for the neck- tie, that is, some men's hatred for the necktie. In more than one classroom l have heard this poor 'lorn accessory used in a most derrogatory manner as an ex- ample of illogical state of the affairs in which we find modern civilization. And so in the best American tradition, that of championing the underdog, I come to the fore for the necktie. ln the first place, since one of the purposes of clothes is to enhance and beautify the human form, the soul's cas- tle. Assuming that we are going to wear clothes, for this and other purposes, I would like to ask, who ever saw a man with a pretty neck? Again we find that the necktie pro- vides a wealth of subject matter for con- versation. The style, the make, the store, the circumstances-there is no end to the possibilities alorfg this line, andtnot only that it gives tie haters something to talk about too. And along this line ithough l don't know just how many young tie haters there arel the benighted necktie presents a perfect ice breaker. Imagine the scene: it is a blind date-boy stands un- certain-girl enters, shy-no conversa- tional exchange-girl spots handsome tie slightly awry-approaches boy-straight- ens tie-being polite the boy must thank her- Thanks says boy- You're wel- come, smiles girl-she'd used Pepso- dent, Mum, Listerine, Woodbury's, and had Luxed her undies-kiss-wedding bells-baby announcements-a few years pass-their first born is inaugurated the 45th president of the United States--and all because'of a necktie. To be more practical-many murders at the present are being committed with the help of the so-called useless necktie. lf a man were suddenly to decide that he would like to commit a murder for the benefit of society and himself, would you strip him of a ready means of accom- plishing this desire, have him thwarted then and there to face the world a frus- trated shell of a man? And as my last point, l would like to say that as a neck protector it cannot be beat. lt protects the man from wholesale invasion by the insect world. Gentlemen, I ask you-in the face of all this-can you even think of abolish- ing the necktie? -G. M. NAD! ln this issue we are introducing Bum- stead, the black bear. As the symbol of college, his little spirit can be found any- where on the campus. You may follow him in future editions in this spot. PJC Vets Present 49 Yrs. of Service At an interview of twenty of the nearly thirty veterans enrolled at Phoenix Junior College, fifty-nine years of military ser- vice were discovered, 26 of which were spent outside the United States. ln all probability, if the service of the remaining vets were added to these totals, they would read nearly 80 years of military service, 40 of which would be overseas. The general GI reaction to the back to school idea is that it is a little hard now but will probably become easier when each veteran regains his old study habits. Some have had four or five year intervals between their last school year and the beginning of this semester, and they ,find that in subjects such as algebra, trigonometry, and physics, the lapse of time makes considerable difficulty. A PJC's Gls come from almost every branch of the military service. Bert Thur- man, ex-doughboy, spent 39 months overseas with Arizona's best known con- tribution to General Mac Arthur, the l58th combat team. Roy Parks partici- pated in most every major engagement from Oran to Munich and was a member of another original Arizona outfit, the 45th division. SalIy Rand, now doing post-graduate work, was a glider pilot with the 440th troup carrier, He says that when a glider pilot has landed his airborne troops he then becomes a dough- boy himself. lcd note. This feature will be continued in future editionsl. AND IN THIS CORNER . . . Though you probably have been work- ing too hard' to notice, something new has been added to the constantly growing campus. This time it's in the form of a roving reporter. He sometimes asks or just listens to the views of the gaba- bouts of the campus on College ques- tions. Heard around'this week were bids given by sophs to frosh on fine assembly seat tickets and tips on the amount of work expected by the different profs around here ia lotl. Most of the green students have ripened considerably by now, and we saw no one interested in this malarkey. Good. A query What would you do if you were student body president for one day? ' dragged forth some valuable thoughts, but for the most part, students mumbled that they 'guessed everything was o. k. as is.' One harried lad thought that it would be a good idea to call the whole thing off, while another thought that it would be fine to have Saturday classes, so you can gather there was a wide range of opinion. Most suggestions, however, had noth- ing to do with classrooms, but with the extracurricular activities, the Student Union for example. One puzzled student wanted to know why smoking was not allowed in the SU as it is on other college campuses. We explained that 'some of the boys' were agin' the whole idea and also that it would raise the cost of fire insurance a fraction for the small cafe- lEd. note. The plans for a permanent Student Union do include smoking in the building.1 teria building. This explanation didn't satisfy him at all. He still thinks it would not endanger the morale of the smokeless set to pass such a statute in the temporary SU. To be put on our future reference list, suggestions were made as to the appoint- ment of a committee for the permanent SU building. We think this is a must and should be done as soon as conditions permit, which is right now. An even greater crowd than last year is appreciat- ing the relaxation afforded in the present locality, and pretty soon students will be dancing on the window jsills. CThis I would like to seel.

Her hobby is, as may be expected, visiting art exhibits. Several of her paintings have been exhibited on the coast and here in Arizona.. One of her works is now on display in the Law Library at the University of Arizona. A new member of the office staff is Mrs. Jeanne Prentice Butler. She was born in Barberton, Ohio, and received her diploma from the University of Michigan. The position of Registrar has recently been filled by Miss Juanita Ground, an outstanding graduate of PJC. She was born in Idaho, and moved to Oregon, where she attended grammar school. She then came to Phoenix, attended Phoe- nix Union High School and JC, and then received her degree at Arizona State Teachers' College at Tempe. Mr. Kenneth Lynn Hakes, who now teaches the voice classes, is from Sheldon, Idaho. He received his Bachelor of Mu- sic degree at Simpson College in Indian- ola, Iowa, and attended the Peabody Uni- versity in Baltimore, Maryland, later re- ceiving his Master of Music degree at the University of Colorado. Mr. Hakes is an accomplished vocalist, having sung with the Johns Hopkins Uni- versity Summer Chorus in Baltimore, with an oratorio society in Iowa, at the Uni- versity of Colorado, and in the city of Denver. On its way to Phoenix this summer, the Hakes family spent an unplanned-for. va- cation of three weeks in Superior while the innards of the family car were revived.

FROM THE READERS October 2, l945 Dear Editor: Re your stirring editorial published in the last issue of Bear Tracks, I felt that you either do not understand human na- ture or that you were misinformed about the Freshman-Sopohomore Picnic. As will be recalled, the picnic was given to introduce the freshmen to the upper class. Unless one is unusually brash, a first meeting is apt to be ap- proached rather timorously. The fresh- men were acquainted with few of the sophomores. I saw no welcoming party to introduce the newcomers, nor did I see any of the so-called pained sopho- mores dashing up to ask the freshman about the weather, etc. Perhaps it would have been better if we had had one huge long table to seat all of the picnic-ers together. For all the students to run around in one gang would be rather difficult. I believe that the so-called cIiques are formed more for convenience and ac- cording to individual tastes. True, hang- over high school cliques are looked down upon at JC, but such gangs as are formed here don't have snobbery as their in- tention. I should like to say that the picnic was a success in the eyes of many, and I heard several remarks on the attitude of friendliness shown at JC. Perhaps we sophomores were too nervously anxious to make the picnic go over. l feel sure that as the weeks go by and more clubs and get-togethers are held, shyness will give way to casualness. --A Sophomore. What's Good In The Magazines As a special service to the student body, Bear Tracks will run a guide to worthwhile articles appearing in periodical literature.

Cord Meyer Jr., a Yale graduate of the class of I943, was one of Commander Stassen's two aides at the San Francisco World Security Conference. He led a marine maching-gun platoon in the cap- ture of Guam and Eniwetok. Mr. Meyer states that the deaths and sufferings of countless soldiers are not justifiable unless the people' in authority take advantage of our allied victory to create a world-order in which wars are no longer inevitable. He analyzes the United Nations Charter to see how far it falls short of that ideal. Mr. Meyer feels that the greatest weakness of the charter is the veto power of the five great powers, which enables them to be members without actually giv- ing up any of their sovereignty. How- ever, he states that the Charter, in spite of its weaknesses, is a beginning, and he expresses hope that it can be allowed to grow and be modified into the sort of organization which will insure lasting peace among nations. -E. L. Tl-is DEAN'S OFFICE A Salute to Vivian English and her committee for the splendid FiIIy's Frolic held on Friday evening in the gymnasium. Reports are that every- one had a fine time in every way. CaIifornia is outstanding for it's wonderful Junior Colleges. I was on the campuses of three of these out- standing institutions a few days ago, and talked with directors of two other Junior Colleges. Pasadena, Glendale, and Sacramento have long been in the forefront of the Junior College movement. It is gratifying to realize how well our own school ranks 'along side of those outstanding colleges. To date, eight persons have drop- ped PJC. This is disturbing, for they entered with enthusiasm only a few weeks ago. Unforseen circumstances have arisen that made it necessary for them to drop. While this is unfortun- ate, it at least was unavoidable. Some have discussed dropping, but before you go too far with such an idea, sit down and talk it over with a faculty member. They have seen a great deal of the same problems. Sophomores! If your petitions are not in for graduation, please attend to this matter at once.

Eta Chi Epsilon Names Officers Eta Chi Epsilon, Home Economics Sor- ority, has met twice within the last week- once to elect officers and once to make plans for the coming rush party. At the meeting last Friday, Kathleen Riordan was chosen as President, Mildred Fergu- son, Vice-President and Chairman of Programs, Margaret Dudley, Secretary, and Jencie Watson, Treasurer. After a short business meeting, Miss Stevens, sponsor, was hostess for the members at a tea, assisted by Mrs. Stranahan and her foods classes. At the business meeting Monday even- ing, at the home of Kathleen and Geral- dine Riordan, were Miss Stevens, sponsor, Mrs. Stranahan, honorary member, Drin- ette Slatten, Jencie Watkins, Emma Jean Foord, Alice Ryan, Patricia Parker, .Julie Farrell and Mildred Ferguson. Plans for the Eta Chi rush party were discussed. After adjournment, the Misses Riordan served a delicious lunch. With the increased enrollment in the Home Economics and Art department this year, plans are being made for a very active and interesting club. This was a game. Margaret Gerard, Nancy Seaman, and Sherry Lehmann solemn- ly compare their pieces of animal with the others to make a whole at the Filly's Frolic.

This activity was discon- tinued after the Pearl Harbor attack due to travel restrictions. ' It is believed that the JC women and managers will decide on full participation. The managers are as follows: Kathryn Kraft, tennis, Dora Kline, hockey, Mar- garet Dudley, badminton, Pat Parker, golf, and Ellen Ong, archery. Participation in these events will mean after school sports and more training and competition than there has been during the last few years. Since JC is only a two year school, dur teams will be at a slight disadvantage in competition with U of A and Tempe College, but if the invitation is accepted they will be out to make a showing. The number of students registered PJC, to October 5 is 486. Included this number are four new ex-ser- Pyle Laucls MacArthur In Plea For Peace in Assembly O, Lord, revive the church-in me is a Chinese prayer recalled by Howard Pyle in his speech before last Tuesday's assembly. Formerly associated with the Republic and Gazette and now Program Director of radio station KTAR, Mr. Pyle has achieved nation-wide fame as a special correspondent to the Security Conference in San Francisco and a war correspondent in the South Pacific. There he witnessed all the major surrenders, including the signing of the final surrender terms on the USS Missouri. He traveled 35,000 miles in ten days, and was the first rep- resentative correspondent to arrive in Japan with the Airborne Division. The outstanding experience on his trip was his long and informal interview with General MacArthur in Manila, said Mr. Pyle. He admitted having received an un- favorable impression of MacArthur at the beginning, but pointed out that the pres- sure of last minute military matters and the unbearable heat were a terrible strain. After talking with him, he added, l changed my opinion . The only question MacArthur declined to comment upon was that concerning ioint military command in the Pacific. Mr. Pyle, in concluding the interview, asked him what he thoughtabout the prospects of peace in the future. He then made the most amazing state- ment l have ever heard in my life , Mr. Pyle declared. During a discourse of sev- eral minutes, he spoke of the develop- ment of war from a struggle between arm- ies to a struggle causing the suffering of all civilians. MacArthur told them the more he saw of war, the more he knew civilization would not survive another. He then described the latest discoveries of atomic energy, when the first atomic bomb had not yet been dropped on Ja- pan. As a final analysis, MacArthur said, While we have mastered the building of incomparable material things, we have failed to push the development of the one thing that can guarantee peace among man, and that is character. Victory Loan Drive To Reopen At JC The new Victory Loan Drive will of- ficially open at PJC on Tuesday, October l6, announced Mr. Newnam,Chairman of the Bond Committee. On that day the college will be pre- sented in assembly with a bronze plaque for exceeding its quota of over Sl0,000 in the last bond drive. Mr. Newnam has not yet set the quota for this drive, but he states that it will probably be less than the Sl0,000 quota for the 7th War Loan. There may be some question as to the present need for more money when there is no war. The government has given proof of' the need for more money in the following reasons: first, the cost of guard- ing Germany and Japan: second, to pro- vide for the eight million veterans to be discharged soon, third, for aid to the wounded and disabled. .T1O New PJC English Professor Is From Pacific Northwest Dr. John K. Forrest, the new English teacher, comes to PJC from San Francisco, California. He received his doctor's de- gree from the University of Washington in l942, having taught at that institu- tion since l934. Dr. Forrest was born in Nebraska and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he lived until l942. His life after this has a surprising turn. He moved to California to begin work in the shipyards. He felt at that time that he was needed more there than in the classroom. For the present, his family, his wife, a 22 months' old daughter, and a boy 4 months old, is living in San Francisco un- til a home can be found in Phoenix for them. Dr. Forrest has this to say of Phoenix and PJC: When a person steps off the train at 8:10 a.m. and starts to teach at 9:50, one can only get a fleeting impres- sion. But in the 3 days that l have been here, my impressions have been favorablef l enjoy the entire atmosphere of the col- lege. This is his first visit to Arizona. Page i4 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Published By the Students of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press On Conversation and Coffee Five 'years ago there was intro- duced in our fair college the cof- fee hour. This was to prompt in- telligent discussion on a broad basis which is one of the aims of higher education--that is to bring . all knowledge together with all its parts in their proper relations. ln class, as you have found, dis- cussion is limited a great deal by time and the necessity of covering a certain a m o u n t of material rather than concentrating on any one point. And more than this- discussion is limited to the partic- ular phase encompassed in that subject. As various members of the faculty attend all sides of a subject are brought to light. ln- formality brings the advantages of a bull session-the feeling that you are free to talk your head off or listen, just as you please. The subjects range of philoso- events to the heights of philoso- phy, modern literature or the ef- fects on the soul fo boogy woogy. Subjects are chosen by the group for the following meeting. Dis- cussion is not guided--it flows in every direction, it collects about a certain point for a moment but it is never stagnant. Here is the stu- dent's chance to thrash out sci- ence with a philosopher with a scientist to help him out. The chance to hear Mr. Andre's views on deliquency and Mr. Phelp's views on the atomic bomb. To add to the etherial atmos- phere of conversation, the ma- terial atmosphere of substenance is found in, of course, coffee or a choice of carbonated waters. This is handled by the students' com- mittee. Perhaps you will find in- sniration in your teacups. The The time is arranged so that the most possible can attend. This is probably the chance you have been awaiting. The chance to discuss subjects in which you are interested, informally with your faculty, who want to hear what you have to say just as much as you want to hear them. Know Your DDT Everyone now has knowledge of DDT, a new insecticide which was released to the general public a few days ago, and rnany calls on its uses have been received by all county agents, and entomolog- ists. lt is, therefore, our object to give some information to the stu- dents about DDT. All through the war it has claimed to be sufficient for all jungle pests. We all have heard the good part, but now let's look on the opposite side. DDT is very powerful and harm- ful to honey bees and to other beneficial insects. DDT is highly toxic to fish and certain other cold blooded animals, but is much less poisonous to warm blooded ani- mals. DDT is readily absorbed through the skin of men and ani- mals, on man causing a skin irri- tation. Many of us have used DDT both as sprays and as powders for con- trol of household insects, such as cockroaches, fleas, and ants. In Arizona these sprays have proved very inadequate in the elimina- tion of cockroaches. On some ants DDT has worked. lt has been used for control of many citrus insects, however it is not to be recom- mended at the present time. Ex- periments are being continued. lt is wise for purchasers to han- dle DDT with care. As yet we do not know the whole story of DDT. AND IN THIS CORNER We hear rumors of reinstating an old custom at J.C .... mixers. This used to be a fun time in the after-school hours, when everyone got together to dance and talk. The idea slowly petered out when the men began to think more of the war than of women. But now the men are again considering female possibilities, we think the mixers would be a success-and fun, too. We present the classroom. This is a common room furnished with chairs, a blackboard and a professor. The speci- mens which eventually file into' the room are also common, but the various attitudes assumed by these specimens li.e., stu- dentsi, as the lecture proceeds, is indeed amazing. l think the subject of a lecture has little or nothing to do with the varying attitudes adopted by the specimens. Ob- servations have proved that one example would just as soon doze through a heated debate over racial prejudice as she would a lesson of ethics, or, on the other hand, another similar object would consider the future possibilities of Aristotle's theory as thoughtfully as he would a lesson in gram- mar. The foregoing is based only upon ob- servations, and the actions may be just a sham of the students to fool the prof in- to assuming he has no eager students . . . but we do know that habits have a way of shaping character. We wonder if in last Tuesday's assem- bly, Mr. Pyle could have been addressing us when he stated that the youth of to- day would keep the Peace with a well- built character, built not in the future, .-.C.

On the new day they gathered to wit- ness their triumph. But lo, this was not their day. The teacher gave his test and they all flunked. Moral: You can fool some of the peo- ple three times. -G. M. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD - - - discussed plans for substituting a ra- dio, or records donated by PJC stud- ents, for the juke box in the Student Union. The purpose of the move is to save the students money, as the juke hox now in use is privately owned. Student purchase of a juke box was ruled to be too expensive, Dr. Han- nelly advisor, suggested inviting Dean Gibson and Dean Wyman to the next meeting, and discussion of the project was postponed until'then. Accidental damamge was recent- ly done to some of the furniture in the SU by a couple of PJC students, and Harlin Cook, presideent, suggested making public the incident to avoid such occurrences in the future.

Every newsstand is flooded with digest magazines, for example: Omnibook, Everybody's Digest, Reader's Digest, Sci- ence Digest, Magazine Digest, Reader's Scope, Best Sellers, Christian Digest. In addition, there are an even greater num- ber of periodicals who find a Reader's Digest-size format a considerable stimu Iant to circulation. The avowed purpose of the digest is to save its readers the time, the trouble, and the expense of reading the many magazines now on the market. Say the digesting editors, We shall eliminate all superfluous material. We shall present only articles of import. So they say, but could it be possible that these editors are careless in their own reading habits? Or is it that they consider certain political and economic viewpoints superfluous and un- worthy of presentation to a digest-reading public? We might answer this before reading. ln addition to facts, digests have a run- ning reputation for rather robust ibut clever, I must admitl jokes and stories. It has been suggested that material ap- pearing in Esquire Magazine iwhich, as you may remember, was refused mailing privileges because of its - ah - cartoons, etc.l was of no more a salacious nature than that of the more respectable digests. Digests are an appeal to immaturity. They, not we, do the selecting of our reading material. Certainly this is not flattering to us who consider ourselves educated and capable of doing our own thinking, Digests as do K-rations make a very unstimulating meal. We now have so many digests avail- able that thought might be needed to select among these. This could beavert- ed by the creation of the Digest Digest. -J. A.

Appearing in the current issue of Har- per's magazine is the first part of a two- part novel, Repent in Haste, by J. P. Marquand. In this first installment Wil- liam Briggs, correspondent, meets a young navy flier and has a chance to observe him as he goes into combat. In one scene Mr. Marquand describes an interview with three aviators after they have been rescued from a rubber raft in the middle of the Pacific. He contrasts the inarticulateness of the men interview- ed with the gay, talkative picture of them that the interviewer would paint in his copy. Most of the students are probably fa- miliar with other novels by John P. Mar- quire, So Little Time, and The Late quire, So Little Tiime, and The Late George Apley, which is now being made into a movie. This novel is well worth reading if only on the. strength of Mar- quand's past record of finely perceptive literature. THE DEAN'S OFFICE The first semester is divided into three periods of seven, six, and six weeks respectively. Today marks: the close of the fifth week. By this time, each student should have his bearings with his work running smoothly. If you have difficulties, feel free to talk to your instructor, as he would like to help in any possible way. The 'GI's' are returning daily. The faculty has been very eager to help them in any way to get into classes. For those who come in later, the even- ing Junior College offers the answer. A full announcement of the evening college will be made in the near future. Call this to the attention of your 'Gl' friends. Many young people who are 'working should be interested in the evening college. This week's bouquet goes to Mrs. Motto and her fine group of helpers in the cafeteria for the splendid food which is being served again this year. The record of the cafeteria through the war years when food problems were serious has been exceedingly bright. The commendation of the food and the friendly spirit of the cafeteria is unani- mous.

He has seen service in France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, and Luxem- burg, and wears the purple heart with one cluster. Harry states that the Luxem- burg girls compare favorably with the American lasses. Bill Worrell, ex-infantryman with the 35th division, saw service in France and Germany. Martin Pallas, cornhusker from Omaha and an ex-merchant marine, is a veteran of several trips to France and has made the North Atlantic trip. Gus Chavez, ex-member of the dynamic Patton's third army, has had thirty-two months service in the European Theatre. He was in England, France, Belgium, Ger- many, Luxemburg, Holland, and Czecho- slovakia. Gus says the English girls are nice.

I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER l2, I945 No. 5 Missionary Urges Return To Faith Of Jesus Christ Stating that religion and science can and must work together, and that respon- sibility should be assumed by the young- er generation, Dr. E. Stanley Jones, in- ternationally renowned missionary and author, addressed last Tuesday's assem- bly. Dr. Jones also said that he believed the only solution to reconstruction prob- lems is to put the power of science under the guidance of religion. He further stat- ed that Iove to God and man on the part of each individual is necessary to re-make the world. The missionary expressed the belief that we cannot work against the laws of the universe without taking the conse- quences. The universe was not made by chance, said Dr. Jones, God was be- hind its creation. You have three great choices to make in your life, he stated. Your life's work, mate, and philosophy. Every indi- vidual has the right to useful work, and only Russia has solved that problem and eliminated unemployment. In that re- spect we must look to Russia. Make your decision about your philosophy now. My way, which is faith in God, life, people, and destiny works to the degree you work it. Dr. Jones has traveled extensively, and has spent many years working in the Far East. He is in Phoenix under the spon- sorship of the Phoenix Ministerial Asso- ciation and the Arizona Council of Churches. JC Campus To Benefit By Expansion Of City Limits On Tuesday, October I6, Phoenix Jun- ior College was taken into the Phoenix city limits! Many citified advantages will follow. Paved streets on either side of the campus will be an asset to the college. In time the irrigation ditch in front of the quadrangle will be covered and Thomas Road will be widened. The opening of l5th Avenue through Osborn Road will be of benefit to many students, and eventually a street on the north side of the campus will be opened. Then, too, PJC is now under city police and fire protection. And mail service will be more frequent and complete, Mary Tang, who last year sold the greatest number of bonds, receives on behalf of the college in Tuesday's assembly the Iwo Jima Plaque from Mr. Fred Adams of The Arizona Republic and Gazette in recognition of the fine work shown by JC in the 7th War Loan Drive. Best, Newnam Urge JC To Support Bond Drive After receiving honors in the form of a bronze plaque for its work during last year's bond drive, PJC saw the beginning of the new Victory Loan Drive with Mr. C. J. Newnam as Faculty Chairman of the campaign and Barbara Best as Student Chairman. Mr. Fred Adams, one of the Editors of the Republic and Gazette, presented a re- plica of the famous flag-raising incident that took place in Iwo Jima inscribed in bronze to the college. Mary Tang accept- ed the plaque on behalf of PJC. This honor went to her as the individual sell- ing the greatest number of bonds, total- ing S6,800, in the 7th War Loan Drive. The Student Bond Committee for the new bond drive has been chosen by Mr. Newham and Barbara Best. They are Ellen Ong, Theta Chi Delta, Claire Cochran, Alpha, Barbara Major, Alpha Sigma Gam- ma, Betty Foskett, Kappa Delta Nu, Katie Draft, Phi Lambda Zeta, and Mary Tang. Popular Movies To Be Brought To PJC Soon JC students will soon have the oppor- tunity of seeing popular movies of their own choice on the campus free of charge, it was recently announced by the Visual Aids Committee. In cooperation with the committee, Bear Tracks will conduct a pole on Monday so that the students can decide on the pictures they prefer. How Green Was My Valley, The Plainsman, and Claudia are among the group of pic- tures from which the students are to select. Twelve pictures were sifted out of fifty by the dramatic Arts 2I class: Claudia, starring Dorothy McGuire and Robert young, The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Robert Donat, Drums Along The Mohawk, starring Henry Fonda and Clau- dette Colbertj Grapes of Wrath, starring Henry Fonda, How Green Was My Valley, starring Maureen O'Hara, Jane Eyre, star- ring Joan Fontaine and Orsen Welles, In Old Chicago, starring Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Don Ameche, The Mark of Zoro, starring Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell, Of Mice and Men, starring Bur- gess Merideth and Lon Chaney Jr., Our Town, starring Martha Scott, The Plains- man, starring Gary Cooper and Jean Ar- thur, and Western Union, starring Robert Young and Randolph Scott. Varied Questions On Ballot Some of the questions on the ballot will be as follows: Rate the six movies to be shown at JC, should shows start at eight p. m., and should the public come free. , One of the proposed purposes of this project is to stimulate community in- terest in Phoenix Junior College. The money lapproximately Sl5.00l for each picture is to be taken out of the student fund. Members of the Visual Aids Committee -Mr. J. N. Smelser, Chairman, Miss Jean Hunter and Miss Helen Hubbard-stated that they plan to show the first of this series during the latter part of November. After the showing of several pictures the experiment will be evaluated from the response and enthusiasm shown by the students. i Page I8 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Official Publication of the Student Body of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, ...,.,.....

HUTCHINS On reading the essay by John Dewey which grew out of the second Conference on the Scientific Spirit and Democratic Faith, held in New York recently, we find a profound presentation of the relation of education to democrary. Dewey states that the course of events of the last fifty years has been remark- able in that it was exactly opposite to all prediction. lnterdependence, instead of breaking down social and trade barriers, has multiplied them. Rationality was to follow the diffusion of knowledge, and freedom the trend toward democratic in- stitutions and popular government. Des- potic government and general ignorance were believed to be synonymous and so enlightenment would gradually eliminate oppressive governmental control to a min- imum. lndustrial developments were to raise the standard of living of the many to a decent level. But we find, insteadof this, that we have both extremes of eco- nomic instability, depression and prosper- ity, in quick succession, and the accom- panying social instability. The Principle At Fault What principle was held that precipi- tated this complete reversal of all expec- tation? lt was a policy- of drift as far as human intelligence and ,effort were concerned. The doctrine of laissez-faire is an example of the faith in nature and natural laws accomplishing what only hu- man intelligence can logically be expect- ed to do. The idealists were wrong in holding such a belief, but the realists were also wrong in ,insisting on maintain- ing it as national policy, for they did it with an eye to their own profits. - Science and technology were discover- ed, invented, and put to use by man- they must beguided by man. No organi- zation ever succeeded that was not well planned. How can we expect a world built on human invention to end in anything but chaos if we deny the responsibility, of the coordination of all this physical pro- gress by foresight and purposeful plan- ning to achieve the best results . In the words of Bacon, We strive to leam the laws of things not for the sake of the law, but because by knowing the laws, we may remake things in the image of our desire .- 'x The discoveries in science have been made by observation of the problem at hand and methodical research as to the best procedures. But where human rela- tions are concerned there is no method, no plan whatsoever. Our social-moral knowledge is so far behind our physical knowledge that the last dominates the first. True, science has progressed so rapidly that human knowledge could hard- ly be expected to have reached the same state of development. But when the need for it is so apparent, evidenced by war and insecurity, it is surprising that some- thing has not been done. The Organized Campaign Against Science One reason for the failure to use sci- ence in human relations is that scientific research began with the stars, and as it came down to earth and probed the phy- siological and biological, the resistance made by old institutions who felt their prestige threatened forced scientists to specialize and confine their work to the physical alone in order to continue at all. This tended to perpetuate the belief that 'man as man' is separate from the rest of nature. The organized campaign against sci- ence asserts that wars have been caused by our devotion to scientific method and conclusion, that natural science cannot be applied to man for he is outside and above nature: therefore that we must look to prescientific supernatural doctrine to solve our social-moral problems. And they assume, wrongly, that we have ever seri- ously and systematically applied scientific method to human problems. The Issue The issue is whether we shall go back- ward or whether we shall go forward to- ward the recognition in theory and prac- tice of the indissoluble unity of the hu- manistic and the naturalistic . Modern Education But some of our modern educators urge us to turn back to the medievalism of the study of literary arts. They would deny science as materialistic and anti-human . They must learn that human attitudes and efforts are the strategic center for the promotion of the general aims of peace among nations . AND IN THIS CORNER . . . We hear people about town constantly remarking of JC's increase of enrollment. We oldtimers are glad, too, that JC is taking on aspects of a university rather than a small country school. Because we think the classrooms are run in the customary manner, we shall speak more of the extracurricular activi- ties, which should not be the whole, but a big part of what makes for a good college atmosphere. We have had suggestions Cmany from womenl that ye old custom of fraternities be revived here. lBelieve it or not, JC now has a male population of l87l. In i943 it was found fruitless to carry on frats without men. Comments imenl about campus now speak bravely of initia- tions, meetings and dances which could be conceived. ii Phi Alpha Chi, Sigma Kappa Phi, Tau Omega and Xl Delta Chi are organiza- tions which in the past have endeavored to promote the interests of good fellow- ship, school spirit, scholarship and public service among the men students at JC. While nothing has been done lwhich is usually the casel to further the idea, we wonder if a response could be elicited from the former faculty sponsors of fra- ternities, BMOC's, and interested parties on the campus. --V. H. Scientific methods and conclusions must be incorporated with our liberal edu- cation as supreme agencies in giving direction to collective and cooperative hu- man behavior . The liberal and the vocational must be brought together, not treated separately Cas in medieval timesl as subiects 'intel- lectual' and subjects 'practical'. This is a denial of democracy. lt is based on the assumption that there are certain ones who cannot rise to the intellectual plane and therefore they must be relegated to the study of the practical. Having established the democratic in- stitutions, we have divorced them as ends, from the means leducation, human endea- vor and understandingl, of maintaining and improving them. The Problem It is our problem, then, to humanize science and the 'fruit of science', tech- nology, that wide-ranging, trained atti- tudes of observation and understanding may be incorporated in our living, and that science, education, and the demo- cratic cause may meet as one through human desire, human endeavor, and human understanding . --G.

Vets Tell Overseas Tales Jack Trimble, formerly with the 3 l 30th Signal Service Company, spent twenty- eight months as a member of Uncle Sam's Armed Forces. Six of these were spent in New Guinea. Dave Eisenstein, ex-gob, hails from St. Paul, Minnesota, and finds the Phoenix sunshine tops. He is now darkroom technician for Bear Tracks. A veteran of twelve months in Aus- tralia with the 30th Service Squadron, 22nd Service Group, is John Nisbett. While in Australia he had the opportunity to visit Brisbane, Ipswich, and Melbourne, he found the Australians very friendly. Donald Barrett, once a member of the l892nd Service Unit, has twenty months service to his credit. Most of this time was spent in Texas and Donald reports that the Texans are warm-hearted people. He tells us that Texas girls marry young and often, and they are really attractive, though hardly as beautiful as the movies would lead us to believe. Lester Brown, veteran with four years service, spent six months in Italy with the 376th bomb group. The Italian cities which he liked particularly were Taranto, Bari, and Naples. No doubt he could tell' one of the Battle of Via Roma. ' 4 Q.-7 TH E DEAN'S OFFICE Evening school will begin on Oc- tober 23, and although the students will be taking regular college courses, they will not be counted in the regu- lar enrollment. Look around you for some returned serviceman or friend whom you can encourage to go to col- lege. He will always be grateful to you for having done so. This week's bouquet goes to the 'City Fathers', who have taken PJC into the city. The community appre- ciates the college, and it in turn appre- ciates the splendid support and co- operation it has received from the city and the community at large. The friendly spirit of .JC is cer- tainly evident on the campus this semester. If you are not getting ac- quainted with the students, greet them pleasantly as you see them in class, and elswhere, and you will soon share in the 'spirit of the carnpus'. School is presently running, as the coach would'say, 'in mid-season form'. In general, this is a gratifying year. We have a growing student body, 494 students enrolled for the semester, and for the year enrollment will approach 575. Things are beginning to resem- ble the 'good old days' of college life. Dates Set By Social Clubs For First Semester Rushing The social clubs have turned in their rush party schedules to Dean Gibson. The final dates are as follows: ' Alpha-Saturday, Nov. 27.

Atlantic Monthly - October - An Historian Looks At the Young Entry-Roger Merriman. In the article An Historian Looks at the Young Entry, Roger Merriman, a teacher of history at Harvard University from i902 until his death recently, urges that the youth of this nation be lead away from, the philosophy of isolationism through 'an educational process. He states that many of the catastrophies of World War ll could have been prevented if the people of this country and of Eng- land had not been so much against a policy of preparedness for another war. Mr. Merriman adds that the Atlantic Ocean is no longer an insurmountable barrier and that isolation from the rest of the world is impossible. He states that modern language and history should have a greater part in college curricula. The use of languages facilitates interna- tional understanding, and we can learn much of value in settling our problems of today from the lessons which history has to teach. Mr. Merriman also says in his article that greater care should be made in the selection of teachers as the personality of the teacher has as great an effect upon the student as the facts which he is ex- pounding. Plans Are Made To Activate Language Club At Term End Foreign language clubs for the first semester will not be organized at JC un- til first term examinations and reviews have been completed anounced Miss Campbell, chairman of the Foreign Lan- guage Department. Though only one club for all foreign language students has been organized for the past two or three years, tentative plans are being made for the formation of a separate French club. During the first semester the club is is open only to second and third year stu- dents, while beginning students are in- itiated at the beginning of the second semester. The clubs are organized to furnish ex- tra activities and information about other countries, such as art, music, and cus- toms, which cannot be discussed during class periods, and to give students extra opportunity to practice speech in the language they are studying. Page 20 BEAR TRACKS+PHOENlX JUNIOR COLLEGE AWS Votes To Sponsor Annual Christmas Formal At a meeting held last Monday during Activity period, the AWS Executive Board voted to sponsor the Christmas Dance. This formal dance will be held on Sat- urday, December 22, in the gymnasium, at 9:00 o'clock. Chairman of the decora- tion committee is Mary Carolyn Steadman and Pat Lindsay is in charge of orchestra arrangements. O. Visitor Urges Campus Drive To Aid Foreign Students The Executive Board, consisting of as many members as could be located, met in an emergency session during the sec- ond and third periods on Tuesday for the purpose of hearing Mr. Al Gottlieb, i945 graduate of the University of Ariz- ona now affiliated with the World Student Service Fund. Mr. Gottlieb explained the need for American students to participate in a nation-wide drive for funds to help alleviate the suffering of students of war- devastated countries. The campaign out- lines for Junior College were to have been presented to the members of the Execu- tive Board during the regular Thursday meeting. Board Discusses Purchasing of Radio For Student Union At the meeting on Thursday, October ll, the Executive Board discussed plans for purchasing a radio for the Student Union lounge, and the student chairman for bond sales was elected. Dean Gibson, who, with Dean Wyman was a guest of the board, made a report on the furniture fund of the Student Un- ion. Out of the 5500 allotted, there is SIOO left, part of which has been set aside for chairs. lt was suggested that the remainder be spent on a radio-phonograph combination that the students have re- quested, Considering the complications t h a t would arise from a student operated rec- ord player, Dean Wyman advised the board tp buy a cabinet radio without the phonograph. He also pointed out that, al- though the students object to the cost of operating the iuke box, half of the intake from this source is given to the cafeteria to help lower costs. Dr. Hannelly recommended that a com- mittee of three be appointed to canvass for student opinion and investigate cur- rent prices. The motion was approved and carried. - He also asked that a student chairman be appointed by the board to work with Mr. C. J. Newnam on the student bond sales campaign. Barabara Best was nomi- nated and unanimously elected. . Q - K 3, '-, L3 I' - gy . Gmc A is at 141 H rg 'Q 4 if .A Q-46 i d ia, g X A J 2 fl' .n?

