The newspaper and transitstrikes, which left most citizenswithout news or means of gettingto work and gave Seattle the re-putationof being the most strike-bound city on the coast, didn'tshake the College students' de-termination to get their educa-tion, a check on attendance rec-ords revealed yesterday.

Throughout the three days ofthe strike only about five percent of the student body was ab-sent from eight o'clock classes,ar'i by nine o'clock attendance1, iA returned to normal.

Students found may ways ofsolving their transportationprob-lem. The more fortunate onesmanaged to get into car pools andride to school somewhat in thestyle of a sardine. Getting sixpeople in a coupe is no problemat all if the only alternative iswalking in from Ballard.

The solid line of cars parkedaround the College during thethree days gave evidence thatmany students had succeeded intalking their folks out of the fam-

The end of the newspaperstrikealso was hailed enthusiasticallyby comic-hungry SC students.During the news blackout, a fewfunny sheets from out-of-city pa-pers were brought from the fa-culty house and posted on thebulletin board. The first editionsof Seattle newspapers featured allthe back issues of the funnies, andstudents at last were able to getthe complete low-down on whe-ther Dick Tracy ever caught"Itchy," if Mrs. Meany is stillbeating Annie Rooney, and whe-ther Daddy Warbucks really pos-sesses the secret of the atomicbomb.

Under the sponsorship of theAssociated Students,theevent willbe the first semi-formal of thecollegeyear.Longdresses andcor-sages for the women and darksuits for the men will be properattire for the evening, accordingto Mercedes Siderius, co-chairmanof the dance.

Thumbnail sketch of an inveterate hiker: "I.don't like to hike, Ihate getting up early, andIcan't stand being cold. But Ialways go be-cause I'm afraid of missing something. And ev-ery solitary time, nothing happens." Guess that'sthe secret of the Club's strange appeal. Forseven years now, we've been waiting for some-thing to happen.

We don't want to be warming over last week'shash, but you'd be surprised how many peopleconsider themselves "the powers that be" aroundhere.

The executive's desk has its selling points allright, but sometimes it's rather nice to be in aposition to hand out the beefs instead of takingthem all. Like, "We think it's about time thetop men got on the; ball. Doesn't tradition carryany weight around here any more? Where arethe blowouts of yester-year? We want a Specparty!"

With the sex ratio standing at 1 to 1.7 (bi-gosh, that's what they tell me!) the various or-ganizations of SC anticipate the growing pre-valence of the male influence in their activities.We're not trying to rush you, fellas, but event-ually we're expecting you to take your old jobsback. Not that the women intend to be rele-gated to a minor position, by any means. Butcarrying the whole bulk of the responsibilitytends to 'become wearing. In other words, don'tforce us to prove we're not the weaker sex.

Far be it from this column to go erudite onits readers. (Not that most of its readers wouldknow the difference. Nobody who knows whatthe word means would be caught dead reading thisstuff.) But we wonder what some people aroundhere have against old Dan'l Webster. In due re-spect to the King's English of happy memory,the word isn't chairmans, it's chairmen! Or arewe just being individual?

We detected the subtle touch of the masculineviewpoint in Tom Pettinger'» definition in Meta-physics class last Wednesday. "Potentiality," hepondered, "that's when a thing has what it takesto be."

Nancy Swarva suggests the frontispiece of theyearbook bear a picture of Abraham Lincoln,under the caption, "Now he belongs to the Aegis."

Release of the senior-oral question sheets thisweek disclosed at least one obvious fact. Forreasons as yet undetermined, the faculty has adecided reluctance to lose us. It's going to be alittle embarrassing though, trying to explain tofuture generations what ever happened to theclass of '46.

