Judges Decide

Best college newspaper in the 
United States 
in straight news 
writing—that’s the record estab­
lished by The Daily Texan and its 
staff in a contest sponsored by 
Sigma Delta Chi, professional 
journalism 
the 
school year of 1941-’42.

fraternity, , for 

last week 

Results of the 1942 Sigma Delta 
Chi Student Newspaper Contest 
were announced 
in 
Chicago. Granville Price, assistant 
professor of journalism, told the 
facts of the contest and read 
several of the judges’ criticisms 
at a convocation of Texan staff 
members and journalism students 
Wednesday morning at IO o’clock 
in the Journalism Building. Dave 
Tipton, secretary of the Texas 
chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, pre­
en ed the award to Burt Dyke, 
director of Texas Student Publi­
cations.

Entries 

the contest were 
limited to student newspapers at 
the forty-three colleges and uni­
versities where chapters of Sigma 
Delta Chi are located. Winners 
were announced in four divisions 
— editorial writing, feature writ­
ing, sports writing, and straight 
news writing. Each entry was 
made up of five examples of work 
done in each division during the 
period.

Entries from the Texan consist­
ed of stories written by Jack 
Howard, editor last year; Ben Kap. 
Ian, associate editor during the 
fall term last year; Jimmy Pitt, 
associate editor for the spring 
term; Bob Martin and Bob Hobbs, 
staff members; and one other staff 
member still unidentified.

investigation of 

Howard’s story dealt with the 
legislative 
the 
medical school and Kaplan’s with 
student politics. Pitt wrote of the 
fire which razed an entire block 
on Nineteenth Street last spring. 
Martin and Hobbs interviewed two 
professors on a controversial topic, 
and the unknown author wrote on 
the fake professor in the Medical 
Branch.

Professional journalists judged 
the contest entries. They were 
Mrs. William Brown Meloney, 
editor of This Week; W. W. Way- 
mack, editor of the editorial pages 
of the Des Moines Register and 
Tribune; Howard M. Norton, Be­
hind the News editor of the Balti­
more Evening Sun; and Tommy 
Devine, Midwest sports editor for 
the United Press Associations, 
Chicago.

“On the whole,” the judges com­
mented, “the writers seemed well 
aware of 
timely subjects and 
showed a conscious awareness of 
world conditions and problems as 
related to college men and wo­
men.”

•

Of the Texan entry in particular 
they wrote, “If the stories sub­
mitted are a fair sample, The 
Daily Texan’s staff is doing a 
writing job that only a few pro­
fessional staffs are matching. The 
winning stories are not only clear, 
concise, and smooth-flowing, but 
show an 
imaginative treatment 
that goes beyond the bare require­
ments of ‘who, what, when, where, 
and why.’ Some of the stories 
submitted by other papers were 
equally good, but the Texan’s 
selection is clearly the most con­
sistent.”

In the editorial writing division 
the Cornell Daily Sun of Cornell 
University carried off top honors. 
First place in the feature writing 
division went to the Daily Cardinal 
of the University of Wisconsin, 
the 
and 
University of Iowa placed first in 
the sports writing division.

Coke Stills Fear
O f Cut in U IT.
Appropriations

that 

Fears 

the University’s 
1944-45 appropriation might be 
drastically cut were allayed Wed­
nesday when Governor Coke R. 
Stevenson clarified an earlier 
statement in which he suggested 
that the Legislature make “con­
tingent” appropriations for state 
schobls to meet fluctuating en­
rollments.

Since the armed services are 
draining most of the man-power 
from Texas educational institutions 
and enrollments are hitting new 
lows, the Governor suggested the 
Legislature make 
the biennium 
appropriations on the basis of 
expected enrollment with the stip­
ulation that less money be spent 
if the enrollment failed to meet 
expectations.

For the University, for instance, 
appropriations are based on en­
rollment with a set amount allo­
cated for each student. Since the 
enrolment is contingent on the 
drain of war against the student 
body, he suggested that certain 
items in the appropriation be made 
contingent on the enrollment meet­
ing a certain predetermined figure.

l f 

the College of Arts and 
Sciences; for example, is expected 
to have an enrollment of 
two 
thousand students, the Legislature 
would appropriate on that basis. 
But if the enrollment dropped to 
one thousand after the appropria­
tion, the Board of Regents, which 
is the administrative body, would 
cut expenses to meet 
the new 
enrollment figure.

