Following a r scent musical hit at a
local theatre the tune became very
familiar on the campus. From almost
злу
sec: Ion of the campus one could
hear, “Who's afraid of the big bad
wolf, the big tad wolf, the big bad
wolf? Vbo’s iifrsld of the big bad
wolf, trn la la la la? Some one was
overheard last week singing the same
song wi h the words slightly changed.
The new version ran, •‘Who’s afraid
of the Mg bad elephant, the big bad
elepban . the bid bad elephant? Who’s
afraid of the Mg bad Elephant, who
is? whe la? who is?

Chap >1 and what to do with it has
been a problem for the administra¬
tion ju.it as long as it has for stu¬
dents. At the last minute an out-of-
town speaker may appear and if stu¬
dents are not in chapel it would be
hard tc get them there. And the fac¬
ulty la no more interested in having
to get up chapel with nothing to do
or say :han the student la to listen.

Dear

Is to be congratulated
on having solved the problem. We
will have a abort devotional every
chapel period and the roll will be
checked. Then if there is no speaker
or fur. her program students will be
excused. This will be welcomed by
students who, after all, should have
some v.ish In whether they sit through
an uni itereeting program.

Experiment Conducted
Over Period of Years
The biology department Is doing
some research work that has been
given space ln many of the leading
biological journals of the country. In
one experiment started several yea»
ago 6,000 microscopic Mood pictures
of a normal man, rabbit, guinea pig,
and dog have been taken. More pic¬
tures of the blood of cats and rats are
to be taken soon.
The pnrpose of these pictures is to
find a new prime criterion for the de¬
termination of a normal blood tesL
This test will also correlate with other
