Mathematics Takes Spotlight In Lecture, Faculty Article Even the corner of State and Madi son, even the speedometer in the car you drive, have a bearing on mathe matics, stated J. William Peters. Ph.D., addressing a general assembly last Tues day on Human Angles in Mathematics. Dr. Peters, a graduate of Johns Hop kins university and faculty member in mathematics at the University of Illinois, was 1940 speaker for the annual Science Forum lecture. To escape the influence of mathemat ics in our everyday lives, Dr. Peters asserted, we would have to relinquish our homes, our machinery most of our modern culture- -and return to pre- Egyptian civilization.

All students who are interested in working for the issue should attend staff meeting in the Skyscraper office at 3 p. m. today. Dr. A. L. O'Toole, of the mathematics department, has eonrtibuted an article. Remedial Reading in College Mathe matics, to the March issue of the Na- tioxai. Mathematics Magazine. Dr. O'Toole's thesis in the article is that inability to read is an important cause of failure among college students, and a remedial reading program seems to be necessary especially in mathematics. Dr. O'Toole suggests that the pro gram become a part of the regular class room technique of all teachers of mathe matics and that an attempt be made early in the term to discover the students most in need of guidance in methods of reading.
