For instance, ask assistant cook MeCarty if she will put on her glasses the next time she reaches for powdered sugar. (The apple sauce needed sweetening, and •only in the nick of time was the soda side-tracked from the sauce and the ])0wdered sugar substituted instead.) Hostess Bill Fulton jokingly speaks of her servant problem in the kitch en — but she is already trying to sign up' her head cook, assistant cook, and maid Virginia Breakell, under long term contracts. After October 15, another group of girls will come into the practice house. These girls, Ann Mills, Mel ba Cline, Virginia Taylor, ;ind Hel en Lanuing, will stay until Novem ber G.

SOPHOMORE COURT RULES SUPREME (Continued From Page One) w'ere forced to make public claims of photographs of the “boys-they- left-behind, ” M'hich were held up before the audience by a juror. Also these same offenders were cross-ex amined thoroughly concerningi the subjects of the photographs. The climax came when one freshman ordered to kiss the picture belonging to her, did so quite lovingly — to the great satisfaction of the audi ence; and when questioned concern ing his charms, exj>anded upon them proudly. “Who is hel” asked the jurors. “My brother! said the frosh. After all defendants had been handled in a manner satisfactory to judge, jurors, and court, they were acquitted on the promise of good behavior and the assembly broke rank to settle all differences oyer coca-colas, ritz-crackers, nabs, and ginger snaps (all provided by the freshnien!) RUSHING SEASON “How do you do, Mr. Lindsey.” “Won’t you sit down, Mr. Ijind- sey. ” “Have a cigarette, Mr. Lindsey.” “A little ice-cream, Mr. Jjindseyf” Accepting the Bid: “Congratulations, Lindsey.” “Glad to have you with us, Lind sey.” .

Don’t be soft. We ain’t half thru with you.” “Smack! Smack!” ‘ ‘ Okay, only two more apiece and we’re through.” —The Davidsonian. SCIENCE NEWS Mr. Campbell and Mr. Higgins are trying out a new tyi>e of light in the science building polaroid light. They have what appears to be an ordinary desk lamp, rather modern istic in design. This lamp gives forth a glareless light. To all ap pearances this lamp is like any other light, except that the glass around the light source appears to be slightly purple. What makes it dif ferent from ordinary lamps is the fact that the polaroid in the glass cuts out a certain amount of light waves and gives a definite direction to the others as they pass through it. Normal light comes to the eye from all directions, and in giving it di rection Polaroid is improving human sight, because it eliminates glare and thus intensifies colors. It is the glare that prevents the eye from penetrating a surface of water, or from seeing the words on a shiny printed page. Polaroid is used for other things besides lamps. In a few years it may be the means of eliminating all head-light glare on automobiles, giv ing the world three-dimensional mov ies, improving outdoor advertising displays, and j>erforming a dozen other wonders. Ill appearance Polaroid is a very ordinary-looking substance. It comes in flexible, transparent sheets about three-thousandths of an inch in thickness, which looks like dark pieces of cellophane. In a sheet of Polaroid there are several thousand billion needle-like crystals suspended and all lying parallel. For the pro tection of the fragile crystals Pola roid is, regularly sold sandwiched in between two sheets of safety film or two sheets of glass., The wonders of Polaroid are end less. camera equipped witli Pola roid can photograph a submarine be neath the water, because the glare is removed and the camera eye can jienptrate the surface of the water. And many deep-sea fishermen find polarized glasses a-necessary part of fishing equijiinent because through them they caji see the fish rising for the bait and biting! THE COLLEGIATE REVIEW (By Associated Collegiate Press) I ! ^ 7 , ■ New York University is now of fering degree-credit courses in safe ty education. A majority of Rollins College stu dents and faculty members have voted to abolish football as an in» tercollegiate sport. New York City — (ACP) — At least one U. S. colege instructor is trying to make life easy for today’s undergraduates. It’s Mrs. Florence C. Rose, direc tor of remedial reading work at Smith College^ who recently gave the following rules for fast reading to Columbia Univeristy students: 1. Don’t pronounce the w6rds you are reading either audibly or in- audibly. 2. Try to grasp the meaning from the printed word rather than from the sound of the word. 3. Read by phrases rather than word by word. Do not look at each word individually. 4. To skim, let your eyes zig-zag across the page, reading some of the words, not all of them, and slowing down on parts of special interest. * 5. Read the topic sentences, the in troductory and concluding para graphs, and points in italics care fully. Skim the other sections. Of the 1.50,000 seniors graduated from TI. S. Colleges and universities liist spring, 12 per cent were NYA students. Stanford 1-niversity .j)hysicists are perfecting a light that is 4,000 de grees hotter than the sun’s surfaee.

Cor. Trade and 5th St. The Home Of JBetter Values “Great leaders are generally snobs with a sense of responsibility. ’ ’ So University of Manitoba’s Pres. Sidney Smith is out to get more stu dents that “ are conscious of be longing to a class.” QUOTABLE QUOTES (By Associated Collegiate Press) ‘ ‘ Far too many scientists are ri diculous because they write long- winded articles about their research es and fail to put them into proper literary style.” Centenary College’s young E. Z. Friedenberg gave scien tists the ‘ ‘ works ’ ’ at their anniial convention. ‘ ‘ E.xperience has proved, and prob ably no one would now deny, that knowledge can avance, or at least can advance most rajridly, only by means of an unfettered search for truth on the part of those who de vote their lives to seeking it in their respective fields, and by complete freedom in imparting to their pupils the truth they have found.” An old axiom is pointedly restated by Dr. A, Lawrence Lowell, Harvard presi dent-emeritus. Judge: “And why haven’t you a horn on your automobile t” Prisoner at the Bar: “Please, Mister Joodga, I don’t needa da horn.

OUR TOAST TO FRESHMEN May your dis illusions be gentle; Your loves be fleeting; Your parents be lenient: And may you be a freshman only once! —Auburn Plainsman. HURRICANE HITS HOMES OF SALEM’S CON^TUDENTS Pat Mitchell’s Home Suffer ed Greatest Damage Last week there were five very worried Connecticut girls on our cam pus, for the homes of these students were in the section which was hit hardest by the phenomenal hurri cane. Their families were all subjected to the same minor inconveniences, but the greatest damage was done to Pat Mitchell’s home. The trees in her yard were blown down and wash ed into Long Island Sound by the unusually high tide which came with in a few feet of her front door. Several of the girls have friends whose homes are on islands. These homes were completely wrecked and a few of the people were drowned in the torrent of water. In Farmington, the town in which Betty Sanford lives, the business sec tion was completely inundated and the streets impassable for .several days. By now most of the debris has been cleared away and much of the damage repaired. But the most im portant thing is that their families are safe. 5 % Paul Whiteman Every Wednesday Evening George Gracie Burns Allen Every Friday Evening All C. B. S.
