On Confab
Carl Rogers and Brewer Ward,
presidents-elect and outgoing re­spectively,
were both enthusiastic
in their praiBe of the potential
worth to the student body as a
whple of their trip last week to
Catalina Island for the purpose of
attending the 18th - annual Con­gress
f l the Pacific Students Pres­idents
Association.
The convention was neld over a
three day period, with the first
day at Long Beach. Seventy rep­resentatives
from colleges in the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific dis­tricts
were present at the meet.
Discussions at the convention
were held in informal round-tables.
Topics discussed included fresh­man
orientation, relations of stu­dent
publications to student gov ­ernment,
student-faculty-alumni-administration
relations, and the
development of campus activities.
The last meeting, held on the Isl­and,
drew up resolutions and chose
Sun Valley, Idaho, as next year’s
convention site.
The representatives were enter­tained
on the mainland by tours of
Hollywood and the C o l u m b i a
Broadcasting Bystem studios; and
at Catalina by a beach part and a
dinner-dance at St. Catherine’s ho­tel,
at both of which the men were
hosts to 70 U.C.L.A. coeds.
Among the items which impress­ed
the Flagstaff delegates was the
equality which they, coming from
the smallest school i%presented,
were able to feel in the discussion
periods. ‘The meet was exception­ally
well planned,” according to
Ward. “I ieel that no president
should miss an opportunity to at­tend."
Among the schools represented
were the University of Arizona,
with two delegates, and Arizona
State at Tempc, which sent four
men to the meet.
The minutes of the meeting will
be printed by the Association, and
together with notes taken by Rog­ers
and Ward will be presented to
the student body in tne near fu­ture.
Peaceful Session
Marks Start Of
Axe Awarding
Robert Evans Named Pine
Business Manager
For ’41-’42
what was probably onfc of the
most peaceful meetings ever to
consider the gold axe awards for
seniors, the student council last
night, in one sitting, practically
completed work on the trouble­some
topic of the awards, and still
found time to appoint the new
business manager for THE PINE.
The axe awards, usually the cen­ter
of the most violent student
legislative Btorm of the year, are
symbolic of the highest honors
given to the graduating seniors by
the student body. Those who are
honored with the axes are Btu-dents
who, in the unanimous opin­ion
of the council members, have
been among those seniors who
have given the highest service to
the school as a whole, and at the
same time exhibited characteris­tics
of leadership, scholarship, and
service.
le awarding of the axes last
night- proceeded at a good pace, up
to the close of the meeting, wh*a'
a deadlock was reached over some
of the final candidates for the hon­ors.
The awarding will possibly be
concluded at the next meeting.
Names of winners decided upon
last night will be withheld from
publication until the awarding is
completed.
Robert Evans was named busi-
.._>8s manager of THE PINE for
next year after a short period of
discussion. Jiih Leonard was the
other applicant for the position.
Bellwood To Speak
At Holbrook May H8
Dean Tom 0. Bellwood will de­liver
the commencement address
for Holbrook High School this
year, it was learned here today.
The address will be delivered be­fore
the largest class in the his­tory
of the school. Holbrook’s com­mencement
date is May 28.
This morning a student asked
me. “What is Rotary?” I sup­pose
this student along with
many others had noticed the
large number of “happy-go-lucky”
Rotarians and Rotary-anns
in attendance at the Dis­trict
Contention this weekend.
Space does not permit me to
answer this question fully. How­ever,
perhaps the best way to
answer it is to set forth the
FOUR OBJECTS OF ROTARY.
These are as follows:
1. The development of ac­q
u a i n t s ^ as an opportunity
2. High ethical standards in
bvsfaMM and professions; the
recognition of the worthiness of
sll useful occupations; and the
dignifying by each Rotarian of
his occupation as anooportun-ity
to S E RV E SOCIETY;
S. The application of the ideal
of service by every Kotarisn to
Coffin Heads Class

