Politicians will turn eager eyes to positions madevacant by national defense as nominations are inorder at the coming student body meeting on Fri-day, January 31.

The coveted post of Vice-President of the Associated Stu-dent Body, made vacant by the resignation of Bill Pettinger,who is called into military service, will be the focal pointof the coming campaign.

Pettinger announced his relinquishment of the office ina letter to A.S.S.C. President Mongrain, in which he said:"Inasmuch as Iwill soon be inducted into the armed forcesof our country,Ifind that at this time Imust resign fromthe office of vice-president of the Association. This Idowith great reluctance and with sincere thanks to the Asso-ciation members for the faith they had put in me."

Though no one has officially declared any intention to runfor this office, the following are thought by the SPECTA-TOR as being probable candidates:

Tom Anderson, now president of the senior class andalso prexy of Alpha Sigma Nu, local chapter of the nationalJesuit scholastic honorary, has been put forward by friendsas the man for the job. Anderson is also a Knight.

Bill Bates, who held this office in 1939 and who resignedbecause of ill health, has also been regarded as a contenderfor the office. Bates is at present head of the publicityboard and vice-prexy of the Junior class, as well as co-chairman of the Homecoming Dance.

Tony Buhr, president of the Junior class, may also enter(Continued on Page 3)

Board Conference

"The Spectator cannot con-tinue publication even for an-other week unless the presentstaff isaugmented by new re-porters, typists, and headlinewriters," said Bob LaLanne,Editor of The Spectator, to-day.

The editor explained that\last quarter's competent staffwas seriously depletedby thefailure of members to enroll|for the winter quarter. HeIrevealed further that the twoeditions of this quarter havebeen written by only four orfive people who consented towork late into the night topreserve the paper for onemore week.

"The situation," he added,"is one that must be remediedat once, since no college iscomplete without a vital or-gan of student expression."

The editor showed that fi-nances of the paper were se-cure, and that the setback ofthe Spectator will come onlyibecause there will be no <un-to write copy. Heurged thatanyone wanting to helpapplyat the Spectator' office beforenoGii Monday, the day whenfinal decision on whether ornot publication will continueis to be made.

In a census of the enroll-ment in institutions of higherlearningin the State of Wash-ington for the Fall tearm of1941,Seattle Collegehas beendetermined the third largestschool in the State, secondonly to the State Universityof Washington and Washing-ton State College in Pullman.The University has an enroll-ment of 9,586 with a loss ofabout ten percent from lastyear. Washington State Col-legehas enrolled 3,780, a lossiof more than 300 from lastyear.

This year Seattle Collegehas an enrollment of 1480, anincrease of more than 60 percent over last year's enroll-ment. These statistics showjthe continuous and rapidgrowth of the College.

The next seven schools inorder of their size are Gon.zaga University,1,236; East-ern Washington College ofEducation, 654; College ofPuget Sound, 623; WallaWalla College, 601; WhitmanCollege, 583; Central Wash-ington College of Education,578; Western WashingtonCollege of Education,566.

The total enrollment of the25 Colleges and Universitiesin the State is 21,515, a dropfrom 23,434 in the previousyear.

Civic AuditoriumFor the first time a Seat-

tle College Homecoming[ dance will be held in the gi-

gantic ballroom of the CivicAuditorium. Co-Chairmen J.William BatesandMaryEllenPetrich closed business con-tracts with Manager Coyle ofthe Auditorium late thisweek.

, In release to the press Mr.Bates said, "I would like tocommend the co-chairmen of \the various committees andwithout singling out any par-ticular committee or chair-man, Ido feel that due tothe type of work involvedcertain chairmen should begiven notice."

Pre-dance work on the partof the Decorations committee,chairmaned by Madeline Pa-quin and Mary Ellen Curridhas been most gratifying to|Miss Petrich and myself,"Bates continued "Other com-mittees to which we are mostgrateful include the Prizecommittee headed by HelenBrown, Special Guests com-mittee under the direction ofEileen Mallon and RoscoeBalch,and the Speakers com-mittee chairmaned by StanConroy and EdKohls."

