Grant Whitehouse, is proving of great value to the solution of sewage disposal problems of Los Angeles, Calif., according to Dr. C. G. Gun- nerson, a civil engineer formerly associated with the City of Los Angeles and now with the Cali fornia State Department of Water Resources.

Campus Cleaners gard is reported in the Journal of Hydraulics, American Society of Civil Engineers. Gunnerson says. “Whitehouse’s work will serve to guide sanitary engineers who are concerned with waste discharge into marine waters.” The clay research cited concerns the settling and flocculation of sus pended solids in sea waters and has been extensively discussed in a lengthy treatise by Whitehouse, technical director of the College Electron Microscopy Laboratories and associates, entitled “Differen tial Settling Tendencies of Clay Minerals in Saline Waters,” pub lished by Permagon Press, Inc.

Academic Bulletin Board Offers Stupendous Bargains With the semester’s, close near at hand, the Academic Building bulletin board is daily theming with stupendous offers made at “slashed prices,” “with YOUR welfare in mind,” and definitely with the bulletin posters’ included. Items advertised on,- the board ranged from fenderskirts to flow ers, parachutes to Packards, rings to raccoon coats, and many other bargains with large general pub lic appeal. A broken romance prompted this offer: “Have been flushed! One- fourth karat diamond ring ap praisal $198.50. Need money, take look, make offer!” In the lost and found depart ment, the following message ap peared: “Lost: ohe tan trench coat, plain lining; Found: one tan trench coat, Plaid lining. Wanted? A trade. Reason ? I like mine bet ter. Explanation? We made trade accidentally in the Memorial Stu dent Center.” Another “lost and found” item reads, “Lost: one grey car coat,” and added to it is, “with raccoon tail.” Cars and accessories aren’t the largest thing offered on the board this week; there is also an air plane front Khnsas for sale, al though the usual number of “hot” bargains on cars prevail. One of the car advertisements reads, “For Sale: 1953 DeSoto. Added to it was another message: “This is a 1953 model, and it looks like DeSoto, himself!” Besides regular, ordinary run- of-the-mill items, this week a para chute and accessories are offered. The ad reads, “Complete Sky Div ing Outfit, 28-foot back and chest packs; sleeve, stopwatch, helmet, inverted T modification in main canopy.” And someone must have a horti culture assignment due; his ad reads, “Wanted: Need a flower collection and if you have a col lection of any kind, please leave your name and address. Would be willing to pay for it.” PROPOSED DRAG STRIP (Continued from Page 1) before a review board. Any mem ber receiving two moving traffic violations in a period of six months would be suspended from all club privileges for a period of not less than three months. Luther said he would like to see that portion of the constitution strengthened. “Make one violation cause for suspension,” he said. Sheriff J. W. Hamilton said the only logical place for a drag strip would be the old Bryan Air Force Base. “The whole idea has its advan tages and its disadvantages,” he said. “I’m not in favor of drag ging as such, but I’m going to wait and see before I make any commit ment.” ELECTION (Continued from Page 1) Roy Russel Huddleston, George E. Reese, Lewis Zaeske, Jr., Richard B. Lockwood and Thomas Hollis Meadows. Hamilton also wanted the con- stitution strengthened especially in parts dealing with the compo sition of the review board to over see association discipline. As it is tentatively set up, the review board is composed of mem bers only. The sheriff was doubtful that a drag strip would cut down on street racing. “This will just promote more impromptu drags,” he said. “When ever club members meet they’ll want to race.” Dr. Stericker To Address Joint Group Seven candidates have filed for posts in the School of Veterinary Medicine, including David W. Elli son as senior candidate; Joe W. Lindley, Everett M. Bailey, Jr. and Malcolm E. Hickman, Jr. as junior candidates, and L. Gabriel Navar, Malcolm B. Strole and Karon G.
