Noticing our concern he shout-

no hospital especially after

"How dreadful" answered my
wife sympathetically. "You must

ADVANCEMENT
Prowng that Mrs Gertrude G. Huitt's words arc- true
.vomen took the spotlight in the news last week with several
ippomtmonts to jobs never before held by women.
Mrs Huitt who is a St. Louis attorney and president of
the American Soi optimist International Association in a
speech before the Dallas club said "Legally women are no
longer chattels imbeciles or children for no longer is wo-
men regarded as a 'rag a bone anda hank of hair'."
Evidently President Truman agrees with her fc lie nom-
inated Mrs Eugenie Anderson Democratic nati mal com-
mittee woman from Minnesota for the post of ambasoador
to Denmark. Coming from Red Wing Minneoitu Mrs. An-
leison has been active in t''e Uem cratic p.""ty since 1944.
While other women have sered tnn country as minis-
ter Mis Anderson is the lirst to hold full rank as ambassa-
dor in the diplomatic service of the United States.
Alts Vijaya Pandit formerly ambassador to Moscc ' is
now ambassador lrom India to Washington. She is a sister
of Prime Minister Nehru of that country.
Miss Edith Jean Burbridge (29) has been appointed as
one ot the spokesmen on British world policy. She is the
first woman to hold this post in Bntian's foreign office.
While not in the political world Miss Jeane Hoftman
holds a job that for the first time has been held by a woman.
The twenty-nine year old former sports writer has been
lined as executive editor of the 104 year old "Police Gazette."
Since it's beginning as a widely read very pink ribauld
newspaper each change of editor has found it a little light-
er color and a little cleaner reading. Miss Hoffman said the
policy of the paper would change from a complete coverage
of burlesque to a complete coverage of sports outdoor var-
iety. With women taking while perhaps not the leadership
but at least a more active part in world politics and affairs
it will be interesting to see if matters improve or not. In most
cases there is very little room for things getting much worse.
It would be refreshing to see things looking up anyway.
While not advocating that the fairer sex should run
things it is good to see that men are recognizing the fact
iact that women are capable of serving in places of respon-
sibility and some honor. A bouquet to Mr. Truman and the
British government as well as these others who have given
women a vote ol confidence with these appointments.
WHAT WE NEED
What this world and especially this campus needs is
kigmies. Great big fat kigmies that are willing to be kicked
for any and every one who needs to kick someone.
Think of what a Eutopia this would be if Al Capp's little
I nends could materialize into this world and be around
when we need them. What a difference could be wrought
in world affairs if Mr. Stalin or Mr. Molotoff could kick a
kigmy and get rid of some pent up meanness instead of
taking it out on poor Mr. Tito.
Think of how nice it could be if Congress and Mr. Tru-
man could just kick a kigmy instead of each other. Why it
would probably cut down Senate investigations ninety-five
percent. Think what it would do to the five-percenters in
stead of clipping a sucker they could clip a kigmy.
If your best girl friend steals your best boy friend put
down that knife girl kick a kigmy. If Mr. Dickey doesn't
see your graduation requirements in your light don't kick
him kick a kigmy.
Did the teacher give you less than you deserved on that
last test well don't drop the course drop a kigmy. Ever get
that almost uncontrollable desire to kick someone in the
teeth. Don't be frustrated kick a kigmy.
Are the chapel programs boring don't get up and leave
just kick that kigmy. It may be hard on shoes but it's easier
on the emotions.
It would probably revolutionize the football team. Think
of the practice they could get in off the field. You may be
able to kick that pigskin just get a kigmy and kick a kigmy-