"Committees not mention-ed by their very nature, havenot yet begun to function,"said Bates." My co-chairmanand I,however, are extreme-ly confident that they will 'carry out their work as plan-ned." i

Bands ConsideredAs the Spectator goes to

press Lee Clark and Red !Hardman, co-chairmen of theOrchestra committee are au- .ditioning one of the finestbands in the Pacific North-west as a possibility for theHomecoming engagement.

HELP!!Anyone interested in in-

suring the future publica-tion of the Spectator isurged to attend a specialmeeting in Room118 of thenew Liberal Arts Building(today) at noon.

The Spectator does notdemand experience as arequisite to attend thismeeting, nor does it banunderclassmen. It is pri-marily a meeting to dis-cover a solution to thegrave problem confrontingthe editorial staff of thepaper.

The Faculty urges allloyal S. C. students to at-tend this session and offertheir help.

>I Tossing the AdvisoryBoaid into a turmoil,twd lob-

, hyists clashed at the special, January 9 meeting of the; board when the question was, presented to merge the Win-

ter Informal with the Home-jcoming Dance. After the ar-1

guments cuhninated with the'

combination of the Winter!Informal and Homecoming,|Mary Ellen Petrich and J.jWilliam Bates were approvedas co-chairmen for theHome- jcoming affair.

DebatesSplitting the Advisory'

Board into two factions, Bill!Bates and Bill Berridge de-ibated almost steadily in thehour-long meeting. Hurlingthe point that it was unfair!to students to combine the twodances,Bill Berridge, head ofthose opposing the swallow-ing of Homecoming by theWinter Informal,pleadedwiththe Advisory Board to let the

jstudents of the association de-Icide this move. To Berridge^sview, Advisory Board mem-bers pointed out that theyvoiced the students' wishes as

Irepresentatives of studentclasses.

Although exhorted by theAdvisory Board to make theWinter Informal a small af- jfair, so as to insure the suc-cess of Homecoming as thegreatest dance of the year,Bill Bates refused. His re-fusal caused the incorporationof the two dances. Bates con-tended that he andhisco-part-ner, Miss Petrich, could notmake it a small dance. TheAdvisory Board then resolvedthat the Winter Informalmerge with Homecoming.

The DanceRemembering that in the

past Homecoming has alwaysbeen THE dance, studentsnoted that the Winter Infor-mal invariably failed finan-cially. Commenting on the

platter chatter

By ED CRAIGI The book slammed shut resoundingly, shaking

hands fell to its cover, and a youthful, broad-templcMl head droppeddespondently onto the clench-"ed fists. A deep sigh rustled the papers before him.

■ Bill sat there for a few minutes, not moving,. hardly breathing. He looked up slowly, staringtransfixedly out of the curtained window. A re-flected and somewhat dimmed ray of sun bathedweakly the wrinkled forehead.

"Life!" He was silent a few moments, then con-tinued speaking as if talking to someone whom he" knew couldn't answer, "I wonder if anyone has

" figured it out; Idoubt it. You're born; you racei through an age of infancy, commanding elders with

I tears; outgrow the knee pants; lick every kid inthe block, and then start combing your hair and

1 washing your face. From grade school you go to' high school and dad's car; the girl with the blue'hair ribbon, then the one with the pretty red hair;

, Graduation night, a new world, responsibility onyoung shoulders mid that girl with the big brown

, eyes that you can't quite forget. With fall comescollege and work, real work. You're writing steadily'to that girl at home; you can't figure out why

1 you can't forget her. Then there* Mother and Dad■ . . . gosh home was swell! With all of this, the, formation of a future slowly takes place. You re-. alize it; you start to plan for it ...But suddenly,

the world goes mad—

WAR! You are then in a1 daze . . . the duty to one's country, the girl at1 home, the folks, your future... you stop thinking! about it; every letter means more now; you don'ti get home very often. And then, just when you're

! happily forgetting everything but that which reallymatters, your mailbox seems to lose its attractionfor everybody but you. Again reality creeps in...'we're at war!' Again that daze; it's thicker now... you can't think."

