Beauty on the Spgt The- world is afraid. It stands at the threshold of tomorrow in fear and trepidation. A great part of the world is hungry todav because the rest of the world is afraid that tomorrow they, too, may be hungry. On every hand we hear talk of depression, of a lowered standard of living, of unemployment, and scarcity. Only fear could breed such negativism. Yet, why are we afraid? The natural resources are there to be used, and we have need of ev erything that can be made, but la bor is afraid it won’t wring the last drop of blood from capital, and cap ital is afraid that it will. Doctors estimate that one Amer ican in 20 now alive will spend some time in a mental hospital before he dies. Without doubt, most of them will be there because of an over whelming fear—a fear which may range all the way from a fear of being unpopular to a fear of the hereafter. Let’s stop being afraid. Let’s stop following that one in 20, for fear makes men cower in dark corners. Fear doesn’t win wars; it only cre ates them. It is the eternal hope of tomor row which spurs men on. Endless frontiers stretch out before us, for the age of science has scarcely be gun. Who knows, the no-longer mysterious atom may be the pana cea for the ills that beset mankind instead of the destructive force of which we are afraid. And let’s stop being afraid of to morrow because of what happened yesterday—yesterday with its su perstitious fears and intolerances. J^et’s accept the challenge of to morrow' and be grateful for uncer tainty. The deadly monotony of in evitability has never created gen ius. So—“look well to this day; for yesterday is but a dream and to morrow is but a vision, but every today well lived makes every yes terday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.” Miss Mulhausen Wins Honors in Ski Meet Eloise Mulhausen, 1946 gradu ate of the University, carried off first place honors inthe Class B di vision of the Arnold Lunn ski meet Sunday at Mt.

Emerald Picks Miss Bosch As Third Contest Candidate Sally Bosch wondered just what was going- on when she was notified that she was the third on the list of Oregon’s Unknown Sweetheart contest late yesterday, but rallied in the final mo ments to give a few pertinent facts about herself; and in doing so she certainly qualified herself for the coveted title. \ ital statistics : Age : two weeks this side of 20; eyes : green; major, English; height. 5’6”, hair, blonde; home, Portland; looks, you can t go wrong; class, junior. Sports Admirer The cute Kappa managed to blurt out that She liked all sports . . . mainly swimming, basketball, bad minton and skiing. As far as men are concerned Miss Bosch'was quite specific: "I haven’t had much time to form an opinion on the question of men. During the lean war years on the campus there weren’t any men to for man opinion on, and this fall with so many it's a little hard to say. I am glad to see all the old characters back in school as they give the campus a real spirit that was sadly lacking my first two years.” As far as the future is concerned, Sally has several irons in the fire, notably to travel after graduation, take her master’s degree in Eng lish, or go into corrective speech clinic work. She still puts seeing how the other half lives first, as she is itching to travel to Canada, and take in the Eastern seaboard before she settles down. The old trite question of “how did ■you enjoy your Thanksgiving vaca tion” took a new twist when Sally grumpily admitted that her brother swiped the car. all during the holi days and she commuted by street car most of the time. The afore mentioned is a first year law stu dent at the University, aand is prone to driving instead of walking, ac cording to Sally. Well, there you have number three on our hit parade of six can didates for Oregon’s Unknown. Sweetheart.
