The answer lies in the fact that the art of good writing cannot be taught exclusively by an instructor in English It must be the result of united effort of the entire teaching staff Accuracy in all subjects is essential if the student is to form habits of workmanship that exclude artistry and exactness of expression A second factor must be a desire to learn on the part of the student The ability to speak and write English must be earned through honest effort and a desire to master one’s mother tongue There must be pride in achievement not apology for scholarship A third and most important factor is the inability of students to listen attentively in class listen attentively in class Listening tests administered for the first time this year provided conclusive evidence that 85 percent of the students ranked “poor” in the listening aptitude An interesting observation reveals that almost every honor student for the autumn quarter achieved a rating of good or excellent in the listening test The key to effective communication may be summarized in four magic words — accuracy effort cooperation and listening ability Would Alliance Increase Enrollment? By TOM PLATIS The United States is involved in an educational race with Russia This has been brought out in newspapers and magazines and many people are aware of it If there is any way which will help America reach its goal far ahead of enemies of the free world I believe we should grasp it This question now arises: Will the tie-i- n of Carbon College and the University of Utah help this cause? I definitely believe it will More people will have the chance to attend school Of the one thousand students attending Carbon College now seven hundred arc high school pupils Who is going to fill this gap when the high school moves? In a survey conducted by the Utah State Building Board the statement was made the enrollment at Snow College would increase 71 percent in ten years Carbon if continued as it is is expected to increase 17 percent in the next ten years Snow College is a branch of Utah State University People if given the chance to educate themselves will give the United States a chance to survive Dorm Life Offers Problems Life in the men's dormitory at Carbon College is typical of life on any college or university campus Here the boys are away from home the tasks of performing the duties of every day life gives them valuable experience The young men alternate In planning menus and in the preparation of food As you might expect there is much “opening of cans” or dashing to some hamreburger stand as sorts at times Surprisingly enough some of the young men are very good cooks “Doing dishes” seems to be the drudgery of dorm life and often great piles and heaps of them accumulate and everyone gets his chance to ruin his “lilly white Keeping the individual apartments clean is a chore which of all four takes the men housed in each of the 16 units Each unit has a small compact well equipped kitchen two two closets large bedrooms two beds two desks and a wash shower is shared basin A of the two rooms the occupants by Weekly inspection of floors beds stoves showers and walls necessitates keeping the apartments in tip top shape The night of inspection finds the boys busily moping waxing and polishing floors and scrubbing sinks stoves and showers The boys find keeping up their own clothes a chore Mother did much more efficiently and easily A washer and dryer located in the basement of the main building provides modern facilities for laundry needs Many an unhappy young man has brought a musty green T shirt from among his green rug and other once white things After washing is completed ironing is a struggle for almost everyone Mother's services are readily engaged on a weekend trip home Varied amounts of study are put in by each fellow He may study In the dorm at his desk or he can go to the college library When studies are finished or at least nearly so the “guys”

terrorized the people from India to Moscow Earth PLATIS Man Is endowed with the ability of acclimating himself very easily to his environment or in words of philosophical content “He can live anywhere” He achieves this feat by building buildings — huge tremendous hunks of concrete steel wood and porcelain wherein he can control heat light and other things that need controling Within the expenses of these edifices comes another component part We must of then turn to the hero of today's modern world the demi-go- d civilization the bearer of the torch the saviour of the simple the man among men — THE JANITOR I can hear the snickers now you clods of humanity making jest of man's noblest profession Laughs always laughs when at the dusk of day the stalwart enemies of dirt and dust march forth But why? Are the janitors ugly? (Well maybe I better take that one back) Are the janitors stupid? (another bad question!) I mean why does everyone pick on janitors? Do janitors drink beer? (Hmm all these questions keep coming out wrong) Janitors are really important Very few people realize that they ore specialists at their trade There is for instance a hall specialist a room specialist a washroom specialist Few people realize all the HARD work a janitor performs Sweeping mopping washing chicken fat off walls etc If people realized the trials of the janitor they wouldn’t persist in making things harder How do people make it harder? Easy OH yeah they’re in categories First there’s the hce-he- e type: (For the sake of continuity from now on the speech of the janitor will be underlined his thoughts will be in parentheses and the speech of the “type will be in its regular up-to-d- form) The hce-he- e type is the one that waits till after everyone else has gone home and then opens her locker all the time u itching the janitor come sweeping down the side of the hall by peering out the side of her glass head with her cross eye When the janitor reaches her he is forced to stop He would sweep her right off her feet except this type usually weighs somewhere around 400 pounds and would be playing left tackle for the team except she’s too rough The conversation that ensues goes something like this: What are you doing? (Lady anyone can easily see I'm climbing ML Everst to plant the flag of lower Slobovia at its peak) I’m sweeping the hall You don’t want to sweep here do you? (No lady I’ve been here two hours sweeping all the rest of the hall and this is the last strip of hall left What reason in the world would I have for wanthee-he- e I guess ing to sweep there? Yes ma’am I would Well hee-hI’ll have to move over then won’t I? (No lady you could flap your wings and take off and I could sweep under you or you could ooze back into the ground and I could sweep over you) I’d appreciate It After delaying your work for 30 minutes she disappears Seconds later blood curdling screams and heart-rendin- g sobs bteak the sculptural stillness as "Tiny” emerges from the washroom mumbling words that sounded vaguely like “Peeping Tom” You put your hat which you had placed over your heart back on your head and go on sweeping the halls The second type is the Haw-Hatype He’s the type that is ustoo dumb to make it in life so he's come back to school so they ually won’t arrest him for vagrancy He’s got the typical loafer's y and he wears the stell-toc- d miner’s boots as a memo of the one day in life that he tried working Ile’stlie kind that leans against the hall noisily picking his teeth watching the janitor go sweeping up and down the halls and at the opportune moment plants his number 12 boot in front of the broom This brings the broom to an abrupt halt while the janitor is still moving This causes the janitor to swallow the top of the broom handle after it has forced its way through his front teeth With the inertia still working and the bottom of the broom braced against the boot acting as a pilot point the janitor with the broom handle in his tonsils by now lsdcftly flipped on his back Another day another janitor! These are but two types but because of space I can’t go on You know them There is the one who chews a package of gum and spits out Individually each stick or the girl who breaks a bottle of hand lotion on the floor making It so easy to sweep and on and on To these valiant few who make a janitor’s life complete we of the janitors would like to say 'Go home bum” One closing comment “Let's make Greece the 51st state" ee w beer-bell- Pear-Shap- ed Do you think the earth is round?
