Ghalle+Ufe To Mr. Tom Hughes and Project Two, Here is a challenge from us to you. Between halves of the game Saturday night, We will take you on for a friendly fight. On the main floor, not out in the hall, We will teach you how to play Basketball. We will play clean and be real tough, But we’ll make your gang yell enough. We will run and shoot and make baskets too, And when it’s all over, we’ll have more than you. So get out your gang and rub them down good, ’Cause we’ll run them down right into the wood. Some of your gang think they are some prancers, But Saturday night will give all the answers. So if you accept this please let us know, As we are all set and rarin’ to go. We will give you a lot and then some more, Mike’s Mighty Maulers, of Project Four. —MIKE STEDDOM. «*il&\>X<ll semes RIDE AWAY on !

The University does not have one of these now, although it is expected one will be obtained this summer. In the meantime, the tabulator at the Eugene Fruit Growers association is used when the occasion demands. Mr. Constance, who supervises the record maintenance, said that because the machines were, and to some extent still are, experimental in application by the University, many points had to be corrected last term and results were not too good. However, these difficulties have been overcome and improvements will become apparent during the next registration. One improvement mentioned will be the availability of report cards on the first day of spring term instead of the usual two-week \\5git. Sets 25 Grades a Minute The key punch can record grades at an average of 25 a minute; the complete recording for each stu dent averages one every two min utes. Tabulators can set 75 lines a minute, or 6600 different characters in that same time. The sorter can sort and tabulate cards at a speed of 350, or more, a minute. Technical operation of the ma chinery is done by Warren Kraft, who spent two and a half years training for this type of work at the International Business school in Il linois. Following this, Kraft served three years in the navy doing simi lar personnel work. He is now en rolled as a freshman in the chemis try department, working on these machines during his off time. ‘‘These machines won’t think for themselves, but if you punch the buttons and tell them what to do, they’ll do it without any errors,” said Kraft. To demonstrated what he meant, Kraft, whose explanations and tech nical wordage sound definitely ex pert, pushed the proper buttons. Immediately statistical tabulations began to pyramid on the many indi cators over the machine. The fig ures thus obtained, when interpret ed by Kraft, were like a composite survey of a school census. Working with Kraft is Mrs. James B. Maxwell, wife of a student veter an enrolled in the art school. Full operation Spring Term During spring vacation, the ma chines will operate as many hours a day as necessary to complete the registration in record time, accord ing to C. E. Avery, University reg istrar. Extra, part-time help will be needed and if there are any students who have had IBM experience, eith er in the service or for private con cerns, they can obtain work at good pay. Anyone desiring further in formation should see Mr. Constance on the second floor, Johnson hall. Do you believe in THRIFT? "'I’m a regular Scotsman for thrift. I never throw away anything that I can use again. "Every year I salvage millions and millions of pounds of metal from what you might call junk. ’’I collect all the old telephone equipment, wire and cable no longer useful to the Bell System . . . and all the machine scrap, turnings and rejected parts from the factories where I make Bell Telephone equipment. "I turn this scrap metal into bars and billets of refined metals and alloys out of which I make new telephone equipment. *'I salvage rubber, textiles and paper, too a a ; and anything I can’t use again, I sell. Nothing is wasted. "My thriftiness, as supply unit of the Bell System, is one reason why you get telephone service ; . . the world’s best a . . at the lowest possible cost. '’Remember my name. It’s Western Electtic."
