Hey- wood, 414 Maynard St. Phone 5689. 27c By A. P. BLAUSTEIN In a daring raid last night, exe- cuted with what the lawyers called "characteristic finesse and aplomb," a groupgof barristers known as the "Legal. Eagles" invaded one of the strongholds of their enemy, the en- gineers, and walked off with the lat- ter's famed slide rule which has long been the most cherished possession of the College of Engineering. De Bonis Asportatis, official spokes- man of the Michigan barristers, re- fused to give any details of the raid early this morning. It was believed on reliable authority, however, that it was the lawyers' retaliation to a poster attack begun against them Monday in the Engineering Arch. All that Asportatis would reveal was that the Law Quad' was certain that "the event had undoubtedly in- stilled greater respect for the versa- tility of the young barristers."

If the engineers publicly retract "their libelous utterances of last Monday," they said, "we will promise to consider the restoration of the slide rule." Lawyers Have 'Saint' The barristers last Monday had been particularly incensed by the en- gineers' poster charge that the "shy- sters" had no patron saint to shed glory and honor on the legal profes- sion. "H--1, we haven't," Fred Niketh, '41L, was heard to splutter yester- day. "Our saint was a 13th century lawyer, Ivo. in Brittany, who, by rea- son of his unusual kindness and his efforts in behalf of unpopular causes of the common ma was canonized as Saint Ives."

I FC Will Hold Second Annual . . reek Week' Initiation Dinner Saturday To End Two-Day Meet Of Panel Discussions Greek Week, to be held here next Friday and Saturday will afford the; newly initiated members of Michi- gan's fraternities a chance to accli- mate themselves with their new at- mosphere, the University and each other. The two-day session will be fea- tured by panel discussions on fra- ternity problems and purposes, talks1 by national fraternity leaders and will be climaxed by an initiation banquet to be held Saturday when the neophytes will be formally intro- duced to fraternity life. Over 700 initiates are expected to attend. Last year's Greek Week, the firstl in the history of the University, brought noted fraternity leader and Michigan State College Dean, Norm- an Hackett, to the campus. The pan- els are modeled after Minnesota and Ohio State experiments in fraternity conferences. Interfraternity Council's Greek Week is an attempt to expand the traditional welcome to new initiates and to explain the purpose of fra- ternities and the roles the members are expected to play in Michigan Greek-letter life: James Harrison, '41, Phi Gamma Delta, and John DeVine, '41, Sigma Phi, are co-chairmen of the affair. Scientists Use Glass-Blowing For,'research Although it is one of the oldest skills known to man, glass-blowing plays an important part in the ad- vanced research carried on by the University physics and chemistry de- partments. Two glass-blowers, Gun- ther Kessler and Hurshel Hill, are kept busy 12 months of the year con- structing special apparatus that can- not be duplicated by machine methods. Have Dual Task These men have a dual task to ;erform. They not only make the special types of glass equipment needed by research workers, but they riso assemble the finished apparatus. Most of their work is so specialized that it can only be used for some particular experiment. Becausehof its complicated nature, they have found it more practical to build new apparatus rather than clean and re- pair the old. Mr. Kessler, who works with the physics department, has been follow- ing his trade for 36 years. He re- ceived his original training in Ger- nany and worked in Austria, France, and Japan before he became connect- ed with the University in 1926. Dur- ing the first World War he was called out of the trenches to work on the first radio power tube ever made in 3ermany. Besides his construction work, Mr. Kessler has redesigned the mercury vapor lamps used by his de- partment. Helps Make Decorations He finds his skill useful in less scientific efforts. While he has occa- sionally made a vase for his wife "if she needs one," his most extensive extra-curricular project was a set of decorations for a physics fepartment Christmas party. He constructed and painted models of formula signs, screen grid tubes, and other appar- atus befitting each faculty mnember's line of study. Christmas tree decor- ations were formed by blowing a glass bubble and then coating the in- side with a silver solution. Mr. Hill, of the chemistry depart- ment$ is unique'in the glass blowing profession, since he acquired his skill in his spare time while working in the University Chemistry store.

