Museum is announced by Dr. C.
Bertrand Schultz, Museum direc

sible by gifts to the University
Foundation by Mueller, president
of the Mueller Electric company
of Cleveland, O.

containing over 700 square feet
of floor space. The Gallery Is

kchelors, Coeds Plan Leap Year Battle
BY CONNIE GORDON
Feature Editor
A year long Sadie Hawkins day
has begun. Leap year is finally
here.
With no holds barred, coeds are
now working out their plan of at
tack. The male population, now
on the defensive, will get to sit
around for a year and witness fe
male strategy. However, they too,
have formulated some plans which
might prove troublesome to the
female contingent.
Some of the University Eli
gible Bachelors have already
made plans for the new year in
addition to resolutions to stay
eligible.
Jim Terry said that he has
thought out his plans pretty well.
He said, "I'm going out for track
this year."
He explained, "I want to stay
Terry . . . because. , ."
Con Woolwlne is also "playing
it safe" this year.
He commented, "I'm practicing
judo."
And just so he wouldn't be half
safe, Woolwine commented, "I'm
going to bed at 0 p.m. every night.
I don't want to be caufcht on the
streets.
These hints will probably
help some other male students.
But in order to be fair, some of
fensive hints to eoeds are also
in order.
In an article by Hal Boyle, a
few tips were given on how to
get the man in your life.
Here is the formula:
"Look for a man with circles
under his eyes. Here Is ob
viously a felloe who needs a
rood long rest, All you have
to do is convince him that If he
marries you he will get it."
"Single men with melancholy
dispositions are first-rate pros
pects. Marriage is a serious pro
position, and nothing is so trying
to a wife as a mate who braggs
about his sense of humor. What

to the instructor evaluated.
Members of the Senate commit'
tee selected the Purdue Rating
'J8'"8 fOT instruction for the pur
pose described by its authors,
H. H. Rememrs and D. N. Elliott.
"No teacher has any choice
as to whether he will be 'rated'
by his students. Such rating
goes on in every classroom ev
erywhere. The only real choice
the teacher has is whether he
wants to know what these rat
ings are.
"Whether the students' judg
ment is correct is largely beside
the point. The real point is that
his attitude toward the teacher
and the course exists and is a
vital factor in the total learning
situation. The students' attitude
is probably next if not equal in
importance to his general learn
ing ability as a factor in his learn
ing, "If the instructor chooses to find
by his students, he will be in a
position to profit thereby. He will
have obtained the possibility of
control of one of the important
elements in the total learning
situation. V
"The Purdue Rating Scale for
Instruction was constructed to
provide instructors witn toe
means to determine accurately
and reliably the attitude of his
students toward him and his
course of instruction
Under the Purdue plan, an in
structor passes out the evalua
tion sheets to his students, with
no comment. The instructor is
evaluated on the blank and the
student makes no mark' on the
paper which could serve to
identify the rater.

"The models make clear the

of human birth from fertilization
and pregnancy to delivery,'
Dr.
Fuenning said. "For public edu
cation they replace ignorance and
superstition with realities hitherto
unseen."
Mueller plans to add to this
collection other life-like ex
hibits about the function of the
human body, about milestones
in medical and dental history
and about great men in these
professions.
Mueller, an alumnus of the Uni
versity, has previously given the
University Foundation funds to
construct the Ralph Mueller Car
illon tower at a cost of about
$100,000, and more recently has
established an endowment fund
for its perpetual care. Mr. Muel

This was followed by a period

When the light were turned

CAPT. KURT CARLSEN remained aboard his floundering
freighter Flying Enterprise despite the fact that all 40 of his crew
and his 10 passengers had left the suposedly doomed ship. Caught
in a heavy gale off the southwestern coast of England, the vessel
was badly damaged by the pounding seas. After ordering the
others to lifeboats, Capt. Carlsen elected to remain on board alone
on the chance that the million-dollar vessel might be saved
Under maritime law an abandoned ship becomes salvage for the
first person to bring her in tow.
Capt. Carlsen's week-long battle with the elements brought
praise and admiration from seasmen throughout the world.
An American destroyer stood by to take off the captain
if the Flying Enterprise started to sink, but at week's end the
seas were going down and a British tug was attempting to put
a line aboard the stricken vesel to tow it and the plucky
skipper to port.

the Philippines.
HARRY J. ANSLINGER, treasury department narcotics
commissioner, announced that more than 500 suspects were ar
rested in the biggest national crackdown on the dope traffic
in history Every major city in the country was involved.
Anslinger said the action was part of a national clean-up aimed
at curbing drug addiction especially in teen-agers.
Agents posed as addicts, peddlers and middlemen to get the
evidence for the arrests. In New York agents were reported to
have spent $10,000, most of which went to buy dope from greedy
peddlers, thus setting the trap for their arrest.
WINSTON CHURCHILL, British prime minister, is expected