“contingent” 

The Governor explained 

that 
the 
appropriation 
would enable the University and 
other state schools to operate on 
a flexible budget which could be 
carved or increased to meet the 
needs of the moment. In the event 
of an enrollment decline, 
the 
Regents would cut 
the faculty 
temporarily and take other steps 
to keep the University operating 
within a figure corresponding to 
its enrollment.

Governor Stevenson said Wed­
nesday that he had not determined 
whether or not he would include 
such a 
in his 
recommendation 
speech to the Legislature but said 
he believed the plan was worth 
studying at a time when state 
revenues are ebbing.

Saga of the Longhorn Room -------

U. T. Night Club to Open
Despite Table Shortage

B f BO B A LT ER M A N

While preparing for the re-opening of the Longhorn Room on 
Saturday night, the Union staff encountered difficulties which, 
according to a statement from Mrs. Nell Hutchinson, director of the 
Union, might appropriately be called “the fable of the table.”

Tables formerly used to accommodate patrons of the Longhorn 

Room were turned over to the*
Navy Flight Preparatory School,
which has established a headquar­
ters on the campus, so they could 
set up eating facilities. But what 
was food for the cadets turned 
out to be sour apples for the 
Union, for no new tables could 
be had.

In a frenzy, Mrs. Hutchinson 
had her staff scour the campus. 
At length thirty enrollment tables 
and two hundred chairs were ap­
propriated f r o m Gregory Gym, 
and, in the basement of the Union 
itself, fourteen more tables were 
found. But—to cap the climax— 
when the time came to set them 
up, it was found they had no legs.
So Mrs. Hutchinson ordered 
legs carved for the tables. And 
she assures students that when 
the Longhorn Room opens at 9 
o’clock Saturday night, there will

be enough 
capacity crowd.

to handle a 

Originating a new policy, the 
Longhorn Room Saturday night 
will have its floor show sponsored, 
selected, and directed by 
two 
campus groups. Delta Delta Delta 
sorority and Phi Gamma Delta 
fraternity, the sponsoring groups, 
will present a program to include 
the Phi Gam Quartet; an act of 
magical feats by Dr. Harry Moore, 
assistant professor of sociology; 
piano selections by Bill Kinney; 
vocal arrangements by Billie Bert 
Trotti; and songs by the Tri-Delt 
“Short Girl” Chorus. Larry Lott 
will act as master of ceremonies.
to six hun­
limited 
dred, reservations may still be se­
cured, Mrs. Hutchinson s a i d . 
Reservations are held until 9 
o’clock Saturday night, and those 
who have not secured them may, 
most of the time, still be admitted.

New Classification 
Gives Specialists 
Commissions

The Navy recently announced 
a new classification in which ap­
plications for officers’ commis­
sions are now being accepted. All 
applications to be considered must 
be in Washington, D. C., by Janu­
ary 12. Lieutenant Preston Moore, 
director of the Houston branch 
office of Naval Officer Procure­
ment, urges any man believing 
himself qualified to apply not later 
than January 6 to the Houston 
office.

“Applicants must be between 
the ages of 28 and 45 and have a 
good knowledge of specific for­
eign areas, including the habits, 
customs and languages of the peo­
ple there,” Lieutenant Moore said. 
“This knowledge may have been 
acquired through residence, travel, 
or study. Those who know the 
F*\r East find South Pacific islands 
are especially sought, but assign­
ments will not be limited to these 
specific areas.

•

Previous training is desirable 
in one or more of the following: 
anthropology, sociology, languages, 
public administration, business ad­
ministration, law, sanitary engin­
eering, agriculture, or statistics, 
Lieutenant Moore said.

Following an eight-weeks indoc­
trination course, those who quali­
fy will receive instruction in ad­
ministration of military govern­
ment at Columbia University, New 
York. This instruction period will 
last approximately one year, dur­
ing which time all training ex­
penses will be paid by the Navy.

