W e're glad to note that some of the students are taking advantage of the editorial column to air their grievances, not that we’re trying to promote agitation. However, if some student thinks that there is a bad factor on the campus we’re more than glad to print hia opinion. W e do, however, prefer to get varied opinions, so if someone writes something you disagree with, don’t fail to write your opinion in answer to it.

The Y. W . C. A . is sponsoring a dude and cowboy dance this week end, and asks that everyone wear appro­priate clothes. These dances take a lot of preparation, but they can’t be successful without the.cooperation of all the students attending. . Let’s make this dance look like the Pow Wow.

The Pi Kaps have started work on their annual vaude­ville show, which is to come off pretty soon. Entry blanks can be found in all future issues of the Pine, and remember that the prize money will go to the organization putting the most time into working out the best act. Sounds compli­cated, but it only means that we hope every campus organiza­tion will be represented.

A lot of the students don’t know what they’re miss­ing by not turning out fo r some of the intramural bas­ketball games. The games are free and offer top notch entertainment in the way o f good playing— and bad. But you will get some good laughs out of all the games, and we do mean that as a promise.

Something to look forward to will be the Pi Omega Pi Ice Carnival next Saturday at the city pond. While the Associated Student organization sponsered several snow car­nivals two years ago, this is the first time in a long number of years that a campus society has held a winter carnival of any type for the benefit of the entire student body. There­fore let’s all turn out at the pond with our skates and hope that P i Omega P i’s “breaking the ice" will lead to many more such activities.

Looking over the political situation, we can say that things still look pretty rosy for the two teachers colleges. W e still hope that the schools will become liberal arts colleges, and from where we sit it looks as though they will. W e ’ve got our fingers crossed.

Debaters Select Teams To Attend State Meet

Teams which will represent Flagstaff at the state collegiate debate tournament in Tempe Feb­ruary 11-12, were chosen Wednes­day evening after the close of the symposium debate during the week­ly meeting of Pi Kappa Delta, de­bate fraternity, and the debate squad.

Four debaters will be sent for both the upper and lower divisions of the tournament. Representing Flagstaff in the upper division, which is composed of juniors and seniors in college are Allen Pen­der graft, Phoenix; John Connelly, Chicago; Richard Worthen, Flag­staff; and Carlotta Woodburn, Flagstaff. The lower division de­baters will be Helen Becchetti, Cottonwood; Ann May* Window Rock; Clovis Hill and Robert Shir­ley, both o f Prescott.

The question which will be used at the state tournament, and which was used at the symposium debate during the meeting of the squad, is the national collegiate debate question for the year, which is, “ Resolved: That thefederal government should cease using public funds for the stimu­lation of business.”

Other Arizona colleges which will probably be represented at te tournament are the University of Arizona, Arizona State Teach­ers college, at Tempe, Gila Junior college, and Phoenix Junior col­lege.

This is the second, tournament which tho debaters have partici­pated in this year. A t the Cali­fornia practice tournament, held in Bakersfield in November, the

upper division team of Allen Pen- dergraft and John Connelly won over the college of the Pacific, while the lower divfaion team of Ann May and Helen Becchetti took a decision over Reedley Jun­ior college.

Next Wednesday’s meeting is to be in the form of another sym­posium, with the members of the squad who will go to Tempe parti­cipating. The other members of the group will act as critics, help­ers. and judges for the debates between now and the tournament.

During the business meeting of the club, reports were heard from the committees which are arranging the annual Northern Arizona high school debate tourna­ment, which is sponsored each year by the debate squad. It was announced that invitations had been sent out to all schools of

The meeting was held at the home of Dr. Mary A. Hill, debate coach and sponsor of the club. Acting as critics for the debate were Miss Klonda Lynn and James J. Lynch, both of the English de­partment of the college, and Louis Wetzler, of Flagstaff High school.

In addition to those already mentioned, the following students also attended the meeting: GlennNolan, San Bernadino, California; Lenora Hansen, Flagstaff; Weston Tenney, Flagstaff; Edna May and Shirley Donovan, Seligman; Don May, Window Rock; Bill Simon- sen, Flagstaff; Myrtle Porter, Snowflake; Florence Neal, King­man; George Gleason. Seligman; and James Drake, Hayden.

Kassel Finds Birds Plentiful On Campus

“ Hey, Kassel, you won’t see any birds out there; they've all gone south.” A t least once a day this statement is shouted across the campus to Harold Kassel who is working with the birds on the cam­pus for his Master's degree. But he seldom answers the shout, be­cause he is close to some bird and doesn’t want to frighten it.

