ALL DAILY unstinted editorials are the opinion of the

The Council
keeps faith
Yesterday the Student Council voted unani
mously to place election of the Junior-Senior
Prom committee on the fall ballot, thus allowing .
the student body to elect members to the com
mittee. In this action, the Council kept faith with
the students which it aims to represent, inasmuch
as last week the campus Indicated its wish to
have this done. At the same time, the Council
voted to withdraw from future sponsorship of
the Prom inasmuch as it no longer felt willing
to back financially a committee which it did not
have the privilege of appointing, and no one can
deny that if that is their wish, Council members
are well within their rights in so doing.
The sole interest of the DAILY in this matter is
that the Prom committee, as an important activity,
be elected by the student body instead of by a small
political group. It does not feel that the Council
in its action yesterday did anything to hinder the
accomplishment of this end. All that remains is to
find a new sponsor for the Prom. The Innocents
society already has stepped forward to indicate its
desire to become that new sponsor. In a letter to
the faculty sub-committee on student organizations
and social functions, which has jurisdiction over the
Prom's future now, the Innocents point out their
qualifications for the job, and it seems altogether
likely that under that organization's guidance the
Prom can be continued in a manner that will be
satisfactory to everyone.
After all, that Is an objective on which no one -yet
has disagreed to present each year a party
which the student body will feel is worthy In
every recpect to officially close the university
formal season.

Every week has its Friday! Winchell has his
girl Friday. In short, we are looking for a girl
Saturday.
- .
Yes, we are looking for a girl any Saturday and
a girl whom we shall know as Saturday. Nothing
like getting all that you can while you're at it.
The girl "Saturday" is one who can dish up a
column in a pinch and grace our offices in the
meantime. Nothing like having the offices graced.
Beauty queens need not hesitate to apply.
Especially beauty queens with cars. That means
any gal who drives a car. Because any gal who
drives a car is a potential beauty queen. At least
ehe will have the major qualification. But that's
In the realm of irrealmacy.
"Saturday" must be intelligent. "Saturday"
mustn't be like the little lass who thought the Battle
of Sedan was a necking party. "Saturday" mustn't
be so lazy that she won't exercise discretion. Being
a tree lover, if "Saturday" has a willowy figure,
ke. "Saturday" must be a good worker. Remem
ber, the model succeeds only after years of attireless
efforts. If Saturday has these qualifications, she'll
be worth her wit in gold.
Seriously, the only qualification is that the gal

RUSSIAN AWAKENING
Indication that the Russian people may be be
coming aware of the fact that there is a war is to
be found in the report of Spencer Williams, secre
tary of the American-Russian chamber of com
merce. Speaking in a radio broadcast from London,
he pointed out a few facts which he says journalists
have not been allowed to release from Moscow.
According to his statement the great mass of
the Russian people are not aware that their army
is engaged in military activities, but are at the same
time beginning to connect the returning streams of
wounded soldiers, the high costs of living these, it
is said, have mounted 35 percent in the last six
months and the declining standard of living.
All this indicates that conditions must indeed be
critical in a nation which has never been over sup
plied with food. The available food has become so
restricted that peasants are coming from the hinter
land to seek food in Moscow. This in a land where
the problem of food was one of the principal bases
upon . which the communist revolution rested. It
appears that the miracle of organization which
German experts were to provide has as yet failed
to materialize, at least as far as the civilian popu
lation is concerned.
RELAXED TENSION
Tension in one sector of the Balkans seems to
have abated somewhat tonight. King Carol of Ru
mania probably breathes a bit easier as a result of
the announcement that the Russians and the Ru
manians will sign a non-aggression pact.
Tension in Rumania over the question of Bess
arabia, which Rumania gained from Russia after
the World war and which Russia has never re
nounced as part of her territory has been great for
a period of several months. Today it appears that
some disposition of this problem will be made. The
Russian legation in Bucharest announced that For
eign Commissar Molotov would soon visit the Ru
manian capital to sign a non-aggression pact, thus
freeing Carol from one of his multitudinous
worries. '
In spite of King Carol's blustering attitude dur
ing his recent visit to Bessarabia, in spite of his
announced determination to defend this territory to
the last man, it is probable that he will more than
welcome any guarantee which the Russians may
condescend to give. The strength of such a non
aggression pact will have to be proven, for pacts
of that nature enjoy the most varied lives in these
modern times.

A poll taken recently under the auspices of the
"Daily Texan" definitely settled the question of
whether the coed came to college to get her
"M.n.S." or her "B.S." or "B.A."
According to confessions of 60 graduating
seniora, 85 per cent of the girls will work the' first
year out of college; 10 per cent will be married;
and 5 pet cent will go home.
The "Pitt News" figured out how long It would
take & student to go through their Institution if
he were to take every course offered. They found
that the student would have to take 55,320 credit
hours of work.
If a student had the brains of Elnstien, the
age of. Methuselah, and the wealth of Croesus he
could take the maximum number of hours allowed
In the two regular and . specie sessions of each
year, ard finish the course in D2 years.
Last Sunday one of the most varied congre
gations of planes ever assembled took to the air
in Columbus, Ohio, and flew to Athens, Ohio, about.
60 miles away. The tour marked one of the largest
air tours ever staged by any college flying club.
Members of the club are Ohio State students who
have enrolled in the CAA course offered by the
government. Students enthusiastic about their
program organized the club and mapped out a
series of eight trips to be taken during the spring
semester.
