TUAL EMPHASIS:


Form Plans for Religion in Life Week

Ry PETER NOTTON
Students who think that their
worries about studying are over
when they leave college are in for
a. big letdown.
Worries weren't over for the 33
members of a Pontiac Foundry
who took a coure in engineering,
control last fall from Prof. F. B.
Rote of the Engineering School.
They just finished the 16-week
course and will receive their cer-
tificates of achievement Saturday
from Prof. W. 0. Boston.

Script To Dramatize
Geiger Counter Uses
The radio division of the speech
department will pres nt its second
special half-hour broadcast of this
semester at 10 p.m. today over sta-
tion WHRV.
The program will be an original
drama document, Atomic Age De-
tective, written by Ray Nadeau,
Grad. Nadeau's work is an exami-
nation of the innumerable uses
found for one of science's most
valuable tools, the Geiger Counter.
Authentic information for the
script was obtained through Ar-
thur Williams of the physics de-
partment.
Merrill McClatchey will direct
the program and the cast includes
John Rich, Donna DeHarde, DOn
Hall, Al Samborn, Stan Challis,
Nafe Katter, Jack Jensen, John
Reynolds, Bill Swisher, Tom
Cramer, Bill MacKenzie, Richard
Rifenberg, Maynard Newton, Mac
Barnum and Albert Fetting.
Wildrnan Elected
Tria gles Officers
Allen Wildman was elected vice-
president of the Student Religious
Association Council at a meeting
held recently.
The SRA Electorate, a group of
the more active members of the
Association which acts as a leg-
islative body, set Feb. 24 as the
date for its next meeting,
-_ - __ .._-. . .. .

"STUDENTS IN the course
ranged from the president of the
foundry, fourth largest in the
United States, to clerical and lab-
oratory personnel.
In five sections, the non-
credit course was designed to
get the best designs, materials
and equipment for casting parts
for a well-known bicycle motor
and other products of the foun-
dry.
It was initiated by the com-
pany as a service to Michigan In-
dustry, according to Rote, to help
firms in training personnel and
to put industry on a more con-
crete scientific foundation.
* * *
ROTE COMMUTED 50 miles to
Pontiac every Wednesday night
and Saturday morning all during
the football season.
"I enjoyed teaching the
course," he said, "but I missed
every last one of the football
games. Never again."
Rote said that lie was pleasantly
surprised by the seriousness of his
students. There were no sleepers
or even foot-shufflers in his
classes.
"THEIR AVERAGE was high
too," Rote commented. "In their
final exam which was as difficult
as the jun~ior and senior engi-
neering tests of theeUniversity,
their average was 10 per cent
higher than that of the students
here."
Rote emphasized that this was
a good challenge to the future
engineers and professional stu-
dents who will meet some serious
competition when they graduate.
Ad. Casualty
The BAd school has discovered
a new means of exterminating
rats!
All it takes is a beautiful mod-
ern building, a recently installed
elevator and a rat who doesn't
mind his own business.
Yes, the mystery of the over-
powering odor pervading the BAd
school on Tuesday has been
solved.
An intellectually curious rat,
possibly an accounting major,
was discovered decaying on top
of the ventilator of the elevator.
Suggestions as to the cause of
BAd school's first casualty range
from murder to electrocution.

WANTS ANOTHER NAME:
ousemother Says Title Scares Coeds

By ALICE BRINKMAN
"There ought to be another
name for housemothers."
"It scares girls away," Mrs.
Marjorie A. Strauss, house direc-
tor at Betsy Barbour, believes. I
"I would like to know all my
girls," she said, "especially shy
ones and those whom I could help,
but the title 'housemother' often
puts a barrier between us."
(The Daily chose Mrs. Strauss at
random, from among the many
campus housemothers, who face
similiar problems, to present the
housemother's viewpoint of her
job.)
Mrs. Strauss, who has 118 coeds
