Glamour Fades In Morning Says Former Houseboy
If anyone is wondering what life in a University sorority house Is like, lend an ear to what a former houseboy has to say.
During the first two weeks of school the girls take great pains in their appearances. They wear lipstick to breakfast and they always comb their hair. The novelty of having men around at this early hour soon wears off and from then on, they don't seem to care "I'm going to write
then on, they don't seem to care as much.
This human "truth machine" said that only one thing surprised him.
"The girls don't care what they look like in front of the houseboys, but as soon as another man comes near, they scream and madly run from the room. It just doesn't make sense."
After seeing the glamour girls minus the glamour for four semesters, this houseby has classified them into three types:
First there is the "hello, hello, good morning type." They always bring a sowl from most of the people in the room.
The second common type is the girl who comes in feeling her way along the wall for a door. This is usually the wrong door and she receives a severe jolt when someone coming the other way knocks her down.
Next are the ones who make at least six trips between the dining room and the kitchen for a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. After the first three trips to the kitchen these types finally discover where they are, the houseboy commented.
He complained that the houseboys were expected to know the life histories of all the girls, the latest person or persons dating in the house, and who were the most datable in the house in order to answer the many questions asked by men on the campus.
But it works both ways. They also have to know the same thing about every man on the campus to answer the feminine inquiries.
Tricon Proposed To Control Air
Berkley, Calif., (U,P)A transcontinental network of radar stations, which would control aerial traffic like block signal systems on railroads, was proposed today by Dr. Luis Alvarez, University of California physicist.
Dr. Alvarez is the inventor of ground controlled approach—an electronic system widely used to land airplanes under hazardous conditions. He also had a hand in the development of radar the atomic bomb and the cyclotron.
The physicist claimed the radar stations would make the positions of every airliner known at all times to its pilot, the ground controller and pilots of nearby aircraft.
Dr. Alvarez called his plan "triccon", short for "triple coincidence navigation."
Tricon would divide transcontinental airways into 50-mile blocks which would be continually swept by radar beams from three strategically -located grounds stations. Through high-speed timing devices, the positions of all planes in each block would be charted on a control board and at the same time transmitted to the instrument panel of each plane.
Tricon "tracks" even could be curved around mountain ranges or other obstacles. Dr. Alvarez said, and could be directed so that airliners would fly in circles at safe intervals between each other while waiting to land at busy airports.
The information could be fed directly into the plane's automatic pilot, so that any necessary changes in course could be made from the ground. Dr. Alvarez said in an article in the current issue of California monthly, alumni publication of the University of California.
The system is so accurate, Dr. Alvarez maintained, that it would permit airways to be stacked every 1,000 feet with as many as 10 lanes operating within the width of the airway.
"I'm going to write my memoirs of life in a sorority house when I graduate, in which I promise to tell all," this University man said.
"I feel that this book will benefit mankind because men will know something of what to expect from their prospective wives in the early morning hours," he stated.
He said it wasn't really too disillusionifg. "It's all a matter of getting used to it."
Hollywood—(U.P.)—An Episcopalian priest has warned the movie industry today that any move to lift its self-imposed censorship would force Protestant churches to organize a group similar to the Catholic's Legion of Decency.
Clergyman Warns Movie Industry
In an answer to a speech by film producer Samuel Goldwyn before the theater owners of America convention here, the Rev. James K. Friedrich, president of Cathedral films, declared:
"I do not feel the motion picture industry itself left to itself could be trusted to stay within the limits of the ethical and moral code of Christian America."
