MODERN COLLEGE
 STUDENT FAMED
Athletics Take Steam Out of Average COllegian
 Says Conn. Dean

The modern college boy "lets of steam" away from the campus and is easier to deal with than the collegian of 20 years ago, according to Sumner A. Dole, dean of men at the University of Connecticut.
 Speaking at meeting of the Will limantic Rotary club yesterday, MT Dole declared that "very few stu dents will try to put anything over on you" nowadays.
 MT. Dole said the automobile with its increased speed and ac- possibility to most pocketbooks, en- ables the college boy to "let of steam" away from the campus.
 Another factor that has tanned the collegian, according to Dean Dole, is his participation in athlet- ics. Although students are not SC ready to "die for dear old Siwash' as they once were, there is a chance for everybody to play some kind oi game and thus use up their excess energy, the dean said.
 But, according to the dean, stu- dents are not more mature in their outlook on life. They think they are, but they're not" Dean Dole said, explaining that in a tight spot students are no more mature than they ever were.

LOCAL CHAPTERS
 POLICY RESTATED
Defend America By Aiding Allies Committee Stress
 es Need of Assistance

c. P. Cook, Chairman of the Wa terbury Breanch of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, announces that the Policy and Program of the Waterbury Chapter of the Committee to De- fend America by Aiding the Allies was restated at a meeting of the Executive Committee at its office, 190 Grand Street, last night. It reads as follows:
 Purpose: The purpose of the Wa terbury Chapter calls for the crea- ton of an immediate and widespread understanding that the practical way to Defend America, is to send all possible material supplies to Brit ain.
 'The paramount policy of the United States must be to make sure that Command of the Seas shall never pass to Americas potential en- emies. If we, and our only friends that are still free, viz; Britain and the British Commonwealths, lose command of the seas, there will be a disastrous future for our country and for democracy.
 Tn the present emergency, the only way to do this is to make sure that Britain stands, and that the British fleet controls the Atlantic. The United States, therefore, must see to it that the necessary ships, fighting planes, guns and other ma- terials, are sent speedily and con- Stantly to Britain.
 Failure to do this might force America to become a regimented armed camp, facing alone. hostile world against overwhelming odds. The British fleet is our first line of defense.
 Tt is the duty of the Waterbury Chapter to educate and lead the To- cal public in encouraging the Pres- ident and Congress to carry out the above policy.
 The officers of the local Commit tee are: Honorary Chairman, Hon. F. M. Huntington Wilson; Chairman o. P. Cook Vice Chairman, Chase Kimball; Executive Vice Chairman. Miss Elizabeth Curtis Secretary Wall ter Angle; Treasurer, Harry H. Heminway.
 These and the following four members constitute the Executive Committee: L. D. Warner, Herbert s. Smith, William A. Carpenetr, and Elizabeth Wade White.

Somewhat
Expressive
By Harold HOlifield

TITS MY OPINION that Seattle
is overburdened with stop signs of
the arterial variety. With all these
signs, Seattle's safety record is
none too good. They have ceased
to mean much to the motorist. To
bring their cars to a complete
stop is too much trouble for some
drivers so they merely slow down
and if they see no prowler car,
scoot across the intersection. Those
who want to obey the law some
times get into difficulty because
of an inconsistent system of dis
playing these signs in too many
places. They put some of them on
striped poles at the corner, sus-
pend some from trolley wires, and
others are adjoining lamp posts,
while still others are rubber strips
sticking up out of the pavement.
A few well planned arterials with
consistent workings would serve
the purpose with less general con-
jestion.