Footsteps on the stairway silenced Bill's verbal, thought. He leaped from the chair and dashed to

the door, holding his ear close to its panels. "Yes,it was Ted, good old Ted. Iwonder if he has a

1 letter for me." He reached for the knob, startedto turn it, then jerked his hand away. "No,Ican'tdo that, he'd think me crazy,I'll wait until he puts

I it in my box."The footsteps were louder now, he was nearing

the top of the stairs. "Good old Ted, right on time.There,' he's at the top now,he's stopping for Dick'sbox; his shoes are squeaking today, must be a newpair. There, he's at Mr. Pentley's

—he must be

talking to Ted, why doesn't he hurry up, one morebox, then mine."

A cold perspiration glittered on Bill's forehead,his foot tapped nervously on the carpet. "Whatcould they be doing,

—ah, there he comes, hey, he

! passed up Jack's box, Iwonder if he'll pass mine."The footsteps were in front of the door now,

they hesitated, then continued on down the hall.The door flew open with a bang and Bill dashed

into the hall, his hand reaching into the box, "Yes,it's there, a letter." He almost dropped it before

" stepping back into the light. A long gapping silencefollowed as the numbed lips read, "Ready Fit Cloth-ing Co." The envelope fluttered to the floor.

An evening breeze was blowing now, it wasrather soothing, almost enlightening. Bill walkedslowly across the street towards the school library.

"Maybe a little study will— "

but he stopped herei>s a small boy ran up, "Paper mister?" Bill handedthe boy a nickel and stepped towards the streetlight to see the headlines. He stopped, read thelarge red letters over sveral times, then glancedupwards at the fog-dimmed stars. Slowly he turnedand with an expression of grim decision upon hisface, walked mechanically towards town and hisdestiny In a new role of life.

By Bill Mull it

Ecstacy painted by WalterWinchell, would give theworld a Heaven on earth.Winchell is the greatest artistof all time (look at the glori-ous colors and tone of hiswritings . . . and the yellowsheets he so skillfully putsout). Noteworthy in particu-lar was his expose of leadingAmerican citizens who triedto avert the U. S. from war.He showed us that there wasa group opposed to the wartrend of the nation. Today,Winchell is still exposing un-American activity. Wheneveranyone in Congress opens hismouth in not too NYEce lan-guage, in opposition to Wal-ter's views, the HonorableMr. Winchell always quietlywhispers, over the air to hiscozy group of a few millionlisteners and the F. B. L, theoppressive news. Praise toWalter Winchell the championof free speech and protectorof the minority rights.* * *

Voters of Seattle College,vote!!! The influx of defenseworkers into the PacificNorthwest from other sectionsof the nation puts inexper-ienced people at the polls. Wecan't let these trailer refugeesrun our city, especially sincethese peoplehave no intentionof staying in the town afterthe work has ceased. Thefirst thing for all eligible vot-ers to do is to pick the candi-date who vows to cleanup thecity. Thenext act for the eli-gible voter is to make sure hiscandidate is sincere. How hecan do this inSeattleIhaven'tthe remotest idea.* * *

Fire traps in the city of Se-attle should be prohibited bythe city ordinances. Seattleshould give all the protectionpossible to these "beat theJap" workers. The cheaphouses that are continuallygoing up are dangerous tohealth and life. Althoughthere is a need for low costhousing, there still is a needfor healthy strong Americans.It can't be said that Iam to-tally against these newly con-structed homes.

Ours Is HighRecently we heard the remark out-

side of Seattle College that the dropin registration and the war must cer-tainly have caused a laxity in schoolspirit at our institution.

The Spectator hastens to correctanyone who may also have drawn suchconclusions. Since the beginning ofthis the Winter Quarter more activitieshave been scheduled than have everbeen planned in any previous WinterQuarter in the fifty-year history of ourcollege. Further,new classeshave beenadded to the courses heretofore taught.

In the case of more activities wsfind that the Tolo tomorrow night willexceed in standards and scope the

Idance of last year, while the plans forHomecoming aird the HomecomingBall are so elaborate that delegationsfrom neighboring cities are alreadymaking arrangements to attend thecelebration. Without going any fur-ther it should be quite obvious thatthere can be no lack of spirit in thesocial line at Seattle College.

It is even more apparent from thescholastic standpoint that spirit ishigh. A poll taken among facultymembers shows that the degree ofclassroom and outside work on the partof students has increased rather thandecreased over the last quarter.