Wagner secretary, and Leo Kc
visto treasurer, the last two nan
ed being chosen for the second
time.
Representatives to the student
council will be Paul Pertuit and
Rene Scott. Following the general
meeting, the men of the class
elected Warren Ward and Robert
Webster as representatives to the

The social manager will be chos­en

plans. ___________
Vote
Tomorrow
“All students are urged to
turn out and vote tomorrow on
the list of proposed amend­ments
to the Associated Stu­dents
constitution,” according to
Brewer Ward, president.
The election, which had been
scheduled for Monday, was
postponed in order to alio*
completion of the ballots and
preparations for the voting.
Polls will be located in the
usual polling place, in the main
front hall of Old Main.
Twenty-one co n s t i t u t i o n
changes, mostly of minor na­ture,
will be up for considera­tion.

Olsen Article To
Appear In July
Marketing Journal
An article by Dr. Arden B. 01-
n, head of the business education
department here, will appear in
the July issue of the quarterly
Journal of Marketing, published by
the American Marketing associa­tion,
it was announced here last
■eek.
Entitled “History of Mormon
Mercantile Cooperatives in Utah,”
the article traces the history of
t h e consumer-cooperatives i d e a
from its conception in 1866 thru
its being put into operation in
1868, up to its present day activ­ity.
Meicantile-'ooperatives, accord-g
to Dr. Olsen, reached their
peak in the last century, at which
time 150 cooperative mercantile in­stitutions
were operating in the
Utah territory.
At the present time, only eight
of the establishments are in ex­istence,
plus the largest, Zion's
Cooperative Mercantile Institution
in Salt Lake City, which, with its
branch houses, is the largest retail
and wholesale institution in the
Rocky Mountain area.

That it’s hotter in Phoenix than

look at the clock when one gets
up in the morning; and that two
pairs of switches can be worse
than one, are some of the ideas
brought back by members of the
A Cappella Choir, who returned
to the campus early Thursday
morning, after one of their most
strenuous tours on record.

light, April 24. “ Atop the Heard
oullding, the choir was swelter­ing
in the ffitdst of making a half-hour
transcription which was
broadcast the next evening. The
men were the first to feel the ef­fects
of the heat, and to allay the
torture somewhat by divesting
themselves of their coats, collars
and tias.
As a strip-tease wasn’t a part
of their routine, the women just
stood and melted About half-way
through the recording, the girls
trio gathered around the mike for
the first of two scheduled numbers.
Just as the first chord was struck
there must have been an .extra
blast of heat which served as the
proverbial straw for V irginia Low-rey,
member of the trio, because
had happened, Lowrey was stretch­ed
out on the soft linoleum of the
studio floor, listening to the bir­dies.
All turned out for the best, how­ever.
After Lowrey had been re­vived,
an operation which allowed
all choir members to cool down to
the boiling point, the recording
was finished without further inci­dent.
In the completed transcrip­tion,
which was re-broadcast over
KFWB, Globe, while the choir was
in that station’s studio, there is no
trace of the break, due to the skill­ful
cutting on the part of KTAR’s
staff. ,
Dr. Eldon A. (Pop) Ardrey, di­rector
of the nationally famous
group, in past years has had rea­sons
to be proud of his Bingers’
hotel conduct while on tour. One
night this year, however, it looked
as though their good conduct rec­ord
was threatened, and it all
came about because Raul (Super­man)
Negrette didn’t look at the
clock when he got up one morning
in Safford.
“Rip” Van Winkle, choir man­ager,
went to Negrette’s room on
the fateful morning with the mes­sage
that it was time to get up.
Negrette, still half-asleep, got up
and dressed in double-quick time,
under the urgings of Rip, and fran­tically
rushed down to the hotel
lobby—only to find that the time
was actually an hour or so past
midnight.
Here's where the threat to the

Athletic events in which the

any such idea, however, and

Incidentally, as no com­plaints
were registered, the choir’s
conduct record still stands.
Two pairs of switches proved to
be the Nemesis of Ray Manley,
member of the choir’s lighting