Fascism to Be 
Rale's Topic

Professor E. E. Hale, sponsored 
by Common Sense, will give his 
impression of Fascism Friday night 
at 7 :30 o’clock at the University Y.
As chairman of the Department 
of Economics, Mr. Hale was con­
sidered “irreplaceable” by 
the 
Board of Regents last spring when 
they refused to release him 
to 
serve with the Office of Price 
Administration. He returned to 
the campus 
in September from 
Washington a few days late but 
in time to take over his classes.

Although he professes no poli­
tical affiliations, Mr. Hale is a 
dependable authority on political 
and economic systems. Back in 
1937, in a paper read before the 
Social Science Convention, he 
commented on the fact that Japan 
was tending toward Fascism.

Arriving Cadets Learn 
Navy Lingo; March

B f JACK BROOKS

Jumping off a train from Dallas Wednesday in a cold drizzling 
rain, several hundred Navy aviation cadets piled into Del Vail-* Air 
Base trucks which carried them and their luggage (everything from 
tin suitcases to swanky russet cowhide bags) to Roberts Hall where 
they will make up the first Navy Pre-Flight School in the nation.
..................................

and under military discipline. 
They’ll march to classes; officers 
will command them to sit down— 
after classes 
the 
room, picking up paper, cigarettes 
and other trash. I f s all part of 
military neatness, and the Navy 
means business.

they’ll police 

Marching into the dorm, civilians 
were shocked to hear naval officers 
bark, “ Come on there, shake a 
leg,” and inside when they filed 
past to get a list of things they 
were to do, an officer said “Hats 
off!” What he meant was hats off.
The cadets are here for indoc­
trination into Navy life and to take 
academic c o u r s e s , principally 
mathematics, physics, navigation, 
and other subjects. The Navy is 
training these cadets to become 
ensigns 
the Naval Aviation 
Corps. As ensigns they will receive, 
including flight pay, about $312 
per month. The course which they 
are starting Thursday is costing 
the government more than $27,000 
and will turn them out as the 
finest pilots in the land.

in 

On hand to greet the cadets

were four senior Naval R.O.T.C. 
men, R. J. Stevenson, Harry Wil­
liams, Jimmie Allison and William 
Burns, and Miss Juliet Elizabeth 
Dieter.

An unofficial but equally cordial 
welcoming body were Nell Daniel, 
Marjorie Wood, and Gem Ella 
Dudley, University girls who went 
down to watch the cadets arrive.

Another welcoming party was 
that of Dorothy Allen and Rose 
Kennedy who were 
to meet 
Dorothy’s brother, Fred Allen, a 
cadet.

The cadets were transported to 
Roberts Dormitory 
immediately 
and assigned to quarters, given 
room keys, post office boxes, and 
bedding. Later they will receive 
books, equipment, anad uniforms. 
A Dallas Navy Board physician 
will give then medical check-ups 
soon.

•

While here they will receive $75 
per month. The government au­
thorized free $10,000 life insur­
ance policies December 15, 1942.
Lieutenant M. J. Grove, Yale 
graduate, 1929, will be “officer 
in charge” of 
the school here. 
Lieutenant Commander Barry Hol­
ton, officer in charge of the Dallas 
Naval Aviation Selection Board, is 
head of all naval aviation training 
in Texas and Oklahoma. The men 
were recruited by the Dallas Board 
with 95 per cent coming from 
Texas and 5 per cent from Okla­
homa.

in 

Typically Texan and anxious to 
get 
this war, Yeoman Fred 
Olson of the Dallas staff said 
some of the boys had undergone 
operations costing as much as 
$250 to pass their physical ex­
aminations.

•

University life for the cadets 
will be strictly Navy-style. They 
will go to classes together. They’ll 
exercise together. They’ll do what 
their officers tell them. Roberts 
dormitory is now the U. S. S. Rob­
erts, permanently docked in Aus­
tin. Floors are no longer floors, 
they’re going to he “decks.” Walls 
are no longer walls, they’re “bulk­
heads” eating has ceased to be 
feed bag. food, fodder, but is for 
the duration “chow.”

For time the cadets will say 
ought seven hundred instead of 
7 o’clock in the morning. At night 
six o’clock will be eighteen hun­
dred. These cadets are going to 
start learning Navy lingo imme­
diately, if not sooner.

