Also, the method of choosing the type and size of ma. chine to produce the most desir. able results in various fields, will be discussed. it is hoped that the atomvsmasb— er, important particularly in the science of physics, will disclose facts which will aid in checking against the theoretical ideas con- cerning the nucleus of an atom. in fields other than physics, the instrument has proven successful (continued on page two) Glycine, Get i’oor Gilliam dials; Farley Wot lfio fie Volatile Tickets for the Turkey Trot, the Dance club’s social opener, were placed on sale last Wednesday at the regular meeting of the club. Open to the entire school, the “Trot" is to be the club’s roost elaborate affair to date. Coming the night before the start of the Thanksgiving holiday as it does, all students who attend will have the luxury of knowing that their evening of fun is in no way im- pairing their studies. Evening of linrprises While the final selection oi the orchestra has yet to be made, officers of the club have carefully worked all the other details and promise a gay evening of dancing and fun, enlivened by several very special events which they are keeping secret. Herman Tachau, president of the Dance club, announced him. self as being very pleased with the ticket sales to date and stated that anyone desiring tickets could purchase them in the Registrar’s office, the book store or from any of the club members. Following the Dance club’s policy of keep- ing everything at cost and using part of its own funds to defray costs, tickets for the affair are only 35 cents per couple. No stage will be allowed. Dancing will be gin at 8:30 and will continue until the dancers decide that it’s time to head for home territory. Constituting quite a sales force are the club’s members.

Aiding the stall were a number of girls from the Lewis campus. who act- ed as attractive and willing part- ners to the boys in the various Classes. Special improvement this week will be the fact that the group of Lewis girls will be aided and abetted by student nurses from St. Luke’s hospital. Special cars will be sent to the hospital to pick up the girls and, after the meet- ing to get them home. Also, an effort will be made to hold each of the three classes, beginners, in termediate and advanced in sepa- rate rooms.
