Campus Club Alumni Elect-»New~*0.tl'c.cbna—1 The fall meeting of the Campus Club Alumni Association was held Tuesday, December 2, at the Aller- ton House. The meeting was held primarily to elect officers for the ensuing year and to discuss matters of importance in regard to the fun ture plans of the organization. The election of officers marks a change in the form of organization from that previously used; the as— sociation having been formerly governed by a committee of five. The officers elected are: A. J. Frost, ’SO—President. H. Stebbins, ’30—Vice President. G. L. Freund, ’29-mSecrctary. C. S. Jones, Til—Treasurer. The Alumni Association acts in an advisory capacity to the Armour Campus Club. Plans were discussed to place before the student body the purpose of the Club, which is to provide a place of gathering for all the students. It is felt that too many of the students have a mis— conception of the Club, thinking it to be more or less an exclusive or— ganization. It is planned to dispel this view. .,30 . sauces snearr'kurwo 13‘, or W. S. E. TALK ABOUT A we 11710117 “The present day aeroplane is safe, " was the keynote of the talk given at the W. S.

Development Reviewed Mr. Wolfe traced the develop- ment of transportation from the .crudest form to the latest attempts of Fritz Opel's propulsion by meaps of quickly expanding gases An interesting comparison was made by him of the speeds pos— sessed by man, animals, birds and the man-machine combination Paavo Nurmi established a record of fourteen and one—half miles per'1 hour over a sixty- four mile stretch} the gazelle attains a speed of sixty- four miles per hour on the sands of the Gobi desert, and the swift swallow is credited with one hun- dred thirty-four miles per hour. In reference to the man—machine combination. the late Maj. Seaw grave of G‘ 1. Britain established an automo pcd record of 231 miles per ho ,and another Eng- lishman reached a speed of 357 miles per hour in an aeroplane. ‘ Fresh Talent Needed 'Thc speaker pointed out unusual possibilities in the air transporta~ tlon field for meal engineering tal- ent.

I. E. 13., held on December 1 Donald M. Fetterman of the Senior class, gave a talk on Sub— marine Telephone and Telegraph . Cables. He described some of the problems encountered due to the high capacity of the cables and the tremendous hydrostatic pres— sures encountered on the ocean. , bottom. The system employed to counteract these effects and the contemplated trans-Atlantic tele— phone cable were thoroughly ex- plalncd. The talk on Radio Beam Trans~ mission by Morton Fagen of the Junior class proved to be intensely interesting despite the highly tech- nical nature of this topic. The his- torical background, telling of the somewhat fruitless efforts in‘the past was strikingly contrasted with the phenomenal results obtained with modern operation. With this system it has been found possible to maintain perfect communication for 24 hours daily over distances half way ’round the earth, such as from England to Australia. Transmission speeds of 100 to 300 words per minute are used by means of automatic re- ceiving and transmitting equip» ment. The high efficiency of the direc~ tlonal system is the immediate effect of concentrating the power sent out in a narrow beam directed at the receiving point.

Professor Schommer, who was in charge of the ins pec- tion trip, entertained the students on the way to the plant with his famous football stories. After arriving at the factory about two o’clock, the members of the group were shown the com— plete cycle of the manufacture. The trip was conducted by Mr. Singer, who gave a very satisfac— tory and interesting explanation of the method by which Terra Cotta is manufactured. The men were shown the process from drafting room to finished product. This company is the largest of its kind in the United States.
