With hopes still shining in their eyes, representatives of the Dixie college student body seemed to think that future squabbles over the axe will at least be lessened after meeting with BAC representatives at Cedar City and drawing up plans for a new battle axe pact. Not only were they radiant over the agreement concerning the pact, but BAC, showing a good bit of fellowship on their part, volunteered to build Dixie a showcase for the axe like the one they are building for themselves. Dixie accepted. Student body president Loraine Woodbury, Joyce Bithell, Stan Willard Stratton represented Jones, D. J. Worthen, and Dixie at the axe meeting at Cedar. Through their efforts and the efforts of the BAC representatives, articles for the pact were drawn up. These articles, under the title, The Battle Axe Pact, were brought about for the purpose of answering questions which might come up through any controversy as to who is to possess the axe and when.

The purpose of their visit will be to inspect the college so as to make budget recommendations for the next biennium. Saturday, Apr. 5, is the new date set by the Merchant of cast.' Its definite this Venice the entire State Legislature will pay the Dixie college a visit on Saturday, February 22, time. The cast, coming here under an earlier contract, was marooned in a Texas snowstorm and was unable to complete that engagement. A new date has been difficult to set, due to the other programs already planned. Pres. Snow has announced School Saturday that on that that they might visit will be held so while classes are being held. The Legislature members will be honored with a dinner and a dance. Also a special assembly will be held in their honor. To Be Held Feb. 13 The annual Dixie college band concert is to be held Thursday, Feb. 13, at 8p.m. in the college auditorium. The program is included in the lyceum course. Mr. Bleak, director of the band, states that the band this year is nearly double in size over that of last year and that it is much larger than the bands here at Dixie during the war years. Many of the new members, he says, are vets who were enrolled in the organization before they went into the service, while others are students who are here at Dixie for the first time. Most of the members are more mature, Mr. Bleak continues, and have had more experience in band work than the students who made up the band of the war years. As a result the band is a more efficient organization. The band concert program will consist of a well balanced variety of concert music, such as overtures, also descriptive numbers and humorous selections. These will be interspersed with solos and small group numbers. The band concert has always been one of the outstanding programs of the year, and this year promises to be no exception to the rule. RALPH HAFEN TELLS OF EXPERIENCES WHILE IN COLOMBIA At the meeting of the Spanish club on Jan. 27, Ralph Hafen, a student of elementary Spanish, gave an illustrated talk concerning his experiences while on a United States military mission to Colombia. He used slides that he made while he was on that mission. Ralph was one of the instructors sent by the army to instruct the Colombia Air Force. Among his pictures were some of the walled city of Cartagena. Ralphs talk depicted very well how the wall was built and included an accurate description of it.
