SUB Starts New Schedule

war Discussed at Stage Crews Tuesday Assembly

"The Al_lied Offensiv~ in North work on Play The Student Union bu.ilc:Ung will

be opened on a slightly different schedule from now on, according t.o Miss Mildred Leigh, director. The coffee shop v,;ll close after in­termission time on the nights the Union is open for dances. On Sun­day the entire building will be locked aiter 7 o'clock, the time the coffee shop closes regularly.

The main reason ior this action is to make it easier for the stu­dents employed in the coffee shop. When the coffee shop is open until 1 o'clock it means nearly 2 before all the cleaning up is finished. This is hard on the students who have to go to an 8 o'clock class the next morning and the number of patrons in the shop after inter­mission time is almost negligible. By closing the entire building on Sundays the janitor will not have to stay until 10 to Jock the doors. Miss Leigh says the Student Union building is for the students and the administration aims to please. However, it is not felt that this recent action will act as an in­fringement on the students.

Africa" will be the main topic of discussion at a general assembly Tuesday, February 16, from 10 to 11. "·The Geography of North Africa/' "The Leaders of North Africa" and "The Strategy of the North African Campaign" will be the subjects of the speakers.

George Biddle is the chairman of this assembly and the speakers will be Don Gumprecht, Joe Pahl and Dan Cox.

Air Wardens Finish Class

Muddled Meanderings

Some 35 students and housemo­thers recently completed a short course in air raid warden technique. The class was given down town and was also open to townspeople. From the campus were the house­mothers, two members from each sorority and two from each fra­ternity. The course consisted of three meetings each about three hours long, during which definite

The winter production of the dra­matic department of Montana State College will be the play "Light­nin'." It will be presented Feb­ruary 22 and 23 at the Ellen The­ater.

Bob Haight, a freshman, is the production manager for this play. He graduated from Gallatin Coun­ty High school where he was active in play production for four years. For the last two years he was stage manager. He holds the posi­tion of stage manager for the dramatic council.

The staging committee is Patty Flynn, Peggie Boller, Jack Mack, Gordon Lindner and Eleanor Van­ntta. Those on the lighting com­mittee are R. W. Berthof and Marie Watson. The property committee is Marion Galster, Ed Holmberg, Jean Romine and Jack Mack.

Jean Templeton, Alice Treweek and Jean Romine make up the prompting committee. Scenic ar­t ists are Patty Flynn and Peggie Boller. Mary Embleton and Har­riet Schug are the costume mis­tresses.

Army Man To Meet Students Monday

Garrett Livingston, representa­tive for the special army-sponsored meteorological training programs, has written the registrar that he will be at the college Monday and Tuesday, February 15 and 16.

He is anxious to interview stu­dents v:ho may be interested in this special program. He says that he shall be glad to see students in the AERC, AAF, ROTC (except sen­iors) and civilians. He is espe­cially anxious to meet those who have completde successfully one full year of college mathematics through analytical geometry.

Students interested in it should watch the bulletin boards for an­nouncement of time antl place of meeting.

how loud they yell. His contention is no doubt in the main correct, in view of the attendance of uni­versity students at the games here.

Meet Tragic Death Capt. Peterson Is The no doubt famous Golder also

intimates that to use his phraseol­ogy "our (the U's) beautiful friend­ship with the local yokels is about to come to a disastrous end." This purely platonic friendship has never existed so far as is known. As the Reverend Klemme said in his .fine speech of a recent date, "When I went to school, they ( the U) couldn't even get on the campus; let alone have the whole student body refrain from hooting them down on any kind of a playing field." Up until now the general concensus of opinion has been: tol­erance is a wonderful virtue. Some people's faith in humanity, how­evtr, bas been badly shaken.

T,, sum it all up, this disserta­tion is justifiable by the fact, "U" people, we still love you. Oh, yeah! We might add the Grizzlies lost their face as well as--

Three Montana State College stu­dents met violent death during the past 10 days in accidents. All three were regular, full-time undergrad­uate students at the college.

The first accident was that of Frank Marmont, a freshman sec­retarial student from Shelby, who died of a gunshot wou1nd while hunting jackrabbits south of the college. Frank was a recently ini­ated member of Sigma Alpha Ep­silon.

Last Sunday morning Eddie Dan­iels of Townsend and Donald Mathews of Burns were killed when their car plunged from the road about five miles west of Liv­ingston on the Bozeman-Livingston highway. Daniels was a junior student in agriculture and a mem­ber of Kappa Sigma fraternity. Mathews was also a junior and majored in agricultural education.

Detailed to School Capt. Carl A. Peterson, senior

instructor in the military depart­ment, has been detailed to a nine weeks' course at the Command and General Statl' school at Leaven­worth, Kans. This school is the highest conducted for military in­structors during wartime.

Upon completion of this course, Captain Peterson will return to the military depa1·tment about the mid­dle of April.

