Campus Feud Becomes Helpful
A long-standing campus feud may have indirectly channeled the pranks of early day engineers and lawyers into constructive activities that planted ideas for the present Engineering Exposition.
Beginning in 1909 the engineers celebrated each year with an egg throwing, mischief making holiday known as Engineer's Day. They continued unmolested until 1922, when Engineer's Day parade floats were mysteriously sabotaged. Engineering students immediately blamed their arch-rivals, the law students and retaliated by plastering Green Hall with rotten eggs.
Constructive Work Suggested Chancellor Lindley immediately stopped what promised to become an out and out feud, with an order that Engineer's day must be abolished, but Dean P. R. Walker of the School of Engineering suggested an idea for channeling the energy of the over zealous engineers into something constructive. Technical displays which had been only a side light in the engineer festivities were to be the whole show. Chancellor Lindley approved, and the first Engineering exposition was held April 24. 1923.
Mining engineers opened the 1924 exposition with a model oil drilling rig boring through rock. The following year fliers from Fort Riley staged a mock dog-fight over the campus.
In 1931 a miniature volcano erupting at 10-minute intervals was constructed by the mining and geological engineers. A replica of Boulder (now Hoover) dam was erected by civil engineers in 1934.
The exposition reached its peaks in the post-war years when exhibits were open for three days. Total attendance climbed to about 25,000. Last year approximately 10,000 persons viewed displays. This year 20,000 visitors are expected.
The exposition was not held during the war.
3 Inches Tall Is Real Short
Did you ever wonder how it would feel to be three inches tall? The electrical engineers' exhibit in the EE laboratory gives just that illusion.
James Squires, Lawrence senior and chairman of the exhibit, has designed a giant model of a table radio constricted to that persons may walk through it.
The model will be 24 times larger than the radio itself, and in proportion the visitor of average height will be three inches high.
"Persons going through the model will see exactly how a radio operates from the time the air waves hit it until they come out as sound," said Larry Biggs, Lawrence senior, who helped plan the exhibit.
"They will be given a sheet of paper explaining the function of each part." Biggs said. "It will be non-technical and will contain analogies to make it easier to understand."
Visitors will enter a door at the point where the radio waves come in, and will exit through an "amplifier" as the sound does.
The model will contain the very same parts as the radio. The components wil be labeled pust as they are in the radio, and will be wired penons will be labeled just as they exactly as the table model is. Visitors will be able to see all of the parts functioning.
"The whole object of the exhibit is to show people what happens to waves in the air that makes them come out as sound," Biggs said.
Episcopalians Set Buffet
Canterbury Association, Episcopal student organization, will hold its regular faculty-student buffet at 5 p.m. Sunday. The Rev. Andrew Berry will speak on "What Is Sin?"
Fellowship To. Have Play Night
Fellowship To Have Play Night Liahona Fellowship of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will have a "Play Night" at 7:30 today at the Community Recreation Center.
