Werner Returns From Convention
Dean Henry Werner, adviser of men, returned yesterday morning from Gainesville, Fla., where he has been attending the twentieth annual meeting of the Association of College Unions, held Jan. 4 to 6 of this year.
The Association is made up of directors and student board members of universities and colleges throughout the country. The conference was held in the University of Florida's Union building that Denn Werner describes as, "a wonderful building, housing a soda fountain, a bookstore, a recreation room, a men's lounge, and the University newspaper offices in addition to the usual union offices."
Dean Werner explained that the University of Florida, started largely through the efforts of William Jennings Bryan, is for men. Only 65 of the two thousand students are women. These women take courses at other schools. There is a school for Florida women at Tallahassee.
The next meeting of the Association of College Unions will be held at Philadelphia, Dec. 5, to 7, 1940.

Prof. Hay Advises Would-Be Flyers
"If you'd like to learn to fly, it's not too late." Prof. Earl D. Hay, director of the University flying courses, announced yesterday. "We are accepting applications from all students who will be interested in learning."

Movie Portrays Spanish Refugees in French Camps
Students will be given 35 hours of actual flight instruction, and will be issued a pilot's license. All in-staff students must complete of government approved teachers.
Juniors, seniors, and graduate students particularly are urged to apply for admission, said Professor Hay Women, too, may enter, and several have already taken advantage of the opportunity.

Approximately 200 students saw the moving picture "Refugee," which was shown yesterday in Fraser theater. The movie, part of the "V" week program, pictured the lives of Spanish refugees in France. Many authorities consider this gigantic exodus of Spain's refugees into France one of the greatest the world has ever known.
The picture portrayed the lives of refugees who lived in concentration camps during the Spanish civil war. They existed with a meager amount of food, little clothing and with almost no medical care. The only attention refugees received from nurses and doctors was the Central Health Internationale, a health institution in Paris.

Chi party. My munch that I should attend was right and so was the party . . . Marjorie Gaines with a red gown and some sort of red rose hair-do in honor of a visiting Beta from Manhattan aroused what I like to call my aesthetic appreciation of the beautiful. About the time I was prepared to "stand-up" the notebook for another 30 minutes something went wrong with my "monkey suit" and--that's where I went out.

If Betty Blake would refrain from letting the whole school in on her "secret" this corner might have respected her wishes to keep it in print. But when she commands in a bridge game "All I get are hours and diamonds. It must have something to do with my life," someone should let the three other persons in on the deal. She is engaged to Mr. Charles O'Zias, a Denver U. Sigma Chi and a lawyer. A more formal announcement will be made shortly by her parents.

A combination of bad weather and approaching finals kept students in drove from the Scrimmage Varacity and the superb music of Joe McAnarry and his Clyde Byson band. With Joe's clarinet and Wayne Rupendahl's trumpet, this band is furnishing the music to him or Smith or but not boaten. I don't think it can be equalled but don't take my word for it—ask a few of those who were there Friday night.
