I TT~t MICflUAN t~Attv ... ....... DOUSE THE GLIM! Nurses Object to Illumination Of Dorm's 'Dark Doorway' They've added a new twist to an old song up at Couzens Hall these days - it's "The Old Lamp- lighter" back again, but this time he "makes the porch a little brighter." It all started about a week ago when the women's dormitory was suddenly illuminated by the glare from two symmetrically and stra- tegically placed street lights on the Couzens front lawn. Caustic Comments One indignant nurse describes them as "an insult to our integ- rity." Another: "The lights definite- ly ruin the ,home atmosphere. Af- ter all our mothers do not turn on the porch lights when we come home at night." The lights are not where they are needed, according to another coed. She apparently referred to the wave of one and two-minute latenesses last weekend that re- sulted because "there are no clocks in the garden back of Cou- zens Hall." Sun-Like Rays Less romantically-inclined co- eds complain about the uncom- fortable glare cast in the front rooms by the powerful lamps. Ac- cording to a report reaching The Daily, one nurse unwittingly arose at 5 a.m. a couple days ago, only to discover that "the sun wasn't shining after #all." To most of the nurses, however, the twin sentinels are just another part of a well-planned compaign to combat the boast that Couzens has "the darkest doorway on cam- pus." They can trace it back to last fall when Couzens Hal: was stripped of its surrounding sh ub- bery, and last summer, when a large tree was torn out of the front lawn., Shrubbery Gone, Too Some veteran campus observers think there may be some connec- tion between this campaign and that mysterious whim which caused the shrubbery to disap- pear from Betsy Barbour two years ago. The note of protest is not unan- imous. At least one coed thinks the lights themselves are nct too bad, but smaller watt bulbs could be used. "Right now it looks like a police station," she asserts. 'U' To Air Program "The Case of the Coiled Spring," second in a new series of weekly radio programs produced by the speech department in coopera- tion with the University Broad- casting Service, will be broadcast over station WKAR at 2:30 p.m. today. Federalists To Con tin ie Drive bor Members Students interested in joining the United World Federalists will have another chance today from 8 to 11 a.m. in University Hall. Federalist members will be on hand to explain the work of the group toward an international world government for peace and accept membership applications. George Shepherd, president of the University chapter of the Fed- eralists, volunteered for special field work at the end of the pre- sent semester along with 15 others at the organization's general as- sembly, Nov. 1, at St. Louis. The fifteen college students will leave their classes and travel on a bare-expense basis, organizing new Federalist chapters and mak- ing speeches in the area in which they live. New members will have a chance to get acquainted with the Uni- versity group at a Federalist- sponsored all-campus mixer from 8:30 p.m. to midnight today in the Hussey Room of the League. Tickets, priced at 50 cents each or $1 per couple, will be on sale at the door. Abbot To Edit Journal Waldo Abbot, director of Broad- casting Service at the University of Michigan, has been appointed an associate editor of the "Quar- terly Journal of Speech," Prof. Katz Says Oil Sborta ge Is Not Imminlenit The extretme concer boing shown at the present time by members of the petroleum in- dustry about an imminent short- age of liquid fuels is probably un- warranted, Prof. D. L. Katz, of the chemical engineering depart- ment, said yesterday. Questioned about the situation in the industry, Prof. Katz stated that present consumption of fuel oil products is about 30 per cent higher than the pre-war level. However, he said that he did not believe that the limit of our re- serves would soon be reached. Commenting on reports that another war involving the United States would put a staggering de- mand on our petroleum supplies and probably force us to turn to synthetic fuels, Prof. Katz said that the advocates of such a policy declare that they will need 16 million tons of steel to produce the additional fuel. "Use that amount of steel for the building of new petroleum production equipment," he said, "and we can get all the oil we will need." "It is the steel short- age which has been one of the main factors slowing production," he added. Prof. Katz labelled forecasters of dire,shortages, "just plain pes- simists."
