Japanese (Continued from page one) nese students to this country, true democracy is being further en trenched in Japan. "We learn as much as we can," Koizumi stated, "and we intend to put our knowl edge into a better Japanese gov ernment." Questioned by Rotarians about the U. S. education system, Koizu mi said that strange American stu dent actions impressed him. "When the tyell rings, pupils stand up and prepare to leave while the teacher is speaking!" "In Japan, students arc regulat ed. The teacher is boss. So you see," he quipped, "Japanese stu dents here are enjoying their lib erty." Concerning the atomic bomb and its effect on present American Japanese relations, Koizumi main tained "our people do not harbor ill feeling against such a strong weapon. The Japanese people were trained for all wartime dis asters. He added, "War is war." Bombs Destrroy Cities Three cities were destroyed in one night's bombing. In Hiro shima, 300,000 anticipated the on coming raid. "We waited. We knew wc were next." When the devastating blast was dropped, the explosion "crushed down" buildings like match sticks.

Duke Lab Gets Non- Metallic Water System Installed this week at Duke Ma rine laboratory, Piver's Island, was a non-metallic water system. This system, made only of hard rubber, is essential in the barnacle research project being carried on at the laboratory for the United States Navy. Because metals, such as copper and zinc, are poisonous to marine invertabrates, it is impossible to grow barnacles in a laboratory fed with salt water through met al pipes, explained Dr. Henry Krit zler, resident investigator. W. K. Howard. Duke univer sity's engineer, is supervising in stallation of the system which in cludes an electrically operated all rubber pump, pipes and valves. The pump, of 20-gallon per min ute capacity, is placed on an in genious device, a stage, which ri ses and falls with the tide. The stage is located on the Duke dock. Its ability to float with the tide makes the distance of the pump from the water uni form at all times. The salt water will flow into the newer lab at he west of of the quadrangle, but T connections are being placed at the older labora tory and midway between the two where a new lab may be built some day. Cost of the non-metallic water system is approximately $1,800, Howard stated. Dr. Kritzler added that it is not only necessary to have the barna cles in uncontaminated water, but the minute particles of food they depend on for growth would also be killed if they were pumped through metal pipes.

Many times, in rubber bridge, players will avoid a sacri fice, fearing that their opponents will pick up another good hand and win the rubber. In duplicate, the board shows the dealer and designates vulner ability. Penalties and trick score are the same as in rubber bridge. Here are some variations: ? Part-score, vul. or not vul. ? SO point bqnus. Game, not vulnerable ? 300 point bonus. ' Game, vulnerable ? 500 point bonus. On the above hand, North has reason to fear that E-W can make their slam for 1430 points ? 6 Hearts at 30 per trick .180 Vulnerable game bonus 500 Vul. small slam bonus 750 Total .... 1430 North evaluates a bid of 6 Spades as losing 1 heart, 1 spade, and probably 2 clubs; or a set of three, totaling 800 points (vulnerable, double). In the tournament at Webb Me morial last Monday, 3 pairs N-S sacrificed at 6 spades. Three E-W pairs made their 1430 points at 6 hearts. Against 6 Spades, one east player opened his singleton club, trumped his partner's return, and, on the basis of his partner's strong heart raise, underlcd his heart ace in order to obtain another club ruff. He thereby set the 6 Spade bid 4 tricks for 1100 points, still not equal to the 1430 points re sulting from a successful 6 Heart' contract. Nfwt froi OCRACOKE ) Feb. 27 ?
