University Plans BigEngineering StationDeveloped FuseImportant Electronic Device WasOutstanding War Contribution
Authorities in Washington dis-closed late yesterday that theEngineering Experiment Stationof the University of Florida as-sisted in the development of per-haps the second most importantnew weapon of World War II-an electronic fuse for detonatinga bomb or projectile automatic-ally when it near its target.
Really a miniature radio send-ing and receiving set smaller thanthe ordinary teacup, the new fusedeveloped in Gainesville differsfrom all others in that it con-tains its own wind-driven gene-rator instead of a battery whichoccupies precious - space in thenose of the projectile.
In February, 1945, over 1,000bombs detonated by this new fuzewere dropped on Iwo Jima bySeventh Air Force bombers. Themissions were exceptionally suc-cessful, averaging approximately90 per cent accuracy as shown byreconnaissance photographs. In

the case of a bomb, the dispersionof the bomb fragments is greaterwhen the bomb is equipped witha radio proximity (electronic)fuze rather than the customarypoint detonator fuze. This in-creased dispersion- renders thebomb four to twenty times aseffective against enemy person-nel.- In 1943, the Division of theNational Defense Research Coun-cil, headed by Dr. AlexanderEllett, of the Office of ScientificResearch and Development inWashington, D. C., asked the Uni-versity of Florida to undertakethe development and improve-ment of such a fuze./Dr. John J.

Gators UnderdogIn Tulane Tilt
'22 Was Last GatorWin Over Greenies
When the Fightlng Gators takethe field in New Orleans Saturdayafternoon to furnish the opposi-tion for the Tulane Green Wave,they will be the decided underdogin the minds of the sports expertsof the nation but the decided f a-vorite of Gator followers.
This is the eighth meeting ofthe two teams and the Gators willbe trying for their third win. Thelast Florida win came in 1922. Thetwo teams have not met since1935 when the Green Wave hand-ed the Floridians a sound beat-ing.
The Gators will be captained byJack White who hails from Paris,
iTexas. Jack is a sophomore andis playing his second year of ballfor the Gators. He has playedgreat ball so far this year andhas been a great help to his sideof the line. In the . Mississippigame last week he broke throughand blocked a punt that meant ascore for the Gators.
This is the second conferencetilt for the Gators and it willmean a lot in the loop race. Ifthe Gators win they will be astrong contender. for the crown.The Greenies are rated one of thetop teams of the South so theFlorida team will have to playsome mighty good ball t6 comeout on top.
With the help of a few breaksand if the boys play the type ofball they did in the Mississippigame they will give a good ac-count of themselves.

FOR, BY, VETERANS'AND OF: VBy GEORGE KOWKABANY
With veterans returning to the campus in ever increasing nuna-loers the University has been hard pressed to come to a decision on*he evaluation of courses taken in the various army and navy
ueational programs.The America-c Council On Education realizing the complexity of
problem has expended large sims of money and time in an at-.pt to clarify the situation. The result of this work has been the
p Nication of a volmninou- guide listing recommendations of the.omucil on evaluation of tne courses in ASTP, V-12, V-5, etc.
Committee ReportsHere at tbr,'i niversity, a faculty committee headed by R. S.
Sohnson. registrar, has been studying the problem for over a year.The result of their labors has been tile compilation of a four pageairport dealing with specific rules and general recommendations,or evaluating credits. The committee is to be commended forlisa brevity of the report which indicates the enormous amount ofcandensation and simplification involved in writing it.However the very complexity of dealing with hundreds of special
c.aes demands that individual attention be given to each case. Themumittee pondered over thousands of pages of reports compiled by
v uter colleges before writing its own report.A rather general estimate of the report would be to say that
,he Universitywill ba as reasonable as possible in giving credits', asoordance with the various schemes for evaluating courses,msofar as duplication of credits and lack of applicability to theitadents degree objective are avoided.
Housing ProblemsAnother problem bound to grow in succeeding months is that of
)s-3oviding adequate, low cost housing for veterans and their wives.'I i a housing committee in conjunction with Dr. Tigert and Dean R. C.ifeaty is thoroughly going into the problem of providing low cost
'p. rtment units near the campus.Among the plans being considered is that of building apart-
v'ent houses. The difficulties involved are obvious. The scarcitymaterialss and the high cost of labor make such a project dif-
. q-cut at this time. Renting houses near the campus brings upihe housing shortage.The committee has even considered moving suitable dwellings into
.-i, 1esville from other cities. As yet nothing definite can be an-
n ed However the committee is making every effort to solve the
' -,olem and hopes to have the situation remedied by February orJn .
