Harriet, whose picture was run in the winter term Emer I aid, is a freshman in liberal arts. Her home is in Kohala, Hawaii. Hawaii, the crossroads of the Pacific, isQregarded by many as a remote and enchanting paradise <Sf exotic flowers, coconut palms, white, sandy beaches, and a warm clinfate the year round. However, in° actuality, one of the most fas cinating and perhaps the most sig nificant aspect of Hawaii is its Recognition as the melting pot of ■he Pacific. o [“Among Hawaii’s 430,000 people, [nearly every racial extractien is [represented.

It is from these unique mix tures thac some of Hawaii's love liest beauties may be found. Girls taking first place in beauty con tests often represent as many as twelve different strains of blood. Such examples as Spanish, French, Hawaiian, and Portuguese; of Japanese, Chinese, Norwegian, and Hawaiian emerge with highest acclaims to beauty. They are al ways proud to boast of their un usual combinations. It is not'an oddity to see a girl with the jsroUd features of an Hawaiian and the blue eyes of a Caucasian, or to see a girl with fee features of a Cau casian and the deep bronze color ing of an Hawaiian. The once dis tinctive features of the Orientals have now in many cases been so assimilated that to hit upon one’s exact racial extraction is nearly impossible. It has been predicted that someday every inhabitant of the islands will be of mixed blood. Such a phenomena provides in teresting subject matter, especial ly for tQurists, but ordinarily there is little regard for a precise analysis of racial extractions. They are all Americans and are as loyal as those to be found any where. — Former Officers Offered Active Duty Former weather officers of the Officers Reserve corps on inactive status can apply for active duty if they are graduates from an Army Weather school or the equivalent civilian schooling, and have had previous active service as weather officers.

Republican leaders frankly ad mit that it is their intention and their hope to by-pass all proposed vet legislation. Thb^ will use every parliamentary dodge possible to avoid putting themselves on record as being “for” or “against” impor tant legislation proppsed on veter an g affairs. 0 o O Q ® Republican leaders have two good reasons for such a frank attitude. First, they are attempting to <?ut the budget and will oppose most ev ery item of vet legislation that re quires an expenditure of govern ment funds. Secondly, congression al mail from home reveals only a “mild” interest in the general run of vet legislation. If for no other reason than that veterans in general are not vitallv interested in some legislation sup posedly for their benefit it is rea sonable to suppose that the mem bers of the Republican party aue justified in opposing most of the new legislation. Terminal Leave Two items on which there is quite a bit of veteran interest are the pro posals to lift the on-the-job ceilings and to make the terminal leave pay bonds immediately payable in cash. There is a good chance of these two bills getting a favorable reception from the Congress.

Broadway minds of the real friends of the vet- ' eian is the tendency of many mem bers of congress to introduce bills, purporting to be in be half of veterans, but which are in reality designed chiefly to influence the so-called “veter an vote." This is a cheap political i trick that may hfprm the cause of all | veterans. It may create the false impression that thq, veterans as a %roup are out to raid and bankrupt the federal treasury. Actually this is not true. There is no organized pressure ffbm veterans or the or ganizations repfbseifting them °to put across any JegislatiQji which constitutes a “raid" on the treasury. . o °-— O j Dick Williams to Study ‘ Student Union Functions » n * ‘ * o • „ O ° £) Dick Williams, educational activ- „ °0 o . o • ities manager, will leave April 7 on a trip to study the functions and management of student unions in fmir midwestern schools.