Arriving in groups about half 
the size of that which arrived to­
day, the school will continue to 
admit cadets until approximately 
three times as many cadets as ar­
rived here today are in the Pre- 
Pre-Flight School. Classes will 
graduate (when is a military se­
cret). After graduation cadets will 
take C.A.A. pilot training, former­
ly C.P.T., then go to naval pre­
flight training schools, and finally 
to advanced naval aviation bases, 
where 
they will wind up their 
work and receive the coveted gold 
wings.

U. T. Debaters Meet 
Southwestern Jan. 13

50 U. T. Profs 
To Assist Training

B f TOMMY T U R N E R

For the first time since there 
was a University of Texas, it was 
officially “christened” Tuesday 
afternoon— and by 
the United! 
States Navy at that.

The “christening” took place a l 
the first meeting of Navy officials 
in charge of the school’s Naval 
R.O.T.C. and 
the new “U. S. 
Naval Flight Preparatory School** 
with University instructors wha 
will teach the fledgling flyers in 
technical ground training. As ex­
plained by Captain John J. Lon­
don, senior Naval officer on tha 
campus, the ceremony of christen­
ing as applied to any ship that 
the Navy takes over was assimilat­
ed as nearly as possible. Th* 
Commandant, in the process Tues­
day represented by Captain Lon­
don, announces 
is 
commissioned, the flag is raised 
over it, the watch is set, and th9 
commanding officer takes over.

the “ship” 

•

Commanding officer in Tues­
day’s ceremony was Lieutenant 
M. J. Grove, who took over tbs 
facilities of the University leased 
by the Navy for training its future 
war birds. With the reading of 
his orders from naval headquarters 
in Washington, and the repeating 
of “ Captain London, I assume 
charge of the Naval Flight Pre­
paratory School of Austin, Teaks,** 
Lieutenant Grove became the first 
Naval officer in history to com­
mand Navy flyers at the Univer­
sity.

All University instructors who 
will teach the Navy flyers were 
present at 
the meeting. Exact 
numbers are taboo under Navy 
censorship ipgulations, but it might 
be said that approximately fifty 
instructors will handle the ground 
training of the men. Captain Lon­
don, in addressing the instructors, 
hinted that draft boards would no 
doubt be inclined to regard their 
work as essential and act accord­
ingly. Captain London also said 
that Alton Burdine, vice-president 
of the University, would act as 
academic co-ordinator of the train­
ing program here until a change 
was announced.

Van Sickle Eases 
Students' Travel

Latin-American 

students who 
went home for the Christmas holi­
days found some of the difficulties 
in crossing and 
the 
borders relaxed, largely through 
the efforts of Gordon Van Sickle, 
Inter-American 
co-ordinator of 
student activities.

recrossing 

The students first got official 
letters from the Registrar’s Office 
showing them to be students in 
good standing. This was 
their 
recognition to get back into the 
United States.

They were advised to report t5 
their respective consuls in Mexico 
upon arrival 
their visas 
to get 
renewed.

Many of 

the Latin-American 
students were also advised to take 
their money in the form of $2 
bills and travelers’ checks, the only 
forms of currency not liable to 
be confiscated. Mr. Van Sickle 
said Axis agents apparently had 
been flooding Mexico with counter­
feit money, but could not make 
bogus $2 bills, because of 
the 
scarcity of genuine ones, or coun­
terfeit travelers’ checks.

Restrictions on crossing national 
boundaries multiplied since 
the 
outbreak of war, Mr. Van Sickle 
said. Students have had more 
the country 
trouble re-entering 
than in leaving.

Two members of the University 
debate team will m e e t a team 
from Southwestern University of 
Georgetown on January 13. The 
University representatives will be 
chosen at a meeting of the team 
members later in the week.

The question to be debated is 
“Resolved, that a system of intra­
mural athletics should be adopted 
the United 
the schools of 
by 
States for the duration.”

Warrants to March 23 
Now Being Redeemed

State Treasury W arrants issued 
up to March 23, 1942 are now 
redeemed, Treasury of­
being 
ficials announced Tuesday. Num­
bers through 152952 will be paid.
The deficit was reported as of 
January 5 at $28,331,526.81, com­
pared with $30,248,065, on Janu­
ary 5, 1942.

