for sponsor ing freshman activities cabinet appoints members to conduct old clothes drive the sale of freshmen dinks in september to the men in the class of 1938 and the planning for an old clothes drive featured the last le high union meeting of the semes ter held tuesday in drown hall the lehigh union through per mission granted by arcadia this spring will take charge of the sale of freshmen dinks next fall the sale of these dinks will take place in the union office in drown hall all the profits accruing from them will go to the class buying them since the traditional and social side of student life is centered about the union it seems most ad visable to leave the sale of the dinks to that organization states l r travis president of the un ion before it was decided to sell the dinks in drown hall the question of their sale by merchants in the town was carefully considered this plan was deemed inadvisable as it was felt that it would create more ill will than good and the sale would be difficult to control a committee of the union will arrange for specifications and the securing of bids for the purchase of the dinks before the semester ends details for their sale will also be worked out later says travis in dealing with net profits ap pendix e to the constitution states a maximum of 50 or an account not to exceed one third of the net profit from a particular class shall be placed at the disposal of the lehigh union cabinet to be spent for the development and support of freshman spirit and activities the remainder of the net profits shall be placed in a fund to be known as the freshman employ ment fund aside from handling the dinks the union decided to run an old clothes drive members of the un ion cabinet have been apointed to the various living groups to collect any old clothes that the students find they do not need when they pack for the summer these clothes will be called for and left at the disposal of dr claude g beards lee in drown hall states travis the union decided that in the future the student members would make more of a point of handling the visitation of sick members of the university in the past dr beardslee and miss clouse his sec retary have attended to this many local students are to graduate chest quota half attained structure would be as large as packard lab oratory and have max imum capacity of 4,200 richards implies that

wrestling and basketball space provide room for all indoor sports that are now cramped in their present quarters in taylor gymnasium furnish ade quate room for commencement ex ercises concerts dramatics regis tration and banquets according to the present plans as drafted by litzenberger this audi torium would be connected to the gymnasium by means of an under ground tunnel the building

quarters in the basement would be located the lockers and showers kitchen equip ment would be located in the rear of the building for banquet accom modation the building would be modeled after that of the palestra at the university of pennsylvania the style of the architecture would dif fer however in order to make the building blend as much as possible with the other campus structures the need for such a building to relieve an eyesore and round out the campus has long been recog nized declares litzenberger the construction of such an auditorium would be the realization of many years of planning

year more extensive and permanent sanitary improve ments have been made during the coming summer cer tain changes will be made in the dormitories which will not only re duce the hazard in case of fire

tochicago coming events lehigh graduate speaks to local society about advantages of research research has raised the stan dards of society to incredible heights said lors e ekholm met 29 at a meeting last night of the metallurgical society in williams hall research was the subject of mr ekholm's talk mr ekholm is now director of research for the harrisburg pipe company he has also been in the employment of the aluminum company of america research is entirely too broad a field for one talk stated mr ek holm he defined research as being the work done to solve a problem that has not already been solved research btlongs to the mental ac tivities of man's life the economy and health of our mental industry is directly depen dent upon research men and their findings continued mr ekholm three-quarters of a million dollars is spent in the united states each working day by industry in research programs industry trade associa tions and universities make up these groups of technical experts the university has two duties to perform in their part of research they must carry on the fundamen tal work and give birth to and de velop research personnel the trade associations have their own labora tories is well as sponsoring research fellowships in the various universi ties industrial research started about the beginning of the world war continued mr ekholm in 1923 there were 500 industrial labora tories in 1933 that number was increased to 6000 ekholm mentioned the work done on stainless steel it is used for making cutlery oil refining mach inery and in chemical apparatus be cause of its non-corrosive proper ties this same metal plays a big part in structural work for its high strength and resistance fa tigue stainless steel is used in the construction of the new high speed trains such as the burlington zephyr this metal ornaments the new chrysler building the so-called knee action spring has caused much controversy in metallurgical circles it can't be de termined whether the metal should be cold or hot rolled or just what the proper metals are to be alloyed to produce the most efficient metal in very recent years the metal lurgist is turning to the improve ment of metals by changing the physical structure instead of the chemical constituents this is done by changing the grain-size of the metalby special heat treatment ekholm stated the oil industry is the biggest user of non-corrosive metals in the commercial world the transporta tion companies are running a close second as society is demanding more and more of industry science has to give in to them concluded mr ekholm this meeting of the society was the final one of a series of lecture meetings held during the course of the past year mcconn to teach at columbia dean c m mcconn will teach a
