The high school basketball tourney here this week end will probably fill our campus with potential students. It wouldn’t be a bad idea at all for us to go out of our way in order to help some student, c*r to be pleasant to him. We may bring or chase away many students who are consider­ing Flagstaff.

Speaking of basketball, we recall last week’s Sawdust column, where the Pine stated that the teams were just five men against five. Tempt; and the University both discovered that the weak “Little Sister from up North” is still able to sneak across a victory once in a while, even though the Jacks were the decided underdogs in both series. Those things do happen, you know.

Speaking of basketball struggle again, we recall to you the fact that the Mad Hatters will be putting over their Sweetheart Dance in the very near future.' Taylor and Bury Halls have already begun to worry about the possibilities of a “late date.” Our suggestion to the girls, however, is not to delay too long in asking him for a date, because—someone might get fooled if the boys say “no” and the girls can’t even get dates for a coed dance. « '

La Cuesta Honors Cree In Yearly Dedication Selection

Has Been AssociatedUndoubtedly the University of Arizona had an un­

usually good group of Glee Clubs, with plenty of strong voices for each section. But the Pine’s belief is still that Dr. Ardrey can work up a better show than that of the U. Ardrey’s group will suffer through weak bass i).nd soprano sections, but the Flagstaff choir has yet to put on a show that didn’t leave an impressed audience. Again it is a matter of the “Little Sister from up North.”

"The Yearling" Is The Best Seller For 1938

According to information found in the January 21. 1939, issue of the Publishers Weekly, the “best selling novel of 1938 wa$ ‘The Yearling’ by Marjorie Kinnan Raw­lings. Published on the first of April, its total printings have reached 265,000 copies, including those printed for tne book club.” In second place on their national best seller list, made from the monthly reports of representative bookstores in every section of the country, carefully compiled upon a percentage basis, is “The Citadel,” which was third in 1937, and ‘‘has never been off the list of the first ten in fiction during its 16 months' existence.”

This same article i informs us that “all the 1938 fiction b<?st sel­lers were written by well-estab­lished authors, responsible for previous successes, except ‘And Tell of Time,’ a first book by Laura Krey, and ‘My Son, My Son,’ whose author. Howard ̂ Spring, well-known English literary critic, had written other novels but none which has had so much success in this coun­try. In non-fiction, the titles were

lers. Four of them fall into this classification, while philosophy, humor, adventure, anti self-nelp psychology are the subjects of the rest. "'Fourteen of the 20 leading titles of 1938 were written by Americans, four by Engljsh, one by Chinese and one by French writers. Five of the novels and four of the non-fiction best sellers are by women authors.’’

U. Of A. Mixed Choir Presents Program Mon.

Received By A Full House In Auditorium

The University of Arizona’ mixed Glee clubs entertained larpe crowd of students and town residents in the college auditor-

here Monday night with a program featuring vocal and in­strumental solos and a swing quin­tet.

Ably directed by Rollin Peace, the choir sang, among others, selections from Johann Bach’s “Sacred Chorus." The A Cap- pella group (rave a rendition of “I am Music," by Charles Gilbert Spross. Solos offered were "Cra- covienne Hantnsique," played on the piano by Miss Lucille Lock­hart, and a violin solo, “Obortass Mazurka" by Miss Joan Adams.

from “Mignon’' was sung French. A tenor solo by Dallas Uhrig, president of the organiza­tion. was the only male solo. Uh­rig sang “Elle ne croyart pas”, also from “Mignon.”

The program was delightfully concluded with some modern music, termed by Mr. Pease as “low-brow music.” Although Rol­lin Pease made this statement, he later admitted that he docs like modern music because he realizes that it too will be remembered, after it is dead. The modern pieces were "swung out” on a trumpet, clarinet, tenor saxophone, string bass, and a piano. This “session” mot the approval of all students attending. Ramon Hub- bell gave an impersonation of a Navajo tribal dance.

Monday night's presentation was the ninth in series of eighteen such prgrams to be' given on the 1939 tour of the University of Arizona’s combined glee clubs. The group, numbering over forty, spent the night in Flagstaff as guests of A. S. T. C. After the concert, music students were hon­ored by a party in the North Lounge.

With The College For Quarter Century

SuccessfulStudents Who Studied Are Rewarded In The Cafeteria Thursday Night

and with success during the term were rewarded for their ef­forts by an Honor Roll banquet, which was held in the college cafe­teria last Thursday.

An enjoyable program, worked out mainly by Miss Doris Johns, president of Associated Women students, ’combined with the fine steak dinner to make the evening delightful for all attending. Speak­ers for the evening were Miss Mil­dred Kiefer of the Training school, and Dr. T. J. Tormey.

Miss Johns told of the history of the Honor Roll dinners and oth­er facts concerning them. Miss Kiefer, head of /Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education, spoke on the "Relationship of Scholarship in Life.” Dr. Tormey gave an entertaining talk on the relationship of Honor Roll students to education in the future. In the course of the speech, the presi­dent of A. S. T. C. told a little story about a certain nearby uni­versity. A man. looking for that far-famed school wandered around the streets looking for a big build­ing likely to be it. He asked of a man near the entrance, “Is this the university?" The man re­plied, "No, this is the state institu­tion for insane. This is not the university. You have to show im­provement before you can get out of here!" Dr. Tormey, however, would not vouch for tne truth of this story.

by a piano solo, “Impromptu,” by Dorothy Hester.

Dr. Mary A. Hill announced that she would recommend a list of judges to Mr. Connelly soon.

Don May, Window Rock, and Weston Tenney, Flagstaff, were selected as the team to represent the school against West Virginia. The visiting team will be allowed to elect the side which it wishes to argue for. This debate will be the first debate at home with an outside team this year for the local squad.

The program will include several overtures; marches, a novelty, and other varieties. “Egmont," a great composition of Beethoven, heads a list of pieces likely to prove for­midable to the most polished mu­sicians. Since experience is de­sired, such numbers as “Egmont” are to be included in the reper­toire, however.

As yet, the towns to be visited by the Lumberjack band, popularly known as the Singing Lumberjack band, have not been definitely scheduled. Alfred Anderson, direc­tor of the group, desires to make a round trip through Winslow, St. Johns, Showlow, Globe, Miami, Su­perior, Phoenix and back via Pres­cott. -This would give Flagstaff much publicity in these districts, which, incidentally, could supply this school with numerous students.

Calvin Greer, assistant manager of the band, has sent letters to schools enroute but sufficient an­swers have not been received as yet to warrant such a long trip.

‘This year we have dedicated the La Cuesta to Mr. Cree in recogni­tion of his long period of service to the Lumberjacks of Flagstaff.”

Mr. Cree came to the college in 1915, when what is known as Ari­zona State Teachers college at Flagstaff today, was a struggling young normal school. Although jt was a co-educational institution in those days, men were very scarce. In fact, according to Mr. Cree, in 1920 the school established a rec­ord enrollment for men with 11 .residents in Taylor hall, the men’s dormitory.