Maybe it was just coincidence, but we couldn'toverlook the fact that for months the Chapelhasn't been as crowded at the noontime devotionsat it was last Wednesday, — when the photo-grapher, oddly enough, happened to be takinga picture. We wonder why there wasn't the us-ual round' of meetings that somehow can neverwait till 12:10. Maybe the veteran was justifiedwho challenged the Catholicism of the averageSC student body of today as compared to the stu-dent of five years ago. It isn't exactly inspiringto stand outside the Chapel door at twelve o'clockand hear the passaing parade of excuses why "Ijust can't make it today." If this is Catholic ac-tion, what has Communism to fear from us?"

*♥" * * *It seems Gene Voiland has worked out a clever

variation of the old candy and flowers routine.When he wants to make a special hit with hisbetrothed, he sends her a big bouquet of celery.There might be some logic behind it, at that.He probably figures it goes well with her carat.

We hear the ticket committee for the dancetonight has proposed a clothes drive to alleviateacute shortages among returning veterans. "Whatare you gonna say," asks one puzzled solicitor,"when they tell you they'd love to go, but theyhaven't a thing to wear?"

Revolution has hit the Spectator office. Forthirteen years now we've met the time-elementsquarely, battled it on its own ground, won andlost on equal terms. And now, without precedenceor provocation, we get calendars. Not one calen-dar, mind you. Not two calendars. Not even threecalendars. Four. The precision of it all is terri-fying. No more date lines mixed, or games mis-scheduled, or dances set ahead. The revolutionis complete. The era of the Fall Informal— Jan.29th is dead. "What happened?" we demandedof our editor-in-chief? "Well," she ruminated,pleasantly, "I guess w» overdid it."

True, we are mildly amusedby the prototypic antics of theRoyal Physician, the Royal Re-corder, and the Royal Time-keeper. But more often we areconsciously bored by the auth-or's inability to sense how far

Obviously, Mr. Thurber real-izes that while such a plot andnothing more might easily pla-cate all little boys and girlsof the knee-high variety, yet ademanding and adult audiencewill hardly regard mere prettyfancyings as worthy of theirconsiderations. As a result hedoes paint his simple fairy-lorewith the sophisticated colors ofhumor and satire, but unfortun-ately he spreads the paint a lit-tle thin.

The plot resembles its sis-ter-plot of that fairy tale lastread. When a cornered deerproves to be a beautiful maidenwho, in. spite of her seemingregality, has a "memory oftrees and fields and a memoryof nothing more," the perplex-ing problem of her true iden-tity presents itself to her fourcaptors, King Clode and hissons Thag, Gallow and Jorn.Valour is tried when the dubiousprincess assigns to each youtha perilous task on conditionthat the winer shall have herhand and her heart. And al-though the three princes simul-taneously succeed in fulfillingtheir mission, yet in the finaltest of faith in the girl herself,it is Jorn who proves victorious.

Finally, the book is to belauded on the grounds of moral-ity; for the putrefaction of theusual Hex element, the authorhas nicely substitutedthe whole-s<>nleuess of a simple love story.On the whole, adult readers willnot begrudge the three hours'reading time which they mightspend on "Hie White Deer."

Merits are not entirely ab-sent, however. Even though wewould not recognize either Thagor Gallow or Jorn at any for-mal banquet, at least we wouldnot miss King Clode. Ifat timesthe balanced style verges onthe monotonously apparent,there is compensation to befound in the frequent sprinkl-ings of mellifluous verse. Evenhis spoonerisms, though some-times protracted and seldomcomparable to those of ColonelStoopnagle's, succeed in occa-sionally evoking an appreciablegrin. And because in "TheWhite Beer" things like themelted snowflakes which soarback to heaven in the form ofa million fireflies, are not at alluncommon, a work should alsobe said in praise of Thurber'simagination; it is amazing.

to go with that character de-

lineation achieved by too ob-vious and too stereotyped atechnique; for example, eventhe admittedly ingenius gibber-ish of the Royal Recorder, nomatter how apropos his person-ality, is still only gibberish.

By1M. A. LaVoyStatistics have not been compiled to show just what people

expect from their fairy tales, and it may be unfortunate that soclever a writer as James Thurber did not wait for such informa-tion before attempting "The White Deer."

