Lumberjack Legislators Drawing
Student Affairs To Completion
The following letter has just
been received from a former
Lumberjack. The attitudes ex­pressed
were very interesting to
me, for this reason, the letter is
being presented for the benefit
of our students.
"Dear Dean:
Remember m e ? ..............the
dumbest student ever given a
“3”. Well. Dean, 1 think of you
at least once a day and the cause
of it all la this:
I am an . . . . for the School
Tax Division of the Bureau of
Revenue. State of . . . . It is by
far the most interesting work
and the best job I ever Had. At
least once a day I ’m thankful
that you made me continue in
. . . . when I wanted to drop It
and that you were master of the
situation enough to force some
of the elements'-*>f that subject
through my thick skull.. Almost
daily the memory of Borne rule,
illustration, or problem . . . .
cornea back to me, making my
present work much easier.
It ’s strange that T im - able to
remember now when I couldn t
remember it during the exam
on the following Friday. Frank­ly,
1 didn’t care for . . . . aa a
college subject but as a profes­sion,
it’a swell.
You might use this as a testi­monial
to brighten up the Inter­est
of aome of your present dis­heartened
students, who, like my­self.
may feel that it ia a waate
of Use.
With best personal regarda, I
am
Sincerely yours,

Looking Forward
To 1941 Homecoming
Homecoming, 1941, may seein a
long way away to everybody else,
but to next year’s student council,
which met for a short meeting last
night immediately after the coun­cil
banquet in Hast Dining hall,
s just around the comer.
At least it was mentioned dur­ing
the business of the meeting
last night, although, to be sure,
any action on the 1941 celebration
was deferred to the next meeting
of the body, scheduled for next
Tuesday evening.
Homecoming was only one mat
ter deferred by the solons. Other
items scheduled to be thrashed out
it the next meeting are the print­ing
contract for the 1941-42 PINE,
and the appointment of a business
manager for l^a Cuesta.
President Carl Rogers was given
the go ahead signal on the pur­chasing
of yell leaders' sweaters
and freshman beaqtes.
Consideration or the faculty
member to be appointed to the pub­lications
board was postponed un­til
next fall, when the council will
be able to choose from the com­plete
faculty list.
Coin Verifies Grand
Canyon Legend
The story, frequently quoted
but never actually authenticated,
that Grand Canyon was created
by a Scotchman^ digging for a
nickel he lost in a gopher hole,
was verified last weekend.
Bob Evans found the nickel.
While on a geology field trip
last weekend with 10 other col­lege
students, ‘ Evans found the
coin at the very bottom of Grand
Canyon, near Phantom ranch.
He states that all 10 of his stu­dent
companions. Dr. Agnes A l­len,
geology instructor, and Lou­is
B. Schellbach, park naturalist,
were witnesses to the find.
Evans, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
W. Evans, of Mesa, former Flag­staff
residents, states the un­known
Scotchman can regain the
coin by properly identifying it.
Meanwhile, he plans to hang on
to the nickel, as he believes it is
one of the greatest geological
finds in history.
The nickel was picked up by'
Evans Sunday. So worn was it
that its smooth surface gave no
clue as to date it was coined,
thereby leaving the time of the
creation of the vast gorge still
a mystery.
Old Council Fills
Traditions Posts;
Pays Prom Bills
The 1940-41 student council
started on its last lap yesterday
afternoon in the council room, in
its next-to-last meeting. The meet­ing
was occupied with “ finishing-up"
business.
First item on the agenda was the
appointment of next fall’s tradi­tions
committee, which, according
to the constitution, is to be made
up of four women and four men
students. Included among the men
students is Jhe president of the
junior class for next year, who acts
in an ex-officio capacity as chair­man
of the committee.
Those selected by the council to
serve were Betty Jane Anderson,
Jane Proctor, Marietta Heflin, and
Virginia Lockhart, representing
the women students; and Bob Web­ster,
Don Snyder, and Brewer
Ward, who, along with Kenneth
Coffin, next year’s junior presi­dent,
will make up the men’s quota
on the committee.
The only other Item of business
transacted by the council during
the brief meeting had to do with
the junior prom. Upon the pre­sentation
of a bill by Brewer Ward
in behalf of Grace Connor, prom
chairman, the council voted to re­verse
its ruling of a week ago and
to assume the responsibility for
paying the prom bills, as there ap­peared
to be precedence for such
action in past years.

