Phi Ela Sigma
Gives Study Hints
If you are a and if you
have come to college with inten
tions of doing at least a little
studying, then you may still con
sider yourself in the running for
an invitation to join Phi . Eta
Sigma, freshman scholastic honor
ary society.
Whether or not you make the
grade by the end of the first se
mester, there are several study
hints that Phi Eta Sigma annually
passes on to incoming freshman.
Above all, don’t forget that mod
erate and regular sleeping hours
will be of benefit, whether you
spend most of your time at the
study table or on the football field.
Over-eating-is another “don’t.” It
is bad for your digestion, pep and
pocketbook.
Outlining is the best procedure
for taking notes, after you have
learned to read what you wrote
while half asleep in the lecture
room. Too, one must learn to con
centrate in spite of the “session”
in the next room. Budget your
time and learn to “push” yourself
while reading.

Freshmen Must Attend
Weekly Class Meetings
Explains Novel War Forci
Dr. Helmut Landsberg, of the
Mineral Industries School, who
points out that weather forecast
ing may be an appreciable'weapon
in the hands of the Germans in
their drive against England.
Weather Station
Vital Weapon
Dr. Helmut Landsberg, in
charge of the weather station and
the 24-hour meterological observ
atory in the School of Mineral In
dustries, believes that Germany’s
long-range weather station is now
being recognized by the British
as a vital military objective.
“If this is true,” he adds, “it is
just another sign of the strategic
importance of meterology in pres
ent-day warfare, and a further
endorsement of the effort being
made by the United States to build
up its forecasting techniques.”
As an indication of the British
policy, Dr. Landsberg pointed to
a London dispatch reporting an
RAF raid on Spa Hamburg. This
is the resort town where Dr. Franz
Baur’s famous forecasting insti
tute is located. There is no other
apparent military objective in the
town.
Dr. Landsberg who once studied
under Dr. Baur at the University
of Frankfurt, said Baur’s fore
casts have been accurate because
he started long-range forecasts so
long ago. Dr. Baur’s station is
credited with picking favorable
weather for Hitler’s conquests.
Baur has been long-range fore
casting for ten years.
The United States is taking a
step in the right diretcion with its
attempt at five-day forecasts, be
gun a few months ago. The U. S.
Army Air orps is offering 100
scholarships for graduate training
in meterology..
Dr. Landsberg said weather has
always .been a mighty factor in
warfare but holds unprecedented
attention now. because of the sci
entific possibility of making weath
er an ally. “Aerial and mechan
ized blitzkrieg depends on good
weather.”
