DURING THE LAST week, world
wide interest has shifted from the
conflict in the far east to the strug—
gle now going on in Central Europe,
where the Austrian crisis is rapidly
assuming large proportions. In the
four weeks since the German army
and cabinet fracas, Adolph Hitler
has shown increasing intentions of
actually starting the nazi penetra~
tion with which he has so long
threatened the surrounding countries
of central Europe.

The first step in this direction was
a systematic concentration of pres-
sure on Austria’s dictator, Dr. Kurt
Schuschnig‘g. No results were forth-
coming and for a while it looked as
if Hitler had met with a snag. Last
Wednesday, however, Dr. Schusch-
nigg, faced with Hitler’s ultimatum
that he either make certain conces-
sions to the Reich or face German
military invasion, suddenly yielded to
Hitler’s wishes and included in his
new cabinet eight nazi members. Such
action is bound to have far reach-
ing eli‘ects. Of the eight new mem-
bers, one—the Minister of the ins
terior and Public Securityw‘holds a
key position. He represents the first
real step toward ”Nazification" of
Austria.

IT IS KNOWN definitely that Hit-
ler warned Dr. Schuschnigg that both
England and France were in no po-
sition to oppose him—-—an(l that unless
he, Schuschnigg, would see that
Austria fell into line with German
foreign policy—drastic steps (inva-
sion) would be taken immediately.
To back up this statement the Ger-
man motorized corps moved to the
Austrian frontier last Tuesday and
a large section of the army was con-
centrated along the Austria—Germany
boundary line.

Under such pressure Dr. Schusch—
nigg had to bend—even though he de-
fied the ruler of Germany up to the
last minute. The full effects of this
move have yet to he seen—but one
thing is certain. Hitler’s bargaining
power has been greatly enhanced and
it is now so largo that only far-
reaching concessions will be accepted
by him for his cooperation in any
matter whatever. Hitler is now i
an excellent position to stress his

Public M'othematical
Exhihits Maintained
at Adler Planetarium

For the past few months the forc~
most mathematical organizations of
Chicago have maintained a continual
exhibit for public inspection on the
ground floor of the Adler Plan»
etarium. The purpose of the exhibit,
as formulated at a meeting of the
National Council of Teachers in
February, 1936, is to assist in educut‘

 

 

 

colonial demands—his weapon is,
heavy and he has learned to wield1
it effectively.

THERE IS ANOTIHER twist in
this situation which merits some at—
tention. Mussolini is no longer as-
sured of the protection of a weak
bufl‘er state and now finds himself in
the peculiar position of putting his
0. K. on the move which Austria’s
dictator took—~even though he has
been opposed to it for the longest
time. It would seem then that Mus-
solini and Italy are now beginning
to pay for the support which in the
past they have so freely given to
Germany. Thus Mussolini is in the
embarrassing position of being in the
shadow of a greater man than he is—
and say what he will—he doesn’t like
it; better yet, he can do nothing about
it, because he is in it too far to do
much hacking out. The Berlin-Rome
axis may yet make him dizzy—for
one half of it is beginning to pick up
momentum at a rate which can only
spell destruction.

Krathwohl Represents Armour

The exhibition space was donated
by the Planetarium, finances were pro~
vided by the Women‘s and the Men’s
Mathematical Clubs of Chicago. The
committee in charge of the exhibit
includes as an important member,
Professor W. C. Krathwohl, of Ar-
mour Tech‘s mathematics staff, as
well as representatives from various
Chicago High Schools.

The object of this mathematics ex-
hibit is to arouse adult, as well as stu-
dent interest, in the utility and ap-
plicability of mathematics in a way
that will create a liking for the sub“
ject. Exhibits actually designed and
constructed by students will help to
accomplish this end. Labeling of the
exhibits with the names of the mak-
ers provides an incentive to creative
work, as well as preserving interest
in the exhibits.

Each exhibit is built around some
central idea chosen to attract atten-
tion and arouse the curiosity of the
public.

Plan Future Exhibits

According to Dr. Krathwohl, it is
quite possible that “Math” has lost
some of its popularity because
mathematicians are inclined to take
themselves so seriously. If people
can be shown that there is as much
real joy, fun, and humor in mathe-
matics as in some of the lighter sub-
jects, they might not be so frightened
when they see the word.

Some of the themes for future ex~
hibits which it is hoped will arouse
curiosity and interest are:

1. How Parisxan gowns

2. How angles are trisected.

3. How stout people look thin by

ARMOUR

Senior flhemicals Tour

Moulding Products Co.

Continuing their weekly inspection
trips, the senior chemicals traveled
to 2145 “7. Walnut St. this week,
where they were guests of the Chiv
cago Molded Products Company, pmv
ducers of plastic products. The stu—
dents were welcomed by Mr. Edward
F. Bachner, general manager of the
plant, and were first conducted to the
machine shop where the art of mold
making was explained. Considerable
thought, care, and skill is required to
conceive, design, and fabricate a
mold which will do the required job
well and economically.

Leaving the machine shops, the vis-
itors witnessed molding operations of
which there were a large variety,
ranging from smaller molds produc-
ing buta single article to large molds
with dozens of cavities producing
thousands of pressed pieces per day.

Returning to the general offices,
the students were informed that the
three chief materials used in plastic
molding are phonol‘formaldehyde,
urea-formaldehyde, and cellulose
acetate.

South Side Downed
Again hifljrich, did-:31

Wilson was an easy victim of the
Armour Tankmen a week ago yester—
day when the latter swamped the
South Side team with a 44-31 deluge.
The Techmon had previously won a
meet hold at South Side, 38—37.

Armour placed first or second in
every event except the diving, where
Pettes came in third. Dodge came
in first in both the 220 yard and the
100 yard free styles, in the latter
event, Dodge coming in to win by an
underwater touch, that surprised
Feeley of Wilson.

Many of the events were surprising
ly close, while in the 40 yard free
style, Anderson of Tech was award»
ed first after a judges’ conference.

The Armour men showed great team L

strength, and have hopes 01’ scoring
some points against Wright Thurs»
d

y.

On Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m.,
the Armour swimmers will attempt to
avenge their first defeat of the, year
dealt at the hands of Wright Junior
College.

Having triumphed over South Side
by a pleasing margin, the Tech mer-
mcn are anxious for the return meet.

wo short shots squeezed in from

Armour rally. After Detroit’s time
out, Scherer continued the Tech
spree with a long quick shot placing
the chhawks 31-33, only two points
behind the Detroit Titans.

In the last two minutes of play,
however, Armour could muster only
two charity tosses, dropped by Hof»
mann and Norkus, while the Titans
froze the ball and worked in three
more deciding baskets.
