PRIORITY o l ugar, coffee, canned goods, meats-their transvaluations in these times are too well known to justify repetition. The changing aspects of the food- stuff scene have had direct consequences on a hundred and thirty-five million digestive tracts-what with rationing, priorities, and two-block lines at the butcher's shop. Aside from the strictly biological, however, another sphere of human existence has been challenged by the crises on the home front: a challenge perhaps not as immediately perceptible as that pertaining to matters gusta- tory, but one nonetheless just as crucial, exigent, and demanding-and that is the challenge to education. The Bugle is replacing the book for students from Portland, Maine to Port- land, Oregon. Their colleges and universities have adopted accelerated programs in an attempt to complete their education before induction, their professors have cheerfully accepted added burdens to make that possible.

'ii A' lil- MESSAGE FROM N W MEXICO'S GO ER GR The Honorable John J. Dempsey, Governor I am happy to express, through the Mirage, my greetings and good wishes to the student body of the University of New Mexico. These are difficult times, and University students like everyone else have had to make sacrifices. To some it has meant a sacrifice of their college education in order to take on the important task of fighting for their country. Others who are now students may be leaving before the completion of their college courses to join those already in the armed services. To those who do leave I urge that they consider the war a temporary interruption, not an end to their college work, and that they plan to resume at the earliest possible time their university studies. New Mexico as it continues to grow and progress will need the services of trained men and women, for New Mexico's growth and development will be limited only by the limitations of her people. New Mexico is proud of her educational system and of the young men and women who have been graduated from the University of New Mexico. The University has fine traditions, a reputation for excel- lent scholarship. I know that those who graduate here will be a credit to the college and to New Mexico. Sincerely, JOHN J. DEMPSE.Y, Governor. PAGE TWELVE
