AND I DO MEAN YOU !
If you are tired of being told the Importance of cooperation you
can stop reading now; if you don't want to be prompted to scriouc
thought about duty spirit loyalty to our school turn the page to n
lighter item that will require no mental or physical exertion. Here
it is again: Co-operation. I wish It could be on the front page In big
IS-point Gothic.
Daniel Baker has a number of student organizations; each of
them is important; each has or should and could have a definite
purpose to support to aid to better the school however it may best
do so consequently helping itself and its members. There is no
need to elaborate on this cycle of benefits. You can see it. You can
also see that this cycle cannot exist as long as there is no pro-
pelling effort on the part of the constituents effort between the
ears as well as in the backbone and muscles. It can't exist as long
ns the composite elements arc loosely knit as long as there is dis-
unity lack of self-respect respect for others of values or morals
or even a portial lack of these.
Disunity is the opposite of unity; unity and co-operation are twins
in the family of Organization Leadership Common Interests Depend-
ability Sincerity Foresight and is father of Intelligence.
A man who is respected by all who know him told me the other
day "The Daniel Baker students are a wonderful bunch of people.
The only thing" he said "is they seem to do thing once in awhile
disrespectful to themselves things harmful to their prestige and
reputations. Maybe they grew up too quick in war days. Maybe
they have acquired too much artificial sophistication. But
then" ho added "if they make up their minds to do
something they cand do it and do it well."
This man isn't against us at all. He is more "for us" than
anyone I've seen in a long time and he merely was giving constructive
criticism.
Funny thing there are just lots of people like that looking at
us all the time. They keep a weather-eye out figuring who would
be a good leader manager worker artist; whom they want to
help of whom they are doubtful.
Back to co-operation tho COLLEGIAN needs it from all organi-
zations the editor needs it from his staff; ditto the Trail. The student
body proxy not only occupies an honorable and privileged postition
but also one of numerous responsibilities. He needs our co-operation.
We put him there; let's do as ho asks help himall we can. The
same is true of oganization officers. The student senate is held
responsible by everyone to do its job justice. The AOF Frnt the
Delta Beta and Coggin Societies the Home Ec Club the Veterans
Club the Dramatic and Press Clubs all are commendable organiza-
tions with complementary purposes. .But they (and I mean this to be
complimentary) hnven't done half what they could. Of course tho
"B" Association has had its share so far this year.
Shall we think in the future of nil those people who have their
eyes on us who have traveled the roads we are traveling who "know
the score"? and if I may quote Mrs. Wright "Never be satisfied;
do it better; make it perfect."
AT THE MOVIES
BY RICHARD GREEN
The Lost Moment (Ul-Wanger)
now playing at tho Bowie brings us
suspense nt its peak. This melo-
drama is complete with spooky
mansions locked rooms and dim
candle light. You may think this
sounds like Rebecca and it is very
much like this famous film of the
past even to the fire scene. Susan
Hnyward plays a young woman liv-
ing with her aged aunt in a dreary
old house in Venice. When I sny
that her aunt (Agnes Moor-
head) is aged I mean just that for
she is one hundred and five years
old. Miss Moorhend was n fam
ous beauty and lover of n noted
poet in her younger days but the
poet is dead when the picture
starts. His death was surrounded
in mystery. To this dreary ntmos
phere comes Robert Cummings
posing as a writer seeking a place
to live but really trying to locate
love letters believed to have been
written to the Ancient. The sus-
pense begins nt this point and
never lags.
Tho Lost Moment is from Henry
James' "Tho Aspern Papers." Wal-
ter Wongcr went all out for art in
this superb production. The film
is mostly concerned with what goes
on in the minds of the principal
characters rather than action.
Joan Lorring tho cockney in Tho
Corn is Green? is around to help
make the picture even more de-
lightful. Treasure of Sierra Madre plays
tomorrow. This is a story of gold
prospecting in the mountains of
Mexico. Humphrey Bogart is the
central character but it is Walter
Huston's portaryal of the old pros-
pector that you will remember long
after you have forgotten Bogart.
Every performance in Treasure of
Sierra Madre is top-flight from
the extras to Huston's. The film
has only two .slight drawbacks a
trite title and excessive length.
Doug Us Fairbanks Jr. carries on
the tradition of his father Douglas
Fairbanks Sr. in The Exile starting
Sunday. The Fairbanks name on a
marquee is tho sign of swnshbuck
ling fencing derring-do and a
general atmosphere of high advcn
ture and The Exile is no exception
Douglas plays England's Charles II
with charm and no end of physical
enduruncc. The time is 1GG0.
Charles and his faithful followers
(there arc always faithful followers
in theso period adventures) live by
their wits in the wilderness until
Charles is summoned back to the
throne. In the meantime Charles
has hired himself out to n beautiful
fnrmerctt played by a newcomer
Paule Corset.
Maria Montcz that mistress of
the queenly gestures is around
briefly very briefly. In fact she
does little more than take a bath in
osc of those 17th century bathtubs
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. wrote
produced and directed these ninety
two minutes of adventure in sepia

