The Kappa Alpha Theta so- rority house at 1414 Washtenaw has been little more than a warm Siberia for the past week-it has 33 women and not a single tele- phone. THE THETA HOUSE has still1 not recovered fully from the con- struction work which forced its occupants to live in the League for the first two weeks of the se-j mester. They've been back home a week but they are still living in the midst of lumber, paint brushes and general confusion. Every morning all the women are routed out of bed promptly at 7 a.m. to make way for the be- mused workmen who swarm into every room of the house. Privacy has become a pleasant memory of the far distant past. x * Daily-Heggem.- THETA MIGRATION-Fresh from two weeks of quiet and luxury in the League, members of Kappa Alpha Theta are pictured moving back into their house, which has been undergoing repairs. Confusion and isolation because of no phones have reigned supreme for over a week as workmen (two of whom can be seen through the open door) hurry to finish the painting. the possibilities of enlisting car- isolation, the Theta's agree that rier pigeons and smoke signals their two week's stay in the League or the Sigma Alpha Epsilon tele- with its private rooms, room serv- phones next door. ice and private phones was "sim- Entering their second week of ply marvelous." Peacetime Use of Atom Neglected in Reseturch NEW YORK---(/)-The atomic age, now in its f-uirthi yc-ar, so far has delivered no important peacetime results to balanice the scales against .its destructive bombs. The major part of atomic progress still is centered on better bombs and on still newer radioactive atomic weapons. The only peacetime atomic products to date are radioactive atoms and some huge new laboratories. * * * * , THE RADIOACTIVE atoms are hailed, as one of the world's great accomplishments because they are important scientific tools. But these tools have not had time to produce much. They are beginning to speed chemical investigation, including medicine, agri- culture and biology, but the speedL-uip is still oinly a minor part of these great fields. Some experiments have been done in cancer, with every step so publicized that the gains sound large. But in no respect have any radioactive atoms added a new principle to cancer cures. They all do what radium has done. Less publicized, but of greater importance, are plans to use the atoms to try to solve the causes of malignant growths. But so far the atoms are only an added starter among many tools already searching the cancer field. THE GREAT LABORATORIES are still in the beginning stages, except the making of radioactive atoms at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Power, the great dream of the atomic age, is still completely lacking. In fact it is farther away from accomplishment in today's predictions than it was three years ago. The reason is international politics and fear of atomic war. The legal secrecy, imposed because of these, makes it impossible to know clearly ever how great the delay or how long it may continue. The first large postwar atomic furnace, or pile, is scheduled to go into operation at Brookhaven1 National Laboratory, Long Island. in December. When plans were first announced a year and a half ago, they included some power at Brookhaven for research. The new plant has enough heat for power, but the commnission has not announced whether any power will be made. S * AT THE ATOMIC BOMB laboratories, Los Alamos, New Mexico, there is a plant that has been called the watch charm power house because it is so small compared with other atomic piles. It is small because it uses almost pure bomb metal. It gives some heat, but not enough for useful power. If any major power problem has been solved in the United States, the fact has not been reported. Commissioners have said it may be 10 to 20 years to useful atomic power in the United States.f Scientists differ on the time, if power could be developed without the present handicaps of secrecy. Five years is a common guess, but it is seldom shorter. Lack of money is not the serious drawback to atomic power, Defense, by taking precedence, dominates the scientific and engi- neering work.

AMOS NEYHART, consultant on Road Training for the AAA, looks on as Ralph Hartwig, Ortanville High School teacher, tests his visual perception during one of the classes at the recent driver education institute held in the Union. Inside the case are two toy cars. Hartwig is looking through the top, towards a mirror at the oth erend of the room in which he sees the reflection of the cars. He then tries to bring the cars parallel to each other. After taking this test, many of the teachers decided that they would hesitate before trying to pass another car in the face of traffic. DUCAT DISPENSERS: Cashiers Take Long Look A1Movie - Going Patrons By RAY COURAGE The shoe was on the other foot last week as 70 high school teach- ers and police officers took up pencil and paper to attend the 11th annual Institute for Instruc- tion and Training in Driver Edu- cation, held in the Union. The institute was sponsored by the Department of Public Instruc- tion, the University School of Ed- ucation and EXtension Service, and the Automobile Club of Mich- igan. THE ATTENDING educators came from schools and cities in all parts of Michigan, on paid-ex- pense scholarships made possible to them by the Automobile Club of Michigan. Making a freshman schedule look like a holiday, the driver studentsw ere in class from 8 a m. until 9 p.m., with time out only for meals. While in class they received in- struction in all phases of driver training. Many of the teachers were amazed when confronted with results of tests which showed them that their reaction time was not as fast as they thought, or that their depth perception was not good. These tests, with which all the teachers became familiar, will be used by them as part of their stu- dent training course. * * * ALSO AVAILABLE to the high school teachers when they return to their schools, will be dual con- trol automobiles, given to the Au- tomobilesClub by two motor car companies. With a final objective of mak- ing available to all high school students a course in driver edu- cation, the Automobile Club of Michigan has been granting scholarships to high school teachers to attend these insti- tutes. With no immediate relief in sight the coeds are pondering FULL, RICH TONES: Students of Literary College To Organize Chorale Group weary Coeds Find Haven { Something new in choral organ- izations will begin rehearsals to- morrow afternoon. Students in the Literary College will get a chance to sing standard choral repertoire in the Arts Chor- ale, which will hold a brief or- ganizational meeting at 5 p.m. to- morrow in Rm. D, Haven Hall. ORGANIZED to satisfy the de- mand among these students for a literary college choir meeting once a week, the Chorale will eventually present concerts. Maynard Klein, associate pro- fessor of choral music and di- rector of the University choirs, will conduct the Chorale. Prof. Klein, who obtained his' master's from the University, is also director of choral music at National Music Camp, Interlochen, which is affiliated with the Uni- versity. * * * DEAN HAYWORD Keniston of the literary college, Dean Earl V. Moore of the music school and Dean of Students Erich A. Walter have assisted Prof. Klein and Li- Has Wagner, student chairman, in carrying out plans- At the first meeting, a defi- nite time and place for regular weekly rehearsals will be de- cided upon in accordance with the wishes of members. Prof. Klein is planning to pre- sent some of the great choral mas- terpieces in the shorter forms: motets, madrigals and part songs. A t League Weary women now have a place to rest between classes or while waiting for that coke date. Beyond a door marked "pri- vate" on the south end of the third floor of the Women's League two rooms are provided for sleep, rest or just relaxation. * * * The rooms were used early this fall for temporary coed housing. Opened last year for the first time by the League, the rooms' facilities include four beds, sofas and chairs. "Last year the rooms were in constant use, with one to four girls in bed all the time," said Mrs. Edith Wheeler, manager of the League. Made available for all campus women from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., the room may be used with no restrictions. By ROMA LIPSKY Movie goers may never look twice at the lass enclosed in glass who exchanges money for theatre tickets, but these gals get a pretty rood insight into the personalities of their patrons. The best mannered customers, according to Donna Fountain, pretty blonde cashier at the State Theatre, are young chil- dren. They are the most steady customers. the most polite, and .iake the cutest comments. "ONE EVEN gave me a birth- day present," she said, "but I don't know how he knew it was my birthday." Donna agreed with Delores Barth, brunette ticket seller at the Michigan Theatre, that the worst offenders are people who don't have their money ready and hold up the line. Commenting on the student pa- trons, Donna said they are "all right when I'm in a good mood- they're always wise-cracking, like trying to pay sixteen cents for a ticket."
