I n d u s t r i a l A rts Class Learns How Power Is Formed The Industrial Arts class, under the direction of Mr. Osborn, was given an inside view of the operation of generators at the city power house last Wednesday morning. Mr. Lowsin, superintendent of the power house, gave a lecture on the operation of the generator. He also added that the cause of so much static on the radios was due to the noise that started in the country and was transformed over the power lines. French Movie To Be Shown Tomte Tonight at 7 p. m. in As-hurst auditorium students and faculty of A. S>T. C. will have an opportunity to see how talkies are made in France with the showing of the comedy, “A Nous La Liberte.” A satire on modem industrial society, the picture shows in a sidesplitting manner what happens when a workman fails to put on the proper screw at the proper time in an ultra-modern phonograph factory. Remarkable pantomine directed by the ace French director, Rene Clair, makes the story clear in spite of the foreign dialogue, but in addition superimposed English sub-titles and an English introduction make the story an open book. A short subject will precede the feature. The admission, as usual, is 10 cents. Heads Show Harry Biller, president of the Pi Kappa Epsilon fraternity, is largely responsible for the work being done by that organization this year, and is rapidly completing plans for the fraternity’s annual vaudeville. Eastern Co-eds Agree With Local Girls On Marriage Lpsola Women Put “Flaming Love” Last, Want Brains In Men T h at coeds at Up.sala college. East Orange, agreed with the coeds at F lagstaff was revealed recently when the following article appeared in a Sunday issue of the Newark, N. J.. Call: Coeds at Upsala college. East Orange, agreed emphatically with their sisters at Arizona State Teachers college in Flagstaff, Arizona, that a man doesn’t have to be able to embrace fiamingly to be a good husband. A poll of a cross section of Upsala girls revealed that good character, ambition and intelligence, especially intelligence, are a man’s best qualifications for the altar. Like the Arizona girls, the East Orange coeds put the “passionate lover” type at the bottom of the list.O ut in Arizona, where the jokes are dry anyway, the girls don’t care much whether their future husbands have a sense of humor. But in East Orange nine out-of 10 sgirls put this attribute third on the list. Some differed over whether (Continued on Page Two) JOHNSON BACK FROM CONFAB, TELLS OF TRIP Seventy Delegates A t t e n d Conference Of College Pressmen James G. Johnson, publicity director, returned early Monday .morning from Utah, where he had gone to attend a district meeting of the American College Publicity association, of which he is a member of the executive committee, held in conjunction with the annual convention of the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Press association. oth meetings were successful, according to Mr. Johnson. At the publicity directors’ meeting,' President Harris of Brigham Young, host school, spoke on "A university president’s ideas concerning publicity," with a reply from the publicity man’s point of view by Mr. Johnson. Other topics included suggestions for obtaining more and better national publicity for the colleges in this district, ways to run a student staff in a publicity office, and the use of radio in college publicity. Mr. Johnson drcve 1100 miles on his trip, making GOO to Provo in one day. He arrived, with Mrs. Johnson, at 3 a. m. Friday and found no room to be had in the city. After searching for an hour, they finally went to sleep on • a m attress in a hotel corridor. Coming back was more evenLful. They were stuck in a mud hole near Fredonia for two hours, and were pushed into a snowbank near Jacobs Lake by a big truck, which fortunately stopped after Mrs. Johnson chased it, and pulled them out. The car had dug through the edge of a five-foot snowbank for 30 feet until the front wheels caught and threw them into it, landing them at right angles to the road with the nose of the car buried in the drift. Three feet away was a 20-foot ditch which thpy had scraped by. They arrived in JFJagstaff at 2 a. m. Monday, after going through rain, snow, sleet and mud, all in one day, with frozen brakes and steering geai B e n s o n , Willis Married Sunday Miss Frances Willis, former student of A. S. T. C..

