"Everybody's doing it, doing it, doing it." Yes. when ole King Sol shows his face in all his glory and permeates the April atmosphere with his brilliance, come eleven o'clock — classes are forsaken, chape! cut. and the sun-tanners" take to the S. T. C. penthouses. A birdseye view the other day revealed some 50 modern Athenians languidly absorbing bright April elements. It was an extraordinary "pertiful" sight with bright reds, greens and blues showing above white beach robes with an occasional stripe or polka dot mingled in the color scheme. All colors are popular on the roof this year, it seems and when it comes to wearing apparel wellanything is right in vogue. Here and there are a pair engaged in that popular roof activity of reading "True Confession", and nearby is a little lady sopping o'.ive oil on her face. Over there is a red-head reclined under a sun shade. I guess she's trying to get Vitamin D Instead of freckles on her nose. Ding! Dong! Lunch bell. Nobody stirred. What? Don't tell me they'd rather stay up here than eat. what with all the enticing aroma too? Sure. Sol is giving his best at high noon and it just can't be missed; so. they just send down town for a coke and keep on basking. "It's gobs of fun," they say. "and awfuly healthy, too: in fact one sun-bath gives twice as much Vitamin D as you could get in a grocery store in a whole week.

JOHNNY LYBROOK Retiring editor ol "Colonnade" Carefree, and with a merry eyed smile for everyone. Jon seems to suit her little boy name. Ever bubbling humor, and the inevitable "grande passion" make our favorite columnist the pride and joy of many a bull session, for she's delightfully refreshing to know, especially because of the good common sense opinions she formulates beneath that hood of toft black hair. A romanticist in every sense of the word, but thorough in her many responsible tasks, Johnny puts herself into whatever she does . . . whether it be gleanings of contemporary affairs, the make up of another prize winning magazine or reciting one of her dramatic and lovely and short poems. You can't -segregate the lovely integration of her character to find the elusive qualities that make her so much a part of the spirit of her alma mater, nor to find the cardinal principles of her popularity. Good humor, good fellowship and sound thinking are characteristic of her refreshing personality, and of the ideals of college which she so well portrays.

(i L E A N I N G S By MARIE ALLEN Tile "war in earnest*' is beginning t" get under way! With Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway the battlefield is brough1 closer to England. Already Germany has extended her control over the soul hern part of Norway in a line from Trondheim to Oslo and also controls the port of Narvik in northern Norway through which the Swedish Ore is shipped. It has been estimated Germany lias some B6.000 men in this area and is transporting 2.000 more a day by plane. Every day Germany is strengthening her position in her newest acquire territory. However, if he" 85,000 men are to he useful in case a pitched battle comes, they must have artillery and munitions, and of course a feu tanks could lie used. It is highly doubtful if Ger many has these necessary supplies in the abundance she had in Poland. They are bulky and heavy and it would he impossible to transport all that are needed by air. England, as usual, is cautious and slow to strike. She is landing her troop- north and south of Trondheim and uniting with the Norwegian troops. She would he much better "if if she could gain control of this port. It would mean she could gel her other necessities into No-way much easier as the distance would he shorter and the expense much less. One advantage thai England has over Germany is that ahi is allied with tlte Norwegians who are letter acquainted with the terrain of their country and know the most advantageous places to strike. Germany's move was another surp ise in this once "war of nerves". •lust what motivated her to have her well protected Western front is puzzling the world. There would be, of course, military advantages if she could gel control of Newsy, She could thus keei> Scandinavian supplies from getting into England and would be a menace to Britain in the North Sea. rendering the blockade less effective there. Hut at the same time Britain could get supplies from the real of the world, she would still be sea master over Germany in the greater part of the world. However, it would be a danger t<> have Germany so near England, and would make it possible for Germany to get some supplies via Norway from the rest of the world. When Germany moved Into Norway she goi out of her well-protected -hell ami moved into strange and unknown territory. she moved the battlefield closer to England, making England's attack on Germany much easier. Furthermore, she moved awaj from her fortifications and her base of supplies- a strange thing indeed to do. Was it because she was afraid the English blockade on Swedish ore would he effective? If so. it means Germany is weakening economically and must take definite steps to render the blockade useless. She has even ordered all .-craps of iron in the country to he gathered up and used in the making of airplanes and all liquid cash must go in her war chests. Maybe the prediction that Germany Is better off economically than in 1914 Is mistaken, anyway Hitler is not making the RuBSO-Gei'man alliance function as he would like. But in spite of all this it would be only ■ feti weeks until Germany could gel Swedish ore by way of the Gulf of Bothnia and certainly she could wait that long. An attack on Germany before she gets well organized and before she gets large supplies of ammunition, artillery and tanks would be the easiest way to oust Germany. It would hurt her economically to have to really tight for it would require large supplies of her scarce products oil. gasoline, and iron. And if England were successful in defeating Germany in Norway it would be a ground wound in the morale of her people and their support of Hitle-'. Hut can the Allies defeat Germany in Norway? If they can't it doesn't necessarily moan they have lost the war. but they would I OSS a great deal the confidence of many small countries in Europe And If they win in Norway it doesn't mean that Germany ii defeated, but it might. So the newest battlefield may be the scene of the decisive factor in the war, bul it man not.'

