Clubs to Hear Speech Group

Speaking on varied subjects at civic clubs is the project of Miss Margaret Montague's advanced public speaking class.

The class sent letters to each civic club in Fort Smith offering to speak before the clubs on one of four subjects. Two class rep-resentatives will go to each group.

The subjects offered are: "Fort Smith Junior College—A Growing College," "Yes, I'm From Arkan-sas," "Do You Really Like Fort Smith?" and "Your Bloodmobile Needs You."

"The purpose of the class is to give practical experience to stu-dents, and appearing before a wide variety of audiences is won-derful experience," Miss Monta-gue said.

" I feel that these speeches not only help students, but also are good public relations for the col-lege," Miss Montague continued.

This is the second project of the advanced public speaking class. The first project was speak-ing for the Fort Smith Commun-ity Chest. In behalf of the Com-munity Chest, Shirley Windsor spoke before the Rotary club; Pat McClellan, on television; Eliza-beth Britt, before the student body; Jack Schoeppey, before the Kiwanis club; Charles Robertson, to the Optomist club; and Ralph Sanders, on television.

The advanced public speaking class consists of students having two other speech courses.

Bogue Speaks To JC Faculty

"More junior colleges a r e needed to manage the educational needs of an increasing number of students," Jesse P. Bogue, executive secretary of the Ameri-can Association of Junior Col-leges, told the faculty at a ban-quet Saturday night.

He praised Fort Smith junior college for its progress and in-creased enrollment. "You are on the right track and are receiving a good response from young peo-ple,' Dr. Bogue said.

He explained how other states are taking the overloading pres-sure off their senior colleges by establishing more junior colleges to ". . . round out the student's high school education and prepare him for advanced studies in a senior college."

Dr. Bogue is on a trans-con-tinental lecture tour of junior colleges.

Would You Like To Win $5,000

Would you like to win $5,000, or $1,000 or maybe $500?

You have a chance in the Reader's Digest m a g a z i n e scholarship contest which is now open.

Cash prizes are being of-fered to college students and faculty members in the con-test. A l l one has to do to en-ter is select the six articles— in the order of their prefer-ence—which he believes read-ers of the October Reader's Digest will like the most.

If junior college should win one of the top prizes, the school will receive a corresponding amount for a scholarship fund.

There will be at least one winner in every college which sends entries, for Reader's Di-gest is awarding $10 credit in the college bookstore to the best entry from each school.

More details about the con-test may be found in the ad on page six.

Lion's Roar Staff Attends Workshop

Seven members of the Lion's Roar staff and their sponsor, Mrs. James C. Deare, are attending the Arkansas College Press asso-ciation workshop at Hendrix College in Conway today.

Those attending include Ralph Sanders, Gary Morley, Bill Jack-son, Anna Minden, Stanley Win-ford, Doris Harris and Ella Jean Wagner.

Wallace Hurley of the Hurley Printing company of Camden and Ken Parker, state editor for the Arkansas Gazette are to be guest speakers.

Choir Sells Candy To make money for the Junior

College choir fund, the choir will sell candy every Friday in the lounge, according to Joyce Phil-lips, secretary.

The soprano and alto groups will take turns making the candy, and the boys will sell it.

Sophs Plan Freshman Initiation Although a definite date has

not been set for initiation begin-ning, plans are still underway for rules and regulations concerning freshman initiation, according to Paul Reed, sophomore president.

One very outstanding feature about freshmen during the two week period will be their green and white head dress—beanies. Of course all freshmen will be especially polite to upperclass-rnen, addressing them Mr. and Miss. It is customary for the freshmen to "button" at the same time. To "button" a freshman drops to one knee and touches the button on his beanie with one hand.

Freshmen also have to do favors and run errands for up-perclassmen. This doesn't include sophomore homework.

The front steps on the main

building and the stairs in the center of the main building from the main floor to the ground floor will be restricted for use by upperclassmen ONLY. Fresh-men will use the other steps and entrances to the building. Woe betide the unlucky frosh who comes lumbering up the front steps during initiation.

A special slate of rules will be issued daily by the sophomore council which apply to one day only. Included in those rules will be: girls wearing pigtails and no lipstick; boys wearing odd socks with their pant legs rolled up and one earring; recitation of the Alma Mater by freshmen upon request of a soph (which means that sophs should know if the freshman is right or wrong); and no dating on one week-end.

