'Chess Champion Shows His Skill

By WALLY EBERHARD
A champion showed his form in
a smoke-filled room at the Union
last night as only the quiet click-
ing of moving chess men broke the
silence.
Don Byrne, Grad., who won the
U.S. Open Chess Championship at
Milwaukee this summer, moved
quickly and smoothly about the in-
ner circle of two rows of tables as
he matched wits with 18 members
of the Michigan Chess club.
The champion defeated all 18
opponents.
Playing such a multiple game
is nothing new with Byrne and
he claims no special tricks or
gimmicks to help him in his con-
tests. He says he has played as
many as 40 at one time, but
could play more if necessary.
However, he remarked, it's a "bit
trying" to move continually
around the circle in such a fa-
shion.
Byrne seldom spent more than a
few seconds in front of each rival
as he made the rounds of the play-
ing circle. His stops became leng-
thier as the match wore on, but
hardly ever took more than a min-
ute.
* * *
THE "WHITE" chessmen were
used by Byrne in the match, giv-
ing him the offensive advantage
of having the first move in each
contest.
Club President John Penquite,
'57, said that Byrne was current-
ly rated number 11 in "national
chess rankings, but added that
this would change when revis-
ions are made to include the
summer championship matches.
Currently rated a "master"
chess player by the national organ-
ization, Byrne will probably ac-
quire a "senior master" rating
when the new evaluations appear.
This is the second highest rating
in the chess world.

BYRNE, 23 years old, was ini-
tiated into the game at the age
of seven but "didn't play much un-

The chess club at Michigan is

are possibilities of a future

'U' Students May Praetice
Teach Outside Ann Arbor

In the near future University
student teachers may be practice
teaching much farther away from
campus than Tappan Junior High
School.
A plan which would enable stu-
dents to practice teach in Grand
Rapids, Flint, Saginaw, Battle
Creek or Detroit is under consider-
ation in the education school.
RECENTLY, education students
have been asked to fill out a ques-
tionnaire to determine the extent
of student interest in the project.
The questionnaire asks first if the
student would be interested in the
project and then what type of pro-
gram he thinks would be most de-
sirable.
One part of the questaionnaire
asks if the student would be in-
terested in residence in anoth-
er city for an entire semester
with eight student teaching
credit hours given.
Another part concerns residence
in a city for the entire semester
securing 15 credit hours of under-
graduate professional work which
includes student teaching. The
third proposes a half semester on
campus and a half semester in an-
other city earning 15 hours of
pro-fessional credit.
"PROFESSIONAL credit" is ex-
plained by Dean Willard C. Olson

of the School of Education, as
courses, including practice teach-
ing, which fill the requirements
for a certificate in education.
Programs similar to this now
exist in Grand Rapids and Flint.
Graduate students living there
receive University credit through
the University extension service.
In Flint there are resident facul-
ty members and about 20 regular
University courses are offered. In
Grand Rapids only an education
program is offered.
If a program is set up enabling
students to practice teach in oth-
er cities, they will pay regular tui-
tion and will be responsible for
their own room and board, Dean
Olson said.

By DAN LESS
With a mass exodus of Univer-
sity students to East Lansing on
tap this weekend, here is a short
orientation on " MSC campus
adornments and traditions.
Like the University and its ar-
boretum, MSC has a "Pineetum"
(accent on middle syllable), lo-
cated on the east side of the cam-
pus along the Red Cedar river,
which divides the mile-square
campus.
* * *
HOWEVER, the Pineetum's
flora consists mainly of pine trees,
as the name implies, and its area
is much smaller than that of
Michigan's wilderness tract. The
Pineetum, like the Arboretum, is
the butt of much stale humor.
Near the northwest side of
Macklin Stadium, close to a .
parking lot, is a large stone

statue that's sure to be seen.
It is "Sparty," a Spartan war-
rior who signifies the bravery
and ruggedness of MSC football
players.
And State has on its campus a
small, but picturesque carillon
tower, by the name of Beaumont,
that bongs out the time of day
just like Burton, only not so loud.
There is a tradition about. this
tower.,
Before a freshman woman can
become an "official coed" of
MSC, she must be kissed in the
shadow of the Tower at mid-
night.
This custom is adhered to just
as little as is the University's tra-
dition of making freshmen women
"official coeds"-the ceremony of
osculation under the Engine Arch
at midnight.
There is a slight difference be-
tween the two schools, thdugh.
MSC does not seem to feel as
much apprehension as Michigan
does about women students "stay-
ing out late." State women-may-
be they're more mature-have 1
a.m. permission every Friday and
Saturday night.

Once there was a Senior who was
Shy. (Look, this is a story. It per-
mits certain liberties with the truth.)
He'd call up a Girl, stammer in-
coherently through the Preliminaries,
gurgle helplessly through the Biclis-
pids, and hang up. Dateless. One day
his room-mate took him in hand.
"Herman, old buddy," he said, .. .
and unfolded a Plan.'
Next day the Big Girl on Campus
got a Telegram. A terse message.
Simply: "Will pick you up at eight
P.M. Friday. Regards. Herman H.
Glockenspiel." She was Intuckered
and waiting when Herman sheep-
ished up the steps of her Sorority
house.
"Are you Herman H. Glocken-

spiel?" she cooed. "Ulp," said Her-
man. "Ooooh," she said, taking his
arm, "I just love Original, Masterful
Men." Herman was on his way. t
Now Herman has more dates than
the Syrian Desert. Still makes 'em
all by Telegram. No fool, this Her-
man.
When you've got a Date in mind
-Whether it's with the Campus
Queen, a Smith Siren or a Big Mo-
ment Back Home-a Telegram has
the Man-of-the-world Approach that
pleases. Equally effective, too, for
birthdays, Mother's Day and Easter

AND DEVELOPMENT
Call for Knowledge, Ingenuity, Teamwork
Making new products in large amounts, devising new proc-
esses, and improving old ones-such problems are the job of
Design and Development. An example was the development
of a large-scale process for making "Orlon" acrylic fiber
starting from small laboratory samples of polyacrylonitrile.
Quantity production of polymer was only a beginning. A
whole set of new and unusual problems arose in spinning the
fiber, because polyacrylonitrile decomposes before it melts,
and it dissolves only in high-boiling solvents.
A team of Du Pont technical men-chemical and mechan-
ical engineers, instrumentation specialists, metallurgists,and
materials handling experts undertook to find a solution.
Here are a few of the problems they met:
1. Solve problems in heat transfer and fluid flow
arising from the fact that the spinning solution
must be blanketed with inert gas to prevent fire
hazards.
2. Design a system for controlling the tempera-
ture of the viscous spinning solution within ±0.5*F.
at hundreds of points in the plant.
