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.

dent report cards and otner similar
information. 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."
