Campus notes
A short in an electric blanket started a small fire in the Kappa Sigma fraternity sleeping dormitory early Tuesday morning.
The fire started in the dorm when the short caused a mattress and two blankets to catch fire. Bill Koughlin, Wellsville senior, discovered the fire and extinguished it before it had a chance to spread.
The Business School announced Tuesday it is establishing a program designed to recognize superior academic achievements among business and pre-business students.

Beyond the freshman level, students must maintain at least a 2.00 grade average in college credit work to be eligible.
Charles Hays, Albert senior, who was sleeping in the bed when it caught fire, received minor burns on his legs. He was not taken to a hospital. Hays said he awoke about the time Koughlin discovered the fire.

Socialism is impractical, forum speaker says
Socialism is impractical because in the long run it costs more money than capitalism, said Ludwig von Nises, professor of economics at New York University
Graduate School of Business Administration.
Speaking to the KU Freedom Forum in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union Tuesday night, he
said one of the greatest achievements of capitalism is that the common man has been able to save and invest through savings banks and insurance.
Socialism is not practical because it is too expensive and does not offer the worker the incentive to better his position, he said.
TRW is success by association
In the fast moving Computer Sciences, from Los Angeles to Houston to Washington, young people are making things happen at TRW.
If you look around at any TRW location, you'll see far more young faces than old. This is particularly true in the computer sciences. Why? Because we depend on new ideas and fresh viewpoints to apply fast changing computer techniques to a fast changing industry. That's why we need people like you. What kind of a place is TRW? Ask around. Talk to your professors and faculty advisors, or to your friends who are already working with TRW. Most of our professional employees applied to TRW on the recommendation of friends. At TRW Systems Computation and Data Reduction Center—incidentally, one of the world's most advanced computer centers—we provide scientific and business programming support for many technical disciplines.
If you'll be receiving your degree (Ph.D., MS or BS) in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry this year, consider joining a group of computer professionals who are developing computer applications in the following disciplines:
Mission Analysis / Trajectory Analysis/Guidance Analysis/Re-entry Analysis / Control Systems Analysis / Information Systems Analysis / Civil Systems Analysis / Signal Analysis / Computer Systems Analysis /
