ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tuesday, April 27, 1937 A. M. Zarcm KEEP CHICAGO AHEAD— A more hypocritical slogan could not have been adopted by our city fathers if they had actually set out to do so. At our last gubernatorial election the Democratic machine in Chicago set out to “beat Governor Horner." During the ensuing fight, Chicagoans were given a chance to observe what politics gone bad can do. ACTS OF VIOLENCE, such as slugging, bombing, and the like were committed openly. Ballot boxes were stufied without reservation. Innocent voters were threatened in various ways and the casualty list was long in spite of the fact that Governor Horner ordered the state police into the city to insure a fair vote. All of the tactics of the underworld were brought into play while public inter— est mounted to a feverish pitch. Here it seems was the acme of present outrages. Motivated by an interplay of political forces plus the desire to damn such tactics, the people of Chicago voiced their disap- proval. Within a month after Gov- ernor Homer’s reelection, the whole matter quieted down. Slowly but surely the newspapers “turned their guns" and before long the whole thing had died. How easy it is to for~ get! YES, CHICAGO FORGOT, but to- day, even as before, Patrick Nash pushes a button, Mr. Kelly snaps a whip, and the marioncttes (represen— tatives of the people, if you will) in the state‘capitol do as they are in— structed. The efficiency of this little combination ‘ has~ been dramatically depicted for us many times. Their latest playlette started some three weeks ago and is still running. Despite the will of the people of Chicago, as represented by the pres- ence of various civic groups, house committee on municipalities has been delaying hearing on five city manager plans. Sessions of this coma mittcc have been postponed time and again—for the most trivial reasons. Excuses are made by the dozen, yet nothing is done to alleviate the con- ditions which exist. JUST HOW LONG is Chicago 30' log: to let itself be robbed of its prestige from within? How long will polit' s, flourishing under a system that is rotten all the way to the core, be allowed to dominate and regulate the lives of some three and a half million people? Who is responsible for these conditions? You get no answers under our present form of city government. There is too much “passing- of the buck.” With aJcity manager there could be no such “passing the buck." Re- sponsibility is definitely fixed. If somethingzgoes wrong with, for in- stance, th garbage disposal (as it did recently) the public will know where to 15:0 for an answer to the question: Why? Under Mr. Kelly, the public is told where to go for an answer. ‘ all ICAL MESS is so en- snared th “la city manager system cannot straighten it out. We have only to lodk at the city of Cincinnati, which is the'vaSt notable example, to see the obiv us advantages of a city manager plan. NO P0 Campus Club to Have Advisers! Committee -. ProfessorsFulghum, Harris, and Oldenburger will soon become honor- ary members of he Campus Club and act as an «ad iéol'yteommittee with Professor Maré'old as chairman. The Campus Club is an organiza- tion whose principle aim is promo- tion of interedt in extra—cu activities. W. Waite is the of the organization. The only bership requisite is good all around congeniality. The Club does not compete for members against the fraternities, as is a general impres— sion; fraternity men are actually in— cluded in its membership. A stand- ing invitation is always extended to all students to come up to theclub in Chapin Hall and get acqua ‘ted at any time. ' l ' ' the - (Continued from page (me) which was the glorification of it. Thus the fourth basic idea was the axiomistic principal. In the nineteenth century further application of this axiomistic sys- tem brought about the developments of heat, light, and electricity. The fifth basis of physics was therefore a unification of physics through axi~ omistic principals. The statistical conception of physics worked out by Willard Gibbs showed the manner in which phe- nomena may be investigated on a statistical basis and constituted the sixth of Dr. Haas" ten ideas and the last contributed before the twentieth century. The modern philosophical ideas were worked out by Einstein, Planck, Haas, Heisenberg, Bohr, Rutherford, and others. Max Planck originated the quantum theory, which explains that energy occurs in positive in- tegral multiples of a fundamental unit. Einstein on the other hand originated the theory of relativity (all statements of time and space are only of relative significance.) It was at this time that Newton’s discarded corpuscular theory of light was revived and given fresh impcfus from work on the photon~electron effect. However, the undulatory or wave theory of light was so well es— tablished that it couldn't be com-- pletely disowned. This led to a cor— relation