Credti to AST Trainees
College credits for AST courses is the subject now under con
sideration by the university committee on instructional policies and
practices, according; to Charles H. Oldfather, denn of the Arts and
Sciences college. The committee hopes to have the credit system
worked out and ready for approval in several weeks.
It is expected that men studying
in the AST Program at Nebraska
will be given credit for their
courses here at the university to
be transferrable to their previous
college. Just what the scale will
be, and some of the details of the
plan, will be announced after it
is fuoiutru uy uit: iwiii-j

The universities of Indiana and j
Illinois have already revealed def
inite policies on the subject of
AST credit hours. At Indiana, thej
men received the equivalent of
l'i years col'ege for 9 months of
college work under the concen
trated AST Program. Nebraska
will be among the first of the na
tion's close to 250 colleges with
AST units to announce a definite
poiiey for giving the Army's soldier-students
college credits.

The well known "Male Call by
H ustlers Trim
STAR Quintet
By 50-43 Count
In a fast, hard-fought game, B
Company's Ki'stlers trimmed the
STARS," 50 to 43, last night in the
Coliseum. The two quintets were
evenly-matched the whole way,
with the sco-e being knotted at
24-all when the whistle blew for
the half. A List quarter spurt by
the Engineers overcame the
STARS' 34-31 advantage and
netted then; a seven point margin
at the end of the game, and inci
dentally snapped the STARS' five
game winning streak.
High man for the evening was
the losers' sparkplug Kenny El
son, who dropped in 19 points, 15
of them in a speedy first half.
Dave Fuller, with 18 counters, and
Brown with 13, paced the winners'
offense. Reliable Bob S cheer
played his usual good floor game,
and dropped in 8 markers for Co.
B, while for the Ag college boys,
Brown scored 12 points.
The game continued a rivalry
Started several weeks ago, when
B Company took the STARS into
camp by a 36 to 23 count. Both
teams showed much improvement
over their previous performance.
The game was rough - 19 personal
fouls being called on the losers,
and 13 on Lit. Hesler's five. Elson
dropped in five for five at the free
throw line, while his team came
through on 9 out of 17 attempts.
Tomorrow night the STARS are
scheduled to meet Co. C in the
Coliseum, i nd Saturday, out at
ag, they will tackle the Air Base's!

Physics Made EasyPlan
By Field House Engineer
By Alfred M. Laurent
In the past few weeks, I have
been accosted by engineering stu
dents who wished me to give them
a hand with their physics prob
lems. Humanitarian that I am, I
rolled up my sleeves and delved
into the matter with enthusiasm.
I am able to do this only because
of a very remarkable system that
has taken two terms in B-l for
me to formulate. The system is
definitely very easy and I have
decided to make physics easier for
a broader scope of people through
the means of the wide circulation
of the Nebraska n.
There are but three things nec
essary to bring this system to
your very doorstep. First, am!
very important, is the acquisition
of a slide rule, (if you don't know
how to work one, don't worry, be
cause I will explain that, too, later
in this article). Second, is to amass
all the constants you can find in
the physics book. 14.7 pounds per
square inch, 13.6 grams c.c, 32
ft. per sec. sq., and Avogadro's
number, (the latter I have no idea
what ft is for, but it sounds very
scientific, and thrown in to a very
difficult problem it will-make the
teacher think that you are indus
trious and she'll pass you just on
the effort put forth). Keep your
wits about you at all times, and
never let the magnitude of any
problem baffle you.
How to Solve a Problem.
Let us take for instaice this
problem: If Sir Malcolm Camp
bell had 27 cylinders in his racer
when he broke the speed record in
1937, and he used 60 gallons of
gasoline for the fun, how long was
the racer it he was wearing
green tie with red polka dots at.
the time? r.ow, in this problem
you multiply 27 times 60 using th'.
slide rule, ( it is advisable to use
the Phenisetter system. Multiply
out on paper and then set the
slide rule).
The result of your first opera
tion is 1,620. Next extract the
square root of 1937, which gives
you 45 plus or minus, then divide
45 into 1,620, which yields 36.
As Campbell was wearing a red
and green tie it definitely must
have been a Christmas gift, so
our next step is to multiply our
last answer, 36, by 25, which gives
us 9C0, and that is our answer.
But, unfortunately, not the one in
the answer book. I forgot to men
tion that it is always advisable,
and necessary to this system, to
have an answer book handy at all
times.) You will find that by add
ing the phone number of the Dorm,
which is 2-7371 (for the benefit
of verdant Freshmen and grinds),
that you will arrive at 28271.
which coincides with the answer
book. Our problem is solved and
we have made another A for the
records and all persons concerned.
Flunking? How Ridiculous!
As you see. the system is sim
plicity in itself, and having thus
explained it I will be very amazed
and disappointed to hear of anyone
within reach of this paper failing
physics.
P. S.: Don't forget that in prob
lems dealing with the malocation
of the crucibles it is always nec
essary to invert the reciprocal of
the ratistatsis.