The Evening College was established to meet the demands of persons who work during the day and for returned veterans who were released from the service too late to begin the first semester. The requests of registrants will govern the number and type of courses to be offered, and special information regard- ing courses may be obtained at the regis- trar's office. Regular staff members and other com- petent instructors will comprise the fac- ulty for the college, and as far as possible, the evening course will conform to the daily college program. Registration requirements will be the same as those for regular classes. Stu- dents must be high school graduates, per- sons over 2l, or returned veterans of l8 or over. Regular bus schedules will be arrang- ed to the college, and adequate parking space for all cars will be provided. ln late November courses on an ac- celerated basis will be offered and will continue until the end of the first semest- er. As in summer school, the number of accelerated courses that a student can take will be limited. A similar program will be offered in the spring. This stag- gered schedule will enable returned veter- ans to enter within a few weeks after their discharge at any time during the year. There is no reason, said Dean Wy- man, why a student who works days and studies at night shouldn't have the same advantages as a student who attends school during the day and works at night. ln so far as this can be carried out, it will be followed in our evening program. Engineering Club Revives After Two Year Silence The Engineering Club, under the spon- sorship of Colonel Clyde Myers and the presidency of Jerry Howell, has been re- organized this year after two years of in- activity due to the war. There are thirty- six members, at present, and a member- ship drive will be started soon. Other officers are Harry Dong, vice- president, Jack Shaffer, secretary, and .Harold Buckles, program-director. One night each month the club has as a guest speaker an engineer or an archi- tect. Other meetings are held weekly or when necessary. The PJC Engineering Club is a student chapter of the American Association of Engineers. Here's The Answer To Why No Touch Football At PJC? At the present time l 'am devoting each afternoon to the basketball squad in preparation for an early and extensive schedule, replied Coach Hoy when asked about touch football. Nothing has been done towards intra- mural competition because of the basket- ball practice. However, in the regular Physical Education classes, the boys are playing touch football as 'well as other sports. lt might be of interest to know that the St. Mary's High School Vikings are using the PJC football field for their home field. The Vikes defeated the Phoe- nix Grays, Coyote's second team, last week. JC Students Are Welcome Employees In Phoenix Firms There are more jobs open in the com- munity for college students than can be filled by JC people willing to work. Mr. Cocanower of the Commerce Department receives many calls each week from firms and individuals who cannot obtain em- ployees. The jobs offered are of a varied na- ture, including everything from date- harvesting to saddling horses, and the opportunity is wide for any prospective salesmen .or stenographers. Many firms often keep up a policy of hiring JC students because of their satis- factory record in the past. lt is a trib- ute to studentswho have worked in the past, said Mr. Cocanower, that such a situation exists. Mr. Gene Redewill, violinist, will be featured in the assembly next Tuesday. VOL. 1 8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, OCTOBER 26, 1945 No. 6 PJC ROTC Regiment Reoctivated By Magee The ROTC unit at PJC has been re- activated this semester by Major John A. Magee under the authorization of Super- intendent Montgomery. The classes are held in the Gymnasium and drilling is be- ing conducted on the football field. In the spring of 1942 the ROTC unit was disbanded due to the war. At this time there were approximately seventy- five cadets in the unit. During the war, students who had been in the ROTC units of their high schools were promoted to positions on the SJC Brigade Staff upon entering the college. Since the reactiva- tion of the ROTC unit, all Brigade Staff appointments are being made within the unit. The JC Brigade Staff functions several times during the year at which time the NPHS regiment, PUHS regiment, and Carver Company form together to make up the brigade. This occurs when the brigade participates in parades, at the Thanksgiving football game, and on Mili- tary night. At various times during the year the Brigade Staff inspects the regi- ments. The uniforms worn are the same as in other ROTC units with the execption of the fact that the Junior College Bear is used as a shoulder insignia. Arrangements are being made to acti- vate an ROTC Rifle Team and an ROTC Club. The unit is starting in a very modest way, but it is hoped that there will be a large increase in enrollment at this time next year. The following promotions and special assignments are announced: Commanding the Brigade, Colonel Joel Leetham, Chief of Staff, Lt. Col. Harlin Kelly, Adjutant, Lt. Col. Jim Hill, Intelligence Officer, Major Robert Hirsch, Plans and Training, Major Frank Luke, Supply Officer, Major Don Allstrom, Public Relations Officer, Captain Charles Brooks, Provost Marshall, Captain Valentine, Ass't Liason Officer, 1st Lt. Gus Engstrom, Liason Officer, Cap- tain Hammons, G-1, lst Lt. Stallings, G-2, 2nd Lt. Shoup, G-3, 2nd Lt. O'Con- .ner, and Master Sg't Giles Shivers, Master Sg't James Tabor, Master Sg't Eddie Mack, Technical Sg't Carter, Pfc Bick- man, Pfc Bullard, Pfc Williams. Eery Spirit Rules Sorority And Minute Maid Groups To Handle Drive PJC's goal for the new Victory Loan Drive was set at 58,000 by the Student Bond Committee, according to C. J. New- nam, Faculty Chairman of the Bond Com- mittee. The sororities will handle 56,000 and the Chinese-American Minute Maids and sales previous to the drive will take 52,- 00O, stated Barbara Best, Student Chair- man. She has set definite goals for each sorority according to the number of pres- ent members. The goals are as follows: Theta Chi Delta, 51,45O, Alpha, 51,775, Alpha Sigma Gamma, 51,300, Phi Lamb- da Zeta, 5975, Kappa Delta Nu, 5500. As in previous drives, prizes will be offered. To individuals selling 25 bonds or more, a written citation signed by the Secretary of The Treasury and the state bond chairman will be presented. Stu- dents who sell 10 bonds or more may join the Blue Star Ribbon brigade and are privileged to wear the nation's bond army insignia. This will be the last formal bond drive and will end on December 8. . 04.....- To 0wn Or Not To Own A Juke Box Debated By Board At Thursday's meeting of the Execu- tive Board, apropos of the students' ob- jections to the cost of operating the juke box, it was suggested that the school buy it outright. However, Dr. Hannelly point- ed out that the cost of the upkeep and records might prove to be more than anticipated. At the present time, half 'the take is given to the owner of the juke box and half to the cafeteria. There was a disagreement about how the cafeteria's share of the money is used, and it was suggested that Harlan Cook arrange a meeting with Dean Wyman and Mrs. Mot- to, supervisor of the cafeteria, to have the questions concerning the matter answer- ed. Students: Be sure to turn in your bond purchases for the months of June, July, August, and September to Miss Ruth Miller or Mr. C. J. Newnam. Tomorrow ight Witches, black cats, ghosts--all will be an important part of the year's first dance, a Halloween sport hop, which will be held from 9 to 12 o'clock tomor- row evening in the gym. Wierd decorations adorning the walls will lend an eerie and exciting atmosphere to the occasion which promises to be festive and long-remembered. Danceable music, both hot, to please the hep little ogres and gnomes who might attend such an affair on Halloween, and sweet, slow music for the more senti- mental witches who may fly in by broom- stick for the occasion, will be provided by Vern Kiel's orchestra. ln keeping with the autumn theme, orange punch and chocolate cookies have been planned to refresh the students who are worn out with dancing or from too much pre-Halloween haunting. This dance is something special, but for JC students and their dates, the dance is free. All this is managed by the 512.- 00 incidental fee paid at registration, Only one of the couple needs to be a regularly enrolled student at JC. Though All-Hallows Eve doesn't arrive until Wednesday, PJC will get into the mood for the occasion early. The committee working to create chilling decorative effects are Charlotte Lubman, chairman, and Esther Boedecker, Betty Anderson, Betty Heflin, Donna Sickenger, Don Olliver, John Krell, Bill Andrews and Dudley Ketcherside. Refreshments are being planned and prepared by Barbara Best, chairman, and Jynx Stewart, Dick Lawitzke, June lzard, Dora Kline, Donna McNeil, Virginia Har- vey, and Aird Stewart. End Of Six Weeks Term Sends Grade Cards Home Since today, October 26, marks the end of the first term of this semester, many will wonder about the methods of conveying the reports to the students. Miss Ground, eregistrar, announces that the g'rade cards will probably be in the mail by next Friday. l Page 22 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE BEAR TRACKS Official Publication of the Student Body of Phoenix Junior College Member Associated Collegiate Press EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ............

It is no longer a white country if, indeed, it ever was one. We realize that Americans are of all races and creeds. Unfortunate- ly there are many who call themselves American who can't or won't see the necessity of living together peacefully and working together for the good of-all. The ,entire world looks to America fot leadership. Nations take notice when Private C. J. Reco, a Negr is beaten be- cause he happened to sit in the white section of a bus in Texas. Such incidents are useful to those who would create dis- trust of American ideals and motives. Minorities here are majorities in other parts of the world. The prejudice against a minority here will result in distrust from their sister majorities in other places. Are we, as intelligent human beings, going to stand by while respect -for our force takes the place of respect for our principles? Race discrimination has infiltrated otherwise reputable organizations. For example, during the war the Army re- quested the Red Cross to label blood de- spite the undisputed scientific fact that there is no difference in the physical pro- perties of blood from the different races, A certain Veteran's Organization, ac- cording to Fortune, April, I944, had never failed up to that time to pass an annual re- solution against the Japanese-Americans.

Oka, a Japanese- American with a spotless service record, to membership in the organization. Colo- nel Miller, commander of the Nisei 442nd lnfantry Regiment in Italy, said, As com- mander of these Japanese-American troops, I can say that no finer soldiers, no finer Americans are in the United States Army. These men are entitled to the same treatment accorded to other Amer- icans, for we can win the war only to lose the peace because unthinking Americans violate the principles for which we live and die. Educated people see beyond racial characteristics, and all people must realize that Americans of Japanese for any otherl ancestry are Americans, should be treat- ed as Americans, and must be allowed to enjoy the privileges that are the heritage of all Americans. Will veterans of Japa- nese ancestry have to wear their well- decorated uniforms the rest of their lives to prove that they were and are loyal Americans? Will the Japanese held in re- locations centers lput there in violation of one of our most fundamental American rightsl have to stay in such centers to be safe physically and secure mentally?

Although JC is noted for the excep- tionally brilliant students it bestows upon this crude world, after a period of two years per person isome students like to stay a while longeri, even the best of us like to periodically escape from the more solid material presented in most class- rooms and, incidentally, in the school newspaper. All this boils down to the fact that we have had numerous requests for a gab and gossip column. We have purposely shied away from such because most gossip tends to be muddy or merely foolish. But rather than have a dissatisfied customer, we shall condescend for this issue. The campus barroom for the Student Unionl has been chosen as our Specimen of the Week. ln one corner is Geraldine, our beloved juke box. Many nickels and slugs make her beat out songs closest to the heart. . As we, student union major No. 5903, watched, we found that the songs played reflected either the c h a r a c t e r or the thoughts of the nickel-owner. Here's Our Hit Parade lno order of sequencel.

The Junior College deserves credit for blazing a pioneer trail in the field of race relations in this region. By showing that democracy can and must work right here at home, the college is doing a better job of teaching than by any book course it could give. At that, though, a good course dealing with our various nationali- ties and the problems and contributions of each in our modern world would clarify things for many. If JC students would get together and organize a Cosmopolitan Club like the ones you find at almost any of the large progressive universities, it would really be a fine step forward. R.

Do we believe in democracy? I submit that it makes no difference what we be- lieve if what we believe makes no dif- ference. In other words, what do we do to further democracy? Will we stand up for that in which we believe? Sergeant Wayne W.

Fortune, April, 1944, quoted him as saying, I am just as willing to die a political death as I am to die in battle to preserve American freedom. Are we willing to show the way of true American spirit to thoughtless people who should know better? Are we willing to stand against those who would destroy the es- sence of Americanism by dividing us race against race, creed against creed? L. T.

During this time he saw service in Panama, New Guinea, Australia, New Britain, Woodlark, and the Philippines. His final campaign was the Luzon battle which was a major part of the entire Philippine liberation. Phil Fagan spent thirty months in the Army Air Forces and was a night fighter pilot. During this time he flew the Black Widow and Night Lightning models among others. During the last six months of his service he was an instructor. After interviewing well over a dozen veterans we finally found one who saw service in Alaska. Miles J. Herrod spent ten months of .his thirty-three months service in the Kodiak sector of Alaska. Miles tells us that in Kodiak, the rumor goes, it rains thirty-four days per month. Bob Maholchic has thirty-one months service to his credit and was a member of DoolittIe's highly publicized Eight Air Force. He was in England eight months but contends that English puIchritude does not begin to approach our own. Cadet Glenn 0. Stapley, though still on inactive status in the navy, is now at- tending PJC. He was a V-5 student for twenty-eight months studying the art of flying. Most of his flying was done in SNJs or, to you ex-Army people, AT6s. THE DEAN'S OFFICE Your attention is called to the ob- servance this Saturday of Navy Day. You will find announcement of the de- tails on the bulletin boards. The first seven weeks are over, and it is time to map your campaign for the rest of the semester, making the necessary adjustments to carry it to a highly successful finish. There should be quite a turn-out at the first regular school dance of the year, scheduled for tomorrow night in the gym. Every student who can go should do so. You may invite a guest who is not a student at PJC if you wish to do so. Since there are more women on' the campus than men, a lady is privi- leged to invite a friend as companion. Both student and friend should be familiar with the' college traditions, and should carry on the splendid social functions that have been associated with college life.

As the weather did not permit astrono- mical observation, the clubs spent the evening experimenting with radio send- ing and receiving sets. Later in the even- ing, refreshments were served, while the members played phonograph records. The members unanimously decided to hold their club meetings concurrently the first Thursday of every month. They also decided to hold their social activities jointly, and agreed to open membership to anyone interested. This year's officers for the Astronomy Club are president, Sibyl Lehmann, vice- president, Barbara Tice, secretary-treas- urer, Norene Cooker, social chairman, Lu- cille Hoff. President of the Radio Club is Wayne McDonald, vice-president, Wilbur Hoff, and Bill Bartee, secretary-treasurer. Mr. D. F. Stone is the sponsor of the club. O Gene Redewill Plays Before JC Assembly Mr. Gene Redewill and his violin were enthusiastically received in last Tuesday morning's assembly. His numbers includ- ed, l-lark, Hark, The Lark by Schubert, Habanera by Sarraste, Tambourim Chinois by Kreisler and a . Rhapsody which was of great interest especially to those attending JC last year. The com- position was written by Mr. Redewill him- self and dedicated to Sidney Tretick, last year's music instructor. This was the first performance of the beautiful piece. Miss Marjorie Miller accompanied Mr. Redewill on the piano. Harlin Cook made an appeal to the stu- dents to contribute to the World Student Service Fund at next Tuesday's assembly. Motion Picture Poll Shows Students' Preference A poll on motion picture preferences conducted on last Monday in the various English classes showed an overwhelming choice for the motion picture Claudia featuring Dorothy McGuire'and Robert Young. This picture is expected to be shown soon in the PJC auditorium under the auspices of the Visual Aids Commit- tee. A tabulation of the votes showed Jane Eyre with Joan Fontaine and Orson Wells as 2nd choice, How Green was my Valley with Maureen O'Ha.ra, 3rd, The Count of Monte Cristo with Robert Donat, 4th, The Plainsman with Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur, 5th, and ln Old Chicago with Tyronne Power, Alice Faye and Don Ameche, 6th, One class suggested that mothers keep the baby home if they wish to attend the movies since their crying is usually a great annoyance. The poll was a success in displaying a concensus of opinion along the motion picture line and will serve as a guide for future polls to determine student opinion at PJC. As usual 4 illiterates polled the wrong answers in the wrong columns and 3 wise boys contributed their wise cracks to justify our belief in human nature. Mr. Smelser, Chairman of the Visual Aids Committee, has thisto say in regard to the poll: The committee is going to take the results of this poll very seriously and hue closely to the student opinion, as closely as it is possible making, perhaps, a few changes if the committee feels it is necessary. o David Murdock Scholarship To Be Offered Students The David Murdock scholarship in music will be offered to anyone in Phoe- nix Junior College who can meet its few elementary requirements. This scholar- ship consists of two lessons per week throughout the school year. The award is given annually by the Orpheus Club in honor 'of the late Lieu- tenant David N. Murdock, who was a former student of Phoenix Junior College, assistant director and then director of the Orpheus Club. Lieutenant Murdock attended the Uni- versity of Arizona, receiving his Bache- lor's and Master's degrees in music there. He entered the service in in 1941 as a private, joined the Commandos, and in two years became an officer. He died in action at Sicily on August 11, 1943. Anyone interested in trying out for the scholarship may obtain an application from Miss Miller in the Dean's office this week.

D avid Eisenstein Beavers, Bettas, And Better Worlds Once upon a time ,there was a wide river with a great dam across it. The wa- ters of the river became violent very often, and the dam necessarily had to be repair- ed and improved constantly. And so a dam school had been estab- lished on a tributary of the river. ,Each year after the little beavers had been taught as much background as their home dams afforded, the parents of the more eager beavers and even those who didn't have such eager beavers but did have a lot of wood shavings, sent their little beav- ers to the dam school up the river. This higher education was to teach them how to build, repair, and improve their own dams and the big dam, and how to lead their fellow beavers in cooperative efforts in living. But the little beavers each time would huddle together in frightened g r o u p s formed of those from their home dam, attempting nonchalance and at t i m e s group superiority. The big established beavers at the school informed the little beavers that the dam school was founded on the democratic principle, that they should associate with one another like a big happy beaver family. And all the big beavers and all the little beavers nodded their heads wisely and agreed. And so all cliques were abolished. Everything proceeded splendidly for a while, until late fall when it began to ap- pear that there .was a long established tradition land tradition is not a thing to be scoffed ati in big dam schools that one of the aims of a better dam building edu- cation was the furtherance of each little beaver's knowledge in his relationship with his fellow beavers. Of course, the best way to learn this was to practice it with the type of beaver with whom he would later be associated. They were told that to be chosen to be a member of a cooperating group of your kind of high class beaver was an honor and a privilege, a social duty, a pleasure and a great step in finding yourself and your place in so- ciety-and after all it WAS' the thing to do. So, after much democratic debating and picking and choosing, the established beavers chose those who, they thought, would do the most to add prestige to their name, and the little beavers chose the group they thought would add the most prestige to their names. Somehow some of them got togetherz. the beavers with the finest coats, the beavers who had the most technical knowledge, the eager beavers, and so on all in nicely chosen little sec- tions where they could learn to cooperate with their own kind and do honor to each and their good name. ln this way the little beavers enjoyed themselves for the next few years. When they returned home educated leducated beaversl they took their place in beaver society, and they were always proud of having been Builda Betta Dams or Helpa Fella, Beavas or whatever they had been at dam school. The strange part was that the big dam and the small dams continued to yield to the waters, and all the beavers continued to be at a loss-for what to do about it ex- cept rebuild them as before-in spite of the social-intellectual forest parties and the book-club discussions. G.M. FROM THE READERS Dear Editor: Permit me to express some observa- tions of mine through the columns of Bear Tracks. If these observations are in error, I hope to be enlightened by stu- dents of teachers who know better. I have accused some of my students of being hypocritical of their fellows. Some of this criticism falls, unfortunate- ly, upon the apt and conscientious student because of his aptness and conscientious- ness. Students accept my accusation but justify their attitude toward the brain. Some people call this attitude The in- tolerance of mediocrity or The great levelling process. Some other printable names directed against high-ranking stu- dents are: book eaters, midnight oil- ers, pets, drips, kilIjoys, and the like. Two years ago a highly intelligent girl just out of high school told me she'd rather be called a thief than a brain. A high grade on a paper scared her to death. But most students are grade seekers, and we can't blame them because too LETTER FROM THE EDITOR October 27. Dear Students: Upon viewing with consternation the fallen faces accompanying the much pub- licized HaIlowe'en Dance, we herewith make this gentle inquiry: Why is it nec- essary for a dance to degenerate into a heated lbut amatuerishl jam session mere- ly punctuated with a few pieces played for dancing, or why, when we hire a dance band, don't we get one? The disorganization of the band last Saturday night may be explained by the fact that it was not the original band chartered, but was deformed of pieces picked at random from other bands. The pieces has had no previous practice to- gether. This, in itself was unfortunate but need not have resulted in the farce pre- sented as an orchestra. There seems to be a real difficulty in obtaining a band not entertaining some lperhapsl ethical prejudice against playing danceable music. While interesting them- selves solely in self justification as bro- thers-under-the-skin to an African cricket, with the weirdest conglomerations of un- adulterated noise imaginable, piteous re- quests to play something slow fall upon deaf ears. There will be more dances, and those who attended this one will agree that it will be necessary to either educate local bands or to substitute in some way. JC dances used to be really good. We believe the spirit is still good. Certainly the committees arranging the dances do wonderfully, But, this all holds little at- traction when the main feature is only a band gone native. THE EDITOR. often we educate them to be more inter- estedlin the symbol than in the real-stuff. So, very few students can honestly crti- cise a good student by calling him a grade hound. Nor, in my experience as a teach- er, have I found justification for the in- tellectual-snob slap. The very best stu- dents I have known have been exceeding- ly modest. Many good students derive great pleasure from learning and there- fore don't feel the need for social pleas- ures. We should try to understand them. Shouldn't the student have the right to choose his pleasures? Why brand him as a hermit? Anyhow, maybe we could use a few gilt-edged hermits if, out of their hermitage, comes a little light for a dark wlafld. This intolerance falls most heavily upon the co-ed. She has a special cross to bear, and we men are mostly to blame, admit it or not.

Many girls don't relish the pros- pects of a single life so they act accord- ingly. If my observations have any merit, I want to suggest something for us to think about: Public education is a means of civilizing people, an intelligent way of in- doctrinating us into accepting the best the past has to offer and into approaching change with a minimum of prejudice. The public invests heavily in this self-preserv- ing effort, teachers' and students' re- sponsibilities to the community are cru- cial. We realize this when we stop to think. With few exceptions, then, should not the logical butt of our criticism be the student who takes his responsibilities lightly? Respectfully, JOS. N. SMELSER. P.S.-My remarks are not directed against any particular student body, but against most of the student bodies I have known. Dear Editor: Oh, for heaven's sake, don't let us have anything in Bear Tracks which would re- flect the classroom in any way. Let's dump that stuff as soon as we get out of the door and devote our time to making our progressive little paper a perfect tintype of bobby-soxish high school rags. After all, we just can't have people .thinking that we are learning anything in this place, so here's a great big cheer for And In This Corner! Let's keep up the good work-Roger, Wilco, and out! A Sophomore. music had everyone dancing, though there was hardly room to move on the floor. Granted there is a considerable differ- ence in size, still there is no comparison whatsoever in school spirit. Few had dates at the University but stags found com- patibles soon after arriving. I think the stags had a better time than the couples. At any rate, no one clung like a vine to the wall. - - ' Our spies at home reported that those who got up enough energy to come to the dance found this extra effort well repaid, What few friends they did meet made up a gay party. But, sadly, there was more echo than noise. It isn't that we do not have the facili- ties here. The number of the student body makes no difference as to how much noise can be made. We have some wonderful hog callers. We secretly decided that our JC gym - always decorated - was much nicer than the huge basement in which the 'U' dance was held. lf you men don't know any women out here suitable to you, even better, bring someone you do know, and better still, come stag.

Atlantic Monthly - October - Democracy Comes to Poland-Anna Louise Strong. ln the article Democratcy Comes to Poland Anna Louise Strong relates the story of the forming of the Polish under- ground government, which later was en- larged to form the basis of the new Polish government. Miss Strong was the first American to go into Poland after the in- vasion of the Red Army. Her descriptions of the formation of the people's army and the Rada Narodowa, the underground gov- ernment, are informative and interesting. Miss Strong also tells of the dissension between the Home Army, sponsored by the London government, and the other partisan groups which were more pro- Russian in their sentiments. Along with the new, more democratic form of gov- ernment came the land reforms, and Miss Strong describes how this worked inrone county. PJC Vets Continue With An Overseas Roll Call RICHARD STOKES, formerly with the 158th combat team, served 4I months overseas in Panaina, Australia, New Gu- inea, Dutch East lndies, Noemfoor, and Luzon. He reportsthat his roughest cam- paign was the'Wadke-Sarmi battle in New Guinea. L I Still another pilotiat PJC is LELAND CHASE. He is from Corning, Iowa, and he has spent twenty-six months in the Army Air Force. Most of his flying was done in Arizona and California, which all goes to show that, if a person once goes west, there he will stay. MANUEL GUERRA, Bear Tracks re- porter, was a member of a specialized in- terpreters' squadron for American-born Japanese and was the only Caucasian in his outfit. These men were being trained for translating work to be done in the Pacific Theatre, and, in the course of this training, Manuel spent four months in the Caribbean Theatre, including Cuba. Pre-Optometry student ROBERT JEN- KINS is an ex-sailor. He was a radio op- erator for seventeen months and was sta- tioned at Puget Sound.

THE DEAN'S OFFICE The response to the appeal for the International Service Fund for Stu- dents was gratifying. Perhaps those who got the greatest pleasure out of contributing to this fund were those who deprived themselves of the little luxuries or necessities in order to help a student in some less fortunate cir- cumstances. There is such a crying need for intelligent men and women in this world, particularly where the ravages of war have all but destroyed education.

I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, i945 No. 8 Hospital Training And Study Fill Days Ot Cadet Nurses Fifty of the feminine students seen on PJC's campus this year are Cadet Nurses, now in training at Saint Monica's Hospital in Phoenix. These fifty girls are divided into 3 groups, each having reference to the time they started their training. Al- though they are from all over the U.S., they signed up for training in the West. The first group, whose president is Rosalyn Porter from Kansas City, began training in October of I9-44. The second group with President Lorraine Parker from Phoenix ia former student of Tempe State Collegel started training in February of l945. The third group, headed by Becky Nourse, began its training in July of l945. Miss Nourse is from Tucson and attended the University of Arizona last year as a freshman. Cadet Nurses are on hospital duty 5 hours- a day. On the days they don't at- tend classes at JC, they follow an 8 hour a day schedule. Their subjects on the campus are pharmaceutical math, micro- biology, anatomy, and chemistry. At the hospital they go through general nurses training.- The student body list of Cadet Nurses includes Alta Arpan, Ida Bakke, Verna Becker, Jean Bellanger, Elaine Benson, Effie Brown, Elisabeth Brown, Isabel Bus- tamante, Virgie Coats, Ruby Daniels, Den- ice Desjardins, Georgia Dickson, Bette Duncan, Ida Elkins, Jocie Eto, Vera Gilli- gan, Patricia Harrison, Mary Hext, Audrey Hogan, Rose Holden, Gloria Hudson, Mild- red Jones, Ethel Locke, Rosalie Locks, Lucy Manuel, Ellazora Martin, Virginia Mashaw, Julia Mattill, Mary Milardovich, Gertrude Miller, Becky Nourse, Mary Orr, Mary Pappas, Virgie Parker, Carolyn Peters, Floritta Petite, Seymana Poleeson, Erma Pollard, Rosalind Potter, Mabel Pres- ton, Margaret Ray, Lilly Reddy, Flora Rose, Mary Stanberry, Evangeline Streec- ter, Patsy Trainor, Ruby Vinson, Lois Wad- lington, Doris Whinery, and Virginia Wender.

After 3 years of inac- tivation because of war-time scarcities, and combination in a tri-lingual foreign language club, Le Cercle Francais emerges from comparative dormancy with tri-color Fleur-de-lis' symbolic of the French Re- and the customary initiation public gaite that has made the French Club one of PJC's popular organizations. The traditional voyage, an imaginary trip to Paris and part of the initiation, carried the neophytes to L'arc de tri- omphe, Champs Ellyses, Jardins Luxum- burg, and Cafe de la Paix. Esther Boedecker was head of the food com- mittee and Manuel Guerra head of the initiation arrangements. Frank Crawford, Joe Beckman, and Gertrude Mack aided in the initiation. Club officers are Emma Jean Lourdeau, president, Esther Boe- decker, vice president, Sylvia Furst, treas- urer, and Norma Metcalf, secretary. Miss Jean Hunter is club sponsor.

Bears' Tentative Schedule Assumes Definite Outline Coach George Dutch Hoy reports that games of major importance in the Arizona intercollegiate basketball picture have been scheduled by PJC's ambitious Bears. The U of A Frosh have been tentatively booked for a four-game series, two games of which will be played on each court. The state's only other junior college, Gila Junior College at Thatcher, has been scheduled definitely for four games al- though the dates have not been named. Each team will play host for two games. The Arizona State Colleges at Tempe and Flagstaff, will be contested providing they do not have to make use of Freshman players on their Varsity line-ups. In 'some schools the man-power shortage has made Frosh. teams out of the question. . Feelers have been extended to the fol- lowing coast colleges for inter-state games: Chaffey, Citrus, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Riverside, Pomonaj' Glendale, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Oceanside, Long Beach, Compton, Los Angeles City Col- lege, and San Bernardino. It would not be feasible to play every school listed here but enough games should be drawn from these possibilities to add luster to an already fine tentative schedule.

U v David Eisensfein November Eleventh, Day Of Next Sunday is Armistice Day, a stark reminder to the world of an aborted peace, 'of more than three decades of frustration and chaos. The symbol of the illfated Armistice andthe bludgeoned body of the peace which it ushered in on its shield assumes daily the proportions of a final warning to mankind that there CAN'T be any 'more stalemates after the world's struggles, ruefully labeled by hypocritical world leaders as Peace. Peace is now a matter of table stakes. lf a real, just, lasting peace doesn't win out this time, it's highly doubtful that there ever will be another chance for it. With justified irony the two greatest American leaders of the last two genera- tions can smile bitterly as they watch the events of the world take shape. These events ominously foreshadow a mock peace which will debase the noble ideals for which the world fought so heroically and paid such a titanic price. Woodrow Wilson in his Fourteen Points gave to a world, sick with disillusionment and groping for ideals, a cause worth the cost that victory demanded and ideals worthy of symbolizing all that the l9l4- l9l8 struggle called forth from those who wanted ,a democratic world. But the men of measured measurements, with nar- row aspiration and non-existent inspira- tion, the idea-less - they broke 'the man, the ideals, and the trust of office. lt was they and their inadequacies which dominated the twenties and let the peace die. Some of them even assisted active- ly in its destruction. The crimes of these men are crimes of both omission and com- mission. The other great American, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, was the embodiment in the eyes of the world of all that the United Nations 'endeavored to achieve from the throes of the conflict. ln the seven months since his death, VE-Day, the San Francisco Charter, the Potsdam Conference, the atom bomb, VJ-Day, and the London Conference have taken place. These are great events. They should each be a milestone of achievement on the road to permanent peace. But dur- ing these last seven months a dangerous Hope - Or Of Foreboding disintegration of the world unity which he sought to establish has been apparent. Brave New World ln the Balkans we still have the powder keg situation where the interests of Rus- sian'seIf-defense clash with the desires of the wqstern nations to bring about a gov- ernment of the people which is broadly representative of all the parties. This is the same ideal for which we have shown a remarkable lack of concern in such in- stances as in Franco-Spain and the Far- rel-Peron dominated government in Ar- gentina. Beyond unenthusiastic rebuffs we have done nothing. The whole of Asia is in turmoil from Palestine with Arab-Jewish dissention through lndia lin a situation of cronic 'starvation for freedoml to Indonesia and French Indo-China where vast numbers of colonial peoples who were so naive as to take the Atlantic Charter seriously now revolt against a return of the colonial masters. By these they have been held in supression and exploitation for over three hundred years. The Atlantic Char- ter has long since been forgotten - con- veniently? The Twentieth Century Elect Underscoring every difficulty with the desperate urgency of speedy solution is the atom bomb. Latest estimates are that in another war the use of the atom bomb would prob- ably destroy about two-thirds of the world's population. This wouldn't des- troy civilization, say many experts, be- cause enough books, enough people with technical knowledge, and enough other sources of civilization would survive that the lucky third, the Twentieth Cen- tury Elect, left could go on being civil- ized. The whole trouble with another would be a little hard on the two thirds war is that the use of the atom bomb who are disposed of by it. Blind or Wise Action What is needed is a general realiza- tion that we can not keep the bomb a secret. Every day that passes is a day AND IN THIS CORNER . . . There seems to be a great deal of con- troversy concerning the cut system at JC. Since the subject is of real consequence, we shall herein explain the whys and hows of the system as it stands at the time of this publication, Last year a system was used in which a number of cuts corresponding to the number of hours carried was not counted against the permanent record of the stu- dent, but absences over and above this number brought about a considerable loss of grade points. This system has been used for a number of years and was based on the assumption that a certain number of absences were actually un- avoidable. Unfortunately, this system was found to be unsatisfactory because each student seemed to feel obligated to take these unpunished cuts. lt was during this time that teachers began to count off, on grades, the absences. This, in itself, was very fair and almost necessary. The faculty held a meeting to decide what should be done about the excessive number of cuts in classes. As it was felt that this was a serious handicap to the continuity of the course, a committee was appointed to 'investigate the system used by other colleges and to inquire into other aspects of the problem. That a cut system,is needed is obvious. However, that two should be in effect at the same time is rather over-powering. Cutting is usually inexcusable, but oc- casionally it is necessary. The students generally feel that the quality of their work should not be pushed aside by an overlong consideration of their capricious attendance. One's attendance does not reflect one's intelligence. It is the general opinion that one or the other of the two should give way. D.K. lost in the struggle of mankind to achieve a peaceful existence and to go ahead to- ward the goal of ,a fuller, more creative life in a better world. We should use the little time we have left to make a stronger world organization which is after all the only promising way to keep a world peace. But to use wisely the little time we have, everyone 'will have to bear responsibility for the peace. lt will require resolute, enlightened leadership and, among those who lead, a spirit of determination to find a basis for new world' order which will embody the principles of justice and right together with fundamental respect for human freedom. lf we continue drifting, as we are now, the themes of noble ideal- ism of which we made our victory hymn Continued on page 3l BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 3l LET ME LIVE -and the reporter said to the editor, But they don't like to read our kind of editor- ials and they would rather read a gossip column than any other kind of coIumn. -and the editor replied, Aye, little one, and it is sad. But let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there were two medium sized bears, Up to a certain time, both of these bears had dined on berries alone-and they were good. One day they moved, of their own free will, to a country which contained many honey bee hives. For a while both continued a berry diet.. Then they decided, since there was so much around, they would try some honey. Of course, the first at- tempt was a little on the disastrous side. Though honey was very good, it was very hard to get. Bear A concluded: 'l've eaten berries, berries are good, berries are easy to get, I've eaten honey, honey is good, honey is hard to get, I will stick to berries.' Bear B concluded: 'Berries are good, easy to get, honey is good, hard to get, maybe I will get better at procuring honey if I keep trying.' Bear A ate berries. Bear B improved his technique at obtaining honey. Bear A was happy, he knew about berries. Bear B was happy, he knew about berries and honey too. But a great plague descended on the country. Bear A and Bear B were both quite ill, but after a little time had passed Bear A succumbed to the dreaded pestil- ence. He gave up the ghost. After some struggle Bear B returned to full health, in fact he emerged in better -condition be- cause of this struggle. An autopsy was conducted on Bear A. The verdict-malnutrition, a lack of con- centrated sugar content in the diet. so you see, said the editor, we must de- cide betwixt publishing a paper indicative of the thought college endeavors to in- still--that is, to cultivate new tastes, or publishing a paper that caters to the readers' past tastes, and the little one asked, What shall we do? and the editor replied, We will publish honey. G-M. Continued from page 30 will collapse into chords of disasterous cynicism, bitterness, and disillusionment. Perhaps the most pertinent reminder to the leaders and followers of the world is that, if the world is to be saved from a bumper harvest of sorrow, it is vision, not disillusionment, that will save the peo- ple from perishing. -KU - X if L Penny Tossing Sophomore Assembly Antics In response to a gentle hint from Mas- ter of Ceremonies Harlin Cook, the Sopho- more Assembly clinked merrily with pen- nies tossed by the enraptured audience. For thirty minutes the auditorium rocked with howls accompanying the mostly musi- cal numbers. ' Included in the program were the fol- lowing: Jackie Salyards presentation of a piano solo, Concert Impromptu by Adams, a dance given by Betty Heflin and Betty Sawyer accompanied by Harlin Cook. Jackie Salyards and Barbara Best played a piano duet, Hungarian Lutspiel Overture by Keler Bela. Elizabeth Land presented two vocal solos, When Myra Sings by A. L. and The Song is You, by Jerome Kern and a pantomime of a girl at the movies, culminating in her being thrown out, was acted out by Billie Mae Brown. Clair de Lune by Debussey was a piano solo played by Barbara Best. New Social Commissioner Named By Executive .Board Louis Hallman has been appointed as social commissioner for the duration of the first semester following the resigna- tion of Arlene Mathew. Arlene was elected to this position in the first semester of last year, and did such a splendid job, that she was again asked to handle the responsibility this semester. The students are grateful to Arlene for all of her hard work. Sophomores, Please Note You may see your picture in the Bear Tracks office during Activity per- iod every day except Tuesday. Please come in to select the one you wish published in the Annual. Those sophomores who have not yet had their picture taken should make an appointment lwith Denny Lourdeau. Executives Invite Language Department's Aid In Drive Books for the bombed-out libraries of Russia will be obtained from the student body with the aid of the English and Ian-' guage departments, the Executive Board decided in last Thursday's meeting. Literature from the Russia Book Relief Society was presented to the Board by President Harlin Cook and Secretary Pat Parker to assist in furthering the drive. During the discussion which followed, Dr. Hannelly said, In the interest of co- operation and world peace, our contribut- ing to the drive would be a great step forward in the enforcing of peace. It will be to our interest now, as future citizens, to contribute to this society because, by helping others such as Russia to become familiar with the United States, by our cultural advantages and literature, we will be able to contribute greatly to world peace-it is to our intelligent self- interest. THE DEAN'S OFFICE Monday, November l2, will be ob- served as Armistice Day. To every col- lege student it is more than just another day. It signifies rejoicing and the hope of closer relationships of man. Wars are the product of unsatisfactory government and not ,off unsatisfactory people. If and when people keep and exercise their powers there will be no more wars. Classes convene at 8:00 a. m. Tues- day. Evening classes will not be affected. This week's orchid goes to the Ex- ecutive Board for its good work in organizing and conducting the cam- paign for the International Student Service Fund. In the assembly 556.66 was collected. The Executive Board is really an im- portant factor in the life of the school, We are indebted to them for many of the fine things we have done. AMS Vetos Reestablishment Of Frats For Present Time The vote of a large majority at the.last meeting of the AMS decided against the reestablishment of JC fraternities for the present. This was said to have been. done because of the lack of men students and the lack of interest.

Frances Hull, Betty Hef- Iin, Dale Welker Tomorrow Also Thanksgiving is traditionally known as the end of the struggles of the Pilgrims. They had triumphed over Nature and Man combined to set every obstacle in the way of their ideal of unity and well-being for all. Thanksgiving was a pause in which all heads were bowed in profound relief that they were free to pursue these ideals. lt was a period of mental and physical solace before plunging once more into the heartbreaking labor of building a civilization out of nothing. The Pilgrims do not have a monopoly of thanksgiving The victorious in ev- ery actual and moral battle experience it, the defeated in every conflict feel a re- lease from the strain and are once again able to go about their work of living. What better time is there than now to appreciate this emotion? The world has staggered out of the most horrible and extensive conflict it has ever suffered. We have emerged from the most enervat- ing, prodigious struggle in the history of man. Yet, the skeptic queries, Are we through it? The cynic remarks, Man has always fought and shall always fight. His grow- ing intelligence and understanding serves only to invent for him more final and complete ways of exterminating his fel- low man. The pessimist says, What have we to look forward to? The atom bomb which will devastate the entire world in one sweep? The quick suspicion exemplified in all great and small nations attitudes to one another? The endless quarreling of countries which have been fighting for years, and which seem to have forgotten the meaning of the word 'peace,' and which are fighting again? The philosopher sighs, l have watch- ed this for centuries, getting worse each time. Who can doubt that there will be another war and that it will be final? The bitter one snarls, Only one way to stop all this. Kill all the beasts of this war, and kill them the way they have killed us. The moral coward temporizes, They aren't bad people: they were pushed by circumstance. Let's just forget this and give them a chance, It won't happen again. Has A Sunrise The man on the street, a combination of all these, found in all nationalities, and confused by his conflicting opinions, moans, The forces are too big for me. I can see what is wrong with the world, but what can I suggest that might be bet- ter? His answer would come from within himself if he could only hear it. His com- mon sense whispers, Those other men are just like you. They want about the same things you want. They are just as good and just as bad as you yourself are. What would you do with you if you were in their place? How, he wails, how can I treat the man who killed my son the same as I would treat myself? Remember, murmurs C o m m o n Sense, You killed HIS son. The man on the street thinks, By golly, why can't we win a peace with the same enthusiasm we won a war with? We are better equipped for peace than for war. We have a bigger stake, a great- er incentive. We haven't been forced to run like the Pilgrims. We've stayed and triumphed. His thought grows deeper. We won the war because we had free thinking men to fight it. The end of the war didn't bring the end of them. Can we win the peace with the same weapons, free think- ing men? I have a say in this world. I am a free man. The little countries 'squab- bling' now have as much right to do as we did in l776.A Are we through with the war? Of course not. War is not over until the causes of it are removed from the minds of the peoples it involves. Man has always fought, hal And why not? It takes 'fight' to down old things, to make way for new. Our only problem is to co-ordinate the fight, all in the same direction. Our tools? The intelligence and failures of the ages! Our aims? A world, not a sphere inhabited by foreign nations. ls the time not appropriate for intel- ligent people to give thanks that they have an unusual opportunity to participate in the building of a true and lasting peace? Have we not much more to work with and for than did the Pilgrim Fathers? D.K. Slatten. The entertainment was a scaven- ger hunt climaxed by a picnic supper served by Kathleen Riordan, Mildred Fer- guson, Margaret Dudley, Jencie Watkins, Geraldine Riordan, Patricia Parker, Alice Jean Ryan, Julie Farrell, Emma Jean Foord, and Miss Stevens, sponsor. 'I58tl1 Combat Team Returns Many Veterans To College Roderick Shaw, a former PJC student has returned to JC this semester after serving for twenty-eight months in Pana- ma, China, India, and Burma. He has been at one time or another a member of three of the more famous organizations of this war: Arizona's Bushmasters, Merrill's Marauders, and The Mars Task Force. Another ex-sailor is Charles Wallis from Louisiana. He was a naval electrician for twelve months at San Diego. Tommy Kearns saw six months service with the Seventy-Eighth Infantry at Camp Roberts, California. Frank Feffer, Jr., one of the many flyers at PJC and a former student, has returned after flying thirty-four missions over Europe as a bombardier in a Flying Fort- ress outfit under the Eighth Air Force. The organization best represented at JC is undoubtedly The l58th Combat Team, better-known as Arizona's Bush- masters.

