""JSM" ON PARADE She wears a beige tweed suit with a frilly blue blouse. Her gloves are blue with open fingers, revealing beautifully manicured, delicate pink nails. In one hand she carries a fashionable handbag in the new toast shade. The open-toe, high-heel slippers complement the bag. Her hat is the type that women envy, men admire, and children laugh at. He wears a pin-striped grey suit, with white shirt and a striking blue tie. His pocket handkerchief corresponds with his tie in color. At his lapel there is a daffodil. On his feet he wears two-toned grey and white shoes with pointed toes and masculine lines. His hat is grey, with down-turned brim. They are not America's best dressed man and woman. Rather, they are typical Americans, two of the thousands who join in the Easter parade every year. One of the most sacred religious holidays has become a commercial excuse. Easter has been outweighed by the fantasy of an Easter bunny and people vying to outdress their neighbors. We do not wish to advocate that the modern conception of Easter be obliterated in its entirety. Spring is an appropriate time to buy new apparel, and Easter is as good a day as any to display them. But sometime in the chaos of the day, let us take a few moments to reflect upon the real meaning of Easter. Upon that day Christ walked again. OPEN LETTER TO TEACHERS Dear Profs: And when we looked around there was a knife in our backs. For we are some of the students who studied last quarter. But you did not notice. Result: C C B D C. And when we turned around, there was a triumphant smirk on our faces. For we are some of the students who bluff. You heard us. Result: A B A A A. And when we looked around, our faces were puffy, touched with purple. For we are the few who did not study and got what we deserved. We took a stab at apple-polishing here and there. The shine didn't take. Result: C C D B C. And we received a pat on the back. For we belong to that rare group who burn the midnight oil and got just recognition. Result: A A A A A. Thank you. Your students.

Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, and Daladier are the leading warlords, and each of them is holding his ground remarkably well. No casualties have been reported. Instead of employing bullets for ammunition the belligerents are using adjectives and verbs. Never in the history of Europe has there been a more loquacious period than we are witnessing at the present time. The head of every government has hit the sawdust trail. Each one is making speeches either to intimidate or else to conciliate his opponents. Fireworks Mussolini ignited the fireworks last Sunday by making a vociferous speech stating that Italy refuses to remain "couped up" in the Mediterranean sea, and that Italy should have several pieces of territory, namely Tunisia and Jibouti. On Monday Daladier, Premier of France, replied with a conciliatory speech for peace, but he added that France will not cede one inch of territory without fighting. On Wednesday Chamberlain appeared before the House of Commons and crisply stated that something must be done to stop Hitler from running amuck in Central Europe. Hitler Delivered On Saturday Hitler delivered before the Reichstag a flamboyant speech to Great Britain declaring that Germany is ready to test her strength against any nation. Now Chamberlain has started the new week out with another round of speeches by pledging British aid to all anti-Nazi powers. The battle of words rages on. To intimidate the opposing country by making fiery speeches, may be good statesmanship, but it does not have a good psychological effect upon the world as a whole. Every nation has got the litters. Governments are rushing rearmament preparations. Morning and evening newspapers are read with apprehension. We are all wondering what will take place next. Throw Key Away On thing is certain. The key to peace rests in the hands of two men: Hitler and Mussolini. From the appearance of recent events I believe that both of those gentlemen have thrown the key away. Mussolini declared : "We must arm. The watchword is this: More cannons, more ships, more airplanes, at whatever cost, with whatever means even if it should mean wiping Jaysee Will Give Oratory Cup The Junior Chamber of Commerce will make its annual cup award to the best orator in Weber college on April 14. Speakers who are interested in this contest should see Mr. Allred immediately. The subject will be on some phase of Americanism.