All freshmen men will not

| shave during the last week of initiation, which really brightens up the campus.

To make sure that freshmen follow initiation rules sophomore deputies will 'roam the halls' looking for violators. Deputies will be easily identified by their badges.

A t the end of the final week of initiation, court will be held and judges will impartially sentence violators to various sentences.

One of the most interesting penalties is that imposed on the girls and consists of washing the steps of the main building with a toothbrush and the boys drying the steps with a feather. Another novel punishment for daters is being handcuffed together all day. Which class to attend is the question most frequently debated by handcuffed dating violators.

Three projects to promote an interest in art at JC and in Fort Smith are being planned by the JC Art Guild, according to Martha Burrow, secretary.

The group plans to sponsor a series of motion picture classes in the new auditorium in the fine arts building. Announcement of the dates will be made when the building is completed, she said.

These films will be obtained, from a collection owned by the Museum of Modern Art in N e w York City. Although no arrange-ments have been made, such films as Birth of a Nation, a Rudolph Valentino and Marlene Deitrich film, and a German mystery f i lm will be shown, according to the secretary.

Second project will be present-ing several art exhibits in the f ine arts building. These exhibits wi l l be of paintings on tour through, the U. S, The club will be in charge of unpacking the paint-ings, hanging them, directing the actual exhibit, and repacking the pictures.

Also planned is a Beaux Arts ball next spring. "This will be m o r e than just a party," Martha said. Further details concerning the ball are yet to be made, she added.

Al l three projects will be open to the public as well as to JC students.

Besides planning the three projects for the year, club mem-bers elected officers at the first meeting held recently.

Named president of the club was Jerry Faught. Martha is also treasurer. Sponsor of the group is Harold Keller, art professor.

The group also decided to change the name of the club. The new name of Art Guild was chosen, Martha said. Formerly the club was known simply as the Art club.

Second meeting of the group is slated for next Friday.

Miss Montague To Be Speaker

Miss Margaret Montague, dram-atics instructor, will speak at the Speech association meeting of the Arkansas Education association meeting which will be held in Lit-tle Rock Thursday, Nov. 1.

School will be dismissed that day to enable approximately eight "JC instructors, eDan E. T. Vines, and President Elmer Cook to at-tend the meeting, according to plans formulated at a faculty-meeting last Friday.

The topic of Miss Montague's speech will be "Ideas for Pro-gramming.''

L. D. Haskew, Dean of the Col-lege of Education at the Univer-sity of Texas, will be guest speaker at the AEA meeting.

A closed circuit television demonstration will also be f ea -tured.

The Editors' Corner Editorially Speaking

Re-evaluation of Draft Needed BY BILL JACKSON

A vital concern of most of the young men of today is the military draft. It has also been a prominent issue in the presidential campaign, as much criticism has been wreaked upon Adlai Stevenson, Democratic candidate for president, for his declaration that ". . . we ought to take a fresh and open-minded look at the weapons revolution and the whole problem of training and recruiting military power. We may very well find that in the not far distant future we can abolish the draft and at the same time have a stronger de-fense at lower cost."

While the Lion's Roar is a non-partisan paper and favors neither candidate, we must agree that the draft situation should be re-evaluated. Though it seems impractical to abolish the draft in the near future, a recent statement by Army Secretary Wilber Bruckner causes us to wonder why a re-duction in manpower is not possible.

Bruckner stated in a recent news conference that the army is considering streamlining an infantry division along the lines of the 101st Airborne Division. This division, de-scribed as a "lean and mean division, stripped of non-essen-tials," and armed with atomic weapons, consists of ap-proximately 11,500 men, compared to 17,300 in a standard airborne division. This is a reduction of 5,800 men in just that one division.

Bruckner did not indicate to what size an infantry di-vision might be reduced; however it stands to reason that a similar reduction as in the airborne division could be effected.

All of this leads us to this question: If one division can be effectively reduced without decreasing its efficiency,

why can't all divisions be reduced accordingly? With the advent of atomic weapons—two more are now being de-veloped, a rocket and an eight-inch howitzer shell, as well as a new guided missile for infantry support—it seems that manpower might be reduced without reducing fire-power.

