Tired of seeing the typical leg-flying of modern musical pictures, the girls walked into the lobby of Greenville’s best theatre, sat down and declared they wouldn’t move until they were permitted to see Deanna Durbin, the 14-year-old songbird. Snapping up the chance to get lively publicity, the manager got the coeds comfortable chairs and set up signs explaining that the girls were sitting there until they saw a Deanna Durbin picture, put them on the payroll and moved up the playingr date for “Three Smart Girls" to the next week-end. Hopes of becoming wealthy over night prompt people to send samples of well-water, rocks and metals to the University of Minnesota’s geology department for analysis. An envel- ope received not long ago by Dr. George A. Thiel, associate professor of geology, contained a piece of metal and this letter: “I found this in the gizzard of the goose I was cleaning. 15 the yellow material gold?” The “yellow material" turned out to be a piece of ordinary brass. Another person hoping for fabulous wealth wrote this letter to the geology department: “1 dreamed that there was gold in a. gully near Dayton. I went there and looked and found a nugget. Do you think there is more gold there?” The fellow got a snappy answer in . two words: “Dream again!" Research (Continued from page one) Future work includes an extensively planned program for studying the radiation of visible and ultra violet portions of the spectrum. The X»ray laboratory has been de— signed and constructed in the Re— search Foundation shops. Dr. Ziegler is the director of this laboratory. Work in immediate prospect includes the investigation by X-ray of oil films of microscopic thickness. A por- tion of the studies are carried on in a dark room which was built spe- cially for X-ray and spectroscopic work. Laboratory Designed by Dr. Poullar Designed by Dr. Poulter and cone structed under his immediate super- vision, the high pressure laboratory is one of the most interesting in the Foundation. The equipment has alu ,ready been used to develop pressures as high as 600,000 pounds per square inch. This pressure is the same as that which would be developed under a 62% mile high hill of limestone. Numerous investigations of important changes in states of solids and liquids while under the influence of tremen- dous pressure have been made by Dr. Poulter. Some notable work has also been done in noting the influence of high pressure on optical properties. Heat Lab Under Construction By removing an entire floor to pro- vide for a room of double height, adequate space has been made avail- able for a special laboratory for fil- tration problems. Dr. Olaf A. l—Iougen will conduct this research project. A new heat transfer laboratory to be headed by Dr. Max Jakob is one of the projects now under development.

Wednesday evening, Maxwell Anderson’s telepathic crea— tive soul ebortled ecstatically, for the Armour players, in a transcendental rendition of his prize winning con- temporary tragedy, “Winterset,” did full justice to a. difficult theme and held a capacity audience transfixed from first curtain to last. The play- ers‘ previous presentations under their capable director, Walter Ful- ghum, “Waiting for Lefty,” and “Quarry," although acted with an equal degree of skill, have been han— dicapped by virtue of being: given in Mission, which, although crawling with tradition, has rather feeble acoustics. MacConnell and Urso Supreme Particularly to be commended for their brilliant interpretations of difi- cult roles are Monte MacConnell, who played Mio, and Katherine Urso, play~ ing Miriamne. Mia’s part demanded a precise delineation and sympathetic understanding of the character. His speeches at intervals flow impercept- ibly into the flowing cadence of free verse and this, unless declaimed in a manner requiring practice and talent, was quite capable of inducing acute boredom. It is to the actor’s credit that the bush in the audience was never broken save fur the response to the character’s ironically humor- ous remarks. The feminine lead, Miss Ursa, who, in her own words, regards the Armour Players as “My favorite players’ group," brought to the char. actor of the gentle Miriamnc an up— pcaling poignancy that enhanced her personification in a part that seemed to have been written for her. It is to he hoped that the players will be able to secure her services for fur- ther productions. Bernard Sternfeld portrayed the gangster Trock, clinging desparately to his last six months and hesitating at nothing,r in order to assure his liv- ing them. Sternfeld, although mak— ing relatively few appearances, made an exceptional impression as the vicious, snarling killer. His reaction when his night's handiwork, the bul- let shattercd and dripping gunman, “Shadow” (William Miller), stag- gered through the tenement door, was classic in its simple emphasis. The audience’s reaction to that spectac- ular entrance was summed up pre- cisely, neatly, and with dispatch in the small feminine gasps of “Oh my!!" Supporting Actors Good The principals could be no better than the supporting players and the supporting players acted their parts with sufficient restraint to direct at. tention to the primary characters rather than divide it. Mia's friend, Carr (Al N. Schreiber), typified the delicate balance necessary to direct attention