Life went to press this week for the first time m 'Weekend' For nearly half the life span of the USAC Prof H Frankly- we don't know how it 1947-4- 8 - happened Monday night it was learned that Editor Larson who before school started had indicated he Lyn was resigning: the position would under a provision of the Utah be forced to edit Student Life for two more weeks Larson was recalcitrant He has a e jpb and had a right to be stubborn The reason Larson has to edit the paper is that the opening of Student Life editorship must be fully advertised to the student body for at least a week (Of course two weeks time has already been wasted) Then there’s a deadline date then the publications council meets (By that time it 11 be almost midterm but editors' apparently grow on trees after all) “Anyone can edit Student Life” Wednesday afternoon it was found that no editorials had been written for Student Life because- no one on the disjointed staff knew who was supposed to write the editorials No reflections on Ye Ed— he has a football tate-Constitutio- n - full-tmi- - - program to publish but according to the constitution and the publications council (Larson is to $20000 fine and 20 years at Leavenworth if hesubject decides he wants to take a job and make some money after seven years of college) Next week if you stroll into the main hall at 11 look for Student Life and find no Student Life talk to the There are a few people around publications council school who know of at least 75 people “who’re dying to be editor of Student Life” Maybe one ofjust those 75 can round up the other

Discovered By Research By Harry LBonneII and Ollie E McCulloch ‘'It all started one evening when I was talking’ to myself a bad habit to which I am addicted lately because of an acute shortage of intellectual conversationalists residing in my den I had asked myself: “I wonder how - - ' the' ‘college - ‘ originate?” yell’ and - When I received no reply I become so-- curious that I vowed to find the solution So I queried my learned friends and acquaintances wlio proved to be as baffled by its deriva- -' tion as I was I then wrote several national dignitaries such as my congressman Robert Ripley of ‘‘Believe It Or Not” fame the editor of Webster’s Collegiate dictionary and a guy named Steve who racks balls at a Dows Iowa pool parlor— all without results I was content to let it go at that but I soon began to receive La! deluge of mail from thousands of Americans urging me pleading with me begging me “to keep working” Thus began my most- extensive researen program my discoveries follow: "It began in the 1800’s in the small Indian village of - On - Ri r Utah which the “Great White Father’’ shortened to Ray Utah Well it seems that one warm day in September the local tomahawk tea mwas playing host to the Cheyenne Wyoming tribe in a lethal-gamof “last brave with - - Sun-Ray-Shi- hair on’ wins” Note:' Contrary to popular belief' Chejpnfie Wyoming was not named after an

Then one day Pierre’s lodge brothers asked him where he was going and he replied: “I am going down to chew Anne” four-gaite- er Reuben Reynolds has devoted his interests and abilities to the Aggie art department Now "he is being cast aside while an unknown man is appointed to replace CJalvin Fletcher as head of the art department Prof Reynolds’ reputation has been inducement for numerous students majoring in art to come here for in- struction The fact that the Centennial committee appointed him chairman of the art committee of the arts division certifies his abilities the faith the public has in sub-divisi- on him arid is recognition of his outstanding work Following the Centennial appointment Prof Reynolds did not rest on his laurels but produced an outstanding art exhibit for the Centennial exposition and did further work which prompted the chairman of the arts division to write a special commendation to Pres Harris In 1923 Prof Reynolds graduated from the Chicago Art Institute an institution that was then as now d as tops in its field As none of the better colleges were giving degrees in art at that time Reynolds selected the CAI for training and there received a certificate of re’ebg-nize- completion During his teaching career he has had two sabbatical leaves which have been spent in Paris France furthering his knowledge and giving him additional invaluable experience During his stay in France he studied photog- raphy Prof Reynolds is one of very few artists had who Have shows in both painting and photographic His art is displayed in numerous public institutions throughout the state and is treasured in many private one-ma- n work -- collections He has national recognition as a lecturer serving a3 speaker at the National convention of American Photographic association in 1939 and other posts since This is the man who is now being shoed into corner while an unknown man is imported given a full professorship and made head of the art department In that way officials of our college are showing their appreciation of an outstanding man who has given 25 years of unstinting service to the institution Officials say the reason Reynolds can’t be made h£&l of the department is that he has no degree — completely disregarding the fact that he does hold a certificate from the top art school in the country Another excuse offered is that the officials want broaden the department when by this one maneuver ’they destroy faith in the art department while misusing imd abusing the one man with the possibilities of making ’the — NAP

Who Kay?” but the bystander a deaf mute merely smiled back and nodded his headdress In the meantime? the visiting Indians who were very cordial yes and even friendly began a courtsey cheer for their gallant hosts However at that time there was no “Y” in the Shew-Ann- e alphabet so the visiting coach asked Injun Joe if he could help them out Injun Joe' was an “English major” from Oklahoma A & M so he just quoted the old vowel rule “sometimes 'Y and W’ ’ which decided the visitors on using “W’S” for "Y’s” in their yell The resulting cheer therefore sounded like this: Kaw lwim! Kaw team !
