CHICAGO COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY 1851-C Larrabee Street Chicago 14, Illinois Giving University coeds a chance to see fencing in action, Miss Paula Sweeney, winner of the National Individual and Team Foil Cham- pionship title in June and meni- ber of the U.S. 1952 Olympic Wom- en's Foil Team, will give a demon- stration tonight at 7:15 p.m. at WAB. With the call of "in line" an in- structor of fencing will face Miss Sweeney on the 40 foot long, 6 inch wide strip of canvas. After the sa- lute, the director's call of "on guard" will begin the bout. THIS SPORT of skill developed in U.S. during the latter part of the 19th century. Formerly a meth- od of settling disputes and griev- ances depending on muscles, it now is a battle of wits and nerves. Fencing provides training in hand-eye coordination. It de- velops speed, agility and good sportsmanship. The winner of a bout is decided by the number of touches to his credit. A touch, to be valid, must be in accordance with the rules and done so that a counter hit is prevented. * * * JUDGES keep count of the touches. When one is made the match is stopped. Play is resumed when the validity of the touch is determined. A light grip on the foil is most important in order to allow free- dom of movement. The foil is 431/ inches from the blunted tip of the blade to the end of the handle. All coeds interested in fencing classes or the advanced club are welcome. After the demonstration, Miss Sweeney will answer ques- tions about the fundementals and rules of the sport.

Come downtown to . ow silent is the Watching the serenity of Christmas skies we are conscious of deep silence. Yet the stars are talking to us all the while-talking in radio waves that are full of meaning to scientists probing the depths of space. The important discovery that some stars produce radio waves was made by a Bell Laboratories scientist while exploring atmospheric disturbances which might in- terfere with transoceanic telephone serv- night? And so from the probings and skills of Bell System scientists and engineers has come another tool to help man understand better the universe in which he lives. These men are a proud team-members of a still larger team engaged in research, engineering and administration and work- ing on telephone problems in all parts of the country.