“Women, War, and the Mer­
chant Marine” is the title of the 
talks to be made by J. Frank 
Dobie and John Henry Faulk at 
5 o’clock Thursday afternoon in 
the Texas Union Main Lounge. 
First in a series to be sponsored 
by the Campus War Council, the 
talks will be followed by an open 
forum.

Students, women students par­
ticularly, are asked to help the 
war effort by bringing to

Longhorn Cagers Down Rice In Opener, 5 5 -3 6
Hargis Takes 
Scoring Honors

Six Maroons May Attend Texas

With High Hopes

Crowd of 5,000 
Witnesses Game

By P A U L MARCUS
T exa n S p o rt! St af f

Before an enthusiastic crowd 
of 5,000 fans the Longhorns made 
themselves the leading contender 
to challenge T.C.U. for the con­
ference by trouncing Rice 55-36 
Wednesday night in Gregory Gym.
It was Texas all the way as the 
team held at least an eleven-point 
lead over the Owls. Only once did 
the Rice quintet look as if they 
might challenge Texas f o r the 
lead, in the second half, and then 
the drive bogged down.

Three minutes of the game had 
gone before either team hit the 
basket and then Brahaney sunk 
one from close in to put Texas 
in the lead.

The Longhorns literally rushed 
the boys in blue off their feet. 
Not only lacking time to shoot, 
Rice had a hard time keeping the 
ball, because Overall and Hargis 
anatched it away from them every 
time they got it.

to fight 

The fouls did not start coming 
on until the second period. Then 
the game was 
reminiscent of 
rough and tumble ball when Texas 
it out 
and Rice used 
for the conference championship.
Dusty Boggess, one of the re f­
erees, drew plenty of laughs by 
dem onstrating to the teams why a 
particular foul was called. The 
crowd, when differing with the 
officials, was very generous with 
its own decisions, voiced by hisses 
and cat calls.

The second half of the game 
started with F rank Brahaney tak­
ing the center jump all the way 
fo r a goal. Rice t o o k the ball 
making one. Every time one team 
made a goal the other retaliated. 
During this five m inutes of play 
Texas still maintained their con­
sistent eleven-point lead. It was 
not until a Rice man drew a foul 
the Steers started pulling 
that 
away from the Institute.

A fter th at first second-half foul 
the game got rough with both 
team s falling over each other try ­
ing to get the ball.

Hargis was high-point man for 
the Longhorns with 
nineteen 
points. Brahaney was next with 
twelve. Willie Croucher led the 
is the 
Owls with fourteen. He 
brother of Les Croucher, form er 
basketball star of the University. 
In the second half of the game he 
had to leave the floor with an in­
jured leg, but returned to rack 
up the most points. Lambert of 
Rice provided plenty of 
thrills 
with his beautiful one-handed 
shots fa r out from the basket.

The only goals the Owls made 
were no closer than the foul line, 
because they could not work in 
close enough to score any off the 
board. At times there were two

Texas men 
Rice man who looked as 
if he 
might break through.

Cummins of Rice was held to 
two points for the evening. Dar­
ling did not sink a one. d o s s was 
bo well guarded th at his height did 
not help him make more than one 
point, breaking up his average 
thus fa r in the season.

With 

the conference allowing 
freshmen to play this year, Bully 
Gilstrap was able to put some new 
faces on the floor last night and 
having a chance to give some of 
the ex­
next year’s sophomores 
perience they will need. None of 
the freshmen with either 
team 
gained any points but they showed 
promise of getting them later on 
in the season.

Whew! The year 1942 didn’t

If the adage of “ eat beans on 
January I, you’ll eat beans the 
rest of the year,” is correct then 
the Steers couldn’t have gotten 
off to a better start than the way 
they won over Georgia Tech 14-7 
in the Cotton Bowl New Y ear’s 
Day.

Even old man jitters couldn’t 
upset Texas in their bowl debut. 
Jackie Field was ju st as steady on 
his touchdown kick return as Jack 
Crain ever was. It was a success­
ful climax to a great season, a 
surprising one in view of the in­
in which 
experienced condition 
they started, and in contrast to 
the powerful 
team of the year 
previous which was expected to 
do much more than the ’42 squad.

It took a long time for Paul B.