However, this paper cannot guaran-tee anyone that the high spirit nowprevalent will continue throughout theyear. The students of Seattle Collegeare the only ones who can guaranteethat and they only by their actionsfrom now till the close of the schoolyear.

like informals?

Germany claims that a certain percentageof the people living within her borders aremembers of the "Nordic super-race." Stat-istical statements which evidently slippedbythe Ministry of Propaganda concerning thehealth status of these people are concreteevidence that no "super-race"exists in Ger-many.

The general mortality rate, reports Dr.|Martin Gumpert, German physician and au-thor, has noticeably risen under Hitler'si"health-giving" Nazi rule. 80,000 more per-sons die annually in Nazi Germany than inold Germany. The number of cases of chil-dren's infectious diseases, such as diphtheriaand scarlet fever, has almost doubled thenumber of cases in1933. Rickets, a vitamin-deficiency disease, has greatly increased inGermany, while it is disappearing in othercountries.

Of special interest at the present time arefacts regarding the health of the Germansoldier. In1938 only 55 per cent of the mencalled into service were acceptable. Twoiyears previous to this, the figure was 75per cent.

To learn that tuberculosis is on the in-crease in Germany is,of course, not surpris-ing. It is interesting to note how tuber-«ulars are cared for. A Nazi documentstates: "The basic principles for the totalit-arian combating of tuberculosis are main-taining the workingcapacity of the tubercu-lar." In keeping with these principles,anti-social tuberculars are worked very hard,be-cause they must be "ruthlessly eliminated."

What are the reasons behind this appal-ling state of affairs? Why are the Germanpeople undernourished,and why have theirhealth standards fallen? The decrease inthe consumption of meat, fats, eggs, andpo-tatoes, lowered food quality, falsification offood values,the use of cheap substitutes, thelack of fresh vegetables— all these havetaken their toll on the people's health. Thefree distribution of inferior meat and the in-creased use of alcohol and highly alcoholicbeer have lowered health standards. Thewidespreademployment of children and theirparticipation in exhausting military work,the industrial labor of women, the legalizedactivities of quacks and nature healers—these factors and many others are contrib-uting to the decaying health of the Ger-man people.

notes here and there:

"Delight— top-gallant delight— is to himwho acknowledges no law or lord but theLord his God, andis only a patriot to heav-en."—(Moby Dick.)

Today the very air is charged with patriot-ism. Everyone from the boot-black to theexecutive constantly hears appeals to buyDefense Bonds, to help the Red Cross, toaid the men in theservice. Itis felt inextrataxes. Schools, clubs, movies, and radiosound a patriotic note from morning tillnight.

In America the call for patriotism restssolidly upon the Constitution and the Bill ofRights. Of course, America has not alwaysbeen well treated by its children. Men haverifled the public coffers. Some have heldgiant granaries of wheat inonesection whileAmericans were hungry in another. Rail-road interests have clutched vast tracts ofland that belonged to thecommon man.Law-yers have tortured the statutes to make cor-porationsricher,andpoormenpoorer.Gang-sters have hushed the police and the courtsand every war has seen ruthless profiteers.There has been much to make the heartsick....But the promise is still there. Some day,somehow, we'll get our affairs in order, andall will be well.

We (it may be anyone inmodern warfare)who may face death in the war, will needmore than faith in the Constitution, solidas it is; we'll need more than faith in theAmerican earth and the American people.

Our faith in the goodness of human in-stitutions may be badly shattered before thefinish. We must have a faith in God to en-able us to sacrifice comfort, wealth, or life;faith that though we may fall He'll bringpeaceout of chaos; faith that He'llgivementhe wisdom to use the peace rightly. Wemust be patriots to heaven or fail utterly.

-^JIM O'BRIEN, '44.

1 After his rendition of "Basic Boogie onthe spotlight band program last week, wewish to recommend Count Basic as the topswing band of the land. Believe us, no onehas ever played such hard, fast, fine andsolid music for a long, long time!

Going through stacks of past favorites, weran across Benny Goodman's classic, "BobWhite" backed by "Minnie the Moocher'sWedding Day." Benny recorded these withhis old band featuring Gene Krupa on drumsand Jess Stacey on the piano. Both sidesare really fine.

