SIX TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1931 SUMMER SESSION KANSAN Universe Lasts Forever Theory Is New Relativistic View of World's Future Pasadena, Calif.—"The universe could exist forever, even though it appears to earthly observers to be running down like an unwound clock." This new relativistic view of the universe's future was presented to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here by Prof. Richard C. Tolman of the California Institute of Technology, one of the world's authorities on the mechanism of the universe. Under the old-fashioned classical view of the universe, there has heretofore been no escape from the idea that energy is running downhill to a dead level. Professor Tolman offers the possibility of escape from this philosophically unhappy prospect. He has applied relativistic thermodynamics to the process occurring in the universe. Professor Tolman has painted a mathematical picture of the universe in the past few years that is more acceptable than the one originally drawn by Prof. Albert Einstein. Professor Tolman performed his mathematical analysis upon a simple model of the universe constructed for the purpose. Pasadena, Calif. — (SS) — Thunderstorms that come suddenly in the night are about the most troublesome feature in western aviation, and the hardest to guard against. Vincent E. Jakl, meteorologist of the Omaha municipal airport, told the American Meteorological society. It is exceedingly difficult to predict the time or place of a thunderstorm, he said, and while aviators can usually see such storms in the daytime and fly around them, it is not always possible to see them at night in sufficient time to avoid them. THUNDERSTORMS AT NIGHT ARE HAZARDS OF AVIATION Other weather changes, Mr. Jakl said, are predicted with considerable success, from maps of the region prepared at three-hour intervals and from the larger maps prepared twice each day. Aviators flying over the region with which he is especially concerned, reaching from Chicago to Cheyenne, have fewer weather troubles in the western half of the area, because it is considerably drier than the eastern half. SCIENTISTS ARE UNCERTAIN OF SIZE OF PLANET PLUTO Pasadena, Calif.-Astronomers are not quite certain of the size of the planet Pluto which was discovered last year. Dr. E. C. Bower of the University of California reported a study of gravitational pulls between Pluto and the other members of the solar system which unfortunately does not give conclusive results. The most probable result is that Pluto has seven-tenths of the mass of the earth. Dr. Bower explained that an observation of the planet's disc in the hundred-inch telescope at Mt. Wilson probably offers the best chance of determining its size. If under the best conditions for astronomical observations Pluto does not appear to be more than a mere point of light, it cannot be heavier than a tenth of the earth's mass. DR. WASHINGTON DISCREDITS "LOST ATLANTIS" THEORY The "Lost Atlantis" theory of the origin of the tiny scrap of new land that has emerged near St. Paul's Rocks in the middle of the South Atlantic off the coast of Brazil is scouted as utter nonsense by Dr. Henry Washington, volcanologist of the Carnegie Institute of Washington. Dr. Washington recently completed a critical study of rocks from the St. Paul group, and is acquainted with the structure of the earth's crust in that little-visited part of the world. There is nothing to indicate a sunken continent, but there is a most peculiar submarine ridge running down the length of the Atlantic, splitting the ocean into an eastern and a western half. These emerged peaks are familiar to us as the islands and island groups of the Azores, Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena, Gough, Bouvet, and St. Paul's Rocks. The newly emerged islets, if they stay above the surface, will add another lower summit or two to the dry part of this sub-Atlantic mountain range. Student Returns After 28 Years Pittsburg.—A member of the first class to attend Kansas State Teachers College here in 1903 is again attending the college, completing work on his degree. Carl Johnson, teacher at Aberdeen, Wash., was a student the first year the college was founded and since 1907 has been teaching industrial arts. Read the Kansan Want Ads. Humor Saves Mental Force Psychanalyst Lays Lincoln's Sense of Humor Kept Him Sane Toronto, (S.S.)—Lincoln's famous sense of humor saved him from being swept away by the strong forces of his mental make-up, Dr. A. A. Brill, psychoanalyst of New York, declared in a paper on the personality of the great Civil War president. The psychoanalyst classifies Lincoln as a schizoid-manic type. Schizoid to the analyst means a shut-in, thoughtful type of personality. Manic means inclined to moods of buoyance. Dr. Brill has studied George Washington's type, concluding that he was a schizoid, contrasting with Roosevelt, who was manic Such traits are conspicuous in mentally diseased persons, where the tentencies become exaggerated and uncontrolled. In normal persons the traits exist but less noticeably. Lincoln was pulled constantly in two directions by his conflicting shut-in and buoyant tendencies, Dr. Brill showed. He saved himself from being swept away by these strong forces by his famous sense of humor. The funny stories he told and his jesting attitude toward serious problems were his successful way of rising above an existence which he found so distressingly full of melancholy problems. Much of Lincoln's emotional difficulties with life can be traced to his father, who ill-treated him, the psychoanalyst showed, pointing out that normality so-called depends altogether on a son's adjustment to his parents, especially the father. "The whole future adjustment of the son to his teachers, employers, and the state depends on his early adjustment to his father," the psychoanalyst declared. GAGE OUTLINES TWO PRIME QUALIFICATIONS OF LEADERS Pittsburgh, Kan.-Part of the mission of educational systems of America in the current depression is to furnish leaders, stated Dr. H. M. Gage, president of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in an address to students of the Kansas State Teachers College here yesterday. The two prime qualifications outlined by Doctor Gage as necessary for leadership are intelligence and morality. "Today we live in an era of overproduction in which we have too much of everything but morality," Gage said. DIRECTORY OF THE 1931 K. U.