Red and White Takes Volley Ball Games
ANNE SEVILLE BARNETTE Due to an excess of that so-called "sky-juice", rain, VOlley-ball must necessarily take the spotlight in our sports this week. Not that it shouldn't, because if excitement ever ran high, it did in the gym last week during the class games.
"0*1* Teams Bow In Final Combat
Those teams were really in earnest about the matter, too.
EaCfl member Of each team went into the game with a determined glint in her eye, and each one did her best. Nol once did you see anyone loafing on the job—oh, of course, everyone makes a mistake now and then, hut the "up-andBt-'em" attitude displayed by those class aggregations, from the Seniors down through the Freshmen, was something line to see. Red and White fought; Green and White fought; results: Red and White maintained their lead with a score that puts them within arm's distance of that coveted color-cup. In the Junior-Senior tilt the Juniors came out on top, V/hile the Sophomore reigned victorious over the Freshmen. Those Juniors were "going to town" but they had their troubles 'cause the Seniors were "Wise-wise" when they put Liza at that net and kept her there; and Myra With her strong-arm serve—she reminded us of a modern Hercules. It was really comical to sec tiny Dot Johnson and "lengthy" Jean Carr playing identical positions just across tlie net from each other in the Snphonire-Freshman name, but neither was daunted by the other's height. Because of Mr. Brown's absence during the latter part of last week we found a lot of the members of the S. T. C. Golf Club practicing "slip" shots out on the athletic tield. "Practice makes perfect" in any game, and don't our golfers know it'.' The ranks at LongWOOd were not completely dismissed. however, for our pro soon provided a way for his pupils to resume their visits to the course. There they canied on their work of driving, putting, swinging, etc.. alone, remembering each and every word and each and every trick of the game that Pro Brown has taught them. The golf enthusiasts have shown their true Interest in the sport by not skipping practices lust because "teacher wasn't there."
Old Sol has had a nice long vacation now. and Jupiter. god of rain, thunder, and lightning, has had his fun (I hope). We're going to look ahead now to just a few nice sunny days fplease!) in which we can play off our tennis tournament. The dead-line for the play-oil' 01 the first round was set for Thursday. April 18, but due to the rain and the inability of the contestants to get together en a playing time, it was postponed until .Monday. It rained Friday; it rained Saurday : Sunday dawned with a sky full of threatening storm clouds. Miracle of miracles, H didn't rain, but neither did the courts dry off! (P. S.. I fear that that date will be set UP a few more days). As yet. only three ot the matches have been played off, and that is definitely not a good beginning. So. you contestants, if we ever again have a pretty day. pleas.' get together and play off these matches. Time's a-wasting!
