Ethereal Gazers Spy (Continued from page one) center. On these blanks are re corded such information as direc tion of approaching plane or planes, number in the group if more than one, approximate speed, and if possible the iden tity. Expert observers are able to determine the exact number and even the type of planes in the formation. Each of thse reports turned in to the filter center are considered potential enemy plane reports unless there is definite in formation to the contrary. The filter center is informed by the air arms, of the nation’s forces if there are friendly planes operating in the area. The course of approaching planes can be traced at the filter center by not ing the reports coming in from outlying observation posts scat tered over a wide area. Women Besides the men working in 4-hour shifts at the posts, many women have volunteered from campus sororities to do secre tarial and filing work at the filter center downtown. Each group of six houses do watch duty at the post for a period of approximately five weeks, afterward turning over the job to another group. The houses lotate on the shifts during the week. Each living organization has a student member in charge of the observation duties.

Falconetti, who had no previous film experience, was an astonishing choice for Joan. This furor was aroused mainly because of her willingness to ap pear minues greasepaint and makeup. Photography Directed by Carl Theodore Dreyer, the film provides a de liberately limited experience of the whole situation and conflict, such as a contemporary witness might have happened to catch. The photography has a like ness to art photography, to por trait painting, and to sculpture. Beaumont Newhall writes that, “The Passion of Joan of Arc” is a display of the emotional power of photography. The lens of Ru dolph Mate's camera searches endlessly for the most significant detail of actors and setting which, once found, is focussed upon re lentlessly, until our eyes are all but satiated." The film will be shown all day today's, excluding the dinner hour. Students will be admitted on their educational activities cards. Piofound Tomes Fail to Divulge Color Secrets This is one on the professor. Dr. Will V. Norris, professor of physics and head of the utilities division of the faculty defense council, received a new formula for mixing a blackout paint which had been successfully used in England. One of the ingredients called for was vegetable black. But Mr. Norris had never heard of vegetable black so he consulted a chemical dictionary. The term wasn’t there. He went to the library and looked for it in several others but still he couldn’t find it. He even called in a number of his fellow scien tists but they were of no help to him. It was Eyler Brown, associate professor of architecture and in charge of blackout work for the defense committee, who finally solved the mystery. He simply looked for vegetable black in a Webster’s standard - dictionary and found a full explanation of the term. Aw Shucks, I'm Second Again! Coincidence struck home on the University campus last Monday night when several houses elected their next year’s officers. Loyd Manning, newly chosen Sig Ep president, had just received news of his election. Smiling broadly, he rushed to the phone to call Helen Holden, the girl with whom he’s been go ing steady for the past four years. Calling a number, he finally got her and was about to reveal the glad tidings when she gasped out, “Oh. Loyd, what do you think happened ? I’ve been elected pres ident of Hendricks hall!’’ “Gee, it’s swell that we both were elected,” said Manning when he’d recovered, and then, with just a tinge of disappointment entering his voice, “but a guy does like to crow once in a while when he receives an honor.” Grads Visit Campus Westminster house has had an unusual amount of graduate vis itors this week. Bob Otto, former architecture major and now in the civil service, came back, as did Victor Bryant, ’34, and Anne Dean, ’41, former president of Westminster house and social service worker. Franklin and Marshall college will receive about $30,000 from the estate of Benjamin F. Faclcen thal, Jr., former chairman of its board. 17 Naval Officer To Quiz Men Lt. Commander J. F. W. Gray, U.S. navy, will visit the campus Wednesday, March 4, to obtain applications of college men for the various commissioned classes of the naval reserve and inter view those who have already sub mitted applications. A medical officer will accom pany him to conduct physical ex aminations. “Students appointed in the 9# ficer classifications handled by Lt. Commander Gray will be per mitted to remain in college until awarded their degrees,” an nouneerrfent sent to Dean Virgil D. Earl said. “In fact, if they do not receive degrees they will be dropped from the naval reserve.” CPT Life Rates Reduced Again Life insurance underwriters have voluntarily reduced rates for civilian pilot training stu dents for the seventh time since the first program in 1939, J. C. Stovall, CPT coordinator revealed last week. Mr. Stovall also an nounced plans for the programs under way at present. In regard to the insurance cut Mr. Stovall informed that the rates for a $3000 policy were first $35 per student and are now slightly under $5 for each trainee. Those taking the course this term will pay about 20 per cent less insurance fees than those in the recently completed program. Flight training for both sec-» ondary and primary students will be held at Klamath Falls begin ning this May, Mr. Stovall said. Ground school instruction, now under way, will be completed here before the men are sent east of the mountains to engage in actual flying. The change in the flying base was made necessary by army orders that no civilian planes fly in the zone west of the Cascades. “Applications for summer pri mary or secondary will be ac cepted now,” Mr. Stovall stated. He explained that the summap course will be held at Klamath Falls with both ground school and flying being taught there. This program is slated to begin around July 1 and last until Sep tember 15. Main change in CPT require ments is the lowering of the age limits to include prospective trainees who are 18 years old. 1 Sport Coats Sport Shirts Sport Slacks Robertsons MEN'S WEAR QUALITY FOR LESS S32 Willmt.
