Ray earned the crack at Turkey
as the result of his round no de-
cision" affair with the Central ave-
nue. fighter down San Diego way
couple of weeks back. Referee Lee
Ramage halted the affair after Ray
claimed he was struck low by Tur-
key in the sixth frame, and when
Elmer failed to recuperate after a
lO-minute rest, Ramage called it
no contest" When the bout was
stopped, every scribe in Lane Park
had ray ahead on points.
The battle was fought beneath
the erie lights of Lane field in
compliance with the western COM
mand dimout regulations and both
fighters and fans complained of
the visibility. That was why they
adopted white gloves for the re-
match and it proved Rays bitter
downfall.
Up until the surprisingly fast

Rumblings of discomfort among
University of Maryland seniors
forced to take war production
course in order to get their diplomas
have broken into open revolt, with
many of the students charging they
are unable to keep up with their
regular academic classes and spend
eight hours a week in shop work.
The charges were contained in
letter to The Star signed by "a of
the 400 students taking the course.
The course, which includes classes
in aircraft welding, sheetmetal and
machine shop work, was instituted
by President H. G. Byrd at the be-
ginning Of the current semester. It
is the first of its kinds to be made
compulsory for graduation in an
American liberal arts college. Only
seniors are required to take the
course at present.
To date, approximately so seniors
have been reported failing in the
course because of excessive alb
sences, and may not be able to
graduate.
The letter pointed out that the
hours when the war production
training is given conflict with other
courses required not only for grad
uation but for "our specialized cur
ricula." This condition, it was said,
"postpones our usefulness to the sue
cessful prosecution of the war"
While asserting that they would
be willing and proud" to participate
IN a program that would aid the war
effort, the students who signed their
names to the letter claimed that the
war production course is pure boom
doggling."
Thus far, the students said, they
have produced nothing but tennis
ball containers and paper weights.
The letter added that the foremen
employed to teach the course would
be much more valuable in war
plants.
I'VE have spent at least four years
in preparation for specialized fields
which will enable us to become vital
IN Americas war effort as chemists.

their letter. 1T seems illogical to
cancel all this valuable technical
knowledge for semi-skilled pseudo

day, Of whom six were boys and five
girls, 10 declared they disliked or
even "hated" the course. Only one

"a girl majoring in sociology, who
explained she didn't mind it,
All six boys interviewed said they
believed the course was a waste Of
time" and that they would receive
much greater value from courses
related to their regular academic
work.
They added that 80 per cent of
the boys taking the course are in
the Army and Navy Reserve and are
slated to enter the armed services
this summer, where their war pro-
duction' training will do them no
good.
I'VE could be taking advanced
military training instead, which
would help us Tremendously when we
enter the Army or Navy" one
student said.
One of the five girls interviewed
described the course as rather
stupid" in view of the fact that most
OF the girls in the course are en-
rolled in colleges which have no re-
lation to industrial training.
"A compulsory Red Cross course
would be much more sensible for
girls" she asserted.
All 10 students expressing their
dislike of the course were confident
that their feelings were shared by
"99 per cent" of the seniors.
Ralph Gallington, in charge of the
course, maintained, however, that
"the trouble started about two weeks
ago due to rumor that the course
was not compulsory"
Before that time, he explained,

Mr.. Brookes said the committee

passenger train would impede
freight movements.

clared, Mr.. Brookes said, that the
three persons now employed to
operate the passenger train are
shifted to other jobs between runs
and could not easily be spared for
