Reporter Baok in the middle of last week, most of the freshmen got their first bitter taste of that old N.U. tradition, down slips. Few escaped, for, according to Assistant Dean L. F. Fowles, ap proximately two thirds of the Jun ior Division stjdents got downs. A survey of some of the fresh men showed that most think the down slip system is a good one, but only, of coure, when some one else gets the down. Opinions ranged from firm resentment to "it served me right." 'As one stu dent said, "I like the system, but then, on the other hand, I don't like it." One disgruntled 'freshman put his argument this way: "It (the down) builds a little fire under your folks. It builds a little fire under you. If you're in a frater nity or sorority, it builds a little fire under the active chapter. Pretty soon you've got a great big fire." Along the same line of thinking was the comment: "My down got me all rattled, and the fraternity got road and campused mt." One freshman, the not so proud possessor of six hours of downs added that the "system is a good deal. It tells a fellow that it's time to get in there and start ingratiating." Other comments, favorable to the down slip system, were: "It tells a fellow what's coming off. "It let me know that it's not duck soup here at the U, and downs let you know what to get to work in." A few expressed the opinion that downs are unnecessary. They said that they knew what subjects they were down in. Apparently the worst is yet to come (heaven help us), for, ac cording t Assistant Dean Fowles, the number of downs given at mid-term will be an increase of approximately 400 over the num ber given in the first scholastic report. Mid-term, accompanied by the usual quota of weepingf wailing, and gnashing of teeth, will be the fun and work that it always has been .And yet there will be a no ticeable air of expectation on campus as students wait for the coming of vacation and for the coming of the inevitable downs. to discuss with high school stu dents the advantages and disad vantages of each particular job, according to Dr. William Hall, head of the school of journalism. Among the speakers will be James Ebel, vice president general manager of KOLN-TV, who will give the radio-TV view point.

Dr. M. L. Baker, assistant Dean of the Ag College, said construc tion of Attaturk University is ex pected to be completed by next fall. Dr. Baker returned here this summer after 2 years in Turkey. He spent most of his time formu lating plans, setting up faculty re quirements and solving building needs of the new university. The charter for the University has been set up, Dr. Baker said, and a 10,000 acre site near Erzerum has been selected. The University will include col leges of engineering, agriculture, letters and science, and the Uni versity will serve the eastern part of Turkey, Dr. Baker said. Dr. T. H. Goodding also returned this summer after spending 2 years in Turkey. He served as specialist in plant ecology at the University of Ankara, and also ;was on the National Seed Advisory Commit tee. Dr. Goodding said more than 1600 student applications were re ceived the first year he was in Ankara, and that in the second year over 2000 students applied for entrance. The University of Ankara, however, only has facili ties to accept 200 new students each year. Dr. Baker had to use an interp reter in all his class lectures. The interpreter would take down all the notes before the class period started. Then, when Dr. Baker j would present the lecture, the in i terpreter would write it on the blackboard in Turkish: Wednesdays Dr. Walter Mientka, assistant professor of mathematics, pr e s e n t s perplexing problems, solved by simple mathematics.
