¡ ö f j l l i ä i ä u f a i l Vol. II, No. 10 Bethesda, Maryland, Monday, March 15, 1948 Single Copy 10c Phil Leahy and Ted Jans examining new sound projector. Hot Debate Looms It seems that the prospect of an informal debate has developed out of the issues argued in a recent campus bull-session. Thus far only a challenge has been issued, so that no definite plans have been made as to the date and location. The issue of the debate will be the highly controversial- questions of science and religion. The scientific faction accuses religion as being narrow-minded, bigoted, and as failing to give all men a broader conception of God and Truth. The religious faction not only denies this, but attacks science as a self-appointed enemy of religion. This debate, when hnd if it comes, should prove to be extremely interesting. RECORD DANCE The basketball team threw a record dance a wek ago Friday night in the B.-C. C. gymnasium. A very small group turned out for the dance and they spent most of the evening playing cards. Records were played all evening for those who wanted to dance and cokes were available for those thirsty people. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE BY Tom Hill We, the students have begun the last lap of the 1947-48 year at M. J. C. It is not a time to look back and lose ourselves inexamining the past, to congratulate ourselves on how well we did in this, or reprove ourselves about how badly we did in that. Too often we lose our perspective and tend to rest amid our past achievements and failures, and we awake suddenly to find the most important thing— the present and even the future has slipped by our grasp —never to be fully regained. Life is like walking on a moving treadmill, we can never go forward by standing still or by idly moving along. Plunge ahead, let’s not wait too long in making our decisions, someone will always tell us when we are wrong. We, the students have an unequaled opportunity here at M. J. C. All of us feel proud to be part of the student body, except those who cannot see the trees for the woods. Those of us who have been to other colleges will back me up in this. Never again after we leave (Continued on Page 2) Faculty Member Aids in Isolation of Cold Germ Dr. Ernest Jawetz is now engaged, in association with Dr. Norman Topping of the iU. S. Public Health 'Service, in tracking down the germ which causes the common cold. The research took place at Lorton Reformatory, Va., where, by utilization of a volunteer system, experiments were conducted with human beings. Recently it was announced that they had at last isolated and actually grown a common-cold germ in the laboratory. This does not mean that all of mankind’s sufferings from this nuisance are over, for until a serum or vaccine is developed this little pest will continue costing the country 100,000,000 man-days a year and a billion dollars in doctors’ fees and lost production, not to mention untold suffering and general misery. Yet it is a step, an advance, and M. J. C. wishes to extend a very sincere congratulation to Dr. Jawetz for his part in this work. M. J. C. Gets New Projector The Board of Education has presented M. J. C. with a 16 mm. Bell and Howell Sound Projector. It arrived on March 4 complete with screen. It was first used hy the music class to show the instruments of the symphony orchestra. The school is now arranging a schedule of films to be used with the various classes. On March 14th, Dr. Ross MacCardle, the Embryology teacher, will present two scientific films which he obtained from the Wistar Institution in Philadelphia. This is one of the largest research institutes in the United States. The Chemistry Dept, will show a picture on March 11th, and Coach Rubini has several athletic films on the way. The projector was obtained through the cooperation of Mrs. Louis A. Walker, who is director of the Audio-Visual Aid in Montgomery County. There are several film libraries in and around Montgomery County from which film may be obtained on various subjects. Dr. Martinez Elected President A. A. T. S. P. Dr. Martinez, M. J. C.’s professor of Spanish, was recently elected to the office of President of the Washington chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. M. J. C. Bowling Association Katy Bart The Montgomery Junior Cof-lege Bowling League went into full swing last Thursday at the Bethesda Bowling Alley. Although the scores were on the low side, everyone was having a good time. Eight teams are competing. After the first session, the teams stand as follows: Prentiss and team consisting of Schneider, Stul, Kendall and Hobbs, with a team average of 93.4. Neale’s team with Janson, Lindsey, Mauger, and Bart is a close second with a team average of 93. Tied for third stand the teams of Foley and Hill and following close behind are Field, Fitzwater, Leahy, and Grubar. Oremland bowled the highest average and Lindsey knocked down the highest score of the day.