Commanding officers of the 101st say that the stream-lining of the division "marks the creation of a revolutionary fighting machine which may be the prototype for army divisions of the future—all purpose units, completely air-transportable, which can fly at a moment's notice to trouble spots anywhere in the world."

How long will it be until this idea of streamlining all divisions becomes a reality? How long will it be until al-most every physically fit young man doesn't have to inter-rupt his career or his college training or perhaps leave his wife and family for at least two years of active service in the armed forces and six more in the reserves? How long until a young man can safely make plans for the future without having them shattered by a draft notice, a small piece of paper that will perhaps change his whole life?

Only time will tell, and today's youth is waiting for the answer to these questions.

The Lion Roars With the completion of the

parking lot behind the main building, an idea first suggested by the last year's editor of the Lion's Roar becomes a reality.

Originally the lot was tenta-tively planned to be in front of the Fine Arts building; however Editor Conaly Bedell wrote an editorial emphasizing the fact that "students going to the main building would have to walk twice as far in rain and mud this winter." He suggested a parking lot behind the main building.

He stated that behind the building "is a plot of empty ground large enough to hold half the cars in Fort Smith." This constructive thinking on Bedell's part resulted in a definite im-provement in the school. Not only did it solve the parking prob-lem, but it enabled the college to plan for a neatly-kept campus instead of a dusty lot.

It is gratifying when the paper makes a material contribution to the improvement of the school, and last year's editor should re-ceive a vote of appreciation for his contribution.

Ike Choice of Students

Campus Capers During a demonstration of

petroleum products in psychology class recently, the demonstrator lifted a dangerous explosive from Ms "magic barrel". He looked around and said, "There's only one door here, isn't there?"

"I'll M A K E another one!" came a determined voice from the back of the class.

As ballots for the presidential poll were being passed out in an education class, Shirley An-derson, seeing a place to check Eisenhower or Stevenson and Mr. Miss, or Mrs., asked, "What are w e supposed to do, vote for one of these?" " S u r e , " someone answered.

'"Why, I'll vote for being a Mrs.! Still want to marry me, Charley?"

Thermometers are not the only things that are graduated and

have degrees without having any brains.

Students Are Talking About

Freshman initiation . . . the new parking lot . . . Biology test . . . Miss Speakman's Govern-ment and Western Civilization Tests . . . The badminton tourna-ment . . . The soph and frosh football game . . . Night school enrollment, and campus romances.

Lion's Roar Gets Nat'l Advertising

This issue marks another "first" for the Lion's Roar: its first na-tional advertising.

Previously, only local advertis-ing has appeared; however the paper is affiliated with the Na-tional Advertising Service, which acts as college representative in obtaining national advertising.

On page f ive of this paper ap-pears a full-page ad of the Read-ers Digest. The effect of this ad-vertising can be easily seen: a six-page paper instead of the usual four. This enables the staff to present a more complete cover-age of the news.

The goal of the staff is to pub-lish a better paper, and national advertising is a step forward.

The large number of night school students is encouraging. When a person drives around town and sees more people in schools, churches, and civic affairs than at night clubs and "beer joints" he discovers the reason why America is the greatest country in the world.

A gangling youth walked o the clerk of the court and an-nounced he wanted a marriage license.

"Certainly," humped the young-ster, "There warn't no election— this gal appointed herself."

in Poll by Roar Staff " I like Ike" is the apparent

pass-word around Junior College, according to a poll of students and faculty members conducted by the Lion's Roar Wednesday.

With a total of 236 persons Eisenhower was selected as fa-vorite presidential candidate by 101 persons, compared with 50 favoring Stevenson. Twenty-six persons were undecided, six used write-in votes and one person polled didn't vote.

In a breakdown of the totals, Eisenhower won with the faculty with (six votes, two for Stevenson, and one undecided.

In the student division Eisen-hower polled 88 votes, Stevenson 53, and 25 were undecided.

Both sophomores and freshmen favored the present president as a second term official, the fresh-men with 88 votes to 32, and the sophs by 53 to 15.

Lion's Roar staff members came out strongly for Ike also, voting seven to one, the one opposing being a freshman.

Men out numbered women in the tallies with 56 frosh and 31 soph men for Ike, 32 frosh women and 18 soph women for him; and 19 freshman men and 10 sopho-more men for Stevenson to 13 frosh women and five soph women for the Democratic leader.

