(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third

By DOLORES PALANKER
Many students would rather see
this side of the world first, and
for this reason many universities
in North and South America have
planned courses to fit their re-
quirements.
Practically all schools in Latin
America offering courses for for-
eigners require two years of col-
lege Spanish. The University of

sored the events connected with
Homecoming.

Members feel, however, that
with active campus support, the
Legislature could better fulfill its
functions, and with this in mind,
plans are underway to make it
possible for all students to work
with the Legislature on the vari-
ous projects.
Descriptions of the individual
committees and their projects will
appear in subsequent issues of
The Daily, and students interest.

ister Neville Chamberlain felt this
"shock to confidence all the more
regrettable since confidence was
beginning to revive."
Chamberlain explained that in
taking over Bohemia and Moravia,
Hitler was occupying non-German
areas for the first time.
Lord Halifax felt the same
"shock to confidence," while a
spokesman for the British Labor
Party charged appeasement with
the responsibility for British "hu-
miliation and shame."
Premier Edouard Daladier lost
little time in asking for sweeping
executive powers to enable France
to act as rapidly as the dictator-
ruled nations.
It was a time for decision.

Students Debate
A student discussion of Uni-
versity methods of instruction will
be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow in the
Rackhamn Lecture Hall as the sec-
ond speech assembly of the semes-
ter.
"Resolved: That the existing
educational policies in American
colleges and universities are 11,1
satisfactory," will be debated in
the cross-examination style.

Upholding the University will
be Dorothy Gutekunst, Grad., and
Donald Mitchell, '48. Deborah Ra-
binowitz, '49, and Duane 'Sunder-
man, '49, will criticize present ed-
ucational methods.
The debate is open to the pub-
lic.

In the $7,057,000 request for ad-
ditional building, the University
is asking funds to construct an ad-
dition to Angell Hall, an addition
to the general library, a motor
service shopand a fire station.
Building Age
Niehuss pointed out that the
age of the lit school buildings
ranges from 24 (Angell Hall) to
107 (Mason Hall). "An addition
to Angell Hall would replace three
buildings which were declared un-
fit for use 25 years ago," he de-
clared.
Citing a need for library expan-
sion, Niehuss said the last remod-
eling was done in 1915. "At pres-
ent the library has three times as
many students using it as then,
and houses four times as many
volumes of books."
Motor Service Shop
Niehuss declared a motor service
shop is badly needed to service the
150 motor units the University
now operates and which must at
present be repaired outdoors.
The fire station would be built
in cooperation with the city at a
spot near campus. "We're very
lucky we have had no serious fires
in these condemned buildings but
we need more than luck, we need
concrete fire protection," Niehuss
said.

Automatic enlargement and cm-
bossing of printed or wvrit ten ma-
terial so that the blind may read
by touch is the work of a new
machine recently assigned to the
Bureau of Psychological Services.
The machine is the Faximile
Visagraph, developed by Radio In-
ventions, Inc., of New York, under
the sponsorship of the National
Research Council's Committee on
Sensory Devices. It is one of a
number of mechanical aids for
the blind produced under this
committee's direction and the sec-
ond to be assigned to the Univer-

sity for psychologicl evaluation,
i first was the electronic pen-
cil.
Two cylind rs and a photoelec-
tric cell are iajor components of
the Visagraph. On one cylinder is
placed the printed page or map
or diagram which is to be repro-
duced.
A beaim of light scans the page
as the cylinder revolves, and by
means of a photoelectric cell ac-
tivates an embossing device which
operates as the second cylinder
turns. This second cylinder is cov-
ered with a sheet of aluminum foil.
