The main purpose of the Sch
olarship Committee has always
been to help those boys who
would otherwise be unable to get
to finish a college education with
out financial assistance. There
has been a noted increase in the
amount of available funds the
last year. With this continued
assistance from former students
and industrial concerns, the
Committee will be able to offer
more and better awards from
year to year.
Students interested in any

Ways to Tackle
Problem Bring
In Personality
By Science Service
CHICAGO, ILL., May 9—How
you solve your personal problems
tells what kind of personality you
have. This new way to size your
self up and sort out your friends
was proposed to the Midwestern
Psychological Association here
this morning by Prof. Robert H.
Seashore, of Northwestern Univer
sity.
It is a better way to pigeon
hole individuals than the old way
of sorting them into go-getters
or solitary thinkers. It would ser
ve psychiatrist better than the
classical medical division into
schizophrenic, manic-depressive,
and paranoid.
Everybody, at one time or an
other, uses all these ways of tackl
ing problems. Which one is your
favorite ?
Direct attack. The person who
goes straight at the trouble, work
ing all the harder, or improving
his technique when things are too
difficult.
Going around. This man dodges
obstacles and tries a new approach
when one method doesn’t seem to
work.
Escape. He ignores problems or
stalls for time until something
happens to relieve him of the prob
lem.
Diversion. He throws up a smoke
screen in the form of a temper
tantrum to distract attention from
the main issue.
“Sour grapes”. This man pre
tends to himself and others that
the question wasn’t very import
ant anyway—that he never really
wanted to do it.
“Basking”. He hangs around
with successful people so that he
will get the credit for their bright
ideas.
“Passing the buck.” He blames
failures on other people or cir
cumstances.
Spotlight Seeking. When he
can’t succeed, he tries to get at
tention, even if it is unfavorable
because it is better than being
ignored.
Giving up. He acts childish or
plays sick in order that people will
not expect him to solve the prob
lem
Forgetting.
Daydreaming. He ignores real
problems while he dreams of
imaginary successes.
Model Airplanes '
To Fly Today On
Baseball Field
The Industrial Education De
partment and the Bryan American
Legion Post are sponsoring a
model airplane contest starting at
11a.m. today on the baseball field.
The first event will be hand-
launched and rubberd-powered gli
ders. This event open to juniors up
to the age of 16, will last until 2
p.m.
The second event from 2 to 5 p.
m. will be the controlled model
event. It will consist of both speed
and stunt contests and is open to
juniors and seniors alike.
Starting at 5 p.m. the free-
flight gas models will perform,
and there will be an endurance
contest of rubber-powered models.
This event will be held on the field
across the tracks from the base
ball field.
Merchandise prizes will be a-
warded to the winners of the first,
second and third places in each
contest. The public is invited to
attend.

Television
In Theaters
Promised
PHILADELPHIA, May 9—Tele
vision on the theater screen is a
promise for the near future. Moving
pictures 10 by 7.5 feet were shown
here at Franklin Institute in a
recent demonstration by Radio
Corporation of America.
There is much to be done before
the system can be put into gen
eral use, but the equipment now
developed points the way. These
large-size pictures were put on the
viewing screen by a projection
system that depends upon a spheri
cal mirror. They were enlarge
ments of what would appear
normally on the face of the tele
vision viewing tube.
The spherical mirror reflective
projection system is somewhat
similar to the arrangement in the
Schmidt type astronomical tele
scope. With a more powerful pro
jector than the one demonstrated
here, pictures 20 by 15 feet have
been produced, RCA scientists
state. They were of brightness
and detail suitable for theater
use.
★
The large-screen system em
ploys the same all-electronic sim
ultaneous method of color televis
ion developed by RCA. This, how
ever, is still in the laboratory stage
although sufficiently far advanc
ed to prove it to be practical.
Several years will probably be
required for its development to
equal the status of present black-
and-white television, according to
Dr. V. K. Zworykin of RCA.
In this color process, three sep
arate colors are transmitted at
the same instant over adjoining
television channels of the same
band-width used in standard tele
vision. Then, at the all-electronic
receiver which has a new type of
receiver-projector, the three colors
are applied to kenescopes, or pic
ture tubes, one with a red phos
phor face, one blue and the other
green. The three pictures are pro
jected on the screen superimpos
ed on each other to form a single
image blended in the same colors
as the original.
New Submarines To
Harness Atom Power
The submarine of tomorrow, a
true underwater fish, will be a dif
ferent kind of steel fish. It will
be run by atomic power and will
be able to cruise completely sub
merged for weeks at a time.
The old submarines of the last
war are now obsolete victims of
engineering progress.
From the atomic bomb there
will be snatched the power of fis
sion, and from the Germans there
wil be adapted an air-snatching
device, the snorkel, and a radically
streamlined hull for speed.
The Navy has no intention of
waiting for atomic energy before
building new submarines. Al
ready, plans have been made for
underwater craft that will, in part
at least, be less easily destroyed
by present-known anti-submarine
measures. They will be better able
to withstand atomic bomb explos
ions from lessons learned from
the Bikini tests, and they will in
corporate German U-boat develop
ments made too late in the war to
be of much help to the Nazis.
Math Donation To
Initiate Contest
A gift of $1,000 from the estate of
the late Dr. Hillel Halperin has
been received by the mathematics
department, it was announced to
day.
Income from the bequest will be
used for an annual mathematics
contest prize.
In addition, the estate of Dr.
Halperin, a mathematician who
served on the faculty from 1920
until his death in 1945, has given
the college YMCA a new motion
picture projector.
