Popular 'Magic Show' Comes to HochMonday
A show that has been seen by some 13 million people in 17 years is coming to Hoch auditorium Monday night. Four departments in the School of Engineering are cooperating to present General Electric's "House of Magic Show" to be shown at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The departments of aeronautical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering have combined to bring the show here. Billed as a presentation of some striking scientific phenomena discovered by General Electric engineers, not a main presentation as the title implies. At the close of each act a demonstrator will explain the phenomena to the audience.
Spectators at the free presentation will watch a man shake hands with his own shadow, see a train that obeys spoken commands, witness the lighting of an electrical lamp with a match, watch a piece of paper explode, and see an artificial fever machine.
Other attractions in the hour-long show will include a gear spinning at the rate of 900 revolutions per minute, the amazing human-like magic eye, and the sending of music across the room on a beam of light.
7 Housemothers To Attend Tea
A joint tea for seven of nine house-mothers will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. oct 18 in the Kansas room of the Student Union.
The housemothers to be at the tea are Mrs. Daniel H. Bue, Acacia; Mrs. Joseph File, Phi Gamma Delta; Mrs. Lloyd Richmond. Phi Kappa Tau; Mrs. Marie D. Trego, Tau Kappa Epsilon; Mrs. Rose Franklin Cole, Triangle; Mrs. Edward J. Wilson, Chi Omega, and Mrs. Brittain Poteet Jr., Monchorsia.
It is believed to be the first time such a function has been held at the University. In previous years each organized house that had a new housemother had a tea in its own house.
A recent survey showed also that more than half of all the employed persons in the United States use passenger cars in earning their living. Production and distribution of motor cars furnishes more than 1,000,000 people with jobs.
