Inspector Lester Tells Of 0-Man Training, Work At Gerlinger Assembly Inspector W. H. Drane, assembly speaker yesterday explained in detail the operations of the 666 special agents of the FBI and their slogan, “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.” The organization operates through 55 field offices, locating its agents according to calls for their services. Although college training is not the only requirement of the “G-man,” 84 per cent of the present staff are graduates of universities, and the average number of degrees per individual is two, Mr. Lester said. .Entry into the FBI requires “unimpeachable” character, ac cording to the inspector, who pointed out that only one out of 5,000 applicants are accepted. The bureau renders a great ser vice to the United States for its annual $5,800,000 appropriation, according to the Rhodes scholar, who showed how the work of the agents saved the government $42, 000,000 last year in its work against criminals. Depicting the diversified back grounds of the FBI personnel, the inspector reported that the bureau includes 193 men speaking more than one language, representatives of 178 different businesses, 28 aviators, 72 college instructors, three gocljd football teams, and everything from an artist’s model to a hypnotist. The scientific system of finger printing was lauded by the crim inologist, who pointed out that | the 8,500,000 sets of finger prints in the Washington office make possible the identification of more than 50 per cent of prints sent into Washington. Illustrating the infallibility of this perfected system of identifica tion with numerous stories of criminals who attempted unsuc cessfully to obliterate their prints, Mr. Lester said that finger prints “acquit the innocent as well as convict the guilty.” The fact that one out of five persons arrested for criminal of fenses is in the high school or col lege age brackets was noted as deplorable by the inspector, who believes in “self-expression for high school students, but not in self-expressing themselves into the penitentiary.” Mr. Lester also reviewed the other scientific methods used by the FBI, including ballistics and laboratory techniques, which make conviction possible on the basis of apparently insignificant clues. In spite of the excellent work of his department, less than one third of the yearly 12,000 commit ters of murder or manslaughter are convicted, and these for an average sentence of only three years, he pointed out. In conclusion he asked every student to repeat a "solemn prom ise to do my best to be a law abid ing citizen.” Mr. Lester has also made several addresses at the ses sions of the Commonwealth Con ference, which closed last night.

All you have to do is smile real pretty at a male, give him two months to hang around, then -tnrti going out with someone else.

Nothing except a “no hrost tie squabble and the pin goes back. This day and age pins fairly fly. *'Yes, he gave her a pin last week but Jack asked her out and she just had to accept,” is the by word around sorority houses. There are girls who go through college collecting as many frater nity pins as they can just to tell the sisters about them. In an inter view, a girl who had four pins dur ing her two and a half years on this campus, said, "Why not! I prefer to go steady,” and added that fraternity pins were fun to wear. Spring term is the most popular pin planting season. Whether it is because "in the spring a young man's fancy turns to things he's been thinking about all winter,” or because he feels he is playing safe to get it back when he goes home to mother cannot be determined. Through a survey of the sorority houses, it was found that if all the pics planted were averaged up, each sorority will have at least five more pins to its. credit this term than fall and winter terms. Several girls expressed the opinion that they would rather wear a pin dur ing spring, "because everyone else is either going steady or wearing a pin.” Tip: Only five more weeks of school to plant your pin, boys.
