GENERALLY SUCCESSFUL
Recent snap-drills, which have taken
place in all the halls except Radnor, have
been: generally successful, said E. Boswell,
ae '21, Campus Fire Captain, in an interview
with a News reporter, Times for formation
have .been so nearly equal in every case
that the’final competition ought to be very
close.
‘The drills in Taylor ‘Hall have not been
so satisfactory, because there has been
manifést a general ignorance of the riles
concerning exits. According to these sti-
“dents should leave in the following order:
Room A and B, front door.
Room C, door near Room D™
Room E. back door.
Room F, cross’ chapel,

Mr. Herbert. ‘Hoover, chairman: of the
American Relief Committee, has sent—~out
an appeal to American collegés in behalf of
thee suffering students and’ professors of,
Europe. Every student in all the colleges’
should give $3 in order to rais¢ $1,000,000
asked: for. by the committee. A-$10 sub-
scription would be enough, to care for one
student for the winter. .
No student can do creative ae un-
der conditions such as those described “by
Mr. Hoover. Students are trying to live
on, ‘two meals a day, one of which consists
of black bread and very thin soup. They
sleep and study. i in unheated rooms, lighted
minous, for soap and a bath are luxuries.
It is practically impossible for a student to
support himself entirely. A suit of clothes
costs more than_a student can earn in six
months’ work at seven hours.a day at cler-
ical work, For a woman. a hat, dress, and
giving a: thousand lessons in tutoring.
Relief funds will be spent to establish
kitchens where students dohe-«work, ‘and
gardens. where students can raise vegetables
for use in the: kitchens, Books and Supplies
will be bought,’ study halls, heated and
lighted, and medical supervision provided.
_ Contributions should“ be given to~ E.

CLUB OF RESEARCH WORK
Some phases of modern research work
were discussed by Dr, Tennent, Profes-
sor of Biology, at the Science Club tea, on
Wednesday afternoon, January 12, in Pem-
; broke East sitting room.
Dr. ‘Tennent spoke of ‘the work of Dr.
Koford at the University, of, California, |
on the protozoan parasites in the digestigt
tract; liver and blood. He then” described
the recent progress, of research in certain
fields.» Micro-dissection, by a new .appa-
ratus, he said, permits the investigation
of. the individual cell whose play of action
has been unknown. Cytoplasmic inclusions
particularly are the subject of modern
work in the endeavor to determine proc-
esses of synthesis in the cell.
~The work done in tissue-culture was also
mentioned by Dr. Tennent, who, in this
copnection, spoke of. the contraction: ot
isolated involuntary muscle cells, such as
the cells of. the heart muscle.

further pointed out that the free associa-