Little lnternaf l. To Be Eliminated

' This year for the first t ime since it was established 13 years ago t he Little International Livestock show at Montana State College will not be held and in all likelihood the event w ill not be resumed until after the war, it was announced today by J ames Krall of Lewis­town, president of t he college Agri­cultural club, which sponsors t he show.

Decision to cancel the 1943 Little International was reached by the Ag club only after serious consid­eration was g iven to wartime diffi­culties that would enter into stag­ing an exposition this year, Krall said.

NOTICE

The intramural swimming meet will start Wednesday ( toni irht) at 7:30.

A schedule of four games in five nights faces the Bob­cats of Montana State College when they meet the North Da­kota State Bisons on Friday and Saturday and the Denver University Pioneers on the following Monday and Tuesday.

Now holding a top record of 10 straight wins and also being labeled a point-a-minute team in the last few games, the Bobcats will find the most serious threat to these records with the four games coming this week. Stretching out the number of consecutive wins will be made especially difficult with the heavy schedule.

North Dakota State will be a team to not only try to snap off one record, but to also hold down the scoring for the 60-point stand. Most of their season games have shown low scores, which means that they specify defense among their quintet. Denver University will be out for the most points in any way possible with their scores of the season running much higher.

MSC Selected By War Commission

Montana State College was one of 281 non-federal schools, col­leges and universities selected by the War Manpower Commission for utilization by the war a nd navy departments for the special ized training of men and women needed in the armed forces.

The college was approved by the war department for the training of engineers and aviation cadets. Just when the first trainees wilt arrive here as well ns what steps are being made to house them and what changes in the college organi­zation are to be made to accom­modate trainees is still unan­nounced.

MSC Enrollment Drops Only 300

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor:

This is an excerpt from a letter from a boy in camp which has some good ideas for all of us.

"You asked me if I had any sug­gestion as to what your college gals and guys can do to help in the war effort and despite my thinking about it, it still is a bard question to answer. Directly, I would sug­gest you answer my letters as. soon as possible.

"For the army as a whole, I think I can give you an answer in gen­eral. Continually you hear about this or that for which we are fight­ing. One of those is, indeed, the privilege of going to school and gaining knowledge. Many in the army envy college students because it means better preparation for liv­ing our lives. You who still are able to use this privilege should make the most of it by working harder and harder, still playing hard, too. This war is not a simple sort of Wldertaking . Administra­tive, mechanical and every other outfit in the armed forces is com­plicated. In order t hat each oper­ates efficiently and speedily those in key positions must be able to use their knowledge in their spe­ciarzed courses. This war may end soon or may last for years. Now we have people capable of holding down key positions, but continually I.hey must be replaced, and Lhat is where a coltege man or woman well trained will come in to help bis country."

NO SCHOOL SPIRIT Boeing Course TEA THIS WEEK

For the first time in quite a few years MSC has a basket­ball team that is not only winning consistently but that also play a brand of ball that provides a good show for the spec­tators. In spite of the efforts of Coach Breeden and the play­ers in working out a really good team, the attendance at the games has been ,·ery low. In the past, when these "non· attenders" were asked why they didn't go to the games the answer was invariably, "I don't think the tei:.m is much good and don 't like to watch them." Not even the most critical could use that excuse now with the Cats' wins standing at 10 straight.

It isn't the purpose of this editorial to attempt to force anybody to go any place against their will, but it is quite ob­vious that most of the students like basketball, and so why not turn out? Also, it does seem only fair to the team that we take a few hours a week off from other activities and support a team that take off 25 or more hours each du1·ing the same week for pradice.

Another thing that students have been in the habit of doing, in spite of many announcements advising them not to, is get up and leave a few minutes before the game is over. If nothing else, snch conduct is defnitely rude and not becom­ing to a college student. Put yourself in the place of the players. They are working bard to provide you with recrea­tion and yet you walk out during the game. Is that sports­manship?

High School Week '-

Montana High School Association, feels with the president's office that no attempt should be made to hold either high school week or any form of schola1·ship contests at the ronege for the duration of the war. It would be unwise to hold a high school week this spring or in the future because of tho transportation difficulties, the ex­pense involved and the doubt con­cerning the size of enrollment at the college in future years.

Montana State College is repre­sented in the December issue,of the Publications of the Modern Language Association of America by an article by Dr. Alice Harmon of the department of English. The article is entitled "How Gre~t W~~ Shakespeare's Debt to Montaigne. The article shows that although Shakespeare undoubtedly knew Montaigne's Essays, since be bor­rowed a passage from them for one play, "The Tempest/' the argument advanced by some Shakespeare stu­dents that the dramatist was pro­foundly influenced by Montaigne bas no foundation. Passages rn his plays that have been traced to Montaigne were probably based upon commonplaces which were familiar to all in the Renaissance who had the slightest acquaintance ,vith formal reading.

