College Freshman Constructs TV Camera For Exposition
By RICHARD TATUM
Some persons like to play golf for a hobby and some like to hurt black-throated dickthistles, but there is one College freshman who would rather build television cameras.
He is Steve Trujillo, and for television fans visiting the Engineering Exposition he has constructed a basic model television camera for the physics display. The physics department will demonstrate the camera by televising spectators as they enter the display room while others observe images on the receiving screen.
However, Steve's camera does not use the ionoscopic arrangement which is used in the newer television cameras today. His will use a mechanical scanning disk of the type used in the early experimental cameras.
The camera's basic construction includes a bomb sight tens, a metal scanning disk $17^{1/2}$ inches in diameter, and a photoelectric cell. Evenly spaced around the edge of the scanning disk are 90 holes twelve thousandths of an inch in diameter and each hole five thousandths of an inch closer to the center of the disk than the next.
As the scanning disk spins at 1800 revolutions a minute, each tiny hole admits an image picked up by the lens which is picked up by the photoelectric cell.
The image is then transmitted to the oscilloscope, which acts as a TV receiver, by two caxial cables. One cable carries the image and the other carries the synchronized pulsations.
Steve, who first started "fooling around with radios" when he was nine, said he might try selling his TV camera as an antique after the exposition. This is because the design of his apparatus is so basic.
"Actually," Steve said, "the scanning disk device is a take off from relics of the early television experiments."
A man named Paul Nipkow invented the first scanning disk in 1883. He used two scanning disks, one in the transmitting apparatus and one in the receiving apparatus.
THE VARSITY CREW orchestra will play for the Kansas Relays dance Saturday night. Shown playing the saxophone is Jim McCaig, band leader. Featured soloists are Jack Zimmerman, who plays lead trombone with Gene Krupa, Wayne Ruppenthal, trumpet, with Charlie Barnet, and Ronald Washington, alto sax player.
Memorial Stadium Built By Loyalty Fund Campaign
By CHARLES PRICE
Originally, important football games were played in Kansas City. Later an attempt was made to play all home games at the University, but McCook Field stadium proved to be inadequate and risky. It was then the loyal backers of the University started the million-dollar Loyalty Memorial fund campaign to erect several memorials on the campus. The Memorial stadium was among these projects. It was completed in 1927.
The history of the University's Memorial stadium, home of the K.U. Relays, dates back to Kansas City league parks, McCook field, and an active school spirit among K.U. alumni, students, and friends throughout the Middle West.
Many years prior to this, K.U. played its first full season of football in 1891, the year the Thanksgiving Day K.U.-M.U. rivalry began. In 1890-91, home games were played at the corner of Massachusetts and Adams (now 14th) streets, where Liberty Memorial High school now stands.
Because of a large cut of gate receipts demanded by the owner of the field, students and alumni began considering a University field and stadium. Two sites were considered—one just east of Mt. Oread (then a vacant strip of lots) and the other,
From 1891 to 1901 the game was played in Sportsman's park, one-time home of the Kansas City Blues. Then in 1902 the game was carried to the American association park. From there it was moved to the Gordon-Koptel field in 1908.
the site where the stadium now stands.
The movement bogged down when it was found that the legislature was not for the idea. But realizing the need, Colonel McCook, a celebrated Civil War veteran and ardent sports lover, donated $2,500. The stadium site was chosen and named McCock field.
After World War I, high maintenance costs and rotting bleachers sustained the students' quest for a permanent memorial to the University's war heroes.
The Memorial Fund campaign started in the fall of 1919 to raise $50,000 each for a University stadium and a student Union building.
After a tour of the East, Forrest "Phog" Allen and two engineers, reported that the Princeton university stadium seemed the best style of structure for the proposed memorial.
The first units of the stadium were completed in 1921 in time for the annual K.U.-M.U. game. Two years later, April 21, 1923, the University played host to track stars from all over the country. People gathered in the spacious Memorial stadium to witness in the first annual Kansas Relays.
