              radiography by the shorter gam ma rays which were known to be of the same general nature as x rays said professor doan after several successful experi ments it was discovered that gam ma rays were much more effective in testing metals of great thickness than x-rays and required a much shorter time for the process since gamma rays are relatively insen sible to varying thicknesses of ob jects they can be used to test ob jects that are thick in some parts and thin in others moreover gam ma rays do not fog the film as much as x-rays do because their scattering power is less the advantages of the gamma ray method of testing steel over the x-ray method the speaker added are that no machinery ex cept a capsule is needed anyone can operate it finally the tiny capsule can be carried anywhere down in a submarine up to the tow er of a sky-scraper or to the north pole if necessary purpose of business honorary is told at exercises what is the purpose of alpha kappa psi was

group representatives downtown students will be ad mitted to the dormitory dance in drown hall houseparty week-end if they contribute a fair amount to the payment of expenses j.a gilmore a member of the dormitory dance committee stated yesterday this statement comes as the re sult of a request from c r hock er newly elected arcadia repre sentative from downtown group number five who met the commit tee members last friday to arrange for the participation of downtown students in the dance hocker says there seems to be no reason why those students who want to attend the dance should be kept away it will only mean the need of more money for financing the affair if they are admitted the original intention of the dormitory dance committee was to hold a closed affair since downtown men have shown little interest in the lehigh union dances of pre vious years now however gil more announces that if enough men turn 50 cents over to their group representatives before wednesday nov 8 the dance will be open must have money we must have the money gil more explained because without the assurance of a certain amount to pay for increased expenses we can hardly expect to receive the dean's approval of the project the quality of the orchestra and the decorations and the amount of the refreshments depends on how much money the downtown men will contribute he says those off-the-campus students who intend to participate in the dance are to turn 50 cents over to their group representatives before wednesday hocker states the price admits couples or stags downtown representatives are p

allentown group 7 groups 2 and 3 have as yet held no elections it was disclosed by c l grier chairman of the arcadia booster committee how modern engineering makes use of invisible rays was related last evening by gilbert e doan associate professor of metallurgy in packard auditorium the subject of professor doan's lecture was invisible rays in modern engineering it was the first of a series of six lectures to be given by members of the faculty during the course of the school year using slides to illustrate the lec ture professor doan discussed the nature of the electro-magnetic spectrum or wave family giving its properties and common uses in this wave family he included long elec tric waves radio waves heat waves infra-red rays visible rays ultra-violet light x-rays gamma rays and cosmic rays the uses of long electric waves professor doan explained are found in the steel industry where they are used in high frequency in duction furnaces for melting steel and in the discovery of ore beds from the surface of regions expect ed to have deposits radio guides aviators radio waves the speaker showed are instrumental in guiding aviators who are flying blind heat waves bring about artificial fever in the human body that tends to cure dis eases such as asthma arthritis or paresis infra-red rays are em ployed in long-distance photography and other instances requiring a beam able to photograph under conditions of poor visibility or to tal darkness visible rays play the important part in the photo-electric cell used for theatre dimming traffic control and safety devices ultra-violet lights assist in microscopy and the detection of forgeries x-rays are an important aid to medicine in the discovery and treatment of internal injuries and diseases they are also used to hasten the maturing of plants in industry x-rays are used in detecting flaws in solid manufactured articles stated pro fessor doan gamma rays also have a share in the testing of metals as profes sor doan discovered from work done in the naval institute of re search since x-rays penetrate with dif ficulty steel objects more than four inches thick and the x-ray testing process was prohibitive both in cost and time it was decided to try photo-elastic device is being assembled lust for victory corrupts college football says director a t rutgers declaring that college football has become corrupt because of the alumni greed for victory nelson a kellogg director of athletics in an address given saturday night at rutgers university argued that col leges should confine their athletic meets to opponents in their own class we have come a long way since the beginning of intercollegiate sport he said evils have crept in because alumni the public and sometimes the students want to see the team in which they are inter ested win more than its share of games briefly he traced the history of intercollegiate athletics pointing out the improvements made in rules regulations equipment and the at titude of the players and specta tors praising intramural athletics colonel kellogg concluded the university fails in its duty to the student body if it does not offer an opportunity to every student to participate to the limie of his abil ity in the sport in which he is most interested radio club assists at electrical show six initiated to club last year's profit shows gain of 246.78 over

engineering i m lyse research associate pro fessor of civil engineering is su pervising the work this apparatus which is made in germany by the winkel-zeiss com pany and costs approximately 600 is used to determine the stress on certain materials models of the materials are made out of transpar ent celluloid and bakelite they are then projected on to a plate by means of a strong light which passes through the celluloid and through a series of lenses and prisms the stress is calculated from the intensity of the color pat erns which are shown on the plate a movable frame is being built so that the various models may be studied vertically and horizontally without moving the machine the apparatus will be completely assembled in several weeks pro fessor lyse said throughout the semester