Dr. Harmon ca1ls attention in a footnote in the article to a mono­graph which she will soon have publi:;hed, "Shakespeare's Treat. ment of Passion."

Friday night it was Jinx Ander­son and \Vill Jorgenson who staged a scoring duel with tosses from all angles to score 20 and 16 points respectively to pace the rampant Bobcats to an easy victory with Coach Breeden playing nil bis men. The Stachwick brothers were lost on fouls after good performances and l1IcC01·mick and Dogterum played stellar ball until relieved.

The opening minutes were close and the Bobcats had to work hard to build up a first-half margin that was dwindled shortly before the half to 30-24. Afte,· the mid way rest, the Bobcats came back on lhe floor and dropped in 11 field goals before Jensen, high scoring Ben­gal guard, put one through the hoop. It was too late and the Bob­cats were stopped again only by substitutions. .i\layne and the '\Veils brothers were good for the invaders.

Saturday's contest was one where the Bobcats got Lhe open­ing points and neve1· let the lead close in during the conl~st. At the intermission the Bobcats were out 32-23 in the lead and they pro­ceded to stretch it further with the opening of the !alter half. Reserves played for t.he Bobcats, but the Bengals fought their way closer to the home quintet near the end o.f the game. '

Tom Stachwick got back into the scoring spotlight with 16 points and Dogterum and McCorntick were next with 14 and 11 1·espec­tively. Jorgenson collected 10. Ray and Rex Wells made 11 and 10 for the losers and Mayne was the best man on the floor for the Ben­gals.

games at least once and Capt. Bob Stachwick has made himself in­valuable on the li11e of defense to make a stroke of powe1· that will do well against toppling any oppo­nent.

Last week's series with Idaho Southern proved that scoring was easy for Bobcalers and when two men get to seeing eye to eye with the hoop on one night the oppo­nents have a hard time being on the long end. In preparation for the tough four games, Coach Bree­den is brushing up on the defense, which was ragged on Saturday night, and close in passing will add worries to the visiting teams.

THE MONTANA EXPONE 1T

Sport Talk

by Honk Young

It is begining to look as il just about everyone over at the Uni­vers1ty is pu.U.ing in his two cents about the stuff written to journal­ism stude·nts in the Kni111in. The row seems to have developed into whether or not the students of the University are school·spirited OT

not because ~ome of them thought the coiumn written by the popular University goat, Dick Kerns, wasn't just the thing lo write because it hurt the feelings of the State Col­lege--what are they talking about?

This writer being an engineer­ing student, the cow-collick idea never did hold any sense when the fact also stands out that this school is engineering th1·ee. to one. Hav­ing spent some time in the fair city of :Missoula, my opinion is t.hat we have a better time over here and that statement doesn't need further explaining to any higher education student. Please take my word that the Ag students don't sit home week ends and read the "heffer journal."

I guess we are supposed to get mad about this whole affair, but ~omehow I think it is pretty funny in a subtle way. Maybe I don't k"llo,v the duties of a sports editor, but my idea is to first get the news and then write it as is. A column is a commentary on the sporting news and often gives opin­ions-never should it be used as n spot for degrading, insulting, un­patriotic, high-school like trash.

When you, Kerns, said in a short paragraph nt the end of that stuff something about the fact that the Grizzlies had been winning a lot and therefore there was no rea­son for them not winning from the lowly Bobcats, I h."new that what

For several years now more and more students are wiping their feet outside of main hall here and less and less are clubbing at Missoula. But, students of Montana Univer­!'li ty, don't le.t your school spirit down. Keep the ffre of school spirit burning-even to the last man.

Well, now that the comedy is over, let's get down to the main feature~ and it appears to be a twin bill and a tough one. The biggest problem facing the Bobcats seems to be, "Can we stop both those teams cold in five nights?" North Dakota isn't particularly a hot team like the Bobcats are now, but it is often just such circumstances like these that make a hot team cold.

However, don't be fooled by the strength of the Bisons. They play nearly the same style of ball as the Bobcats and they will be offer­ing plenty of competition to any­body's proud record. Denver Uni­versity just two nights later will really be n test of strength for the State College team and Denver is iust plain good. They have been mb<ed up in titles every year and this is proving no exception.

minute standing intnct, but their defense lagged decidedly on Satur­day and all of the four coming games will need a tight de!ensiv·e style of play against hoopsters who are reportedly good shots.

Making a prediction this week would be hard, hut if the Bobcats really get into the swing of things and a couple of players can stay hot each nigbl:;.-we should take them.

To the students: You now have a winning team, one which hasn't lost a single of 12 home gamts, To keep on winning they need you-r support to keep on fighting against any invade of the Bobcat record. Attend nil of those games and help us win-so if they do you can sayt 11! saw those v.1nning Bobcat play­ers defeat their opponents in or­clcr.11 Instead of. 1'1 was going to school at that time."
