Flexible Heating Plan Wins
Honors For College Prof .
Shivering residents of oil-heated
homes would probably welcome
Elliot Leonard Whitaker, assistant
professor of architecture at the
College. Professor Whitaker won
first prize in the recent "Flexible
Heating Contest" sponsored.by. the
Bituminous Coal Institute.
The term flexible heating does
not imply radiators niade of rub
ber or some related plastic. The
system on which Professor Whit
aker worked is flexible in that
various types of fuels may be used
In it.
When, for instance, war curtails
the supply, of fuel oil, the con
sumer could switch to gas or coal
without bearing the expense that

Dean of Women lists
Keeping in line with the Christ
mas spirit, Charlotte E. Ray, dean
of women, has made a study of
what she considers suitable and
timely readings for this season of
the year.
Included on her list are: the
Biblical accounts of the story of
Christrtias, Dickens' "Christmas
Carol," Van Dyke's "Story of
Other \Vise Men," the New Yivk
Times'. series , of "Hundred Need
iest Cases," "The Star That
Gleatris in - the Blackness," and
"Our First Christmas Tree," both
irr,the December issue of the Read
ers Digest, the current accounts of
the work of the Red Cross, and
the posters for the WSGA Christ
mas drive.
"This list .of readings," stated
Dean Ray, "should aid students
in remembering that there are mil
lions of suffering people through-:
out the world . today who need the
bare necessities of life much more
than we need gifts."
By OSTELLE SIMON
the installation of an entirely new
heating system would entail. On
the other hand, if the use of soft
or bituminous coal was restricted,
the consumer could convert to gas
or fuel oil under this system.
In Professor \Vhitaker's plan a
special chute was provided so that
coal could be dumped directly into
the This would serve to
make the coat man's job easier
when lie transferred the fuel from
truck to cellar.
Economy of space was one of
the points stressed in judging the
entries of the contest. Through
confining the heating system to as
small a space as possible, Profes
sor Whitaker makes room for a
laundry room, a game room or any
other type which fitted the pecu-
liar needs of the owner.
Professor Whitaker, who came
to the College in 1936, holds both
a bachelor's and master's degree
in architecture from Massachu
setts Institute of Technology where
he also taught. During 1932 and
1933 he traveled and studied in
Europe under a fellowship from
this same college.
Together with Professor B. Ken
neth Johnstone, head of the de
partment of architecture, and sev
eral other associates, he has writ
ten a book, "Building or Buying a
House," which will be published
shortly after the first of the year.
An outgrowth of a series of let:-
tires, the book deals with the
financing, the selection of a site,
.he planning, the costs, the con
truction, and the liabilities vela
:ive to building a home. Professo?
Nhitaker feels that it will be a
aelp to young persons blindly
.tumbling into home ownership.

THE COLLEGIAN
Goldfish Defy
Zoological Law
Will two goldfish if left in an
uncleaned fishbowl for four days
become three? "
This is the problem confronting
Cathy Jones aild Margie Dyer,
proud but bewildered owners of
three goldfish where there were
recently only two..
Saturday morning the coeds
cleaned the bowl as usual. A busy
weekend prevented a re-occur
rence of that task until Tuesday,
at which time loud screams echo
ed throughout the DTS house her
alding the new arrival.
Frantic search among the lib
rary references discloses this phe
nomenon to be in defiance of all
'.nolegical law. The two coeds feel
that there should also bed legal
itatute prohibiting the unexpect
ed addition of alien goldfish.

Simpson Foresees
Negro Problem
With wartime upheavals empha
sizing the nation's racial problems,
Dr. George E. Simpson of the Col
lege predicted today that "serious
trouble" lies ahead unless negroes
are granted greater educational.
and economic opportunities.
Dr. Simpson, head of the divi
sion of sociology, pointed out that
racial tensions increased following
World War J. Wartime shifts in
population—with their resultant
mixture of Northern and Southern
workers—plus inadequate housing
and recreation facilities have made
the racial problem more crucial
than ever before, he said.
Discrediting the idea that new
might attempt to formulate
subversive movements, Dr. Simp
son said their one desire is to ob
tain the right to live as other citi
zens do.
"So long as negroes are barred
from certain jobs, denied full po
litical rights, paid less for doing
the same work as white men, and
allotted lower educational appro
priations, there is bound to be re
sentment which sometimes builds
up to a racial outburst," he added.
The best approach to the prob
lem, the sociologist said, is to re
move economic, political, and edu
cation barriers and to provide ade
quate housing and recreation facil
ities. He suggests, in addition, that
instruction concerning the nation's
cultural and racial groups be in
corporated in the public school
program.
