Newest Ruling
Aids Students
   New regulations for in-
definite leaves for educa-
tional purposes went into
effect  recently.   Under
these regulations, the proj-
ect director is given the
power to issue the educa-
tional leaves to the appli -
cant if he has received
his leave clearance.   The
applicant no longer has
to send his papers to Wash-
ington, D. C., and may re-
ceive his leave much fast-
er by this new method.
   In order to secure this
leave, the applicant must
have evidence  (obtained
through the National Stu-
dent Relocation Council or
otherwise)  that he has
been admitted to the school.
He must also show that he
has sufficient funds or a
reasonably certain oppor-
tunity for part-time em-
ployment to enable him to
finish one quarter or a
semester   of  school work.
ELECTRICAL  STORM
LIGHTNING  STRIKES  IN  12G
   "Lightning    struck    and
made    a     hole     this  big at 
12G,"  explained   the  terri-
fied   girl,  making a    foot-
wide  circle with her hands.
   "No kidding!” we   cried.
   "Yes,   and  three  persons
in  there  were     scorched  to
death!"
   This last statement was
rather absurd, we thought,
but we five members of the
PIONEER gang    (remembering
our   boss'  words about a
"nose for news") quickly
headed toward   12G-3B Sunday
night, following the terri-
fic   electrical   storm.
   "Just  like   an   open
house," somebody  cracked,
seeing the crowds stream-
ing into the room for a
look-see.    We, instead, fol-
lowed a girl who threw a
flashlight beam on the roof,
crying, "Look,that's where,
the lightning struck.!”
   What we   saw was  a  piece
of wood     sticking  up  from
the     roof . . .but  no  hole.
That's  all. 
   The    apartment  is  occu-
pied   by  the  Hitoshi  Masato
family. 
   What actually happened:
a bolt of lightning struck
the chimney and traveled
through the  wire support
to the roof, where it split
the lath, burning a hole.