of both in wave mechanics. One of Dr. Haas’ most important works came from the working out of a structure of atoms from quan- turns. N. U. Hears Potter on ‘Contact Potentials’ A system for measuring the con- tact potential between metallic sur- faces was described by Mr. J. G. Potter of the Armour faculty in a talk before a teacher’s group at Northwestern University last Thurs- day evening. The text of the dis» cussion was based on experiments made by Mr. Potter and by Mr. A. T. Waterman of Yale University. Use High Vacuum Tube The method devised ‘by the au- thors was for measuring the spon- taneously arising voltages between unlike metals. The size of the volt- age developed depends entirely on the conditions between the surfaces and is always the same with the same conditions. The measurements are made while the sulfaccs are in a large pyrex glass tube evacuated to almost complete vacuum. Essentially Kclvin’s Plan The plan of measurement is es- sentially the same as that used by Lord Kelvin in 1898, but the met- als used in the present undertak- ing are in the form of line wires which are heated electrically almost to their melting- points in order to clean them. In the present work Kclvin's electrometer is replaced by a radio set amplifier, while the small electrical capacity between the wires under investigation is made to vary rapidly by setting one of the wires into vibration. This is accomplished by passing a small alternating cur- rent through it in the presence of a magnet supported outside the glass Senior Civils Trounce Sarah Firemen, 26-3 The senior civils trounced the sophomore fire protects Thursday last by the terrific score of 26 to 3. The sun was shining brightly and it was a lovely day for a ball game. but what a ball game was played. The sophomores kicked, fum- bled and tossed the ball all over both the infield and outfield, with no diserimination. 0n the other hand the seniors played heads-up ball. Ikenn load off with a double for the civils, followed by a walk, while an error at third loaded the bags. Machulis stepped up to the plate and laced one to right, cleaning the bags with a homer. By a series of startling coincidents the next three men were retired. The fire protects. took their first bats in cuts, one, two, three. The civils loaded the bases again in, the second only to unload them when a pop fly was dropped out in the garden. This satisfied their run-gathering uppe- tite for this inning. The payoff came in the ninth. Clean hits with bases on errors and a dash of luck was mixed by the civils into a lovely cake of eleven runs, while the sophomores were held scoreless. Junior Mocha Trim Sophomores Sluggine fiercely the junior mcx emerged Victoriously ii to 5 in their first softball encounter of the sea» son against the soph M. E.‘s.

Abe Hoffman was the losing pitcher. The highlight of the contest was Simeon’s long“ homer over the left field fence. The juniors pulled them- selves out of several tight spots. At one time the bases were loaded with no outs, but they pulled them- selves out of the hole without ad- mitting any runs. The upper~class~ ment scored six of their runs in the first inning. Junior Firemen Hold Civils, 3-2 Taking,r a one run lead in the fourth inning, the junior fire pro- tects marched to a 3.2 victory over- the sophomore civils last Tuesday- afternoon, in a nine inning opening game.

The fire protects, however, imme- diately retaliated when Parker sent a long one out to center and Beard— sley lined one through short to drive him in. In the fourth, Downing took lthe only homer of the game with a long liner against the fence. Dun- bar drove one out to get on base, and Lange connected, driving Dun— bar in for their third score. men, the Civils held their opponents- @ldepburgerto Show 'Picrnres‘ or Nut-way Addressing students and faculty at Notre Dame University, Professor Rufus Oldenburger will lecture next Friday evening on the subject, “The International Mathematical Congress Last Summer.” He will remain as a guest of the University for the week— end. Dr. Oldenburger was a delegate to the International Matheinutic Con- gress held at. Oslo, Norway, during July, 1936, representing Armour In- stitute. He will show slides of the palace where the mathematicians were guests of King Haakon of Nor- way, the University building's where the Congress convened, sessions of the delegates, and famous mathe- maticians who attended the Congress. These slides will also be shown by Dr. Oldenburger at the meetings of the American Mathematical Associa- tion which is to be held at De Kalb, Illinois, on May 14, and later at the Men’s Mathematical Club of Chicago. On Saturday, April 31, he will lec- ture at Notre Dame on “Higher Di— mensional Determinants." Dr. Olden- burger is a world-wide authority on this phase of mathematics and is like» wise noted for his research in algebra in general. 3035 Wentworth Ave. flu “PURE FOOD FOOD.
