Dr. W. R. Karine. under the spon-
sorship of the department of phys-
ics. is beginning research in Room
104, Physics Building on the sub-
ject of nuclear phyics. Dr, Kanne
will be assisted in this work by
John Ellison, a research assistant.
The studies are to be of a purely
scientific nature, as Dr. Kannc
pointed out that the object of such
efforts is to learn as much as pos-
sible about Nature, with the View
of possibly utilizing this knowl—
edge to control natural processes
in the future.

The main piece of equipment
consists of a Van de Graaf cloc-
trostatic generator mounted in a
high-pressure tank. The tank is
being constructed and donated by
the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co.
and the Taylor Forge and Pipe
Works. The generator is mounted
in the tank which contains air
under a pressure of about 150
pounds per sonar) inch, because
of the fact that air is a much n‘lor ~
efficient electrical insulator when
under pressure.

it is estimated that the machine
will develop a potential of ap-
proximately one and one-half mil-
lion volts. It will be used to pro-
duce a beam of positively—charged
ions of high velocity. The goal
of the experiments to he perform-
ed with this apparatus, in common
with the more Widely pubiiciacd
cyclotrons, is to produce interma-
tion regarding atomic nuclei from
the effects produced by the bone»
tration of these high-velocity ions
into the nuclei. Electrostatic gen-
erators however are used in some
experiments impossible with cy-
clotrons since the energy of the
ion beam can be controlled more
precisely, even though the magni-
tude of the energy is usually not
as great. The beams to be utilized
are those consisting of protons
and deutrons. in operation the
electrical charge is sprayed upon
a belt, moving at the rate of a
mile a minute, which carries the
charge up to the electrode.

DR. M. SCHULTZ'S
GRADUATE COURSE

This semester, the graduate di-
vision at Armour is offering a
course in the physics and chem-
istry of matter in the crystalline
state. Dr. M. L. Schultz is con-
ducting the class.

The aim of the modern theories
of the solid state is to predict the
arrangement of atoms and mole-
cules in crystals from the theories
of the structure of these atoms
and molecules. From a knowl-
edge of this arrangements, the
theories attempt to foretell the
properties of intermetallic com-
pounds of crystals. .

During the course a study will
be made of the methods used in at-
tacking the problems outlined
above and also of the results
which have been obtained. in
addition, some typical chemical re-
actions occurring between solids
will be studied.

Passing an electric current
through the head of an insane
person causes the patient to have
an epileptic flL If the shock is
severe enough it may restore the
patients mind to normal.

Mohammad Mutl‘iieh, former in-
structor in the Lewis physics dc»
partrnent, made the device for Dr.
Ncyniann, who has written many
books on the cure for insanity.
Dry cell batteries are attached to
two electrically charged discs
which are placed on each temple
oi” the diseased. This causes the
epileptic fit which, if it does not
kill, will cure the patient of gen-
eral partials.

”There‘s only one il’l‘." went over

with a hang: The lyrics are as

follows:

“We pledge our hearts. our all to
111‘.

We’ll spiced your lame and glory
wbcrc’re we be.

in all the land there’s only one

Under the sun. there’s only one.

We pledge our hearts, our all to
11'1”.

Long may your splendor shine for
all to ace

We stand and sing with fervent
loyalty

in all the land there’s only one.”

 

 

 

Every student at. Armour should
carefully check the following list
and be sure to have his picture
taken for every one of the fol-
lowing groups of which he is a
member. All students are excused
from classes to have their picture
taken.

Pictures for the yearbook will
be taken on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, February 25-27, in
the auditorium of the Student
Union.

Here we are again with, the com-
plete coverage of events occurring
at ye Art Institute.

Steinwcg got a lengthy ques-
tionnaire concerning army life.
Deciding that this called for cele-
bration, Steinwcg‘. Pointck, and
Binnie partook of cohasset punch-
es, and returned to class in high
spirits. They discovered that Rein-
lzc‘s model house was not fire-
proof, and had a ripping good
time tearing "up other peoples
thawings. That is probably what
happened to the Crit that Mics
gave to O’Brien.

battle dropped in Friday, but
couldn‘t persuade anyone to go
to the Show, everyone was having
too much fun giving each other
the hot-foot. Miobaolson alone es-
coped that tingling sensation.

