Editorial Potpourri Mrs. Eubank Bringing with her ten years of personal experience with college students, Mrs. Jessie Burrall Eubank, well-known author and educator, is lecturing and advising on our campus this week on the "Techniques of Life Adjustment". Mrs. Eubank, who is being B] sored b) the V. W. C.

To Mr. Striek. Choral Club. College Choir, A'Capella choirs. Madrigal Singers, and all other assistants, go our most sincere thanks. About The Tennis Courts Last week The Rotunda heard several students comment on the tennis court situation. They were of the opinion that the statement made in the earlier issue of this paper to the effect that new courts would be constructed was erroneous. We admit that tennis season is here and as vet the new courts have not been mad" ready. However, the administration has promised the courts although construction will probably be too late for their utilization this spring.

Her graciou-i. her enthusiasm, the evenness of her disposition—all of these things have made us love her.

Hitler with
his
exact planning and highly efficient mechanized army has been able to engulf practically all of the continent of Kurope, lifted somewhat last week as the little nation of Yugoslavia put its seventeen year-old ri.ng l'eter at the helm and rallied about Che throne in a decided protest against tin .Nazi regime. That such a stand should be taken by an almost defenseless people came as a great and happy surprise to the world because the government under the pro-Nazi legent, Prince Paul, had just sijrned a pact of cooperation with the Axis powers. It looked as if Yugoslavia would go the way of Hungary and the other central European states, but in a bloodless coup the popular General Simovitch was able to oust tin1 Axis pact-signers and install a pro-English government in about sixty minutes. London viewed the new development as the first major political defeat on tIncontinent for the Germans. Winston Churchill said that the Yugoslav nation had "found its soul". Certainly this move may alter the entire course of the European war. Consider the strategic position of Yugoslavia. It means that the Germans arc facing foes to the west—Yugoslavia, to the south—Greece, to the east—Turkey. No wonder the New York Times says Germany is bewildered and outraged. Hitler, who has so easily taken over one country after another because in the immediate prospect life seemed more Important than freedom to the peoples, may have to fight for the Yugoslavs. And it will probably be a stiff tight. Although if hi' turned his whole war machine upon this nation, they would hardly have a prayer, Hitler would know that he had a fight, for the Serbs are reputed as determined and valiant fighters, and the wild, mountainous condition of the country to the south would not make it easy to conquer. The Yugoslav ai my numbers only a little more than a million men, but it is one of the strongest in the Balkans. Besides they would be fight-

<~ You can't fool a little feathered friend about spring migrations !The smart bird knows that Greyhound is the easiest way to flit home to the family nest and back to college again when vacation time's over. The saving is plenty big—in both time and money — and the trip's more fun in a Super-Coach full of friends. There's an extra saving, as usual, on round-trip tickets. So be kind to your pocketbook—and to yourself—go Greyhound. OKLYIIOI Ml III | 11 VI ION Phone 78 ( onto,. n> ,1 Hotel
