| Summary: | Tie Concordian PAGE 4 Thursday, March 4P 1943 Remarks of Coach J. M. Christiansen in chapel Tuesday regarding the importance for all men to keep in condition should be heeded by Cobbers. Regardless of future occupation, one's' physical health should never be neg-lected. Reports from men in the armed forces bear out the flact that previous physical con-ditioning in physical education or athletics has made army life much easier. Thus Cob-bers who anticipate being called into the armed services will find it is to their ad-vantage to take part in phy ed, intramural and other sports. But it is the duty of those not contemplat-ing service in the armed forces to keep them-selves in condition also. Certainly one can do much better, in whatever field he is, if he is in good health. Our government has pub-licized that sickness is an aid to the axis. And such is the case, for in whatever field a per-son may be, his sickness may use up vital materials, or at least wastes precious hours of manpower. In duty to ourselves, our country, and God, who has given us our bodies* let's keep physically fit! Ignorance of many students regarding the registration for war ra/tion book number two last week emphasizes the fact that we, as college students, are largely in the dark as far as knowing what is going on in the world. If a count were made, the number of students who never read a newspaper or listen to a radio newscast would probably sur-prise us. And even for those who do read newspapers, it is often unfortunately the case that the comic sections and sport pages are the extent of the person's perusal. Most <xf us agree that every day, events of world-shaking importance are taking place. Yet we say that we do not have time to read newspapers. Every day students waste at least 15 minutes each. In that time it would be quite possible to gain the gist of news from a newspaper. Our history instructors will undoubtedly agree that keeping informed on current events is just as important as knowing ancient history. Shall we be forced to con-fess our ignorance when future generation query us about events that took place during our college days? Newspapers are provided for students in the bookstore, library and dormitories. Let's use them—R. E. A. The Reporters' Notebook By SOREN HAUGE This might have happened here. The professor was in the middle of a lecture when three students, arriving late, slogged noisily to the front of the room and sat down. Eyeing them coolly for a moment, the prof remarked point-edly: "Caesar was right; all Gall is divided into three parts." The Dragons are responsible for this one: Anne Brown Included numbers from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" Wednesday night. As she reached this part of her program, one of our trans-cemetery friends remarked to his date: "Meat and fish course coming up." The co-ed didn't catch on. "Selections from 'Porky and Bass'," was his explanation. Bjertness humor is fast becom-ing Concordia tradition. The way he circulates his banter in the cafeteria, Sig proves a real aid to digestion. When asked how he liked Min-nesota sub-zero temperatures, one of the privates from Dixieland cracked back: "Where I come from, anything below 98.6 is cause for alarm." "Minne-snow-ta, the land of 10,000 frostbites," commented one of the new army cadets, a Texan, after his arrival. THRIFT Is Strictly Modern . .
