I-Campus Pow-Wo Clariosophic Literary Societies are controversial presidential chairs.

The chairs were mistakenly iwitched during mid-semester when )oth were taken out for repairs. After much dissension both socie :ies agreed to meet halfway for the )urpose of exchanging the highly lebated chairs. On Tuesday evening both socie :ies took time out from their regu ar meetings to meet halfway on ,he horseshoe for the big swap. The )rderly process went without nci lent except for the usual but some .vhat mild exchange of aspersions.

Time Out ing Chairs tingham, Clariosophic, shook hands and Mr. Cottingham remarked that the Euphradian chair "had been greatly enhanced by having graced the hallowed halls of the Clario sophic." The history of these two chairs can readily explain the concern in volved in their absence. From the genisis of the Clariosophic in 1806 succeeding presidents have occu pied theirs, making it a significant and respected part of the society. Legend maintains that the Eu phradian chair was used by Thomas Jefferson in signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It was passed on to the so ciety by United States Senator J. 11. P r eston who was also a member of the Euphardian society. Since then it too has become the recog nized symbol of authority in the Euphradian halls. rs Third Semester Full Mobilization Of 102 colleges polled, 13 have given no consideration to accele ration, 48 have considered it and reached no decision, 36 have do cided in favor of it, and five have decided against it. Most of the schools planning to sp)eed up their programs will have extended summer session, which will include 12 semester hours. Other colleges will divide their school year into three parts or will add a fourth qjuarter. Trhe survey, which was tabulated by Coe College of Cedar Rapids, Iowva, also shows that most col leges wvhich do not now offer Air ROTC will consider its inclusion for next fall.

Campbell, as sociate professor of Air Science and Tactics, spoke at Clarlosophic Literary Society's Tuesday night meeting on "Strategic air war fare." The Euphradian Society joined with Clariosophic in the latter's hall to hear the air force officer who has practiced what he is now teaching. Euphradian had previ ously accepted an invitation from Clariosophic to hear the timely speech. "The main mission of air strat egy is to take out the enemy's vital installations." Capt. Campball told Organiz Student 1 Charity Dance Is Cancelled The charity dance sponsored by the Inter-fraternity and Pan Hellenic Councils, which was to have been held next Wednesday night, has been cancelled, Dick Polen, chairman, has announced. Polen said that the dance has been cancelled because it con flicts with a university regula tion prohibiting such affairs on week-nights.

Fifty-three organizations were represented at the meeting. Those present had previously polled their respective organizations in an ef fort to obtain the consensus of as many students as possible. The money, which is to be raised through student activities, such as stunt night and dances, rather than personal solicitation, will be sent to WSSF with the stipulation that half the money be sent to a spe cific project selected by a commit tee of university students and that the other half be used where the national WSSF office feels that it is most needed. Pan-Hellenic Council has already offered the proceeds raised at so rority stunt night to the WSSF drive. Ann Ready, Mike Callahan, Stewart Mosley, Bill Novit, and Elmer Davis have been appointed by Student Body President Lamar Collie to select the project to which one-half of the money raised will be sent, and also, to select other projects to raise the money. WSSF is an agency set up whereby American students aid those-students in foreign countries who are in need. The National Student Associa tion, the Newman Club (Catholic students), The Hillel Foundation (Jewish students), and the World Student Christian Federation (ma jor denomination student groups and YM-YWCA) are the sponsors 'of WSSF. University students have sup ported this drive for more than five years.

To Conduct -st Year Typing The secretarial science depart ment of the school of business ad. ministration is conducting an ex periment in comparing beginning instruction on manual and electric typewriters. The experiment is the result of a cooperative arrange ment between the university and the International Business Ma chines Company. A similar experi ment has recently been completed by Columbia university under the direction of Dr. John 1L. Rowe, and another is currently being con ducted. In a class instructed by Prof. Merle Medhurst, the students' speeds on electric typewriters range from 19 to 59 words per minute after one month of train ing. The material used is familiar to the students but is of average difficulty. The experiment in initial in struction on electric typewriting is being conducted by Prof. Med hurst and Prof. Elizabeth O'Dell. The electric typewriters are also being used for shorthand transcrip tion and advanced typewriting in strution.
