Speaking of hangovers and we were weren't we did you hear about the loud-rowdy fellow-students from good ole Weber who called up some of the more reserved faculty members (also Dr. Dix) to wish them a happy New Year at 5:30 a. m. Naturally, a good time was had by all except, of course, the faculty members. FUNNY FACTS FROM THE FESTIVE FLING .And now Dahrl has that little tie that binds a ring, in other words. We were afraid that 'working for a jewelry store would be too much temptation for Merle and sure enuf. Isn't it funny how different people act when they're in love -now, there's always the old symptom of not being able to eat . . . but for some reason that's not practiced as much nowadays . . . probably because there's too good food in' the cafeteria (pd. adv). But no kidding, . it really does strange things to you' for instance Hugh gets so embarrassed . . .! And Lottie just stares off into space. Ah me! Love the unpredictable . .'. unquote. . . .

Watch for More News The Journalism class is planning to publish a magazine on a par with "Mercury," "Coronet," "Reader's Digest," "Esquire," and "Scribners." It will include the best features of these magazines without the bad features. All in all it will be patterned after the "Mercury," but only in contents. The quality of the magazine will further extend and substantiate the reputation of Weber's publications as typified by "Scri-bulus" and the "Signpost." The Journalism students are writing the features and the general organization is being planned by Mr. Nilsson, journalism instructor. The editor will be chosen out of the Journalism class. Plans so far indicate the magazine will come out the spring quarter and will be sold for a nominal fee. "The highest literary standards of contemporary literature are to be strived for," said Mr. Nilsson. Iota Tau Kappa Pledges Entertain East met . West at Iota Tau Kappa's Chinese party December 30.

Tim Jail (Continued from Page 1) a bomb exploded A frenzied pandemonium tore loose. Word flew from lip to lip. Somewhere in that surging crowd was some half-crazed fanatic who had willfully murdered ten people, injured forty more. But who was he? Did any one know? A few witnesses spoke up. They had seen a nondescript labor leader named Tom Mooney hurl the bomb.' That was all. Entirely on circumstantial evidence, the jury found Tom Mooney guilty. Should he hang? No. Instead he was wrenched from his wife and family and sentenced to spend a dreary, dismal life in a grim prison cell. Then began a long arduous fight for a reprieve. For twen ty-two years he appealed, pleaded, begged. Fugitive victory was followed by blackness and despair.' But he had fortitude and patience as durable as cowhide and as strong as flint. Last Friday he walked from his San Quentin prison cell never to return again. Today he is a free man. Guilty or innocent? Who can say? Who can say what he might have become, had those monotonous prison years been obliterated? A mighty political giant, a veritable colossus championing causes of right and liberty? Or some obscure little labor radical buried under mediocrity? Perhaps he is now only a firebrand smouldering. Perhaps at some opportune moment he will again flare into life. Perhaps by some ironic twist of fate he will yet compensate for those twenty-two years. Who can unravel such mysteries of time?

Although he made no dogmatic assertions, he implied in his lecture that in spite of the. assets a dictatorship may have, it is organized on shaky foundations and may totter and collapse at any moment. Factors Named Three Important He named three puissant factors which might contribute to the downfall of the dictatorship: the fact that European youth is not militarized, the striving of European youth for emotional democracy, and the undermining drive of relentless economic forces. "The great personal danger" threatening the dictators, he also mentioned as a serious menace to their stability. His most idealistic hope for the impermanence of the dictatorship lay in the fact that youth is no longer being molded and swayed by ruthless autocratic forces, inefficiency, and propaganda.American People Should Feel Gratitude At the end of his speech he reminded the audience that the American people should be thankful that they live in a democracy. j EVERSHARP PARKER I I WATERMAN !

On Monday afternoon Kathryn Pardoe from the B. Y. U. will speak on "Speech, Voice, and the Art of Conversation."
