Rotary Establishes Fund for Hospital A better equipped playroom for young patients is in prospect at N.

The Rotary Fund for Pedia trics, to be carried on by mem orial contributions or gifts, will provide SIOO a year for a three year period to the children’s floor of the hospital. Auxiliary officers noted a growth and training program, under the direction of a trained worker, is in progress now for convalescing children, llut the foundation grant which made this service possible, they said, could not include funds for the model ling ‘lay, pencils, records, books ami other tools essential to car rying out this program. Auxiliary members also issued a call for volunteer help, along with funds and play equipment, for the Pediatrics Department. “The greatest help," a spokesman said, "would be from people who con id devote a whole morning or afternoon or several consec utive hours to this service; so that the children would not, be interrupted in their program by a change of helpers. Students or teachers in education, physical education or child psychology who could give some time to this program would be very val uable, but such training is not necessary if others would like to give of their time.” Fraternity Honors Hodges and Love Governor Luther Hodges and James Spencer Love were hon ored by the University’s Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Kappa I’si, national professional busi ness fraternity, at its Spring Pledge Bati(|iiel Saturday night.

One of the pursuits of a village newspaper's editor (or, as I am now, a part time performer called con tributing editor) is observ ing the connections of his village with the great world outside. Chapel Hill, because of being the seat of a Uni versity, naturally has more of these connections than an ordinary village. Many of them relate to the successes that have been won—in lit erature and the arts, in gov ernment, in business, in | other fields—bv men and women who have gone out from here. Others relate to the activities of persons who have been visitors among us. When 1 am asked what team I want to see win the title in the American League, I say the Boston Red Sox, and then, when 1 am asked why, I say it’s be cause Ted Williams used to be a Chapel Hillian. He was herq as a cadet in the Navy Pre-flight School for several months a dozen years ago and of course played on the school’s baseball team. 1 could go out to Emerson Field any day and see him play (free of charge, too). Not only since Emerson field is in hearing distance of my home on a quiet afternoon, I could hear the crack of his bat while sitting in my garden. Is it any wonder that when I look at the sports page every morning 1 gloat over the Red Sox’ victories and mourn their defeats much cause for mourning this sea son, —and am deeply concerned about how many times Ted whales the ball for a safe hit.

Palmatier, of the University physics department yesterday described his design of a new electronic computer which will determine mill effi ciency, as measured by the frac tion of time machines can run and in relation to the chances of a machine breaking down and the number of repairmen needed. His describtion of the new computer was made at the Sta tistics Colloquim meeting at Phillips Hull. The computer is of the “ana log” or “continuous”, type, and can readily be adjusted to take account of different distributions of probabilities of breakdowns. The mathematcat theory of this subject has been studied inten sively, especially at Cambridge j.und Oxford universities and in the Institute of Statistics at tiie University, but yields ex pressions difficult to compute without a special machine. Mr. I‘ulinatier’s device is expected to fill this need. The results might be used, for example, by a textile manufacturer, to decide tiow many repairmen to employ. Mr. Palmatier is associate pro fessor of physics, and is work ing in cooperation with the In stitute of Statistics on this com puter.