Daines, a guest of the Pre-medics club and speaker at last Friday's assembly, painted a stern picture for any young college student entertaining the idea of becoming a doctor. "Success or failure hinges on the individual's love for his work," said Dr. Daines. "In the medical field there is room for only a select few; and of the scores preparing to become doctors, only a few are admitted to the schools of medicine. The University of Utah last year accepted 30 out of 155 applications. The rest were turned away, their efforts wasted. Again there are more elimination when the apparently successful student goes to the doors of hospitals and wants to become an interne." "Are you sure you want to become a doctor?" Dr. Daines summarized. Chemistry Debunked Something is rotten in Denmark!No doubt if Shakespeare were alive today he would think of a much worse epithet than he did those many years ago. But then he'd have had more of an incentive if he had been in the building last Monday. To the innocent bystander, inhabiting the higher regions of the building, the ah odors that waft up from the chem lab are sufficient evidence to prove that packing houses indeed have their virtues. A prominent student of Weber is quoted as having remarked that the halls smelled like someone had cleverly tied a burning collar around Ray Pearson's lily-white neck. Wishing to be much more emphatic, one professor said that it smelled as though nothing less than a couple of skunks with their tails tied together had been flung over a clothesline and left there, begorra! out all that is called civilized life. One shout has come down on the waves of centuries. Woe to the weak." His words clearly epitomized the sentiments of the Rome-Berlin Axis. Such threats coming from any nation are bound to cause great concern. Peace-loving nations, however, have one consolation. As long as the dictators continue in the battle of words, as long as they continue to make long and windy speeches, there is no danger of immediate war. A man talks loudest when he is bluffing. Tmt JaiU (Continued from Page 1) attire. Clothing establishments rose and have been flourishing ever since. People dressed in undreamed of splendor and covered their ugliness. The lowly savage had no need of clothing. His days were filled with exercise and bodily activity. When he grew old and aged he retained his beauty. Only adverse weather could induce him to put on dress. In this day, people stop exercising themselves upon leaving high school. They grow uglier and uglier. Belts, corsets, and girdles are resorted to. Ill health follows rapidly. The final result is a stumping baggage, worse and worse as time goes on. Time fails.

The students rattle me the sight of books rattles me the schoolrooms rattle me everything rattles me. I walked hesitatingly across the threshold of the Weber gym. eyeing everyone nervously. I had an idea that a person about to register for the first time in a strange school, should consult the registrar. I walked hesitatingly up to the first window I came to. "Can I see the registrar?" I said, and added with a catch in my voice, "alone." "Certainly," said the girl at the window, and went to get her. The registrar was a calm, soothing woman. She had a look in her eye that rattled me. "Are you the registrar?" I said I had no reason to doubt it. "Yes," she said. "Can I see you," I asked, "alone?" She looked at me alarmed. She must have felt that I had a very important secret to reveal."Come in here," she said, and led the way into another room. I clutched my $33.50 in my pocket. She shut the door quietly behind me. "No one will hear us in here," she said. I sat down facing her I had no voice to speak. She rattled me. "You are a student, I presume?" she questioned me. "Y-yes," I managed to answer after a moment's hesitation, "I'd like to be. That's what I I came to see you about." The registrar looked relieved, "And you want to register?" "Yes," I was still a bit hesitant."What course do you wish to take?" she asked. "A straight one," I answered. She figured out a course for me and I filled out so many pages in the little book she gave me that my hand had gone to sleep when I finished. I pulled the precious $33.50 from my pocket and thrust it in front of her. "Mr. Jones," she said to a gentleman in the next room, "this young man has just registered and wishes to pay his tuition. He comes from Weber high." I went around to the treasurer's window and poked the roll of money at Mr. Jones with a quick and convulsive movement. My face was ghastly pale. "Here," I said, "register it." The tone of my voice seemed to mean, "Hurry and take it, before I change my mind." He took the money and put it somewhere that I could not see. He gave me a yellow slip of paper with some figures written on it, totaling $33.50, then turned away leaving me standing there staring at the paper in my hand. "Did you register it?" I asked (Continued on Page 4) "Positive" is being wrong in a loud voice. GREENWELL'S SHOES 2486 Washington Blvd. OGDEN, UTAH JAMES STEWART |
