THE American varsity cheers greatest virtue is its
j fine intelligence indicated by the text Of
some of the famous, standard yells. The best OF
them all, of course, is the one which goes:
Ala veevo ala viVo; ala veevo- Vivo-Vunn.
Boom, get a rat-trap, bigger than cat-trap.
Boom, get a rat-trap, bigger than cat-trap.
Yea, tean-tean-team.
Another excellent specimen is the osky-wow-wow
yell which seems to have been composed by some I'M
sung genius at the University of Illinois. 1t has
tempted many other schools to the sin Of plagiarism
The osky-wow-woW yell goes:

may be-.

There is book in the library giving the text Of
these and many other standard American college

MAKING TT HARDER FOR CRIME

BY BASIL GALLAGHER
Times stan Writer

HELLO, Allen county sheriff
IL speaking" The sheriff, lean
ing back in his chair, listens in
tently for a minute. The receiver
crackles in his ear as an hys-
terically excited phone operator
tells him:
Sheriff. this is the - State
bank in Fl. Wayne. Three men
just held up the bank, killed our
cashier, and escaped with $4,000"
The sheriff swings around IN his
chair, yells to mis- deputies and
hurries out OF the Office. An as
sistant quickly scans a small white
card bearing a number of squares
in which telephone numbers are
listed. He gets busy with the
phone.
In ten minutes Indiana is sur
rounded by a network OF police
calls humming back and forth
over the wires while possemen,
state and city police, federal
agents and all law enforcement
officers within the state boun-
diaries are making their way to
highways and other vantage
points in the hunt to apprehend
the perpetrators of the bank
holdup at Fl. Wayne.
This is an imaginary picture of

rector, expects from his new tele-

word for crime, Director Feeney
first devoted all his efforts to
procure radios for the use of the
state police.
The former Notre Dame foot
ball star went out himself and
raised $4,000 from private citizens
for the proposed radio system.
This was to be matched by like
amount from the state.
Red tape and resultant delay
have halted the plan and today
the radio still is a dream which
Feeney cherishes for the use of
his force.
Meanwhile a growing list of
major crimes, particularly bank
holdups, forced Feeney to act.
In a series of conferences with
bankers, Sheriffs, police chiefs and
other interested parties he finally
evolved the system which went
into effect throughout the state
today.
Each bank in the state was
marked out by Mr.. Feeney on
large map in his office. The dis
lance from the bank to the near

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

ECONOMISTS and statistcians have held the
~ center of the stage in discussions of national
planning, but DR.. Karl T. Compton, president Of
Massachusetts, Institute Of Technology and chair
man of President Roosevelt's scientific advisory
board, sees room for the physicists well in the
spotlight.
physics at Princeton university believes that there is
plenty of work for the physicist to do. Incidentally
he has begun to do his share as chairman Of the
scientific advisory board, which President Roosevelt
set up to advise the government the work of its
various scientific bureaus.
1T is assumed that the detectives OF national
planning are, broadly speaking, the material intel
lectual and spiritual welfare of the people" DR.
Compton says more specifically it aims at gener-
eral and steady employment of desirable types and
with adequate remuneration, at efficient utilization
and conservation of natural resources at the use of
leisure trne IN ways which will be beneficial both
individually and socially and at wise balance be-
tween individual opportunity on the hand and
proper social control the other
Toward these detectives the science of physics
should contribute directly or indirectly in a funda-
mental way"
DR. COMPTON believes that his claim is justified
- by the record Of the past.
historically" he continues, I'VE note that the
science of physics has given birth to nearly all of
those ideas. processes and agencies which have
brought man to understanding of the material
universe and to the use Of its forces for his own
purposes.
physics has produced civil engineering me-
chancal engineering, electrical engineering, large
part OF Chemical engineering modern metallurgy,
electrical communications, refrigeration, heating
ventilatng, automotive and aeronautical engineer
ing and the countless products of those arts which
have revOutonized modern life, not only in its ma
teral aspects but also in its Intellectual economic
and social relationships. Physics has not only orig
mated these things but it continues to develop them.
DHYSICS is finding constantly extended appica.
L ton in medicine Dr. Compton continues.
1T has created new chemistry" he adds, land
many believe that it is the verge of creating
new biology. Of all the sciences, it is now de-
Veloping at relatively the most rapid pace"
In setting up scheme of national Planning, DR..
Compton says that the development OF physics may
be hndered or accelerated, and if accelerated the
acceeration may be made selective that is confined
to certain branches of physics
The development Of physics may purposely be
hindered," he says, "as by reduction Of funds for
research or by anti-educational propaganda. Some
people suspect that this should be done order to
allow some other aspects Of life to catch up to a
state Of equilibrium
