Opening lead: Ace of diamonds.

OPeLllLlS Iehu' ACE OF diamonds.
The principle is illustrated by
o hand played In a Belgian tour
nament q few months ago.
East didn't have much hope Of
winning q spade trick but did
hope to defeat the grand slam
BY rufftng an opening club lead.
The trouble was that West
wouldn't dream Of opening a
club If allowed to- choose his
own opening lead. From East's
point Of view. the expected"
Opening lead was q spade.
South would make the grand
slam against the normal spade.
lead. South would ruff the
spade, ruff a diamond in dunn
my, ruff another spade, ruff a
second diamond in dummy, ruff
q third spade. and ruff q third
diamond in dummy. Then
declarer leads dummy's last
trump for q successful finesSe,
draws the rest of the trumps
with the ace and claims the
rest Of the tricks with good
clubs.
Hand Is Noticed
West, one Of the best play
ers In Belgium, has played
many other hands In the past
ten years but none Of them
has received as much notice
as this one. He had his fingers
on the ace Of diamonds before
the last pass died away on the
air.
East later pointed out that
he didn't know about the ace
of diamonds when he doubled;
hence he could not have been
calling for q diamond lead. East
also pointed out that only the
obvious" club lead could de-
feat the grand slam and that
only q double would call for q
club lead.
Many Belgians speak both
French and Flemish, and this
Is quite an advantage for a
bridge player who has many
words to say to his partner.
The fury Of q woman scorned
got its top billing before we
knew about scorned bridge
partners. .-

Terry Elected To u of ID
Board of Trustees

Anticipated heavy enrolment
increases in 1864 and 1865 have
compelled the university to
move forward the completion
date of Gilbert Hall, the next
scheduled dormitory complex
on the East campus.
In a recent national survey,
DR.. Garland G. Parker, Univer-
sity of Cincinnati registrar,
warned the nation TO "be ready
for a jolt" when the largest
freshman classes in history
enter the nations colleges In
the next TWO years. Since Del
aware's freshman classes have
been running well ahead of av-
erage national enrolment in
creases, Delaware's officers
and trustees consider itimper-
ative that the dormitory con-
struction schedule envisionedI
in the University's long-range
planning surveys be followed
and, where necessary, stepped
up.
The trustees approved plans
to modify the design of Gilbert
Hall, which is similar to Har-|
rington and Russell dormi-
tories, so that its capacity
will be increased from $50
to o5l beds. Other new features
include family-size quarters
for full time residence hall
adviser, a larger number of
single rooms, and elimination of
a long central corridor.
To finance the construction of
the new structure, the trustees
empowered university officials
to apply for a self-nquidating
loan of $3,580,000 from the
Housing and Home Finance Ad-
mtniStration.
In a further effort to meet
rising enrolment pressures,
the trustees approved three OPP
Grating policies for le64-65:
l. Limiting the number of
out-of state students to 280 In
an anticipated entering class of
l,550
2. Restricting the admission
of "limited program" students
chose not fully qualified ac-
ademically) to those who sue
cessfully complete prescribed
summer session courses. Pri-
ority on admissio of Delaware
residents will be given to those
fully qualified and, If enroll
ments exceed facilities and
staff, limited program students
may be asked to wait until F eb-
ruary, 1865 to enter the Uni
versity.
8. Proceeding with plans and
selection of a site for another
new dormitory to be opened In
September, 1866. Studies also
are being made which will pro-
vide for the renovation of sew
eral small dormitories for tenn
porary use in 1865.
The trustees also received
copies of the annual report of
President John A. Perkins,
which covers the lo62-63 aca-
demic year.
