.' g i.'s note servicemen thank alma mater for news deep in the steaming jungle is lands of the south pacific or in the oozing mud-bogs of central europe a weary g i relaxes for a few minutes with a lehigh alumni news letter and is carried back to happier days at his alma ma ter this news letter is the only link between lehigh men in ser vice and the activities on the cam pus they were forced to leave today more than 3400 copies of the news letter are sent to lehigh men in all corners of the globe al though when first started in 1942 by messrs shick and herrick it had a circulation of only 300 the letter comes out bi-weekly and contains all the important cam pus news interesting bits sent in by servicemen and pictures of the campus for which requests are constantly being made more than a dozen letters a day come into the alumni office thanking the editors for keeping the spirit of lehigh alive within them one of the most interesting stories to come out of the news letter was about lieutenant j.g charles edwards class of 41 who while flying a mission in the south pacific thought he recognized a familiar voice over the intercom system he identified himself with the password lehigh men make lehigh and learned that he was correct the man at the other end was lieutenant joe riley 41 a classrrfate whom he had not seen since both graduated from lehigh packard site of new lab professor erdoss of the m e department has announced offi cially the opening of the schlieren laboratory in packard lab the primary object of the lab is to make flowing air visible the idea started when profes sor stewart in 1937 on sabbatical leave worked with the westing house company on a method of making air visible upon returning to lehigh he suggested a lab for this purpose and met with favor the navy was interested in air flow at the time for restricted rea sons and offered to pay for the building of the laboratory the m e department decided to take the contract and build the lab in an attic room of packard the investigations were completed in 1943 after which the navy with drew leaving the laboratory un der the supervision of professor erdoss in its one and a half years of ex istence the lab has acquired a number of very complex optical instruments and a twio dimensional and a three dimensional air vent most of this was paid for by the navy and funds are now being provided by outsiders who are working in the lab lehigh is fortunate to be one of the few schools in this country to have a laboratory of this kind it is also a very definite credit to the department to be able to use these modern flow methods 1 in analysis mereersburg wins wrestling meet winners garner 30 points and three titles gilman finishes second and brooklyn poly third lehigh played host to the
