ity and what not, they beckoned No.
IA, 10 and 5 to come to the stand
in the middle of the hall. At this
point the spectators still didn't
know who had won first place and
would be crowned Miss Arizona.
But they at least knew that the
dream of eleven others had been
shaded.
The dramatic moment came to
an end when the judges gave the
nod to Miss Hazel Williams, the
queen to represent Arizona, at the
Elks Grand Lodge. Miss Tommy
Dupree, and Mrs. Ludea Johnson
were awarded second and third
prizes respectively.
Miss Hazel Williams, the winner,
is native of Phoenix, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Williams,
1922 E. Washington st. She is 20
years of age and senior at Ari-
zona State College, Tempe. The
opinion is almost unanimous that
Miss Williams is we'll qualified in
every respect to represent William
H. Patterson's Lodge, and the state
of Arizona creditably in San Fran
cisco, next month.

gineer Construction Battalion, re-
Gently returned here from a three
month tour of duty in Hollywood,
California, as technical adviser on
scenes in the forthcoming moving
picture entitled battle-ground"
Sergeant Jagers' technical advice
consisted of teaching the give drill"

Kaplan, unit manager of the pic
ture. Jagers taught actors John

ice in January, 1943 and for three

u. P. Negro Cooks
Sue for Seniority

A history-making wsuit is
headed for the courts on behalf of
ninety Negro cooks employed by
the Union Pacific The suit is being
brought on the initiative of the
Dining Car and Railroad Food
workers Union Gnd) throu g h
Archibald BromSen New York, it's
general counsel.
The suit, when filed, will be
brought against the road and Din
ing Car Employees, Local 372, Hotel
& Bartenders International (AFL)
The company and the local have
eonnived together against the Ne
gro cooks interests, according to
the complaint.
The cooks charge that seniority
rights as set forth in a June, 1912,
collective bargaining agreement
have been denied the plaintiffs. The
Negro cooks allege they have been
classified as Class 3d." though Of
equal competence to the white
cooks, and are paid lower rates of
pay on restricted runs.
Even when assigned to Glass "a"
runs, the Negro cooks are not al
lowed to accumulate seniority and
continue to receive lower rates of
pay.
Jobs open to white employees are
designated as "Chef" and Chefs
Caterers" but Negro cooks are con-
fined to second cook" as their
highest classification.
The DC&RRFWU lawyers point
to the case of a Negro cook who
has for some time been assigned to
service the private car of the UPS
president, and yet has been pre-
vented from accumulating Class
"a" seniority.
The AFL International and it's
Joint Council of Dining Car locals
have become notorious for agree
ments which permit discrimination
against Negro employees in dining
car service.

An-Time High
Enrolment at A.S.C.

A total of 8,086 students were
served in the various programs of
Arizona State College at Tempe
during the 1948-49 fiscal year just
ended.
Another all-time enrolment
record, the figure is % per cent
increase over last years previous
record at the states Oldest institu-
ton of higher education, according
to DR.. Grady Gammage, President.
A yet larger registration is an
ticipated September II, start of the
fall semester, when 1000 persons
are expected to attend the state
college. Enrolment this summer
reached 1924 the first session and
1,607 the second.
The college is pushing a $4,000
900 building program, in addition
to many additions in it's academic
offering and teaching Staffs, to
meet the needs of it's growing en-
rollment.
The largest course offering in
history-in both day and evening
courses-has been prepared. Several
dozen new faculty members will be
added, particularly in journalism
and dramatics, in which special de-
grees will be granted for the first
time, President Gammage declared.
Largest single item in the 8,O86
enrolment was 4.308 enrolleS in
the regular 1948-49 academic year.
Extensi on and correspondence
courses enrolled 389 and 1948 sum-
mer session 2-3O9. Others took work
in the college vocational school and
other college-operated schools.
Degrees offering in the regular
college problem include Bachelor
of Arts in Education, Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science and Mas
ters of Arts in Education.
Educators no longer need to hold
the line for education alone" DR..
Gammage declared. Business, civic,
labor, agricultural and aren't
groups have shown only interest
in better education for all of all
people. They agree we must invest
more money in education and in the
kind of education needed in the
world today and tomorrow.
The Arizona educator added: "We
live in a complex and delicately
balanced economy; in a complex
and nervous world. These condi-
tions demand the best education we
devise and a brand of thinking not
too common in academic or lay
circles. Expanded and carefully
planned higher education with
broad and democratic purposes is a
necessity.

Take tip from the army signal
corps engineers-it's no fun. They
tried it and said they couldn't stand

The tests were made in a new
silent chamber" perfected by the
signal corps to help reduce the
noise of military equipment.
About 30 minutes of absolute
silence was just about all anyone
could stand. After 30 minutes the
engineers became uneasy. After a
few hours, the army said, the dead
silence produced pronounced ad-
verse psychological effects"
The room is used to measure
the noise of field equipment. The
army said even a small electric
generator in the. field was enough
to reveal the position of the soldier
and endanger his life. Now en-
gineers can find out just how much
noise it makes and quiet it enough
to prevent detection.

chamber are covered with wedge
shaped hunks of fiberglass. point
