Beatty, and B. B. Riman, under the supervision of the local N_. Y. A. are now working on a gov- ernment survey: This-survey is be- ing launched in an eifort to help the corn-hog farmers. Whether or not the Corn-Hog Program shall be con- tinued during 1935 and 1936 will be determined by the evidence gathered. The questions that are asked in this house—to—house survey are sent from Washington, D. (1., to the Coun- ty Councils. The N. Y. A. members are the ones that actually do the canvassing, while the Councils send results to Washington. Pertinent Questions Asked Obviously these questions always have a definite answer to them. They are the following: 1. Has the price of pork in your community gone up since the pro- gram went into effect? 2. Has the price of pork risen fus- ter than your income? 3. Has the price of pork risen more rapidly than the price of the com- moditics? 4. Has the increase in price of pork caused you to purchase less of that commodity? 5. Has the rise in price of pork caused a change in your menus——a shift to less expensive meats, or to fish, or to such high protein foods as eggs, beans, etc? 6. If less pork is being purchased because of the rise in price, is it your opinion that the Corn—Hog Program is benefitting the farmers sufficient- ly to compensate for the hardships thrust upon the consumer in the form of higher prices? ‘ 7. Do you think the Com-Hog Ad- justment Program has‘afl’ectcd the different groups indifferently'! “Pulse affiliation ” Favors Roosevelt Who will be our next president? To determine the answer to this all‘ important question, the Paine of the Nation, 21 monthly magazine of opin— ion, recently conducted a poll among editors of college newspapers, mag- azines, and yearbooks. The returns favor Roosevelt by a preponderous majority. The complete tally gave Roosevelt 408 votes, Bomb 52, ‘Frank Knox, 26, Herbert Hoover 23, Norman Thomas 23, Governor Al— fred London 22, and other candi— dates from 1 to 8. The separate poll for the parties showed: Democrats 386, Republicans 183, Socialists 45, Independents 20, and Communists 10. The Democratic party led in all sections of the coun- try except New England, where the Republican party was ahead. These results seem to differ quite a bit from the announcements in our daily metropolitan papers a short time ago, heralding the dawn of a new era and the downfall of the New Deal. W 8. What other opinions do you have on this program? The reason for having this survey carried on by the County Councils is that it gives the latter an oppor— tunity to express themselves as to the effect of the Corn-Hog Program on the consumers of pork. Other Products Inspected Different products, coal, gas, oil. etc., serve as the subjects of various other surveys. The merchants that sell these products are also reached. They are asked the prices they pay wholesale. The retail prics are in- vestigated. The average price of commodities is then represented on a separate graph for each city.

A Sports Editorial Possibly you too feel that a cheer leader and or- ‘ effort. Following games meant new converts, and ganized cheers are of problematical worth at a sporting event. If you do, don’t be embarrassed ”most Armour men have at least offered that front in past years. If you felt like cheering, you yelled; if another Techman had the same urge, he yelled when the spirit was upon him. Now when the WHOLE student body pours into the Armory on December 5 for the opener, are there to be any real cheers? The answer is no, unless some Techawk with a large voice and free moving anatomy appears as a cheer leader! Do we want or need one? Possibly what follows may help decide. Last season, the student attendance at Armour games rocketed to a new high when the 108th En- gineers Armory became the Tech home floor. Of course more people meant more noise but, as us- ual, no organized cheers. A game of this and the present civils planned for better. The next game saw—and heardmthe better portion of the C. E. appeared. ’36 yelling in strenuous, stentorian, and unified .wanted! cheers ne’er heard or used before (Women), Did the team notice it? Look at last year’s rec— ord. Listen to what Capt. Al Lauchiskis said (if the cheering section. “It sounds great to hear you fellows yelling. We’re alone on the floor, and we can’t see the gal— lery; but when the going is tough we like to know we’re not alone l” The University of Chicago game, that session to which every Armour man points with pride, found the lusty lunged cheering section ruinin many a dulcet vocal chord in shaming the shouts of the Maroons. Sincere efforts by enthusiastic men to organize full cheers had little success, a cheer leader of real talent was needed and is still needed. Unless he appears, the group effort will alone prevail. When, oh when, will such a thing as “Armour Spirit” inspire one of us to the great excess of offering our services as cheerleader? The habit took hold. Man Isolation notes: A streamer approximately 143,000 miles long has been observed above the sun’s equator, on what would be the northern hemisphere of the earth, by the Naval Observatory. Also in the northern latitude of the sun is a ,sunspot group movmg as Is cust- omary, from east to west. In the southern latitudes are five scperate groups of spots, some of them con- taining as many as three spots. This aggregation is the greatest outburst of sunspot activity since last summer and seems to have appeared first about two months ago. Within the next month (the exact date is uncertain) the giant ZOO-inch glass disc, which will eventually be the great mirror for the observatory of the California Institute of Tech‘ nology on Mt. Palomar, will he re— moved from the annealing ovens of the Corning Glass Works. Now at 302 degrees fahrenhcit, the huge glass disc is still far above the tem- perature at which it is safe to re- move it from the carefully controlled cooling process. Recent tests show that inexpensive paper windows trasmit ultraviolet light effectively enough, so that they might be substituted for the expen- sive ultraviolet glass in some tuber- culosis clinics. Science News Letter Because the usual color for star- fish in Long Island Sound is pink, oystermcn in those waters are being startled by the appearance of blue members of the species. However, they have been dyed that color by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries in order to trace their migrations. A powerful anilin dye, Nile blue, proved well adapted for the purpose, one ounce being enough to stain 25,000 starfish.

SlDELlNES (Continued from page 1) financial houses in this country. Th: amount must be great, for the our :haoes made here since June hav' been enormous. In addition to the large quantities of airplanes, guns and munitions procured here, there were ordered vast numbers of ex- pensive machine tools. All of these materials were bought through financing rather than with cash. BASING THE OPINION upon the lesson learned from the World War, paper business of this sort would play more havoc with our present plight than any other conceivable manipulation. Should the fortunes of war go against Italy, the financial houses holding the paper would, as they did in the last crisis, turn to the government for aid in safeguard- ing their investment. Were we so very fortunate as to then be able to avoid participation, we should still he forced to pay the bill, for repudiv ation by European debtors has be— come the vogue. Athletic Dept.