If the Uttle boy with the bowand arrow doesn't cooperatewhen I'm looking for a datefor a dance then I'll get Inthere and do a little shootingmyself. So announcement of the

ASSC "Winter Wonderland,"followed shortly by the an-nouncement of the AWSSC tolowas the occasion of a brush-upin tactics.

Said "brush-up" waa due toa drastic revision in the ratioaround and about Seattle Col-lege.Ithas been said that during

the past few years all.a gen-tleman had to do was to hintthat he intended to ask a co-edto attend a function under theauspices of one of the organiza-tions at Seattle College and hewas instantly mobbed.

This year the situation issomewhat different. The mar-ines, so tospeak, have landed.

Hence the tactics.A wise soldier always makes

a reconnaissance tour beforeplotting his campaign. Isightedthree potential targets.Itis suf-ficient to say that they weretypical Seattle College women.A tallblond wearing glasses andthat seniorish look, a friendlybrunette who knows all aboutbooks, and a red-headed mathmajor.Iselected the first named as

my first objective. She sits nextto me in psychology class. Iin-troduced the subject of associa-tion of ideas, explaining that itwas a very handy little gadget.After the class Iaskedher whatshe thought about going todances. Then I casually pro-posed that we go to the ASiSC

formal Friday night. Finally Iasked her to think about it.

She did. The next day shecame and told me that she hadmade up her mind. She wouluaccept the bid of the man whosat on the other side of herIn psychology class. (Moral:Next timesitnext to a girl whosits next to a wall).

Imused over the thingsIhadjust learned asIapproachedmynext "target." She was aboutto set out on a nice little five-mile hike,Iwas informed. So Istarted out with her. This timesubtlety would be the cue. Iopened the conversation withthe subject of exercise.We chat-ted on about this and that, fin-ally approaching the topic"dance as exercise." As we dog-trotted up the last hill Igasp-ed out, "What do you thinkabout going to the formal withme?"

She replied, "I'vealready pro-mised to go withone of the boysonthe basketballsquad."Istop-ped trying. They sent a SaintBernard out to succor me thenext morning.

But a good sailor never givesup the ship. The next morningwith my heart high and myhead light, Ientered upon asessionin the Cavern. This timemy destination was a girl at acrowded table.The fact thatshewas the only girl at the tabledidn't awe me. Ipulled up achair, stuck my straw in herbottle of milk, and asked,"What about the dance Fridaynight?"

Well, Imanaged to get a datefor the dance after all. You'll

-be seeing me there with mycousin.

It is one of the biggest bargains offeredat Seattle College. We might just add thattoday is the last day that Aegis subscrip-tions are being sold.

ReconversionFer the past four years we have

been dreaming of the post-war SeattleCollege. We said that part of our wareffort consisted of keeping alive thethings our servicemen expected to findwhen they returned. Termination ofwar, we visioned, would arouse oursleepy-eyed student body.

Thus far, reconversion has begun atthe College only in a limited way. Theveterans aye struck a serious and in-spiring note. The almost equal enroll-ment of men and women has broughtback some of the pre-war atmosphereof masculinity and competition. Butpost-war plans call for completion ofprojects contemplated a long time ago.

A few.members of the student bodycontinue to knock themselves out car-rying on tradition. There still is needfor a flag and flag-pole. The ninthlife of the school song ended last year.Formation of an art club to increasethe number who draw posters and plandecorations for various functions isstill a good idea. And revision of theDrama Guild is even a better sugges-tion.

Back to normalcy now, we shouldbe able to re-arrange our pursuits.We waited four years for this post-war era so let's place first things first.SC is an institution of learning, andwe are there to be educated. We willhave to fall in line with those whohave the heart, the will, the courageto carry on their education.

Seattle College is proud of the tra-dition it has acquired in a compara-tively few years. If realization of ourdignity as SC students is not suffici-ent impetus to drive us to unite inconstructive activity, then we are just-ly called a lackadaisical student body.Attainment of the place Seattle Col-lege should occupy in this post-warworld demands the greatest consoli-dation of every student's energy.

