The Alpha Phi formal last
weekend was a huge success with
"Buckeye" Buxton greeting all the
guests and oozing with hospitality.
Incidentally, for those of you who
wondered, he was the date of Pat
Gilligan. We're still not sure
whether King Cole was tripped,
or whether he wanted to start a
game of checkers, nevertheless he
looked foolish sitting in the mid
dle of the floor at the Sig Ep Blue
party Friday night. Saw Gus

Known fuel reserves will supply
the country for at least 45 or 50
years, reported Prof. E. F.
Schramm, chairman of the univer
sity geology department, Tuesday.
He estimated that 140 trillions
of cubic feet of natural gio were
available last Jan. 1. Schramm
noted that gross production from
oil and gas fields in 1942. a peak
year, was 5,453,9000,000,000 cubic
feet.
"For the past 30 years." he said,
"geologists and petroleum en
gineers have been extremely inac
curate and have under-estimated
the fuel supply."
According to Prof. Schramm,
present estimates also may prove
to be inaccurate alter new
methods of exploration, deeper
drilling and conversion of some
coal deposits to gas are completed.

Rambarin Ramdin, of India and
Trinidad, now calls Nebraska
home. The middlewestern life with
no hustle appealed to Ramdin so
he enrolled in the university
school of medicine.
tsorn in riosmapur, Punjab, in
India, Ramdin received his pri
mary education in his native land.
Most of his life has been spent in
Trinidad, off the coast of Vene
zuela.
Medicine appeals to him because
the natives of Trinidad "need
someone to think of them." He
originally intended to go back to
India to practice psychiatry, but
now his intentions concern Trini
dad.
Independence.
After living in a part of the
British colonial empire, Ramdin
has definite ideas on India's inde
pendent status. In his opinion, the
Indians "will be free definitely.
but they can't be free by force."
The natives have the feeling of
"being kept down, but they re
member that "he who profits by
force shall die by force" and they
prefer to gain their freedom bv
peaceful means.
unce we nave revolutions, we
will always have revolutions,"
Kamdin said.
He believes India can be self-
supporting when they are inde
pendent. Ramdin said the caste
system is breaking slowly, which
indicates progress.
"In the British colonial posses
sions," Ramdin said, "the term

limes.
I About eight surveys are usually
; made annually by the university
but this year the number of re-
quests has more than doubled,
Dean Henzlik stated.
Gather Data.
"The surveys not only gather
data on the school system's physi
cal plant and teaching personnel,
but are a systematic, careful ex
amination of the social and eco
nomic life of the community," he
explained. None of the surveys
macie so tar has been rpiectpH
by local school boards.
This survey work, described as
saving Nebraska communities
many thousands of dollars and
contributing to greater efficiency
of public schools, began in 1924
with a survey of the Ravenna
school system.
Recommendations.
The largest recommendation
was a $160,000 building program
advised at Scottsbluff in 1938.
utner major surveys of the 35
completed since the service started
were at York, West Point, Lex
ington, Wayne, Thomas county
nign school and Thedford ele
mentary school. Slated for surveys
this year are the public school
systems of Grand Island, Falls
City, Fairbury, Oakland, St. Paul
and Schuyler.

Research Project
Determines Need
For Machine Skill
N. H. Barnard, associate profes
sor of engineering, and E. J.
Busch, jr., engineering graduate
student, are conducting an indus
trial research project designed to
determine the need for great skill
in judging the efficiency of men
who run machines.
According to Busch, this re
search is being accomplished by
submitting 100 students to 3,600
different tests during a 12 week
period. Each student is asked
to judge speed of an ordinary
metronome at six different rates
of speed, the first of which Is
the only one known to him. Colds,
illness, the amount of sleep the
night preceding a test are factors
considered in each test.
Results of the test show that
some men consistently judge
speeds too high, too low or in
varying cycles.
"The men who determine the
efficiency of workers and who
determine the speed at which they
should operate a machine or com
plete an operation seldom are
trained or pre-tested for the job,"
reported Busch. He explained that
this current research is concerned
with discovering a competent sys
tem of evaluating the efficiency of
the workman. t

The vigorous laughter and manly
attitude of the girls, not to say
much of their male attire, appear
ed to me vulgar. Often I have
said these Nebraskans can outdo
their English cousins in the school
of affectations."
A conversation with one of his
instructors helped to dash his
prejudices, Ramdin confessed, and
a Hindu thought came to mind.
"Do not set out to look for evil.
There is nothing bad. Look in
yourself, the bad is in you."
"So I decided to speak to some
of the boys and girls on the cam
pus. Their vigorous laughter, bw.
om health and rosy hu tells m
that youth must have its day."