As to Ted Mitchell's all-star band picking,we will contest a few chairs. For one, wewill pick George Aul (Shaw) as a tenor saxman replacing Mr. Mitchell's Vido Musso.Although Ted put Barney Bigar in theclarinet seat, we pick Artie Shaw becauseof his unsurpassable solo work. Joe Jones(Basic), occupies our drummer's chair in-stead of Mr. Mitchell's Jack Crawford(Lunceford). Of course, we're prejudicedbut we pick Basic for the piano spot insteadof Avery Farrish (Hawkins).

Two records we like are Glenn Miller's"A String of Pearls," and Alvino Rey's "ISaid No."

Without a doubt, formals are adrastic yet thrilling episode in col-lege life. However, a depiction ofone disillusioned little gals ideamight add humor and en;*i;hten-ment on the subject; to here goesfor first-hand information to thosewho crave formal presentation.Yes, most girls enjoy bedeckingthemselves in stiff, rustling taf-feta. They like nothing betterthan flowers in carefully curledlocks, and spiked heels on pro-testing feet. They look forwardto and dream endlessly about the"Prince Charming" who will es-cort them through dreamland. Heis a prince, indeed, turning femin-ine hearts through gymnastic flip-flops as he steps forth inborrowedcoat-tails and rented top hat.These serveas shining armour— tothe dance they go!

No slippers could be more shin-ing, no heels more waveringly ele-vating, no skirt could billow moregracefully. All in all a recipe fora perfect evening. Enticing musicgives her a peek through the por-tals of heaven— a glance at the

S.R.O.Everyday of the college week stu-

dents of this Jesuit institution are of-fered an opportunity and a privilegethat many Catholic colleges in thecountry have been trying to get formany years. We are referring to thenoon meditations held in our newchapel.

It is a fact, one which no personapologizes for, that there is not roomenough in the chapel to accommodatethe students who attend. This is per-haps the most gratifying scene at S. C.because it shows how greatly our stu-dents appreciate their faith.

If crowds at these services continueto increase on the same ratio as theyhave in thepast few weeks, The Spec-tator suggests that plans be made tohold a second service following thenoon meditation.

Jean Collins and Mary Frances Schlosserhave dropped school for the present to ac-cept Civil Service positions in governmentoffices. Also no longer at school are EleanorConnell and Dorothy Spanski.

Edward John Fujiwara "Fuji" reports onhis visits to friend George Costello that hisUniversity course is quite absorbing. Hehasn't decided whether to take his Master'sDegree now or wait for the degree of Doctorof Philosophy in Chemistry.

Bob Roy, Bob Burrows,George Basel, andBill Powers have successfully passed all re-quirements for entrance into the Army AirCorps and will be inducted in February.Bob Roy will be sent from McChord FieldtoRyan Field,Calif;Bill Powers and GeorgeBasel are to be stationed at Bakersfield,CaTTf.

From The StaffOn the front page of The Spectator

today, we have made a plea to the stu-dentbody to aid in continuing the pub-lication of this newspaper. It is not thefault of anyone in Seattle College thatthe present condition exists and we donot want anyone to believe that theeditorial staff is passing the buck tothe ASSC.

The Spectator lacks typists andwriters only because the mainstays ofthe writing staff were forced to leavecollege either for defense jobs or toserve in the armed forces.

Since journalism is not offered as acredit subject, we must of necessityrecruit new talent from the ranks ofthe student body. If The Spectatordoes not inform Seattle College of itspresent situation, then it has no othermeans of rebuilding its staff.

This is a favor we are asking fromthe student body and under no cir-cumstances should it be considered byanyone as a demand for service, or anadmittance of lack of cooperation onthe f.?rt of the students of SeattleCollege.

informally

DEAR EDITORA late editorial deplored the fact that stu-

dents andprofessorsno longer discussed thearts and sciences, entertainment and thecost of living,outside of the classroom.From

! these informal round-tables came much ofthe live knowledge that the students carriedaway from school. This would be an im-possible situation inmost colleges today, es-pecially the large state schools, the so-called'department stores of education."

