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

Silent Film

preting a character- in a costume
piece. Mile. 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.

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.

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.
