Of course, if you're looking for
mystery down here, you can always
become involved trying to decide
which is which direction. The
Canal, instead of running East and
West as it seems it should, actually
runs almost North and South. A
hook in the Panamanian Isthmus
causes all the trouble. You keep
telling yourself that you're looking
South when you face the Pacific
from the Atlantic side, but it never
seems quite right. Veterans down
here tell me they have the same
trouble.

Columbus University
Opens Courses 10
Train 1900 Wardens
Will Give Instructions
On Laws Governing
BIuckouts Here

Dean James j. Hayden has an
nounced that the Columbus Uni
versity School of Law, in co-opera-
ton with the Dupont Circle Area,
Post No. 81 of the Air-Raid Warden
Service, has inaugurated the train
ing of more than 1000 AFRAID war
dens in that area in the law and
regulations governing blackouts.
The first lecture in the series was
given last Thursday evening in
the law library by Prof. Robert E.
Lynch Of the law school faculty, for
merly assistant corporation counsel
and still engaged in active prac-
tice.
The first lecture was experimental
in character and was given prin-
Cipally for the benefit of leaders in
the work Of civilian defense, includ-
ing Dean James M. Lands, director
of the Office of Civil Defense: j.
Russell Young, co-ordinator; Col
Lemuel Bolles. executive director of
the Metropolitan Area; William H.
Mlleham, chief AFRAID warden, and
his staff; DR.. Paul Douglas, direc-
tor of training for the Metropolitan
Area, and his staff; the 66 deputy
AFRAID Wardens in the Dupont Cir
Gle Area, and other distinguished
guests.
1t is planned to explain the black
out law and the regula ations appli-
cable thereto in single lecture to
groups of 100 Wardens.
This work forms a part of the
contribution of the law school to
the war effort. Ever since Pearl
Harbor the Air-Raid Warden Service
has been furnished by the law school
with large Office for it's exclu-
slVe use. Thousands of persons
have been trained in first-aid pro-
cedure and in bomb and gas work
in the classrooms of the school.
These activities will continue while
the Wardens are receiving training
In blackout law and regulations.
1t is expected that eventually all
members of the Air-Raid Warden
Service and members of auxiliary
services totaling more than 10000
for the Metropolitan Area will re-
celve training in blackout law by
instruction given in various con-
Venient places throughout the area.

6. U. Will PenuIize Students
Who Miss Athletic Classes

The compulsory character of the
physical training program for all
full-time lay students at Catholic
University was emphasized the past
week by the issuance of notice to
the student body that attend
ance at athletic classes will result
in severe penalties.
With the approval of Right Rev.
Msgr. P. j. Mccormick, acting rec
tor of the university, students who
fail to attend the physical educa-
ton classes were notified that they
will not be eligible for their aca-
demic degrees, nor will they be
recommended for appointment to
any branch of the Reserve Corps or
for military deferment to continue
their school work.
The physical instruction program
was inaugurated at Catholic Uni
versity early in October and made
compulsory for all laymen who were
taking full-time courses, unless eX-
cused by the medical director. In
general the classes have been we'll
attended, but some students have
not had perfect attendance records.
DR.. Martin r. P. Mcclure, dean
of the graduate school of arts and
sciences and chairman of the uni
versity's Council of National De-
fense, under whose jurisdiction the
physical program functions, said
yesterday that the serious purpose
to which the program is directed
would not justify any leriency being
extended to students for inexcusa-
BILE absences.