Stevenson neared victory in only one category, that of married women. In that division he polled five votes total to Eisenhower's five. He did, however, rack up a dubious win in the frosh married division with two votes to Ike's one.

Frosh men were the largest group to be undecided upon their choice with 14 to three soph men undecided. Other classifications of undecided persons were three unmarried women freshmen, one soph, one married freshman, three married soph women.

Besides the two recognized presidential candidates six per-sons chose to vote for write-in candidates. Two soph men voted for T. Coleman Andrews while four freshmen men, all in the same classroom when polled, chose as a gag vote, Beetle Bailey.

One of the voters, a sophomore, summed up some voters' opinions by not selecting either candidate

but writing on his ballot, "They both stink."

No doubt with the many Eisen-hower supporters in JC many of them wished the president a "happy birthday" last week. A Tulsa World columnist this week commented on a televised birth-day party that not once did any-one wish the president one of the most happy cliches in existence, "Many happy returns." The col-umnist thought that its meaning, far from being campaign propa-ganda, was a good way to give new meaning to a worn-out phrase.

With the landslide choice of Eisenhower locally, people will be wishing him "many happy re-turns."

A l u m n i N o t e s

Have you ever wondered if four years of college is really worth it? Many JC graduates seem to think that time in col-lege is well spent.

Bill Center, a journalism ma-jor who worked on the Lion's Roar staff, is now teaching Eng-lish at Fort Smith senior high.

Franklin Wilder, a graduate of the class of 1932, is now chan-cery judge of this district.

'Bob Blaylock, St. Louis Cardi-nal pitcher, attended junior col-lege the first semester for two years. Blaylock attended school the first semester and played ball the second.

Mary Ann Schmidt, a graduate of the class of 1951, is now a child welfare worker in Camden.

Wright Hawkins, a junior col-lege graduate, is now a prominent Fort Smith doctor..

Pat Porta, in the class of 1941, is frequently seen by television watchers. Porta is the program director at KFSA-TV and does some announcing.

A woman flees from tempta-tion, but a man crawls away from it with the cheerful hope that it may overtake him.

Good Attitude-Review-Notes Help Make Better Grades

Have you ever wondered how to make those grades that bring a parent's smile of pride, and the dean's smile of approval?

Jack Schoeppey, student body president, likes the friendly at-mosphere of the lounge for his studying. Shirley Windsor, secre-tary of the student board, does most of her home work while relaxing to instrumental music. Ralph Sanders, Lion's Roar man-aging editor, uses organizations class notes, and constant review to earn his grades.

"I must allot my time care-fully," Schoeppey says. "Besides going to school, I have a job, and I can't manage a lot of time to study.

" I always listen intently in a lecture course and take notes on important information. During my free periods I go down to the lounge and prepare for my next class by reviewing notes and reading the lesson."

"The most difficult thing about

my studying is getting settled down," Miss Windsor points out. "Because I have a part-time job, I must study during the late evening. TV and family conver-sation is very distracting so I shut myself in my room, play some in-strumental records on the phono-graph, pull off my shoes, and begin to read.

" I spend a lot of time at the public library doing outside read-ing, keep up daily assignments, and carefully review my notes."

"Keeping my work properly or-ganized makes studying easier for me," Sanders explains. "Good class notes and constant review of the subject matter make tests less difficult.

"A regular time set aside for studying is a worthwhile habit," he says.

Al l three agree that a proper attitude toward your studies and good personal study habits will make those transcript grades a pleasure to see.

JC Student Princess of

BY GARY MORLEY How does it feel to meet and

talk with a real princess? After standing in ankle-deep

snow for an hour, with my top-coat wrapped tightly about me for protection against the bitter cold, I found out.

"Good afternoon," Denmark's Princess Margrethe said as she stepped from her limousine. " I hope your health is good."

"Welcome to Denmark. I hope you will enjoy your stay and re-turn many times."

"Thank you," I replied in uni-son with the four other members of our touring party.

"Will you please excuse me? I am on my way shopping." She smiled, got back into her car, and waved as she went off.

Margrethe is a remarkable portrait of radiance. She is tall, statuesque, and perfection in beauty. Her sparkling blue eyes contain the dignity of her posi-tion as well as the ebullient ex-pression of youth.