There's Still TimeA part of SC that every student at the

College will want to take with him whenhe leaves will be contained within themaroon-and-white covers of the 1946Aegis. It conveys a recollection of pastachievements and present activities, andextends a promise for a glorious future.

The Seattle College Chieftainscame home Wednesday In highspirits from their 5-day invasionof the inland empire. The thrice-flattenedChieftains scored an-up-set Tuesday night by beating pen-tr;il Washington College of Educa-tion at Ellensburg 42 to 41.

The initial local win came afterthree straight losses, two of themto the star-studded team of East-ern Washington College of Educa-tion at Cheney, and the other, a61-45 loss to Ellensburg on Mon-day night. The games marked thedebut of the Maroon and Whiteinto the Western Inter-CollegiateConference.

The three-car caravan, led byCoach Joe Budnick and AthleticDirector Father Francis Logan, S.J., included ten players and amanager.Four games wereplayedin fivedays and over 700 mileswere covered on the trip.

Highlight of the tilts was theexcellent playing and point-gath-ering of "Big Bob" Truckey, po-tential conference all star. Truck-ey hooped in 67 points in the fourgames for a 151 average, thusmaking him one of the league'stop scorers.

The outstanding floor-work anddirection of hard-driving HowieLang was a sign of more goodthings to come from this ex-armyman.

" Filling the vacancy left bythe marriage of Mary McCoy,Mary Ward will start work as &clerk in the College bookstore inthe near future. She was a stu-dent in 1943-45.

" Ensign Roland Leadon re-ports thatnavy life is a busy rou-tine. Stationed at the Naval AirStation in Pensacola, Florida, heis in charge of the officers' mealsand the food and liquor supplies.Roland attended the College from1941 to 1944, entering the V-12program at the U. of W. He re-ceived his commission from NotreDame last month.

"Visitors in Seattle last weekincluded Mrs. Leo Schneider, theformer Dona Gene Moberg. Donaand Leo, who was a coast guards-man, are now making their homein Yakima.

"While in France, Gene met

a classmate, Bob Parent. Bob also

was a chemistry major at the Col-lege before his entrance into theservice in 1943. At the presenttime he is in Austria in the Armyof Occupation. His address: Sgt.Robert W. Parent,19147194, Co. C,142 Engr. (C) Bn., APO 411, NewYork,N. T.

Chieftain Leads LeagueAnother highlight was the fine

showing made by Bob Truckeywho is now leading the league inpoints scored with 62 for the firstfour games.

On the brighter side was thefact that the Chieftains provedthey do have the stuff to win Infast competition, contrary to ma-ny skeptics' beliefs. (This repor-ter was No. 1.) It was especiallyheartening to see that we couldpull one out of the fire after threesuccessive defeats on a long, hardroad trip. This shows that theChieftains have real spirit and afighting heart. They are a teamthat will be tough for all comersfrom here on in.

With these thoughts well Inmind the Chieftains have a lot ofwork to do before they will be pre-pared to meet Cheney again nextweek.

What started out to be a Ma-roon and White invasion by thebrave Chieftains turned out to bemore of a "black andblue" retreatas our boys returned home Wed-nesday with a 3-1 count againstthem. The local squad found thatIn the fast Winco league, thegame is really played for keeps.

808 NELSON (pre-dentalfreshman-— Iam just out of theservice) Ihave gone to a lot ofdances, andIfind the College mix-

ers are real fun. They are smooth-running and the atmosphere isgood. But Iwish that the ventil-ation was a littlebetter and thatthey would play a few of the morepopular records.

OARMEL CERVETTO (historyfreshman)

—Although I wasn't

able to attend the last mixer, Ican say from previous times thatCollege mixers always promise agood time. Ithink that it is fool-ish to even attempt to hold adance in the Engineering Buildingwhen we know that such a largenumber of students will attend,and when we have such a finedance hall as the Knights of Col-umbus Colonial Room at our dis-posal.

