NEWS COMMENT
Russia talks
but world
still wonders
Germany disappointed
but allies are puzzled
say commentators;
By Woerner and Steele.
Russia spoke Tuesday, but the
world still wonders where 'she
stands. Germany is reportedly dis
appointed that Stalin hasn't prom
ised her further support; many
Germans had been predicting that
Russian Premier-Foreign Commis
sar Molotov would announce open
military support of the nazis.
The allies and America puzzle
over the tone of the address. It
branded England as the aggres
sor, "now," because she continues
to fight for Poland and it berated
America for extending her moral
support to Finland. Altogether it
was the most anti-British speech
yet to come from the Soviet, yet
it fell far short of German hopes.
Russia disclosed her territorial
demands upon Finland which are
aimed to give make the great Rus
sian city of Leningrad more safe.
Soviet land, would be given Fin
land in exchange, and also the
frontier would be demilitarized.
Finland refuses the demands, but

I'd rather be beautiful, coeds
say, but men want brains
By Paul Svoboda.
Beauty is beauty and brains are
brains and never the twain shall
meet, that is, only on very rare
occasions. This theory, which is
still held in repute, enables the
average person to conceive or mis
conceive a human's intelligence by
the line of his or her profile.
When the phrase "beautiful
blonde" is uttered, almost invari
ably the adjective "dumb" accom
panies it. Inversely, when a man
is described as being tall, bony,
Ichabod-faced, and wearing horn
rimmed spectacles, immediately he
is stereotyped as w genius or "brain
wave."
Such observations are obviously
not all true. But the person so
blessed by nature that he posses?
both these qualities so adamant in
public respect is sure to find his
place in the sun.
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER
HAVE, BEAUTY OR BRAINS?
Elaine Jordon, ag sophomore
Beauty everytime. Because It
gets you more places more times.

1901 directory was an odd
thing with no phones listed
C. D. Hayes, secretary of the
university "Y," displays a copy of
the 1901 student directory as the
most interesting and oldest copy
in his file of old editions of the
directory.
Conspicuous by their absence in
the old directory are the 'phone
numbers only the students' ad
dresses, Greek affiliations and
names are listed. In the front of
the book the professors and other
employes of the university are
listed by name and department, in
cluding Chancellor F. Benjamin
Andrews, Ellen Smith (registrar),
C. Bessey, Samuel Avery, and D.
B. Brace.
Among the advertisers in the
directory, which measures 4x8
Inches, are the Arrow Head, "a
university cartoon and illustrated
monthly," The College Settlement,
and Professor Wilson's shoe shin
ing shop " which featured "two
chairs for the women and six
shines for a quarter."
Thirteen social sororities and
fraternities appear in the 1901 di

You can't look at brains, but you
can sure look at beauty. I'll tako

Lillian Wind, arts and science
freshman
Beauty. Don't ask me why, be
cause I don't have any brains. Get
it?
Jack McPhall, bizad sophomore
It's just logical that a person
with intelligence is of more use
to society than an empty-headed
woman killer. There aren't many
jobs in this world that require
beauty and if there were you
couldn't hold them. If there was
something missing above the neck.
Marjorle Jones, teachers freshman
If you have beauty you don't
have to have brains. I'm in teach

without beauty I'd probably wind

Clinton Jurerenson. student mem

mesh of ineligibility and thereby
Drevented his post from being sub

Not an absence marred me coun

to have been of great import to
the major political factions, each
of whom were eyeing tne poten
tial plums jealously. However, tne
plums shriveled to nothing but the
rearraneement of officers within
the governing body. Evidently this
shake-up of officers was or no
momentous importance to faction
leaders as onlv one candidate was
nominated and the election was
unanimous.