Although my informal audience was brief, the warmth and poise which the 21-year-old Margrethe displayed as she greeted us will doubtless win great admiration for the princess, who is destined to become Denmark's queen.

The palace in Copenhagen, where we met her, is the resi-dence of King Frederick IX, the father of Princesses Margrethe, Benedikte, and Anne-Marie.

The palace itself is imposing, upon first sight, largely because it violates every youngster's dream of how a castle should appear. An immense structure,

it is of grayish-brown stone and tends toward a gloomy and de-pressive nature. Inside the w^lls, however, it abounds in splendor and dignified atmosphere. The priceless works of art, the lovely tapestry, and gifts from Napoleon are magnificent.

As we stood discussing the qualities of Margrethe, 12-year-old Benedikte came out to scamper about in the courtyard. Looking pink and happy, she laughed and romped in the snow.

As we left I turned and looked back. The palace no longer ap-peared gloomy and depressing; it seemed alive and compassionate, listening to the voice of a happy child playing in the snow.

AWS Plans Supper For All JC Women

To help all JC women students become better acquainted with each other, AWS will sponsor a buffet supper Nov. 2, in the sol-lege lounge.

Several committees have been appointed to be in charge of ar-rangements: Party committee: Carol Caldwell, Dixie Miller, and Judy Curtis; transportation com-mittee: Roberta Goodman, Emma Jo Brown, and Donna Gail Schrier; housing committee: Ella Jean Wagner and Mary Houston.

A project committee, to be in charge of tne lounge redecoration, was also named. It consists of: Betty Blevins, Nan Reese, and Carolyn Cox. The Circle K club will help in the project, according to Shirley Anderson, AWS pres-ident. She said the lounge will receive a coat of paint, Venetian blinds, and new furniture.

Warning to husbands: If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.

NEVER BETTERED

Drama Club to See Play at University

Eighteen members of Jacque and Jester, the dramatic club, will leave by bus at 7 o'clock to-night for the University of Ar-kansas where they will see a play, "A Girl Can Tell," according to Charles Robertson, club presi-dent.

The play, is being given by the Blackfriars, an honorary dram-atic organiaztion.

The cost of a ticket is $2.25 which includes a roundtrip to Fayetteville and a ticket to the play.

This is the first of three trips that the group will make to see University plays.

Regular Attendance Stressed by Parta

Urging regular attendance at rehearsals, for all members of the pep band, H. J. Parta, acting di-rector said, "The reason for this is, that I need to know the in-strumentation, for I cannot pick the music for the band unless all are present."

Rehearsals are held each Sun-day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the junior college.

The pep band will play at the games during the basketball sea-son. The opening performance will be December 1, at the Fort Smith Boys' Club.

Martha Burroughs, a flute player, has switched to the piano for the present.

The band is concentrating on popular tunes and marches.

Various Activities Feature Hayride

Group singing, a snipe hunt, fun and laughter characterized the first Music club social event for the year, a hay ride, held October 6 at Johnson lake, near Mansfield, according to Miss Hattie May Butterfield.

In a bob truck members of the Music club, their dates, and their sponsor, Miss Butterfield, left the junior college campus at 8 p. m., and returned about 12.

Each member brought his own food, and everyone ate together. Cokes were furnished by the club.

Arrangements for the hay ride were made by Roy Law, presi-dent, and Joyce Phillips and Mack Angel, social chairmen.

Student Board Plans Initiation Week - Parties

Freshman and sophomore par-ties, in connection with freshman initiation, highlight the imme-diate plans of the student board.

In their first meeting, held last week, the student representatives also discussed cheerleader try-cuts, a schedule for future meet-ings, plans for a campus clean-up week, and a school Christmas party.

Plans for freshman initiation remain incomplete, but Johnny Pitcock, board member, said the sophomore class will hold a meet-ing in the near future to decide upon the details of the annual event. "The freshman class will give the sophomores a party to show there are no bad feelings about the initiation," he ex-plained.

Pitcock also stated that cheer-leader tryouts will be Oct. 31, during free period. Four cheer-leaders will be chosen by student vote. Anyone wishing to try out must notify one of the board members before Oct. 27, accord-ing to Pitcock.

The student board will meet twice each month during activity period. They will also meet every fourth Tuesday night at the home of Miss Lillian Speakman, dean of women.

