Winfield Lands American Aid To Chinese (Continued from Page 1) that the Communists are going to rule China for a while must be ac- cepted, but we can check its spread to the rest of the Far East." 'By keeping alive American contact with China, which can be achieved through U.S. sup- port' of Chinese students in America, we can someday look forward to democracy's triumph in that country." Winfield is now the promotion secretary for the United Board for Christian Colleges in China and has written a book entitled "China, the Land and the People." By DAVE THOMAS 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. * 'I' * 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 Current Failure Causes Odd Doings in Rad ford -Dai1y-Herb Harringtoni IMPROMPTU SHOW-Visiting high school teachers attending a speech department radio clinic yesterday are shown enacting an on-the-spot radio play in the newly remodeled Angell Hall radio studios. Coached by Prof. Garnet Garrison, director of the clinic, the teachers received a practical idea of the problems involved in turning out a radio broadcast. * * * * dean of one of the schools mum- bled something about an objec- tive chat between the adminis- tration of the institutions Involv- ed, adding enthusiastically, "I'm looking forward to next year."' Ohio State University is con- ducting an extensive campaign to raise $35,000 to send its band to the Rose Bowl along with the foot- ball team come January 1. Over 60,000 letters have been mailed to alumni around the country. Ap- parently the OSU crowd hasn't been able to dig up nice generous "angel" as the Michigan touters 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 Read and Use Daily Classified Ads fire department switchboard. That started the fire there. * * * 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. d PEEK INTO FUTURE: Gas Turbine Engine May Run Automobile of Tomorrow JUNIOR HOLIDAY FOR THAT IMPORTANT WE CAN END YOUR CHRISTMAS APPLIANCE WORRIES WITH OUR 4 Floor Lamps, Bed Lamps, Study Lamps, Silex Coffee - makers, Hot Plates, Electric Mixers, Irons, Toasters, Waffle Irons, and Clocks Ernst Electric Shop , 205 E.

By NORM MILLER 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 "Pass the biscuits, Mirandy"- but not the kind they make in Af- ghanistan. The staff of life pro- duced there is so tough and leath- ery that it is used as a plate for other foods, and pieces of it are folded to form spoons for eating 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.