This struggle is -the principal issue in the Chinese civil war. The three Principles of the People, conceived by Sun Yat-sen, were the prin- ciples of the triumphant l9l l revolution. The First Principle was the People's Na- tionalism, aimed at ridding China of the imperialistic control by western nations. The Peoples Democracy aimed at estab- lishing political democracy as we know it. The Peoples Livelihood sought to des- troy the feudal economic system binding the Chinese masses to the land and pre- venting the development of China into a modern, efficient nation through econom- ic progress. The Three Principles and the Sun Yat- sen program of action were radical and revolutionary. The acute problems and struggles among principles have been brought to a crisis by the war. American policies of Lend Lease have speeded industrialization of China. Land owners have recognized the impact upon the ancient civilization that new western ideas have made, and fearing it these land owners are fighting to retain the old ways and the old con- trols which benefited them for centuries. The poverty-stricken masses have seen flourishing black market supplies tran- sported over the Burma Road for the wea-lthy, while the rank and file soldiers who fought the invaders went without equipment and essential arms. Black market goods often got transport prefer- ences, The stupendous inflation has ruin- ed everyone but the immensely rich. These things have tended to bring the complex situation to a point where it must be settled. The present civil war is es- sentially the manner destined to bring about the settlement. Basically, the Communists have in- herited and carried on Sun Yat-sen's tradi- tion of revolution. In contrast, the Na- tionalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek have come to terms with the forces of reaction and have compromised with the Kuomin- tang to further the purposes of the feudal landowners. M.H. ....o Golfers Sought For A Team Entering Tucson Tourney A plea for lady golfers to enter the Tucson Tournament on December' 8, came last week from Miss Herron. Any JC girl interested should see Miss Herron or Pat Parker, girls' golf manager. ,At least two more girls are needed to complete the golf team. ABOUT THE MOVIES With this issue of Bear Tracks comes the first of a series of movie reviews compiled from leading newspapers and magazines. Bear Tracks wishes it understood that these re- views are compilations of views for which it does not necessarily assume responsibility. Kiss and Tell, starring Shirley Tem- ple as a typical bobby soxer with the com- plications of teen-age life, starts its Phoe- nix run tomorrow, and from all reports, it promises to provide plenty of laughs and entertainment. Time reports that this movie makes it fairly plain that parents cause more trouble than they're worth, and in the same view, Nation contends that the plot is held together through the gossip and well-meant concern of typical suburban parents. PM believes Kiss and Tell to be of the Janie type which is never quite believable and where you live at a terrific but non-dangerous clip, while parents raise their hands in holy horror and even in neighborly fisti- cuffs. The younger bracket stars are as Hentertainingly exaggerated as some of the prattle you hear in school buses these days. Those who enjoy fast, hilarious comedy will probably be well satisfied with Kiss and TelI. P,P, l.O i. Home Ec Breakfast Survey Reveals Poor Eating Habits According to a survey made in the Orientation classes during National Break- fast Week, 70 percent of the freshmen at JC eat less than a good breakfast. Nu- trition classes who tabulated the survey described a good breakfast as one consist- ing of fruit or fruit juice, preferably citrus, whole grain enriched cereal or bread, but- ter or fortified margarine, milk, and from Basketball Team Improves Despite Loss Of Ten Men Coach Dutch Hoy reports that he is well-pleased with the improvement shown by the members of PJC's basketball squad. At present he has twenty athletes working out regularly in preparation for the ap- proaching season. Particularly fine progress has been made by George Owens, Louis Hallman, Dario Travaini, Robert Kimes, and John Hennon. Les Metzger, Don Douthit, and John Krell are expected to display their usual reliable brand of ball playing during the coming weeks. Players who were forced to quit the squad for one reason or another are Thom- as Turner, Giles Shivers, Francis Nixon, Sylvester Hammons, Robert Stein, Ethmer King, Bill Bartee, Wayne MacDonald, Robert Scholl, and Cecil Scott. Although some of these departures are undoubted- ly excusable, Coach Hoy was generally disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm shown by prospective squad members. These losses were partially offset by four new aspirants who show promise. They are Stan Brookins, Don Dettmer, Jim Hill, and Walter Begley. The entire squad looked impressive last Thursday in a practice game with the team from Papago Park PW Camp. Dance Band Brain Storm Shelved For The Present ln answer to our Roving Reporter's question of why we might not have a PJC dance band, Mr. E. L. Stone, music director, replied that although we have talented students and the necessary in- struments, it has been difficult to arrange for rehearsals and student directors who have the time.

Receiving the majority of votes of war bond purchasers totaling S3,000, Mary Tang was selected as war bond queen to represent PJC in a contest in which eleven states are participating. The first of the contests are to be held in cities competing within the individual state. Then the counties will compete with 75 percent of the appeal being war bond sales and 25 percent personality. There will be one girl chosen from each of the eleven states. These girls will go to Hollywood to have a screen test, radio try-out and a date with their favorite film star. The purchase of one S25 victory bond will entitle the buyer to one vote for the war bond queen. Mary was selected by the four elective members of the execu- tive board in a special meeting held on Friday, November 9. JC Reaches Five-Eighths Of Goal As Bond Sales Zoom Theta Chi Delta is leading JC's sorori- ties in the Victory Loan Drive, according to Mr. Newnam, Faculty Chairman of the Bond Committee. All of the groups are doing a fine job, said Mr. Newnam, but 'Theta Chi Delta is ahead of the oth- ers in volume and in the number of sales. Any individual, whether or not a member of an organized group, may sell bonds simply by securing the bond ma- terial, announced Mr. Newnam. lf every student on the campus could sell just one twenty-five dollar bond, we could easily surpass our goal. Already we have reached five-eighths of our 58,000 goal. BUY MORE BONDS -Ja... Mary Elizabeth Tang THE DEAN'S OFFICE The Thanksgiving season of l945 is one of unprecedented significance. There is a deep sense of gratitude for the things that have transpired in l945. lt is not enough to be thank- ful for the past, we must have a spirit of thanksgiving for the opportunities the future affords. lt means new op- portunities and new responsibilities in a world emerging from the calarnitous years of war. The season for choosing members of the women's societies is approach- ing. There are many values in them, and each young woman should decide for herself the extent of them. An invitation doesn't necessarily obligate one to join. Free democratic spirit provides for free choice in all such matters. The expense isn't great, but students who feel they cannot in- cur this added expense should make their decision without discomfort. . This week's orchid goes to Mr. West, the college gardener, and his as- sistant. Returning students, especial- ly veterans, have noticed and appre- ciated the increasingly beautiful grounds. Of special interest now are the beautiful Japanese Chrysanthe- mums in bloom behind the cafeteria. These were given to PJC by the Jap- anese at Rivers Relocation Center. The Little Bears Come To Life And Speak ln Spanish Los Ositos, the little bears .lSpanish Clubl now under the sponsorship of Mr. Monroe, held its first meeting of the year on Wednesday, November I4, to furth- er the reorganization of the club and out- line its program for the year. All JC students who are interested in the study of Spanish or in Pan-American affairs are invited to join the club. No foreign language pre-requisite is neces- sary. One of the activities discussed at the meeting was the possibility of a Pan- American Forum to discuss current La- tin-Arnerican problems. Latin-American music will be presented: Argentine Tan- gos, Cuban Rhumbas, and Brazilian Sam- bas. Emphasis will be placed on the cultural background of the Americas with special attention devoted to Mexico. Therefore, mis amigos, Joe Carioca and Pancho urge you to Traer nues- tros cantares Con alegria y regocijo Y olvidar nuestros pesares Como un buen vecino. Vol. I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1945 No. I0 Rabbi Krohn Asks, One World Or No World? The goal of life should be, not the survival of the fittest, but the ethically best, said Rabbi A. L. Krohn in an as- sembly talk given on Tuesday, November 27. The Rabbi used two editorials as the background of his talk discussing the sig- nificance of the atomic age and the prob- lems brought about by its advent. The progress of the race, he stated, is a constant struggle to check or control na- tural and cosmic forces and substitute ethical forces for them. The first editorial, by Norman Cousins, emphasized the need for the creation of a permanent peace-time organization with two alternatives cited. We can care- fully survey world conditions and revise them to make an ethical world, or we can destroy everything mechanical and cul- tural, reverting to a society of l0,000 years ago. The Rabbifs most important point was this: The world must realize that all peoplesxare equal members of society, dependent upon each other and for this reason bound together. Provincial man must become a world man. lf there is no one worId, there will be NO world. oztlfillio , . . 1 ?

Theta Chi Delta still leads the organized groups with I9 sales amounting to S3,l75. Mr. Walter Bimson of the Valley Na- tional Bank has announced that the bank will give a S25 bond to the sponsored college group making the most sales, with an additional S25 bond going to the in- dividual making the greatest number of sales. Katie Toy, for the present, is lead- ing the individual sales with 38 sales totaling S3,lOO. Mary Tang follows in close second with 58,925 in 37 sales. Participation for prizes for individual and group prizes will end December 8, and all sales and records must be in my hands at that time. However, sales after that date and up to the beginning of the Christmas vacation will be credited to the college totaI, states Mr. Newman. However, the U of A girls are peren- nially strong, and promise the highest caliber of opposition. Arizona State College at Tempe will be the third participant in the three-way event. Their strength is an unknown quantity at present, but it can be taken for granted that they will field a capable aggregation. The local' girls will be placed at an immediate disadvantage because of the larger student bodies at U of A and Tempe College, but this handicap is hoped to be minimized by superior playing. A tentative list of teams making the trip follows: A large hockey team. Mar- garet Dudley, Caroline Winnell, Mary Lawrence, and Katherine, Kraft will play badminton. Pat Parker and Lyda Branham will compete in golf events. Archers will be Phyllis Saunders, Clarice Bill, and .Dolores Philabautn. Volleyballers include Virginia Gallman, Mildred Ferguson, Charlotte Lubman, Betty Sawyer, Alice Ryan, Kraft, and Betty Algeo. The,teh- nis team will be bolstered by Betty Field, Emma Jean Foord, Barbara Major, Frances Hull, .Betty Berridge, Kraft, and Branham. Lineups may be changed to include other girls before Saturday's big day. Miss Herron recalled that the last Sports Day took place the day before the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. This first post-war event will be significant in mark- ing the nation's rapid return to an all- out peace-time sports program. ' Registration at 9:00 a.m. in the Women's Building will be the day's first event. Miss Herron reports that the Tuc- son hospitality leaves nothing to be de- sired, so a good time should be had by all.

Darkroom Technician ,,,,,,,,,A,,,,,,,, David Eigensfein Assistants .......,..........,, Frances Hull, Betty Hef- Iin, Dale Welker Are Unions Infringing U L YES I contend that the interests of job- seeking veterans are being impaired by Laws of the Unions. The clause of the Selective Service Act which states that A veteran must be returned to his old job or to an equivalent iob ....,.,.... if he is still qualified to perform the duties ...... provided it is 'not unreasonable' for the employer to take him back because of changed conditions ......... seems to have various interpretations. F For example, let us take the case of a discharged private: He goes to the plant with the Skilled Mechanics Wanted sign in front. He boldly walks into the personnel department. 'I'm an honorably discharged vet. Got any job for me? he asks. Ever had a job before? Got any sen- iority? Where's your union card? rapidly fires the manager. Well, no. I got drafted before I had a chance to do all this he stammers. But I thought the draft law says I can get a job right away. Not at this plant unless you've got seniority blandly offers the manager. Next. Joe was confused, but gathered from this conversation that ,a returned veteran who had held no defined iob before the war must go to a non-union shop. Hiring through unions means SENIORITY not VETERAN status determines who gets the job. Problems of reconversion have drastically reduced the number of avail- able iobs, consequently Joe is left out of even non-union shops. Labor wants to keep the control of industry which was acquired during the war. Management wants to regain the control of its labor forces which it held in the past. Organized labor sees that its strength lies in the older, disciplined, union-wized members. Labor does not want to see the few available jobs taken by non-union veterans at the expense of these older union members. On the other hand, Mr. Average Em- ployer is anxious to get from under the strong-arm grasp of the union. He sees non-union veterans are not yet indoctrin- ated by the union and that they have no obligation to it. In the present situation, for who pon Rights of Veterans nothing is too good, is caught right in the middle of a basic conflict between employers and organized labor. He is merely a pawn between the two. - -V. H. NO It is my contention that the rights of veterans are not being impaired by union policies, but in many instances are being protected and furthered. As an instance of protection let us take the question of seniority. The main policy adopted by unions in regard to seniority is that if the veteran left his iob and union to enter the services he should re- tain the seniority he had before leaving and, in addition, receive seniority for the time he was in service. For veterans who have no seniority the unions usually have made special pro- visions. Mr. Wade Church, secretary of the Arizona AF of L, in an interview, stat- ed that unions have, in many instances, waved initiation fees or have made them as nominal as possible for veterans. The veteran entering a new trade-has special advantages because in addition to receiving the union scale of wages dur- ing his apprenticeship training, the GI Bill of Rights provides living expenses for him during his apprenticeship. The amount provided ranges roughly from S50 for single men to S75 for married men per month. Thus he has an adequate income and secures practical experience during his apprenticeship. What is meant by labor's having seized control of industry? Some rumors to this effect have been circulated in the more disreputable newspapers, but has labor invaded the offices of industry and turn- ed management out? Has labor invaded the director's meetings of industry pre- dividends? Most of the coupon clippers are not only re- ceiving regular interests, but are enjoying extras due to war profits, The stock mar- ket is hitting an all time high since l937! lt is hard for everyone to get jobs. The veteran is not the only one suffering from unemployment due to reconversion. Only real prosperity, an economy of abundance, sixty million jobs can solve the problem of unemployment. With respect to the comments in the adjoining column the general trend is to venting declarations of A CHlLD'S GARDEN THE FIRST MEETING of the Coffee Hour has marked another step in JC's re- turn to normalcy lone other bit of evid- ence was the preponderancy of males at said meeting!! The atom bomb tossed in- to the discussion was immediately caught and used to urge formation of a strong world court, to anihilate all NON-AMER- ICAN imperialists, and even to solve the Irish problem .... SIGNIFICANTLY, the only aspect of atomic power discussed was its destructive possibilities. No mention was made of such progressive peaceful uses as atomic advertising, atomic jokes, or atomic dish- washing machines .... UNIVERSAL EDUCATION for peace was urged, one student defined war as just another way of stealing something another has that we want, and another wondered if we bought war bonds in order to provide lend-lease weapons to kill ln- donesian natives. Somehow, UNO got left by the wayside. GERTRUDE SAYS she sat there think- ing about how much more pleasant the hour would have been were smoking al- lowed.

This is bound to happen to some extent, but I question the length to which it is being carried. Such a trend seems un- desirable in that a democracy the main emphasis of living is upon equality, and the trends toward creating a privileged class do not fit into the democratic pat- tern. Why isn't every American entitled to a college education, to the right to a good job, to start a business? Why isn't there an economic Bill of Right for every- one? M. H. BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE ' Page 39 ECCE HOMO One spring day while strolling by a small pond, I noticed that a certain type of beetle had taken over the aforemen- tioned pond. Delving into the rabble of half forgotten facts in the recesses of my mind and remembered that this type of beetle was of the order coleoptera, genera gyrindae. Their genera was described in these words by Lutz, an eminent entomo- Iogist, although they spend most of their active time on the surface of the water, they fly well, if they can ever climb out of the water so as to get a start . . . I took a special interest in one of these beetles and spent many hours watching its struggles. l shall, for purposes of facili- ty, designate this beetle by the letter L. I became interested in L when I noted a peculiar habit L had of attempting, at times, to separate himself from the mass, beat his wings frantically, and essay ris- ing above the surface of the water. For -a long time he merely flopped about, gaining nothing but fatigue and frustration. The other beetles paid slight attention to him, they seemed to have the air of the indulgent parent toward a child with a fuseless bomb. There was a smalllgroup of beetles, seemingly set apart from the rest, whom I had noticed flying a few times. These had not the air of a group who chose not to mix, but of a group ignored, feared and to a small degree, respected by the mass. To this group L went regularly ,with other beetles, and it appeared that their families sent them there, which seem 'strange in view of the attitude that the group inspired toward themselves. After each visit he would return to his attempts at flying with renewed vigor. One day L, after much agonizing effort, rose from the surface of the water, flew a few inches, and landed on his nose. l thought surely this would dis- courage L, but it did not. Soon again L flew, but this time he was seen, first by his immediate family, which, as soon as he landed, gathered about him and began to rain blows upon him. L lay stunned for a long time. lf he had pos- sessed the powers of thought, I guessed that this would have appeared as a great shock, the cause of which he could not have understood. It seemed to me that he had been sent to a group to learn something which those who sent him did not approve of. Paradox, par excellence. Nevertheless, L continued to try, and again he flew-this time a beautiful flight. When he landed a great furor arose in the mass which set upon him and beat him. I could understand L's dilemma. One THE SHAPE OF TOMORROW - The Crisis in France , The emnity between the Communists and De Gaulle which has for a long time smouldered in France burst into flame a few days ago when De Gaulle refused to give one of the key cabinet posts-War, Interior, or Foreign Affairs-to a Communist. According to democratic procedure and parlimentary tradition, the Communists, shown in the recent election to be the strongest party in France, are entitled to one of the three main cabinet posts. De Gaulle refused, saying that due to foreign control of the Com- munist Party, it was impossible to confide in them any ......,.. of the levers that control foreign policy, the diplomacy that expresses it, the army that sustains it, and the police that protect it. De Gaulle feared sharing control of the foreign policy because France must maintain an equillibrium between the two greatest world powers, Russia and the United States. De Gaulle, thus demurring the possibility of influence in Frenchforeign policies, rejects the principles of parliamentary democracy in favor of expediency. But De Gaulle has no great tradition of an over-eager concern for democracy. In the years before France fell, he was a monarchist, now his party, the MRP, advocates a western block of nations, and, on the domestic front, a concoction of Christian morals and limited socialistic economics. In regard to education, it seeks to,turn. the control of the schools over to the.Catholic Church. De Gaulle's only claim as a pro- gressive was when, during the war, he recognized the revolutionary character of highly mobile armaments. The issue in France has served to increase the Communists' skepti- cism of democracy, as they have always maintained that Western democracy is nothingmore than a plutocratic burlesque that benefits the few at the expense of the many. -M.

MlLDRED PlERCE Starring Joan Crawford, Ann Blythe, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott and Bruce Bennett. Diverse opinions of high praise and constructive criticism shroud MILDRED PIERCE in mystery and controversy. While The Nation frankly admits that this movies has but one virtue-that of being very honest, the New Republic and PM express a belief that the directors showed only the selfish lascivious discon- tented side of the American character, omitting the counter balancing elements in American life. Protests to these criticisms contends mainly that Art does not have to con- form and the Mildred Pierces of the screen, howeven crude, are but gropings toward a bitter truth, the realization of which we have been trying to forestall. could see that he enjoyed flying a great deal, but on the other hand he had to live with those who obviously did not want him to fly either. While my Hamlet was in this state, he met a sweet lady beetle, as lady beetles gop they mated and produced. At the end of the summer when L's family was grown and had well entered upon their own cycles, L had taken his place act and think. it should be examined and brought before the audiences, which will invariably express their disgust. The importance of the issue at hand is not the film, Mildred Pierce, but the determination of policy which will prevail in future pictures . . . whether we will see American middle-class life as we would like to have it, or, as it actually is. Mil- dred Pierce is the story of the sacrifices of a mother and the struggles she endures trying to prevent her spoiled daughter from being sent 'to prison for murder, and of her own trials and reacljustments made with her erring husband after his pro- fligacy and dissipation. lt should be interesting to compare our reactions to this movie with those of critics.

This is the story of a wealthy, young kleptomaniac who becomes head over heels involved in a rip-roarin', hilarious conglamoration of jewel thieves, insur- ance swindlers and romance.

With these' observations in mind, I con-' cluded for L that flying was not meant for ordinary beetles like himself . . . and that life kills life. G. M.

He feels that this other oc- cupation, like every other military oc- cupation in history, will eventually end in failure and defeat for the present victors. This writer adds that the same things which defeated the German occupation of Europe lunderground activities, sabotage, propaganda, etc.J will eventually lead to the downfall of the allied armies. He also says, however, that this is not to say that Germany is to be left alone and that force should not be employed. He feels that we should strip Germany of her power to make war and use force to make her live up to all agreements. However, he says that we should use a different kind of force, and he describes a plan which he of the exciting minutes during the game with feels has all the advantages of a military Sitting at the piano is Jackie Salyards and LACC.

The Family Upstairs is a farce, in- volving the love, pathos and humor in the life of a New York tenement house fam- ily. lt revolves about an ambitious mother who trips and ties a sweetheart for her daughter. Her unpretentious and uninhibited family complicate the situa- tion somewhat. Tonight's performers, having had much previous experience, mostly under the direction of Mr. Smelser, promise good entertainment. Jeanne DeVivier plays the part of Mrs. Heller, the anxious mother, Harlin Cook, her cynical husband. Dick Laviitzke por- trays anxious-to-please Willie Heller, and Aird Stewart his charming sister, Louise. Handsome Charles Brooks is Louise's bewildered fiancee, Mr. Grant. Steve Lampropoulos takes the part of a younger Grant and Rosalyn Shipley, their mother. Virginia Harvey completes the cast as the neighborhood gossip. The production staff, all members of the Masque and Dagger, consists of property committee, Julie Ann Gardner, Margaret Gerrard, Marceline Seeman, stage crew, Phyllis Brown, Lucille Hoff, Peg Tallacksen, Pat Lindsay, Laura Green, Don Olliver, Donna McNeil, make-up, Phyllis McClure, Pat Kearns, Betty Allen Swank, Betty Luitjens, prompters, Dora Kline, Barbara Best, publicity, Kline, Harvey.

Today we bring to your attention our efficient, well-managed cafe- teria. We have written editorials denouncing many phases of human endeavor, but we are also cognizant of the many good things about us and some of the best of them are represented on the JC campus. One of the easiest things to which we can point with pride is our cafeteria. Among the things we appreciate most is good food. Nowhere can you find a better meal in quality or quantity for an equivalent price, There is variety each day-good smelling, good looking, and good tasting food to tempt and confuse the hungry students and teachers. In spite of war prices and shortages a high standard of quality has been constantly maintained, The staff remains calm and cheerful despite broken dishes, limited space and slow delivery of ordered products. When building condi- tions permit, a stand will be erected on the west end of the cafeteria for the sale of school supplies and candies, soft drinks, and other cold food. The food is attractively arranged. The building is clean and cheer- ful. The cleanliness is due in part to the efforts of the students. A few minutes, a short walk taken by each student who has finished his lunch leaves the tables clear for the next group. This also keeps food prices down because extra help would have to be hired who would have nothing to do except during rush hour. All this and dinner music too, provided by the generous dancers. Not only does our cafeteria supply us with daily sustenance, but it is their efforts that make the Sophomore picnic, Bear Day, dances, Open House and the school breakfast the gastronomical successes they are. Our cafeteria is more than a place to eat, it is a place in which to live! ' -L. T. I And Still More Vets The first ex-Coast Guardsman inter- viewed at JC this semester is RAY WILLIS who hails from Mesa. He served two years as a radar technician in a land-based radar group. By visiting New York, Chi- cago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco, he acquired a thorough knowledge of United States geography. Among its veterans, JC has discovered another brother act. JOLLY BACKER, sophomore at JC, spent eleven months in the Aleutians before transferring into the Bushmasters. With an anti-aircraft his feet, but the cast is ready. And so goes tonight's performance. Athlete Dick Lawitzke makes his stage debut as a mean lil' kid who grunts every time he has to move. Dick also beats his first weed in The Family Upstairs. He swaggers across the stage, then collapses backstage! Characters will be characters. Virginia Harvey plays the part of an able seam- stress. There is nothing she hates worse unless it be school. Steve Lampropoulos takes the part of a ten year old child. His punch Iine-is Say brother, where's the skirt? than sewing, KDN, Alpha Sig, Phi Lamb, Alpha and Theta caught, roped and branded several calves lpledgesl at the Dryv-ln last night, which marks the beginning of a six week torture test. ' Sororities are fun and have their pur- pose. Dances, meetings and general get- togethers cannot be called boring. Since the school is small, members do not tend tb ignore barbs. For this reason, al- though a sorority pin is coveted, it is not a badge of superiority. lt means, rather, that one has obtained a 'C' average and uses Snafoo Toothpaste. Let us not chuck all of our democratic learnings if found among the chosen few. Although coming home slightly slaugh- tered from the Tucson Sports Tournament, JC women athletes were well-pleased with Phoenix's showing. Their only comment was Wow!

JACK BACKER, his brother, has returned to JC after twenty-two months in the AAF. He served in California, Texas, V Montana, and Washington. Overseas nine months in the South' Pacific, JOHN AUSTIN took part in the Luzon invasion. He was a sailor in the merchant marine twenty-two months and was on board the Solon Turman.

E . l A recent Wednesday night was the il l --'TkAEXff Q l 0 n co evlews urope S scene of a great victory for culture-the greatest concert crowd in Phoenician his- tory had struggled into best dress, hqse, topcoats, exact hairdoes, a sprinkling of formals and fuchsia feathers to see Jose and Amparo lturbi. To a medium-time-arrival-on-the-scene the prospects held forth by thexlooks of the lines were appalling. For a moment he thought perhaps he had come to the wrong place-it looked as though some- thing free were the offering here. But no! So he hunted around till he found someone he met on a bus once and crowded in line, steeling himself for the kill at the doorway. Pretty soon he got inside, took a deep breath of air and snapped back into shape again. Once inside, and l have eliminated several gruesome details-the next door-the gamut of ushers-the people stepped on getting to the seat-he settles comfor- tably back on his tin torture seat. But there is still plenty of time and lots of people to look at and he does. This is much better than the corner of Central and Washington. All kinds of people and all at their best-doctors, lawyers, child prodigies gathering inspiration, and formals in the balcony of the gym. The lights attempted to dim, a hail- storm of applause richocheted back from the walls, designed accoustically for the dribble of a basketball, and there were Jose and Amparo. Mozart and the lturbis were then ac- companied ably and continuously by Smith Brother's background music. Jose was a trifle disgusted, it ap- peared, for he did not flash his 53.00 seat smile when he announced his next number. From that time until the end of the concert, when they gave us one encore, we witnessed a beautiful attempt to insinuate boogy woogy into the realm of the classics. They reached their peak when they boogy woogied Gershwin's con- cert iazz, the Rhapsody in Blue. The second presentation was a satire on modern life and music that turned into a farce. The last movement of this suite, The Visiting Firemen, was character- istic in tone of the major part of the pro- gram-truly an achievement in volume. Two Spanish numbers followed, which contained, if your ears were not already deafened, a few bars of pianissimo, prob- ably a mistake. Of course they played the Ritual Fire Dance for this was what everyone came to hear. ln most concerts, the artist in- cludes a number or two, either in the program or encores that the audience 5 l 1 Q Q get 9 e au' can l B-x , ig 1YWKE,u,,xe.3 Y' B on vw- l l lYear's First Pep Assembly Held With Cheerleader Band When we're good, we're goody and when we're bad, we're lousy, said Coach Dutch Hoy in a brief talk' about the basketball team in the assembly last Tuesday. Cheers and yells were enthusiastically led by cheerleaders Betty Sawyer, Jackie Jirdon, Bill Andrews, and Al Puffer. Mr. Kenneth Hakes led the band in stirring marches and the school songs, which were sung by the entire assembly. Steve 'Lam- propoulos was in charge of the program which was given by the executive board. Students were urged to have their ac- tivities ticket with them at all games in order to be admitted without charge. knows. At the announcement of these, an ecstatic ohhhh arises from the ticket-holders and the artist knows that this time they will know what he is doing-- that he will be appreciated. At this concert, however, the ohhhh was naturally-because everything played was absent-naturally - because everything played was what they had come to hear. I wondered as l sat there why they had paid two or three dollars to hear the same thing that 5.65 would have bought them at the Orpheum. Obviously it was to see the flesh and blood-and to be able to say they had seen it. I concluded this from the multitude of craned necks throughout the concert and the shifting of position from the front to the back when the front seater changed the angle of his head. Hollywood is a wonderful thing. i -G. M.

Cataclysm ' ' Scott, John Europe In Revolution ' Houghton Mifflin Co. Time correspondent John Scott, in his latest book, Europe in Revolution, an- alyzes and presents the European social revolution in an attempt' to bring home to Americans the nature of Europe's great tranformation. Scott feels that America has lived through a world revolution, assisted in the destruction of an old world order, and the birth of a new one, without even dimly perceiving the nature of the great tran- sition. The great historical equilibrium based on private ownership of property which was established by the French Rev- olution has been upset because the Thirty Year's War of the twentieth century has blasted into rubble the foundations of private ownership of property. This has been accomplished by a num- ber of different measures. Problems of defense caused the governments of na- tions to increase their control and owner- ship of productive units. Technological progress and 'market practices speeded up the trend of centralization so that cartels now exert widespread domination of world production. In the wake of Nazi armies totalitarian economists expropri- ated the wealth and capital goods of Europe and transported them to Germany. The incessant bombings and the vast ground war destroyed large portions of European economy. Thus the legal ties which bound property to owners have been so destroyed, radically altered, or chaoti- cally disturbed that it is improbable that private ownership in Europe will ever again become the dominant method of controlling productive processes. In the face of these facts and the grim reality that some semblance of produc- tive order must be wrought out of the con- fusion, the governments of Europe have nationalized much of their economies. The great threat to world unity and cooperation is that America, because it has felt no direct assault upon its borders and has escaped the large scale destruc- tion which has so altered the face of Europe, will not understand the changes in Europe. If America's reaction is to try to suppress these transitions in Europe the world will suffer from another con- flict. Scott feels that it is imperative that America understand the changes in Europe, their nature and causes. -M. H.

Douthit led the Bear's assault on the Navy basket with twenty- five points. In the minor division of the Metropoli- tan League, the JC reserves came frorri behind in the dying seconds of play to de- feat the Papago Park Prisoner of War Camp cagers, fifty to forty-seven. John Hennon chalked up twenty-one points for the Bear reserves. Last night JC took the floor against the Pasadena Junior College Bulldogs, last year's Western States Junior College champs, but the result was received too late for this issue. THE DEAN'S OFFICE Tonight is play nite. The college offers most of its facilities to the com- munity without charge. Mr. Smelser and the Masque and Dagger have a long chain of splendid productions to their credit. The auditorium should be packed for each of these perform- ances. Here is a chance for you to be host to the family by bringing them to the play. A full house adds to the success of the entire production. A few days ago a veteran who was enrolled here before the war came in to discuss his plans. He made nu merous apologies for his previous rec- ord. As we walked from the office he pointed to his record and said, Can't you put that in a less conspicuous place? When he returns second semester, things will be different. This week's bouquet goes to an alumnus, Dr. Howard M. Walters, who transferred from JC to the University of Arizona in l933. After studying there, he graduated from the Univer- sity of Southern California in i935 and is now one of our busy practicingTden- tal surgeons. He has recently con- tributed to the school a fine analytical precision balance, which will be used in the Physics department. Thank you Dr. Walters. We ap- preciate being remembered in this way by our alumni.

The Advisory Committee's purpose is to advise the Dean and The President of the College of campus problems, and it consists of the entire student Executive Board, the President and Dean of the College, the Dean of Women, ex officio, and tour persons elected by the faculty. At present these are Miss Herron, Mr. Cocanower, Mr. Smelser, and Mr. Stewart. It was suggested at this meeting that there was a -need for benches at the bus stop on the west side of the Liberal Arts building. It was turned over to Mr. Myer's Grounds Committee. The problem of rules for smoking was brought to the attention of the committee. After considerable discussion, Dean Wyman appointed a committee of students and faculty members consisting of fstu- dent members? Steve Lamporpoulos, Vir- ginia Harvey, Dario Travaini, and Les Metzger, and the faculty members of the Advisory Committee to make a study of the problem and report the results to the Advisory Committee at the next meeting after the Christmas holidays. PJC Tops In Bond Sales As 4'I OW: Mark Reached PJC has exceeded MOM W: of its goal in the recent bond campaign in which other city, county, and state organizations had a difficult time reaching IOOKXD of their goal. The total of all sales at JC was S32,85O, the quota had been set at 58,000. The leaders in the sale of individual bonds are Katie Toy with 66 sales total- ing S6,7505 Mary Tang, 55 sales totaling Sl3,375j Harry -Dong, I3 sales totaling 52,5505 and Ellen Ong with 9 sales total- ing S2,575. Theta Chi Delta was flrst place in the sororities exceeding its goal of Sl,450 with a margin of 44l.3'K7 by totaling 56,400. The 22 individuals who helped the PJC make this, the last loan of the present war, should be especially proud of the achievements which they have made for PJC. We stand high if not the highest in the percentage of sales in Arizona, stated Mr. Newnam, faculty chairman for the bond drive. PJC will close for The Christmas vacation at 5:00 p.m. today and will reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 2, T946.

A mock fireplace and a man-sized Santa Claus will be among the decorations in the gym for the Christmas formal to be held from 9 to l2 tomorrow night. Invitations have been sent to all faculty members and to the members of the AWS Executive Board from Arizona State College at Tempe. Refreshments will be served.

Wicker furn- iture from the Girl's Lounge will be are ranged around the fireplace for the faculty and the chaperons. Christmas Carols Sung At Assembly By Vocal Groups The familiar music of Christmas time was rendered by a group of mixed voices, under the direction of Mr. Hakes on Tues- day morning in JC's first Christmas-peace- time assembly. The black robe chorus lifted its voice in To Thee We Sing, from the Liturgy of the Russian Church by Tkach. Lull- abye on Christmas Eve by Christiansen, Isolo by Marjorie Meieri. Carol of the Bells, an Ukrainian Christmas Carol by Leontovich, and Bless The Lord O My Soul, by Ippolitof lvanof. The Sacred Singers, composed of eight girls under the direction of Mr. E. L, Stone, sang two numbers: While Shep- herds Watched Their Flocks and Nati- vity Song. The chorus concluded with God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, Shepherds Shake off your Drovgsy Sleep, and an arranged version of Silent Night, Uanie Higgs soloing.7 .

Though to many of us Christmas has been so commercialized that the sound of the word brings to mind first Christmas necessities and respon- sibilities, we all still feel a glow on that day when we remember the man who was so good that he and his name have been worshipped for nearly 20 centuries. There is something about a Christmas season that puts smiles on faces and tears in eyes as people say Merry Christmas to people they have never seen before and wouldn't notice at any other time. There is something in the air which makes cold noses turn searchingly to the sky, when no one is looking, to see if there is a noticeably brighter star than usual up there. There is something in their eyes that tells them there is. There is something in their hearts which laughs with their fellows rather than laughing aloofly at them. The Christmas Spirit is famous from many carols and tales, but it is even better known by the people whom it touches. lt has been bred into man for this one season so that he thinks it is part of himself, but it was instigated by a man who practiced it at all seasons. We have at- tained his ideal for some fifteen days, and sometime we shall attain it for all days. Any suggested topics-or comments- would be welcomed.

They were fighting the mad dogs, who after the last war, because of the feeling of insecur- ity and frustration, developed paranoia in the form' of delusions of grandeur and persecution.

This resignation followed a speech made on November 26 by Representa- tive De Lacy when he introduced a reso- lution into Congress supported by six West Coast Congressmen. In this speech De Lacy deplored the State of affairs in China, attacked Hurley for purging ex- perts on China from his embassy and for Hurley's strict press censorship. In a Senate investiation it was brought out that Hurley acceded to Chiang's de- mand that Stillwell be removed, and that Hurley's policies had brought about the resignation of Gauss, an eminently quali- fied State Department official who had worked to bring about unity and democ- ratic reform in China. Alexander Uhl brought out in PM, on November 29, that Hurley played the game of 20th Century American Imperial- ism. Hurley has attacked the British, French, and Dutch in that they have at- tempted to squeeze America out of the Chinese markets. An interesting parallel between Hurley's views and the views of Henry Luce, advocate of making this century an American Century, was brought out on November I9 when LIFE published a long letter from Hurley in which he endorsed a LIFE editorial, China, What Price Peace? The Senate investigation of Hurley's charges have yielded nothing. Hurley per- sonally has demonstrated his quick temper and his inability to back up his charges. It is to be granted that the State De- partment is in dire need of revamping. Doubtless there are career men in the State Department participating in faction- al intrigues and who place their personal destinies above that of the nation. It is most advisable that these be weeded out. Still remaining to be acted upon is the resolution introduced by the six West Coast Representatives. lt called for a positive, well defined policy towards China aimed at aiding the Chinese in the creation of a unified, progressive, and prosperous democracy. A footnote which may someday become a headline to this affair is the item that these men de- manded of the State Department, that the full text of the American translation of China's Destiny be furnished to them and to the American public. This book Shek is the Chinese dic- Kampf. It has a wide China, but the English by Chiang Kai tator's Mein circulation in translation has been suppressed. -M. H.

