family because he has grown
old. It is a story of heartbreak
and cruelty presented with dis-
crimination and sensitivity.
Remaining selections in the
Summer NIBS are in a lighter
mood, characteristic of the sea-
son. Photographs have been used
to illustrate various articles
throughout the magazine, and a
color photo of the campus adorns

BEST IN NATION
Summer edition of NIBS has gone to the printers and will be
ready for distribution the last week of May, predicted Bill Rey-
nolds, editor, Monday.
Story content of the final issue is reputedly exceptionally
high. All the old contributors with the addition of Gene Nor-
ris, Tom Walsh, Gus George, and Le Roy Schuhmann are repre-
sented in the final edition. ♦>
Certain to cause favorable
comment is “Sixth Year Narra-
tive” by Ailee Prothro Erwin.
The essay presents vividly the
activities of the Farm Security
Administration since its inception
by the New Deal. The charm
and ease characteristic of Mrs.
Ervin’s fiction style are incor-
porated into this social study.
Not a pretty story but a real-
istic one is Avon Garrett’s “To
Happy Days.” It is the old, old
Twenty-first and last issue of
the ECHO for this year is this
week’s publication, the
James d’Autremont, CSC,
ulty adviser, announced
week. / Customary Commence-
ment issue will not be publish-
ed. ECHO, starting as a weekly,
changed at mid-term to a bi-
weekly because of financial dif-
ficulty.
It was a tough battle. The Uni-
versity’s cardinal, a pet bird
making its home near the work
shed, fought the usurping car-
dinal for ten minutes Sunday
morning. Growing tired our hero
in red flew high in a tree and
nursed his wounded beak.
Monday morning he resumed
the battle. When he shot in a
fast jab with his beak his oppo-
nent invariably countered with a
like movement. Never a coward
our befuddled boid fought until
he just couldn’t keep on. Twenty
minutes later he wearily flew
away. But who wouldn’t after
fighting his image in the hub-
cap of Paul Laurent’s car

New Laboratory
"Equipment Is Most
Valuable Received,"
Faculty Member Says
Most valuable equipment
the engineering department, in
the opinion of that faculty, is
a motor generator set received
this week. Fitted with A.C. and
D.C. auxiliary units, it is be-
ing installed in the new elec-
trical laboratory in the basement
*b<jf Holy Cross Hall.
TlStf A.C. generator has special
terminals 's*qc that by proper con-
nections singly phase, 2 phase,
3 phase delta, 3 pttS*^e, 6 phase
diamentrical and 12 phase’''
metrical power can be obtained.
A D.C. motor with interpoles
and standard starting box hav- ■
ing no load and overload releases
drives the generator. The set can
so be altered to operate with
D.C. power and A.C. intake.
A compensator enables the
A.C. unit to be started as an <
induction motor, then, with D.C. ■
excitation, to be run as a syn- <
chronous motor. The D.C. unit .
thus operates as a D.C. generat- :
or. Amortisseur windings on the
armature of the alternator pre-
vent “hunting.”
The year just concluded was a year of “firsts.” in organiza-
tions, activities, and material improvements, more shifts were made
on the campus than occurred in the map of Europe.
This period saw the main road paved, lights erected at the
highway entrance, and the tower of the Administration Building il-
luminated with flood lights. A new gymnasium is still in the offing.
The TOWER, University an-
nual, returned to the campus
after an eleven year interim.
Student publications rated
highest honors in two national
surveys. Evening classes were in-
troduced on the campus, and
young ladies carrying books were
co-eds, not hall maids. Weekly
broadcasts were piped from the
Abbey Theatre.
New organizations brought out
the Emirc Club for students in-
terested in scientific crime detec-
tion. The Women’s Guild was in-
troduced and spread into a State
organization. Neophyte actors
pinned the label Abbey Play-
ers on themselves.

Grover
Webster, chairman of the Civil
Pilot Training Program.
Present primary and secondary
program will continue through
the summer and fall classes.
New arrangement includes
cross country course open to all
pilots who have successfully
completed advanced training. It
includes 60 flying hours in an
approved type 3s ship with 72
hours ground school in connec-
tion.
Upon the completion of the
cross country course, pilots will
be eligible for a commercial re-
fresher program that includes 60
flying hours and 96 ground
school hours. These courses com-
pleted, the pilot is eligible for
an unrestricted commercial li-
cense and an instructor’s rating.
Webster urged secondary grad-
uates to continue in the CAA
program as instructors rather
than enlist in the Army Air
Corps. The Army commissions
all physically qualified instruc-
tors, and second lieutenants in
the army draw more salary than
those in the Air Corps, Webster
said.
Hoosiers Visit Hilltop
Visitors to the campus this
week are the mother and sister
of prep student Bernard Bolka,
Mrs. B. F. Bolka and Miss Char-
lotte Bolka of South Bend, Ind.
They will remain until after prep
exams and would then motor
back to South Bend, Bolka stat-

University Orchestra
Plays For Gala Affair
Saturday at Austin
Decked-out in white ties and '■
swallowtail coat, socialites of
Hilltop will jam and jive at the
last prominent dance of the pres-
ent school year. This year’s mag-
nificently publicized Senior Ball
will be held in the Marie Antoi-
nette Room of the Austin Hotel
Saturday with music by the Blue
and Gold Rhythms of Jack Orr
and vocalizations by Doug Mar-
tin.
Decorations for the dance are
arranged by Frank Babinec, Bil-
ly Reynolds, and Armando Gu-
tierrez. The date committee is
a one-man-affair headed by
Charles Habiger, president of the
Senior class. “C. Frank Habiger
for a date—if you know one for
him,” was quoted by a Cabineer.
Dancing will be from 8:30
o’clock to 1 o’clock in the morn-
ing, and the program numbers
will be from 9 until 12:30 o’clock.
Chaperones for the evening are
to be Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
.Mr, an(j Mrs. Ed Fleming,
and Mr. and ivx±-o.., Skeeler.
Outstanding over past ' cra&^y
dances will be the plain but at-
tractive programs for the couples.
Breaking the former style of
trying to be too exquisite, Mar-
tin Nassour, chairman of the
program committee picked out
the simple design with much
approval from his assisting com-
mittee.