The couple left for an extended honeymoon trip in southern California. When they return, the newlyweds will make their home in Flagstaff. Mr. Benson is postoffice clerk here. Reader Lauds Co-Eds On Stand In an Amarillo, Texas, paper last week a story ran under a large head that said “Women Students Ban Passionate Lovers as Mates.” The story went on to tell how Flagstaff women placed men of good character, intelligence, and ambition above all other virtues to be desired in a mate. In the next column in the same paper under a still larger head which read “Robert Taylor Runs Gauntlet of Kissing Women at President’s Dance," a lengthy article went on to tell how “one hostess, well matured, jumped out of line, threw her arms around the actor’s neck, and kissed him. He broke into a run, but was kissed several times before he reached the platform.” An Amarillo reader of the paper was so struck by the contrast in the two stories th at he sat down and wrote the following letter to the women students of this college. Amarillo, Texas January 31, 1937. Women Students Arizona State College F lagstaff, Arizona. Greetings: If I were young and single, I would go to Flagstaff and see if this is in good repute. I am not young, but with the 48 years, of experience, I feel a little encouraged that perhaps women are waking up; beginning to realize that they hold the keys to the moral situation, and that they will relinquish th a^ iig h ly esteemed position if they continue to sink to a man’s leve’. What a contrast we see in the enclosed clipping. 1 have a son, who is better looking than Robert Taylor, and of all the evil forces th at seem to beset him, I believe th at the general disposition of the girls—in this age—are the most calamitous. They say times have changed; we hepr that on every hand, and it is apparent that they are using it as a slogan to justify themselves in running amuck. So fa r my boy does not drink or smoke, and f do not believe he is possessed of the many popular evils, but it is my vital concern as to when he will break over. Apparently it is inevitable if he is popular or tries to stay in the “ring.” I wish that I could choose a girl; place her in safe-keeping until he has acquired an education and developed, then present to him the greatest gift that God gave to man-—a good woman—a woman th at loves home and places character above everything. If that could be true, I would never worry about the destiny of my son. Sincerely, A FATHER.

P in e Knots To Go On Press In March At a meeting of Pine Knots held a t Dr. Hill’s home last Tuesday night, plans were made for the publication of the Pine Knots magazine early in March. Stories and poems read and accepted for publication were “Golden rod” and “My Love” by Charles Bull; “Celebration" and “Apache Devil Dance" by Vivian Lockhart; “Fear” by Juliet Osborn, and “Chamber of Commerce” by Orley Pendergraft. Laurel Peterson read an original story, “Bridge or War,” which is to be re-read at the next meeting with a few changes.