Petticoats Cause Congestion in Halls

The girls at Ward high school in Kansas City have agreed not to wear crinolines under their skirts.

School authorities asked them not to. They said the bouffant petticoats caused congestion in the corridors, and students were unable to get trom one class to the next in the allotted three minutes.

Press Club Elects Gary Morley Prexy Gary Morley was elected presi-

dent of the Press club last Mon-day. Other officers are: Stanley Winford, vice president, and Nan Reese, secretary-treasurer.

Wide Job Range In Night School

Occupations of night school students range from surgical technician to lumber-yard worker to finance clerk, but these people from all walks of life have but one common goal: to better them-selves.

An outstanding example is Hank Cordell, owner and operator of the Grand Avenue cleaners. Cordell, in his first year at JC, is studying business law and math. However, he doesn't plan to go into law practice, and the courses will be of little practical value in his work. " I just want to better myself," he stated.

Other night school students plan to go on to four-year col-leges. Among them is Franklin Smith, one of the 25 Fort Chaf-fee soldiers attending night school. Smith, who is finance clerk at the fort, is studying com-position and math, which will be of value to him in his work. He plans to attend Weatherford jun-ior college in Texas and transfer later to TCU, majoring in either physical education or English.

Gene Bell, head of the parts de-partment of the State Highway department here, plans to attend the University of Arkansas. He attended JC summer school and is now studying law and math. Bell, who lives in Van Buren, plans to major in accounting at the university.

A few students are attending day school part time and also go-ing to night school. Among them is Paul Gordon, who is carrying six hours in day school and study -

ing English and office machines at night. He also plans to attend the University of Arkansas, ma-joring in business.

Freddy Colman, an employee of Sears, Roebuck & Co., carries 11 hours during the day and four at night. Among the subjects he is studying are business, law, typing, and public speaking. " I would like to attend a four-year college later," he admitted, "but I don't know whether I'll get to or not. However, the course in public speaking will help me at Sears."

Sgt. First Class Bob Humphrey, who is studying English and his-tory, plans to go to a four-year college, although he plans to make a career in the army. He is pres-ently a surgical technician at Fort Chaffee. Humphrey pointed out, "A college education will give me more opportunities and enable me to advance farther."

Though men outnumber women three to one in night school, women are still very much in evidence there. Among them is Miss Willine Reed, who is begin-ning her second year at JC. A stenographer at the extension of-fice, she is studying art and his-tory. Miss Reed lives in Van Bu-ren.

Perhaps the JC student who is fartherest away from home is Bernado Lopez. Lopez, stationed at Fort Chaffee, is from Puerto Rico. He is studying history and English.

JC Student Plans To Seek Revenge By Mock Suicide

Suicide anyone? Jim Newton, of the Lion's Roar, thinks he will. At least he plans to make it ap-pear that he did.

"Last week Dodie Evans, a per-sonal friend of mine, had a mu-tual friend call me and say that Dodie had been in an automobile accident," Jim said. "He acted so serious that I really believed Dodie was dying from injuries."

After Jim found out it was all a joke, he decided to try to get even. Last week when he went to a Bentonville National Guard meeting, where both he and his friend are members, Jim dropped a number of hints about despond-ency over his work and life in general.

So . . . Tonight Dodie Evans will re-

ceive a telegram that his good friend Jim Newton has just ended it all. Besides that, he intends to have the story printed in news form and send the friend a clip-ping.

Dodie Evans will be having his usual busy Monday morning at the newspaper on which he works, and will be unable to at-tend the funeral.

Former JC Star Marries Local Girl

Bob Blaylock, former junior college basketball and baseball star, was married October 3, to Miss Barbara Sue Thompson, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Thompson.

Mr. and Mrs. Blaylock will make their home until February in Havana, Cuba, where Blaylock, a St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, is playing winter baseball. Blaylock is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blaylock.

Paul Reed was telling about the girl who objected to kissing. She had heard that it's dangerous because you can pick up eight million germs in a single smack.

"But," Reed told her, "you could give that many away your-self and break even."

It's fun to try. Maybe you can top other students in colleges across the country . . . and you can match wits with the editors of Reader's Digest.

Why do far more college graduates read Reader's Digest than any other magazine?

