Dorm Bull Sessions Serve, as Perfect Medium
For OSCD's. Post-War Planning Discussions
By Hayden Carruth
Outstanding characteristic of college
dormitory life has been taken over by
the Office of Student Civilian Defense
for work in preparation for post-war
planning. The "bull session," foremost
medium for information exchange a-
mong students, has served its purpose
for the more serious work of under
standing war issues.
Headed by Dick Railey, the Dormi
tory Forum division of the OSCD has
already organized and presented three
panel discussions, and an ambitious
program for continued work through
out the remaining five months of school
has been planned.

Prior to the Christmas holidays third

were the scenes of the program's initia-

Not admitting his guilt but offering

Too Large to Remove;
Relic Getting Dustier
By Charlie Kessler
"Contact; Switch on." A Vought

of the United States army training
field at Fairfield, Ohio. It lurched
into the air and wobbled. Suddenly
something went wrong. The trainer
nosed downward and crashed. Later
the plane was repaired, but army of
ficials declared that it could never be
flown again.
Today this airplane, a relic of the
World War, is housed in Phillips hall.
The University obtained the plane from
the United States army in November,

Proper Channels
"The purpose of the program is to
direct the interest of students in the
proper channels, suggest readings and
other sources of accurate information,
and lead them to participation in the
Civilian Defense activities," Railey
said. "Many students on the campus,
it is felt, do not understand all the as
pects of the present conflict, and we;
shall attempt to straighten out all mis
understandings and misinformations,"
he said.

with faculty experts in various fields,