Most of the rabbits fell for this too but they could also see that their country was in great danger if the cats should lose, and so they consented to ally themselves with the cats for the duration of the war. ln the capital city the big hares were seated about the council stump racking their hare-brains for a device by which they could sell bonds to the rabbit people to prevent inflation and in a measure to finance the war. The conversations went something like this: What'll we do? l don't know. Why don't we tell them it is a war to preserve democracy? They don't know what it means and besides, it's been done. Well, how about telling the people about their personal danger if we don't win? Oh, we can't do that. They wouldn't believe us because they haven't had any bombs dropped on them yet. Well, then, why don't we tell them the truth? What is it? Well, if you care to know the reason for the war, just in passing, l'll tell you. This war really is a fight against a form of madness which manifests itself in race- hatred and the worst kinds of super- nationalism. Oh, now wait a minute. You know you couldn't sell bonds with an appeal like that. It's got no glamour-no pull- it's reasonable! Oh, say, fellas, l've got it! You re- member Long Haresby, the singer? He appeals to them, He has a bigger follow- ing than anyone else in this country. Why don't we hire him to tell them that he believes in the causes of this war-of course he doesn't have to mention any- and that he buys bonds to prevent infla- tion and to purchase tanks and that in ten years-say this will get 'em--in ten years we will give them back four for every three they loaned us. Of course, we'll have to increase the taxes to pay them the extra, but they won't see that. They never do. Fine! Excellentl Stupendous! So Long was hired to sell the war to the rabbits. He sang them all the songs they liked to hear. And naturally, because they liked his singing, they believed what he said-which was very easy because he didn't say anything. lt was a glorious and noble war indeed-and all the little rabbits bought bonds and financed the war they did not understand. -G. M. DEAN'S OFFICE This is the season of good cheer and good will. The friendly feeling which is so genuine on our campus is even greater as the Christmas season approaches. l'm sure that the faculty and students bespeak for you, every individual student, a very happy and the holiday season. Any books you may The library will not be open during the holiday season. Any books you may wish should be taken out today. The office will be open December 26 to December 3 l, inclusive. This week's poinsetta goes to Mr. Smelser and the Mask and Dagger club for the splendid production of The Family Upstairs. The cast, sup- ported by other members of the club, gave a realistic portrayal to an appre- ciative audience. A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR Bears Defeat Californians Two Out Of Three Games Coach George Dutch Hoy's fast- breaking Bruins were successful last week in winning two of three games played against California opposition. On Thursday JC drubbed the highly-touted Bulldogs from Pasadena Junior College, last year's Western States Tournament champs, 62- 54. The Bears came back Friday to down the Glendale Jaycees 46-43, then went down to defeat at the hands of the same club Saturday, 57-50. The local boys were impressive in the first half against the Pasadenans, but weakened somewhat in the late stages allowing the Bulldogs to narrow the Bear margin to 2 points. However, crucial last- minute field goals iced the game for PJC. Les Metzger and Don Douthit led the Bruin assault with 32 and 20 respectively. The first game with Glendale was in- tense and proved to be anybody's game until the last seconds. The score was tied at the half-way mark, and the game ended with the Bears holding a 2 point margin, Metzger connected on a charity toss after regulation playing time to give the Bears their 3 point edge. Metzger and Douthit again led the Bears at the basket with I5 and I4 points. In the second Glendale game the Bears appeared weary from the two previous nights' tilts, and were beaten by the well-balanced club from California. Coach Hoy remarked that the Glendale team showed more promise than any Coast aggregation seen here this year. Mitsch, Glendale sparkplug, collected 32 points in the TWO-game series. Metzger and Language Clubs To Mark Holidays With Gala Parties The Spanish Club, whose officers are president, Charles Cartledge, vice-presi- dent, Sally De Lama, secretary-treasurer, Virginia Mincks, and publicity chairman, Manuel Guerra, will enjoy a Latin-Ameri- can supper at the home of Miss Sally De Lama on December 2lst. Cugat re- cords of various countries comprised the musical entertainment. El club espanol desea a todos sus miembros una feliz navidad. Le Cercle Francais held its traditional program of the year on December l9th in singing French carols around Phoenix. The French language with all its art and grace added a unique color to the pageant which made this experience one of the pleasant memories of PJC student life. The members of the club exchanged gifts and were later served refreshments at the home of Miss' Hunter, sponsor. Je vous souhaite, mes amis, un joyeux Noel. The German Club, Der Deutsche Stu- dentenverein, met at the home of Miss Elizabeth Swihart on Wednesday night, December l9, to sing German songs and Christmas carols. ln past years the Ger- man Club has celebated the Yule season with German Christmas carols and has en- ioyed the capture of this spirit by their interpretation of the German language. Miss Campbell is the club sponsor. .i-.TO.t Choral Groups Entertain Extensively During Season For the JC Mixed Chorus and Sacred Singers, the Christmas month has meant spare time taken up with rehearsals and classes missed while they gave perform- ances at various meetings and programs throughout the city. To finish their busy schedule, the Sac- red Singers will sing for servicemen Sun- day afternoon in the USO, and on Sunday night will entertain guests at the Camel- back lnn with Christmas Carols. The Mixed Chorus will take part in the annual Christmas program at the Valley Bank on Monday afternoon. These two groups have participated in over twenty-four different programs and performances in celebration of the Christmas season. Douthit proved the Bears scoring punch with l8 and l7 points respectively, in the last Glendale game. PJC's Bruin reserves went into a tie for top place in the minor division of the Metropolitan League Monday night with a 53 - 36 triumph over the Phoenix Indians. Ted Smith, Indian forward, took scoring honors with l6 points, while Baysol Tur- ner and Danny 'Sheets led the Bears with twenty-six points between them. Hllll VOL.

Up to last Tuesday the Bears could claim a record of seven wins in twelve games against college and Metropolitan League opponents. The Bears reserves fell out of a tie for top spot in the minor circuit by drop- ping a 50-39 tussle to Naval Air Trans- port from Sky Harbor on Monday night. Sailors started fast and led all the the The way in a game marked by heavy fouling on the part of the Bruin reserves. Jerry Reed paced the Navy marksmen with fourteen points, and the Bears were led at the basket by Dan Sheets with eleven markers. Klontinued on page 541 . Committeemen Recommend Unrestricted Smoking Outside Bldgs., Quad. A recommendation for unrestricted smoking 'outside PJC's buildings was un- animously approved in a recent meeting of the Advisory Committee. A second recommendation, also meeting with un- animity, provided that students discourage smoking in the Quadrangle. Additional motions made and added were that rules against smoking in the buildings be strict- ly enforced by both students and faculty, and that containers be provided for the west entrance of the Liberal Arts building and the east entrances of the Science building, These recommendations will be submitted to the Board of Education for consideration. Discussion of a request for permission to charter a bus for JC students who wish to attend the Compton basketball tourna- ment was postponed. President E. W. Montgomery proposed that steps be taken toward future action on a Union building. Dean Wyman ap- pointed a committee to begin plans to be reported at the spring meeting. .. ..O .,..

We were unable to show you a picture of Mrs. Hoy as the result of circumstances beyond our control, but we hope to have one for you in our next issue. Hoy Weds Mildred Ringblum Coach George lDutchl Hoy surprised and delighted members of the faculty and student body when it was announced that he had married Miss Mildred Ring- blum on December 28 in the Grace Lutheran Church. ln the informal cere- mony, the couple was attended by Mrs. Bernice Dugan, sister of the bride, and Elmer Enewold. Having completed a week's trip to Los Angeles, they are now living at i229 East Moreland Avenue. Mrs. Hoy, who graduated from Junior College in Burlington, Iowa, worked with the Army Engineers in Panama for two years. Recently she has worked at the Rivers Relocation Center and at Williams Field for one year as an accountant and statistician. o Newest Faculty Wives Honored The new faculty wives will be honored at a tea on next Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 in the Club Room. The affair is the first activity of the recently organized Faculty Wives, a group made up of the wives of faculty members. Mrs. John Forrest, Mrs. Kenneth Hakes, and Mrs. George Hoy are to be the guests of honor. Mrs. E. W. Montgomery and Mrs. H. B. Wyman will pour. Faculty Wives are this year under the chairmanship of Mrs. C. D. Cocanower. Mrs. J. I. Stewart is secretary-treasurer. Skin Tests And X-Rays To Be Given Next Week On next Wednesday, January I6, skin tests for tuberculosis and Valley Fever will be given by the State Board of Health to any student who wishes to have them. Those under 21 years of age must have the consent of their parents. Miniature X-rays will also be given at that time, and are required of all students. Those who have already taken either of the skin tests and had positive reactions will not be urged to take them next week, but if results of either were negative, they are strongly recommended to do so. It is hoped that students will be handled at the rate of IOO an hour, and a tentative schedule has been made. Students whose last names begin with a letter from A through D will report at the Health Office at 8:55 am, E through L at 9:45, M through R at I I 120, and S through Z at I2:l5. Results of the tests will be de- termined on Friday, January l8. Dr. Kurlander, Miss Gueralnick, and their staff will be in charge, and Dr. Randolf, the school physician, will cooperate with the State Board of health in the follow-up work. The Board of Health makes these tests as a part of a state-wide campaign for the testing of IOOWJ of Arizona's citizens in an attempt to check the spread of this disease. At a future date, as yet undetermined, the Salt River Valley Blood Bank will give PJC students an opportunity for having their blood tested to determine its type. Student Body Elections Are ln Progress Todoy During the past week petitions have been circulating for nominations to the various school offices. Climaqcing this ac- tivity was the introduction of the nom- inees in the nomination assembly 'yester- day. The candidates for office are as follows: for president of the Student Body, Barbara Best, Esther Boedecker, and Dario Tra- vaini, for vice-president, Louis Hallman and Steve Lampropoulos, for treasurer, Don Landy and Norma Metcalf, and for secretary, Dorothy Fannin and Virginia Harvey.

Equally elating are the statements Johnston made on the subject of the imperative need for industrial democracy in America. We believe that RAYMOND SWING DESERVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE for carefully balanced, intelligent commentary on the events of the day. His presenta- tion is sensible, analytical, highly reliable, and his conclusions are remarkably logical. His Friday broadcasts, devoted to the atom bomb and its implications, have done a great deal to keep us abreast of affairs relating to the atom bomb and its control. The most interesting event of the New Year to date is the RADIO ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT TRUMAN, January 3. It is rem- iniscent of F.D.R. that a president should have to take Congress to task, and appeal to the people to put the screws on their represen- tatives. On the whole the speech was very fair and considerate, it lacked vindictiveness and gave Congress the go ahead to whip up a program of its own to solve the problems the nation faces. It was brought home to us that this is an election year in the reaction of the opposition party in claiming that the speech was an admission of the President's party's inability to successfully cope with the situa- tion. All addicts of the Coffee Hour appreciate the excellent FOOD AND DRINK PROVIDED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF ETA CHI as part of their service program. Eta Chi is sponsored by Miss Stevens. ONE OF THE BIGGEST HEAD- ACHES OF THE YEAR IS THE AUTO STRIKE. The issues be- come more complicated daily and unwillingness of any of the par- ties to cooperate dooms the strike to a prolonged struggle to a long drawn out battle with no one really coming out ahead. The most con- fusing maneuver to date is the refusal of General Motors to open its books to a fact finding com- mittee which would NOT disclose the contents of the books to the union or the public, and consider as a factor in wage increases the cornpany's ability to pay increases in wages. It was announced Tues- day that the Kaiser-Frazer Corpor- ation had agreed to a contract with the UAW granting the union's de- mand for a basic wage equal to that of the Ford Rouge plant- highest rate of pay in the auto- mobile industry.

That's a joke, sonll were apprehended on Janu- ary 2, after an exciting chase led by the famous detective, Guilty Conscience. Bear Tracks gave him the first clue as to possible whereabouts when it re- ported a group oficell mates contemplated attendance ot a local Christmas Dance on December 22. Conscience arrived upon the scene promptly at nine pm, but alas, he had lost his list of suspects. However, a helpful bystander, Verne Cook, assured him the rumor that any fugitives would be present was groundless. Then he re- membered that he had torn up his list in mistake for a dirty piece of Kleenex. I-le tore home, untore the torn pieces, tore back to the site, but, alas, it was l2:Ol. A record crowd had come and gone. Con- science then and there vowed to cook Cook. Not until the thirty-first could Con- science get another lead. But upon that fateful night lnow dubbed as 'The Last Fling' or 'I Don't Feel So Good, Mom' by mournful prisonersl, he read all his pocket detective books, spit on his get twice, ate an extra spoonful of Spookum Serial and took out to capture the erring wards. A peculiar odor, and the fact that he had read somewhere that birds of a feather flock together, led him straight away to Sick Pulis' hangout. Sure enough. Lefty Lubman saw him first and screamed. I.Q. Faulkner was too weak to move, but Port Hole Porter quickly hid behind Dario Ima Meanie. Mess Metzger bravely threw Carrie Marilyn at the detective, but he missed. Licorice Landy and Steve Lamprobably, not wanting to be left out, hit each other until Steve started crying. Guilty C. craftily swung onto the chande- lier and hit everybody still standing with an empty rootbeer bottle. lt was so simple, he said simply.

Q 4 U ffOGRES5 ppoe RE ss BEAR TRACKS-PHoENix iunioiz cou.EGE page 53 ECCE HOMO There was once a lady parrot, whose name was not Polly. Her name was Sara Bellum. By a strange set of cir- cumstances, which l shall not relate, be- ing irrevelant to the tale, she had learned to talk. Now as you know the greater number of parrots do not talk, but as you prob- ably do not know most of the parrots who talk, or at least the parrots in Sara's country who talk, are male parrots. But as has been said, Sara talked. Not, how- ever, as the parrots of her sex, who jabbered, screamed, and gawked fparrot word for parrot soundl. They gawked about their feathers, the latest styles in tail designs, modern perches, the new gawk songs and the singers, and the atrocious prices charged for cuttlebone, and male parrots. Sara talked of the whys and the wherefores of the great realm between life and death. At first the pure joy of talking blinded Sara to everything but her discovery. Time passed, as it always does in stories, and she began to notice that the attitude toward herself was not a desirable one. She was shunned and ridiculed by the females and merely shunned by the males, the gawkers AND the talkers, which was the unkindest cut of all. Now parrot society was so constructed as to place an excessive amount of em- phasis on the beauties of friendship, chivalry, the game of love, marriage, and the family as the basic unit of society. Every book, picture, movie, song, maga- zine, conversation, and thought contained this major premise. All the joys of talk- ing could not hide the fact from Sara that she was missing this necessary part of life. Slowly she came to the realiza- tion that it really was her talking that did it, for it set her apart and elevated her and this apparently was not in keep- ing with parrot ideas of feminity. And so Sara, as a concession, gave up talking, at first a little bit, later all of it. Of course, she then acquired that neces- sary part of life that she had missed. This acquisition, for it is a complicated matter to achieve everything in the books, magazines, songs, pictures, and conver- sations, even a small part of it, took a long time, and as you know parrots live to be very old, so it really was quite a few years. When Sara had achieved the results ex- pected of her by society and tradition, she thought she would take up where she had left off and talk again, and she found she had forgotten how. -G. M. I , AND lN THIS CORNER tContinuecl from page 523 Forgetting his mission for a moment of glee, Conscience decided to walk to the Camelback Tavern, On the way, he spied Dead Eye Delno behind a palm tree. She carried him the rest of the way. Although it was only ten o'clock when they arrived, Hooga Hoggan was kissing everyone, Recognizing the brand, Con- science rushed up to her and said lf you'll go for a ride, l'll give you a parole! She hasn't been seen nor heard of since. Bean Tonneman ran out the back door and sped away on Ketcherside's tricycle. Conscience finally escaped from Hog- gan. Spying an open window, he crawled in. As stories always go, he found the leader of this mass break. There, having a horrible nightmare that Esperanto had been adopted as a universal language, was Senorita Camel! Seizing a rope, he tied her firmly to the bedstead, to return for his package when he had more time. Waving his magic wand, Conscience arrived at the Maple Tree Theatre. Crawl- ing in on all fours he resembled a dog, and was therefore undetected. lt was fate which enabled him to arrive when the Remarko Sisters, Arlene, Norma and Florence were doing their number. Take it off, take it off he shouted, but he really meant to say Break it up, kids. ! We are sorry to say, but our reporter joined the marines before he had a chance to finish this story. We repeat, however, that all offenders have been ap- prehended and are being punished se- verely. They are all on a six month diet of textbook and water. Although it has not been confirmed, it was reported that the three most danger- ous inmates were seen lurking about the Country Club. lf John D. Boone, Mama Berridge or Decline happen to read this we urge them to return at once. The in- stitution is sad without you. -V. H. TH E SHAPE OF TOMORROW -Five of the members of the American delegation to the meeting of the United Nations' Organizations General Assembly have arrived in London. These members are an interesting assortment of Ameri- Cansf VEPVGSGHHHQ many diverse interests and points of view, but all passionately concerned with world peace and interna- tional cooperation. Most of them are familiar personalities. Those who ar- rived in London are here identified: Edward Stettinusi was Secretary of State under both Presidents Roosevelt and Tru- man. Previous to holding this position, Stettinus had been Undersecretary of State under Hull and before holding this office he had been head of the United States Steel Corporation. He was head of the American Delegation of the San Francisco Conference. He is also chair- man of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee. Senator Tom Conley is a second mem- ber in London who was present at the San Francisco Conference. He is also chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Vandenberg was also present at the San Francisco Conference and is a ranking Republican' member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Van- denberg is a former leader of isolationists who has become a powerful exponent of American cooperation in world affairs. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of Presi- dent Roosevelt, has indicated in a state- ment released in London her interest in the Economic and Social Council of the UNO which has been pushed into the background by the Security Council which has been the focus of attention due to its importance as a possible instrument for international control of atomic explosion. John Foster Dulles is a former lawyer for Wall Street interests who wrote Seven Pillars of Peace. He is an advisor to Governor Dewey' and represented Mr. Dewey in the conference at Dumbarton Oaks. Still to arrive in London for the General Assembly meeting are Secretary of State Byrnes, Congressmen Bloom, and Eaton, Senator Townsend and former Postmaster Frank G. Walker. -Myles Hill Community Sing To Be Held In Next Tuesday's Assembly A community sing, featuring old songs, well-known songs, and new popular songs, will be the main event of next Tuesday's assembly.

Bears in League, College Games lContinued from front pagel JC tackled the Luke Field Dukes Tues- day night but the result was too late for publication in this issue. The Bruins have been victorious four times in six Metropolitan League starts and are in the number three spot in league standings. This feat is remarkable in that the Ieague's remaining five teams are composed large- ly of former college stars. Against college opposition the Bears have broken even in six tilts. They copped three out of five games from California junior college foes and dropped last Sat- urday night's encounter to the Tempe State varsity, 46-36. Last Friday night the Bruins downed the Marston Supply boys, 48-45, in a game that more closely resembled foot- ball than basketball. The Beers held a commanding lead at the halfway post and plainly outclassed their huskier opponents as far as basketball went. Ip the late stages, the Marston club footbaIled its way into a threatening position, and the last few minutes provided many gasps. The triumph was an empty one for the Bears as Les Metzger, star center, was injured and could not participate in the Tempe game. Without his services the JC club trailed the Bulldogs all the way. Dick Lawitzke, Don Douthit, and Dario Travaini carried the scoring load for the Bears, while Joe Goodman, Norman Ray, and Bob Neely each scored nine points for the Dogs. THE NEW BOOKS , The POST BIOGRAPHIES OF FAMOUS JOURNALISTS edited by John E. Drewry is a collection of profiles of the American leaders of the Fourth Estate. All the fabulous figures who control, own, edit, and write columns for the news- paper empires and the great sheets which mold public opinion are found in the POST BIOGRAPHY. Included are tear driers for the sobsisters land brothersl, the human interest writers who relate the cosy incidents, the chit chat, and the latest recipe with whom no one could differ, the slanted hyper-opinionated col- umnist whom only a few of a certain vein of thinking can read without pulling hair, and the tycoons with one brand or another of social outlook who own the great dailies and through them sell their views. The POST BIOGRAPHIES makes fas- cinating reading ranging as it does from the highly informative to the frivolous. -M. H. This book is to be found in the English Reading Room. Three Times a Grandfather. For the third time Colonel Myers has become a grandfather, and also for the third time, that grandchild is a boy. The boy, Donald Clyde Gauthier, is the son of Colonel Myer's daughter, Martha Mae Myers Gauthier who graduated from JC in 1938. Donald was born on January 2, exactly two years after his older brother, Theodore James. THE DEAN'S OFFICE With pride we may point to Mr. Newnarn, Barbara Best and their com- mittees on the success of the Eighth Victory Bond Drive. The results were far beyond our expectations. The so- rorities alone sold more than our orig- inal goal. Particular credit goes to Mary Tang, Katie Toy, Harry Dong, and Alice Ryan, members of the Blue Star Brigade of the Eighth Victory Loan. Aptitude tests for all new students will be given at 1:00 on Friday after- noon, January 25. Keep this date be- fore you in case of inquiries that may come to you. Registration is January 28 and 29. There is a steady stream of return- ing servicemen and women through the offices. The new enrollment for the second semester is to be larger than it has ever been in the history of this college. We will try to meet the needs of students wherever there is a suffi- cient number to make a class. There- fore, make a preliminary registration before the final registration day. We have several students who will need rooms for the second semester. Will you please report any rooms that you may be able to share to Dr. Gib- son. You might find the experience of sharing your room with someone else both pleasant and helpful. This week's orchid goes to Coach George Hoy, who on December 28, married the charming Miss Mildred Ringblum.

Campus Smoking O K'd Except In Buildings Superintendent Montgomery has an- nounced the school board's decision to al- low smoking by students on all parts of the JC campus except in the buildings. The student members of the advisory com- mittee suggested and the entire commit- tee voted to established a tradition of no smoking in the Quadrangle. At this meeting of the Advisory com- mittee were Mr. Al Johnson, Mr. Charles Hoover, and nine young Chinese officers who are engineers in the Chinese army Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hoover, who are promoting the Victory Clothing Collection campaign in Phoenix, discussed the cam- paign with the Advisory committee, ask- ing their cooperation with regard to JC. Dario Travaini, Esther Bodecker and Les Metzger were chosen by the Executive Board to handle the drive. The Chinese Officers were visiting JC and ,various other schools collecting knowledge about ways to run schools in China. They were said to have been fav- orably impressed with the American School system. The Executive Board also made ar- rangements for the placing of several me- tal cans for cigarettes and decided that card playing in the Student Union was legitimate as long as no money is involved.

Frances Hull, Betty Hef- lin, Dale Welker On January IO the FIRST MEETING OF THE UNITED NA- TIONS ORGANIZATION CON- VENED in Westminister Hall, London. Delegates represented fifty-one nations and supposedly the hopes for peace of the whole world. Here, by some quirk of fate equivalent to gambler's luck, we have been given another chance, A chance to build from the deluge a world for us to live in. Perhaps the last chance, according to Prime Minister Attlee and Spaak lnewly elected U.N.O, Assembly Presidentl to use all the wisdom we can glean from the past, for use in the present, to assure a fu- ture. The atomic bomb is, both in fact and figure, the symbol of our dread need for a working world organization. The time is past when each nation can turn inward, and proceed by itself, un- mindful of the rest of the world. The time has come to abandon social, economic, and political laissez-faire in international af- fairs and replace it with a planned design for living, conceived and executed by the people. With the political complexion of each nation as the primary col- ors Irunning from the black right to the red leftl we wonder what kind of a world picture will result. Will there again be a map of pas- tel conglomeration with this color too close to an unmatching that color? Will the pink of England, the green of the United States, and the red of Russia clash? Or will some harmonious blend be found by these world artists that the whole map may not again be submerged in blood? While in London the victorious leaders plan a world organization, the VICTORIOUS BUT DIS- GRUNTED G. l.s STAGE PROTEST against forgottenmanism. The game is over and the chessmen want to get back in their boxes. They ask why they must be left in Europe and the South Pacific after the final whistle has blown. The people want the soldiers at home. Why? Because that is where they were before the miserable game started. That was normalcy. What kind of a game is this where you leave the players on the field after you've won? But if the people on the home front and the soldiers on the war fronts would stop to analyze the paradox of the U.N.O.'s purpose -that of going forward to the consolidation of the world into a brotherhood of nations-and their own purpose-that of going back- ward to an isolation of nations in competition for the world-they might begin to see that something is wrong somewhere. They would see that it is impossible to go backward and forward simultan- eously. They must find the facts and decide in which direction they are going to go-because one movement makes a farce of the other-a farce that portends of tragedy. It is impossible to build a world order and not participate in it. We extend our CONGRATUL- ATIONS TO THE NEWLY ELECT- ED OFFICERS ofthe student Eo,dAy l AND IN THIS CORNER... Rumor has it that a student body elec- tion was held last week. The only dis- turbance caused by this election was the rattle of papers being handed over to the luckier candidates by first semester of- ficers. A pin would have sounded like an atomic bomb around the polls. I say luckier candidates not because the new officers have no possibilities, but because they were lucky to be able to lure enough voters over to the polls to vote. We did not hear one platform, nor one serious campaign. If candidates took the negligent attendance of the student body at the nominations assembly as an indica- tion of election interest, then perhaps campaigning was not in order. At any rate, something was amiss. If we are to become intelligent citizens in a democratic country, we might well begin as intelligent students in a demo- cratic school. We should seize every opportunity which affords us experience. One of the fundamental rights of a true democracy is the right to vote. The right to vote in a school should be a privilege and an honor, not a task. Digging is going on among the relics of the war-torn men's social clubs-frat- ernities, that isqin, an attempt to rebuild the ruins. The Campus Scuttlebutt tells us that if proper materials are found, Tau Omega will be the first club activated since l942. After offending campus regulations for six years, it should be of smokers' inter- ests to note that Tobacco Road has been made legal. No more asphyxiation or palm burns when a faculty member strides across the parking lot!

Part of this revolutionary program em- bodied the promise of freedom for lndia and a program of revising Britian's entire colonial' policy. Yet very little, other than preliminary preparations, has been done toward altering Britain's policies. The reason for this is that the very exis- tence and destiny of Britain is inexorably bound up 'with the future of lndia and the colonial system of the world. The dilemma in which the Labor Party is involved illustrates vividly the difficulty in weaning a mother country from her dependencies, for military and economic ties become very close and the relation- ships evolve into extremely complex prob- lems. It would be very desirable from the British point of view--a point of view quite independent of who holds office, Tories or Laborites--that the economic ties between lndia, Burma, Malaya, and Britain be unsevered and that the econom- ic status quo be preserved in spite of what- ever political alterations are affected. Re- liable estimates indicate that approxi- mately one quarter of the United King- dom is dependent, directly and indirectly, upon the economic-productive arrange- ments between Britain and lndia. Were this arranement to be altered suddenly and without careful planning for such a con- tingencythe result would be chaos to the entire British economy. The Laborite Government is pledged to freedom for lndia. Yet it is unfair to de- mand that this freedom be given to lndia by Labor in an immediate action-fool hardy and without preparation-whose net effect would be to totally wreck the British economy. Further, is it desirable that the British leave lndia to the feudal and absolute rulers-the Maharaias? lt seems that it would be more desirable to work out a constitutional arrangement whereby the princes, if not deprived of their thrones, at least are converted into constitutional monarchs with their powers curbed. M.H. iContinued from page 56D Smoking is now prohibited only on the insides of the buildings, lt was of inter- est to this column to note that it was the students, rather than the faculty, who wished to establish a tradition concerning the Quadrangle. Smoking in this area will be frowned upon. Some students still think smoking habits are questionable ieven though they themselves indulgei and prefer to hide. AUD I ABOUT TH E MOVIES Bear Tracks wishes it understood that .these reviews are compilations of views fonwhich it does not necessarily assume responsibility. Our sources of movie reviews have not carried reviews of either of the features showing at two of our local theaters. Those pictures are, She Wouldn't Say Yes and Dakota. The Lost Weekend, now showing at the Palms, won the distinction of being chosen as the year's best film. The 9-8 vote in favor of it over The Story of G. I. Joe was demonstrated on the sixth round by voting of the Newspaper Guild, an organization composed of critics from ele- ven of New York's newspapers. Playing in the best movie was Ray Milland, who was voted the year's best actor, and in the same balloting Ingrid Bergman was chosen to represent the year's leading actress for her performances in Spell- bound and The Bells of St. Mary's. The Navy and Army fact films, The Fighting Lady and The True Glory, respectively, were voted the best of their type, and Billy Wilder, who collaborated with Charles Brackett on the screen adapt- ation of the novel, The Lost Weekend won the critics' award for the best direc- tion ofthe year on the screen version of it. P.P. Due to drops in temperature, discrep- ancies in transportation and dreamy rec- ords in the SU, most of the legal cuts show a balance red by now. The si- tuation has an alarming as well as humor- ous aspect to it, The more shortsighted students, now hard hit by the flu plague, find it inadvisable from the stand-point of grades to stay home. This explains that Bedraggled Look so common on the campus this week.

The JC club started at full strength with Don Douthit and John Kreli at forwards, Metzger at center, and Dario Travaini and Dick Lawitzke at guards. The Bear Varsity drubbed the Luke Field Dukes, 60-41, Tuesday before last, and walioped the Marston Supply quintet last Monday, 51-42. JC dropped a disputed tilt to the league leading Funk Jewelers Wednesday night, 2-O, when Coach Hoy pulled his boys off the floor in the third period after a ques- tionable referee's decision. The Bruin Reserves now have a record of four wins in five games in the minor division of the Metropolitan League, This gives Coach Hoy's two teams a combined total of ten league triumphs against four defeats against major and minor division opponents. Wednesday before last the Reserves edged the soldiers from the Florence Pri- soners of War' Camp, 42-41. Monday night the Reserves came from behind in the third quarter to take a decisive 57-44 win over the soldiers from Papago Park Prisoners of War Camp. Trophies will be awarded Senior Champs, Senior Runner-Ups, Junior icon- solationi Champs, Junior Cconsolationl Runner-Ups, players, coach, and manager of Senior and Junior Champs: an all-tour- ney team of ten men, and the tourney's outstanding players.

Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, Rod- dy McDoweIl, and Barry Fitzgerald lead the cast of this movie taken from the no- vel by Richard Llewelyn. The story that is of a boy, Huw, remembering his Welsh valley when it was green and not dotted with mines, and presents the key to all the vast sociological problems of our in- dustrial era. ' This is one of a series of monthly mov- ies scheduled by the Visual Aids Commit- tee of the college. Mr. Smelser is in charge. Lilliom Cast Sought Tryouts for the Masque and Dagger spring play, Lilliom, have been going on throughout this week, and will con- tinue until several more men are found to complete the cast. lf enough players are not found, plans will have to be scrapped, so everyone, particularly any of you 150 new men, interested in dramatics see Mr. Smelser today or early next week. The plot of Lilliom is probably most familiar to the American public as the musical, Carousel. Campus Approaches Normalcy As Male Enrollment Increases At last! The inevitable swing has been more than back to normal, for this semester finds the men outnumbering the women 276 to 252. The main reason for this change is the entrance of 145 new students, 130 of which are veterans. As compared to the 401 in attendance NEWMAN CLUB INVITES JC TO VALENTINE SPORT DANCE And suddenly it's Spring, and the New- man Club Breaks forth with ecstatic cries and an invitation to all JC students and their guests to attend a Valentine Day sport dance to be held in the St. Mary's Social Hall on Friday, February 15, from 9 to 12. Dean Pullins Orchestra will furnish heartfelt music, a door prize and a waltz prize will be given, and refreshments will be served. 'Couples and stags are cordially invited, but the stags shall be especially welcomed. Advance ticket sales are being held now by members of the club.

Interesting is the fact that there are 221 Freshman boys and 167 Freshman girls. But the Sopho- mores are gaining every day, there now being 55 Sophomore men and 85 Sopho- more girls. Not even the fastest person found reg- istration an easy day this time. The lines were long and seemed slow to the many hot and confused students. For most of the new ones, registration took two com- plete days, and to arrange a schedule with only a reasonable number of conflicts was a dream. Even after a week and a half of school, drop cards are being sign- ed to release a student from one class so he may attend another. One good thought: One can no longer condone girls' bringing Lieutenants to school dances on the grounds that there are not enough men on the campus. Board Warns Card Players Against Gambling In Union Gambling in the Student Union was officially prohibited when Esther Boedeck- er, new student body president, announc- ed in last Tuesday's assembly that, while card playing is still allowed, anyone found gambling will be called before the Execu- tive Board for a warning, and a penalty will be imposed for the second offense.

Frances Hull, Betty Hef- lin, Dale Welker The War Is Over As we approach the campus in our car and endeavor to locate a place to park and are foiled, as we streak into class early to get a seat and are foiled, as we wobble into the cafeteria to get something to eat and there is nothing there, we realize that the war is over. Nearly a third of JC population is now composed of ex-servicemen. We, who are in Our teens, will have in our classes men and women who are not only Older than we, but who have been matured by experiences which we probably will iwe hopel never have. These people will use their ex- perience and tried knowledge to prove that, at best, text book knowl- edge is only theoretical. Many of the men new here this semester were seniors in high school when most of us were freshmen and sophomores, and most of them are known to us. We need no longer feel cheated when we hear talk about what fun was had at JC before the war. This is after the war and we're going to have more fun. During the past semester we have tried to regain activities whose spirits were drafted with the boys. Sports is a growing concern, frats are stirring beneath the sur- face, clubs are growing in number and importance, the SU is, if any- thing, Over-populated. What other things are regained depends en- tirely on the demands for them. Now added to the boys and girls of JC are the men and women of anywhere. S It is always pleasant to find the name of a member of the student body in print, but it was exceedingly pleasing to see the essay My Ideal written by Robert E. Hannelly in the December issue of THE CRIPPLED CHILD. For the opinion of a necessarily pure intellectual on the desireability of social experience, you might look this item up in the library. -D K- '- 5, 55If CALENDAR, WEEK or FEB.

Welcome Mat, I mean, Welcome Back is our cry to familiar faces new to the campus this semester. Classes are cozy ilike sardinesl these days and the SU is as energetic as a Baby Ruth candy bar. Glad ta see ya, glad ta see ya. To the newly elected student body of- ficers goes the job of tacking up Help Wanted signs at the appropriate times and places ii.e. trip to Compton, school dances, etc.l. Arriving short of our Ev- erybody has a good time at JC goal can- not be attributed to lack of personnel. Adventure Addicts Dudley Ketcherside, Verne Cook and Bob Hirsch have been getting large charges lately frcm piling into the closest car and speeding to the nearest water hole to spear carp. iOne nasty girl suggested they dangle Hirsch on the end of a string-the wormll Last week the boys caught one rubber tire, a case of empty bottles, a sunburn and two tall blondes .... Speaking of fish, at least seventy-five men are needed to reincarnate fraternities on the campus. It has been learned that three frats with a minimum membership of twenty-five each are needed to revive the tradition. Only requirements for en- trance are love of a good time and the ability to bluff a 'C' average. Attend the AMS meetings for particulars. The Student Union Sports Ass'n. has been warned that its main source of reven- ue, cards, has been ruled Out. Poker rev- enue was the reason for this ruling. This is really more democratic and is good aside from the moral problem in that those who can't or do not care to play for money will not be ostracized by their more care- less fellows. It should be remembered that those who will not play for money may have the money-and possibly more brains. The answer to Who is the best dressed man on campus? is now a toss-up be- tween Mr. Andres and Bumstead. Mr. Andres definitely has the most fascinat- ing ties ibright green and red, brighter Orange and blue, pink euglena on a purple floatl, but Alpha pledges have been quick changing Bumstead from an attractive fuschia-orange costume to a tailored green circalot suit which does catch the eye. If Bumstead wins the vote, it will prob- ably be due to his newest ensemble, a black background with an all-over feather design. This Outfit was given to him last week by the Olliver-Hoff Company, Inc. V. H.

M. which is enacted a griping drama dealing with the principles of life: the struggle to survive, the battle for existence, the survival of the fittest, lite living off life. It is here in the jungle, a unique, uncan- nily set stage, that Life, simple, naked, and stripped to its brutal, jagged core ful- fills the laws of its being. Life-bitter, crude, undiluted by sentiments of Rous- seauian compassion, where none are spar- ed the laws, none granted privileges of immunity-reaches a frenzied cresendo of brutal action. It is plant against plant, plant against animal, animal against ani- mal, all struggle. Each individual struggle ends in conse- cration of life principles. Sustenance, procreation o fthe species, and continued existence itself go to the victor. Yielding up its carcass as the price exacted of weakness the vanquished receives only painful death-death, a period, not a -semi-colon, a coma or a dash, only a pre- cise, exacting period. ' Only a Darwin, a Spencer, or a Nietzche can comprehend to a relatively full extent the principles of life here revealed. Only God, define him as you may, can compre- hend and also realize the final meaning, the intrinsic purpose of this principle. In grim, vivid, stark, comprehendable clarity the epoch of the Jungle was reveal- ed by Frank Buck and his motion picture presented at North Phoenix High School Auditorium last Saturday evening, spon- sored by Phoenix Town Hall. Bear Tracks has provided for a re- porter to be present at each of the series offered by Phoenix Town Hall. I covered this lecture of Frank Buck's entitled Jun- gle Adventures, and I thought that per- haps readers would find a resume of this event interesting. M. H. A collegewide search is being made to find musically talented students who are interested in forming a band and orchestra for this semester. Any- one who can play a musical instru- ment is urged to see Mr. E. L. Stone of the Music Department. The band meets the 4th hour on Thursdays and the Orchestra meets the 8th hour on Tuesdays. The organization depends largely on the willingness of the student body. A band is needed to play at the various activities such as assemblies and dances. See Mr. Stone as soon as pos- sible for any further information.

THE DEAN'S OFFICE In reply to Bear Tracks inquiry- the question of a friendly game at cards, is probably fundamentally like the other questions which involve a proper use of one's time. It goes with- out saying that prizes would be out of order. Students' leisure time is rela- tively scarce, therefore, whatever re- creational activity we choose would probably be limited from a few miri- utes to an hour. One must raise the question, Do l have time for this ac- tivity? JC welcomes to its campus l50 ex- service men and women who have re- cently returned to civilian life. Some of these people you knew before they went into the service. They want to slip back into their role of life as quick- ly and easily as possible. They have shown themselves to be sincere and earnest. This week's orchid goes to our re- turned servicemen and women, whose records read like the summary of the war news -- they've really been around. A bouquet for their deter- mination to continue their education. DAFFY lS CAUGHT AS HE WAS about to complete one of his three free shots in Tuesday's game in which JC beat Naval Air Facility 47 to 2l. The high scorer of the game was Douthit who made twelvei markers, closely followed by Metzger's eleven and Lawitzke's nine. Bears Plan To Battle Santa Barbara Marines Coach Dutch Hoy's fighting Bruins play host tonight and tomorrow night to the powerful Santa Barbara Marines from California. Both games will begin at 8:00 pm and will be played in the JC Gym. The Marines made a good showing in two recent Phoenix appearances downing the Luke Field Dukes easily and losing a close game to the highly-regarded Funk Jewels outfit, 50 to 45. Corporal Dick Evans, manager of the Marines and form- er middlewest grid and cage luminary, will bring a team to Phoenix! manned largely by former college and professional stars. Red Metcalfe, the team's lead- ing scorer, ran wild against the Funk team scoring nineteen points for top honors. Last Friday and Saturday nights the Bears split their two-game series with Gila Junior College at Thatcher. ln the open- er the Bruins completely outclassed their opponents and led throughout, winning 48 to 30. Les Metzger's nineteen points proved the Bear prowess. The second game, however, was a different story. The Gila aggregation took the lead early and won out, 43 to 30, in an extremely rough game during which several players left via the foul route. The Bears took on the Naval Air quint on Tuesday night and tackled the strong Williams Field Fliers on Thursday, but the results were too late for publication in this issue. Woodson Club Officers Elected, Group Holds Buffet Supper Dance A buffet dinner held in the club room, followed by clancing in the Blue and Gold room, was given on January 25 by the Woodson Club for members and their guests. The Woodson Club is the PJC social club for Negro students. Club meetings are held every Friday during Activity period under the sponsor- ship of Mr. E. M. Andres. Club officers are president, Regina Townsend, vice- president, Helen Stewart, secretary, Pearl- ine Coit, and treasurer, Giles Shivers.

