Classes are excused. This week’s prize for the strongest constitution goes to T. D. Fletcher, 56-yeaerld freshman at the University of Chattanooga, who already has qualified as a teacher, lawyer, and member of the Tennessee State Legis- lature. He hopes to graduate by the time he is 62. Sounds too shrill to hear are pro- duced by miniature fog horns on Harvard's table top “sea," used to study ocean signalling. The city of Cambridge plans to as— sess a “service charge” of about a million dollars against Harvard and M. I. T. to cover policing of football games and student riots, and removal of rubbish. We do not know just what they mean by rubbish. Students at Baker university after winning a 2 years’ fight to hold school dances, had to call their first dance ofi" because of the lack of interest. The advance sales did not justify hir- ing an orchestra. If 15 letters were added to the al— phabet, the English language could he learned in two weeks, says Dr. F. C.

As it is now it takes about two hundred years and then you're still wrong. ‘The pause that refreshes is or- ange juice," says Dr. Ruth Memmler of Los Angeles Junior College, who passes out more than two gallons of this precious drink during her thee hour laboratory session. Each day at 3 p. m. the class is adjourned for a few minutes necessary for absorbing; this invigorating liquid. The only thing wrong with this is that each girl has to pay a niche] for her drink. The tables have been turned at the University of Kansas, the teachers are now the apple-polishers for a Grade Your Prof. campaign has been going on for the last few weeks. The profs are beginning to see the good points in their students now. There are many anxious professors, and some have even gone so far as to make oil” with one of the ballot boxes. Students at Central Y are com- plaining about a certain prof of theirs who marks off on his students’ grades each time they are absent. But the wrong of it all is that the prof has been absent six times this semester. Dr. Thomas C. Paulter, second in command of the last Byrd Expedi~ tion, stated at a recent lecture be— fore students of R. P.

Since 1890 the growth in college and universities has beeen 4.7 times as great as the growth in general population. Dr. Graeme Hammond, 77, presi- dent emeritus of the Amateur Ath- letic Union, runs three miles every day. The Betas and S. A.

A 220-pound Montana State foot- baller lost 19 pounds in ten days when the coach decided he was over- weight for spring practice. University of Kansas coeds will have to dig deep for coins to help de- fray expenses on dates, according to the recent decision of the student gov- erning body.

On the list for Thursday are the intcrfratcrnity relays, interclass re. lays, junior—senior novelty competi. tions, and the track pentathlon, with separate classes for lettermen and non-lettcrmen. Thursday night the bonfire and other activities should find many on hand. At 10:30 on Friday athletes will receive their due recognition at the athletic awards assembly. This will be followed by the intcrfraternity pageant at noon, distribution of prizes at 2:30, and the freshman- sophomore rush at 3 o’clock.

A.S.lld.E. Hears Tall: l on Electric Controls’ Mr. John Leupold, engineer in charge of the Chicago office of the Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Company,‘ presented an illustrated lecture last Friday at the A. S. M. E. meeting on “Electrical Controls for Air Conditioning, Heating, and Von-i tilating Devices." Emphasis was placed by Mr. Lcapold on the neces- sity for engineers to correlate their! design with standard control equip- ment now available, rather than de. sign special control mechanism for each project. A miniature control unit was demonstrated for regulating air con. ditioning apparatus and the various| types of mechanism for modern con-l trol systems was explained. “Young engineers are usually overcome with the glamour of air conditioning for cooling," said Mr. Leupold, “but far- more engineering work is necessary in air conditioning as associated with heating during the winter months.” In response to the great cnthusi. asm shown by the students for his talk, lVlr. Leupold announced his willingness to further explain and discuss electrical air conditioning control units at a future meeting. It was suggested such a meeting might be held in the evening to al- low more time for discussion. In response to the student interest in air conditioning, the A. S. M.