Williamson, sports ranker extra­
ordinaire, to fe rre t the Longhorns 
out of the gridiron maze, but in 
this week’s ratings the team 
is 
placed in fourth position in the 
nation, one slot above Georgia 
Tech, who, expect for their last 
quarter surge, looked more

they should have played Austin i

Seaman Bob Kinney, living up 
to pre-season predictions, led the 
scoring with a total of thirty-one 
points for the affray. Setting a 
fast pace in the last period, after 
acting Captain Ben Gates, form er 
Sam Houston S tate Teachers 
player, had been fouled out of 
the game, Kinney was credited 
w i t h a greater portion of the 
points scored by the Comets in 
the last few m inutes of play.

Ensign John Dick, All-Ameri­
can captain of the national cham­
pionship Oregon University five 
in ’39, and Ensign Billy Dewell, 
ex-S.M.U. great, hampered 
the 
Longhorns’ every move through­
out the melee, causing the faster

fouls in the opening minutes of 
play.

losing many scoring opportunities. 
The teamwork of the Steers was

Glenn Cooke, and Bobby Coy Lee, 
along with three other members 
of the state champs, Joe Billy 
Baum gardner, George McCall, and 
Jimmy Banks.

Coach Dana X. Bible stated 
Wednesday: “We are hoping and 
expecting a statement In the near

future from the War Department 
which will sanction the continu­
ance of intercollegiate and inter­
scholastic sports. I do not believe 
there is any training except mili­
tary that fits a boy more perfectly 
for the armed forces than a strong 
program o f athletic training.”

T errell Allen, all-state center, 
who polled the largest num ber of 
individual votes, would be a defi­
nite asset to any college eleven. 
His play a t center is flawless on 
offense a swell as defense. On 
the defense Allen played in the 
linebacker slot and few were the 
ball carriers th a t could brag of 
getting past him. Wilton Ferrel, 
outstanding Reagan fullback, can 
testify th a t Allen tags his man 
hard and sure. Nor can many 
fumbles he blamed on any bad 
passes from center.

McCall is one of those few high 
school ends th a t can play a hard 
and good game both on the of­
fense and defense. He is a good 
blocker and tackler and Austin 
gained a lot of yardage through 
the airw ays due to George’s su­
perb job of pulling the high ones 
out of the air.

Lee, all-state back, is the triple 
th rea t of the Austin high back­
field. His favorite passing mate 
is George McCall and since these 
six will be going together, it will 
indeed be a break for the school 
they attend.

These boys have had experience 
and know how to work together, 
and therefore will be able to take 
the field when 
’43 season 
opens.

The Firing Line
Jlom Gan Jtabit Mane 
South'I Political Relief?

“ Habit with him was a feel of truth: it 
must be right, I've done it from my youth*”
 Crabbe

 

Habit seems to be the South’s test for 
truth in its politics. I refer particularly to 
the fanatical devotion of our region to the 
Democratic Party, the zealous hatred of 
anything smelling of Republican. This de­
votion has created for us the somewhat 
dubious title of “Solid South,” referring 
to the stability of our votes or the density 
of our heads, I’m not sure which. Especi­
ally is this difference amazing when the 
differences between the two parties are 
so small as to be negligible. Too much 
attention is given the differences and too 
little the candidates. Too many people, it 
seems, vote the way they do “cause paw 
useta,” or “cause Hoover brought on the 
depression.” Others, it seems, w i t h no 
other motive in mind but the exercising 
of their prerogative, blindly stab at the 
ballot under “Democrat” and forget the 
rest. That is all well and good because 
they do have that privilege. 
I merely 
question the value. 
(I wonder how many 
votes Browder would get if he ran as a 
Dem o?)

If it were true that “all political parties 
eventually die from the swallowing of 
their own lies, I wouldn’t worry. But they 
they don’t, or at least the present one in 
power doesn’t seem to* I worry because 
the South is not contributing its share to 
the intangible check and balance of the 
two-party system against Fascism. In say­
ing this, I do not condemn or mean to libel 
anyone who votes a lethargic democratic 
ticket, but to ask if such jealous pursuance 
is not unwise*

I like to see the kind of competition for 
public office that New York has, where 
eaph vote means a political battle, al­
though the votes are blocked off. I deplore 
the system we have of following like sheep 
behind a lead goat, just any candidate the 
Democrats stick up, where the man who 
win? the primary is in. One can readily 
see the results this past year. In the last 
presidential election, many southerners 
voted the ticket of heresy, the Republican, 
and I think the first ray of light is begin­
ning to seep through down here that the 
Democrats are not gods.

