When Mary < I Porter Fain gets her bachelor of I science degree in mechanical en I gineering at the University of Ten I nessee June 3, some of her profes I be eating the words they I spoke four years ago. Odds were pretty heavy in Sep I tember, 1942 .that the 17-year-old I freshman would change her course I before completing requirements I b< r d and becoming the Cirst I girl to finish in mechanical engi I neering at U-T. But during her I four years at the University, Miss I Fain has managed to keep up with I her male classmates and make bct I ter than average grades. I In a course ordinarily called one I I M the hardest at U-T, Miss Fain is j I rated by her professors as "a good I Worker and student." She does her I own work, her professors say, not I asking the boys to help on diffi I cult problems. Miss Fain's feat becomes even I more admirable when it is consider I that not more than 25 women in 1 the United States have ever com I Dieted a college course in mechani ? lal engineering. I Even a 30-page problem doesn't I Phase this engineer as she talks en I tousiastically about internal com I busl>on engines, steam power I Plants, refrigeration, and air con I Zoning. I Studying mechanical engineer ? lng doesn't seem too hard for mo I Jj^ough it takes much more work I an ot,ler University courses," I *jd Miss Fain. "That's because I I 1 e mathematics and science. I I ? * 1 could in high school and I en decided this college course I suit my interests." 1 bi. h,1? mechanics of auto I lt e engine* may keep her up late 1 tlley ^on 1 st?P the *n8i 1 mu . Participating in student I She wu President of I ^rm,tory ltst y??r and a mem I Stttd ^ ??uncl1 ?' Women's I ?nt Government Association. MARY PORTER FAIN This year, Miss Fain has been a member of the council of the Inde pendent Students Organization. She is also a member of the Ameri can Society of Mechanical Engi neers and the Associated Collegiate Engineers. After a day at engineering meet ings and in the mechanical engi neering shop, Miss Fain likes "to really dress up." Neat cotton dresses are her favorites for sum mer when she takes off the greasy blue jeans she wears in the labora tory. "I used to worry about getting my clothes dirty in the shop," she said. "But now, I just dive in and get dirty and have a lot of fun do ing it." To do design and research on engines or perhaps household ap pliances is the ambition of Miss Fain after she gets her degree. A native of Murphy, N. C., the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Fain, she hopes to be able to work some place in the South although she will work in the North if the right job is available.

And yet maybe next sum mer we'll get around to doing something about it. But next sum mer will be too late; those eyes won't be staring then. "These people are not jusl hungry ? they are starving. They are stewing weeds, gnawing rot ting bones. Not just men and women, but little children who never had an evil thought in their lives. Babies staring at the one nation that has a fat table. Shove that down your throat with your next gulp of roast beef or pork chop. Wrap it around your tongue with the next scoop of dripping spaghetti and remember while you do it that the children of France are eating cattle dung."