I1Y R. WOOLDRIDGE
I suppose the one thing which has
created more difference of opinion
and speculation by the students
during the past few days than the
question of who won in the favor-
ite contests is the biirucr ciues-
tion Will the student proxy and
annual editor be able to keep the
winners' nnmos secret until The
Tiail is readv for issue? Should
they succeed it is though that this
feature will add timeliness and in
terest to the publication.
In case you're looking for some-
one bribe the votes were to have
been counted by three people: Ray
Harnett student president Stanley
Hurnham Trail editor and one
faculty representative Dr. Curruth.
Because two winners in each con-
test will report to the Gibbons-
Smith studio for "glamour shots"
even the contestants will not be
aware of who is winner and who
is runner-up.
Several well-laid plots for dis-
coloring this valuable information
are in the making but I can think
of no better surer method than to
co-operate with a re-poll of student
opinion which is to be sponsored by
the Collegian this week.
Collegian members will set up n
voting table in the bookstore and
:isk the students to write the name
of their choice on n pcice of paper
and drop it in a box. These bal
lots will be counted and the desults
announced in the following issue of
the paper. THE RESULT WILL
NOT BE OFFICIAL just a very
good guess at the winner.
The race was "clean" except pos-
sibly in the case of Dell Roy
Thomas candidate for male benuty.
By his own statement Thomas
started taking beauty treatments
the day be was nominated. This
was bad enough but on the day of
tho election. Thomas surprised his
opponents Burnham and Wool-
dridge by having an efficient cam-
paign crew working in the scince
building and the bookstore. Not
only was free coffee given and n
"book-carrying service" in full
swing but they even went so far
as to point out numerous defects
in tho beauty of his most handsome
rivals!
Burnham criplcd from a recent
basketball game and Wooldridge
pale and weak from over-study
were in no condition to contest
these outrageous tactics except to
vote several times for themselves
and plead with the "teetotalers"
who wern't swayed by the free cof-
fee. In tho race for Campus .Beauty
between Betty White Kathy King
and Sue Guyer there was a sur-
prisingly small amount of mud-
slinging. Each however was con-
fident of victory. Betty Shults
campus sweetheart gives full cred-
it to her campaign manager Ves
Hicks.
Cora Lou Lambert and Wanda
Wilhelm popularity contestants
are still the best of friends In
fact Cora Lou voted for Wanda
and vice versa.
In the race for most athletic boy
Hue Ben Ray hus pointed out that
the optic nerve in Elmer's eyes is
in very poor condition. Ho added
that one has only to look at Elmer's
very attractive wife Freddyc to
see that this eye trouble is of u
lato origin.

BY OVA LEE GLOVER
Whut about Billy Baker you ask ?
Well .
When all the shoving nnd push-
ing Was going on here in Daniel
Baker's hallowed halls for the six-ty-f
I r s t semester's registration
whose name should pop up before
the eyes of the registrar except
that of Billy Baker?
Long-haired class-cutting genius
he is who has been absent so often
that his name is 'posted on the
bulletin board only when he is pre-
sent. This Billy Baker is enrolled ns a
sophomore nnd a harder-headed
one there never wus and from the
wny he fouls up and still gets no
frowns from the Committee For
The Control Of Absentees it is
a wonder there isn't a student riot
or some other gesture of similar
effect to put a curb on the nec-
essity of having to bellow two or
three times a day. From what this
Baker gets away with all newcom-
ers around here evidently think
that he has the Disciplinary Com-
mittee on probation a supposition
reasonable enough when we con-
sider that he has never been repri-
manded for anything.
Now Billy Baker left the cam-
pus soon after football season end-
ed last full; and according to the
records he was the first to leave.
Baker was brought here because he
was supposed to be quite handy
in the line of athletics but accord
ing to tho records shortly after he
took off for parts unknown ap-
proximately one or two of the re-
gular footballers loft the "Hill"
and it was suspected by u few that
Baker hnd spread a little Commun-
ist propaganda about before he
went. Well according to some ex
perts if that is true something
should be done with this subversive
character but to date restaurateurs
have been a bit reluctant to place
barbecued Communist on their
menu not they say becnuse they
fear they can't keep a supply on
hand but they just don't wish to
have any part in or take any
chance on infecting any of General
Public's private citizens.
Anyway when registration ior
the sixty-oneth semester was in
full swing nnd who should try to
register by proxy but Billy Baker
it was decided by the CPA (Col-
legian Press Association) that a
special reporter should be assigned
to get the renl lowdown on this

Baker nnd find out if he is entitled
to the subsistence payments which
the veteran administration Cov
raising such funds around .. here
have been sending to him. These
funds were usually raised by put-
ting a tax on all exits on chapel
nnd assembly days.
Well in true Collegian fashion
it didn't take the special reporter
long to get a lead on this Billy Ba
kcr nnd he was found on short time
later in a not-too-far-awuy Utopia
which Billy has conveniently named
his own private Shangri-La. He
seems to have less than a few
things on his mind nnd he didn't
mind sitting down for an interview
nt all. Baker denies that he is a
Communist nnd he always says he
is ready to lock horns with any-
body that calls him a "Red." He
is well off enough financially nnd
ho says he is going to trade his
lovely locks of hair for room and
board rather than take anymore
charity.
"I don't plan to be on the cam-
pus very often before fall." Billy
says "and then it will be only for
special occasions. There just isn't
enough of my kind around there
nnd in fact I wouldn't want to be
quoted as saying that any of the
other students are quite my kind."
Baker says he is getting along all
right and plans to continue hi.-
courses with DBC by correspond-
ence. He never would come to
school anyway unless some of the
more eager students tied a rope
around his neck and led him and
Billy thinks they did tlint only to
gain n few point worth of influence
with some of the teachers. "They
would all cut classes if they could
get away with it" he says.
But if Billy Baker thinks he can
stay at home and get an education
nnd earn a living at the same time
thnt is his business and he is the
one that shall be the goat if his
plans flunk out. Anyway he sends
his regards to all the students out
here on the Hill and he promises
to be back as a regular this fall
Incidentally Billy has been sharing
his grass with a cute wavy-haired
blonde and he has thut campus
male look in his eyes too. If things
go according to the blueprint Billy
has in mind Coach Wcdiman may
have an opportunity to scrimmage
his regulars against a teum of mas
cots next fall.
For stimulating response form
its renders the alert newspaper
may wish to try the typographical
