epsilon national honorary mathematical so ciety and the physics club wed nesday evening in packard labora tory the greeks dr kasner said be lieved that nature had to be regular and simple therefore they thought that the planets moved in perfect circles this belief continued for several centuries until kepler cre ated the theory that all planets moved in elipses this theory was further supported by newton and his laws of gravitation the speaker continued by saying that einstein's investigations dis proved the kepler theory because einstein found that the planets do not move in elipses or circles they move in complicated spirals dr kasner also said that archi medes discovered that the center of gravity depended upon moments more than two centuries before the birth of christ he also advised stu dents to read the entire euclid ra ther than only certain sections of the book geometric theorems were then discussed during his time dr kas ner presented several theorems which he discovered the hare system of elections as used in the primaries in undergrad uate voting has not proven com pletely successful said dr ernest b schulz associate professor of government in a statement given out yesterday he mentioned the fact that the failure of the voters to express their opinions on second and third choices had the result of making numerous ballots ineffective the freshman primaries was a glaring example the voting had narrowed down to three candidates the expression of opinion at this point might have swung the election toward one of the candidates who was eliminated as the situation turned out 80 bal lots were declared ineffective in my opinion the ware sys tem of majority preferential voting would be vastly superior for univer sity balloting added professor schulz nominees for offices would be made by petition with sponsors as heretofore but they would be nominated for definite offices and the office would not depend on the number of votes the candidates re ceived as it did in the last elec tions i wish to compliment the offi cers in charge of the elections for their efficiency in seeing to it that all was run on an honest and fair basis they showed particular skill in detecting the status of voters in respect to the class ranking pro fessor schulz concluded ozzie nelson prom band leader won four letters at rutgers john r mccomb jean i rights to
