Flashes
From
Classes
Journalistically speaking this col-
umn is not. . .It serves as a sound-
ing board for the choice boners and
funnies which pop up in the var-
ious classes on campus.
Since all class and campus anti-
dotes do not reach the Daily stu-
dents and professors are asked to
turn in short comments of humor-
ous happenings at the Oklahoma
Daily office in the journalism
building.
Russian history professor. Dr.
Herbert Ellison whose classes
are usually filled to capacity
ends up moving from room to
room and building to building
each semester to find enough
chairs for his many enrollees.
To combat the problem (or may-
be it was just a coincidence)
one of his courses is offered at
- 7:30 a.m. Surprisingly enough
the love of sleep deters much of
- the interest in Russian studies. . .
When April showers finally roll
around students are wondering
how Dr. Stephen M. Sutherland
professor of geography wrill react.
Not the least bit inhibited about
being young at heart he thinks
nothing of removing his shoes and
socks rolling up his pants legs
and splashing through the rain.
(Fair warning sir our rainy weath-
er photographer is on the alert. . .)
Dr. J. Clayton Feaver David
Ross Boyd professor of philosophy
has a knack for forgetting names.
Seems he covers up his name fail-
ure by calling all the girls Lucy
and all the boys Oscar. . .
In his Philosophy 2 class. Dr.
Feaver asked students to des-
cribe man. One boy said Ties
body. Having k pretty coed
stand up the joking professor
asking the boy Ts this taan or
body? . . ...
A voice from the back of the
room shouted Well I dont
know what it is but Im sure
willing to find out. . .
Professors should be hesitant td
step out of the room evdn for
short periods of time. It is during
their absence that students can
easily be incited to riot. Example:
Paul Galloway Norman graduate
student instead of reading his ed-
itorial in Journalism 313 took ad-
vantage of Mr. R.V. Petersons
momentary absence and announc-
ed to the class that his edit crial
was on "J professors and why we
should stamp them out. He sug-
gested first that all students should
wear bigger and better shoes. But
before the class could stampede
the campus corner booteries the
professor returned unstamped. . .
Tired of translating stories of
Caesar some Latin students
have found a way to liven up the
course by translating well-known
English advertismeuts into Latin.
Examples given were Mova
quid renovat (the pause that
refreshes) Semisalvus non es
(Dont be half safe) Ilia aget
annon aget? (Does she or
doesnt she?) Gustatum gratum
fruisti tam benignus ad saporem
tuum (Enjoy satisfying flavor
so friendly to your taste).
Coeds are ingenious people. Ru-
mor has it that they have found
a way to make grilled cheese sand-
wiches in the dormitory by wrap-
ping bread and cheese in aluminum
foil and pressing with an electric
iron. . .
Public Debate
Slated Tonite
A public debate on the question
Resolved that the House Un-
American Activities committee

at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday in dining
room 6 of the Union.
Bob Biles Chandler sophomore
and Guy Parkhurst Oklahoma City
sophomore will speak for abolition
of the committee. Tom Watkins
Oklahoma City law graduate and
Doug Sharp Wewoka graduate stu-
dent will speak opposing abolition.
The order of the speakers will
be Biles ihen Sharp. Parkhurst and
Watkins will finish. Following the
speakers will be a period of aud-
ience participation.

The legend of Queen Scheherazade
of Thousand and One Nights tells
of her life since the caliph Sharay-
ar had begun slaying his brides of
only one night.
She invented ingenious narratives
to tell the caliph in order to save
her life serializing her stories to
keep his interest and thereby stay-
ing her life for a thousand and one
nights.
After she presented the caliph
with a child he renounced his mis-
trust of women. Queen Sheherazade
was immortalized by the composer
Rimsky Korsakov in h i s classic
Sheherazade.

Union Airs Stereo Sounds
By JOE DAVIS
Theres a new sound in the Un-
ion. Its full stereophonic sound at
the touch of a finger. The place is
the south card lounge where fully
remote controlled stereophonic re-
production equipment is installed.
Selections are made from the con-
trol on the north side of the lounge
which resembles the push button
selector of a juke box.
The unit has two unique features
that make it the only one of its kind
so far installed in Oklahoma. It can
electronically adjust itself to play
records oi both 45rmp and 33t3rmp
speeds and the sound is kept at a
constant volume through automatic
controls. The speed variation al-
lows a wider recording selection.
A committee headed by Mrs. Jan
Crawford director of Union activ-
ities is in charge of buying records.
Eventually 100 selections will be of-
fered of classical and popular songs
An order for the unit was made
over a year ago to the Seeburg Co.
Chicago said Jack Guthrie assis-
tant business manager but it was
not developed for the market until
two months ago. The Chicago firm
is the only one offering this type of
fully automatic unit.
Bass or treble speakers are lo-
cated in each corner of the lounge
with like speakers diagonally op-
posite each other. The units elec-
tronic equipment is behind the pan-
el to which the selector is attached
and is accessible from the UAB office.
OKLAHOMA TUESDAY MARCH 20
Candidate
Reveals
Platform
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)
W. P. Bill Atkinson unveiled his
pay as you go platform for gov-
ernor Monday night and boldly pro-
posed a one-cent hike in the sales
tax.
It would raise $54 million per
biennium. Of this about $10.8 mil-
lion would go to cities and towns.
Highway appropriations would be
increased $20 million. Additional
funds would be spent for colleges
schools mental health safety and
other functions he said.
There are only two major
issues in this campaign he said.
Finances and creation of new
jobs. I believe the people rec-
ognize the problems and are
ready to face them.
Atkinson poked at Raymond
Garys proposed road bond issue
as a $210 million mortgage any
way you look at it. He said the
interest alone on Garys proposal
would build 410 miles of two-lane
highway or 165 miles of four-lane.
Atkinson is the first candidate
to come out flatly in favor of a
tax increase. Some have skid it
may be necessary and some have
proposed submitting the question
to the people. Atkinson said this is
the responsibility of the governor
and the legislature. 4 be in charge of the AWS national
