0n Electron Tubes

 

“Electron Tubes in Industry” was
the subject of the talk delivered to
the members of the A. I. E. E. at
their second meeting of the semester
held last Friday at 10:30 in D Mis-
sion.

A large crowd was present to hear
Mr. Ludwigson, representative of
the General Electric Co.

He told of the use of vacuum tubes
in connection with the photoelectric-
ccll. The photo—electric cell has been
used in diverse fields, with purposes
varying from the counting of sheets
of paper to the sorting of beans.

High vacuum tubes have the dis-
advantage of being able to carry only
small currents and the power loss is
tremendous. Therefore they can
never replace rotating equipment.

A tube containing mercury vapor
operates at a small loss in energy,
and will carry up to 200 amperes.
Such a tube is commercially called a
thyratron. They are triodes used in
pairs for current rectification. It
also is important in regulating the
speed of motors, dimming of lights,
and in operating spot welding ma—
- chines.

Interest has been aroused in school
circles during the past few weeks by
the demand for some distinguishing
feature for freshmen. The idea is
gaining impetus and promises to
sweep the school.

The entire upper classes are being
canvassed and results up to the pres-
ent indicate that all are in favor of
some type of bat for freshmen.

The idea has spread with such
velocity and fervor that the newspa-
pers have taken it up and also indi-
cates that the public is interested in
the novelty of the experiment.

The Evening American photog-
rapher rushed over to school last
Thursday to take pictures of the new—-
1y decorated freshmen but, unfortun-
ately, was disappointed.

A large hat concern has offered to
make any hat design at a low price
if a sufficient number are ordered.

in order to coordinate the efforts
of the upper classmen, the three class
presidents met and a committee was
chosen. W. H. Rudolf appointed J.
R. Jackson Jr. to represent the
Senior class. The Junior and Sopho-
more presidents are representatives
of their classes. The three men are:

J. R. Jackson Jr.—.—Senior

J. R. Fernbach—Junior

J . L. Lynch~—Sophomore.

Each man will choose two members
from his class.

The committee will invite J . J.
Ahcrn to future committee meetings
in order to bring out the ideas of
the freshmen. The committee hopes
that many suggestions will be forth-
coming from the students.

John J. Ahern proved to be the
outstanding presidential choice of
the freshman class at the election
held last Wednesday in Science Hail.
He received 110 votes, which de<
foated Robert V. Smith and Stuart
Jacobson, who received 36 and 20
votes respectively.

Because of the large number of
candidates, and the political factions
into which the freshman class was
divided, a very close contest was an-
ticipated. lontrary to expectations,
the oilicers received a. large majority
of votes over their competitors.

Flanagan Vice—President

The most closely contested office
was that of vice-president. Although
each of the three candidates were
well known in class affairs, Edward
Flanagan was elected with 75 votes.
Gustav Collatz and Joseph Stehno
each received 44 votes.

Bernard Abrams is the secretary,
Arthur Skjordahl the treasurer, and
Ray Albans the sergeant-at-ams.
Each of these offices was uncontested,
as there was only one candidate for
each of the respective offices.

“Illeaton Is Social Chairman

The social chairman of the class is
George Wheaten. ‘He won by a great
margin, receiving a total of 103
votes against 58 for Howard J. Zib‘ble.

which elected him Armour Athletic
Association representative of the
freshman class. Stanley Bernstein,
his opponent, received 49 votes.

As several of the officers have
seen service in high school at these
same positions, the affairs of the
close should be taken care of very ef-
ficiently.

The entire election and counting of
ballots was conducted by a special.
committee appointed by the chairman
of the petition committee.