By B. H. GoodmanLast Friday's Gavel mixer proved that, when it comes to dances,

we definitely have outgrown the Engineering Building. It was pro-bably one of the best-attended mixers in SC history. Still, as wecompare the figures, we find that less than one-third of the presentstudent body attends the dances.If the lack of patronage is due to lack of appeal, the dances

should and could be made more attractive, say numerous Collegi-gians. So the question was asked: How do you think that Collegemixers and dances could be improved? Here are a few students'suggestions:

TEN YEARS AGOIN THE SPEC

Arthur Olmer, SC graduate of'35, speaks on education at thebi-weekly Sodality meeting.

On the beard-Judging commit-tee for the Spec mixer are Made-line Murphy, Margaret Peabody,and Peggy Dougherty.

"The state is only repaying adebt for services rendered. Sincesociety as well as the individualwill benefit from this program Ithink this change In the govern-ment allotments was a wisemove," concluded Vern Robinson,recently discharged army lieuten-ant.

The twenty-five year age limitwas removed, makingall veterans,regardless of age, eligible for fullbenefits. Also deleted was theclause requiring proof of educa-tional "interruption." Laws con-cerning subsistence for disabledveterans were amended and addi-tional pensions may now be re-ceived by them.

"Less than $66 is not enoughand any more is too much," rea-sons Larry Evoy, another studentformerly in the MTO. "Without ita lot of people now in collegewouldn't be able to meet the ex-penses of a college educationwhich they &?j enjoying becauseof this amendment."

Under the new provisions theveteran is entitled to educationfor a period of one year plus theamount of time he was in actualservice, not to exceed four years.However, he now has nine yearsinstead of seven in which to com-plete his education.

Another opinion typical of thetax-conscious returned servicemenwas the remark of Sid Bloom-field, a vet of the MediterraneanTheatre of Operations. "$65 willtake care of all my needs for amonth and then some. I'm forkeeping the subsistence allotmentas low as possible so that whenI'm supporting my grandchildrenI'll be able to meet the taxes in-curred by this bill."

Most of the 180 veterans tak-ing advantage of thebill this quar-ter at SC saw the amendment ofsubsistence allotments in light of-increasing tax burdens. The newlaw allows $65 per month (for-merly $50) beginning January 1,1946, for veterans with no depen-dents.

"We might as well take advan-tage of the 61Bill," says JoeRell-ly, former technical sergeant inthe quartermastercorps of the ar-my. "We'll pay for it in the longrun anyway.$65 is giving the sin-gle man a real break but anyonewith dependentscan hardly maikethe grade on $90.

Oregon. Mrs. Cullison attended the

living in Bend.

The marriage of Miss Mary(Peggy) Allen to Malcom T. Wat-

son was solemnized Monday atSt. Rose Church in Portland. Thebride, a student at SC two years

ago, wore a white gown and car-ried an orcrid and a white prayerbook. They will reside inPortland.

BETTY COX (cadet nurse atProvidence)

—Dances are always

nice to go to but the studentsseem to stick to their owncrowds,leaving us nurses little chance tomix at the mixers. We don't havean opportunity to meet many stu-dents in class, and as a resultwhen we go to a College function

we feel like strangers. Iwish afew of the fellows would mix alittle more.

DICK FIjAJOUK (liberal artsfreshman)—Ithink that the Col-lege dances are perfect. Ienjoythem all, but I think that weshould try to hold them in a larg-er hall. This would attract morestudents and Ithink everyonewould have abetter time. We usethe Engineering Building now be-

cause we have no place to go, butI'm afraid too many will cease at-tending the dances if they areheld under these crowded condi-tions.

That SC students, who havebeen working the past few years,do not properly estimate our li-mited resources Ican easily un-derstand from watching the freeand easy flow of money from theirpockets. But not all of us weredrawing pilot's pay and none ofus were in the shipyards.

To be sure, "the girl wouldun-derstand." But both of us wouldbe embarrassed.PersonallyIpre-fer to take in a movie.