With the cold and snow here it might be reasonable to expect “snowbirds” on the campus. They are here now and are in the major­ity—birds the size of a sparrow but gray in color and with white outer tail feathers which can be seen when they fly. Some have black heads, some have gray heads, others have brown backs and some have gray backs, but they are all "snowbirds” or Juncos. Usually they are seen feeding on the ground where the snow has melted away near the cabins and behind Gam- mage library, although they are found all over the campus. Along with them may be seen two other birds.

One in a white-crowned sparrow, whose name describes him. He looks like an ordinary sparrow, but has a white crown with a black streak on each side. There is also

_ black streak through the eye. His call is a plaintive but sweet "cheep.”

The other is a tree sparrow. Again this bird looks like a "spar­row.” but has a brown crown on his head and a dark spot in the cen­ter of his whiteb reast. His call sounds something like "too-lay-it.” These two birds can be seen almost any hour of the day in the bushes around the Library.

I f a trip is made out to the end of the pasture where the pine trees are quite numerous several more species of birds can be found. The noisest is probably the smallest— the pygmy nuthatches. Since they have grayish backs, grayish-olive crowns, whiee underpants and are only two-thirds the size of a soar- row they are hard to see at first. However, they travel in flocks of about a dozen and allow you to come pretty close after they are spotted so you should get to see them running up and down the trunks o f the trees and out to the tips of the branches.

The Chickadee can usually be found in the same area with this bird and since he calls out his own name he is easily identified. He is almost as large as a sparrow,

sometime* the Price of Life.

Chickadees are enjoyable to watch as they are fearless and allow you to come within a few feet of them so that you can watch them go through their acrobatics. They

The fourth annual Pi Kappa Kt silon amateur show will be hel Wednesday night, February 15.

This show was first presented In the winter o f 1936 and was so suc­cessful that plans were then made to make it an annual affair. The various acts in the first show were enthusiastically acclaimed by the entire student body. First place was taken by Fred Dockstader, a former student, now teaching at Emerson grade school.

The second year the show played before a record crowd which entire­ly filled *the auditorium. Twelve acts were presented, which repre­sented most of the clubs and clas­ses of the college. The outstanding performer of the evening was Jeff Ferris, who was acting as master of ceremonies. Mr. Ferris is an alumnus of this college and is now employed in Flagstaff. Present plar.s arc to make him M. C. of this year’s show. The winning number was a local arrangement of Bar­nacle Bill the Sailor, by Dorothy Harrington and Ben Flores. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Pi Kap band.

The third year the show received as enthusiastic support as it did the first two years. Jeff Ferris was again the master of ceremonies. The Girls’ trio. Elizabeth Phelps. Irma Merrill and Nancy Crandall, was given an unanimous vote by all the judges for the first prize mon­ey. Jimmy Gault and the Lumber­jack Collegians were second place winners. They gave an original rendition of tne hill billy ballad. "The Martins and the Coys," and the “ Snake Charmer." The Play­makers took third place money. They gave a humorous and enter­taining play, "H men played cards as women do."

Two other students who are now attending school, Junius Bowers and Wilson Riles, also participated in last year's show.

This >—ar the Pi Kaps plan to limit the show to 10 acts. Several organizations have already made inquiries as to time and space for staging acts. Plans are being made now for the show and every effort will be put forth to make this the greatest show yet. Ten dollars will be given as first prize, $5 as sec­ond, and $2.60 as third. Those who expect to enter the competition this year are urged to make their entry early. An entry blank appears alsewhere in this issue of the Pine.

■plying to questionnaires je n f to those who were invited.

Since the problem of securing information on contemporary auth­ors and other of the sometimes lesser prominent figures of our world today is often a puzzling

] one, it is to be hoped that the f three consecutive volumes of ! America’s Young Men covering the j years 1935-to 1938, and the two j volumes of America’s Young Wom­en. for the same period, will be

’ very useful additions. The sub- 1 titles not that these are “The Official Who’s .Who of Young Americans.”

The 'Etymological Dictionary of the'-'English Language, 4th edi­tion, represents a thorough study of this subject by W. W. Skeats over a period of twenty-five years. The Dictionary of Foreign Phras­es and Classical Quotations, edi­ted by H. P. Jones, contains idioms, proverbs, maxims, -mot­toes, etc. from works of great writers in seven languages, given inthe original with english trans­lation for the foreign ones. The The ISpanish-English and English- Spanish Commercial Dictionary by G. R. MacDonald, 4th edition, is a compact volume with emphas­is on the commercial spanish. Musical Instruments, by A. J. llipkir.., ;» a beautiful volume containing descriptions and ex­quisite' full page color platesdrawings of historic, rare andunique musical instruments.

After refreshments, G l a d y s Walker and Gerry Stiles led devo­tional exercises under the topic of “ Understanding Ourselves.”
