ers.
Prof. Claude Eggertsen of the
School of Education will act as
moderator.

Out in the wild and woolly West,
the tradition of the good old
knock-down, drag-out fight lives
on.
Of late such activity, as a form
of legitimate student diversion, has
fallen into disrepute at mid-West-
ern and Eastern college campuses.
BUT ITS POPULARITY seems
to be undiminished at the rugged
frontier metropolis of Boulder,
Colorado, where a monster student
riot drew only smiles of approba-
tion from the local constabulary
last weekend.
An estimated, 400-odd students
and players took part in the fra-
cas which strained athletic re-
lations between the University of
Colorado and Colorado A&M to
the proverbial breaking point.
Only a few of the participants
required so much as casual first
aid, however, perhaps attesting to
the diligence of the campus police
and sheriff's deputies who inter-
vened only to prevent the use of
weapons other than fists.

WHEN CHAFFED by the local
citizenry because of their hesi-
tancy, rueful gendarmes explain-
ed that there were too few of them
on the scene to stop the entire
scrap and so they merely stood by
in a supervisory capacity while
the students rioted happily until
dusk.
Hard feelings over the affair
were quickly dispelled as the

Ohio State University is con-
ducting an extensive campaign to
raise $35,000 to send its band to

60,000 letters have been mailed to
alumni around the country. Ap-

did two years ago in the person of
a large automotive firm.

FROM THE University of Min-
nesota comes word that the good-
night kiss is here to stay. Many
have already suspected as much
but at last an official confirma-
tion has been issued by a YWCA
"Fun and Facts" date panel.
The panel cautioned, however,
that kissing on the first date
may put "too much emphasis on
the physical relationship."
A tradition has been shattered
at Harvard where campus boosters
were saddened last week by the
revelation that the University does
not possess the only trapezoidal
dining hall in America.
* * *
A GANG OF surveyors employed
by the Leverett House Civic Im-
provement Society discovered that
the hall was trapeziform in shape
rather than trapezoidal.
"Trapezoidal means like a trape-
zoid, or two sides parallel," ex-
plained a disillusioned spokesman.
"The hall was discovered to be
trapeziform, meaning that none of
the sides are parallel."
"In other words the whole room
is a confused mess," he wailed.
"The only normal thing about it
is that the floor is parallel to them
ceiling and we're not exactly sure
of that."
DEPARTMENT PROJECT:
Speech Group To. Present
One-Act Plays Tuesday
Visiting high school teachers'1
took a peek behind the scenes att
the newly remodeled Angell Hallt
radio studios and starred in an on-
the-spot radio play yesterday at a
speech department radio clinic.1
Highlighting the clinic was at
presentation of 0. Henry's "A1
Lickpenny Lover," the story of a
department store romance, per-1
formed by the visiting teachers
under the direction of Garnet Gar-
rison, director of the clinic.

IN A DEMONSTRATION of just
what goes into a University radio
production, the teachers were audi-
tioned and rehearsed for the re-
corded presentation.t
Each of them will be sent ac
recording of the production.t
Participation by the teachersi
in the impromptu sketch shouldi
give them a practical idea of the
problems that both they and their,
pupils encounter in the course of
turning out a radio broadcast, ac-
cording to Prof. Garrison.
DEMONSTRATIONS of three
regular student programs, Journal
of the Air, Red Feather of the
Air and Down Story Book Lane
were reviewed and discussed in
light of the type, technique and
value of high school productions.
The important part that audi-
tioning plays in any radio pro-
duction was discussed by Merrill
McClatchey of the speech de-
partment.
Outlining the procedure used at
the Angell Hall studios, McClat-
chey said that auditioning is held
once at the beginning of each se-
mester using standard dramatic
material. Radio classes are on con-
stant watch for new or improved
talent, he added.
Attorneys Will
Talk Here on
Law Practice
Four Michigan attorneys will
discuss problems of entering the
practice of law at 3 p.m. Tuesday,
in Rm. 100, Hutchins Hall.
Washtenaw County Prosecutor,
Douglas K. Reading will outline
problems and opportunities of a
prosecuting attorney, while the
starting of a private lawdpractice
in a small city will be described
by Theodore Van Dellen, of Al-
bion.
Paul Trigg, of Detroit, will dis-
cuss practice with a large firm in
a big city and Alfred W. Hewitt,
of Grand Rapids, will outline law
practice in a middle-sized city.
There were dark doings in Rad-
ford, Va., yesterday, according to
the Associated Press.
A fire burned a wall in the fire
department.
Officials of the First and Mer-
chants Bank had to get a short
term loan from the People's Bank
of Radford so they could begin
operations.

THREE textile plants couldn't
work on their textiles.
The Radford News Journal de-
cided to forego its regular Satur-
day edition, then reconsidered and
published an abbreviated edition
in late afternoon.
The whole trouble was no elec-
tricity in part of the city. A car,
by snapping off a power pole,
did the job at 2:35 a.m.
It caused a short circuit in the

fire department switchboard. That

THE FIRST and Merchants
Bank had plenty of money. But it
was locked in an electric time lock
vault. The vault wouldn't yield so
the First and Merchants restocked
temporarily from the People's
Bank.
Just the simple matter of lack
of current delayed operations at
the newspaper, hundreds of
homes and the three industrial
plants.
A side issue was the plight of
dozens of dance-bound girls at
Radford College. They had sent
their evening gowns to a cleaner
who promised return of same in
time for a dance at Virginia Tech
last night. The cleaner got caught
in the electric famine.
Electricity came back on at 1:40
p.m.

Within ten years automobiles
may be powered by gas turbine
engines, according to George
Christopher, former president of
the Packard Motor Co.
"While the car of 1959 may not
be powered by atomic energy, it
is quite likely to have under its
hood a small, simple and ex-
tremely economical gas turbine,"
Christopher said in a recent maga-
zine article.
Although two English automo-
bile companies and the Czecho-
slovakians have reported success-
ful utilization of the turbines,
this is the first statement by an
American automotive official on
the possibility of using this type
of engine, according to Prof.
Frank L. Schwartz of the mechnai-
cal engineering dept.
Unlike the conventional auto-
mobile power plant, the gas tur-
bine is not a reciprocating en-
Like Bride's Biscuits

but not the kind they make in Af-

duced there is so tough and leath-
ery that it is used as a plate for

soups.
gine. It has no moving pistons
and no crankshaft but derives its
energy from tremendous heat and
pressure rather than explosive
force.
"The reciprocating engine has
reached its peak of development
and it is likely that the use of the
new gas turbine will begin with
buses, trucks and other large com-
mercial vehicles rather than pri-
vate automobiles," Prof. Schwartz
said.
Some of the advantages of the
gas turbine are the use of cheaper
fuels, the lack of need for the
shifting of gears, and the eli-
mination of an expensive cooling
system, Prof. Schwartz explained.
Fuel consumption in the gas
turbine engine would be high, but
this problem will be solved by the
introduction of better metals in
the engine, he said.
The space occupied by the gas
turbine engine depends on its posi-
tion in the car, but in all prob-
ability it would be smaller than
the present reciprocating engine.
Another problem involved in
the use of the gas turbine is the
loud noise created by the engine.
"These and many other defects
of the gas turbine engine can be
remedied if only a small part of
the time expended in the develop-
ment of the reciprocating engine
were spent improving the gas tur-
bine," Prof. Schwartz declared.