C. were discontinued last Sunday when a 60 mile an hour gale swept through the campus. The drizzling rains of the night before had melted the snow banks, and the resulting water froze into chunks on the sidewalks so that walking was made dangerous and uncomfortable. Listed among the day’s mishaps on the campus were several broken transoms in the women’s dormitory; the tearing down of two huge pine trees that have been landmarks for years; roofs swept off some of the cabins and. down town7 telephone poles uprooted. Any adventurous souls who dared to brave the swirling snow and stinging blasts were soon discouraged and returned to the sanctuary of their home'* or to the dormitories. Bill Would Make Flagstaff Part Of State University Denying-political logrolling, Senator Wieden, of Yuma county, last week asked to have a new bill introduced in the House to replace the Stauffer bill that has already passed the House and is up for approval by the Senate. The new bill, as described by Senator Wieden, would make A. S. T. C. at Tempe and Flagstaff branches of the university. Any degree that the two schools should desire to issue would be a featured part of the Wieden bill. The reason for such action by Senator Wieden was said to bring the diB-sention that was growing in the legislature to a stop. Backers of the Stauffer bill said that Wieden’s bill was in reality a move to kill Stauffer’s bill, and put a bill before the House that would be voted down. Such a hill, they also said, would never pass a judiciary committee because of its unconstitutionality. F ifty Sign To Make Trip To Tempe Tilt At the present time approxi mately 50 students have signed up to take part in the special rooting section that will leave Friday morning to invade Tempe with the Lumberjack casaba team. Although rides have been found for all the students who have applied, many students are causing confusion by seeking rides for themselves. On the other hand, several students already designated to certain cars have decided not to go but have not as yet notified Sam Ilitzky, yell leader, who is supervising the trip arrangements. This means that if the car owners are not notified they will find themselves with vacant places Friday morning when they go after their passengers. Consequently they may not make the trip. Students who wish to go to Tempe and do not have rides are urged to see Sam lllitzky immediately for the necessary arrangements. Students who have already consulted him but are not going, are also urged to give proper notice so that the vacancies may be filled. Icy Tracks Being Smoothed For High Speed, Bank Curves For Safety HIKERSTO PLAY Campus Croup To Hold Outing At* Hill Saturday, Scouts In Meet In preparation for a week of inter sports frolics to be held on the new City park slides next week-end. a crew of seven men, under the direction , of Carr Schwarz. WPA recreational advis- >r for Flagstaff, are busily put-ing the finishing touches on two dides, one of which is over a quarter of a mile long, in anticipation of one of the largest crowds ever to gather in F lagstaff for participation in sports of this nature. Already this week many college and F lagstaff people have taken advantage of the runs which have been put into almost perfect condition afte r recent rains, snowfall and cold weather had provided an icy base for the. bottom of the track. Last Monday evening, a party of college students rode the tracks on sleds and toboggans and reported that the now soiidly-pack-ed snow had made the runways so fast that it was necessary to start half way up the trail. Work this week, however, will remove all bad spots, and It will be possible to traverse the full length of the trail, attaining top speeds of nearly 40 miles an hour. Still undaunted after being kept indoors for two weeks because of adverse weather conditions, the Hiking club has planned another outing which is to be held on the hill next" Saturday hdoming. Skiing. sledding and riding on the new 16-foot toboggan purchased recently by the club will be featured1 for the members. Net to miss out in the fun, a troop of city scouts,has made a r rangements to hold a sledding* and skiing tournament on the small track Saturday morning. The competition will feature sled and ski races between the members. Talk has been current uptown ir s/iiji*- time cnTwommg a competitive winter sports carnival for all northern Arizonans which would be held on the new hill. As yet, however, no definite plans have been announced. DANCE POSTPONED The Mid H atter “Sweetheart Dance” which was to have been held this week-end has been postponed until March 5th.

Students Aid Red Cross Fund Drive The vF lagstaff college students were alive to the widespread appeal for contributions to the flood-stricken area this past week when they raised $12 that was sent in immediately. Seven dollars was raised by the men and five dollars by the WSftMo. The men took up contributions among themselves while the women gave from their regular women’s fund.

The new bill, as described by Senator Wieden, would make A. S. T. C. at Tempe and Flagstaff branches of the university. Any degree that the two schools should desire to issue would be a featured part of the Wieden bill. The reason for such action by Senator Wieden was said to bring the diB-sention that was growing in the legislature to a stop. Backers of the Stauffer bill said that Wieden’s bill was in reality a move to kill Stauffer’s bill, and put a bill before the House that would be voted down. Such a hill, they also said, would never pass a judiciary committee because of its unconstitutionality. F ifty Sign To Make Trip To Tempe Tilt At the present time approxi mately 50 students have signed up to take part in the special rooting section that will leave Friday morning to invade Tempe with the Lumberjack casaba team. Although rides have been found for all the students who have applied, many students are causing confusion by seeking rides for themselves. On the other hand, several students already designated to certain cars have decided not to go but have not as yet notified Sam Ilitzky, yell leader, who is supervising the trip arrangements. This means that if the car owners are not notified they will find themselves with vacant places Friday morning when they go after their passengers. Consequently they may not make the trip. Students who wish to go to Tempe and do not have rides are urged to see Sam lllitzky immediately for the necessary arrangements. Students who have already consulted him but are not going, are also urged to give proper notice so that the vacancies may be filled.