THE DASCOLA-'BARBERS Liberty off State RBy EDMUND GROSSERG The St. Lawrence Waterway will relieve the power bottleneck in New York State, an important center of defense production, Prof. Edgar Hoo- ver of the economics departient commented in an interview yesterday on the latest developments in the situation. An exequtive agreement between the United States and Canada for the immediate development of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River sea- way and power project was signed Wednesday. - Needs Simple Majority, The appropriations request will on- ly require a simple majority in Con- gress whereas the treaty ratification that was attempted in 1934 just missed passing because of the need- ed two-thirds majority, Professor Hoover pointed out. In additioh to the power that would be provided, he observed that the newly available facilities for pro- duction can greatly increase ship- building. Of course, its importance to the Latvian Group To Sing Here Greek Orthodox Setting Planned For Vespers Hill Auditorium will be trans- formed into a Greek Orthodox Church March 27 for the perform-f ance of the.Great Vesper by the Lat- vian Singers and two student chor- uses, under the auspices of Inter- fraternity and Panhellenic Councils. The "set" for the religious pre- sentation will be a screen reproduc- ing the iconostasis used in a Near Eastern place of worship. The lower half, constructed by Vincent Jukes, Grad., of Play Production, measures seven by eighteen feet with a three- foot opening in the middle. Two re- cesses have been built into its wood paneling 'to accommodate Russian religious pictures to be brought by the Latvian Singers. The Singers will also provide the upper half of the screen, which will create the effect of a cupola-roofed Russian skyline. - Underneath the pictures are. mounted brackets to hold the two candles which will be the only illumination in the Audi- torium during the performance. Jukes constructed the screen from a model sent by the Singers, and he also used several photographs of past productions. St. Lawrence Seaways Project Seen As National Defense Aid by the engineers but activities about - ---- a the Arch late last night left little t hChosen doubt that they had been set back 1 S O e by the sudden turn of events.

The seaway project would not be completed for three or four years, but it takes that long to build warships and merchant vessls and by the time they were ready the route would be open. Shortage Of Aluminum There are few ships afloat that could not be accommodated, under the present plans,' he continued. Large ocean liners, aircraft carriers and battleships could not use the waterway. New York State's production of aluminum, which represents about a third of the national product, has been curtailed by the shortage of power, he declared. This aluminum is important in the aircraft industry. Professor Hoover reported that only 164,000 short tons of aluminum plus remelted scrap was produced there in 1939 as compared to the 412,000 short tons estimated as needed in 1942 by Defense Commissioner Ed- ward Stettinius. New York used about 15 billion kilowatt hours of power in 1938, and possibly is consuming 18 or 19 bil- lion kilowatt hours per year at pres- ent, he pointed out. Midwest Will Benefit The St. Lawrence project might provide as much as 10 billion more kilowatt hours per year, he revealed. The defense need should be suffi- cient to require this. New York State is paying more than a third of the cost of the sea- way while- the Federal government and Canada will provide the rest. The Mid-West, he concluded, will get the benefits of cheaper trans- portation costs for shipping products such as wheat, and Detroit could use the ,facilities for the shipment of automobiles. , Art Collection student performance, to be given April 28 in Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre.

Gordon Andrew, '42, personnel chairman, will be in the office to answer any questions and to give an explanation of the type of extra-cur- ricular opportunity afforded by Con- gress. Students are especially need- ed to assume posts in the social and student welfare committees, and in the Student Employment Survey of which Congress, among other groups, is a sponsor. Congress is the organization which strives to serve independent men on campus in every way. Mr.We have inrour collection," said Mr. B. A. de Vere Bailey, director of I this Division, "rare old Chinese porce- lain, intricately carved jade, carneli- an lapis lazuli, and ivory. There are, also decorative pieces of cloisonne and examples of the painstaking methods used in making objects of lacquer. Another group includes Chinese offi- cial robes -and other costumes, and numerous textiles showing curious patterns and symbolic designs; sa- rongs, scarves and hangings from the looms of Burma, Persia and India. Strange idols in brass and bronze from Hindu temples and Tibetan shrines make a visit to this section of the Museum a memorable experience." The collections are maintained for research purposes to assist students in . various study projects and to enable them and others to gain first-hand information about various crafts and techniques represented.j Mr. Bailey has just completed some research work on a collection of Oceanian war clubs. These weapons are found in many areas of the South Seas, and, as their name implies, are chiefly made for combat purposes. Certain types, however, are used in burial rites, and a few figure in sym- pathetic magic. There are many kinds represented, and cannibals and coral- islands are among those picture in the strange shapes and odd ornamental designs.