Unusual Orchestral Program
To Be Presented Monday Eve.
Concert To Feature
Home Grown No*s.
Believed to be something uniaue
in the way of concerts, at least for
this campus, will be the musical
program next Monday evening in
North Hall Lounge, beginning at
8 o’clock. The program will be
open to the public without charge.
The greater part of the program,
which is being presented as a joint

classes, and vocal students,
will be “home grown.” General di­rector
for the program will be J.

have been orchestrated by
the orchestration class; will be con­ducted
by the conducting class;
and, when vocal solos, will be sung
by voice students of Mr. Anderson.
The program will climax weeks
and months of preparation by all
taking part, from orchestration
class members, who began working
on. their part of the program
months ago, to orchestra members,
who have Wen practicing under
student directors for some time
1941-42 Council
Has First Meet,
Busy Session
A bu^y first session of the 1941-
42 Associated Student Council was
held last Tuesday night. May 13,
and some weighty and important
problems faced the group to test
their ability as student legislators.
The first business on the pro­gram
for the new group included a
lengthy discussion c e n t e r i n g
around the matter of yell leaders
and their sweaters. The Council
decided that they would give Bob
Leonard the authority to pick his
n assistants, with the approval
of the Council. It was further de­cided
that the yell leader would be
given a gold sweater with a blue
yell leader’s letter. The assistants
will be given blue sweaters with
gold letters. In order to keep their
swaters the pep boosters must
<*?rve through the football and
basketball seasons.
Another matter decided upon was
the appointment of the editor of
the 1941-42 Student Handbook. The
only person to hand in an applica­tion
was Jim I^onard, who was
given the job. The first c o p y for
the book will be at the printers
early this week and the Ixntk will
be distributed to prospective fresh­men
during the early part of the
summer.
Following the selection of the
Handbook editor, the selection of
members to .the Publications Board
was discussed without definite ac­tion
being taken other than the
recommending of Tierce Long, Jim
Leonard, Barbara James, with the
faculty representative being left
undetermined.
‘ ongest single speech of the
evening was that concerning the
matter of the appointment of a
business manager for the La Cues­ta.
Elmer Brown, 1940-41 manager,
gave a long talk on a plan which
he believed would improve the ad­vertising
of the Yearbook. No ac­tion
was taken on the matter.
Spilsbury Named
A.IVLS. President
In Close Race
Jack Spilsbury, who entered the
race as a write-in candidate during
the first run-off election, was voted
into the presidency of the Asso­ciated
Men Students for next year
in a second run-off last Wednesday.
Spilsbury received the office only
by a narrow margin over his clos­est
opponent, Don Snyder. New
write-in candidates nearly made an
additional run-off necessary, only a
votes making the difference
between a majority and a plurality
for the successful candidate.
The new A.M.S. president will
be a junior next year, entering A.
S. T. C. with the class of 1942,
but staying out last year. He is a
stellar performer on the basketball
floor, ranking among the high scor­ers
in conference competition dur­ing
the past season, his first in
varsity play. He served as fresh­man
of his class during his first
year here. He recently was made

often the better part of valor, pic­nic
committees of the Associated

been seen in Lumberjackland for
several years.
After a short program of games,
and a hearty Hanley meal Berved
in the open, the Women'B day
refugees settled down around a
campfire and listened to funny
stories and professors’ stories with
an attention never equaled in the
same professors’ class rooms.
‘ feature of the campfire ses­sion
was a recognition contest
foisted upon the faculty members..
The professors were caused to walk
around the circle of A. M. S. mem­bers
gathered around the fire, and
for every face not recognized by
the faculty member, that faculty
member was required to pay a
fine.
General arrangements for the
picnic were made by Rue Hickman,
A. M. S. president. Joe Rolle was
in charge of steak frying, John
Puhara, entertainment, and James
Norton, George Berger, and Bob
