ing. Guest speaker of the evening
was Dr. F. A. Pierson, president
of the state dental association,
whose topic was "dentristry in
World War II."
That all students owe it to their

gram could be put into practice
on the campus, even if the war
committee were not waiting for
government action, it would need
to be passed first by that com
mittee, then by the administrative
council, by the faculty senate, and
lastly, by the board of regents.
This order of procedure is the us
ual one for any such proposals af
fecting the university as a whole,
as interpreted by the chancellor,
C. S. Boucher, in a recent inter
view. That the expression of student
opinion for or against the four
year proposal would have great in
fluence on the university' final de
cision was expressed by the chan
cellor, Miss Lee, and Dean Clark.
However, due to governmental un
certainty on the adoption of an
all-around war program, action on
any such far-reaching proposals
will be postponed until recommen
dation from Washington.

Of Typewriters
For Government
Requisition of 25 percent of the
university's typewriters in accord
ance with requests of the. War
Production Board has begun on
the campus. L. F. Seaton, pur
chasing agent, has notified the
deans and directors of the various
colleges and divisions that such
action must be taken.
According to Seaton, there will
be 125 fewer typewriters on the
city and ag campuses if he requisi
tion quota is filled. Consequently
he is asking the deans to see how
many typewriters can be spared.
No typewriters older than the
1935 models will be taken.

Unravels Origin
Oi ABC Alphabet
The history of the orgin of the
alphabet is now shown in the dis
play occupying the showcase in the
hall of the third floor of the li
brary building.
The modern alphabet is derived
directly from the Latin alphabet
which in turn was taken from
the Greek alphabet introduced into
Greece by the Phoenicians. It is
presumed that the Phoenicians
copied most of their characters
from the Egyptian hieroglypics.
The showcase also contains il
lustrations of some of the most
prominent early alphatbets includ
ing the Assvro Babylonian Curi-
form writing, Bgyptian hiero
glypics and other alphabets used
by the nations of that period.
