Engineers Establish 'Poodah' File

The Engineering Council
will set up and maintain a
"Poodah" File of up-to-date
tests, quizzes and exams to be
placed in the Rodman Room

The file is designed to assist
students who do not have
special means of obtaining
study help, first year students
who do not know what to
expect on the first few tests
and upperclassmen who want
to increase their ability in
problem solving.

The Council will place a
box in the Engineering School
Library to receive donations to
the file. Anyone wishing to
help organize the file or donate
material should contact Philip
Krastman at 295-8386.

London Museum

The designs of University
Architecture and City Planning
Prof. H. Cassius Higgins will be
incorporated into the proposed
London Museum, which will
have its cornerstone laid by
England's Queen Elizabeth
tomorrow.

Mr. Higgins, also a senior
partner of the London
architectural firms of Higgins,
Ney and Partners, designed the
exhibit rooms and interior
displays.

"The sole purpose of the
museum," he said, "is to tell
the story of London, tracing
the growth through
archaeological exhibits."

The museum's interior is
organized
"chronothematically," a
thematic approach to
chronological events. Mr.
Higgins, who has taught at the
University the past four
springs, plans to introduce
chronothematics into his
curriculum.
