Are you behind your student gov ernment ? It’s not a students’ gov ernment if you aren’t! Listening to some of the “griping” that students engage in, you might believe that they consider themselves entirely separate from any “govern ing” that goes on. But your student government officers were elected hy the students, and every student had the privilege of voting. Governing a student body and trying to do it well is by no means an easy job; it takes a lot of will-power to do what you know is right when you also know a lot of people are going to hate you for it. From all appearances, there’s been ah abundance of criticism for the student government, but very little co-operation. Which do you think is ^oing to do you and the rest of the student body the most good ? COMMUNISM VS. DEMOCRACY Yungnien, China, 1947. Their throats were dry and their stomachs empty. The illuminated loaves and fishes of Biblical times became a reality. They were produced not by a prophet, but fell from airplanes; the food landed with such force on roofs and people that many build ings suffered large holes and 22 peo ple were killed. The people ivere in such a state, however, that food was appreciated even if it did dam age the city and kill people. This M^as war. The Chinese have been engaged in war steadily for twelve years, and they are still feuding, fighting, starv ing, and dying. They exist in a civilization that goes around in a vicious circle. Chiang Kai-Shek intends to go down in Chinese history as the founder of a modern democratic state. Meanwhile the Communistic party has gripped tight on many. The ])eoj)le turn to whichever jiarty provides for them now. One party must win, for it is evident that com munism and democracy cannot mix. This sick nation cannot pull out of the situation alone. Either the American people support the Nation alist party in China now and gain SAINTS’ SALLIES REMEMBERING . . . Girls on third Sniedes taking sun baths . . . “Busy” signs on all the doors . . .

At 7 :30 Monday morning Eve lyn “Ebo” Nelson thought that she was going insane. She had heard bells ringing all night and couldn’t imagine what was happening. And no wonder, for the girls on first floor West Wing had set and hidden eight alarm clocks in “Ebo’s” room on Sunday night as a practical joke. They ivent off one after another all night. The joke was complete when “Ebo’s” two roommates, ivho were let in on the fun, swore solemnly to her that they hadn’t heard a thing 1 later, or she sinks deeper and deeper, and in j)lace of a great ally we gain two unfriendly Chinas. For humanity’s sake or even for our own personal gain, we should support Chiang in his attempt to bring democracy, jjeace, and life to the millions of Chinese. WANTED . . .

Which bag do you want?” Perhaps our telephone answering may never come to this, but there certainly has been a trend toward sacks late ly. They’re wool jersey, come in assorted colors, and are— that’s it—dresses! The most elementary “seamstress” can make them, and they can be coaxed into shape by a belt or sash. Of course, they are rather “j\ieii-from-Mars” looking and cannot be worn in their natural state, as one enterprising Saint Mary’s girl undertook to do at a recent social gathering. Now that sacks are realh^ sweeping the school, many a girl can be found fumblin’ clumsily ivith needle, thi-ead, and thimble to create one of these oddities. All in all, when one wants to escape from S h a k e s p e a r e, themes, and xyz’s, one can “pack up her troubles in an old jersey bag and sew, sew, sew!” spotlight phisticatioii . . . “Chubby” Coving ton’s sparkle . . . Virginia Smith’s athletic ability. Put all these quali ties together, and there’d really be a Saint Mary’s girl everyone would be NOTICING. If you are planning to pledge a fraternity this semester, Ave advise you to see the following girls con cerning the fraternities and their mottoes: Zeta Psi—anybody in general and Betty Adkerson in particular—“Let’s have a party!” SPE—Joan Ilassler — “Frozen foods for your future.” Pike—Betty Bowles—“Well, now here’s the deal.” KA—Mary Leah Thorne—“We’re Avell prepared.” Sigma Nu—“T”—“’scuse me.” ATO—Jo Ann Darden — “Don’t think it hasn’t been.” DKE—Myrtle Alston—“Let’s. go home and talk it OA'er.” Beta—“Sandy” Spilman—“That’s a good question; we’ll use it on the next quiz.” Kajipa Sigma — Martha Best Yorke—“I’ve got the A-bomb hots for you, darling!” SAE—Musette BroAvn — “Made any nickels lately?” Phi Kappa Sigma—Gene Hines— “Come on oA^er.” Sigma Chi—Marilyn lYhetstone— “What a character you turned out to be in your old age!” Phi Deltif Theta—“Bo” Boaz— “You are so-o-o right!” Phi Gam—Dot Leak—“Oh, say now!” Chi Psi—Betsy EA'ans — “We’re all for you.” BroAvn eyes and a dazzling s® are the most outstanding featuffij the girl AA’hom the Spotlight Pj on this month.