Personally I like the party now in power 
because of its liberal labor policy, its lean­
ings toward socialization. I do not, how­
ever, want this party to stay in power 
regardless of how well I like it, if it means 
that* a one-party system may emerge. I do 
not want reform if it means that these re­
forms are to be left to the discretion of 
politicians who rarely change or need to 
because of a single party; who have no 
other members of other parties to relieve 
them when they misgovern.

I do not propose that the average South­
erner froth at the mouth and scream that 
profane word, “Republican,” advertise his 
unbelievable venture outside the chosen 
ranks* I do propose that consideration be 
given the Republican platform, o r. the 
Communist or Socialist, for that m atter 
rather than maintain a complete apathy 
toward the need for multi-party system, 
that apathy which could easily become the 
roots for Fascist policies such as we are 
now fighting.

A lot has been said In the 
newspapers and the magazines 
which have been published 
since we left for the holidays 
about what is going to happen 
to the colleges of the country. 
It ca n 't all be right, because 
many of the people who con­
tributed inform ation disagreed. 
Probably most of the students 
of the nation, home fo r vaca­
tion and out fo r a good time or 
else, ignored w hat the experts 
had to say on the subject. But 
you can’t help seeing some of 
it— or realizing th at, a fte r all, 
we are the people most directly 
concerned.

W hat is going to happen to 
the colleges, as a result of the 
war and of w hatever conditions 
are in existence a fte r the war 
is over? Nobody really knows. 
Still less can anyone say with 
finality what should happen to 
them. When opinions a r e a1! 
you h a v e to go on, though, 
opinions have their value.

The predom inant 

trend o f 
thou ght seem* to be that w ar­
tim e end postw ar universities 
w ill em phasise practical train ­
in g m ere end so-celled 
’’cul­
tu ra l” training le ts. You know 
w hat we mean by culture— ju st 
w het people usually m ean w hen 
th ey use that word, although 
if you take it for w hat it really 
m eans a field o f corn is just 
as cultured as a co lleg e pro­
fesso r. B ut 
that 
the 
grad u ates o f the new kind o f 
u n iversity w ill have a com plete 
w orking k now ledge o f 
som e 
trade or p rofession and a good 
idea o f what is g o in g on in the 
world, in spite o f the fa ct that 
th ey m ay be 
ign oran t o f the 
great m asters o f art or the fin e 
points o f English literature.

id ee 

is 

place 

immediately 

The people who hold to this 
p o 'n t of view usually approve 
of it— th at is, they’re not la­
menting over the situation a t 
all; they’re plugging to hurry 
it along. And it’s undeniable 
th a t they are rig h t as fa r as 
the duration of the war is con­
cerned. Although a lot of the 
‘‘liberal arts” kind of teaching 
will probably remain on 
the 
campuses throughout the war, 
the emphasis will surely be on 
getting students ready to take 
their 
as 
fighters or workers in a work­
ing and fighting world.
B ut what about 

the peace 
th at seems so fa r away right 
now? Will higher education 
stay back down to earth, or will 
it get back again on the ped­
it has occupied for so 
estal 
long? Most people 
it 
should stay off th a t pedestal, 
now th a t the w ar has bounced 
it off, but they may be going 
fa rth e r than they should. Un­
doubtedly every college course 
should be a useful one. It’s 
pretty hard, though, to draw 
the line. You might leave col­
lege perfectly fitted to do the 
job you had picked out to do 
and with a f a i r am ount of 
knowledge about w h a t you 
read In the newspapers. And 
you still m ight spend the rest 
of your life wondering what it 
was th at you had missed.

A G am s o f My O wn

When I was home fo r the 
holidays an au n t o f mine gave 
me a nice, originial Christmas 
gift— a beautiful black game 
frier.

