Johnson Sees Tires Of Reclaimed Rubber
Tires made from 100 per cent reclaimed rubber, whereas 50 per cent old rubber has been the limit, are a definite possibility, according to Carl Johnson, acting custodian and assistant chemistry instructor, who spoke to the Chemistry Club yesterday.
Such tires, though not so tough as our present tires, would last ten to fifteen thousand miles. After outlining the process of reclaiming the rubber, Johnson pointed out the extreme importance of reclaiming old rubber for tires. He said that three-fourths of the world's rubber production went into tires, most of which formerly went for civilian use. Of the entire world supply only 2 per cent is produced in the western hemisphere. The cutting off of the former main source of supply, Ceylon, makes the reclaiming process doubly important.
The second speaker, drawing from experience in ink factories in Kansas City and Chicago, was Frank Jirik assistant chemistry instructor, who
Women's Intramurals Are Limited to Two Sports
Basketball and table tennis singles will make up the women's intramural program for the first winter term, according to the decision of the Intramural Board. No other activities will be undertaken this term because the war-time physical conditioning classes limit the use of the gymnasium floors for intramurals.
Drawing for positions in both basketball and table tennis tournaments will be held next week. Practice starts Monday and the games will begin in about two weeks.
These decisions were made Friday by the Intramural Board, made up of intramural managers from all houses and organizations in the program, and sponsored by Miss Ruth Hoover.
Jirik said that ink is made from pigments mixed with oil to which soap and resins have been added. The oil soaks into the paper leaving the pigment on top.

Lind Writes Article On Roman Military Exemption for Study
Prof. L. R. Lind, of the department of Latin and Greek, has a forthcoming article in the Sewanee Review on the Interpretation of the Roman Tradition.
Professor Lind's article is based on a speech which he gave in Denver last June at a meeting of the American Classical League.
DON'T EXPLOIT---ways will undoubtedly be dotted with signs reading "Last good place to run out of gas in 20 miles," or "Let our well-trained crew of pushers shove you home."

One of the most important lists in any household will be a mileage chart showing the distances to all points in the neighborhood. Theaters will advertise, not that their movie is a three-star show, but that it is a "5-mile feature worth burning a gallon of gasoline to see." Well-Trained Pushers—Push
Much care should be taken in choosing good running-out spots. Streets with wide parkings are desirable, as are quiet streets where one may sleep. Well-traveled highways will undoubtedly be dotted with signs reading "Last good place to run out of gas in 20 miles," or "Let our well-trained crew of pushers shove you home."

tion courses, with college credit.
In addition to courses listed above, courses are also open to college students for regular or non-professional credit in the subjects of ceramics, drawing, handcrafts, and painting. "The college faculty feels that this is a fine program for those interested primarily in art but who wish at the same time to take the broad liberal arts program, allowing students to choose work in college departments," said Dean Lawson.
Drivers not toughened by the commando classes should push the car by the right door handle. You give the effect of doing a lot, but there is practically no strain on you at all. Never push from the rear bumper, reserve this to unknown helpers. If you are a natural leader of men (or women) you can usually get the job of steering the car.
Anyway—you'd better start planning . . .
Physicists May Be Exempt From Draft
Physicists in the colleges of the nation will be deferred from the draft, if it can be proved that they have special training and skill and are necessary men in their work, it has been disclosed by the national selective service headquarters in Washington.
A national committee has been formed for the purpose of investigating physicists whose deferment has been requested by colleges or other employers, it was revealed. If the committee agrees that the man is necessary, it may appeal to his local board for his deferment.
The action was taken to relieve a critical shortage of physicists said to exist by the War Manpower Commission and selective service.
Similar procedure will be followed in other scientific and specialized fields where serious shortages develop, selective service headquarters said.
