generally center of a community” Thanks or Silence? We sat back triumphantly after such an intellectual answer expecting thanks or satisfied silence But no "Oh sure sure” he waved it way "But what will it mean as to actual changes in policy or curricula?” That last one stumped us and spoiled our whole afternoon in the measure A new Utah State catalog loomed up big and thick on the desk and there was nothing to do but go to its 275 pages to find what changes if any “na” tional emergency” aid” or "good neighbor policy” had wrought in Utah State’s school schedule Biggest change for 1941-4- 2 turns out to be the innovation of a complete new curriculum in the tield of aeronautics leading to a bachelor of science degree Thirty new courses there will turn out skilled aircraft and engine mechanics and aircraft technicians This era’s awareness of the air is reflected also in four courses to be given this year in the civilian pilot training ground school as well as a class starting out aeronautical and machine drawing at Utah State Laten America Kates Latin American comes in for a big share of courses inaugurated this year in the arts field with three departments contributing to Cordell request for South American understanding 1941-4- 2 at Utah State will see inaugurated three more courses in Spanish a new Hispanic-America- n history study and polictical science classes in Latin American government and Greece public administration recently conquered “cradle of democracy” will be paid further deference in a new course in Greek Coed history Bluebird-sundae-poun- "all-out- knee-lengt- tough-soundi- THAT or bowl SCHOOL biennium “What do you suppose this new meeting of the 1940-4- 1 Registrar William H Bell issued on June 27 His appointment hints to registrants today in listing international era we’re entering to the 12 person trustee board the complete procedure to be used will mean to the classroom at cool-leg- e came on April 1 1925 from former Governor George H Dern Ten years later he was chosen president upon the death of Anthony W Ivins Succeeding Mr Champ as president of the college trustees is C G Adney prominent Utah agriculturist from Corinne Appointed to the board by Governor Dern during the same year as his predecessor Mr Adney has served as of the executive committee since that date Mural Head Leaves Another prominent Aggie who will be absent from the campus during the 1941-4- 2 school term will be Professor H B “Hy" inaugurator and director of the largest student activity on the campus intramurals It was nine years ago this fall that “Hy” as he is known by his 2500 friends in intramurals established the first program in place of the class series plan During that nine years he has watched from his tiny office in the Smart gym the near phenomenal growth of intramurals from the “National emergency" has spelled change to the in- less than 100 participants in 1932 dividual lives of millions of Americans not only in their to the more than 2000 who took work but also in their attitudes which is as it should be part in competition the past year The thing that makes the army capable of fighting on is "Hy” inaugurated during those still at the core the enthusiasm the spirit the morale of years the annual open house the people as the case of Great Britain has notably proved participated in last winter by more than 500 youths representing 30 And our army must win league teams Also established But in the title of the situation “national emerg- during his term as mural director veij sign-poa there’s reason why the effort to meet it was the division of teams accordency” should not be the only effort of the day For the nature ing to strength and membership of “emergency” is not permanent And in this particular into the fraternity department and diaft 1941 4 Strictly Green On The Bandwagon USAC Authorized August 22 1918 Student subscription from fee Mail subscription rate $100 per year Editor In Chief Business Manager AUGUST-1- dum-bunn- Suck in a deep delicious breath that graduation confidence it may be a long while before you breath one akin to it again College knocks it out of you like a tall from a trapeze but if you make the grade puts back something which will stand up rocky and solid for a good while When you get ori the campus don't be too impressed by these Mister Bigs swathed in blue and white sweaters most of ’em have ineligibility lurking like a phantom in the backs of their minds Hey take off that high school pin! Tuck it and the sweet memories that go with it away in the trunk back home We don't wear such up here it's plain Speaking of pins don’t get confused this year or next about all this talk of hanging pins on gals take the advice ot a grandmother at the game — “If anything’s hanging they can pin it themselves” Probably a fraternity can help but not enough to you plenty make up tor too much sacrince of other items ot an education or too much of a summer's savings either Another - thing take your time choosing THE frat The campus is dotty with guys still trying to talk themselves into believing they are with the right bunch ot boys but knowing they’d rather be sitting at a rival hearthstone And when you pledge the one you’ve ’s sake pointed at for keeyour head The easiest place to make a campus fool of yourself is in a of uncol-legia- te frat Keep an open mind on the subject of your major for a while you don’t want to be a doctor just because a guy you know got a long way in medicine or because a hospital is a nice place to work Then once you get your major chosen start driving in major subjects not on canyon road it pays off On what to wear we’re no fashion experts but sports suits tweeds sports coats or sweaters are popular college appareL Though some sports shirts are good informal items of a wardrobe regulation shirts with perhaps a Kent collar or two and maybe a couple of bow ties with an assortment of coarse weave ties are always good for campus wear you won’t need a tux of your own tor a while yet if you’re on the diplomatic side not for a good long while if you can’t afford it While grades are horribly horribly important to a successtul college career an activity or two along the line of your main interests will probably be as beneficial as enjoyable By the way fellas if these things surveys are saying are so it may be that Joe Q College at Utah State will finally get a break on the social side for as long as we can remember there have been about twice as many boys as girls at Utah State In fact registration figures for last year indicated that there were two and boys to every girl and besides you know how some of those girls are Well now along comes a national emergency and an expected decrease in the ingle population of American colleges So Utah State’s 2 to 1 male to fem ratio would be materially decreased Oh happy line 'em up and take
