The consent of the student activi- j ties director^ is required. The Town Hall manager will be responsible to the director of stu dent activities through the Stu dent: Life Committee. Both Veterans and corps mem bers are eligible foy this position, but election will be done by the Junior Class. All candidates will fill out per sonal forms in the Student Ac tivities Office. ' ★ Veteran Elections Candidates for the position of Veteran Battalion and Longhorn editors, yell leaddr, and athletic representative will be voted upon bjy veteran students in their re spective dormitories. The general election will bo con- djucted in each doirm through the housemaster. Comnleted ballots will then be turned over to the ejection committed of the Student Senate. Non-dormitory students will use an official ballot -printed in the Battalioh. ★ >' ! Corps Elections be chosen through ballots distil ibu ted among ROTC dorms. Complet ed ballots will then be turned over to the Student Senate election committee. - The Junior Class will select, from a list of qualified candidates, the Longhorn editor, athletic rep resentative, and Town Hall man ager. The Junior Class will also elect two senior yell leaders, one of which will be named head yell leader. The two junior leaders al ready in office will automatically become candidates for the senior positions. A 1.25 grade point aver age is required for yell leader can didates. The Sophomore Class will select two junior yell leaders from the list of qualified candidates. All results of these elections held by the Junior and Sophomore Classes will be turned in to the Student Senate election committee before the general election held on the campus. The activities point system pre sented at last month’s meeting was approved by the Student Lifei Com mittee. The Student Senate election com mittee is responsible for the ac cumulation of these points. A re port of discrepancies will report discrepancies to the Senate, and final enforcement will be up to the Student Life Committee. ★ Tom Laros, chairman of the Student Senate election commit tee, reported the qualifications and election procedures as approved by the Senate.

Main Difficult mechanical problems solved by Du Pont chemists and engineers to make nylon paintbrushes practicable Nylon bristles used in toothbrushes and hairbrushes are uniform in diameter— that is, they are ’'level.” Hut paint brushes made from such bristles did not paint well. Studies of the best natu ral bristles showed that they were ta pered, so a research'proghim to produce tapered nylon bristles Was started. Some difficult mechanical problems were encountered. Level brush bristles were being made by extruding molten nylon through spinneret openings de signed to produce filaments of perfectly uniform diameter. A new technique had to be found to make tapered ones. Since it was not practical to taj>er the fila ment after cooling and drawing, a pre cise taper had to be put in just as the nylbn emerged molted from the spin neret. And it had to survive the drawing operation, in which nylon is stretched to several times its original length! Techniques originated in laboratory The original idea for solving this prob lem came from Du Pont chemists, who L worked out the techn ques in the lab oratory, in the somewhat crude form represented in the accompanying dia gram. It being largely a mechanical problem, chemical and mechanical en gineers were culled in to cooperate soon after the studies got Under way. After further laboratory development, the engineers put the operation on a pro duction‘basis. The final result was a highly efficient process for tapering nylon bristles. As the molten filament emerges from the spinneret, pinch-rolls driven by a series of gears pull it sloWly, then quickly. The size of the filament varies with the speed of pulling—thick diameters re sulting at slow speeds and thin diam eters at fast. Next the nylon goes to the drawing operation, where it is stretched by rollers to give it strength and resiliency. Cnginaart designed special machines .Following spinning and drawing, in which many filaments are handled si multaneously, the nylon is "set.” Then it goes to a special machine, designed by Du Pont engineers, which "feels out” the crests and troughs and Cuts the bristle at these points. This type of design was necessary because of the un avoidable small variations in Uk* length of individual bristles, Sorting the bris- •pm.ntiof Hi. “*pin-dra w" •d from (he crudq laboratory djoprn ilfHi. diagram b.low. ! ndpapering their ends com- jl'ii f and I ftes th« lany iii'cbniqiues contributed to the yelopnw fit of the optimum properties nylonTp i tapered bristles.
