Somewhat
Expressive
BY Harold HOlifield
THIS is THE END

of Somewhat Expressive. With
today's column it's somewhat be-
wildered editor retires from regu-
lar professional journalism and re-
directs his somewhat limited ener-
Fgies in another direction.
About one and one half years
ago; Somewhat Expressive began.
It began as an exchange column
in which the news of the. country
was mulled over and digested.
Since then, its editor has tried
every journalistic experiment and
device of which he could think
and has reached out on all sides
in search of the perfect style. In
fact, he is still looking.
1t has been pleasant working
as, a member of the Enterprise
staff and it has been instructive.
It has been pleasant to aid a
struggling paper to keep its head
above water.
But under the reorganization
which the paper has undergone,
things are floating along nicely
and 1t seems that the struggle is
nearly over.
AS this columns editor will be
quite busy the next three months,
working nights and attending the
University during the days, he

Connecticut and Colorado, have
special sessions under considera-
ton to cope with problems caused
by the war.
And now from King County
comes a demand from one of it's
commissioners that Governor Lam
glie call special session of the
legislature to appropriate money
for Civilian Defense work. If this
demand had come from almost any
other county it might have been
given some consideration. But you
can rest assured there will be no
special session simply because
King County wants it.
Next to an actual invasion by
the enemy, nothing could be more
disastrous to the state at this
time than special session of the
legislature.

Charles Hebberd, veteran C. o

publican national committeeman
from this state if William G. Reed,
the present incumbent, joins Uncle

sources it is learned that Reed

Until the war is won, the young

reins may have to relinquish their
responsibilities to older hands.
Few men in the state have a back

Bread Has Two Sides
BY Ruth Taylor

We are all familiar with the old
remark, "He knows on which side
his bread is generally
used to describe the shrewd indi-'
vidual who has his eye on the
main chance, and is ready to use
any means of getting ahead. The
other day, / heard added to this
sentence a truth which we can all
take to heart-"But he doesn't
seem to realize that he has to eat
both Sides"
This is homely way of putting
it-but it is true. We have to
eat both sides of the bread and
we can't get away from it. There
are no shortcuts to success, no
panaceas for the unpleasant things
of life. We must pay for all that
we get, in some coin or other.
We have seen what has hap
pened to those nations which fol-
lowed the opportune path. Yes,
the Low Countries knew on which
side their bread was buttered, so
they made pacts with Germany;
they remained neutral; they didn't
spend money on armaments-but
there were two sides to the bread
and the unbuttered Is very bitter.
They know that now.
France too knew ons which side
its bread was buttered. 1t built a
high wall against Germany, but
did not build up the Notifications
of morale. Small groups ran wild,
seeking the buttered side of the
bread for themselves alone-and
they, too, now eat bitter bread.
The people of England are
watching their rations run short,
and are girding themselves for
greater sacrifices ahead-because
of the allure of the buttered bread
of peace in our time" with no
thought of the days ahead or of
peace for our .children's time"
We are not guiltless. We flirted
with the idea Of buttered bread.
We found what it cost at Pearl
Harbor, Wake, and Manila. Now
we have to eat the unbuttered
side. Our whole manner of life
has been changed almost over
night.
Fortunately for us, it is not toe
late. We have the resources and
the man power and the skill tc
make up for the time we have
lost, but only if we keep ever
lastingly at it. But while we dc
this job of preparing, fighting and
winning the war, we will have to
eat both sides Of the bread. We
will have to sacrifice and work
and do more than we thought we
could do-every last one of us

Miami university of Oxford, o.,
was a surprise winner of the col

Ohio State salvaged some of the
honors when Bob Wright, the
great hurdler, was awarded the
trophy as the outstanding indi-
vidual. He won the 6O-yard high
and low hurdles. 1t was the Sec
ond straight year Wright had car
ried home that trophy.
Hunt boosted the relays pole
vault record to IL feet II inches
in taking that event for the Sec
ond straight year. The old mark
of IA feet was set by Milt Padway
of Wisconsin in 1889.
The Prairie View speedsters
gave the crowd of $500 fans
thrill when they broke relays rec
ords in the sprint medley and the
college one-mile relay. They low
cred the spring medley mark of

by Prairie View despite a slow

Their zeal, in that it prompts
them to the use of impudent means

uled time the many encores that
followed drew 1t out to considerable
length, much to the satisfaction Of
the enthralled crowd.
The remarkable virtuosity that
has been Heifetz's great asset since
his prodigy days has gradually been
made to seem secondary to the
beauty of his tone and the fineness
of his Interpretation. Yesterday
both Of these were especially ar
resting and were the prime factors
in stamping this recital as one Of
the best he has played here. The
ethereal quality of tone that has
always distinguished his playing
was rounded out with a rich
vibrancy and held a human warmth
deeply expressive. His intellectual
and at the same time emotional
feeling of the music, visible in the
superb analysis Of every measure
and in an understanding of its
poetic significance, was projected
with powerful effect through a me-
dium of tone color of extensive
range.
One of the pleasures of a Heifetz
recital is the type of program he
chooses. 1t reveals, first OF all, an
artist who is not willing to stand
still on the height which he has
attained, but desires to add to his
personal knowledge and his artistic
progress by setting himself new
goals to reach in carefully chosen
numbers. 1t shows also his eclectic
taste with a motive back Of it. Fur
thermore he fulfills his duty toward
art and to its many masters by
bringing their little-known works
before the public with the less noble
but equally important result Of add
ing zest and newness to his annual
appearance.

Heifetz played them. The work is

an equal distribution Of effect be-

more brilliant variations which call
for technical mastery. In contrast,
