W. Robinson, president of the YMCA Gapinet > 1 The first discussions will be held Tuesday night, March 23, on the subject “Man-Woman Relations.” They will be held simultaneously in four places—Ktdst Lounge, Dorm 9 Lounge, Dorm 10 Lounge,, and the YMCA, Assembly Room. In 192# a few interested men on the campus, including Dr. G, C. Doak, Dr. L. G. Jones, W. L. Pcn- berthy, arid Dan Russell agreed to hold discussions among freshmen jn different' 1 organizations. These meetings proved so popular that in 1930, 20 groups were organized. By 1941, 54 groups Were in oper ation. Previous to 1941, these groups had been held exclusively for freshmen. In that year, at the request of the upperclassmen, two groups were organized for sopho mores, one for 1 juniors] and one for seniors. Leaders were selected by the group, and discussions ran for at least 8 week*—some running all year. After the first meeting, subjects were selected by the men present. A good feature of the program was that it brought the students into intimate contact with faculty members, stated M. L. Cash ion, YMCA secretary. Present plans are to have two discussions to which everyone is invited. Then it is hoped that dis cussions can be started in levery organization, Robinson stated.

SINGLETARY The meson, that newest addition to the list of newsworthy atomic Iparticles, is not really new at all according to Dr. J. G. Potter, head iof the physics department. ! In; commenting on' the reoent an nouncement that mesons have been iprodkeed in the University of Cali- f6'mip’s\400Q-ton cyclotron, Potter pointed put that the meson itself was {first postulated in 1935 by a Japanese scientist to explain cer tain natural disintegration proces ses within tjhe atom. 1 The effects of mesons in a cloud chamber were later actuary observed by two Americana. / J ' Now for the first tlrtie mesons { have beep created in the labora tory under the direction of Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence, fajnoug in atomic research, and James B. Fisk, research director of the Atomic Energy Commission, j In case some non-techpical stu dents are by this time wondering just what a meson is and what it will do, here are some pertinent facts concerning the particles: It is about 200 times as -heavy as an electron but unlike an elec tron it is positively charged. Short ly after being {formed a meson V* Hnum into elocfclmn* and breaks down other particles HI Ji There are no practical applica tions as yet/or the meson, accord ing to Dr. Lawrence, but they will probably be one of the scientist’s best tools for research on atomic nuclei Before the recent laboratory synthesis,,; the only available source of mesons for observation was cosmic rays. It is supposed that mesons are formed in the upper air by collision of fast hy- • drogen atoms with other matter. Mesons which have been pro duced at U, of C. have only about 4 million volts of potential but with more powerful atom smashers they can ba given much greater energy. . ii T if I; Grant Presented t Development Fund For Scholarship .'I Creation of an endowment which will assist some worthy Texas boy, to attend A&M each year from a gift by Mr. and Mrs. Waller T.

It is our hope that the as sistance given to young men in the years to come through this fund may help to solvej financial problems and give them an oppor- [tunity for becoming better men and better citizens.” “This is a splendid gift to the cause of the future of Texas and to the strengthening of the work of this college," said President Gibb Gilchrist, in accepting the seb ship plan. “It is a primary objective of M to encourage worthy and com] tent young men to secure thei cation necessary to their full de velopment as citizens.
