Presidents' Breakfast
Two rolls, one slice of bacon, fruit juice, and coffee or milk, were approached with dainty movements by the women present while the men blitzed the victuals mentioned with the voracity of an "extra hand" at harvest time.
It must be mentioned, however, that the preview of a few of the scenes from the musical, College Daze, which will be presented tomorrow night, provided the only refreshing bit of entertainment and the only source of joy for getting up at such an early hour.
Such was the point of general interest at the last of a series of Presidents' Breakfasts which was held here Saturday. Sell Democracy
As a result, it would seem that there is no reason for students to get interested in the affairs of the campus if the people they select to head the various important organizations are not interested in attending a meeting which is designed to be of general help to everyone.
As the "big wheels" assembled, it was interesting to note that out of 115 invitations only 60 accepted and of this number approximately 40 remained for the entire period.
Considerable work has gone into the planning of these breakfasts and an informative program is usually planned. The Student Union Activities plan to continue these affairs next year and will try to raise points for discussion which may be presented at the student-faculty conference.
If the student body is to be expected to get into high gear and take a more active part in the activities which are planned for them, the "big wheels" had better take a
Democracy needs to be publicized to the people in those countries which are coming under the influence of communism, or those countries which might be forced under communistic influences.
Communist publicity in Europe appeals to the people of nearly all classes. It emphasizes steady employment, educational and welfare advantages, and medical assistance in relation to need. In return, the individual is forced to work productively, to serve the state loyally and to accept the directives of the party hierarchy without question.
Our state department has spoken of "democracy" in international terms but its concept seems to be the mere right of political democracy—the right of all citizens to vote in free elections, the right to criticize the government, to express their own ideas to read varying opinions, to work where they please. What we have failed to emphasize is the common man's right to land ownership, of food and shelter, and a decent minimum of education and health.
The communists have taken advantage of our failure by posing as the one great power which really

Dear Editor
I am becoming quite proficient at hitting my wastebasket with one shot with the letters which come across my desk which do not include the writer's address and telephone number and those which exceed the 150-200 word limit. Gentle reader, take a hint.-Editor.
Great Picture
Dear Editor:
"Gentlemen's Agreement" is one of the few truly great motion pictures I have seen. If only it had been possible to materialize the emotions of the departing audience. There would have been some walking out thinking about what they would do in the future, and there should have been some crawling out thinking about what they have done, are doing now, and what is worse, will probably continue to do.

concerns itself with the interests of the people. They exclaim, with great effect, "Communication stands for economic democracy, which means higher standards of living through state planning. America stands for political democracy, which you cannot eat and which will not protect you when it rains."
Anti-communist posters in the recent Italian elections may have had some influence. Posters stating, "If you don't vote now you may never vote again," and "God can see you vote-Stalin can't" were typical.

As a nation of high-pressure salesmen and publicity conscious advertisers we could certainly put our knowledge to good use. A new campaign teaching our democratic ideals and practical application to other peoples in the world might help stop the advancing communist forces—Rosemary Rospaw.

Great Tune-Great RECORD
It's Bob Eberly's waxing of "You Can't Run Away From Love."—Decca Record Release
BOB EBERLY, the romantic ballad singer, gives some old but good advice to cuddlesome twosomes on this click-disc.
And Bob has another good word for smokers. As Bob sings it, "I've tried a lot of different brands of cigarettes--but Camels suit me best."
Try Camels on your "T-Zone"-T for Taste... T for Throat. See for yourself why, with Bob Eberly and countless other smokers who have tried and compared. Camels are the "choice of experience."
And here's another GREAT RECORD!