VOL. l8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY l5, i946 No. I6 .lack Holland reaches for high toss in JC- Marine game .... Daddy Laird Pays Tribute To Lincoln He is true to purpose at all times, he is sincere at all times, he is honest at all times, and the very trials that he had at all times seemed to give him strength to do the greatest work of all times, which was to emancipate a race. In this way Dr. Laird described Abraham Lincoln when he spoke in assembly on last Tuesday, Lin- coln's birthday. Dr. Laird began his talk by telling of the monuments and tributes which people have set up to honor great events and great people. He told of visiting Lexing- ton and Concord, of worshiping in the church where George Washington once worshipped, and then he told of his trip to Lincoln Park in Southern lndiana. Here the family of Lincoln, especially his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, have been immortalized in a series of monuments each depicting some portion of Lincoln's life. Dr. Laird continued, One can scarce- ly conceive of a project as great as those people designed to commemorate a fam- ily-one of the greatest efforts perhaps given by people to a man. Dr. Laird is former head of the Phil- osophy Department of Phoenix Junior College. He was one of the first and best known members of the PJC Faculty. He retired last year after more than fifty years of teaching. New Women Welcomed To J. C. Gila Monsters Engaged In Game Here Tonight The Gila Junior College Monsters, strengthened considerably with recent dis- chargees, will invade the Bears' lair to- night and tomorrow night for an im- portant two-game series. Game time both nights will be 8:00 o'clock, and the gamesrwill be played in the PJC Gym. This series is perhaps the most im- portant of the year for both clubs as each has been extended an invitation to com- pete in the coming Western States Invita- tional Tourney at Compton, California, and this week's performance should be a keynote to their tournament play. Coach Hoy's Bruins entertaincd the tough Santa Barbara Marines last week- end and lost both encounters. The Mar- ines proved themselves one of the top- notch aggregations seen in Phoenix so far this season. In the opener the Santa Barbarans grab- bed the- lead early and led throughout, winning 62 to 54. However, the Bears were a constant threat and once in the third quarter pulled to within two points of the Californians. Corp. Red Met- calfe's 2l points paced the winners, but scoring honors for the evening went to Les Metzger, Bruin center, who netted 26 points. The Marines were even stronger in the second contest, using their tremendous height to control the rebounds and score freely on tip-ins. Metzger and Louis Hallman were high for the Bears with l3 and eight points respectively. Metcalfe again ran wild, scoring 28 markers in leading his outfit to a 60 to 40 victory. PJC Band Elects Officers Members of the PJC Band elected offi- cers at their regular rehearsal Thursday, February 7, during fourth, period. At this time the following were elected: president, Peggy Tallackson, secretary, Rose McFeej and librarians, Melvin Carter and Ray English. There were l2 members present at the rehearsal, but Mr. Hakes announced, There is still a great need for clarinets in the band. A Valentine theme predominated in the buffet dinner party held for new girls yesterday evening in the Club Room. Sponsored by the AWS Executive Board, it was supervised by their president, Emma Jean Foord: Barbara Best made arrange- ments for the dinner which was followed by a game of progressive Bunko. Vice President Jean Pierson and Secretary Pat Lindsey were in charge of decorations. The invitation list included Mary Bakst, Norma Jean Burch, Sharon Butler, Doris Virginia Carroll, Edith Valerie Chamberlin, Carmelita Clark, Mrs. Eleanor Stauffer Daniels, Phyllis Eliane Dawson, Mrs. V. Patricia Fetter, Margaret Frost, Jane Ellen Jones, Bette Colleen Gorbutt, Francene Manley, Arline Fay Mitchell, Mrs. Beula Theodora Moyer, Mrs. Sybil D.

Ex-service women invited were William iBillieJ Marie Bobbitt-Wave, Mildred May Gilpin--Wave, Mrs. Vir- ginia Schulte Redfield-Marine. The Executive Board is composed of the AWS officers and the Honor Board. The dinner is an annual affair with Dean Gibson as faculty sponsor. as game reaches near-football proportions.

BUT SENATOR 5 ,555 buster to kill FEPC come during BURNET MAYBANK, SOUTH 'L the same week makes an ironic CAROLINA, HAS THIS TO SAY: 1 coincidence. For the time being, the FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES BILL, a bill designed to establish a committee to deal with cases of discrimination against persons seeking a job, a .promotion, equal wages for equal work, protection from discharge because of race, creed, color, national origin or ancestry, has been shelved. That is the attempt to guarantee to any person the right to compete on the basis of skill and ability rather than the fact that he is a Catholic, a Methodist, a Jew, a Negro, a Mexican, a Swede, or an Eng- lishman has failed. The war which just ended was waged against fascism. A major campaign against one of the prin- cipal tenets of fascism has just been lost or at least the victory has been postponed. THE FEPC IS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE RIGHTS LISTED IN THE CONSTITUTION TO ALL AMERICANS. BUT REPRESEN- TATIVE HAYS, ARKANSAS, HAS THIS TO SAY: . . . he Ithe Negrol should recognize that it is not necessarily discrimination to regard him as unequal to the white workers in certain pursuits. . . he is regarded as excellent in certain trades even though most of them are humble ones. THE FEPC, IN TRYING TO CORRECT PROVEN CASES OF DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE OF COLOR, RACE, OR CREED, WAS fthe FEPC bill isi a Communist attempt to destroy our country and a rape of the Magna Charta. THE FEPC IS ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH A SOUND BASIS FOR HIRING, PROMOTING, AND FIRING OF ALL WORKERS, THAT IS, A SINGLE BASIS OF ABILITY AND SKILL. SENATOR RUSSELL, GEORGIA, SAID, I am disturbed by . . this ruthless drive . . . with their callous dis- regard of human nature and reali- ties, to enforce their views. on racial relations on the entire na- tion . . . demanding that em- ployers and employees change customs of years' standing. THE NECESSARY MAJORITY TO MAKE FEPC A PERMANENT PART OF OUR LAW IS AC- COUNTED FOR IN BOTH HOUSES, but the Cloture Rule in the Senate fthe only way to stop a filibusterl calls for two-thirds in favor. Because six votes for the Cloture Rule were lacking and be- cause the Senate needs to carry on business rather than let Southern Senators play pat-a-cake and Amos and Andy on the Senate floor, the bill went down to de- feat. Various Congressmen who be- lieve that all men were created and by right ought to be free and equal have many reasons for sup- porting the bill. Senator Chavez, New Mexico says, . . . I want the United States to belong to all of us, and not to a few .... In Sir, l'd like to drop Spanish and math so I can have more time in the Student Union, ' my opinion, humanity is more im- portant than property. Also, he says that . . . the activities of the FEPC in trying to adjust cases . . . have done more to bring about actual good will in Latin America than the many millions spent . . . Representative Dawson, Illinois states there is no wrong to be done . . . by assuring to any human the right to work if he has the skill and ability. The right to work is synonymous with the right to live. Take from me my opportunity to work . . . because of my color, and you deny me the opportunity to raise a family, you deny me the opportunity to edu- cate my children . . and acquire those things which should be the minimum which any individual should have. Representative Dawson is one of the two Negro members of Congress. Every citizen of this country is subject to duties and rights. The tax collector accepts, demands money from Negro or white, Jew- ish or Protestant hands. An enemy Mexican or Chinese a Catholic or atheist will kill a American, American.

BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 65 l A me si-:APE or Tomonnow l 5 ECCE HOMO l Henry J. Kaiser appears to be one of those who is exerting a powerful influence in the fashioning of tomorrow's world. Part of the Zeitgeist of our time is the feeling that business men are Babbits whose vision has been compromised by commercialism and that they are inept when it comes to human engineering. As a contradiction to this Zeitgeist, Kaiser stands in heroic proportions as a business man, a builder, and a genius in engineering for human welfare which assumes the character of a legend. Before the war Kaiser was one of the contractors who participated in the con- struction of the great western dams built for-the purpose of water control, irriga- tion, and reclaimation, and the creation of electrical power. During the war Kaiser became recog- nized as a great ship builder who helped to win the battle of the Atlantic by the construction of Liberty ships and baby aircraft carriers. For the welfare of his workers and their families he instituted a group medical plan which became the sub- iect of widespread discussion. A book on this subject appeared at that time. lt was Paul De Kruif's Kaiser Wakes The Doctors! ln the spring of l9-15 when Congress removed the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration from the Department of Com- merce in order that Henry Wallace would not exert control over the RFC holdings, Kaiser came out in support of Wallace. Kaiser, with the end of the war, became interested in building new types of auto- mobiles. To carry out this project he formed a company with Joseph Washing- ton Fraiser. Also included in his plans is the ideal of spreading industry West, in order to free the West from its colonial status of industrial and financial depen- dence on the East. To supplement this ideal Kaiser has bought the Fontana steel mills in Cali- fornia. The purpose of this is to bring to the industrial centers of the West Coast the basic material required for industrial development. ln the field of labor relations Kaiser has sprinted ahead. On January 8, i945 he signed a contract with the United Automobile Workers granting a basic wage equal to the highest wage rate in the automotive industry. He also accepted President Truman's fact finding sugges- tion of an eighteen percent wage increase in the steel strike, and he has signed a contract with the United Steel Workers granting this increase. -M.

' Quentin Reynolds Describes Plan to Subdue Germany BY PAT WALKER BEAR TRACKS reporters are covering the Phoe- nix Town Hall Series and from time to time reviews of theze lectures will appear in BEAR YRACKS. Germany as a world menace is through! declared Quentin Reynolds, veteran foreign correspondent and author, in a recent Town Hall lecture at North Phoenix High School. Having recently returned from a trip through Germany last summer and fall, Mr. Reynolds described conditions there as miserable and the German people as servile and demoralized but unashamed- hating us as much as ever. Outlining the Allies' plan to suppress the malignant growth inherent in Ger- many, he described our breaking down of their great national banks and arma- ment factories, heartily approving the Russians' idea of restitution-stripping German factories as the Germans had theirs. He related the story of a Russian city to which thousands of Russians returned in spite of the fact that the Germans had completely demolished it. They had no money and no men to rebuild, but a Russian officer answered his incredulity with, l promise you there will be no unemployment in Germany for the next 20 years. The Russians, Mr. Reynolds said, are easy to love but diplomatically hard to understand. He expressed a great admiration for the people and sees no possibility for our going to war with them since they have nothing we want and we have nothing they want. Mr. Reynolds pointed out the unholy alliance of Spain with the Axis and the suspicion that Franco's recent order for the state control of uranium regions may indicate the presence of German atomic The Novels He Reads Sharon Linda Diana Sheffield-known as Toni-lay on the blue marquisette counterpane and sobbed.

He considers Franco more dangerous than Hitler was. Mr. Reynolds believes that democracy may have a chance in Germany under our present system of anti-Nazi education for the young people. He describes the physical apathy, moral disintegration, and suicidal waves in all parts, especially in Berlin. The Germans so great in victory are miserable in defeat.

First we have the Fair Employment Practices Bill presented be- fore Congress land defeated by the noble protectors of our race! Now the issue is brought up again, this time as the problem of not getting our daily bread- our daily white bread. As you may have read, America millers may find it necessary to shorten the wheat refining process in order to send more flour to Europe, thus leaving for darker bread. Come on, Senator Bilibus- ter-keep America white, save us from whole wheat. BACK WITH US AGAIN IS the original Barefoot Boy Asa Hearthrug, vet, this time in THE ZEBRA DERBY.

We don't know how to work with our hands. To add love interest, Asa's beloved Lodestone and the dark eyed, finely mus- tached, and burlap besmocked Yetta are augmented by an ex-war worker, Nebice who wants a man-any maneeven Asa. -JAG DEAN'S BOX If you are a sophomore and have not filed a petition for graduation you should do so at once. If there is a default shown by credits or present courses now being carried, this is an opportunity for them to be corrected. In general, driving through the cam- pus is done with care and considera- tion. Both driveways are in the school zone and are subject to a maximum speed of I5 miles per hour. This makes for much of the suppression of dust in the driveways. Your patience in the face of the shortage of textbooks is appreciated. The shortage of books comes from the lack of paper and transportation. Every effort is being made to get them as rapidly as possible. Meanwhile, stu- dents are willing to share when con- ditions permit. Since Washington's Birthday comes on Friday, the Board of Education has declared a holiday on February 22, in honor of the birth of a great Ameri- can leader. This week's bouquet goes to Joel Leetham and the military department of the college, who, with the student body, are to be hosts to the Reserve Officers Training Corp at the formal dance on February 22. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22. WASHING- TON'S BIRTHDAY. HOLIDAY! patriotic will serve as the atmosphere of the Washington's Birthday Ball sponsored by the Military in the gym on Friday evening, February 22, from 9 to I2. The first formal dance of the semester promises to be a gay affair with the music of Bob Stafford and his six-piece orches- tra, popular Phoenix musicians. MOVIE REVIEW Bear Tracks wishes it understood that these reviews are compilations of views for which it does not necessarily assume responsi- bility. UFRONTIER GAL , starting at the Fox Theater on Sunday is a flashy horse opera intended for adults rather than kids. All the conventional horse operas tenets and excitement are included plus kissing. The action is fast, keeping the actors so busy that they rarely get a chance to deliver a line, let alone muff one, according to Time. In Mexico, Mexican-made films out- draw Hollywood-made films ten to one, P.M. states. One reason is the appear- ance of films like MASQUERADE IN MEXICO, starting today at the Orpheum, that give the Hollywood version of Mexi- co-broken English, over or under dress- ed stupid, but pretty characters, Palm Beach marble villas . Dorothy Lamour makes her usual peek-a-boo exposures. Mikhail Rasumny, as a cab driver, is the best thing in the movie.

BRUIN CAGERS ENTRAIN FOR COMPTON TUESDAY After last week-end's impressive brace of wins over the Gila Jun- ior College Monsters, Coach Dutch Hoy's scrapping Bruins will en- joy a week-end of rest in anticipation of the Western States Invitational Tournament which will get under way on February 26 at Compton, California. , v Complimenting campus scenery for a few moments before entering the final iudging at Camelback Inn on last Tuesday are pictured, left to right, Jane Jones, Katherine Kraft, Nan- cy Porter, Pat Fetter and Betty Luitiens. Coeds Chosen Attendants To Arizona Citrus Queen Jane Jones and Betty Luitiens, PJC Co- eds, were chosen as attendants to this year's Citrus Queen following a vigorous week of appearances about town and the screening out of less comely lasses. Rob- ert Young, movie star, and prominent Phoenix citizens were present at the final judging held last Tuesday afternoon at Camelback lnn. Anna Sue Amann, for- mer JC student, was chosen Queen. The Queen and her court will reign at the Citrus Ball to be held at the Westward Ho on March lo. Miss Amann will also be honored by a free trip to Hollywood, where she is to be the guest of Warner Brothers Studio. The Compton Tourney will feature the west's top sixteen iaycee quints, and the Bears expect to meet top-flight compe- tition all the way. The cage meet is a double elimination affairs, thus each team will be assured of at least two games. EX-GI'S STRENGTHEN BEARS JC's aggregation has been considerably strengthened with the addition of Bob Howell and Danny Sheets, a couple of re- turnees who played for the Hoymen be- fore going to the wars. Howell's defen- sive play was a feature of last week-end's double triumph over Gila Junior College at Thatcher here, while Sheets hit top form in Saturday night's game scoring seventeen points. The Bruins defeated their perennial rivals from Thatcher 43 to 30 and 60 to 28. This gives the Phoenix club a record of three out of four games against the Gilans this year. BRUINS WHIP GILA TWICE The Bears took the opener by a fairly large margin after a closely contested first half in which they managed to gain a 'l5 to l4 advantage, Les Metzger was the big gun for the Bruins with ll points, while Lincoln Pace, ex-Gl, led Gila with a like number. ln the second encounter the locals dis- played rare form in routing their oppon- ents by the lopsided score. Phoenix led all the way and was never threatened, holding a 23 to 8 halftime lead and a 44 to l9 third quarter margin. Daffy Dout- hit provided the Bear punch with 20 points followed by Sheet's l7. Pace again led the Gilans with l0 markers. Coach Hoy will take ten men to Comp- ton, and the team will be quartered at 704 North Longbeach Boulevard, Comp- ton, California. The housing problem has been ably handled by the Compton Cham- ber of Commerce.

Department Of Utter Confusion, Don't Give It A Second Thought WESTBROOK PEGLER HAS MADE HIS DEBUT in a Phoenix newspaper. We feel that we owe it to our readers to point out his appearance for those who might have overlooked the matter and who possibly would be interested. We believe it pertinent to present a survey of his columns to date. January I5-Pegler denounc- ed the protests of Gls in Manila recently. . . . the commanding officer or the responsible officer should have sent MPs to grab the ringleaders and should have caus- ed them to be tried by court-mar- tial on a charge of mutiny. They should have been convicted and sentenced to prison and dishon- orably discharged. For failing to do so, he should be tried. January I8 - Pegler alleges that communist and pinks con- trol Gl newspapers, that these subversive elements use Serv- ice publications to undermine the authority of the Army High Com- mand, smearing it as brass hat. To quote the central thesis of Pegler's views: There is no room for freedom of the press or jour- nalistic privilege in the American armed services and all such pap- ers should be suppressed perma- nentIy January 22-Pegler branded as gossip the reports of high Ar- my officers and gold braid us- ing their power and influence to get special privileges such as officers living in sumptious homes, staffed by Filipino boys, and a lieutenant colonel who . . . managed to wrangle two private homes on the claim that he had to have space 'to entertain dis- tinguished guests in a city where housing is at a premium.' iThese special guests turned out to be Red Cross and United Serv- ice Organization girls.l JANUARY 24 - PEGLER DE- VOTED HIS ENTIRE COLUMN TO REVIEWING RECENT SPEECHES OF J. EDGAR HOOV- ER. Pegler used Hoover's figures to blame the Communists for juv- enile delinquency. February 4-Pegler leveled his I7 inches of column at the Mer- chant Marine. That many of the sailors were brave and performed important service in the very dan- gerous conditions will be conceed- ed at the outset, although for ev- ery hero there were at least two ship-jumpers, drunkards, and thieves. The column heading made the reason apparent to any consistent reader of Pegler-the communists who dominate the National Maritime Union and who . . . demanded that alien Com- munists be automatica.Ily natural- ized. February 5 - PEGLER RE- TURNED TO ATTACK COM- MUNIST INFILTRATION INTO THE ARMED SERVICES. The campaign of servicemen against commissioned officers . . . was begun by the Communists, many of whom filtered into the Army . . . The Communist attack up- on officers is . . . consistentwith the old purpose of weakening the government of the United States until the point is reached from which violent rebellion, anarchy and the Communist dictatorship would ensue. OH, YES, FOR ANYONE UN- AWARE OF IT . . . the United States alone, annihilated Japan . . . Sorry you Australians, you British Tommies, you Dutch forc- es, you of the underground of Asiag it is an illusion you have de- luded yourselves into, that you were fighting Japan. You Chinese, the China Incident and the ensu- ing invasion by Japan is only a Confucian fairy talel M. H. AND IN THIS CORNER . . . This column is not ordinarily dedicated to complaints. But this week we have a complaint to make about a rule. Realiz- ing that there might be two sides to the question we have consulted with Dean Gibson and have promised her space here next week in order that you may hear her views on the subject. On page 63 of the Guide for Health- ful Living at JC, or the Blue Book, is found an innocent enough looking clause which, along with similar clauses, cuts short much of the spirit which may have heretofore been inspired by members of the student body. Any party given by a member of a club and which includes the majority of the members of that club in the invitation shall be considered a club party. Only one 'open' party may be giv- en per semester without special permis- sion. This means, among other things, one faculty member must lend her in- spiring presence. This rule applies only to clubs, but it follows that a faculty member will be present at any school event. We openly welcome the faculty to any dances held during the school year, and to any large picnics or club gatherings which they feel fit enough to survive. But when a slumber party is thrown by and for respectable women with respec- table parents sleeping in their respectable bed in the same house, why is it neces- sary to include a sleepy faculty member who would much rather be at home lis- tening to intelligent conversation? But the Blue Book says . . . The Blue Book evidentally did not stop to think that it is fairly impossible to throw a party which does not include a majority of members, because this is a friendly school, and we like to include everyone. Another school party stipulates No parties on Sundays and AIl week- night parties are to be over by 9:30 pm. It isn't that we want to party-party every night,' but we do want to make school mean more than memorizing a lot of printed knowledge. Where does fa- culty responsibility begin and where does it end? Is school on a twenty-four hour basis? Of what use are parents to a college student? What constitutes a school af- fair? We also want to make it clear that we do not blame the faculty entirely for such rulings. We do blame those parents who have not enough control over their chil- dren to make them discriminate between early and late hours. It is the parents who blame the school for late hours and accidents which occur on picnics. Why cannot there be a large-print Blue Book ruling which throws private party behavior and responsibility onto the parents? V. H.

Observing committeemen pictured from left to right are THE DEAN'5 OFFICE The annual open house, I mention it now in order that you may mark it in your calendar, will be on March 20. It is a time when parents, friends and high school seniors spend a pleasant day on the campus. There is a gen- tleman's agreement that there will be no tests or assignments on the fol- lowing day, thus allowing you to be hosts to your family and friends. The first report period ends on March 8 For the benefit of the new students, all reports are on a cumu- lating basis and indicate the standing of a student from the time he started to the present date. It is important to make this first report good. Students who are having ,difficulty in any parti- cular course are requested to drop in and discuss it with the instructor. This week's orchid goes to the bas- ketball team for their fine games play- ed over the week-end. Both games were clean played and won by good spirit and sportsmanship. It should speed them on their way to Compton with renewed confidence. Competi- tion there will be strong, demanding the very best that the team and each individual on the team can produce. Every member of the faculty and stu- dent body will be interested in your progress. Keep us informed.

J 1 Page 70 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE ECCE HOMO How HE ozcinss His Futuna There is a certain little spirit situated around us who is extremely knowing, in- telligent, and prophetic this main charml. He apparently understands any language and is not particular whether its alphabet is present to him in order or disorder- that is, if other conditions suit him. He can be reached through the medium of any object, round or square, with legs or rim projections-anything that he can move with facility-for although intelli- gent, as is nearly always the case, he is weak. His name is OUIJA, and he is a very vain little spirit. He will not perform for disbelievers-rather, he will not perform for two disbelievers. When two doubt- ers approach him he absolutely refuses to answer even the simplest question. For instance, Ouija, are you in the room? He sits up there in his invisible ectoplasm -no answer whatsoever-when the be- lievers just proved that he was in the room. He can always tell his friends from his enemies. But he doesn't mind working with one BELIEVER and one dis- believer. He is really in his element, though, with two believers. He just sails around and around answering, as fast as he can find the letters, the most amazing and important questions. He knows almost everything--for be- lievers. Ouija doesn't seem to care about He seems to be sat- isfied with those he has, and I am sure there are a lot. This fact makes me won- der who he takes care of them all at the same time-for answering such technical questions must take his personal atten- tion. The question-askers must place their finger tips gently on the medium. It must not be the finger nails, especially the finger nails of a non-believer, or else right out from under if the non-believer's winning new friends. Ouiia will push it him. Then again, finger tips put too much pressure on the medium it is hard for Ouija to move it. One must place iust the right amount of pressure on the medium and if one sits with a believer, Ouiia will amaze and de- light him with answers that will make life easier, Ouiia, of course, works best with the regular Ouija Board and medium, which can be purchased anywhere for 5.79 with a great deal of potential Ouija in it. It is too bad that governments don't believe in Ouiia, because if they did, l am sure Ouija could give us the answers to some very troublesome questions with a minimum of difficulty and expense. G. M. MOVIE REVIEW Bear Tracks wishes it understood that these reviews are compilations of views for gvhich it does not necessarily assume responsi- iify. SPELLBOUND, a psychiatric thriller, started yesterday at the Fox Theater. The picture is rated as good entertainment by Time, but they go on to say that it lacks Director Alfred Hitchcock's famed sustained suspense. Gregory Peck is analysed by brilliant Psychoanalyst Ingrid Bergman as an am- nesia case. The Hitchcock chase starts when she follows him to New York to res- cue him from a murder rap. They go to Dr. Michael Chekhov, her friend and teacher, who so expertly milks his lines for humor that he steals scene after scene from Bergman's tense seriousness and Peck's dazed somnambulism. The psy- coanalytical theme drags, but Director Hitchcock's deft use of such things as a crack of light under a door, the wail of a locomotive whistle, and even a glass of milk raise SPELLBOUND well above the routine Hollywood thrillers. A dream sequence designed by Surrealist Salvador Dali is the most striking set. .1-,.-.0iT...l Spanish Club To Make Nogales Trip May 4, 5 Los Ositos lThe Little Bears, to you.l, .lC's Spanish Club will take a trip to No- gales to the Cinco De Mayo celebration to be held on May 4 and 5.

Now that they've finally started working again, we might find the answer. Other homes are started in this sub- division, let's hope that they will be of related designs so that the east side of JC will not be bordered by the usual hodge-podge of boxy bungalows, psuedo- Spanish style homes, colonial columned mansions, and ultra-modern windowless wonders.

THE SIMULTANEOUS ADVENT OF NEW MEN - many men - and MORE DANCES brings with it a problem: How are the unknowing girls to know which men to set bear traps for and which are exempt because of marriage? Numerous suggestions tall from women? have been made that we try a system which has work- ed successfully on other campuses-posh ing a list of all the married men, but one truly original and practical soul rec- ommended that we might iust post a list of the unmarried men,-and as a supple- ment, we are contemplating divorce.

I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, MARCH l, I946 No. I8 Nat'l Track Meet To Be Held At JC Phoenix sports should reach big-time proportions this spring as PJC has been named host college for the National Jun- ior College Track and Field Champion- ships for the next five years running with the possibility of receiving the honor on a permanent basis. Track is now expected to take on added importance here since it will be the re- sponsibility of PJC to do everything pos- sible to make this'one of the biggest sports classics ever held in Arizona. For this reason Coach George Dutch Hoy has issued the call for all track aspirants. As host college PJC should strive to have competent representation in the meet. The chief difficulty involved in pro- moting track interest here is the lack of asuitable field. Many JC athletes have expressed their desire to try out for the Bear team but at present the field is in no condition to accommodate potential stars. The JC field is in a state of disrepair and until this condition is remedied the prospects of having outstanding JC rep- resentation in the coming national meet are poor. The national jaycee track and field classic will be held in Phoenix during the third week in May and will be staged as a one afternoon and evening affair. Everything will be done to make it the greatest track and field event ever offer- ed in the state, Coach Hoy said. Many of the best track and field men in the na- tion will compete here, and Arizona sports fans will have the finest attraction that has been staged here in many years. Major Art Nehf Appointed Head of Marine Recruiting Major Art Nehf Jr., a JC graduate of- l938, recently appointed head of Marine Corps aviation recruiting in Arizona, Cal- ifornia, and Nevada, has announced that recruits can now name the type of duty in which they wish to engage. Schools in ordnance, mechanics, radio, radar and other aviation specialties are now open to men between I7 and 26 years of age who wish to enlist for from two to four years. JC vets map plans during organizational meeting. Campus Vets P Plans for a veterans' organization to be formed from PJC vets were drawn up on Monday in the Auditorium during Ac- tivity period. The meeting was called by Kenneth Ryker, John McCormack, and Robert Lang, all ex-servicemen. All attending were asked to fill out cards with suggestions and personal sen- timents concerning organization data. Dr. Harry Wyman, college dean, spoke during the proceedings. lt was pointed out that as a result of service in the Armed Forces most veterans have problems of a different nature from those confronting other students, that they are older mentally and slightly more serious, that many of them work and have no time for regular student activities. Many vets seek an organization which will stage social functions especially for mar- ried men. However, this would not ex- clude single members. When the question of the potential political power of such an organization was brought up, Dean Wyman remarked that it has always been JC policy to avoid I an Organization Sacred Singers To Give Program Of Songs In Men's Club Meeting The Sacred Singers will present a pro- gram of songs for the Roosevelt Men's Club on Thursday, March 7, at 6:30 pm.

ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE of the new flying clubs forming now in the United States is the Junior College Wings and Goggles Club. Not a new club-Wings and Goggles was formed before the war then dropped for the dura- tion. Its activities are now being renewed with more zeal than ev- er before by the spontaneous in- terest of the members. They have the use of a new dual-control Aeronca cub plane purchased by the Board of Educa- tion. Through Junior College they are provided, at a much cheaper rate than is usual, with fuel, han- ger space, parachutes, and instruc- tions. They clean and wax the plane themselves and the daily inspections are made by the more expert ex-air corpsmen, who make up about one-third of the mem- bership. Their flying time is scheduled after school hours and on Satur- days and Sundays. Besides the actual flying instruction there is a corollary course in ground school instruction available to those who wish it, and weekly meetings given over to the discus- sion of technical flight problems. We would like to commend this club as being the epitome of the word club, for its spontaneity of formation, interest, and worthi- ness of purpose. EXPECTING A KILL ALL THE JAPS attitude, we came away applauding Lt. Colonel Pap- py Boyington for his intelligence and sincerity. Colonel Boyington spoke on the Town Hall series at North Phoenix High School Au- ditorium on Monday, February ll. He told of the many occa- sions that he was helped by Japan- ese guards and citizens. These people lwho risked their lives and suffered beatingsl were people who had had their homes destroy- ed, their friends and relatives kill- ed by our bombs dropped by our buddies, said Colonel Boyington, The beatings he received from Japanese guards did not leave him bitter, hating all Japs. I-Ie said that they lthe Japanesel treated each other the same way and re- mained the best of buddies. We are still applauding his two main points. lt is a crime to eat the way we do and let people in other parts of the world starve, and I believe the Japs will follow de- mocracy and become an ally of ours in time, just as the Philip- pines did. LET'S GO TO MEXICO FOR A FIESTA! El Cinco de Mayo, cele- brating a great battle land the turning pointl won by the Mexi- cans in their long struggle for in- dependence against the French, will provide an opportunity to see the people at their livliest. Los Ositos, JC Spanish Club, is going to visit Nogales during this holiday. Meeting the Mexicans in shops, cafes and at a bullfight, the students will note customs of dress, habits, and most important of all, everyday speech. Here is an event which is as ex- citing and interesting as it is ed- ucational. For the promotion of our Good Neighbor policy, such a visit from sincere Americans will be of benefit.

The nineteenth century embattled by the titanic forces of the twentieth century! The election was essentially a contest on domestic issues. ln an odd way this palace-born aristocrat never penetrated the enigma of why when people were hun- gry they dicln't ring the bell and have din- ner served. lt must be remarked that the revolution of the twentieth century did not displace the power of-the nineteenth century over- night. Rather the nineteenth century extended its hold over history beyond the formal span of date and the twentieth century leadership kept a grasp upon the reins of government while simultaneous- ly the forces of the twentieth century were at work in the deep, primeval sub- stance of society-the grass roots, the common people. The war was brought home to the peo- ple, the intensity had tempered them, altering them to such an extent that they would not accept the tiresome Tory leader- ship that Churchill offered. The people felt a national-a global wide tide of change stirring, and the people voted into power those who offered them a new world. Perhaps an insight into Churchill's campaign is the fact that where ever he electioneered he was greeted by the strains of Pomp and Circumstance: God who made thee mighty make thee mightier yet l The example of Churchill raises this grave historical question-ls it not bet- ter to preside over change in preference to being ground under by the cruel reali- ties change inaugurates? WBS on Correlated with this is: Was Truman aware, as he conferred with the symbol of a reputiated century, that' the world lthe United States with iti is changing? lt is to be hoped that the second Missouri Compromise is cognizant of the real, the elemental feature of our new born era- that this is The Century of The Com- mon People. M. H. Letters To The Editor DEAR EDITOR: RE LAST WEEK'S AND IN THS CORNER Hayakawa, the friend of all Freshmen, tells us lp. 5ll that the ignoring of contexts in any act of interpretation, is at best a stupid prac- tice . . . A common example is the sensational newspaper story in which a few words . . . are torn out of their context, and made the basis of a completely misleading account. The Blue Book has been PEGLARIZEDI That little Blue Book, so maligned last week, tells us, on that same page 63, that the social program for the women's clubs shall contain no more activities than one every other week, That means parties. Included in that number each semester there may be, without special request, lil two rush parties to which Jun- ior College girls who are not members may be invited, l2J one open party or dance to which members may invite their men friends, and l3J.one dance given by the Inter Society Council - a federation of the five women's social clubs. Additional open parties are book- ed only aiter special request. The Inter Society Constitution, which determines these regula- tions, has developed through the years in a democratic manner by decisions of the club members, and it has been amended from time to time as conditions have changed. For several years, particularly during the war years, no club has taken advantage of all the parties allowed under this generous social pro- gram. However, the social clubs are intended to be only one phase of the Junior College so- cial activities. An all-school dance, to which any student may bring his or her date, is given once each month with a good orchestra and all the trimmings. If we are a friendly school , as we hope we are, students will come to the school dances and will not limit themselves to their own exclusive social clubs. Basketball games, plays, academic clubs, and various oth- er college activities could take care of some or those desired nights out. Junior College clubs, both social and aca- demic, are faculty-sponsored and faculty-chap- eronecl. This is a college rule, established be- fore I arrived here, we believe it is still a good regulation and one desired by parents and by the community. Faculty responsibility does not end with the classroom but extends to all col- lege activities. Miss Harvey has brought up an important problem which is at the heart of our extra-cur- ricular system.

Brazilians Discuss Education, Customs Bringing a new slant on Brazilian life and education, two Brazilian nationals, Dona Cecelia Rodriguez de Sigueria and Dr. Israel Gueiros, spoke in last Tuesday's assembly. Both are members of the for- eign mission board of the Presbyterian church. Dona Sigueria, who is experienced in Brazil's education system, told of the growth of education from the time of Brazilian independence in i822 when there were no public schools in that coun- try. The first constitution required the es- tablishment of public schools, but there were no teachers to take over the schools that were organized. The first American school in Brazil was founded in l869. A pastor as well as a doctor, Dr. Guei- ros told of his nation's background and culture. He divided it into two separate countries, the coast and the backland. Large cities and all advancements of ci- vilization mark the coast country, while the backland has few modern facilities, but an abundance of dangerously wild Indians. Dr. Gueiros' English was remarkable though he has studied it only four months. Page 74 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE THE socm. cLuss . . Alpha sig held a rush, picnic Tuesday afternoon.

This is one, but only one, of the reasons why there are no Junior College parties on Sunday, this is one, but only one, of the reasons why Junior College parties end at 9:30 on nights preceding school days and at midnight on other nights. Teachers ,too, are people, with homes and home obligations, with church, club and social inter- ests. I give you the problem. What is the solu- tion?

THE DEAN'S OFFICE The service men and women on the campus are planning a program of ac- tivities to meet special needs that has not generally prevailed. More men with families are to be found on the campus than any other time in our history. The college welcomes an op- portunity to help in the planning of this activity suited to their needs- new occasions teach new duties.

It is fine to have our school rep- resented in the tournament at Comp- ton this week. Phoenix has long been a member of the Western States Junior College Association. Among the many benefits derived from this affiliation are the pleasant athletic re- lationships which it furthers.

Although it is not up to Going My Way, it is dis- tinguished for leisure and spaciousness, for delight in character and atmosphere, James Ageef movie review for Nation says. Ingrid Bergman, as the nun in charge of the old parochial school, is very human. The story is almost too weight- less, according to P.M. Sure as Christmas the nun and priest will get their new school from the mean old Mr. Bogardus before the end of the film. Time says that none of the good things has much to do with the story. The best scene in the film is the Nativity play, writ- ten and acted out by non-actor kids from a year and a half to six year olds. - ' 1 f?!E'Z ' 'F lllllll Ss' I ,P :J 'LIP' I . l l.n3 ' ' Evening Classes To Begin With Registration Monday Starting on next Monday evening, the second semester of evening classes will begin at Phoenix Junior College. The courses offered will depend on registra- tion, which will take place on Monday evening. Any language, science, history or other course will be given if registra- tion in that course is sufficient. The first class will run from 7 to 8:15 and the sec- ond from 8:20 to 9:35. Night school was timed so that recent- ly returned veterans who were unable to enter regular classes can pick up six units of college work. Classes will be held on Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday evenings, and will run from next Monday until June lst. Summer school will be in session 'from June 3rd to July 26th. Those going to night school and to summer school may get almost an entire semester of college credit. A large registration is anticipated. Ten to twelve calls have come in daily for the past two weeks. Liliom Cast Rehearses For Spring Presentation Liliom, an extravaganza of expres- sionism, is still in the early rehearsal stage of production, according to Mr. Smelser, sponsor of the Masque and Dag- ger club. The play will be presented in early May. Written by Ferenc Molnar and first pre- sented to a puzzled Budapest audience in l909, Liliom mingles squalor and vio- lence with love and compassion. Liliorn, lthe character! to be played by Verne Cook, is a braggart who expresses his warped soul by violence, bullieslwom- en, steals, attempts murder, and finally commits suicide. Virginia Mincks will portray Julie, who supplies compassion and warmth in her love for one of fiction's most complete louses. ' Liliom has been a favorite among university theatres for many years, and was adapted and produced with great success on Broadway under the name CarouseI. In the spring of i940 it played for several weeks, starring Burgess Meridith and Ingrid Bergman. VOL. I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, I946 No. I9 JC's Largest Summer Session Planned To Meet Special Need There won't be very much summer quietude on the JC campus this year.

