Sheriff's Pistol Pops At Peeping Tom
San Jose, Cal. (UP)—It reasonably may be assumed that one Peeping Tom has learned a lesson.
He picked the wrong window when he peered into the home of Deputy Sheriff Robert Dust just as the officer had finished cleaning his pistol.
Duff took three quick shots at the snooper, who was last seen heading elsewhere—and fast.

W.E.C. Goes To Bat For Women In Legislating Needed Reforms
COEDS' CORNER
The Women's Executive committee, composed of the 10 women members of the All-Student council, has two main purposes.
It serves as a legislative body which is an advisory committee to the dean of women in governing women students.
It serves as a service and social organization to carry on various programs and social activities. The committee is especially interested in un-organized, independent women.
Shirley Wellborn, College junior, is president. Her other activities include being treasurer of the Jay Jane's and the Independent Students' association, a member of the Interdorm council and the All-Student council. She was chairman of the organizations committee of the World Student service fund drive.
Other W.E.C. officers are Joan Anderson, vice-president; Lorraine Carpenter, secretary; Janet Rummer, treasurer; and Anne Scott, publicity chairman. Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, is the adviser.
Other members are Emily Stacey, Marjorie Burtser, Mary Jane Zollinger, Elaine Thalman, and Eloise Hodgson.
Recent changes in house rules for women, made effective by the W.E.C., were the extension of serenade hours to 1:30 a.m. and phone hours by one-half hour Sunday night.
Petitions to allow men in the houses during weekday afternoons were considered.
"The reason they were rejected," Miss Wellborn said, "was because the plan would require housemothers to be in the houses from noon on. As long as the housemother shortage is so acute, it will be necessary to continue the rules as they are."
At the beginning of the spring semester the committee will sponsor a series of four lectures for women students on etiquette, speech, dress, and grooming. The speakers will be chosen from the University faculty. Skits and round-table discussions will be held.
In the spring a vocations conference for women is being planned. Women who are outstanding in their

Richardson Makes Plywood Sandwich
Sandwiches—of plywood and plastic cement—were the fare at a meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Monday night in Lindley hall. Glen Richardson, instructor in the electrical engineering department, demonstrated latest methods of assembling plywood with high frequency electricity.
Mr. Richardson demonstrated an electronic heating machine and bonded an almost unbreakable wood and glue sandwich in 45 seconds.
Two processes of heating are used at present. Their applications range from the hardening of gear teeth and the sewing of plastic raincoats without thread to the drying and curing of penicillin—a development highly important in war medicine.
