Penland Wins Sophomore Election Penland or Jacksonville, Fla., has been elected president of the Sophomore "Y" for the next school year. He succeeds David merline of Anderson. Other officers elected were Mark Buyck of St. Matthews, vice president; Emma Jenkins of Co lumbia, secretary; and Bill O Schlitter of Columbia, treasurer. Rest of the Sophomore "Y" Cab inet will be selected later. Physical Therapy Opportunities To Be Depicted Saturday The South Carolina Physical therapy Association, Inc., the professional organization of quali fied physical therapists in the '$tate, is sponsoring a "Prospective Student Round Up" starting at the Columbia Hospital on Saturday, April 26 at 10 a.m. The "Round Up" is designed to show prospec tive students opportunities in the fields of occupational and physical therapy and to assist them in out lining their college curriculum and additional education in accredited . occupation and physical therapy schools. The program will start at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 25 at the Columbia Hospital Lecture Hall with a movie dntitled "Accent on Use." This movie depicts various physical therapeutic techniques. The students will then be taken gn a tour of the Columbia Hospital Physical Therapy Department and the Physical and Occupational Therapy Departments of the South Cax lina Crippled Children's Society on Laurel Street. At this -*6m1e they 'ill have the opportun ity of-meet qg registered physical therapists i om. throughout South Carolina an . will actually see demonstrations of equipment and various techniques. All high school and college students who are interested are urged to be present at the "Round Up."

Rene Plev4 French, Caroli By GUS Feature France's Defense Minister and Carolina's recently adopted son, Rene Jean Pleven, is a man of great stature whom one cannot help but admire. As he proved to the Gamecock staffers inter viewing him, he is also an absorb ing conversationalist who could make anyone comfortable in his presence. His manner of speaking is warm, but dignified. In his dress he retains that modest restraint which is typical Pleven dark suit, black tie, socks and shoes. Seated in a large chair in the living room of President Rus sell's house, where he sayed while on the campus, M. Pleven dis cussed a number of subjects with us. Comparing American and French universities, he said that American students seem happier than thoae in France. Also, he pointed out that in the American schools there are more extra curricular activities, which he likes. He said that in French universities there is no campus life, just attending lectures which are usually met by a great many more students than fill the class room of an American university. "You havee a wonderful sort of community life here," he said. "Everyone lives andi works closer together. In France we do not have dormitories at the universi-I ties, and the students come in only for classes. Discussing the French military system, M. Pleven said that the lowest draft age is twenty, the highest being around forty-eight. University students desiring to continue their studies generally ask for a government deferment to do so and follow along with their regular studies, a course in mili tary prep)aration. At the comple tion of their studies they are given practical and theoretical tests by off icers. The results of these examinations plus the school grades serve as the basis for their becoming reserve officers or being permittedl to go on to officers' school.

Pleven said that he likes the ideas of uniforms in the universi ties, but France cannot afford it. Draftes have not been called for Korean duty in France, as there have been enough volunteers to keep the French unit in Korea stocked, most of the Frenchmen in Korea being 'professional sol diers. "Of course," said M. Pleven, "We have the war in Indo-China which takes many men. That is why we cannot send more troops to Korea." On the subject of the American presidential elections he said that he believes the French people were just as interested in our elections as we were. Having helped to liberate the country; Eisenhower is well-known and well-liked in France; but the French also came to respect Stevenson for his speeches. "At any rate," said M. Pleven, "We felt that American had two good men to choose from."

Ile said that there is much more difference between the accents of people in northern and southern France. When our conversation turned to Americans in Paris, M. Pleven said that one should not confine a visit to France to Paris alone, but should travel around the provinces and meet the real people of his native country. "American students in Paris are very )o)ular, though," he said. M. P'leven said that he hoped to return to Columbia as plain citizen Rene Pleven, visiting his friends at the American university -which had made him her adopted son.

It's called a thermistor, and it's the first practical thermally sensi tive resistor. It's so sensitive it will measure temperature variations within one-millionth of a degree. As a circuit element and control device, this small, stable and rugged unit has a place in a variety of electrical circuits. Aitessh the thermistor is the smallest and, in appearance, one of the simp lest devices made by Western Elec tric-manufactuing unit of the Bell Telephone System-it was more than 100 years in the making. Sack in the 19th Century-some time before Western Electric was founded in 1869--Michael Faraday studied a curious thermally senaltive resistor material similar to that used in 20th Century thermistors. As Faraday and others after him discovered, the trouble with making effective use of this material was thatdifferent units made by what seemed to be the same proces, showed largevariations in their behavior. The problem of how to control the -amount of im purities pfesent in the material was finally solved a few years ago by our research team mates at Bell Tel. phone Laboratories. At Western Electric'.

After many trials they got a pilot line in operation - thena a full scale production lune thmough which comprenedr powders of thermistor material could be sin tered into a strong, compact and homogenous mas. Today reliable thermistors are being made in many shapes and sizes-smnall beads, rods, discs, washers - to meet vary ing circuit and design problems. To make this possible, Western Electric engineers had to find new ways to apply a slurry of oxides on wire; new ways to extrude and mold oxide mixture. At evuy t.s, the thermistor has pre sented fresh challenges to our engi neers. Engineering is like that at Western Electric-where technical men of varied skills pool their knowl edge in a constant search for new and better ways to do things, IWESTe annius co ~I coeE IaATiUWe s a1W6 BWADWAY, NEW I I'd Uke ciass.
