Present indications point to an even lower contribution this year with one third of the student body making no donation whatever. Poverty is not to blame for this apathy, for there is scarcely a single undergraduate who cannot afford at least a dollar. And even students who hold themselves aloof from college obligations should remember that they have a duty as citizens and that the Council's appeal is the only plea they will receive from the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and other allied charities rendering such yeoman service in these troubled times...
...last spring that, of the $6350 the Student Council received during the year, $2170 went to 41 undergraduate scholarships. This was nearly $600 more in money and 18 more in students than in the previous year. This year it is expected that the Council will cut running expenses even lower than last year, so that even more undergraduate stipends may be awarded. The first fall meeting of the 1938-39. Council is scheduled for Wednesday of next week...
...propeller tips in clusters sometimes referred to as "compressible burbles," creating as much of a drag as if the propeller had suddenly been transformed into a twirling dumbbell. Since sound waves travel more slowly in thin air than at normal atmospheric pressure, propellers in the substratosphere have a lower effective top speed than at sea level. Last week scientists attending the Fifth International Congress for Applied Mechanics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggested a way to improve propeller performance in the substratosphere: bigger propellers, designed to take bigger bites of air to make up for slower turning speed...
Process of insemination is equally simple. With a syringe a gynecologist introduces a few drops of semen directly into the cervical canal, lower part of the uterus. Best time for artificial insemination is the fertile period occurring from ten days to two weeks after menstruation begins. More complicated are the legal arrangements. Both husband and wife must sign a joint agreement permitting the wife to bear the child of a third person. The identity of the donor is kept secret, and if he is married his wife must give her written consent as well. Other practical suggestions made...
...unblinking realism of Farrell's pictures of lower-class life made critics overlook their monotony, their repetitions, and the fact that all the characters seemed to divide their time between languid day dreaming and fierce battling with other dreamers. When he finished his Studs Lonigan trilogy three years ago, admirers hoped he might get away from 71st Street and its overly pugnacious inhabitants. But when he began another and longer series of novels laid in the same neighborhood, with characters akin to the Lonigans, but poorer and more quarrelsome, it seemed that James Farrell was obsessed with the dreariness...
