Harriett Vannatta, last term
named Miss Vogue in a Theta Sig
ma Phi fashion show, was chosen
as the first Beauty on the Spot for
spring term. Harriet, whose picture
was run in the winter term Emer

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

and an endless variety of combi
nations.
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.

Vets Forum
According to one of the latest
Vet-Letters, which are issued week
ly by the Army Times, we should
not discount as partisan criticism
the reports that the 80th Congress
is out to kill all veteran legislation.
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.

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.
