and who are being backed by tlie
communists of Russia.

that time been visited by many per
sonages of prominence.

Indirect Lamps Are
Installed In The
Dormitories
Dr, Frazer Provides Latest
Thing In Lighting
Facilities
Dr. Frazer has said that the new
indirect lamps will solve all our
lighting problems that Queens-
Chicora has ever had. These lights
are the very latest things in the
scientific development of illumina
tion. They will cause no harsh glare,
yet their brilliance will penetrate the
extreme corners. No other lamps
will he necessary or permitted in the
rooms.
The new lamps were installed this
past week. The students appreciate
tlie excellent lighting and liave done
away with their old lamps.
One evening a jirominent society
woman stepped up to a Chinese who
had been lecturing on his native
country, and said, “I hear that you
Chinese eat rats.” He looked at her
for a momenl, then replied, “Madam,
I hear that you Americans eat hot
dogs.”
In two years Ohio State’s Junior
College of the Air has enrolled more
than 7,000 students in 43 courses.