Johnny ‘Wcosc discovered that
by inhaling the fumes of rubber
cement he could forget about ev-
erything and feel “Out of this
World." Illnunaford finally locked
the can of cement in his locker un-
til ‘chse came out of it.

’l‘hc start of next year will see the
banning iron: tourney play all im-
pliincnts and balls which do not

lit into the rules.

Grooves on the heads of iron
clubs may not exceed 35 thous-
andths of an inch in width, while
the lands {the flat, raised areas
between the grooves) must be at
least dire-e times the width of the
grooves. bio circular punch marks
on club races are to exceed 75
thousands of an inch in diameter
and cannot cover more than 18
per cent of the area allowable for
scoring. in order to have no effect
on the hall‘s trajectory. all punch
marks must be uniformly spaced.

From an extensive study, the
gall“ engineers found that 70 per
cent of all clubs now in use con-
form to these specifications; in
1042 the remaining 30 per cent
wilibe good only for non-tourna-
ment play and disciplining the
children.

The formerly too-broad rules
were replaced by a request of the
manufacturers.

 

Junior Formal»—

school’s social effort are going rap-
idly and have exceeded all expec-
tations. Wednesday morning is
absolutely the last time that bids
may be procured. A special. fea-
ture of the dinner dance will be
a strolling string quartet which
will serenade the guests during in-
termissions between the chain-
pagne dance music of Lawrence

Welk.

The Junior Formal committee
has expressed the desire that all
bids be completely paid for by
Wednesday morning.

 

A.S.M.E. MEMBERS
TO GO TO DEETROiT

Selection of an Armour repre-
sentative for the district competi-
tion at Detroit, April 21-27, will. be-
gin at the March 7th meeting, it
was revealed Friday at the A.S.1VI.
E. meeting. Any member of the
11.53.10.111. may submit a paper writ-
ten from the scientific aspect of
any suitable subject. It is "plan-
ned that a bus be chartered for
the trip if enough members plan
to go.

Inspection trips to local indus-
trial plans have been behind
schedule due to defense opera-
tions. Mr. Roesch has been Work-
ing on these tours and promises
some trips in the near future.

Adoption of hy-laws, for the Ar—
mour division of the A.S.M.E., was
an important part of the business
meeting. A committee was ap-
pointed last fall to formulate these
laws. It was decided that a quor-
um of 20% be present to transact
business.

Friday the A..S.M.E. is sponsor-
ing the WSE. assembly in the
auditorium of the Student Union
Everett S. Lee of the General Elec-
tric Co. Schenectady, N.Y. will be
the guest speaker. The subject of
his talk will be “Prominence of
Measurements in Industry”.

blow includes Lewis

 

 

Chemical engineering students
at the ‘l‘lewis campus will now
haVe the opportunity to achieve
scholastic distinction. This is the
eligibility, for those of high schol-
arship standing, of becoming a
member of the Omicron Chapter
of the Phi Lambda Upsilon Frat-
ernity, a national honorary chem-
ical engineering society. The
Omicron Chapter formerly of Ar-
mour College has been rechartcred
to lillinois Institute of Technology.
Before this Chapter could be re-
chartered, the National Organiza-
tion had to approve of such an
arrangement.

Students of chemical engineer-
ing or science with a high scholas-
tic standing are eligible for mem-
bership. Extra-curricular activi-
ties also play a part in the selec—
tion of members. Henry Weasel is
president; of the Chapter at 111“.
Professors oil the chemical depart/-
mom; are also eligible for honorary
chapter membership.

A joint meeting of chemical stu-
dents at; Armour and Lewis is to
be held in the Student Union on
the Armour campus on Feb. 26,
.1941. This meeting is sponsored
by the Alpha Psi Chapter of Al.
pha Chi Sigma, professional chem-
iscal society.