Stephen Leacock went to Oxford to un-earth the secrets of their great scholars andprofessors. "I understand that the key tothis mystery is found in the operations ofthe person called the tutor. It is from him,or rather with him, that the students learnall that they know. Yet it is a little odd toknow just how he does it." 'We go over to his room,' said one stu-dent, "and he just lights a pipe and talks tous.' From this and other evidence Igatherthat what an Oxford tutor does is to get alittle group of students together and smokeat them. Men who have been systematicallysmoked at for four years turn into ripescholars. A well-smoked man speaks andwrites English with a grace that can be ac-quired in no other way."

This theory willultimately work a revolu-tion in education. True learning, it seems,must be inhaled through the teeth-scarredstem of a Kaywoodie. This may work ahardship on the frailer portions of facultyand student body, but StephenLeacockknew of what he spoke. Thepipe's the thing.

It is the same StephenLeacock who wrotethe classic words,"Ispent three years in thegraduate school of Chicago, where co-educa-ticnal girls wereas thick asautumn leaves

—and some thicker."

Bill Stapleton, who is an active member of the Seniorclass and a member of Kappa Epsilon Delta, is also beingconsidered as a possible candidate.

Stan Conroy may again throw his hat into the ring asa candidate. A senior, he is president of the Gavel Cluband ran for the A.S.S.C. presidency last spring.

Coeds have two possible candidates for this office.Mary Doherty, who also ran for this office last year, has

many supporters if she chooses to run. A senior, she is inthe Silver Scroll, women's honorary, as well as being activein the Gavel Club.

Nora Keavy, the other possible feminine candidate, ispresident of the Silver Scroll and was co-chairman of theJunior Prom. Keavy is also a senior.

Freshmen will have their initial baptism in student bodypolitics as they go to the polls to choose three representa-tives to the Advisory Board. Sophomores and Juniors mustchoose representatives to replace students elected to theAdvisory Board last spring.

The actual time of elections will probably take placeduring Homecoming.

Personnel Exams Offered

ByBILL BATES.1 Saturday is Tolo Night! Many happy] memories flood back to your reporter ofTolo Nights of the past. The DAR hall wasthe scene of one of the past Tolo Nights. Itwas a huge success, that night, and Ithink

■Ithat this year's dance will equal or better. all the records of functions sponsored by theA.W.S.S.C. in the past.

IfIhad more time (or a little more systemto the time Ihave at my disposal) Iwoulddrop a note to my good friend Father TomLarkin. Father Larkin is down at Sheridan,Oregon and he has with him a little poemthat Ihave tried to remember for hours,

even at the expense of my none-too-strongi brain. The poem, of this lam sure, is titledj "College Lads and Lasses." That, at least,is a reasonable facsimile. Father Larkin

1 gave it to me up in Ketchikan last spring,but for the life of me,Ican't find my copyof it. If Father Larkin reads this, pleasehave pity on a poor old1Homecoming chair-man and send me another copy.

Tidbits: It's late, plenty late, butIknowof plenty of fellows who are still lookingfor a date to this Tolo tomorrow night. Girls,your duty is clear. Ask the goonie for adate ... chances are he'll say yes...MaryEllen Currid tried to fool these ailing oldeyes with her new sun-tan makeup. Ithought for a moment it was legitimate. Butthat's a mere man for you;Itell you, men,they're out tohoodwink us at every turn...Mary Ellen, by the way, is a most valuableperson to S. C. I'm speaking objectively, ofcourse ...My respected editor is at presenton the verge of hysteria. As an ex-editorto the present man,Ican only say that thefirst three quarters as editor are the tough-est. (Iwas editor for only one quarter) ...Want to help your school? Turn out forthe Spec. We need helpers in all depart-ments and you may be the one we want.

Plans for the Homecoming Dance arebooming right along. Tommy Andersonwhom Ihold as a good friend, regardlessof our political differences, did the big thing,Ithink, by pledging his support to the com-mittee although he doesn't agree with allour plans. Don't think we don't appreciateyour views, Tom. It's just that we are onour way at S. C. and let's do things rightand make them BIGor don't do them at all.

Nora is Prexy of theSilver Scroll and has a list of collegiateachievements behind her that are a realtribute to any S.C. student ...Bob Lowden,goodlooking Senior Pre-med man.