There was a violinist, see, there's his hand! 1946 SUMMER SESSION AT A GLANCE Begins on Monday, June 3. Ends on Friday, July 26. Classes meet every day Monday through Friday. Holiday on July 4. Maximum load is nine semester hours. Daily schedule begins at 7 o'cIock and ends at ll:l5 a. m. Each class is sixty minutes in length. Tuition is five dollars per semester hour. But maximum charge lfor nine semester hoursl is only thirty- five dollars. Registration fee is two dollars. Private music lessons at usual rates. First thing to do is to study the ques- tionaire form on page 78 and be ready to selection of courses in Assembly next Tues- day. of the summer will find the campus over- flowing with the largest Summer Session ever. With so many veterans whose educa- tion was interrupted by the recent un- pleasantness as members of the student body the idea that three months of the year can be spared from school seems to be another one of those things which be- longed to the halcyon days before the war. But even so, those who take the summer course will have a full six weeks for rehabilitation before the regular ses- sion begins in the fall. The Summer Session will begin on Monday, June 3, and end on Friday, July 26. Classes will meet five times a week, with the exception of the one during which the Fourth will furnish a slight re- spite. ln order that the College may have some indication of the courses which will be in demand all students will have an opportunity in next Tuesday's assembly to indicate on a form which courses they think they will want to take. lA copy of that form appears elsewhere in this issue of BEAR TRACKS for the convenience of readers who might like to study it before Tuesday.l When Dean Wyman was asked how many students he thought would attend the Summer Session, he said that of course he could not tell for sure, but that he thought there might be as many as three hundred. The College is planning to do everything within its power to make this Summer Session meet the needs of all students. Special effort will be made to see that veterans are accommodated, the dean said. See page 78 for the copy of form to be filled out for summer school schedule.l Dr. Kendall to Speak Next Week Scheduled for next week's assembly is Dr. Charles S. Kendall, pastor of the Central Methodist Church, who will speak on The Law of Averages.

American military leaders are now taking it upon themselves to ban performance of musicians because the Nazi German public enjoyed their music during the war. ls this right or wrong? What are the principles involved? Here are the two diame- trically opposed points of view expressed during the last meeting of the Editorial Board. A We all believe that each man has a certain duty to perform in his life, for most of us with our little talent and mediocre ability, this duty has been to live normal lives, work and even lay down our lives that others may live as we do. But there are found a few men in society who have much more to offer - the scientists, artists, writers, musi- clans. Wasting away in Europe today are the talents of Wilhelm Furt- wangler fone of the world's greatest conductorsi, Walter Geisieking, pianist, composer Richard Strauss iwhose music is today enjoyed by American audiencesl, Alfred Corot and others. Admittedly these men stayed in Nazi Germany, our wartime enemy, and they performed for these Germansg what else could they have done? Their lives were de- voted to their music, not to the study of political ideologies, usually bounded by imaginary lines on a changing map. lf, then, the crime of, European artists was that of ignorance, let us punish them by allowing them to fulfill their obligation which is to continue composing, performing, and conducting. American applause at a concert given by former colaborators would not, as some nation- alistically minded militarists believe, indicate a moral victory for the Nazi philosophy, but would indicate the triumph of internationalism through a medium that we all understand - music. J.A.G. Z Fascism might well be designated as the worst- plague that has ever attacked the race of man unleashing as it did an amoral, ghastly terror bent upon making the soul of man a defiled, deathly swamp. Thus every individual on earth had his appointed place, supporting fascism or warring upon it. Neutrality toward fascism meant acquies- ence to its principles. Some one made the remark, Only the stars are neutral. As re- gards artists who acquiesed, it is doubtful if stars meant celebraties. The core of the problem that involves the integrity of artistic genius is called into question. How can it be possible that an artist whose profession indicates sensibility and perception can ignore brutal reality-bent upon degrading man-and retreat into fields embody- ing the noblest aspiration of the human soul? ls this not a contradic- tory inconsistency? How far removed is this artistic inconsistency removed from fascism whose essence is inconsistency? Can we expect them to go on acquiesing to the spirit of fascism? Can we look forward to the composing, by these artists, of such things as a cantata based upon the utterances of Father Coughlin and Gerald L. K. Smith or symphonies based upon the themes of the Horst Wessal song? M. H. AND IN THIS CORNER . . . Thanks to Dean Gibson from this cor- ner for her reply to the question of re- sponsibility. She flatters me by hinting that my column was sensational! l still do not agree with the definition of a college activity , and, evidently, neither do the various gangs who con- tinually violate the regulation involved. A visit to the mammalian anatomy class during a demonstration last week proved to me why foreigners go mad at JC. Dis- secting a rabbit with words were student surgeons: Frosh: See the bunny? Soph: Observe the rabbit. Junior: Perceive the aninal. Senior: Visualize the quadruped. Seen at the Tavern iwho isn'tJ last Fri- day night were Bob Murdock and the blonde. Did we detect a mad gleam in his eye, or was that a twenty-five watt reflec- tion? COC Francis Nixon tells us he isn't go- ing to wear his trousers any longer. They are long enough already. A mild form of war has been declared between rivals of KDN and Alpha Sig. Vying for leadership, the opponents have resorted to propagandizing the neutral Student Union. A bronze star has just been awarded to a guerrilla. Fred Parinkoke was voted the ugliest man on campus by his harem. The boy accepted this honor and will personally thank everyone when he secures the prop- er impIements. The basketball boys iand supporters! dribbled back from Compton last Sunday. The boys had a fine time land incidental- ly, left a good impression of our fair city -thank youli. Seems as though the team concentrated more on the games than new faces, but Skip Lubbman offered her time. This was good for one trip to Hol- lywood-fun, that is. Poor Mr. Monroe broke down and con- fessed absolute ignorance at Los Ositos party last weekend. lt seems party-ers were playing What ls lt? and decided the unsuspecting gent should be 'noth- ing'. Questions left him still more puzzled. When he asked ls it large and it was, he thought they were unkindly referring to his 'bay window'. iBay window-every- body has oneli. They weren't. V.H.

Every few years ant wars were waged because ants lived by an unproclaimed system of acquiring for the sake of pos- sessing. But it seemed that things were getting closer to a reasonable state of un- derstanding and cooperation, when one day an extremely prismatic ant was hatch- ed, who saw, most distinctly, color differ- ences and had definite signal reactions to them. Being what he was, a black ant, he thought all black ants were super ants. But he could not stand any other color of ant-which was silly because there weren't any colors to begin with. This ant thought it his duty to rid the forest of this terrible rainbow of ants and save it all for the black ants before the rainbow, or any part of it, could get it. So he proceeded to tell funny stories about the red ants with a hint here and there as to the intrinsic evil. ln time the other ants banded together and eliminat- ed the red ants. Next came the pink ants, then the purple ants and so on until none were left but the black ants. All went well for a while until he be- gan to detect a cast of red in some of the black ants. Well this would not do. Same treatment. Then he noted some pink. Ditto. Then some purple. You know. Now all was well. But no-more damned spots. He was diligent though, and fin- ally he had eliminated all the spotted ants and there was left-no one but himself. So that made in the forest a pure race consisting of one who ruled supreme, then -being mortal-died, leaving the great and beautiful forest for the wiser mon- Keys and men. G. M. Bears End Cage ,Season With Compton Tourney The Bruins wound up their I946 cage season with a 62-48 loss to a fast-break- ing Visalia Junior College quintet in the final round of the consolation champion- ships of the western states, Junior college cage tournament on Saturday night. Sacramento Junior College walked off with tournament honors by winning the jaycee classic and placing four men on the all-tourney ten. This was not unex- pected, though, as Sacramento entered the cage meet with an unblemished sea- son's record. In the opening round the PJC boys lost a tough one to Fullerton Junior College with a close ending, 54-53. Dan Sheets paced the Bruins scoring with sixteen points, followed by Les Metzger and Dick Lawitzke with thirteen each. The Bears bounced back from the Ful- lerton defeat and took the measure of Dixie College from St. George, Utah, by a score of 67-66 in overtime. Daffy Douthit topped the Phoenix marksmen with nineteen points. ln the consolation semi-final the Bruins hit top form in trouncing Long Beach Junior College decisively. The final score was 63-48, and Metzger contributed twenty points for high honors. The Bruins faltered in the final game of the consolation bracket, losing to the Visalians after trailing all the way. Metz- ger and Sheets led the Bears at the bask- et with fourteen and thirteen points re- spectively. For the second consecutive year, Metz- ger, an all-time PJC great, was chosen to the all-tourney ten. Those making the trip were Coach Hoy, manager Don Landy, George Owens, Stan Brookins, Bob Howell, Louis Hallman, John Krell, Jack Holland, Douthit, Metz- er, Sheets, and Lawitzke. Rubashov. He is a Party member who has deviated from the line set down by the leadership, and once entangled in the web of opposition, events draw him in the strands of the web to a climax-his capi- tulation, his public trial, conviction and liquidation. The forces that created the October Revolution and the forces created by the October Revolution become interlocked in the battle whose outcome will influence history more than any other struggle of this century. Darkness At Noon is as concise, fac- tual and direct as a.scientific abstract. Within its pages are condensed history, political theory, the psychology of twentieth century man, and a moral argu- ment of the first magnitude. The char- acter of his speculations on past, present, and future are as compellingly intrigu- ing as any passage that ever flowed from the' pen of Dostoevski. Koestler uses Crime and Punishment in the third de- gree grilling of Rubashov and expands the theme of personal crime to the pro- portions of social crime. Rubashov is a bitter facsimile of the contradictory frustrations of the Soviet experiment. The entire novel adds up to an argument of titantic intensity for the respect of the individual man. Logic must be tempered by respect for man. Man's hope is that moral responsibility for the human personality will pervade the world scene. M. H.

DEAN'S OFFICE Due to the constant demand for college courses, not only on the part of the veterans, but of the public at large, there will be a second semester night school session beginning next Monday, March I I. Within the next week you should receive your report on the work of the first six weeks of this semester. Like all reports it covers the quality of the students work from the beginning of the semester to the date of issue. lf a student's work is failing or not satis- factory he should by all means plan . with the instructor to correct the difficulty. All students who receive reports other than A, B, or C, are ex- pected to consult the instructor in such courses immediately. This must be done by the end of the week fol- lowing the receipt of the report. This week's bouquet goes to Coach Hoy, Captain Les Metzger, and the basketball team for the fine showing made at the Compton Tournament. The competition was stiff and our team furnished their full share of the exciting moments. The team has established an excellent record for the season. HARRY DUNHAM NAMED TO HEAD VETS' GROUP The newly formed veterans' organiza- tion met on last Monday during Activity period and elected the following officers, who will serve for one semester. Harry Dunham, president, Kenny Ryker, vice- presidentj and Dot Miller, secretary. The veterans will meet again on Mon- day during Activity period in the Audi- torium to elect a treasurer and three committee chairman, one for student vet- erans relations with the student body, one for student veterans relations with the Veterans' Administration, and one for so- cial chairman for the organization. Playboys Delight JC Crowing cockadoodle-do, Buster Fite and his Western Playboys regaled a split- ting audience with renditions of all types of string music in last Tuesday's assembly. The musicians were brought to the JC au- dience through the courtesy of station KOY. Emceeing was announcer Jack Williams who also handles their daily ra- dio program. The western-clad musicians ably dem- onstrated with their numbers the effect upon the music and make-up of a string band that different races have. A special- ty of theirs, Four Or Five Times, might well have come from under the baton of Tommy Dorsey. VOL. -I8 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, MARCH IS, I946 No. 20 PJC' Coeds Head Citrus Ball Attractive JC Coeds, Jane Jones and Betty Luitiens, recently chosen attendants of Arizona's Grapefruit Queen of I946, Anna Sue Amann, will reign over festivi- ties of the annual Citrus Ball to be held tomorrow nite at the Hotel Westward Ho. Runners-up in the city-wide contest of feminine pulchritude, the -two JC girls have been busy attending meetings, luncheons and dinners and being photo- graphed extensively for the purpose of advertising one of Arizona's top indus- tries- the citrus crop. A newcomer to the college but already well-acquainted on the campus, Miss Jones says l am very much impressed with Phoenix and especially JC. The school has a good academic as well as extra-curricular program. Everything has been wonderful during this festivity. A promising freshman, Miss Luitjens, is a member of Kappa Delta Nu soroity, Masque and Dagger and Eta Chi Epsilon. Speaker Advises Cleaner Living The law of averages shows that the people who practice clean living and high ideals live the happiest lives, according to Dr. Charles Kendall who spoke in Tuesday's assembly. Pointing out the fact that people use the law of averages in beginning business- es, expressed the conviction that this law could be made applicable to our daily living. Thus, he explained, the removal of obstructions and dangers in living would be just as logical and profitable as the improvement of dangerous roads and highways, proved safer by the law of averages. Dr. Kendall believes that this high level of individual engineering, in complete opposition to the theory of trial and error with no basic moral stand- ard, means the only hope for those which the law of averages selects for person- ality disintegration. Dr. Kendall, pastor of the Central Methodist Church, is active .in many ef- forts to promote a better community. Certain law firms send their divorce cases to him for counciling, and he is especially recognized for his outstanding work to solve the problem of iuvenile delinquency. Bear Day Fever Hits FPJC Campus As Plans Outlined Bear Day fever is in the air again, so let this be fair warning to hunt out those dusty Indian clubs and start toughening up for the kill. Referred to in the Blue Book as inter-class competition , Bear Day, as any sophomore or faculty member can tell you, is all that and more, too. Although the official holiday is Friday, May 3, the run-offs Z RECENTLY APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE 1946 BEAR DAY, Les Metzger is also an out- standing basketball star. Cotton Cotillion Dance To Be Held In Gym March 22 Ushering in spring in a gala manner, the Executive Board will sponsor a dance, the Cotton Cotillion , for lovers of cot- ton and levis, next Friday night, March 22, from nine to twelve in the JC gym- nasium. Cotton and spring flowers will be util- ized to create the proper Spring atmos- phere, and Paul Cocanower's orchestra will furnish music in a trip the light fan- tastic mood. Committees appointed for the dance include decoration, Kay Hughes, chair- man, Betty Sawyer, Barbara Best and Charlotte Lubbman. In charge of refresh- ments will be Emma Jean Foord and Alice Ryan. MOVIE - JANE EYRE 8: l5 TONIGHT AUDITORIUM i NO ADMISSION PUBLIC INVITED in competitive sports between the fresh- men and sophomores begin in the after- noons several weeks before, according to Miss Herron, physical education instruc- tor. These contests, each supervised by a student and faculty chairman, include golf, bowling, badminton, basketball, soc- cer, baseball, football, tennis, marathon, archery, diving, and table tennis. Foot races, sack dashes, and bicycle, swim- ming, and boat races also help supply the athletic events of the day. Requiring less skill but just as much endurance are the peanut race, spelling bee,'tug-o'-war, pie- eating contest, and beard-growing contest lmales onlyli. To start the day-right, the toughest basketball game is held at JC, after which the party moves on to either the tradition- al Boy Scout Pueblo or Riverside where most of the finals are held. In these spir- ited events the umpire is a highly impor- tant factor, for his reputation and that of the freshman or sophomore class may hang in the balance of a decision. This year it has been suggested that a dance be held when the picnic ends at four p.m., but no definite plans have been made. A 2l-year-old tradition at JC, Bear Day has left many traces'of good-time mem- ories and also a trophy display in the Club Room. Frosh Elect Class Officers In the Freshman Class meeting last Friday, the following were elected as class officers for this the second semester: President, Verne Cook, Vice-president, Harley Kelleyg Secretary, Claude Burris, Treasure, Al Pufferg Freshman Represen- tative, Pat Lindsayg Frosh Representatives to AMS Cabinet, Don Olliver, Gerald In- gram and Hal Royden. A group of students, identified as vet- erans, left the meeting early. Although enough people were there to vote, the number of students not there was startling.

WHEN WE GET OUR TEETH JARRED out and our axles broken as we progress at the terrifying speed of three miles per hour through the west parking lot, we wonder resignedly if speed traps must be hazards even to pedes- trians. We wonder if the value of the yawning caverns is worth ruining tires, knocking engines out, jarring bolts off and perhaps causing concussion in drivers and passengers. There is even danger of lurching into parked cars when an exceptionally deep hole tears the wheel from the grip,of a stu- dent who is flying all over the car anyway. I Whether this is impractical due to the budget of the maintenance fund, whether other things are more .necessary we have no way of knowing. But we do know that if something isn't patched up soon the road outside will be crammed, while the lot will be- come a Saragossa Sea of student cars. .. 0, -. WE NOTICED the other day that the American people are be- ing urged to tighten theirtbelts, voluntarily, that our allies and enemies shall not perish from the earth. We noticed too during the war that even with ,rationing it was al- most the style to beat the little stamp books. We decried the black market, but it was the most flourishing business in the coun- try outside the Defense Plant Cor- poration. Now the BLACK MAR- KET wasn't run on a charity basis. X Someone played consumer. As much as the American peo- ple may think of themselves, it is an indisputable fact that when it comes to their stomachs interna- tionalism can be dumped into their already amply filled garbage cans. lf our government is sincere in its proposal to aid the starving it is obvious, to us at least, that the only method by which this can be accomplished is rationing-whe- ther we like it or not. You can lead a horse to the water, but you have to take the water away when he's had his quota. A .lc,,i The report of the United States mission on the effect of the atomic blows on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was surprising and jar- ring. Various articles have been written showing that the flimsy construction of Japanese cities was the only reason the atomic bomb had such a devastating ef- fect there. The mission report dis- proves this theory entirely. The strong modern buildings stood, yes, but they were wrecked in- side by the shock of the blast. Most assuredly, we cannot over- emphasize the importance and power of this bomb. George Ber- nard Shaw recently quipped, The atomic bomb has made war un- profitable, so its already outmod- ed.

Afterk fascism has turned the proletariat movement in Europe to a shambles, Peter is thrown up with a great deal of other debris in neutral Portugal. Koestler probes deeply into the personalities of his char- acters. . As Peter waits for passage abroad he is torn between the desire to sail for Eng- land where he can continue the fight against fascism and the impulse to flee to America where his love, Odette, awaits him. These two forces, pulling in opposite directions, are the casuative factors of Peter's being attacked by a fever which leads to a prolonged illness and the paraly- sis of his right leg. l-'le cannot use his leg because he does not know where to go. To assist Peter in recovering physically and mentally, and to help him find out where to go, Sonia, who is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyzes Peter. She succeeds in laying bare the malignant conflicts in the deep recesses of his mind which cannot escape its memory of the past. Peter has believed that his life has been a betrayal of those who relied upon him. He betrayed the trust of those who relied upon him in that he allied himself with others whom he betrayed in turn. To show Peter the fallacy lurking behind his guilty sense of treachery becomes Sonia's chief task-a fascinating, engrossing task which reminds one of Somerset Maug- ham's observation, The mystic sees the ineffable: the' psychoanalyst, the un- speakablef' -M. H. Torture Begins For Pledges Today marks the beginning of six weeks subservience and harassing for women's social club pledges at Junior Col- lege and culminates recent rush teas and picnics given to better acquaint prospec- tive pledges with the active members of campus sororities. Bids for second sem'ester's pledges were issued to the several clubs yesterday itoo late to be included in this issuel from the office of the Dean of Women, who heads the social groups. The pledge period, which extends over a period of 'six weeks, will be climaxed by formal initiations, the dates to be decided by the various clubs. By Oldtimers of Campus Although Friday, May 3rd, is a week- day, there will be no lclasses, since it is Bear Day-the culmination to two months of rivalry in sports between the freshmen and the sophomores, is a picnic, usually at the Heard Pueblo in the South Mountains. Bear Day was originally held during the first week in April but usually the Arizona sun failed so that dressing for swimming in the manner suggested by the name of the day was a bit chilly and only the brav- est dipped even their feet into the water -therefore, it has been scheduled for late April or early May the past couple of years. ,ai Jiggaw Puzzle Then Doc Hannelly likes to spin the tale about the jig-saw phonograph puzzle worked the night after one fateful Bear Day. JC dancers had borrowed a S300 phonographed to make the music while they danced. Coming back that night, the phonograph found that it itself was dancing, aided by the bumps in the road. Finally the truck went thru a big dip and the phonograph danced right off and land- ed looking like Humpty-Dumpty iafter his falll. Working in secret and against time, one of two boys worked on into the night, putting it together again piece by piece. At three o'clock that morning, they had beat the man who couldn't put Humpty- Dumpty together again-the phonograph was as good as new and not even the Doc himself with a fine microscope could tell that the case was a fine mosaic of fitted- together pieces and not the original S300 model that had been. Bearded Bums Battled As 'a fitting climax to our story and a comeon to all our men for the beard-grow- ing contest, there's the time that two- bearded giants engaged in a wrestling match, and found that the best way to moider that bum was to get the famous strangle hold on respective beards. Two lives were saved only when the referee stepped in to stop the battle which by that time was one to the finish. We hope that won't happen this year-but if it does, you'll feel better if you were there! ,- EMACWTITWIWP. EMACWTITWIWP. Elephants means a cigarette with to- bacco in them wrapped in white paper.

A graduate'of Ohio State University, Page 82 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE X Browne Addresses I Town Hall Meeting Ours is the first civilzation to create liberty, equality and fraternity, and this has been made possible with the coming of the machine age, said Lewis Browne, English-born author and lecturer, at the last Phoenix Town Hall meeting held in the North Phoenix High School Auditor- ium on March 4. Browne's most important point is that our minds must be streamlined as our machines have been streamlined. The Industrial Revolution deserves a psycho- logical revolution, and we must stop doting on mistily conceived 'glories of the past' and face reality. According to Browne the machihe age gave us railroads, bringing about national- ism. Now the machine has given us air- planes and must bring about interna- tionalism. Today we must realize that not only are equality and fraternity possi- ble, but that they are absolutely necessary. The speaker said that production of the machine by man and allowed to run un- limited, twenty-four hours a day, it would result in a state of plenty for all and do away with competition, greed and rivalry. When a thing becomes so plentiful it can be given away, it loses its power to create rivalry. . He gave his definition of good business, anything which makes for more goods, anything which makes for better and fairer distribution of goods. The speaker tendency to cling to old being a fallacy of vested refuse to scrap old ma- it is considered a form of investment. By this the selfish few pre- vent the installation of new and better products of a machine world. remarked the machinery as interests who chinery while In closing, Browne warned that if this psychological revolution is not made within the next decade, none of us can expect to live to old age in anything but misery. tBooks dealing with this subject and recom- mended Dy the speaker are Anatomy of Peace by Emery Reeves and Modern Man ls Obsolete by Norman Cousinsl Below is given the opponent and score of each PJC game of the 1945- 46 basketball season.

From the fire disaster of the Duhame Construction Company, located on North Central Avenue, came the tragic story of a 67-year-old man, his wife, and crippled son who had iust returned from the war. The fire destroyed their life savings of 56,000 and all their belongings while they attended a picnic on Sunday after- noon, March 3. Kappa Delta Nu is sponsoring the col- lection of a fund to be given to the family and the contributions and cooperation of the other sororities and the student body will be appreciated. Twelve Cagers Get Awards Nine athletic letters and three sweaters were awarded to members of the 1946 PJC cage team for their contributions to a season's record of fourteen wins in twenty-eight starts. Those receiving sweaters for two years of jaycee competition were Les Metzger, Daffy Douthit, and John Krell. One year letters were presented to Stan Brookins, George Owens, Jack Holland, Louis Hall- man, Dario Travaini, Bob Howell, Dan Sheets, Dick Lawitzke and manager Don Landy. Metzger and Douthit led the Bruin scorers for the season with 354 and 307 points respectively. The season's record of fourteen games won in twenty-eight contests is far more commendable than the books indicate as a result of the ,high caliber of opposition faced by the Bears. In fifteen games the Bruins went out of their class by tackling service, commercial, and four year college teams. . The EXECUTIVE BOARD elected in their meeting on March 7 Joan Swartzell as chairman of the Easter Stamp Sales. The drive is for the benefit of the crip- pled children. Others elected to serve on the committee are Bob Osborn and Joy Schweickhardt. , The PJC veterans organization, which was organized February 25, met on Mon- day during Activity period in the Auditor- ium and elected the following officers who will serve for one semester: Robert Lang, treasurer, John McCormack, committee chairman of club relations with the Vet- erans' Administration: Paul Erickson, committee chairman of club relations with the college, and Harley Kelley, social chairman. The name of the organization was de- cided by ballot to be Veterans' Alliance. The club will call another meeting soon to take up the question of admitting Mer- chant Mariners to the organization. Katy Toy, ratinghighest in JC'c drive among bond salesman, with a total of 66 sales, was presented an 518.75 bond by Barbara Best, Student Bond Sales chair- man, in Tuesday's assembly.

They are merely being tested for their mechanical ability. One of the most interesting of these is the various performance tests for budding ar- tists. One consists of a booklet of one hundred plates of masterpieces. A choice must be made between a true copy of the original and a distorted one. Thirty-five occupations, ranging from farming to the ministry, are included in this proiect. To all G.l.'s with no pensionable dis- abilities who wish training or further schooling, the Veterans' Administration offers these excellent free individual sur- veys, or aptitude tests. Only those ap- plying for rehabilitation education or training onthe job are required to take these tests. First'the veteran must make an ap- pointment at the Veterans' Administration Office in the Ellis Building. There he discusses his individual problems in the light of experience, education, military background, and hospital records. With fthe help of an interest inventory, person- ality inventory, and a survey of various abilities and aptitudes, he comes to a conclusion as to the possible type of sur- vey he should take. The veteran then comes to JC where the surveys are administered by Mr. E. M. Andres and Assistant Psychometrist Mrs. Gregg. Scored byfmachine, the surveys are then sent back to the Veterans' Adminis- tration where the veteran meets again with his advisor and with him works out an objective of education or employment. Cotton Cotillion Tonight Levis, plaid shirts, gingham dresses, and broomstick skirts will predominate in gay confusion at the Cotton Cotillion dance being held in the JC Gym tonight from nine to twelve. Along with the decorations of cotton and spring flowers, the music of Paul Cocanower's orchestra will provide the mood for a regular springtime iamboree. F T ' in-'zc.., .

TRACKMEN PRACTICE. FOR NATIONAL MEET Pointing toward the National Track and Field meet to be held on May l5, at JC, trackmen are slowly rounding into shape after three weeks of practice. Although there are many potential athletes now on campus, only twelve have reported to Coach Hoy. Coach is plan- ning to enter his thinclads in some of the invitational meets held on the coast, as well as the Midwest meet as soon --as a formidable squad is worked into shape. There are also possibilities of duel meets with the freshmen of Arizona colleges and some of the west coast junior colleges. Three hundred and seventy-three invi- tations have been issued to the junior colleges located in forty-four states. A special invitation has been sent to the junior college in the Panama Canal zone, and Mr. Ralph Romero, president of the Mexican Athletic Association, has been invited to enter a relay team in the featured mile race. Runners who have been w'orking out during the past few weeks are: Rudy Abney, William Adent, Bob Armour, Emmett Chappelle, Bill Smokey Diaz, Bob Easley, Bob Kraft, Giles Shivers, Don Skousen, Fred Tomkinson, Thomas Toun- send, and J.

Mrs. Roosevelt, World Citizen, Personifies Global Unity Last Monday a numerically and responsively satisfying gathering heard Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, a rare example of the often dis- cussed world citizen, speak on Your Community and the World Today. The first impression was one of the time of the Shakespearian play, when a part of the audience was seated upon the stage. Color, race, and creed representing the character of the whole audience had overflowed in neat rows on the stage. A beautiful basket of flowerstfrom the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Col- ored People stood near the micro- phone. There was the feeling of the heterogeneity of America and the world+indicated in the au- dience-personified in the speak- er. I When she stepped before the microphone the audience imme- diately arose in tribute to her. All through her speech one got the feeling that here was a great re- servoir of knowledge-yet there was so much that she could not tell us which at times made it ac- tually difficult for her to be frank. lt was like reading a review of a confidential report peppered with those series of little dots that mean censored. Especially dur- ing the question period could the difficulties be seen, when mem- bers of the audience would bring up pertinent world problems. But her answers evidenced a tremen- dous amount of knowledge and careful thought behind each one -which she presented to us, se- lected and classified in clear and forthright phrases. The dynamic personality, the great spirit of the world we are trying to build, epi- tomized by her, the words from the front lines of peace held the audience in attentive silence throughout. Factors Involved In Russian Misunderstanding She felt that our difficulty with was because of several Russia things. They are a young nation diplomats are unsure of whose themselves in the presence of the trained diplomats of England and the United States. The task of trying to speak through an inter- preter makes discussion awkward and ticklish. The modus vivendi in Russia, Poland, and the other Slavic nations' is and has been for a long time, to liquidate the op- position, whereas we live with the opposition and strike a balance. This cannot be overcome at a word. We must build collective security through the U N O. Economically it is imperative that we help rebuild Europe to es- tablish sound productive relations for the future. We must help them to make life worth living, for when it is not worth living the seeds of war fall onifertile ground.

His latest hallucination finds him the fair-headed prophet of an approach- ing World War lll. He has not been so kind as to reveal how he has chosen up sides for this conflict, but his remarks leave little room for an enemy that could be other than our present allies from the Steppes. 4 So far, the only proof for this approach- ing war has been sensational Churchill- type spy scares, and Winchell's delivery -the impressive staccato of both the tele- graph key and his voice. While arguing that he isltrying to prevent this war by warning the American people in advance, Winchell for shall it be Winchill?J has of- fered no tangible course for us to follow and has done little more than fan the al- ready too prevalent spark of pink sus- picion to an extremely warlike red hatred which might easily lead to world disaster.

G.M. l BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE page, 85 THE SHAPE OF TOMORROW Arthur Koestler, as one of the most creative and provocative of the present day intelligensia, deals with the two ulti- mate extremes of social behavior in his collection' of essays, The Yogi and The Commissarf' The Yogi is the introvert who withdraws from social life and pur- sues the mystery of the final meaning of life 'by self-contemplation, seeking to synchronize his personal self with the ultimate force of the universe. The com- missar represents the incarnate extrovert who carries his extroversion to the final degree of tyranny over others, believing that change can only be inaugrated from external alteration-the violent distruc- tion of the present order and the titanical construction of a new order. The Yogi divorces violence from action. He will not kill a fly, but the terrifying possibility exists that the flies he does hot kill may bring a plague with death and suffering to a whole province. The Commissar believes in the a priori necessity of violence. He does not shrink at experiment .upon millions of human lives and he detests those who feel no compulsion to wholesale experimentation as being absurd anti-vivisectionists who are more dangerous than the most brutal reactionaries. The Yogi and The Commissar pur- sues devious pathways and a wilderness of detoursin bringing out the defects and the strong points of both these arch types of alterationists who seek to change the world. - Although Koestler is pessimistic about the immediate future, he has faith in the coming, in perhaps two or three genera- tions, of a great spiritual spring tide of hope which will lift mankind to far greater heights, such as that of the early Christ- ianity or the Reneissance. His faith in the coming of this spiritual spring tide is derived from the belief that humanity is in desperate need of such a Zeitgeist of hope, hope, which is abundantly creative by its very nature. Koestler believes that the Soviet Union offers no hope as a possible source of the surging tide of hope the world demands. As the Russian Revolution has run its course, the external as well as the en- docrine nature of the Soviet Union was altered so radically that the Soviet reality now bears no practical relation to the Soviet myth. Koestler investigates the Soviet Union in its present state and finds it progressive only in its economic struc- ture and regressive in its political, social, educational, and cultural aspects. To wean the left from dependence upon the Soviet illusion is thus cited as one of two major tasks of our time. -M.

Camping at Prescott is also made possible for the crippled boys and girls in this way. 0..-.i1 JC Engineering Club Meets At Luncheon The PJC Engineering Club, a student chapter of the American Association of Engineers, held a luncheon meeting at the W.M.C.A. last Thursday for the Phoenix chapter of the A.A.E. The program consisted of demonstra- tions in mathematics, chemistry and physics, and several musical selections. Richard Thomas, Frank Luke, and,Harry Dong gave the mathematical demonstra- tion in which they proved such things as, one equals zero and two equals one. Physical experiments, given by Hal Roy- den and Eugene Beaty, involvedithe oper- ation of an electric train by the use of a microphone. ln the demonstration of chemistry reactions Harold Buckles and Eddie Haws showed that electrical energy can be gotten from several metals by em- ploying chemical assets. The musical part of the program consisted of violin selec- tions by Wilbur Hoff and Charles Wallis, an accordian arrangement by Robert Wolf, two speciality numbers with a guitar and harmonica by William Diaz, and a part by Bob McDannold at the drums and tuba.

The Lettermen's Club met last week and elected the following officers who will serve for one semester: president, Bob Howell, vice-president, Les Metzger, and secretary, George Owens. A The main topic of discussion at the meeting was the coming National Junior College Track and Field Meet of which Phoenix Junior College has been named host college for the next five years. Coach Hoy informed club members that they will be charged with a large share of the promotion and handling of the jaycee classic. The Executive Board chose Esther Boedecker as chairman of the election committee for the special election of student body vice-president. Others on the committee are Kenneth Ryker, Jean Pearson, Allan Rand, and Barbara Somer- vell. Tom Athletic Commissioner, and appointed to committee to gain approval of tennis playing on the campus Allison was approved as new head a Sunday courts. ' The Board also began planning the annual rodeo dance to be held this year on 'April llth. ' Wings And Goggles expects the arrival of its second plane, an Aronca Champion, sometime this week. With it they hope to take in fifteen or twenty new members from the long waiting list. So far the club has been limited to twenty members. The. club is justly proud of Frank Luke' and John Austin who made their solo flights on March 2 and i3 respectively. The French Club will hold a meeting Activity period next Wednesday in the Club Room at which a former PJC student and member of the FRENCH CLUB will speak. He is Major Denver McWilliams of the Army. He saw service in the Euro- pean area and due to his knowledge of French was better able to observe life and customs of the people in France during his stay there. The German Club held an initiation picnic for new members last Saturday at the Ship. Pledges were led blindfolded through the ruins of Berlin which were represented by the old house. Some of them, still blindfolded were given a horse- back ride-the horse was loaned by a small boy who happened to be passing by. After the ceremonies supper was served and German songs were sung. The Registrar's Office reported that two hundred students are now enrolled in the night classes which began last week. This does not include those who have not finished paying dues. The Mixed Chorus sang for the Ameri- can Association of University Women last New Hillel Group Organizes, Elects Temporary Officers Highlighted by the election of officers, was the first formal meeting of the newly organized Hillel group here at JC. Those elected were president, Eleanor Cohen, and secretary-treasurer, Florence Kalman- ovsky. These were elected temporarily until the club becomes more organized. The meeting was held last Friday in the Executive Board Meeting Room. The Hillel Foundations are sponsored by B'nai B'rith, America's oldest and largest service organization, to bring a more adequate knowledge of their heri- 'tage to the Jewish students on the col- lege campus. lt is not meant to separate the Jewish student from the rest of the student body, but is merely a supplement to college life as is any extra-curricular activity. Plans are being made for a get-to1 gether party with Hillel members from the college at Tempe. Rabbi Krohn is the club sponsor and Miss Fay Friedland is the parliamentarian. 1 Wednesday. ' .f ' - f .lg .... ADVENTURE, starring Clark Gable and Greer Garson, is the next picture sched- uled at the Orpheum Theater. The film is incoherent, maudlin, vulgar, absurd, and altogether depressing. And Mr. Mc- Carten, the reviewer for New Yorker says that it's because he is a kindly man that he says only this. Clark Gable, looking fit like a fighter pilot, and Thomas Mitchell, looking for his soul, find the icy and poised Greer Garson behind a library checking desk. Mr. Gable, as per usual, melts all the ice around with that old feeling. PM says that this couldn't have been Mr. Gable's postwar dream any more than it could have been what Miss Garson has been prepping for. Time thinks that they'll both recover, however. This week's bouquet goes to Kath- leen Riordan, who represented Eta Chi Epsilon at the Regional Meeting of the American Home Economics Association 'of Student Clubs in Las Cruzes, New Mexico, Miss Riordan gave a splen- did account of herself and of the ac- tivities of Eta Chi Epsilon.

Junior College represents the close of education for most students, and it is fitting that the inventory be given then. lf you are t0 graduate in January l'4-7J, you should take them now to avoid being inconvenienced later. There is a growing interest in the track meet to be held in Phoenix dur- ing the latter part of May. This is a tremendous undertaking, and Coach Hoy will need help in a surprising number of lines. Every organization on the campus should be interested. lt would be gratifying if each organi- zation would send a representative to see the Coach, and offer to take, as a specific duty of that organization, a certain part of the detailed planning and operation of the Meet.

Hannelly is the faculty chair- man of Bear Day. x New Track Team Takes Shape Coach Hoy reports that PJC's first post-war track team will be bolstered by a number of former high school stars. Bill Smokey Diaz and Emmett Chap- pelle, a couple of ex-Gl's, are two out- standing prospects. Diaz lettered four years at Capistrano, California, and was state prep mile champ- ion in his junior and senior years. He was also a member of the two-mile relay team which set a national prep record in I939 which still stands. His best recorded time for the mile is 4:22.7. Chappelle, former Carver High star, ran second to Frankie Miller of North in the i942 Greenway two-mile Miller, in beating Chappelle, was High event. forced to set a state record in that event which still stands.

RELENT AND RETURN Last Monday, April I, in the dead of night six of the largest trophies were pur- loined from their case in the Bear Den. There were, in fact, seven pieces, the last one stolen from the Registrar's office- a squat, round, gold one with a concave lid and the hole in this. lt seems the robber broke in through the window but left no finger prints. The coach had thought that by keep- ing it a secret perhaps the marauder might be more easily apprehended. As this theory did not prove valid he broke down and consented to a story on it in hopes that either the plunderer might relent and return the precious loot or that someone else might then be able to track him down. The Honors Assembly will be a farce without them and their actual cashzvalue is nothing in comparison with their senti- mental and traditional value. of campus life. The visitors will be welcomed in the auditorium at 7:45 by President E. W. Montgomery, and entertained by piano selections and a presentation of ExcIus- ive Model, by Dramatics Arts 81. Following the program in the audi- torium the visitors will inspect the class- rooms and laboratories where demonstra- tions and experiments will serve as an in- ventory of almost a year's diligent ac- complishments. Visitors are usually awed by the artificial lighting, thrilled by the canvasses and sketches of the art exhibit, impressed by the foreign atmosphere of the Language department, delighted by the delicious food and drink served by the Home Economic's department, and in- terested by the exhibits of all the other departments. The program in the auditorium will in- clude addresses by President Montgomery, Dean Wyman and welcoming speeches-by Esther Boedecker, and Les Metzger. A relaxing atmosphere will be provided by piano recitals of Jackie Salyards and Shirley Peebles and a production of Exe clusive Model. The cast includes Bob Hirsch, Sarah Schwartz, Verne Cook, Barbara Somervell, and Billie Niethercutt. Progressive Education Cited By Busey in Veterans Meet Ray Busey, mayor-elect of Phoenix, em- phasizing the importance of progressive education, acted as guest speaker at the meeting of the Veterans' Alliance on last Monday in the Auditorium. He pointed out the close relationship between education and good citizenship: To be a really good citizen one must keep abreast with school, city, state, and na- tional governments. V Take part in every school election! Know for whom you are voting and take sides! the speaker urged, 'corroborating the belief of the Veterans' Alliance that school elections are taken too lightly.

