...answer would appear obvious. Yet the H.S.U. hesitates to take the step which last fall it implied it would take should the Gottlieb referendum fail to go through. The advantages of national unity seem to have influenced yesterday's decision to remain within the Red pale. But these organizational "advantages" consist principally of Communist selected literature and speakers--a negligible return for the fifty cents out of every dues dollar, which the H.S.U. annually pays its national affiliate. And the disadvantages of continued A.S.U. connections are enormous. Intangible but still real is the question of lost prestige on the Harvard...
...runs a physiologist's description of a sneeze. But such words pale before a sneeze's peppery reality. Last week Professor Marshall Walker Jennison of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology took high-speed, stop-motion photographs of this complicated phenomenon. His findings: 1) every spasm expels thousands of droplets, 250th of an inch in diameter, heavy with millions of germs; 2) human "muzzle velocity" runs as high as 150 feet a second, nearly two miles a minute...
...Biscuit Eater (Paramount). A biscuit eater is a retriever who instead of fetching back game for his master to eat, eats it himself. This unsporting behavior puts the cur outside the pale. Few sportsmen will credit this sentimental tale in which the "love and patience" of two boys turn a born biscuit eater into a total abstainer and top-notch bird dog. But nearly everybody will enjoy the performances of the biscuit cater (Promise), the colored boy (Cordell Hickman), the white boy (Billy Lee) and the field trials filmed in Albany...
Spring brings a touch of the old "Dial" to the Progressive in the bold and amusing woodcuts by John Holabird with which the April issue is generously illustrated. The cover is briefly perplexing. Three fomidable females in antique garb and with Amazonian mutilations march against a pale vermilion background of disordered classicism. In a Student Union publication, one thinks, what would this mean? Certainly not England, France and the United States going out to defend democracy? Perhaps the arts and sciences fleeing a world which topples under the assaults of imperialist...
Castor oil used to be of little use in paint and varnish making because it was sticky and slow to dry. In recent years chemists have found that they could "dehydrate" castor oil (remove some of the chemical components in the form of water), leaving a pale oil which dries to a firm film, keeps its pale color even after long exposure. Experiments under way in Texas show that castor plants can be successfully grown...
