Sprint to class provides babys airings at Baylor It took some arranging but the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Potts have worked oul a daily living schedule to . take into considera tion their yea r-and-a-half-old daughter and their classes at Bay lor university, Waco, Tex. They arranged their class sched ules so one could be with the baby at all times, but it happened that each took alternate hours so the baby-to-class and class-to-baby rush now comes every hour from 8 a. m. to 2:40 p. m. And as bad luck would have it, they found there was no house available near the campus to per mit them time for the baby-to-ciass sprints. So they worked it out like this: Mr. Potts goes to his eight o'clock class, leaving Mrs. Potts with the baby. At 8:55 he hurries toward home. On the way he meets his wife, carrying the child in her arms. She hands him the baby which failed to light up the front of the stage satisfactorily. With the very latest clipsoidal spot lights, eye strain will be avoided, university theater heads said. The X-ray borders will be ex tended from the bridge. They are used to make greati-r color varia tions. "With this new equipment, it will be possible to present much more effective show and improve the technical side of the produc tions," Bogcn said. "As in the past it will be the policy to continue improvement of the theater by using all money saved from pro ductions to purchase better and more modern equipment."