Why is it read each month by at least 60 million people, in 12 languages—Arabic, Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish?

Can you spot in a typical issue of Reader's Digest the uni-versal human values that link scholars, statesmen, scientists, writers, businessmen, housewives? Can you pick out the articles that will be most popular with the average Digest reader?

You may find.. .you know more about people than you think! Here's all you do.

Faster, Better-shooting Team Predicted by Coach Charles

Avenue

"We will have a faster and bet-ter-shooting basketball team on the whole than last year, when we had the best season percent-age-wise in the history of junior college," stated Coach J i m Charles.

Twelve men appeared Monday for the first day of conditioning exercises prior to actual basket-ball practice which will begin Oct. 29. Ten or 12 more will prob-ably try out when practice be-gins, Charles added.

"We'll take advantage of our speed by using a fast break, and we'll also use a screen-type of-fense," Charles said.

Two lettermen are returning this year, Howard Patterson and David Ross. Patterson, who is a guard, entered JC at mid-semester last year and played in nine games, scoring 159 points for an average of 17.7 points per game.

Ross, who at 6' 2" is one of the tallest men trying out, played in all 12 games last year. The forward from Lavaca scored 71 points, or 5.9 per game.

"Our toughest competition this year will probably be Tulsa freshmen, College of the Ozarks,

Hendrix, Texarkana junior col-lege, and Eastern Oklahoma A. & M.," Charles pointed out.

Charles emphasized that actual basketball practice does not be-gin until Monday, Oct. 29, and urged students to try out. "We're going to have a "B" team this year, so that if a person doesn't make the first team, he might be able to play on second team."

Group Sees Rubber Made

The making of rubber products was demonstrated before several groups of junior college students, Wednesday, by Glen Graddy, chairman of the Oil Industry In-formation Petroleum Institute.

Graddy made synthetic rubber for the students by using three materials, liquid latex, rubber, vinegar, salt and water. Mr. Graddy poured these into a test tube and in a few seconds pro-duced several rubber balls.

Products of petrochemicals are used for such things as the pro-pellent which forces shaving cream from a can, sacks to warm vegetables, shingles, tile, news-paper ink, and other items.

The talks were in conjunction with oil progress week being cele-brated this week throughout the nation.

Mr. Graddy told the group that synthetic rubber can be as hard as bowling balls or as soft as a nipple on a baby bottle.

The demonstration was closed by taking a sheet of apparently white material and dipping it into a bottle of dye. When it came out, it was three colors, red, white, and blue.

The material was actually three types of materia] sewed together. Each material reacted differently to the dye to produce the three colors, explained Mr. Graddy.

TV's Outnumber Bathtubs in Homes Now comes the startling in-

formation that bath tubs run a poor second to television sets in popularity.

"There are now more TV sets than bath tubs in American homes," says Robert S. Bell, ex-ecutive vice-president of the Packard-Bell company.

United States manufacturers in eight years have produced 49 million TV sets, he said.

Wood Arena Forerunner of the Cotton Bowl

in Dallas, Texas, was a wooden bowl built in 1921 to handle 15,000. The first capacity crowd saw Baylor. and Southern Meth-odist play in the wooden bowl in 1923.

The recent presidential poll in JC once again proved that "there's one in every crowd." One person wrote on his ballot, "They both stink," four people voted for Beetle Bailey, and one person simply wrote, "Why waste every-one's time?"

Schools Need More Rooms

The United States office of edu-cation estimates that public schools opened this fall with a shortage of 247,000 classrooms.

It said this many were needed to handle increased enrollments alone, making no allowance for rooms lost by fire, storm or ob-solescence.

The office estimated 32,700,000 pupils enrolled in public schools this fall, a five million increase since the fall of 1952. At 30 pupils a room, it said this would call for 167,000 new classrooms since 1952-53 for new pupils alone.

With a 1952 backlog estimated by the office at 312,000, this would make a total need of 479,000. However, the office estimates 232,000 new rooms have been built, leaving 247,000 still needed.

Mural Sports Action Begins

To create interest in intra-murals, the methods in physical education class is sponsoring an all-school badminton tournament, according to Coach Jim Charles.

Games will be played each day during free period, beginning Monday. The court will be set up on the campus. Both men and women will participate.

The deadline for entering the tournament is noon today. Coach Charles urges women to enter.