The gym had become smelly from thehonest perspiration of hundreds of teen-ageboys. Wherever one would look there werekids. All the way from four to twenty theywere, and all healthy clean living young-sters, enjoying themselves under the super-vision of capable instructors. Some wereplaying basketball, two little tykes werecuffing each other with sixteen-ounce box-ing gloves, and a large group were showingtheir wares on the horizontal bars and mats.

Over in one corner of this juvenile train-ing gym stood a man

—a young man of

handsome features and probably not morethan a quarter of a century in age. Hissharp eyes seemed to take in all the kidsat once, andhis partedlips grinned approval.These were his boys— well, for three or fourhours of the day anyway.

Beans enjoyed this job of herding a bunchof kids around and teaching them how tobe good sports wherever they went. Ofcourse he had another name besides Beans,but that was what the kids called him andhe liked it. He liked it better— much better— than his real name which he had alwayshated. Grover Beanblossom, Jr., they hadnamed him. As if the first part wasn'tenough they had tacked the Jr. on the endbecause it gave the name an air of dignity.Beans thought the whole doggone namesmelled. That's what the kids thought too.

This was his last day in the job he hadheld for the past four years and he hatedto leave. But circumstances had caught upwith him and he simply had to go. Itwarmed his heart when some little guy onhis way to the showers would stop by andtell Beans how the kids were going to misstheir leader. And he'd say that he was go-ing to miss the kids too.

One by one the future champs left thegym and all gave Beans their best wishesand told him how sorry they were to seehim go. Finally the whole gym was clearedand for the last time Grover began his workof cleaning up. Down came the horizontalbars, those same bars upon which he hadtried to chin himself four years ago andcouldn't All but one found their places inthe supply room, while the last tested themuscular ability of Mr. Grover Beanblossom,Jr. Fifty-five times his biceps flexed andrelaxed, then they failed to pull him up anymore. That was a long way to come in fouryears.

Then in succession, the mats were putaway, the ring taken down, the towels gath-ered and the springboard carted to its cubby-hole under the bleachers. That springboardBrought back memories. Memories of howhe, Grover Beanblossom, Jr., had jumped onthe old one and had broken it to bits, andhow Beans Beanblossem had bought some!oak flooring— oak was much more durableand springy and expensive than the old pineor fir— and made with his own hands a finenew springboard. Memories, of how the kids Iwould leap ten and fifteen feet into the air,screaming like mad men, and having thetimes of their young lives.

With all the equipment stowed away,Beans showered, changed into a clean sweat-shirt, put on his new cotton checked pants,grabbed his overcoat, and suitcase in hand,headed out into the street. It was a long

'

time before he got a cab— they didn't

particularly care for the environment of theold slum district. It was a face full of sus-picion which poked itself out of the cabwindow and said, "Hop in buddy," and jthen, "Where to?" \

The untrusting scowl turned to somewhatof a sneer as the fare replied in a rich bari-tone voice, "Long Island Drive and TerrillAye."

For hours, it seemed to Beans, they rodeon and on, through the late evening trafficof the busy metropolis ...All the while,hethought of the life he was leaving and thelife he was about to take up. He hopedit would be better this time.

As the cab neared its destination, Beanssquirmed into an overcoat

—an overcoat bear-1,

ing the label of a swankyFifth Avenue men'sshop. A monogrammed scarf was neatlydrapedaround the strongneck and with justthe right wrinkle tucked inside the expen-sive looking overcoat. Then the cab stoppedwith a squeaking that would not have beenheard had the company taken care to relinethe brakes occasionally.

"That'll be $7.35," said the cabby in a voicethat expectednothingfrom this Bowerybum.That same old sneer was erased when thepaper touched his hand, but came back asI

A Dance Band has been or-ganized in Seattle College.Universities and Collegesthroughout the country aresupporting their own SwingBands and this is an oppor-;tunity for the musicians of|the school to get some ex-perience as well as to provideentertainment for the College.

The band is composed en-tirely of Seattle College stu-dents who have played inbands in high school andaround town. They have or-ganized thisband to give thema chance to play while incollege.