without overbearing, and to lighten the drama without becoming farcical. Judge Gaunt (Richard Weissman) portrayed a convincing Judge in a manner that was in its particular manner equal to the gen— eral standard of excellence. Esdras, .father of Miriamne, was well pop trayed by Sidney Miner. Herman Ross interpreted the role of Garth with skill and feeling. The players were fortunate all the @pcn House --« (Continued from page one) undertaken by the senior students will contribute largely to the exhibits. They will include a bubble cap free» tionating celumn, an industrial filter used to purify crank case oil, a ver- tical condenser which is used in the condensing of organic vapors, the manufacturing of sponge rubber and the use of a low frequency rotary in» duction furnace. Junior Chemicals Exhibit The junior students will conduct work in two chemical laboratories. In the chemical engineering laboru‘ tory there will be experiments con— nected with electrometric measure— ments, single electrode potentials, conu ductivity measurements and a series of micro, vacuum, liquid, and gas dis- tillation experiments. The sophomore organic laboratory will feature some of the latest devel- opments in chemical research as well as demonstrations of regular organic chemistry processes. As a. part of the program, organic chemistry students will be engaged in the actual prepara- tion of several interesting dyes and drugs, including the familiar sodium acctylsalicylate, the common aspirin. Prepare Phenolphthalein They will also prepare the drug and chemical indicator known as phenol~ phthalein, which is colorless in water solution, but turns to a pink in the presence of alkalies. Engenol, a sweet-smelling oil which can be ex» tic-acted from clover, will be in the process of preparation by the stuA dents, while a collection of more than sixty other oils and aromatic com- pounds, some of which are prepared in a similar manner, will be dis- played. A.number of exhibits dealing with the qualitative analysis of unknown liquids and solids and others illu.- trating the fundamental laws of chemistry will be shown in the fresh— man laboratory. lnteresting Physics Show Experiments illustrating applican tions of the laws and theories of physics will be performed in the physics laboratories. Included among the demonstrations wll be experi- ments showing radium extraction, smoke precipitation by electrostatics and standing waves, gyroscopic ac- tions, liquid air phenomena, photo— electric effects, stroboscopic motion, Bernoulli’s principle, thermoelectric phenomena, and the use of the static electricity machine. The electronics laboratory on the second floor will present experiments exhibiting the more advanced study of physics. Several of these are the Roentgen ray (x—ray) machine and the high frequency discharge in vacuo and high efficiency mercury arcs, The civil engineering department will feature exhibits and student de- monstrations illustrating the applica- tions of this type of engineering. Treatments connected with the puri- fication of water will be carried on in the water treatment laboratory while the soil mechanics laboratory will feature interesting tests. Demonstrate Water Filtration Also included in the civil engineer- ing display will be the exhibiting of photoelectric apparatus, surveying equipment, student drawings and works, bridge models, a map collec- tion, and a Begg’s dcformator gage in operation Movies of the summer camp activities will also be shown. Fire Equipment Displayed Exhibits consisting of the various types of modern-day J’ire extinguish ers, automatic sprinkler equipment and models of typical buildings in- yolved in fire insurance inspection work will be included in the display presented by the fire protection en- gineering department. The equipment on display has been loaned to the dc» partment by the country's leading manufacturers of fire protection equipment. Math flroup Elbows interesting Exhibit. Students, faculty, and industry combine forces to produce the mathe- matics department exhibit at Ar- mour’s open house. Models, charts, drawings and calculating machines feature the exhibit being held in the library. Two students are among the con- tributors. John Catlin, a freshman, will show two beautifully constructed stainless metal models of conic sec’ tions. F. G. Schrot, also of the class of ‘40, will display a group of draw- ings showing an application of ma- \thematics to the drawing room. They are designs developed from projec- tions of mathematical figures. The Merchant Company has agreed to show a calculating machine. These machines are almost human in the variety of work which can be done with them, yet super-human in their accuracy. , The bulk of the exhibit consists of charts and models which have been constructed by Professor W. A. Spen- cer after many years study and ex-- periment with materials and corn struction. The charts cover all the principal fields of mathematics start~ ing: with algebra, continuing through ltrigonometry, analytical geometry, and including the calculus. The models chiefly deal with prob- lems in analytics, and also touch upon calculus. These models have a nation» wide fame and were recently shown at the American Mathematical So» ciety Convention in Chicago. Monday. May l0, W3? way through in their finds for the ° 0 women’s roles.
