Baptist Club Hears Habein
Women in school should learn to adjust themselves to their surroundings, Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, told the Beta chapter of Theta Epsilon, Baptist women's sorority, at a Founder's day banquet Tuesday in the Union.
Miss Habeim said, "A woman should be emotionally mature, should develop herself to the fullest so that she may enjoy beauty. She should know conditions in foreign countries and in this nation so that she can do something about them.
Julia P. Leigh, education senior and retiring president, installed the new officers. Miss Leigh's talk was entitled "Mountain Echoes." She developed the theme of Theta Epsilon from the time of Mrs. Frank Strong and Mrs. L. E. Sisson.
Arlene Ulrich, College sophomore, offered prayer. Pascal Davis, College senior; George M. Hassard, medical freshman; Wesley Hall, College freshman; and William T. Fuqua, engineering junior; sang a group of Negro spirituals. Grace Vaniman, College sophomore, gave the toast to the seniors. Mrs. George W. Brazier Jr., special student in education, gave the toast to the undergraduates.

"A woman should develop hobbies so that she may experience a well-balanced life. A woman student should learn to do everything well, whether in the home or in business." Miss Habein said.
Denver—(U,P)—F i v e-year-old Jerry Mickle, left alone while his mother and sister went shopping, spied his father's pipe on a table and decided to experiment.
He lit the pipe and tossed the match in a clothes closet, promptly starting a fire.
Jerry poured water on the blaze and his neighbors called firemen, who confined the fire to the Mickle bedroom.
Jerry's cat, Tommy, didn't retreat quickly enough and was overcome by the smoke. Firemen revived the cat after five minutes of applying artificial respiration.
Jerry has given up smoking

Students No Longer Dig Dandelions; Buildings And Grounds Sprays Them
Back in 1942, even the faculty turned out with the students to dig dandelions. But, the students and faculty so thoroughly eliminated them that the buildings and grounds department is now able to kill the few which appear each year with a spray.
Laurence C. Woodruff, then assn,
was at the head of the project to
eradicate the dandelions from the
slopes of Mt. Oread.
In 1942, Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Union, was in charge

The day was the second of its kind, the first was in 1941 when 3,400 students turned out. In that year, approximately 15 tons of the weeds were eradicated.
A regular carnival was set up by organized houses and other organizations on the Hill. The Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity featured an elaborate booth in which a man was suspended above a tank of cold water, hot water or dandelion vines, according to the temperature of the hour. When a customer hit a trigger with a baseball the man was plunged into the tank.

Promotions, Pay, Conditions Rank High In Venezuela
Caracas is a city of 500,000 population including about 8000 United States citizens. The Americans do most of their entertaining within the homes. "We seldom went out to dance or to any other form of recreation of that type," he said. "Servants make entertaining at home easier. But though such help is obtainable, it is not cheap and not very good."
Two years experience as a petroleum engineer in South America as well as several years in the oilfields of this country, is the background which Ellis L. Anders, assistant professor of petroleum engineering, brings to the University.
Professor Anders came to the University in September 1948 after
ending two years and four months*
in Caracas, Venezuela. He was a petroleum engineer for the Creole Petroleum corporation, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey.
Commenting on South American jobs in engineering, geology, and business, Professor Anders said the opportunities for rapid promotion and good pay are wonderful, and living conditions are comfortable. However, companies are not hiring as many men as they did last year, he said.
"I like to play golf. With such beautiful weather during the dry season, every day is a good golfing day." The golf courses are comparable to those in the United States.
Prices are very high in the country but wages are fixed to meet long costs. Companies are required to a bonus, to meet price increases.
"I definitely consider the years spent in Venezuela an interesting and most profitable experience," said Professor Anders.
Other recreational pastimes of the natives are horseracing, bull fighting and baseball.
above 90 degrees or below 55 degrees. To Professor Anders this is a decided advantage.
"The people are very enthusiastic baseball fans and players. They use English terms for calling strikes, balls, bases and homeruns, but everything else is in Spanish," Professor Anders said.

California Aquarium To Display 'Talking' Fish
Sounds made by the spotfin croakers will become audible to visitors by use of a hydrophone, a device similar to sonar, the Navy's war-time submarine listening equipment.
San Francisco—(U.P.) — "Talking fish may soon be heard in the Steinhart aquarium in San Francisco's Golden Gate park.
If any visitor is interested in hearing the croaker emit its many fish noises he merely presses a button connected to a suspended microphone in the pool. The mike is then cut into a loudspeaker in the corridor and the fish obliges—usually.
Mountain, Mountain,
Who's Got The Mountain?
San Diego, Calif.—(U.P.)—Scientists aboard the University of California's laboratory ship, Velero IV, have failed to locate a mountain report to be rising off the Lower California coast.
For the past several months fishing vessels have reported the submerged peak near the tip of the peninsula. They said it had risen to within 40 fathoms of the surface.
Capt. Allan Hancock of the Velero IV radioed that the ship had searched the area with electronic pathometers for more than two hours and had failed to locate the mountain. Mr. Hancock said, however, that the fishermen may have reported the exact location incorrectly.