The members include War-jren Johnson,clarinet and sax;jTom Brady, trumpet; JackYoung, trombone; Manual.Vera, drums; Richard Dehart,Ithe Spanish guitar; Bill Balle,piano and piano-accordion.

There still is room for a fewmore pieces; if you are inter-ested in playing dance musicyou may see Warren Johnsonor Manual Vera. There is apractice Friday afternoon,January 16 in Room 32. Mem-bers of the band ask you tobring your horn and join thefun.

Well, here it is,Friday, and Seattle College has no sportsto write about. So we will write about other, more athlet-ically minded schools. (To date no one has offered his serv-ices to help write this page.)

Washington's basketball team don't look like "world beat-■ers" on either Friday or Saturday night during the Idahoseries. However, perhaps they were still feeling the effectsof the train trip home. The best Washington man on the

; floor, in our opinion, was Wally Leask. Wally, an Indian|boy, is from the town of Mitlakatla, Annette Island,Alaska.Before playing ball for the Huskies, he won a letter on theSitka High School team and played two years for Lincoln

IHigh School in Seattle. He, Norm Dalthrop, and Chuck Gil-mur, three of Edmundson's regulars, were on Lincoln'schampionship teams in '38 and '39.

Speakingof Sports, youhad better get into shape for theConga lines and South American rhythms which will pre-vail at the Winter Informal.

Fr. William Gaffney, S. J., declares that any of thesportsoffered by Seattle College are good conditioners.

and managed to dig ourselves out each time. We hope tosee youat Paradise on Sunday, because, for real thrills andsport, skiing is tops!

Ruth Brock, A.S.S.C. secre-tary, remarked that no otherdance could parallel the Win-ter Informal of this year, and,since Homecoming is sup-posed to be the greatest socialof the year, everything there-fore pointed to a merging ofthe two.

The Advisory Board meet-ing of January 9, had themost heated discussions everdealt with in this representa-tive board. It surpassed, even,the enraged meeting of theAdvisory Board last year afterthe Judicial Board flayed itina faulty election accusation.

Bookstore CarriesComplete Book StocksFor Winter Quarter

Making tentative plans fororganization into an activecooperative unit in the pres-ent world crisis, members ofthe Silver Scroll, Seattle Col-lege women's honorary, metTuesday evening at the homeof Francis McGuire and dis-cussed the matter. Manysug-gestions for the type of vol-unteer work were offered,until it was decided that acommittee would be formedto inquire of the official sour-ces what type of volunteerworker is most in demand.Miss Florida Perri will headthis group and appoint var-ious members of the organi-zation to the type of workthey are best fitted for.

Theatre PlansAlso suggestedat this meet-

ing was that the group takeover the Penthouse or Show-jboat theatre for an evening,!making it a "Seattle College'Night." Miss RuthBrand will jtake charge of the arrange-ments for this activity. Fur-ther announcement concern-ing the affair will be posted]at a later date.

Erroneously printed in the Spec-tator a few weeks ago, was themisstatement that the city lightwas donating several pieces ofequipment to the engineering de-partment. Dr. Drill corrected theSpectator by making the follow-ing statement: "Certain friends ofthe college who are employes ofthe City Light, have donated sev-eral pieces of equipment to thedepartment. Of course, they boughtthis equipment from the city them-selves before presenting it to us."

Why is it that most stud-ents suddenly forget theirhome training upon their ar-rival at a restaurant? Atleast this seems to be the gen-eral trend of the students ofSeattle Collegeupon their en-trance into Mrs. Reynold'sCafeteria for that tasty snackor cup of coffee.

As students in a Catholiccollege all of us must havehad goodhome training at oneItime or another. Yet, manyof the college students seemto check their manners at thedoor and pick them up againupon leaving.

Turned over and broken ashtrays, waste paper carelesslythrown on the floor, cigaretteashes and stubs smeared on!the table and chairs andmixed in the remnants of cof-fee in the cups are some ofthe monstrosities that wouldgreet one upon his arrival inthe Cafeteria after the stud-ents ate (shall we call it?)andbefore Mrs.Reynoldsandher helpers could clean vp—again.

Students of Seattle Collegeshouldn't cause a spectacle asdescribed above; so keep yourmanners, don't check them inat the door. Act in the cafe-teria as youhave been taughtat home.
