Confidence is the key to everything. It is of great
importance to have confidence in others but even more
to nave it in oneself.
The two main elements of confidence are faith and
courage. It takes both of these to know oneself and then
confidence to be oneself. A person without self-confidence
is a miserable soul. He often fakes shyness as an
outlet crawls into a shell and blames it on the other
fellow.
If we could just have the courage to look aj things
without self-pity and have the faith to realize that our
abilities can be improved.
Confidence comes from integrity of mind and the
knowledge that we have done our very best. Then this
wonderful feeling fills us so that we realize that each in-
dividual has an important part to play thus giving us
renewed respect in ourselves and others.
A force is afoot in the world which would take our
liberty our prosperity and our happiness with no thought
to the consequences and no regard for human rights and
responsibilities.
This force Communism threatens our' very existence
as a nation. Yet we seem to be doing very little to stop
' its- spread in America. Some of our leaders in politics
and business have even encouraged activities that are
teaching the doctrines of Communism.
Abolition of the House Committee on UN-American
Activities has been urged by some members of the House.
Pommunist-front organizations have bombarded Congress-
men with letters stating their support to the disbandment
movement.
The cry of these people is that there is no longer a
need for the committee. But according to the post office
department 10 million pieces of Red propaganda come into
the country each year. High military and civil posts have
been infiltrated by spies and Americans whose loyalty is
to Russia and the Cause. Members of Russia delegations
stationed in the United States have undoubtedly gathered
important information by their access to government
officials. "
' Still the. cry that we-don't need to worry about Com-
munists. Some well-meaning people consider them only
another political party. . Little can be done until we the
people of America recognize that the aim of these Com-
munists is to lull us into a 'state of -supine contentment
then to take over without a fight. They have the men to
do just this in strategic posts all over the nation.
Communism is not just another political party. The
purpose of their policies is to make the whole world a
satellite to Moscow. If they cannot do this through legal
.means they will use other methods; espionage force or
"through our own unconcern.
It is improbable that Russia wil ever start an atomic
'-war. There are easier ways to get -what she wants. Com-
munists know that a war would destroy the peoples and
'Countries that she wants to rule even if Russia itself
-were hot demolished.
What can we do? Learn what Communism is how it
-works' what its purpose is. Then we can begin to fight
it 'in a way that will cause its collapse.

. Here I am with another Big
Hello to all of my little Fat
Friends. How much weight did
you put on after eating all of that
Valentine candy? I know one
girl who ate seven boxes of candy
and only gained three ounces
her total weight is now 50 pounds
and three ounces!
I wouldn't dare tell you who it
is but her initials are G-L-E-N-D-A
M-ED-F-O-R-D. One of
my friends got a beautiful box of
candyi it was chocolate cover
candy with bologny fillings like
I say it was a beautiful box ! !
Did everyone see that grand
game between the Student Coun-
cil and the Faculty? Not only
was evervone preat hnskpthnll
players but they displayed var
ious otner talents such as Tiny
Tinsworth and his Tumbling Act.
Some of the nlavers for thp
faculty team ere: Wev-Rite Wil-
kerson Spider Spence Payola
retry iong-Shat Scott Killer
King Gold-Digger Graham and
nis son renny-Lriver tiraham.
Starters for the Student Coun-
cil were Can-Can Cunningham
Fowling Fillpot Pushing Preston
Hacking Hines. and Bashful
Boyd.
The game started exactly at
6:73 bv the clock. Fillnot trm-
ped Spence grabbed the ball and
ariDDied down to make two
points for the opposing team. At
tms crucial point the girls were
sent in they were: Double-Dribble
Denton Kram 'em Kirbey
the Bobbsev Twins. Roueh Sir
Ready Roden Hooker Hackler
urooKea uorcleil Jb'lash Flowers
and Jumping Jefferies.
This is where the fieht he pan.
Kirbey gouged Hap-A-lxng Hicks
in tne eyes wniie .blowers grab-
bed the ball. Hackler got the ball
and did some -fiancv riHhhlinfr
around Brown and through Wal
ton. Koden threw Scott down by
the tongue and Hackler dribbled
in for a. one handed behind the
back and over the head shot.
The half time entertainment
was nrovided bv Dean Brieitte
BardOt Berkshire who did a
graceful ballet and Marilvn Mon
roe Moody who displayed her
skiiis on now to whistle while
kissing.
The last half of the game was
about the same as the first
boring. Actually it was a very
exciting game the faculty
slaughtered the Student Council
by two points!
Dean Of Women: "Didn't you
read the letter I sent you?"
Co-ed: "Yes Ma'am. I read it
inside and out. On the inside it
said 'You are requested to leave
college' and on the outside it
said "Return in five days'; so
here ! am."
A salesman became tired of his
job and joined the police force.
Several months later a friend
asked how he liked his new posi-
tion. "Well" he replied "the pay is
fair and the hours are satisfac-
tory but what I like best is the
fact that the customer is always
wrong."

Ga-lump . . .
"There it went."
Such were the utterings of Dar-
la Gayle Shelton Business Man-
ager recently when she swallow-
ed ... of all things ... A CON-
TACT LENS.
A minor rumble came from her
stomach.
"Guess it's saying 'the' better
to see you with my dear" Darla
laughed meekly.
How did such an unorthodox
event occur? Just listen. You
won't believe it.
Seems she was in the process
of talking . .' . and eating . . . and
holding one of the lens on her
tongue at the same time. She had
talked just a little bit more than
she had eaten and had "forgot-
ten" about the lens being in its
unusual habitat.
All of a sudden she decided
her thirst needed quenching . . .
so ... in went the chocolate milk.
Then it dawned. Along with the
chocolate milk went one other
item. The contact lens.
"I thought I would have to have
my stomach pumped" she ex-
claimed "but decided against it."
She dashed up the stairs in South
Hall prepared to try any emer-
gency measure to recover the
tiny but expensive bit of glass.
Then . . . her female line of
thought getting the best (or worst)
of her . . . she made her decision.
She went ahead to her skating
date placed her other lens in her
"weak" eye and quipped "Just
call me weakeye."
Incidentally the lens was in-
sured. She will have one red eye
for only a short t'ime.
