By GERALD DeMAAGD
John W. Sweeney is technically
the editorial assistant of the Uni-
versity Development Council, but
his job includes more than prepar-
ing promotional material.
It is the aim of the Development
Council to solicit grants to the
University from private industry
and alumni. A part of Sweeney's
job is to re-write requests to busi-
ness that come from various de-
partments of the University. In
addition he acts as a trouble shoot-
er for Alan W. McCarthy, Director
of Development Council.
Program Investigated
"The purpose of the 3rd Annual
Development Council Conference
held two weeks ago was to investi-
gate just how successful our pro-
motion has been," Sweeney said.
Present in Ann Arbor for the
conference were Development
Council board members, Alumni
Fund representatives, field repre-
sentatives, and loyal alumni who
are working with the University.
One-eighth Contribute
"We haven't been as successful
as we hoped to have been," Sween-
ey said. Only 8,738 alumni, about
one-eighth of the estimated 100,-
000 University alumni are -con-
tributing to the Alumni Fund he
pointed out. The Conference speci-
fically considered the actvities of
the Development Council program
for the past year, the third year
since the establishment of the
program. "In no case has the
program been a failure," Sweeney
said.
.Student Committee
The Student Relations Com-
mittee of the Development Council
tries to foster interest while the
student is still in school Sweeney
pointed out. The committee head-
ed by Daily managing editor Dick
Baroque Trio

Albinioni and Bach.

South bid and rebid clubs on his
minimal opening hand. In spite
of a six card suit north could not
generate much enthusiasm, hold-
ing a singleton in partner's suit.
The burden for imaginativeness
fell to west. When south opened
one club, west had neither the
suit nor the strength to make a
bid. But when it came his turn
to close the auction he* began to
think.
Why were north and south quit-
ting so soon? Both could have bid
spades or no trump, but neither
had. One west's conclusion was
that partner had strength and
spades. So now, although too weak
to bid his first or second turn,
he bid two spades.
This hand is, of course, from a
duplicate game. No rubber bridge
player would risk a possible large
set to compete against a part
score. His reward? Nine tricks.
After the normal club lead, west
drew trump and eventually lost
only two hearts, a diamond, and a
club.
North Plays
At most of the remaining tables
north was permitted to play the
hand at two hearts, and very few
found the defense which defeats
the contract.

Most easts led a diamond which
was won by the ace with a diamond
return won by north's king. De-
clarer could not draw trump yet,
lest he risk losing three spade
tricks. Thus he led a club, to
establish discards.
This west wins and leads a
spade. East wins as north covers
and takes the queen of diamonds
and a second high spade. The de-
fense has now won two spades, two
diamonds, and one club. A third
spade lead ruffs the dummy pro-
moting a trump trick for west.

The hands which attract the
most attention are the so-called
swing hands; those in which one
misstep can cost a partnership a
thousand or more points. These, of
course, are dramatic and of prime
importance in rubber bridge where
one such hand can make the day a
success.
In duplicate bridge the part
score hand becomes as important
as the game or slam hand. This
is because each hand makes the
same contribution to success or
failure in a tournament. Thus

Snyder, '57, and composed of in-

"It takes time to develop alumni
awareness," Sweeney said. "Har-
vard and Yale graduates expect
to support their private 'schools
but it is hard to do this at a state
supported institution."
People think the state will pay
for everything, he said, but there
are many things that we make
possible such as faculty grants,
fellowships, and out-of-state stu-
dent scholarships which the legis-
lature does not pay for.

GEORGE M. LINCOLN, JR., expects to receive his B.S. in met,
allurgical engineering from Lehigh University in 1957. George was
vice president of his junior. class, is active in sports, and a partici-
pant in many other campus activities. He's starting his employ-
ment investigations early, for he feels that the selection of an
employer is one of the most important decisions in a man's career.
Charlie Smith answers:
They have an almost endless variety of interesting
problems to face, George. As a student of metallurgy,
you know that about two-thirds of all known chemical
elements are metals. Many of them are revealing valu-
able new applications, when highly purified on a com.
mercial scale. Du Pont is greatly interested in several
metallic and semi-metallic elements.
My own experience at Du Pont ranges from work
on titanium pigments, to metallic titanium production,
and to the ultra-pure silicon used in transistors. You
can appreciate some of our metallurgical problems when
I point out that impurities in transistor silicon have to
be below one part in 100 million. That's equivalent to
one nound of imnurities distributed through a train of
