PAGE EIGHT ODK Seeks System for Membership The organizational committee of Omicron Delta Kappa, national, men's leadership fraternity, is working on a point system for evaluating extra-curricular activi ties of prospective members, Ar thur M. Wellington, ODK advisor, said yesterday. The group was officially en dorsed by the national chapter and is now preparing to submit its constitution to the Senate Com mittee on Student Affairs for final approval. If the constitution is approved the chapter will be installed in May. Simes to Report Frank J. Simes, dean of men and secretary of the committee, said yesterday that he had written to colleges and universities with ODK, chapters to inquire about their point systems. He will make a report of his findings to the next committee meeting on Thurs day. The four students on the seven man committee, Robert Dennis, Watson Leese, Bruce Lieske, and George Williams, will study phas es of student life in order to eval uate student participation in ex tra-curricular activities. Their re ports also will be made at the Thursday meeting. Five Major Fields According to the ODK constitu tion, the five major fields of stu dent life are student government; social and religious affairs; schol arship; publications; forensic and applied arts; and athletics. The ODK constitution states that any junior or senior man who is scholastically in the upper 35 per cent of the men in his college and who is outstanding in one field of student life or a lead er in two or more fields is eligi ble for membership. Players-- (Continued from first page) finding out that he is to be hung, rather than released, as he be lieves. Karl Held is aggressive, agree able abd audible as Mr. Cart wright. He alone is uncomfortable in the company of criminals and shows it admirably. Held also dis tinguishes himself in his scenes with Miss Wylie. William Taylor, as Lord Wain wright, seems to have trouble in projecting his voice to the audi ence, but he has a fine, cold stance and facial expression to his favor, and he actually does succeed in finally making his way to Laetitia's bedroom. Emil Haas makes a fierce, small appearance as Mr. Fierce, and Steve Babcock and George Spel vin, as the Bailiffs, are distin guished chiefly by enchantingly dirty feet and burlap clothing. Two especially appealing facets in making "Children of Darkness" entertaining are the tasteful set and fine lighting. Lighting for the show is beautiful without getting carried away with itself, and the set, with its few essentials, is the epitome of a jailer's home. "Children of Darkness" lends itself well to arena-type staging; it would probably lose its realistic, "small-room" charm on the Sch wab stage. Full houses should bless Players for the next five weekends. CHUCK WAGON featuring CENTENNIAL SPECIAL Steak Sandwich on French Bread with the works 30c Best in 100 Years!

Reactor -- (Continued from page two) rods can "shut down" the reactor instantaneously upon impulses sent to them by electronic safety devices. When the rods pick up the impulses, they are automati cally dropped into the core to ab sorb the surplus of neutrons, and stop the chain reaction. A few of the instances in which the devices will cause the reactor to shut down are: if the nuclear radiation level in the building rises beyond a predetermined lev el, if the chain reaction increases at too rapid a rate, or if anything goes wrong with the electronic control circuits. According to Cochran, it would be inconceivable that all the rods would not fall into the core to stop the reaction. In other words, the reactor has about as much chance of failing as a person has of making a phone call with a nickel. Calculations and tests have been conducted on what would happen if all the safety devices did fail at the same time. "The worst that could happen would be that the reaction would boil the water in the pool and thus automatically cease opera tion," Cochran explained. "In this process no radioactive material would be released from the re actor core," he said. The nuclear reactor is to be used at the University mainly for re search. Nuclear engineers will be trained in the use of the instru ment and research will be con ducted in many fields. Several de- STEP RIGHT UP AND GET YOUR MONEY!