A fte r trudging the long mile 
to her house and catching the 
elusive creature, I smiled as I 
walked along, feeling of 
the 
fa t legs of the chicken. It was 
easy to visualize steam ing hot 
fried chicken aw aiting the pres­
sure of my pow erful molars.

Mother didn’t have the w ater 
hot when I got home so I put 
the chicken in a small coop for 
the time being.

You’ll never forget “ Hostages” 
for its reality, truth, and humanity.
Born 29 years ago in Germany, 
Mr. Heym dedicates his first novel 
to his 
father, who committed 
suicide a fte r spending six weeks 
as a hostage of 
the German 
gestapo. Stefan Heym escaped 
from Germany into Czechoslovakia 
in 1933 and spent the next two 
years w riting in Prague. He came 
to the United States in 1936 on 
a scholarship from the University 
of Chicago. He has w ritten for 
and edited the German-language, 
anti-Nazi weekly, “Deutsches Volk- 
secho,” in New York City for two 
years.

Rationing Holds Open 
'Miss 

Photography9 Hunt

By MARIJO PHIPPS

No definite closing date has been announced by officials of the 
Miss Photography Contest o f 1943. This is to give each model a 
chance to pose in as many diffsrent pictures as possible, since film 
rationing and gas rationing make it harder to collect pictures rapidly.
The display of entries to-date is on tho fourth floor of the Physics 

Building. This includes a series.*”
of six pictures by A. D. Glover 
of a girl draped in a white Span­
ish mantilla, with no props or 
extra devices added to express the 
idea, An entire story is told by 
the expression on the girl’s face 
and the position of her shoulders, 
with attention centered on her 
face. The shawl, instead of dis­
tracting, covers everything else. 
The model varies her expression 
from the madonna-like to impish­
ness and cordial greeting, to ex­
trem e boredom. The purpose o f the 
contest is to give a model oppor­
tunity to pose in as many different 
moods as possible, and to give her 
experience 
in adapting to any 
idea before the camera. Three 
other pictures of Glover's using 
th« same technique of ho special 
lighting, no props, and extreme 
simplicity, show a model, bare­
shouldered a n d laughing, clean 
and fresh looking. The smile on 
the girl’s face is natural a n d 
charming, and the picture, despite 
its plainness, is interesting and not 
tiresome at all. The picture o f a 
dissipated, smoking girl, clothes 
disarranged, and hair tousled is 
powerful because of its lack of 
any added device except the posi­
tion of the model. Her attitude 
tells a story and the only prop 
used is the cigarette which she 
holds.

•

Jake/D . Kveton Jr. chose a girl 
and roses for his topics. In one 
picture, the girl is holding roses 
in her lap, she is phoning, and 
from the happy expression on her 
face, there is no doubt that she 
is thanking t h e sender o f the 
flowers. However, the picture is 
damaged by a gray overcast, 
there is little contrast between the 
darks and lights, and very little 
life. His treatment of the idea, 
and the balancing of the compos!

tion were the only good points in 
the picture. His other work shows 
the model against a satin blanket 
background, holding roses. Kveton 
did not have as good an idea in 
this picture as in his other one, 
but this one ie not over-clouded 
with gray, and some contrast is 
achieved.

The dancing girl, by H. P. 
Luckett, is interesting as far as 
detail and costume go, but the 
girl looks like a 10-year old in 
the high school operetta. T h e 
darkened face, characteristic of

all Luckett portraits, ta gay aud 
laughing. The pictures depend too 
much upon the added props and 
lighting effects to tell an inter­
esting story. Luckett’s praying 
Mexican woman is unusual and 
tends toward the dramatic. How­
ever, tile face in this picture is so 
dark, no expression can be seen; 
the hands hold a rosary Mid are 
emphasized by a lighted cross, the 
only shaft of light in the solid 
black background.

The picture of the girl stand­
ing by trees, by Fisher L. Forrest, 
does not have enough contrast to 
give it that “alive” look. A t first 
glance, the figure of the model 
blends into the tree trunks, ob­
scuring the girl entirely. Trite in

composition, the picture does aet 
give the girl a chance to show her 
ability to model at all, and the 
result is a semi-silhouetted laad- 
scape study.

None o f the pictures this year 
have showed as much originality 
and skill as those in the 19 4 1 -’42 
contest.