In fact it would probably revolutionize the whole cam-

BY MARK DAVIS
It just wouldn't be fair to just
sny that he's without voice and
let it go at that but at least one
member of the Garrett family
isn't a singer. With the musical
experience that the Garrettshave
had from coast to coast how can
this be a fact you say? Well
we'll just leave you to try and
figute this one out while we tell
ya' just a 111' bit of what went on
in the last meeting of the Cur-
tain Club.
Some twenty minutes before
the first few notes of "Jackets"
was sounded for opening pep ral-
ly last Thursday night Dr. Gar-
rett and his "Thespians de les
arte" met in the crows nest of the
Mtms building in a regular meet-
ing of the Howard Payne Drama
Club which is known to "we"
peons as the Curtain Club. By
the time the dust had settled
Ronald "Corny" Corneilson
found himself holding the gavel
or is it a meat axe? At any rate
this denotes that by fair means
or foul he was elected President
of the society of "hams."
Having been elected first vice-
pi esident Bob Field promised to
take care of the "vice." Mrs. Ba-
iley's "Evil' daughter was ush-
eted in the "vice ring". Also as
the 2nd vice-president. Blond
Jams Taitte adds intrigue to the
oiganization in that she will sit
on the President's lap in the ca-
pacity of secretary. What did you
av about Corny's being married?
That's the trouble with women
they always foul up your social
life for I may as well tell you
that Mildred Corneilson was e-
lected Treasurer.
Mark Davis was on the stage
with the band blowing his nose
so the club is stuck with a repor-
ter. The Play Selecting Commit-
tee is as follows: Alan Benson
Burl "Begin the Beguine" Love-
lace Jack "Hot Fingers" Rey-
nolds Bobbie Morrow and Betty
Lou Wilson. The aforemention-
ed group will work with the
Club's officers and Dr Garrett
in the play selecting and plan-
ning. By the way "Red Carnations"
a one act job will be sponsored
by the club in cooperation with
the Music Department. Olen Nal-
ley will be in charge of set di-
recting for "Carnation" as well
as "Tableau" for "The Messiah."
Joy Garrett a distant relative of
the doctor will be in charge of
costumes for "Tableau.'
Want ad department: If you
can stand on your head ridel'?cts 1mnkus' a of mount-
three bikes at the same time and
save your Wheaties box tops
then you may be the lucky one
to join the other non-talented ar-
tists. Why glum chum when you
can make with the mug on the
stage. No kidding kid no joke
joker we need you in the Cur-
tain Club!
Now for the $64 question. Have
you figured out the answer to our
question as to whom is the non-
singing member of the Garrett
family? Have you figutcd out the
missing link? Come now Darwin
give us a theory. Come on now
and no monkey business either!
Well "Blackie" Garrett that spe-
ciman of four-legged canine
pulchritude is the answer. Hav-
ing been a member of the Gar-
ret clan now for some 14 years
"Blackie" leads a dog's life but
not every dog may be a member
An old gentlemen saw a group
of small boys in an English park
and asked one of them what
game they were going to play.
"Cricket" said the youngster.
"We're going to play a game of
Englands vs. the West Indes."
The old gentleman was amus-
ed. "I supose that some of you
are going to black your faces"
then he suggested.
"Oh no!" said the youngster
very seriously. "Some of us are
going to wash them."

of the Curtain Club as was
"Blackie" last Thursday night!
Hmmmmml Perhaps I ought to
scratch that one off.
Shakespeare seems to have
thought all the world was and
still is according to Spike Jone
a stage and all the inhabitants
players. All of this adds up to the
fact that we shouldn't play a-
round too much but catch up on
some of our lessons before the
curtain rings down on the first
act.
BOOK NOOK
NINETEEN EIGTY-FOUR
By George Orwell
Harcourt Brace and Company
S3.00
A look into the future is af-
fnrHnrl thn rnnrlnv if tliw nruv
novel by the author of "Animal
Farm" and the picture is in ev
ery respect a bleak and dismal
sight. Even though this book is
written about a time thitty-fivo
years hence it has the strange
power of making the reader feel
as if he is somehow involved
in the action.
London is the scene of the sto-
ry but it is a different London
one with Newpeak Telloscioens
Big Brother and Ingsoc. It is a
London of Thoughtcrime and
Thought police a London in
which is carried on a hate cam
paign. Science has abandoned
Man for the State and every cit-
izen is aware of the Party slo-
gans: War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
There is no past; the present
exists only if the Party wills it
so and no one thinks of the fu-
ture. Winston Smith who woiks in
the Ministry of Truth becomes so
involved in Party affairs his
mind is never at rest and the
peace within him is indeed war.
Two people make an impression
on his life that is so overwhelm-
ing it changes him completely.
One of these people is Julia
whom he meets after she hands
him a slip of paper leading "I
love you." The other is O'Bnen
who tells him "We shall meet in
the place where there is no dai k-
ness." One of them betrays Winton;
he betrays the other though a-
gainsl his own desires and in-
stincts. The unfolding of ttheso
"' "" " "i
It seems to be the tendency in
reviewing a new book to say
"It's different!" This one truly
is. It may remind the leader of
some of II. G. Weil's writing but
it goes down deeper into philo-
sophical thought and comes up
with something that leaves the
reader with the shocked feeling
that 1984 is present in cmbiyo
today.
Strict complete Totalitarism
is here pictuied by Orwell to
have divided the world into three
parts: Oceania Eastasia and '
Eurasia. These throe supei states
have waged war with each other
tor so long war no longer exists.
Atomic and rocket bombs aie al-
most obsolete weapons.
The climax of the story is rea-
ched in Room 101 wheio Or-
well tells for the first time in lit-
ature how the spit it of every
man living may be btoken down
until he can be made to avow
and belive that black is white
two plus two equals five and
evil is good.
Critics aie saying of "Nineteen
Eighty-Four" that it will be ic-
membeted as one of the most
important and moving woiks of
fiction to be published in this
generation.
The Book-of-the-Month Club
has of feted "Nineteen-Eighty
Four" as a regular selection.

see that she had long since par-

Some one told us that her daugh-

ycai.s so we established her age
at about eighty.
She stopped m fiont of the

on her face asked disappointed-

church tonight?"
Wo toll her that Miss Nolle
McLeioy was conducting a Tunn-

was not to stall until later.
