*e* * e a • \ • • April 29, 1949 EASTERN MONTANA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Page Two THE STAFF Editor Otis Packwood Assistant Editor Don Young Business Jene Peterson Advertising Alden Pedersen Sports Editor Bill Pate Sports Reporter Vernon Akins Features Shirley Baker Society Editor Joy Starner News Editor_ Don Zupan Humor Marlin Payne Student Affairs Virginia Kyger EDITORIAL Letter From a \Friend\ A letter sent to several of the students majoring in education lies here before me on my desk. It describes teaching as the \worst matrimonial blind alley that a woman can enter,\ and our schools as \old maid factories.\ The general theme warns any young lady who enters the teach- ing profession that she will end up unthanked, unwanted, and above all else, unmarried! \A Friend\ authored this let- ter that was sent from Seattle. If the author were reputable, he would not hesitate to sign his name. If his reasoning were sound, the letter could have seri- ous repercussions. None of his points are true. Therefore, we can discount this letter as the work of another crack-pot. This poor misguided soul forgot that when a gal decides to \get her man\ she gets him! Be she teacher, lady-wrestler or debu- tante! ALUMNI NOTES Milton Agte, former Eastern student, is the manager of the bookstore at the University at Missoula. Dorthy Hucke, nee Bede, 1948, has returned to Billings after she and her husband attended fall and winter quarters at M.S.U. Paul Stark has been training with the Billings Mustangs at Annaheim, Calif. JENE PETERSON JOY STARNER INTRODUCING THE STAFF By Shirley Baker This is the second in a series of articles introducing the staff of EMCOE. A gal with a nose for news is Joy Starner, Society Editor of EMCOE. This little lady will pry into your week end secrets with a sly touch which will leave you completely exposed. BEWARE— all of you with deep, dark secrets! Joy is the proud holder of the Pepsi-Cola scholarship which gives her a four-year college edu- cation. Winning this competition is really something to be proud of. Joy is a sophomore majoring in sociology. She is planning to attend the University of Denver next year.. Her interests are varied, but music is a special hobby. A dependable, personable, all- around student best describes our Society Editor. Our capable business manager, Jene Petersen, is a major in pre- engineering. He hopes to attend Oklahoma A. & M. next year to continue his education. Jene is one of those true sports- men you read about. He likes fishing, hunting and auto racing. He is talented, too—an accom- plished drummer with patience galore—just ask the baton corps! His cooperative attitude and skill in operating the stage lights for \Fresh Fields\ helped make it a stand-out dramatic produc- tion. Jene's enterprising enthusiasm is a real asset to Eastern and EMCOE. Jene says, \More people should be interested in contribut- ing to EMCOE.\ We agree! W. A. A. NEWS On April 4 the W. A. A. elected officers for spring quarter. President—Lavonne Larson Vice President—Carol Gerdes Secretary—Irene Donohoe Treasurer—Donna Dorfler SOCIAL SWIRLS Eastern celebrated Easter in the approved manner, with a Good Friday holiday making it a long weekend. Most of the out-of- town students visited their homes, many of the leaving Thursday af- ternoon. New Easter clothes, love- ly spring weather, and church activities marked Easter Sunday for those who stayed in Billings. Pat Forquer says she spent most of her vacation singing in church choirs. Have you ever seen home-made lavender marshmallows? Shirley Baker and her guests enjoyed some that were supposed to be of that color, but were more of a tattle-tale gray. Even Eastern's faculty is get- ting starry-eyed these days. Miss Dean has a new sparkle in her eye and one on her left hand. She and Bill Burke, whom you may remember from last year, haven't set the date yet. It was a queenly shower—the one that Dorothy Hucke, nee Bede, last year' s Homecoming Queen, and Grace McCaskie gave for bride-to-be Helen Baglien, who was the Queen of the Sweet- heart Ball last year. STUDENT UNION NOTES The Student Union Board met Tuesday, April 12. The main items of business were: the re- port on Mr. Johnson's attendance at the conference at Bozeman, the election concerning the revision of the Student Union constitu- tion, and the consideration of purchase of a cash register and an electric mixer for the cafe- teria. At a subsequent meeting on April 19 these purchases were made. At this latter meeting the winter quarter financial report was presented and accepted. The referendum for the elim- ination from the constitution of a clause providing that every offi- cer of the Student Union be a member of a subsidiary commit- tee and for the renumbering of the sections was conducted Thurs- day, April 21, and the measure was passed by a vote of 151 to 14. Professor: \So sir, you said that I was a learned jackass, did you?\ Freshie: \No sir, I merely re- marked that you were a burro of information.\ Coed: \I've added those figures ten times, sir.\ Professor: \Good girl.\ Coed: \And here's your ten an- swers.\ WIT AND WISDOM By Payne God does not intend people, and does not like people, to be too good. He likes them neither too good nor too bad, but a little too bad is more venial with him than a little too good. Professor: \And where have you been for the last week?\ Student: \Stop me if you've heard this one!\ At a college examination a pro- fessor asked: \Does the question embarrass you?\ \Not at all, sir,\ replied the student, \not at all. It is quite clear. It is the answer that both- ers me.\ How many men there are who eat, drink and marry; buy, sell and build; make their agreements and look after their affairs; get themselves friends and enemies, pleasures and pains; are born, grow up, live and die—yet asleep. Professor: \Wake the fellow up next to you.\ Student: \You do it, Prof., you put him asleep.\ Only choose in marriage a wom- an whom you would choose as a friend if she were a man. Genius—has been defined as a supreme capacity for taking trou- ble. It might be more fitly de- scribed as a supreme capacity for gettings its possessors into trouble of all kinds. Professor: \Young man, are you the teacher of this class?\ Student: \No sir.\ Professor: \Then don't talk like an idiot.\ It is better to stir up a question without deciding it, than to de- cide it without stirring it up. SUMMER JOB OPPORTUNITIES Camp Sweyolakan on the shore of beautiful Lake Couer d'Alene in daho has begun its annual cam- paign to secure counselors for the summer camp season.
