 with California

SEATTLE. Maren 29 A new style oar ia to be used by the University of Washington crews when they meet California here on April 6
 The new oars. with spoon shaped blade, are known as the elliptic tip and pronounced sue eessful by Coach Ulbrickson, as a result of several trials. The oars were designed by George pocoek, builder of all of the Washing tons crew equipment
 The spoon shaped blade theo- retically enters and leaves the water more quickly and more smoothly and more blade space gives greater power.

Thrive on Conflict

When men reach perfection in
any line, they have merely cut
themselves out of a job. The fact
that they do not and can not is the
driving forcee of civilization. The
imperfections which make improve
ment desirable and struggle neces-
sary count for more than we like
to think.
Human nature demands the slim
ulating effect of conflict, thrives on
issues, problems and the clash of
opinions. This is wildly illustrated
by the fact that whenever a COM
munity Jacks something big to talk
about, it will invariably work itself
into passion over something lit
tie. Contentment is a condition for
which we all sigh. but which we
can not tolerate. The law of growth
is against it.
The common saying that society
can not stand still is based on the
obvious fact that the human mind
will not.
France turns from the reparations
problem TO a discussion of bathing
suits, and with quite as much zest
1t has gone so far that one bishop
has forbidden people to enter his
church without STOCKINGS. This is
a good companion piece to the Los
Angeles row.

Politicians Losing Out

People might give more attention
to modification programs for light
wines and beer as topics of table
conversation if science did not pre-
sent so many more interesting
things. If the politicians want to
keep their place in the sun, they
would better muzzle the scientists.
AS things now stand they are los
ing their audience.
Talk" movies, television, cathode
rays, forcing thunderbolts to leave
cards when they call, bombarding
atoms and other achievements make
even the prospect Of light wine and
beer seem tame.
If that is not enough, what about
luck, which one scientist calls upon
us to recognize as a basic cause of
change and, perhaps, creation?
Only one molecule out of one
hundred million, we are told, is
electrified, and though a lot depends
on where that molecule is situated,
or what 1t happens to hit, it is APP
parently chosen and whirled about
without law, order or system.
We can not do anything about
such a promiscuous, haphazard
process, but it does offer splendid
opportunities for debate.
