Stabilizing food technology is; the intention of the course. The course is a combination of bactera iology, chemistry, and engineer- ing. Many chemists, graduating from school and securing jobs con- corning food testing, have been confronted with many problems; concerning processing, spoilage, and bacteriology. This course en» ables the student entering this field to secure very practical knowledge that otherwise would have to be learned by experience. Business; Mon Tracheal; It has been the ambition of a lot of men to draw industry and the academic field closer cogcther. This can be accomplished by hav- ing men in businces teach or at tend claeees. This coume is an excellent example of this idea. The couree is to he taught by Dr. E, Harvey who has had much practi~ cal experience in this line. Food Technology University of Maryland has at four year course in food technolo- gy, and Massachusetts lnetitute of Technology has a similar course. Although only three seem esters, a concentrated course is being oifered, it ie hoped that in» stallation, if it is received Well, of a four hour course, Such a coumc would be a great aid to the food industries of Chicago eepecially those engaged in meat packing. Helenee 'l‘raluiug Program Brings Six New floureec lllinois Institute of Techno- logy’s recently formed Engineer ing Defense Training program has added many new courses to its curriculum. More tool design and elementary design courses will be given, and there will be a number of sections of strength of mater» leis, with laboratory work, given in addition to the regular classes. A new class in welding engineer- ing and a general course in diesel engine theory, will he offered. in the South Chicago area there will be several classes devoted to the important subjects of time and motion study, and general metal- lurgy. One more course in metal lurgy will be included at Lewis Institute. New Subjects New subjects, never taught be- fore in the training program, will be introduced. They are courses in plastics, electronics, elementary electrical engineering, elementary steam power plants, elementary chemical engineering, and explo- sives. A course in advanced test- ing methods will probably be in- cluded.

Because of the requirements of industry for very accurate meas- urements, many dilierent methods are being employed.

Hie undergraduate education in the field of Electrical Engineering was carried on at the University of Illinois, and his graduate work at Union College. This program is unique in the manner of its arrangement. One of the purposes of the W. S. E. is to secure better cooperation be~ tween departmental engineering societies. The A. S. M. 111., know. ing that a talk on this Subject would be of general interest and value, made the necessary or— rangements, and the W. S.

Several amendments to the club’s consti- tution will be considered at this time, including the reduction of dues and the admieeion of grad- uate students. Previously, the constitution of club had specifically barred grad- uate students from membership. After this Friday, they will find the doors of the darkrooms open to them.

The slide—rule and the stop-watch have been called in to aid the nibn lick by the United States Golf A8- soclution which has the support of every golf club in these g<)lf~play- ing United States. Dr. Carl, G. An- derson is supervising thlo investi- gation of the tools of St. Andrew's, old Scottish sport. Machinery hue replaced humans in almost every other field, and the foundation’s hook and slice scouts: have carried this to the ex- treme of replacing the golfer. A robot has; been built to drive a ball with the velocity given it by the average golfer. Sixty balls an hour, according to Dr. Anderson may be tested by the device. .llllcctmu'ic lltlmwutch “mod Whirling with a translated lin— ear velocity of 145 feet per second, a hammer swam the ball under ob— servation. Determination, 01’ the re- sultant impact velocity is then measured by having the ball. break two successive beams of light, ac~ tuuting photoelectric cello. Inter- ecctlon of the first beam switches on current to a ballistic galvan omctcr; when the second beam is; cut, the electricity is shut oil. De- flection of the galvanometer thus offers an index of the time requlr ed for the ball to travel a constant distance. Professor Donald E.

Stand~ ardization of results is their ob. ject and, by the use of the iron golfer, materials and specifications are being set up to make perform . ance of balls and clubs; consistent.