The speech of Marshal Stalin and the consequent report of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Iran has given the world new hope that the fragile peace may persist and even out-last the lives of most of the living world's inhabitants. The proclamation of Stalin's that voiced the desire of the people of the world to have peace in our time made a fitting prelude to the meeting which began on Monday in New York of the Security Council of the United Nations. lt is also appro- priate that the announcement should come from Washington that the Atom bomb tests in the Pacific Ocean would be postponed-. To bomb 37 warships with the worst destructive instrument conceivable is not the most peaceful pursuit one can imagine. Last week Herbert Lehman, former UNRRA Director, announced that the only effective action which could alleviate the desperate world food conditions would be a return on the part of the United States to food rationing. The entire mishandling of relief has its roots in the lamentable fact that people are actually indifferent to the prospect of having a stable world. Peace is wonderful if it doesn't cost anything, if it doesn't require any sacrifice, if it doesn't incur inconveniences. Our great gesture to millions of starving people is that we will eat so- called dark bread. One wonders how many people realize that the Canadian people are actually doing something to contribute to world peace when they ithe Canadiansi ration meat and 'thus cut down on the consumption of grain by livestock. But what brave legislator would dare propose that Americans return to sharing food through ration- ing+it's such a bother. One can only dimly perceive the bother of starving to death. V Since we are not legislators and need not be timid in such matters we can press the need for returning to rationing. A return to rationing would leave the further attraction of ensuring the equitable distribu- tion of scarce goods among ourselves-hence eliminating these scram- ble orgies which develop when stores offer for sale items which are hard to get. lf You Ask Me by Eleanor Roosevelt is a new book by the former First Lady of the land. It is divided into two portions: The first part consists of questions put to her by the celebrities and the notorious who fight to steal scenes in the endless drama enacted in the limelight. Those limelight lovers often in their questions to her are calculating to cash in on her influence over public opinion. The second section is devoted to standees of the world ithe common peoplel who in turn ask her questions. Some are malicious, some insatiatably curious, some groping for answers to their tragic problems, With tact, subtle wit, grave concern, and an adroit gift for turning aside the questions latent with odious intent, Mrs. Roosevelt answers the questions and in so doing, the deep reserves of her character unfold just as the philosophy of Plato is enumerated in his dialogues. a -M H AND IN THIS CORNER .... fQuipped at the Cotton Cotillion last Friday night: The modern wallflower is the girl who dances all the time.

He died of malnutrition the day before the scheduled lecture. One of the waiters of the women's dorms! at West Virginia University has written a book tentatively called Vital Statistics.

Important meetings were held and ad- dresses were given by Democratic leaders climaxed with a speech by President Tru- man who pled with the party to present a united front-an apt plea, for the Demo- cratic Party is now split into two factions. The right wing of the Democratic Party is dominated by the Southern Democrats who are state's rights, anti-labor policy, and anti-Negro. ,The left wing is in favor of the federal government's assuming more responsibility for social welfare, the extension of the rights of organized labor, and racial equality. A peculiar coalition has been worked out by the Southern Democrats and Re- publicans in Congress. They have united to wreck the OPA, block the Federal Housing Bill, to fight the loan to Britain, andto defeat the 65c minimum wage bill. The Republican Party, to a lesser de- gree, is split internally. Since l932 the GOP has been the opposition. They have had to oppose nearly every measure the incumbent Democrats have set forth, even though they, the GOP, have had to em- body in their election platforms the prin- ciples that the Democrats created. Coupled with this oppositional point of view is the heritage of the Republican Party, of being a defendant of business and commercial interests in contrast to the Democrat's defense ofthe small farm- ers and the industrial worker. Thus, since the depression Democrats, as liber- als, have stood for social and economic crusading, while Republicans, as conserva- tives, have espoused the return to the normalcy of the l92O's. Two factors which may alter the Amer- ican political process are the CIO Political Action Committee and the Independent Citizens Committee of Arts, Sciences and Professions. ' Historically the unions have function- ed as economic safeguards and only rare- ly as a creative political force. This, per- haps, is about to be altered. The anti- labor tension, as well as the present indif- ference to progressive social and econom- ic legislation, has caused the unions, es- pecially the CIO, to go directly into the political field and endorse candidates who are friendly to labor and socio-economic progressivism. . - ' The professional, artisan and scientific groups have often possessed within their ranks men who were highly educated and intensely aware of their social responsibi- lity. The ICCASP is attempting to con- verge these together and thus to, exert a creative political force representing in- telligent and sensetive opinion. - M. H.

The following week's assembly, the week of April 9, will be given under the auspices of Kappa Delta Nu. Out of three contests sponsored by the ARIZONA SPEECH ART LEAGUE in its annual contest held at Tucson last week, PJC walked off with two firsts and one second. Grace Stokes and Harry Dunham, who debated on The Establishment of Free Trade, chalked up four wins and no los- ses to take first place in the debate con- TESL Carl Nelson won first place on an ex- temporaneous speech, and Joel Leetham, second place with an oration in a special contest concerning peace.

There was a splendid turnout at the dance last Friday. Seemedklike old times to see l50 to 200 couples at- tending the dance. All JC dances are date dances, so get your date for the next dance early. This week's bouquet goes to Mr. Smelser and his speech arts league group who represented themselves so splendidly at Tucson on March 22 and 23. The group brought home two first places and one second place out of 3 contests. The well done one-act play we saw in assembly was prepared for this occasion. Next year PJC will be host to the Speech Arts League group from the colleges of the State. THE SOCIAL CLUBS Eta Chi today will play host to more than fifty girls attending the Regional Future Home- makers Convention, a high school organi- zation affiliated with the American Home Economics Association. The day's ac- tivities will include registration and a busi- ness meeting tomorrow morning at 8:30 followed at l2:3O by a luncheon prepared and served' by Eta Chi. The meeting will continue in the afternoon with club re- ports and discussion groups and will ad- journ at 4:00. Seven counties in Arizona are being represented at this meeting. KDN in last Monday's meeting discussed plans for their Minstrel Show, which will be given in assmebly on April 9. Phi Lamb pledges discussed plans for their party 'to be given to the actives of the clubs in the near future. ' Alpha Sig looked for talent in their meeting of last Monday for their coming assembly on April I6. The club met Tuesday night in the Club Room to discuss social problems. Theta I is planning an opera to be given in as- sembly on April 23. Members Julie Ann Gardner and Drinette Slatten are at this moment working on the words and music for the opera. BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 93 ECCE HOMO ' -a A CHlLD'S GARDEN i A Philosopher spoke in Phoenix last Monday night-Dr. Will Durant, author of books on philisophy, civilization, and libertarian education. At times he spoke as a philosopher- above and beyond the audience on a gold and silver cloud, at other times he spoke as a part of the erring, evolving world. Introduced to the audience as a real human being and one of us, I wondered at this eagerness in people to bring great men of action and thought down to the human our level. They wear clothes made of cloth, they eat steaks, they clean their fingernails with a file, look! You needn't be afraid--they are iust like you and me. Of course we paid to see them or read them because they wear clothes out of angel hair and clean their nails on the points of stars and not because they might have a greater sense of per- ception and a broader knowledge to pass on to us. Having admitted his present opinion is influenced by his senility, he believes order to be the most important factor in achieving a civilized state--the order of the soul whose moral code has divine sanction. The Christian religion preaches the feminine virtues of gentleness and kindness to an already too masculine people. Our instincts of acquisitiveness, reproduction, and pugnacity fit us more for the jungle than the city. We must prune liberty to make it grow. Free- dom, he quotes Dewey, is not violation of natural law, but intelligent and orderly behavior. We should not iudge quickly, we should obey convention as the experience of the race and violate it only modestly, we will never eliminate private property because, next to the love of children, it is the greatest stimulus to human activity, we should follow the Golden Mean in everything. He would have us return to the soil that we may regain our moral roots, to Jeffersonian democracy -so impractical in our complex, interdependent world- so loved by tired philosophers. He calls the last war the Marvelous Murder Case. We allowed the world to get involved in a plight where barbarous acts were necessarily mutual, and we will have another as soon as we rear enough guIlible and shootable young men for cannon fodder-this because we are pug- nacious individually, which, multiplied by cities and nations, makes big chips on big shoulders ready to be knocked off. And so we have the philosophy of one man-eloquent conservatism. --G.

New Yorker says that the whole thing is designed to break your heart. Maureen O'Hara dies leaving the weep- ing child to her morose husband, John Payne, who as might be usual doesn't want her. William Bendix occasionally relieves the prevailing sorrow as he dabbles in child psychology with his comic touch. He manages to stop all the crying by the time the film ends. THE DEAN'S BOX The attention of young men who have a period of military service to serve is called to the Navy V-5 an- nouncement on the bulletin board in the Administration Building. A number of you may be interested. The Junior College through Eta Chi Epsilon and the Department of Home Economics played host Saturday to a new but very promising group of girls, from the high schools of the state who comprise future homemakers of Amer- ica. The making of fine homes is an adequate challenge to young women, and much good is to come from such a group. This week's Orchid goes to the Eta Chi Epsilon members who have again demonstrated their ability to do things in the splendid way in which they en- tertained the future homemakers of last Saturday. OF CURSES The latest architectural recipient of re- cent publicity is the curvaceous Fuller House lcheck in last week's LIFE? which at the low cost of 56,500 fully plumbed and delivered is offered by some as the answer to the present land future?l housing shortage. From now on, when they speak of a village mushrooming up, we will take this statement literally to mean a group of these houses designed to help the psychologists' demands for a well-rounded life. Can't you foresee the day a knock comes at the door and you open it to be greeted with- Good afternoon, is the lady of the brush in? l'm the Fuller House Man. This brings with it the problem of samples in keeping with the famous Fuller tradition. We all know what appropriate variation of the Fuller house would fit into the country scene, but the city haus- frau will probably have to be contented with a less spectacular Fuller doghouse. ' lt's pleasant to hear talk about one of the colored plagues more dangerous than the overworked shades and hues of red -the black market. The National Asso- ciation of Merchants and Manufacturers has already presented a plan to rid our nation of the black market menace: mere- ly remove all the ceiling prices, they say. The only result of this, according to our calculations, would be that legally obtain- ed goods would be so much more expens- ive than those on the black market that the racketeers would go broke, thus all profits would go to the National Asso- ciation of Merchants and Manufacturers. A companion piece to the remove-the- ceiling-school of thought is the raise-the- ceilings-and-save-American-dollars - from- the-black-market school. Just one ques- tion to the proponents of this system: ex- actly why should WE pay more for our goods in order to save the money of the foolish people who have been willing to buy under the counter in the past? There are only two other solutions left as we see it: the first, a national corollary which puts a tax iAlabama being a no tax on legal to the Alabama law on all bootleg liquor dry state, they need fire waterl is that the national govern- ment should place ceiling prices on all black markets. The drawback to thisiplan is that we'd probably be swamped with black market--leaving as the only prac- tical solution fdespite a recent statement of President Truman'sl a return to ration- ing. --J AG.

THESOSIGE CLUBS WINGS AND GOGGLES, PJC flying club, is making plans for a desert flying picnic to be held on some unused army practice strip. The date has not as yet been decided upon. The club's advisor, Mr. D. F. Stone, announced recently that every member has begun actual flying. Gus Engstrom has received his private license, and Floyd Stillwell and Art Kline will soon be ready to try for theirs. John Austin and Frank Luke were recently initiated for their first solo, while Marceline Seeman and Lor- raine Backes will soon be ready for solo- ing. .....i01..1 The new PEGASUS FLYING CLUB, organized last October and named for the flying Horse Constellation of Mythology, will include both students and faculty members of PJC and the two high schools. Their plane arrives on March 24. A third flying club, as yet unnamed, has been organized for students on the waiting list for Wings and Goggles.. Be- sides these, a few selected seniors from both high schools will be accepted. Their plane will be a Taylorcraft and is to ar- rive at the end of this week. THE SPANISH CLUB is completing plans for a trip to Nogales on May 5 to see the Mexican celebration, Cinco de Mayo, and observe the customs, dress, and language of the Mexican people. Students who are taking or who have taken Spanish, are invited and may still sign up with Mr. Monroe. They are also making plans for a hay- rack ride at Bud Brown's in the near future. Members and their dates will bring their own lunches. Views of the Black Forest and Castles along the Rhine were shown in colored films of points of interest along the Rhine in the regular Wednesday meet- ing of the German Club last week. Virginia Sexton also gave the story of The Lost Tower, and Mel Studer told of his experiences in seeing the Cologne and other famous Cathedrals. LAST TUESDAY'S. ASSEMBLY, .de- voted to the celebration of Army Day, was presented by the ROTC. Lt. Colonel Charles A. Appel, Luke Field Educational Officer, spoke in tribute to the Veterans of World War l and ll. At the end of the assembly a few of the students sang parts of the Star Spangled Banner. NEXT WEEK'S ASSEMBLY will be a Minstrel Show presented by Kappa Delta Nu, it is the first of a series of programs put on by the campus organizations in a highly competitive contest for the Mark Finley Trophy, a silver loving cup awarded to the group presenting the best assembly program during the year.

Vet Addresses French Club The French Club was entertained at its meeting of March 20 by former JC student Denver McWilliams who served as a special service officer in France. He told of his friendships among French families and how helpful his knowledge of the language, acquired with Miss Hunter, had been. Shirley Peebles, accompanied by Mary Lawrence, sang several French songs, and refreshments, prepared by Peg Talackson, were served. At their business meeting last week they planned the traditional Ffench break- fast, to be held this year at 5 a.m. April 9, for the first time since the beginning of the war. Newly elected President Eliza- beth Land will appoint committees to make arrangements. Dance Humorist Gives Creditable Peformance Iva Kitchell, outstanding dance humor- ist, gave one of this season's top perform- ances of the Phoenix Town Hall series on last Wednesday evening, March 28, at the North Phoenix High School Audi- torium. Miss Kitchell's performance consisted of various ballet routines tripped in the truly light fantastic. Assisted only by a musical background, the dancer showed an adroit skill in lightning-quick costume changes and expressive facial movements. Included in her numbers were the scenes When I Was Eight , depicting a small school childj Maisie at the Mov- ies , in which she portrays a typical wom- an entering the show who fidgits around, sees her chum on the other side of the house, leaves but forgets her purse, goes back, and then prances out iall dance stepsiy and Before the Ball which only an experienced woman could portray. In this number her facial movements ex- pressed the actual torture suffered during an average evening's getting ready to go. na-avwi VOL.

OPEN DOOR POLICY observed last Wednesday night on JC campus. Led by their eager offspring, bewildered and de- lighted parents wondered across a dark green campus beneath a glowing sky into the strangely lighted masses of concrete we inhabit daily in the name of education, viewing the tools and the results of seven months hard labor. JC Track Luminaries Cited Coach Hoy points with pride to Robert Langmade and J. C. Montgomery, a couple of ex-Gl's, as potential stars ot the I946 PJC track team. Langmade, 22 year old ex-sailor, was Greenway Meet high and low hurdles champion and Mesa Relays hurdles winner in l942. ln winning the Greenway 200 yard low-hurdles event Langmade estab- lished a record, and in the Mesa Relays, an event which has recently been discontinu- ed, he set a record which still stands. In the weight events Hoy is especially pleased with the work of Montgomery, who starred two years for JC football teams before entering the service. Now, he will attempt to attain the heights in track and field that he did as a gridiron star, specializing in the javelin throw. Sophomores To Take Exams on April I6-I8 The bane of all graduating students, the comprehensive examinations, will be held on April I6 and I8 in the Blue and Gold room under the direction of Mr. An- dres. Examinations on April 16 will begin during the second hour, and roll call will be taken on both days. Students who will graduate in May or will be eligible for graduation at the end of the next fall semester must take these examinations. A list of the students has been posted on the bulletin board in the Administration building. The tests will cover the curricula of the college. They will not be listed accord- ing to separate subjects but as tests on vo- cabulary, silent reading, interpretation of data, logical reasoning, ability to infer, and application of scientific method. Refreshments will be served at the Last Chance Bar for those desiring innocent snorts now and then. . On the decoration committee for the rodeo dance is Chairman Kay Hughes, Jack Cate, Joe Love, Bob Howell, Kenny Koebrick, Don Olliver, Norma Metcalf, Tommy Williams, Frances Hull, Jack Meadows, Don Cazdill, Betty Heflin, and Charlotte Lubman. Mixing drinks will be Joan Swartzell, Sherry Meyers, June lzard. Because the Haywire Stomp is non- budgeted, the cost will be 51.00 per couple, or for those cowboys going stag the admission will be 75 cents.

Many acute thinkers are disquiet- ed by the weakness of the UNO, seeing in the right of veto of the great powers a flaw which in the face of certain world conditions that might develop would prove fatal to the entire structure of the UNO and, consequently, to world peace. The peace of the world depends upon the Security Council of the UNO, and it depends in turn upon agreement among the Big Fivej These five nations, under the Charter of the UNO, have power to veto any action taken by the Security Council in halting aggres- sion. But, of course, the only na- tions powerful enough to really endanger world peace are these same Big Five-China, France, Britain, the USSR, and the USA- which establishes a loop-hole in the peace structure capable of dis- rupting world peace. It is our contention that the problem of ultimate world peace depends upon the curtailing of national sovereignty-for the ul- timate test of sovereignty is the ability to wage war, and it there- fore follows that without abolish- ing sovereignty one does not ac- tually touch the core of the prob- lem. But, instead of throwing up our hands in despair, we can perhaps look to the proceedings at Nurem- berg for an expedient safeguard which can hold the line against the F :- forces of war until the time is ripe for the creation of a real world state. Walter Lippman has cited the Nuremberg War Guilt Trials as the hope of peace. We can hope to see the time when the chaotic anarchy where sovereign states, responsible to no law but that of the limitations of military might, will give way and be dis- placed by an ordered internation- al system in which states are held responsible to an international law that is as stringent and powerful as that of the law over citizens within a state. In the Nuremberg Trials, for the first time in modern history, statesmen are being held respon- sible up to the point of paying with their lives for breaking peace, waging illegal aggressive war in violation of treaties, and of murdering in the course of these aggressive wars the citizens of vic- timized nations. The trials are exercising the power to decide up- on the guilt of statesmen in wag- ing illegal aggressive war against another country exactly as a coun- ty exactly as a county or state court tries a man for being guilty of murder. Here, perhaps, is the answer to the weakness of the Security Council. Beyond the legal con- fines of the UNO lies a no man's land without law which at Nurem- berg is transforming into an area presided over by the legal judg- ment of the world-a judgment so strong it can review, decide, and punish with the death penalty the actions of statesmen.

Similarly honored last Thursday evening were the presidents of Redlands University and Lo- yola' University. Track Members Singled Out As Potential Point-Winners With the National Junior College Track Meet in mind, Coach Hoy this week singled out three thin-clads who are com- parative newcomers to the spring sport as possible point-winners. Ex-sailor Thomas Townsend appears to be the fastest of Hoy's present crop of sprinters although he has had little high school experience. He is expected to shine in the l00 and 220 yard dashes. Giles Shivers, who like Townsend is from Carver High, is showing up well in the 220 and 440 yard runs. Rudy Abney, l6 year old freshman who gained some experience with North High last year, is training for the half-mile run. The Bear Tracks cartoonist is also ex- pected to run with the Bruins' mile relay team. For Annual Spring Prom lt's spring again!-and the PJC fresh- men are busy with plans for their annual spring program dance to be held in the gym from 9 to l2, April 27. A grand march will highlight the eve- ning and pastel decorations will provide the background for the rainbow colors of spring formals. Art Furman's seven-piece orchestra will be engaged to furnish the evening's music. This prom, planned by a committee made up of both semester's freshman of- ficers, is presented each spring in honor of the sophomores. Faculty members are also invited. ' Committee chairmen are Grace Hoggan, decorations, Jean Pearson, refreshments, Wayne Macdonald, programs and invita- tions, and Clyde Burris, furnishings. Scholarship Plan Announced Two SIOO cash competitive scholar- ships have been established by the Ameri- can Association of University Women, to be given each year, beginning this year, to a graduating high school or Junior College girl. The award will be made at the end of April to the winners who will be judged on scholarship, leadership, and coopera- tion. Any girl interested in competing should see Dean Gibson for full details. In addition to the new scholarship, the AAUW has had and will continue to main- tain a fund to help girls who are inter- ested in continuing their college work by lending S100 a year or a total of S200 for two years. There is no interest charged, but the girl is expected to pay back the borrowed sum after graduation. Sacred Singers Entertain Club Performing before an appreciative audi- ence, the SACRED SINGERS blended their voices in a program given for the Missouri Women's Club at the First Methodist Church on Tuesday, April 9. Under the direction of Earle Stone, the group pre- sented five songs. The program was com- pleted by the performances of Jackie Sal- yards, pianist, and Shirley Peebles, vocal- ist. Contest ls Tonight Deadlines for the tournaments to be culminated on Bear Day are rapidly ap- proaching. All bridge games must be completed by April 26, and tennis, ping pong, and badminton games by April 29. The men's softball game, held April 5, was won by the freshmen 9 to 8 after a flurry of excitement in the last inning when Bob Howell slid to home base. Pitching for the freshmen were Harley Kelley and Jim Beaman, their catchers, Stan Brookens and George Owens. The sophomore battery consisted of stellar pitcher Bob Hall and Les Metzger, catcher. Sophomores topped the freshmen in the mixed volleyball tournament held on April 9. ln their winning games sopho- mores paced the freshmen 2l-6, 2l-8, and 2l-l4. The lagging freshmen won their one game 2I-20. Other events held recently were ,toot- ball which the sophomores won 7-0, April lO on the track field, and golf at Encanto April ll. Mixed track events were held on the field April l5, while mixed rifle matches were completed on the Phoenix Union firing ranges. Bear Tracks was unable to tabulate the results of these games for this week's issue. A special request has been made by Les Metzger for a registered senior First Aider to be on hand at the Bear Day events. There is also a need for life guards and volunteers to help transport the food from school to the Boy Scout Pueblo, where the picnic is to be held. siiiiiviiilliviiiii STAPQING WALTER PlDGEON,MAUllEEN UHARA, RODDY MEDDWAIIWIJAIIIPY FITZGERALD.

A Phoenix Developing World Understanding Another opportunity to acquire culture and knowledge was placed before the citi- zens of Phoenix this year with the advent of the Phoenix Town Hall. The under- standing of what is going on in the world is a prime requisite for a citizen of the world and we are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. James P. Stuart for their efforts in bring- ing to Phoenix outstanding world leaders and thinkers. The keynote of Phoenix Town Hall is, Once a privilege, informa- tion is now a necessity. Until this year, when Mr. James P. Stuart brought the Phoenix Town Hall lecture series to Phoenix, ours- was the only town of comparable size in the West that did not have a lecture series. A good climate, beautiful scenery, and industries are all very well, but a city is known and judged by its culture. Phoenix is concert conscious. The Community Concert As- sociation and Mrs. Archer Linde have brought fine artists to Phoenix each year. But it took a young veteran with vision and courage to attempt the establishment of a lecture series. Mr. Stuart was dis- charged in August of last year and an- nounced the series the following Novem- ber. The appearance of such outstanding personalities as Eleanor Roosevelt, Will Durant, Lewis Browne, Frank Buck, and Walter Duranty in Phoenix was arranged in Mr. Stuart's first three months as a civilian. As a supplement Phoenix Town Hall also brought such artists as Gladys Swarthout and Dennis Morgan, and Laur- ence Tibbet will appear soon. Next season's prospective speakers are being lined up now by Mr. Stuart and his wife, who is a former concert violinist. A list of sixty-one prominent people from many walks of life and with diverse points of view has been sent out to last year's members and to prospective new members of the Town Hall lecture series. Each member will have a hand in deciding who will appear in Phoenix next year through his vote for the ten people that he would like to have speak. For what it is worth, here is a consensus of the votes of Bear Tracks' Editorial Board members. Stuart Chase, Sinclair Lewis, Thomas Mann, Carl Sandburg, Orson Welles, Harold lckes, Bruce Bliven, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Norman Thomas, and Winston Churchill were the ten we chose, after eliminating many that we would also like to hear. P No student tickets will be offered next season as a result of the fact that about ten tickets were sold to students for last season's series. The lack of response of the educational circles of Phoenix society was disappointing. The tremendous undertaking of this young couple in bringing world leaders to Phoenix deserves our support, as do all at- tempts to bring culture and knowledge to Phoenix. We've read the books of these leadersp we've known about their lives, we've heard of what they do and what they stand for, now we have the opportunity to see and hear them. L.T.' Letters To The Editor lBear Tracks is glad to publish expressions of opinion which do not violate the proprieties, but the paper assumes no responsibility for the views expressedj Dear Editor: ' How ironical, in an institution of higher learning where we are proud of our culture .and intellectually tolerant minds, that a socially correct group could show such cruel, vicious bad taste as to make a long suffering minority racial group the butt of crude humor. 1 , Good breeding and social acceptability are not synoncmous. This has been well proven by thc- fact that if an individual or group feels it desirable to raise its position socially, and finds -it distasteful to do so through increased learn- ing or culture, it is only necessary to publicly damn or condemn as inferior another group be- cause of its race, creed, color, or religion. One of our college groups, justifiably ac- knowledged to be the top in the social scale, has strengthened its position by implying that to be crudely humorous it need only to don black grease paint and depict the Negro race, without regard for the fact that the Negro stu- dents in the audience, unable to face the ridi- cule, were forced to Ieaveg without regard for the fact that the longest and loudest applause came from those, who aspire to social prestige. Lew Burch Dear Editor: I am sure that I speak for all the Negro stu- dents when l say that the assembly put on by Kappa Delta Nu sorority last Tuesday was lack- ing in good taste, to say the least. The faculty and students of Phoenix Junior College profess to practice tolerance and at least some courtesy in their social relations. It seems that they slipped a little this time. When a sorority representative asked the Woodson Club if the Negro students would ob- iect, the answer was unanimously yes. They were told that the assembly would be changed if that was their wish. Naturally they were hurt and humiliated to see the assembly go on as planned. AND IN THIS CORNER... In spite of harassing last minute details -no costumes, no scenery-and an am- nesiaized for so it appearedl dance chorus, KDN's Minstrel Show went off rather well. Sara Schwartz, dark-eyed vamp, definitely wants it known that it was just an actg that her tempting Temptation .number was only a routine carrying out the plot. Quoth she Money is the root of all evil. What am I saying? Serious about the whole thing, jilted Billie Brown drank half a beer stein filled with 'Sloe Gin' in order to drown her sor- rows. lt turned out that instead of drown- i'ng her sorrows, the brew only doubled them, for instead of Sloe Gin she had drunk half a pink of an unknown brand of food coloring and water. One wonders if Billie thought it was really gin! I am sorry to report that one serious and altogether false note was struck, both to the group's surprise and concern. Sev- eral students objected to the presentation, but I hasten to assure them, on behalf of KDN, that their interpretation was the farthest thing from our minds, and we are sorry if a misunderstanding resulted. The Student Union Bear Day bulletins enthusiastically promise a tough fight be- tween the classes for honor rank. The sophomores will undoubtedly win, but the competition is rough. The ratio is also on a two-to-one basis. In fact, if it weren't for morale, l'd say the freshmen had the upper hand! In glancing over the list of contestants, it surprised us to see what names were where: a meek five-foot-two lad's name boldly signed up for the fifty yard back- stroke, a muscle-bound athlete engaged to play a heated game of bridge. But the name which took top honors was that of Dan Nehf, now participant in the Girls' Bi- cycle Race. I don't think this is possible. lt isn't that we don't trust him, but he just doesn't stand a chance! A very successful Open House was held last week, which showed parents and pros- pective students the extent of JC's school facilities. One observing child thought the biolo- gy lab was part of the Lost Weekend. V.H. Sororlties, they tell me, are supposed to give the better girls a chance to acquire the social graces. Kappa Delta Nu has failed somewhere along the line. However, the sorority is not the only one to blame fcr it had lat least by im- plicationl the permission of the faculty. Some- one should have the power to prohibit such shows of ill-breeding. Gladys Gathings BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page 97 ECCE HOMO T THE lf elopments were written up as wed- dings are, we might read something like this. The bride, Felicity Gladrut, wore a dark, red, burlap gabardine, suitable for the trip -down the ladder. The groom, Verne Wel Dunne, was attired in a light green summer suit and'purple hair shirt. The bride, a former R.T.T., honorary grammer school society, met the groom, a B. Baba Leba, at an informal dance at the Delinquent Gardens in 1944. After serving two years K. P. in the Zlst Army, he returned to carry away what he had dreamed of while-carrying the bride-to- be down the ladder, done in oak rungs and bars to match. lSymbolic, what?i They had the light of 'love in their eyes, and they needed it too, because it gets pretty darn dark in Duluth at night. At last they reached the carpet of new spring grass, done in a conventional, but ever- stylish green. After a mad ride in his Model A, al- ready rakishly decorated Just Married , they arrived at the home of the Justice of the Peace. The Justice, attired in a chic, long, grey, flannel gown, read the ceremony. The Maid of Honor, wife of the Justice, chose a fuschia and mauve paiama Suit that her husband would never wear and that clashed delightfully with the bride's ensemble. The Best Man, the Justice's hired man,. stood by with his hoe, emit- ting sounds of uncomprehending ioy, the only music to be had. The shotgun stood in the corner, representing the protection of vested interests. The ceremony over, the groom kissed the Justice and gave his charming new wife two dollars, and they gaily rushed from the room amid cheers and applause. There are several types of humor. There is the satire of Voltaire-a slap in the face with a feather duster. The lowly pun, fun for fun's sake, the humor of the com- mon man. There is admitted corn, epi- tomized by most high school and college entertainment. There is the high come- dy of Noel Coward-fast dialogue with many allusions. The burleque of Max Schullman. The humor of colloquy used by Damon Runyon. The serious treatment of a foolish subject as superbly done by Bob Benchley. Then there is the lowest type of humor-that is, the crude and malicious treatment of a subject that is not humorous and from which there can re- sult no constructive outcome by applying humoroys technique. The vehicle is as important as the humor itself. Hollywood has taken up- on itself the typing of certain peoples as T-e-1' i7i f: 'Q J Z if 1 THE DEAN'S OFFICE The reason for no classes on Good Friday is that each may observe this great event according to his own con- science. lt is a day of great significance to all, and you would be benefited by spending part of your time in some re- ligious service.

SHAPE OF TOMORROW Franklin Delano Roosevelt's greatness and genius of statesmanship was evident in many fields, but in none was it so adroit and potent as in the procedure by which he held the highly instable compon- ents of the Democratic party together, not perfectly, but as a working system. His program of foreign and domestic policies was carried through by a party which had in its ranks representatives of Southern Bourbons, of rabble-rousers elec- ted by near-fascist mobs whose sympathies and hatreds could be played upon and who invariably elected those who promised to protect Southern womanhood, of politi- co-stooges of big city machines, of ardent New Deal theorists, of liberal and left wing elements determined to see that the fiasco of i929 should never be repeated and that the nation be prepared to assimulate scien- tific and technological changes by evolv- ing an economic and social structure which, instead of being in contradiction to the progressive impact of scientific find- ings and technological efficiency, would be flexable in nature and capable of di- gesting the dynamic future. The trend of events since FDR's death and Truman's assumption of the presiden- cy indicates that Truman is incapable of mastering the divergent forces within the Democratic party. Party lines in Congress have been swept away and the conserva- tive tories of both parties band together against the moderates and liberals of both parties so that the resultant is a question- able bi-hybridism - Republocrats and Democans. Only in a well ordered society can the democratic ideal and the practical pro- cess of democratic political action persist. What has resulted is that in this time of crises with its dire need for decisive ac- tion, we have block government. Mi- nority pressure groups, selfish and un- concerned with the national welfare and the well being of the majority, exert their disproportionate influence in the anarchis- tic scramble for economic and legal privil- ege. The ship of state, without strength and capable leadership assisted by Con- gressional cooperation which is in turn rooted in popular consent, drifts, jerks, strains as it is caught in the inconstant, shifting, contradictory forces of minorities pressing for divergent ends. What is needed is the restoration of the ballast and balance of ordered government which has disappeared since the death of FDR. M.H. Eage 98 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE A CHILD'S GARDEN OF CURSES The newspaper-reading public has long cherished several bits of misinformation about editors. Here are a few of the stand- ard ideas which are mistaken- EDITORS WRITE editorials. They don't. Someone else always does. And the edi- tors? They correct spelling, coax broken typewriters to, double-space between the lines and not the letters, insert commas, and cut up paper Inot dolls-that comes later.l EDITORS SHOOT, bludgeon, choke or otherwise mangle reporters, assistants, columnists, and photographers. They don't. There's a law against that. But they'd'like to. The trouble is that editors can't get along without them-who DO you think does the work? EDITORS ARE responsible for upside- down and reversed-order pictures, wet ink on a new paper, printing errors. They aren't-it's the printer's fault. EDITORS ARE responsible. They aren't.

World shaking events go unnoticed, classes unattended, hair un- combed and glasses uncleaned as perspiring masses of humanity of upper and lower division throw themselves into the fray to give their all for their honor at Bear Day lBare Day, that isl. How this thing started we don't know, but after ferreting about under rocks for three years we came across this information. Allowing for deterioration of age and the nibblings of young centipedes, we give it to you: Back in I925 some mentally advanced JC student remembered with tears in his eyes the beautiful time he had on Senior Ditch Day. So ,he pre- scribed one of same for himself and, taking the school bear cub, then known as Bumstead, with him went out to the canal and sat on the bank all day in bliss. Since he was the only student in school and Bum- stead was the only bear, the tradition was established. lNote. We aren't sure about this.i In addition to all the Pre-Bear Day events which make up about two months hard labor, there are several contests which take place on Bear Day proper. They all seem to lean back to the first Bear Day. One swim fthe canall, one runs sack races ltry dragging a bear cub around everywhere you goi, one runs peanut races lhmm-mi, one eats lnatchl, and fun in general is had + which we believe dates back farth- er than l92O. Also one weeps bitter tears on seeing the faculty snatch the prize in the pie-eating contest. Bear Day is really a day of all around relaxation and fun. Every- one gets sunburned and tired and so remembers Bear Day a long time. As an analogue to Ditch Day it caps it in food and entertainment. It is remembered by students and faculty as a day in which the students find that the faculty has a sense of humor lthey have tooll and the fa- culty finds out that the most stupid of students has some spark of wit lie, they eat when hungry. We are told that they had some doubtsi. We are looking forward to Bear Day because we got beaten in the water splashing race last year and are determined to resurrect our honor. An issue of Bear Tracks will be handed out at lunch time. -D.K. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR lBear Tracks is glad to publish expressions of opinion on subjects of importance which do not violate the proprieties, but the paper assumes no responsibility for the views expressed.l Dear Editor: Our apologies for any misunderstanding creat- ed by our presentation of A MINSTREL SET- TlNG . The American Way of Life would be much different without its music - of the people, by the people, for the people. We have endowed the world with our Universal lan- guage , little has been done to tutor the world regarding its origin which was in the deep South, 1619, when the first negro slaves were introduced to our shores. They gave us a com- bination of melody, harmony, and rhythm in a poignantly appealing form which, from being individual with them, has come to exert the most powerful influence upon the strange hy- brid product, American Music. Also, they gave us their rhythmic orgy known as syncopation, the embryo of our dances. Therefore, when we depict these PiIlars of American Music amid their plantation or deep South settings, we are not defaming the Negro as some ir- rationlists infer. Our only apology is our in- competent efforts to portray the vivid soul of the Negro personality in music. In fighting racial prejudices, we face a deadly foe-one who seizes trivialities without probing motives of either side, one who seeks to make IN THIS CORNER . . . We almost had nervous prostration while waiting for the curtain to go up on Alpha Sig's too-true dramy last week. We were awfully glad when we saw the yellow, fuscia and green legs all flying together. The cads and can-cans were loudly ap- plauded, garters appreciated, and so went the good take-off on a take-off of Spike Jones! Last week, an interesting and informa- tional speaker was engaged to address our student body. During his discourse a sudden and vehement protest 'was heard from the audience. Many students were embarrassed before the speaked at this outburst. No matter how much our views conflict with those of a speaker who comes before us, shouldn't we remember that this is a democratic country where every man has the prerogative to speak as he will and, at the same time, every other man has the right to take only that which he wishes of the words? And, if we real- ly are cultured, is it not the courteous thing to await our turn? Seems 'like spring and red noses lhay feverl have simultaneously struck yonder the trees. Whether your spot is under a flowering cactus, a black coupe or un- der the library roof, it's all the same. Meanwhile, some constant as they are favorite scenes in the Editor's Office are Stewart acting eightyish before the paper is 'put to bed' and ten afterwards, Kline solemnly beating her head against the wall, Mack looking under typewriters and chairs for Inspiration, Gardner unscrewing the acid bottle and Hill trying to take the' complex out of his complex-compound sentences. Time and weather? They know none. And so it goes behind the scenes. The lines of Liliom resound down the halls, and the curtains shudder as our boy Liliom is being killed everyday this week. So far, the story goes that . . . but you can tell me after May IO land probably do a better jobl. The cast looks promising and the play is a Broadway hitg so plan to come then and bring your friends. V.H. both races antagonistic, one whose imagina- tion screen is so life-like that he dreams si- tuations that don't exist, hears jokes crudely made, and sees groups move about unable to face the ridicule when in reality, this never occurred except on said imagination screen .

BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE A Page 101 ECCE HOMO There was once an ant and a grass- hopper, first cousins to the ones you know. The ant like his famous first cous- in was industrious. He worked hard all day long. He-George--collected grain and seed and dead butterflies and pieces of Dentyne and busily carried them back to his apartment-just like the rest of the ants there fwhose names were all George, incidentallyi. Constantly being on the lookout for these important things necessitated a downward position of the head. And anyone knows that when you have a piece of Dentyne in your mouth you have to concentrate on that and noth- ing else-well at least George had to. So George didn't get to see much of the world beside what was directly under him. Now l can't say exactly whether George enjoyed his work. He never much thought about it. He couldn't even tell you how he came to choose that occupation. Ev- erybody else did about the same thing. Some did specialize-the butterfly-drag gers and the butterfly-pushers. George -our George-preferred Dentyne, him- self. He wasn't unhappy-he never had time to think about being unhappy. Then there was, of course, the grass- hopper, Franklin. Now Franklin was a very happy fellow. He hopped and jump- ed around sort of aimlessly, enjoying the blue sky and the green grass and the warm sun-eating whatever grasshoppers eat-parking for the night wherever he happened to be--spitting tobacco when squeezed properly-no plans for the fu- ture. He didn't do much but he enjoy- ed life. He didn't talk to George about the beauties of his Bohemian life. He had never even met George. Then there was a bee Cthis is a new twistl. The bee's name was Ambrose. iNot every bee's name was Ambrose and not every grasshopper's name was Frank- lin, by the way.i Ambrose visited the flowers-the beautiful flowers-wiped his feet all over them and siphoned out some nectar when he felt like it. Ambrose- though a good bee-was a worker with drone tendencies. He obediently made his honey-but every now and then he would fly off into the sky and just buzz around at leisure, enjoying the scenery. Sometimes after a field trip he didn't ev- en turn in his full load-but kept a little for himself. And sometimes, too, he would sting people-just for the fun of it. He knew it was wrong-but not very wrong and the damage was never very serious be- cause Ambrose never had the, heart to sting very hard. He was pretty happy. One day-you won't mind if it all hap- pens in one day, and the point is more ' THE DEAN'5 OFFICE BEAR DAY. One of several unique features about Phoenix Junior College is the annual Bear Day observance. lt used to come earlier when bears are supposed to come out of hybernation. However, the water is a little warmer f and our bears like it a little better two months later. The Board of Education has deemed it important in the life of the school- so important that they provide one day a year to the event, with regular pay for the faculty. lt, therefore, is an all-school party to which everyone is expected to go. Colonel Myers, Chairman of the Campus Committee, has requested that students not park along the west side of the campus south of the parking lot. lt constitutes at least minor haz- ard and results in a very dusty car be- fore the end of the day. A two minute earlier start would permit the use'of the large parking lot near the gym. The Board of Education is to be commended for its foresight in mak- ing plans for the enlargement of the campus and for increasing the facilities of the library and cafeteria to meet the increasing needs of the college. This week's bouquet goes to Regina Townsend, president of the Woodson Club, for arranging the very success- ful picnic and dance held last Friday evening at the platform in South Mountain Park. easily made-George got stuck in an ex- tra wet piece of Dentyne and died a slow death. Franklin, merrily hopping along, enjoying, hopped right into a young Siam- ese cat's mouth. And Ambrose died of dysentery - a common practice among bees. I One would sometimes think it really , didn't matter. G.M, THE SHAPE OF TOMORROW The impossible confusion on the poli- tical scene which has resulted from the weird coalition within the parties of the liberals, the moderates, and the conserva- tive tories fusing together and reducing to a mockery the old concept of party lines may very well be setting the stage for the emergence of a third political party or at least a catalystic reorganization of American politics which will create two genuinely different parties-one conserva- tive, one liberal-and eliminate those questionable mongrel bi-hybrids - Re- publicans and Democrats. The acute problems arising from the development of the disintegration of the party system into a fiasco makes it des- perately urgent that the American peo- ple realize the nature 'of this state of affairs and what it means, for in the last analysis democracy depends upon the vot- ers knowing what their representatives stand for. When, in objective reality, the party system disintegrates without the voters being aware of this disintegration, the voters are voting for phantoms - parties and platforms which do not wield discipline over and allegiance from their members, leaders and principles who are betrayed by cheap little men, irresponsi- bly shirking their obligation to stand in Congress and vote for what they stood before the voters for election votes and professed to support. Democracy has then disappeared. The big eye-raiser of recent weeks was the announcement of the formation of the nucleus of a third party. Farm, labor, and progressive leaders from l6 states met in Chicago to discuss a course of political action.

THE ASTRONOMY CLUB held a meet- ing last night at South Mountains where they took their telescope to observe Sat- urn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. The eve- ning was completed with an informal pro- gram and the serving of refreshments. The same objects will be in the sky when the club holds open house on the campus for visitors May 2 from 7 to 8 pm. Following this a program will be given in the Science Building. THE GERMAN CLUB met recently in the Club Room where members sang Ger- man songs and played a number of Ger- man games which had been arranged by Mary Baskt and Elizabeth Swihart. THE FRENCH CLUB is planning to pre- sent a French movie, Harvest, based on a story by the contemporary French novelist Jean Jinoao. lt will be shown in the auditorium May 7, and the public is invited. Members of the French Clubs of the two high schools will be special guests and will be entertained afterwards in the Club Room. Tentative plans are being'made for a banquet to be held in May at the YWCA. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD discussed plans at their meeting on April I8 which may have far reaching effects on PJC. Members decided unanimously that PJC definitely needs a swimming pool, a new SU building and equipment, and outdoor theater, a radio station, an airport, an ob- servatory, and a stadium. Also suggest- ed was the expansion of tennis courts, and the acquisition of modern scientific equipment paved parking lots, visual ed- ucation aids, and air conditioning-parth cularly in the library.

This annual award is given to the best assembly put on by a social club or an academic club. KDN, on April 9, put on lampblack and portrayed a skit which took place mainly in a night club. ABOUT TH E MOVIES SARATOGA TRUNK, which started last Wednesday at the Fox Theater, is well packed with everything it takes to make a box-office hit. The bewitching Berg- man and the cowboy Cooper slide ex- pertly through a period-piece romance without missing one of the primary Hol- lywood emotions, says Time. Clio Dulaine, played by lngrid Bergman, come to New Orleans to get revenge for her mother's exile by one of THE fami- lies-which she does by making a public scandal of herself with Clint Maroon lGary Cooperl. PM reports that the story has dash and sweep. Last week's a group of bar-room char- acters iunder the make-up, Alpha Sigsl entertained the student body in assembly. Spike Jones, via a record and a mike, was present to,help. The Theta-politan Opera Company pre- sented their own version of Verdi's La Traviata in last Tuesday's assembly. The loud singing plugged carbonation, free x-rays, and Super Suds, Super Suds, a better head with Super Suds. The Deep South and The Lost Week-End lent modern touches to the performance. Apache Lake Is Scene Of Faculty Festivities In spite of encountering unexpected hardships, members of the faculty who, with their families, made the trek to Apa- che Lake on last Thursday expressed com- plete satisfaction with the success of the journey. The party left Phoenix Thurs- day evening and returned Saturday night. Dr. Hannelly reported that twelve good- size fish were available as evidence of a successful tussle with the edible, spiny- finned bass. Three boats were used by the partyg one was taken along from Phoe- nix and two were rented at the lake. Difficulties arose when the party dis- covered that cottage reservations which had been made were non-existent. How- ever, this did not sway the spirit of the JC mentors, and the final upshot was that cots, car seats, and the good earth were used as beds. The trip was open to all members of the PJC faculty and their families, and it was pointed out that efforts are being made to make the event an annual affair. Those making the trip were Dr. H. B. Wyman and family, Dr. R. J. Hannelly and family, Mr. C. D. Cocanower and family, Mr. M. W. Monroe and family, and Mr. D. F. Stone and family. THE SOCIAL CLUBS ALPHA is planning a party in the very near fu- ture. Guests of honor will be alumni and mothers of the members. Definite plans will be discussed at their next meeting.

Stewart Movies Influence Thinking Whether we realize it or not the pro- ducts of the motion picture industry con- stitute a great influence in our lives - and as such should be subiect to careful inspection. Having at its command fab- ulous sums of money, this industry is cap- able of producing the best in entertain- ment. The art of photography in the two dimensional field has about reached its peak, and technicolor has added the last touch to visual realism. Sound recording is nearly flawless and dramatic effects are limitless and amazing. Technically they have attained near-perfection. The possibilities of theieducational film are beginning to be realized. Frank Sina- tra's picture The House I Live In is a fine example of this medium used for the indoctrination of a democratic tenet - that of racial and religious tolerance. On the other hand, most fine actors, musicians, and writers won't go near Hol- lywood unless there is nothing else left for them to do. Those who have gone are generally considered to be lost. Attempts at the portrayal of significant literature, or anything with a similarity to life in these United States, have fallen short under the inescapable touch of Hollywood - which acts in accordance with the theory that because a person drank milk and liked it,.in the beginning, he must be milkfed the rest of his life. Granted -- milk is easier to take and that Hollywood has not created this milk-hun- gry public. Nevertheless it has a great opportunity as the more subtle partner of education, which is also at fault here, to improve the general standards of the cul- ture and understanding of the public. Much information, but at the same time many misconceptions, are presented to this tremendous audience which makes power of this industry enormous. There is a theater in every town of speakable size. Thousands of fan letters are receiv- ed from people who copy their idols, be- lieve in them, believe that they too will ,J meet a rich Cary Grant or a Lana Turnerg Hollywood grinds out its fairy tales in which economics are of no importance since the hero lor heroinel with right on his side can always beat the system l MiI- dred Pierce - five restaurants in four years - begun with a lowly pielg in which mother love always wins l This Love of Ours lg in which medical science can work miracles for the hero and his friends, ex- cepting Clark Gable who works his own l Adventure l5 in which the Dead End kids need only a man-to-man talk, in which the farmer's only trouble is the lack of rainf in which true love never fails to triumph: in which Americans are clever, right, and wealthy and the rest of the worId's people are clever for a time, use- ful or easily killed, in which philandering is all right if the audience knows it really isn't philandering l Christmas in Connec- ticut lg in which villians can't hit as hard as heroes and bullets can't kill detectives. The tragedy of this lies in the fact that with all this technical perfection and the sway this industry holds over thousands of people and their dollars, they miss an equally perfect opportunity of presenting mature, subtle entertainment with real significance and elevating influence. G.M. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: On behalf of the sophomore class of Phoenix Junior College, I should like to take this op- portunity to express our appreciation to the freshman class for the finest dance of the year, the annual Frosh Prom. Congratulations are in order for the members of special committees who provided the colorful decorations and splendid music for the dance. We are proud of the freshman class for its leadership and or- ganization, and we know that we leave the school in the hands of a resourceful and co- operative group. We wish also to thank Mr. Phelps, class sponsor, for his work with the class in making this spring formal a tremendous success. The evening's entertainment was enioyed by all, and warrants our congratulations and heart- gll I 5.32 K I F A I - 'Q il I 5 I I c ' AND IN THIS CORNER . . . Exclude the women from school and put the Gl's in, was the bold statement made by Margaret Pickel, dean of wom- en at Columbia University, to relieve the acute shortages of room and facilities in colleges today. One man replied that the boys had chosen co-educational schools and there- must want it that way. An of women would see three- fore they exclusion fourths of the men withdraw also. Many XGl's are living in remodeled ship cabins and hospital barracks. Others log sack time on the library steps. Their books, also on the shortage list, are beg- ged, borrowed or stolen. What willhap- pen when an even larger number wishes to enroll next year? We'd be interested in receiving your comments. The press lthat's what the ticket saidl went to hear Town Hall's Lawrence Tib- bett last week. Still a leading baritone despite his graying hairs, Tibbett gave an excellent performance, which included fine numbers such as O Them Billowy Harvest-Fields , Every Mail Day , Don Juan Gomez . Thanks to the inevitable heckler, the star sang several extra num- bers which he has made famousg With- out a Song , Serenade . We must confess, however, that we were a bit uneasy every time Mr. Tibbett began with an Oh , for fear that next would come give me land, lotsa land . . . . The closest he came to this was a song called Tobacco which he made plain had no connection with any tobac- co company. Whew!

The requirements are sim- ple and a mind to match: a piece of paper -any size, a pencil or pen, time, and a voice droning a few rows away. l. There is the work of the simple or neophyte doodler. This is one of the first attempted. lt is executed without much energy, is pleasing in appearance, but it takes many of them to satisfy the doodler. 2. This is a throwback from first grade penmanship drills. lt is rather aimless but the sound made while performing it is very gratifying. 3. This doodle indicates an egocentric personality when startled from the out- side. lf begun at the outer edge it indi- cates a person of more generous character. 4. There are two theories regarding this doodle. It is done by lil drawing a line quickly, in any or varied directions, l2J following the path of this line about an eighth of an inch lor more if paper al- lows and the personality is generousl with another line. My theory is that the first line is ambition, quick unpredictable, ideal, untampered, the second the attempt at fulfillment of ambition, slower more tortuous, subject to cessation at any point. The Freudians hold this to be a sign of sex frustration. No one seems able to explain the filled in parts unless you .ac- cept the garter snake obsession theory. 5. This is the teachers necktie doodle and offers satisfaction in many ways. 6. These designs are frequently found among the brooding type. Much time is spent on them and an exceedingly heavy pressure is used. The doodler usually spe- cializes on one. They generally have no immediate meaning, but once this type is spotted, it is best to take care in dealing with them in the future. 7. These are the pretty girl or boy or legs or hands or even full figure dood- lers. These might denote wishful thinkers French Club Presents Movie A MOVIE ADAPTATION of the com- temporary French novel, Harvest or Regain, will be presented at 7:30 o'clock on Tuesday night in the JC audi- torium under the sponsorship of the French Club. The movie is open to the public as well as students. English sub-titles will be provided for spectators who do not speak French. The play, written by Jean Giono, expressed his philosophy in a demand to return to the land rather than stage an exodus to the bright lights of the city. Following the movie, French Club mem- bers will entertain the French Clubs from North Phoenix and Phoenix Union at a party in the clubroom.

And lastly there are the designers who generally start at the beginning of the class and present a beautiful piece of work at the end of the hour. The work is done with evident pleasure, at a leisurely speed, with much thought and repitition. The possibilities are limitless and an earnest doodler owns a priceless and treasured notebook at the end of the year.

Driving at this speed creates very little dust, and as some of us don't wash our cars very often, we would appreciate this saving of dust. Looking ahead-if you have friends who are planning to go to college next year, you should urge them to matri- culate at the earliest possible date. ln the first place, it is quite difficult to gain admission to the overcrowded col- leges, and secondly, admission prob- lems could be worked out during the summer. Members of the graduating class are urged to apply to the college of their choice immediately. This week's bouquet goes to Verne Cook and to Mr. Phelps, freshman sponsor, for the splendid success of the dance last Saturday night.

A large and brightly-decorated Maypole in the center of the gymnasium supported a myriad of paper streamers which form- ed a false ceiling of spring colors over the dancers.

A Greyhound Bus was chartered for the trip and Mr. Monroe, club sponsor, was able to obtain reservations for the group at the pretentious Hotel Rancho Grande. Parades, shopping, sightseeing, and riding in a iitney were only part of the attractions. The stores with silver arti- cles, basketry, and leather goods offered plenty of opportunity to spend money, time, and energy, all of which was done. A common sight on any street corner was four or five of the group eagerly com- paring purchases and prices. It was soon discovered that those with a thorough knowledge of Spanish usually got things cheaper. No bullfight was held to the disappoint- ment of many--it seems there was a bull but no fighter. However, everyone seem- ed to find enough to keep them busy, in fact, little sleep or rest was gotten dur- ing the two days, and the group which got oft the bus in Phoenix Sunday night showed little promise of being able to come to school the next day. As far as we know most of them did get here, but David Payne was seen with his shoes off and sound asleep only a few minutes after the first bell rang on Monday. SIGMA ALPHA Twenty JC students were initiated into Iota Sigma Alpha national junior college honor society last night at the Encanto Club House. Only those who have the highest grade point ratio among the highest scholastic quartile of the sophomore class are elect- ed.

Stewart Sandwiches, Sun, Siestas, Salve There really need be no story sum- ming up the effects of Bear Day upon the JC student body. Reddened backs and peeling noses are mute testimony of the aftermath of the day upon everyone -swimmer or not. The wide extent of sunburns was due in part to the changing styles of men and women's swimming apparel. Bear Day was turned into a near Bare Day with the advent of the swimming events. The toll from Bear Day attendance tak- en by the nearby lakes was comparatively small, and the lunch line was almost un- bearably long for the students who had expended their energies in the swimming bouts. Even the pie-eating contest en- trants had quite recovered from any ill effects of hastily eaten pastry when the luncheon signal was called. Enthusiasm which had been lacking in pre-Bear Day contests rose to its full- est height at the early morning basket- ball game and the Scout Pueblo competi- tion. Various students even managed to produce some organized yells from the crowd of spectators. However, the num- bers of spectators out numbered the con- testants by an unpleasant margin. School good-will expended itself on The Big Day, and everyone knew every- one else in the sudden flurry of comrade- ship which pervaded. People who were in the insecure posi- tion of making the difficult decisions for the events were Leonard Mincks, AMS president, Emma Jean Foord, AWS presi- dent, Verne Cook, freshman class presi- dent, Harlin Cook, sophomore class presi- dent: and Les Metzger, Bear Day chair- man. .ji-.L . . i,, rn Af. 3, 5 I n ll 'I y'!. gl ft l- 1f '-'lL ' J ' ntnv l. iff 4 ' ij- ', 5 h F Q ' 7' I , Q 5 fm- W9 -9 .Q .

If so, it is necessary to pay a one dollar fee to Mrs. Butler lRegistrar's Officei by next Wed- nesday, May l5, for the rental of CAPS AND GOWNS for the Commencement ex- ercises. The gowns will be handed out in the basement of the Auditorium during the fourth, fifth and sixth periods on Thurs- day, May l6. One of the best dances of the year took place May 2 when the sororities of PJC played host. The INFORMAL DANCE was held from nine to twelve in the St. Mary's Social Hall, appropriately decor- ated with the respective club shields. In spite of the fact that punch was serv- ed at the dance, most of the couples made their way to the Mexico Cafe later. And a good time was had by all. French Clubers parlez-voused with FRENCH STUDENTS from Phoenix Union and North High last Tuesday night in the club room of our school. The party fol- lowed a French movie, Regain , which was presented under the auspices of Le Cercle Francais. The movie was open to the public. BETA PHI GAMMA, national honorary journalistic society, will accept members this year, after having been inactive dur- ing war. Membership is restricted to those students who have achieved an aver- age for two semesters in Journalism of at least A- lan A and a B D. The initiation ceremnoy will be held at Mr. Stewart's home during the evening of May 2lst. Next week's Bear Tracks will carry the names of the new members. Astonishment ran high in the auditor- ium Tuesday when Hal Royden, master of ceremonies, announced that the EN- GINEERS CLUB would break school tradi- tion and present an intellectual assembly. However, Frank Luke was sacrificed to the cause of the intelligentsia, and from then on, the program ran the gamut vaud- eville devices. lmitations by a coy Pasa- dena Junior College co-ed and the retriev- ing of his yoyo by a desperate romeo were the highlights of varied and unconvention- al program. Most of the audience decided that the Engineers Club was an off-campus organi.. zation when there was not a bar scene in any part of the assembly. Leonard Mincks announces that plans for the AMS PARTY to be held at the Scout Pueblo a week from tomorrow are shaping up better than he has any reason to hope. The program will include swim- ming, dining, and dancing. The price to all men students of the college is one dollar for the date. CThe man's ticket is purchased from AMS treasury fundsi. Even before receiving JC diplomas, sophomores should get moving on fu- ture plans for education next fall. The situation throughout the nation is ser- ious and several colleges may have to be consulted before finding an open- ing. Any help that the offices can give will be regarded as a privilege. Urgent! All students contemplating entering JC next year should matri- culate at the earliest possible date. Tomorrow, Saturday, May ll, the school district votes on a bond issue for Sl,750,000. This bond is much needed by PJC, Carver, North Phoenix, Phoenix Union and the Phoenix Tech- nical school. Without the approval of this bond issue, the young people of the community will be severely handi- capped. In addition to library and cafeteria needs, PJC must acquire more land. Any student over 21 who owns real estate is eligible to vote. lt would be most helpful if students would inform the members of their family and friends. Voting will be open from lO:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. This week's bouquet goes to Les Metzger, Dr. Hannelly, the Executive Board, and to all others who partici- pated in making Bear Day an outstand- ing success. BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Page Ill ' A CHlLD'S GARDEN OF CURSES Because of the European food famine, bakeries are having to get along with much less flour, and at the same time, their sugar shipments have been upped. 'lt seems our food policy is dated from the times of Louis XVI- if they have no bread, let them eat cake. Blaring out of the SU this week are the works of two sadly be-polonaised serious composers lRachmaninoff Piano Concer- to, and a Lullaby by Goddard.I The words to both are refugees from a rhyming dictionary l FuIl moon and empty arms , here we have the usual end of the line arms , harms , and, always, you I, fit only to be matched with the tripe that is ground out of a mechanical music writ- er. We'd make no complaint if they had decided to.put words-even moon and June -to the C sharp minor prelude. With music in mind, we went into one of the local platter peddlers' to refresh ourselves on one or two themes. But things weren't what they used to be in the formerly modest, unassuming record shopsj we thought for a moment that we were in the Metropolitan - not Opera but - Art Museum. Where there had been records, we saw canvases covered with smiling cellos, concert pianos under chestnut trees, writhing hands rising out of ruins, Russian toy soldiers. Upon clos- er inspection, these turned out to be the album covers. Record sales are booming! Discussing the relative merits of two proposed gift recordings, one woman was saying to her companion, No, I just don't know WHAT to get for my husband. lt's his birthday, and he just loves music, you know. He's simply WILD about Bach. There's no composer he'd rather listen to. Don't you thing his music is so cultural? Now, that's a nice album of his Branden- burg Concertos, but I just don't know- those colors don't go with my new slip covers. I think l'll buy this one instead -the one with the pretty red zinnias on the cover. Oh, clerk, how DO you pro- nounce this composer's name? l've never heard of him before. You tell us-who did write Cement Mixer ? J.A.G. L- I ECCE HOMO William March in his book TRIAL BALANCE has presented a number of short stories dealing with the minds of people in many walks of life. His deep perception of the tricks we try to play on ourselves and the pranks of fate is re- markable in its excellence and extent. His technique of character portrayal, dramatic effect, and story development is extremely good and provides compel- ling reading material. An example of his insight is his story of the man who scheduled at night each minute of the next day in an effort to fight his enemy Time by breaking it' up into small pieces that he could control. Suddenly the hopelessness and character of his fight is no longer deniable. when he hears a stranger say, There is no man alive who has not pictured himself in the coffin or rotting in the ground. His characters are typical and startling- ly real. At times he captures the misty never compIete feeling of thought and draws conclusions that till then have been elusive and only half-formed in the mind of the reader. He writes mainly of the more dolorous side of life, leaving the feeling of cold, dark rain in the heart. He tells of peo- ple who have fooled themselevs for all their lives or a few short moments in or- der to find happiness. Nevertheless, I believe he gives his characters too much perception, a method of many writers. It seems to me that the majority of us never do realize what we are doing. We never quite come to the place where we look at ourselves objectively and grasp our real motives, our real goals, what we have done and why and what we could do. As in the case of all collections, a few of the stories will remain with the reader to be savored and digested and adopted by the mind. G.M. THE SHAPE OF TOMORROW THE FIRST ROUND' by Joseph Gaer is the story of the CIO Political Action Com- mittee. lt is testimony of labor, emerg- ing from its adolescence, and maturing politically, economically, and socially. Once unions could be regarded as little more than economic safeguards, howev- er, as mechanization and technology soli- dified the structure of society, unions have become the nucleus for building progressive and democratic movements. Indeed, liberals and reformers almost al- ways use labor as the backbone of their causes. Labor, learning from the obvious dem- onstrations with which fascism has so bountifully supplied us, has come to champion much more than its own nar- row interests. Today labor is concerned with the democratic process-not only in the political field but also in its social, economic, and cultural aspects. In its broad and conclusive program attention is paid to minority rights, to the overall economic and productive welfare of the nation and the world, to the problem of peace and internationalism, to the prin- ciples of justice as a cornerstone of peace, and, significantly, to participation in the creation of a new world in a new era in a new century- the century of the com- mon man. THE FIRST ROUND is a simple, straightforward description of the strug- gle for a twentieth century resurgence of democracy. Joseph Gaer has assembled in THE FIRST ROUND the program, the pamphlets, and the description of the lContinued on Page H21 t ' ' I THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE, which start- ed Wednesday at the Fox'Theater, un- winds to reveal the strangler who elim- inates young ladies who don't measure up to his ideas of physical perfection. Na- tion remains unimpressed by Dorothy McGuire stunting along through several reels as a mute, who is, by the way, pur- sued by the murderer all through the film. Ethel Barrymore alternately purrs and bel- lows, rolls her eyes frantically - possibly at the dead tiger on the floor beside her bed. The mansion is spooky, the maid is a drunk, the cook is oddf the murder- er is someoneg but surprisingly enough, all ends well. Page 112 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE Masque And Dagger Club Begin Intensive Rehearsals Masque and Dagger club members are undergoing intensive rehearsals as Lil- iom, the commencement play to be given on May 27th, begins to assume definite form. Liliom, a dramatic fantasy written by Ferenc Molnar, will have the original music from Carousel, and adaptation of Liliom now on Broadway. Following a first night rehearsal to be held on May lst and with more of the same to come, dress. rehearsal is slated for the 23rd. Heading an illustrious cast will be Verne Cook as Liliom and Virginia Mincks as Julie. Other members included in the cast are Billie Mae Brown, Mariep Virginia Harvey, Mrs. Muskatj Jack McGee, Wolf Beifeldg Jeanne Devivier, Mother Holl- under, Nelson King, Linzmang Don Watt, Ficsurg Jack Cate, magistrateg Bob Kruft, as the richly-dressed many Don Olliver, guardg Les Wade, poorly-dressed man, Dick Clifford, doctor, Jack Hellman, po- liceman: and Barbara Best, Louise, the daughter. Some forty members of the dramatics club and their guests celebrated May Day with a picnic held at the Goldwater farm. On the agenda were a supper, swimming, and dancing in the Club House. Verne Cook, Jack Cate, and Jack Hell- man constituted a clean-up committee of three as their initiation fee. THE SOCIAL CLUBS Alpha Sig is planning a mother and daughter party in the club, room Friday, May l7. Alpha is planning a dinner party for alumni and the parents of all members in the club room on Monday, May 20th. Theta held its formal initiation at Encanto Park last Tuesday, May 7th, Virginia Young, Virginia Sexton and Norma Rubino were taken into the club at that time. Grad- uation members will be feted at breakfast at the Adams Hotel Crystal Room Sunday morning by the alumni. KDN alumni gave a dinner party at The Silver Spur Saturday, May 4, for the graduating members who were presented with gold They are also planning anklet chains. a mother and daughter picnic in the near future. Phi Lamb held its formal initiation last night in the home of Alice Ryan. Carmelita Clark, Phyllis Dawson, Lorraine Backes, Adell King, Billie Neithercutt, Marian Wood, and Barbara Womack were then initiated. JC Student To Be Princess D iContinued From Page lj We of the civic clubs of Phoenix are very happy to lend our support to the National Junior College Track and Field Championships. We believe that we have a fine junior college in Phoenix which deserves our backingg in addition, we believe that having the national track meet here on a permanent basis will mean much to the city of Phoenix, said Norman Hall, chief of the Thunderbirds and newly-elected president of the Sen- ior Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting on Monday at the Hotel Westward Ho. Coach Hoy, director of the meet, and Ben Foote, assistanttdirector in charge of publicity and program, enthusiastically pointed out that the Dons, Ad, Exchange, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Hiram, Lions, Optimists, Twenty-Thirty, Rotary, and Kiwanis Clubs all had representatives at the meeting, pledging full support of the classic. Emmett Chappelle easily takes a hurdle in a practice session preparing for the Na- tional Junior College Track and Field Meet to be held in Phoenix on May 25th. ALPHA MU GAMMA HOLDS INITIATION Beta Chapter of Alpha Mu Gamma held its annual formal initiation banquet at the Encanto Clubhouse .on Wednesday, April 24. Neophytes initiated were Duvall Coop- er, Betty Foskett, Virginia Harvey, Eliza- beth Land, Mary Lawrence, Ellen Ong, and Betty Parsons. Elizabeth Land, toast- mistress ,gave the address of welcome and introduced the speakers of the evening. Madame Jones gave the French address, replied to by Denny Lourdeau, Herr Bro- berg the German, response by Frau John Togalg and Senor Fiestra the Spanish, an- swered by Betty Parsons. The musical program of the evening consisted of two vocal solos by Elizabeth Land and a piano solo by Mary Lawrence. Choir And Sacred Singers Present Musical Program The Sacred Singers and the A Capella Choir of JC have been singing at various places in honor of music week. Last Monday the A Capella Choir sang in the assembly at Mesa Union High School. The same night they sang at the Encanto Shell with Marjorie Meier, Charles McNally, Jackie Salyards, and the Sacred Singers having solo parts. Today at l:0O o'clock the Sacred Sing- ers will entertain the Ladies Society of the First Methodist Church and next Tuesday night Barbara Best and Marjorie Meier will have a joint recital in the Club Room at 8:15. The Choir is under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Hakes, and the Sacred Singers are directed by Mr. E. L. Stone. l Senior Dance To Be Held ln Gym Tomorrow Night An assortment of emblems depicting the PJC Bears, the St. Mary's Knights, the PUHS Coyotes, and the North High Mus- tangs will decorate the PJC Gym at the annual High School Senior Dance, spon- sored by PJC, tomorrow night from 9 to l2. The dance will feature Bob Stafford and his orchestra. A prize waltz should add incentive to all. Helping to make the dance a success is June lzard, as head of the decoration committee, Betty Andersen and Barbara Somervell, as refreshment chairmen. Vivian English, Social Commissioner, points out that all PJC students are of course invited to the dance as they are to play hosts to the graduates. The Shape Of Tomorrow iContinued From Page lllj techniques which PAC used in the l944 elections to rouse the grass roots to a mature and intelligent awareness of the issues at stake. Gaer makes it clear that PAC is here to stay, and that it may well be the deciding factor in the 1946 and i948 elections - determining whether America shall have reform or recovery, progress or normalcy. The CIO PAC's support stems from deep in the voting section. lt has among its supporters over 26 million Americans, and it is planning to raise 6 million dollars for election ex- penditures. PAC has both money and voting strength. M.H. 'Gaer, Josephg The First Round: Duell, pub- lisherp Sloan and Peance.

FACULTY ADVISER ....,......................,A.............,.., James I. Stewart Such Sweet Sorrow There always comes a time to say Goodbye. Whether you are coming back next year, going on to your junior year at some other col- lege, or completing your 'formal education, now the end of this year marks a finished task and points to a new one. We've made new friends, learned many things to help us in our private lives as people and in our public lives as citizens of the world. As members of the editorial board, we've tired to put out a paper with high standards of journalism, and to uphold the principles we believe to be right and democratic. . As members of the student body, we enjoyed the many dances, attended the weekly assemblies, reveled in the unexpected holiday when a gas line broke, acquired beautiful sunburns on Bear Day, and usually managed to get to class on time. Class isn't, however, the least just because it is last. PJC is a place of and for education, first of all. lt hasn't been all peace and quiet on the campus, but what better place is there than a college campus to prepare for questions that must be settled on a larger scale? Although the war is over - you can tell by the abundance of men on campus - our problems aren't solved. We can no longer live in a shell - what affects other affects us. We must get along with the rest of the world. The end of war - the actual fighting, that is - only left us free to try to found a basis for permanent peace. The world is ours - to make or to break. Just like Haydn's Farewell Symphony- in reverse! The knowing held their breath when l'm Just a Prisoner of Love was an- nounced. They were nearly blue in the face before the combo royally burst into the expected Cement Mixer . But where was The Honey Dripper ? A CHlLD'S GARDEN OF CURSES One irate actor stormed into our office to demand a retraction on our story about the play Liliom . Mr. Carl Nelson- not Nelson King-is playing the part of Linzman. After school, all of us will be gone to our respective destinies-performing in AND IN THIS CORNER. . . College students throughout America have been invited to attend the Summer Center of Guatemala, sponsored by the University of Houston, Texas. It will be the first such center ever opened by an American college. Beginning June 3, the study center will feature courses in English of social, econ- omic and cultural conditions in Guatemala. The courses offer standard college credit in junior sociology or history but are open as well to non-students. Approximate cost will be 5300, including transporta- tion, food, housing and field trips. Such a center is more interesting than could be told in a complete volume and many things indescribable. A foreign language and the attached customs are not too difficult to pick up and give us a different approach, as well as being of interest to the 'American Way'. Even a short trip to Nogales fplug, Mr. Monroei will convince one of this. Although it is immediately noted that our country is tar- advanced in most lines,' we Americans have missed some feeling of the infinitude of time and courtesy, both valuable assets. ln a few days it will be 'thirty' for many of us. Graduation will have come and gone. CThose are not black shrouds you see us trying on!I We joke a lot about thank' heavens and having sweated it out , but that's just for your benefit. We really have learned a lot, absorbed the rest, about philosophies of life, how to think, as well as what two and two make. We are 'glad we came'. We are taking with us our grade cards, college-made friendships and mathemat- ical formulas, but we are leaving behind certain traditions to keep, standards to be achieved and goals to be made, as set by our examples. The'good ones, are your And semester exams - the Doc is, as usual, threatening to give his famous two question quiz. CII Outline the book, and i21 fill in the outline. The easiest book for any-of his students to fill in would be the standard Hannelly Joke Book. This includes his three or four basic themes-plus analytical, calculat- ing, and algebraic variations. In answer to the comments made about the feature picture on the front page of the last Bear Tracks, all Fannin and I can say is-N. C. No comb. Liz Land gave the proper description to the jam session in Tuesday's assem- bly.

This perhaps makes it easier on the mem- ory, this having gathered together all the impressions, molding and pushing them into shape and placing them in a corner of the mind for future reference. The attempts usually result, not in a dis- tinct shape or essence, freed of all ex- traneous matter, but more of a box filled with everything and marked with the de- signation of the phase in emotional terms. This itself, though, is of some value, be- cause it is easier to find the box than to find the contents spread about the mind, and having found the box and its desig- nation, the phase is brought to mind as a ready-to-use whole, thus saving time and energy once and for all.' First, l would like to state, belatedly I admit, that the name of my column, ECCE HOMO, means Behold Man, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the cooking department of this or any other institu- tion. Strictly Latin. At times we of the inner pages have been accused of being too criticalf-of satirizing sacred and unchangeable cows, of failing to be constructive. Have you ever played a game when only two knew the secret of the game- the secret sign or catchword? Not much fun, is it? One way to look at all this is that it is a game. Each of us is given a certain number of cards and dealt more from time to time, or we win more by playing. Everyone plays the game - everyone holds cards - everyone can play his cards as he wishes, but, as in a game, it is anyone's guess what the card will mean to you or to the others. But in this game no one wins. They take all your chips away in the end. This is not cynicism. You may not have as good cards as the next fellow, or the next ten fellows, but you have just as' much right to play them-to do with them what you can. Knowing that you can't win and that it must be played, the only remaining alternative is to enjoy it. lt is not a bad game. Like,every game, there are rules and there are people who spend their lives improving the rules and the chances of the individual players. Why not approach it with interest? The rest of the cards have an effect on you BUT yours also have an effect on them. Would it not be better to admit the game, to understand all the forces, to laugh and effect change of the foolish, to enjoy and understand the beautiful, to draw the most from every experience and Land,.Crawford, Nelson Top Sophomore Exams Elizabeth Land, Frank Crawford, and Carl Nelson are the three sophomores hav- ing the highest scores on their compre- hensive examinations, according to an announcement by Mrs. Butler, registrar. The twelve leaders and their scores are Elizabeth Land, 5775 Frank Crawford, 574, Carl Nelson, 565, Gertrude Mack, 5225 Julie Gardner, 507, John Standish, 498, Aird Stewart, 484, Abraham Leon, 480, Myles Hill, 479, Dora Kline, 4795 William Worrell, 479, and Harold Buck- les, 475. No other scores will be released from the Registrar's office. Each person will receive his score with his final grade report. look to the next to learn what everything about us has to teach? ls it not the fool who refuses to admit the game? Does he not miss a lot who waits only for the winning card? There is none. But we are all free insofar as we under- stand what we are doing. And in free- dom there is the happiness of doing the most with what there is in you and about you. What more can be done? This is what we have tried to do-to examine rules, cards, card players, and card player's sleeves. And now we don our caps and gowns, down a soothing, effervescent Alka Selt- zer, and with a very sad 'Adieuf, prepare to go forth into the world and play tic- tac-toe on the sands of time. G.M. The immediate future will be a mo- mentous period, and there are various events which it will be well to watch. Here is compiled a list of occurrences which will be interesting and pertinent to watch. The gubernatorial election in Georgia where the forces of the reactionary un- reconstructed South, supporting former governor Eugene Talmadge, will attempt to wrest control of the state away from the liberal and progressive incumbent forces who support the present Governor, Ellis Arnall. This election will probably determine the fate of the Ku Klux Klan which is, of course, supporting Talmadge. The gubernatorial election in New York will probably feature a struggle be- tween the present governor, Thomas Dew- ey, and the present New York senator, James Mead. Dewey's political career hangs in the balance. The Senatorial election in Ohio will determine the future of John Bricker who is an aspirant to the nomination of presi- dency as a Republican candidate. He is opposing the present Ohio governor, Frank Lausche, a Democrat. -One of the most important elections to be watched is the contests for seats in the House of Representatives from the four key states in New York, Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, and California which will tend to foreshadow the manner in which these four pivotal states will cast elector- al votes in I948. The keenest behind-the-scenes battle in the next three years will be between the liberal and conservative forces in the Republican Party. Near-liberal Harold Stassen is attempting to gain support among the young Republicans through his sponsorship of the Open Forums. On the international scene the biggest row will be on the.decision of the Security Council on dealing with Franco. The committee now carrying on an investiga- tion of Franco now in progress will shortly receive an official memorandum from the Mexican Government which proves con- clusively that Franco was guilty of insti- gating and supporting fifth column move- ments throughout Central and South America and, in addition, of coordinating these with the espionage and seditious ac- tivities of the Nazis and ltalian Fascists. M.H. Annuals will be distributed Wed- nesday, May 29, at the college break- fast which will be held at the Encanto Park picnic -grounds. Page II6 BEAR TRACKS-PHOENIX JUNIOR COLLEGE . . .

There are many veterans with families who would be grateful to you for this opportunity. If you plan to leave Phoenix for the summer lor per- manentlyl give one of your fellow 'stu- dents the chance to rent lor buyl the home you are vacating. Give your name and address to Miss Miller in the Dean's Office, and she will see that all who real- ly need a residence are notified.

Lawn games will provide en- tertainment, and refreshments will be served by pledges. Faculty members pres- ,ent will be Miss E. Stevens, Mrs. Clark, and Mrs. M. Blake. ' KDN is having a harassing time balancing the yearly budget. A party is being planned to honor the girls' mothers and graduat- ing sophomores, to be given in the near future. ' Summer school registration is under way. There are many students who have indicated their intention of going but have not registered. Do so in or- der that we can plan a schedule with fewest errors. Please register before June 3. Classes will start at 7 am Monday morning. Conflicts which are unavoidable will be less if regis- trations are fairly completed immedate- Iy. Normal load will be between 6 and 8 hours, the maximum will be 9 hours. May 24, one week from today, will be the annual assembly of the entire faculty and student body in honor of the Sophomores. There will be no exams from I0 to I2 giving the right of way to this final assembly of school this year. The faculty and the grad- uating class will be in academic cos- tume. As we near the close of the school year, we cherish many memories of the Sophomore Class. Their college days have been accompanied by world taking events. Each member of the class should be commended for hav- ing persisted in his efforts to continue his education. The class is some 30 per cent larger than the i945 group. Your continued success in education and life is the good wish of every one of your friends at Phoenix Junior Col- lege. In this closing issue of Bear Tracks, I wish to bestow the orchids on Coach George D. Hoy for the tremendous job he has done and has yet to do in the way of arranging for the national Jun- ior College track and field meet. The Coach was willing to undertake this in spite of the unnumbered hours this has required. He deserves unlimited support from each member of the faculty and student body. There will be numerous duties which the students and faculty can assume. Show your appreciation by offering your service. . l ,JC ,N C I 6 g, e ou NEV o.
