Perrine Shows New Processes In Electronics
Light bulbs flashed and sound reverberated across the stage of Fraser theater Monday when Dr. J. O. Perrine, assistant vice-president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, demonstrated recent advances in the science of electronics.
"Energy is the common denominator of all types of engineering." Dr. Perrine told his audience. He said there are many methods by which energy is put to use; the projectile method, such as dynamite; the contact method, such as a bulldozer and the wave method, used by the electrical engineer.
In his demonstration, Dr. Perrine lighted neon tubes and light bulbs in mid-air by electromagnetic energy radiated through a horn. Source of the energy was a magnetron.
"The electrical engineer uses wires to guide energy waves," he explained. "There is nothing tangible or physical, but the energy is there, just the same."
Music from a phonograph was made to modulate a microwave transmitter, which was picked up by a crystal detector on the other side of the stage and fed into a public address system.
Africans Are Reserved Power
The native African people are a great reservoir of undeveloped possibility, the Rev. W. C. Esselstyn told members of the Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship Oct. 28.
The Rev, Mr. Essolstyn, who is the district superintendent of Nazarene instruction in Africa, said that South Africa is a land of great contrasts. He gave illustrations in the fields of education, religion, and industry.
Mrs. Esselstyn told the story of a typical conversion in the native Zulu language while her husband translated. The Rev. and Mrs. Esselstyn spent the last 20 years in Africa, nine of them in Swaziland. He is now on burough.
Alum Elected Company Head
Elmer H. Isern, '22, Miami, Okla., has been elected president of the Eagle-Pitcher Mining and Smelter company.

Two Grads Mix Law And Justice
If there is justice in law there should be law in medicine so far as Hill City is concerned.
Two Hill City students have been voted degrees by the University faculties. William W. Justus was awarded a bachelor of laws degree. Findley Law received an A.B. degree with a major in medicine.
Law still can't make a mixture of professions. He must finish work in the school of medicine before becoming a full-fledged medical student.
Chiapusso Gives Brilliant Recital
The music heard at Jan Chia-puso's piano recital Monday night was tremendous in both selection and interpretation, and his audience was enthusiastic during the entire concert.
By NORMA HUNSINGER
Professor Chiapusso presented a program of unusual interest in the "Italian Concerto" and "Partita in D Major" by Bach, "Sonata, op. 101" by Beethoven, and a group of numbers by Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, and Ravel.
Professor Chiapusso makes a very impressive figure at the piano, and his years of concert work have given him poise and stage presence.
Particularly outstanding was the sensitive performance of the Beethoven sonata, and the smooth and artistic treatment of Chopin and Debussy. In the two lighter numbers by Ravel, Mr. Chiapusso showed understanding of the composer's motive and made them come alive.
Although he has auspicious technical ability, he impresses most with his unassuming understanding and portrayal of the spirit of the compositions. He makes the notes sound like music, rather than just the media by which a pianist shows his dexterity. He gives the impression of intelligence and skill combined with perception and long practice in understanding music and technical expression.
His concert was well worth hearing.
Stockton Will Speak
Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, will attend a conference of the Association of University Evening colleges in New Orleans, from Sunday to Friday, Nov. 12. Dean Stockton will speak on "Looking Ahead." Monday, Nov. 8.

United Nations, Paris—Julius Katz-Suohy of Poland accused John Foster Dulles, who may be the next U.S. secretary of state, of using the same arguments against Communism as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels. He attacked Mr. Dulles in the political committee during a debate on Greece. He said Mr. Dulles in his speech last week found it "easy to blame world Communism" for the Greek muddle.

The president-makers—American voters—turned out early and in large numbers today to decide who shall sit in the White House during the next four years.
By the hundreds of thousands, they came out to vote in weather ranging from sunny to heavy rain.
The American voters are passing judgment, too, on the congress which Mr. Truman repeatedly has denounced.

They are choosing between President Truman, the Democratic standard-bearer whom faint thrust into the White House 43 months ago, and Republican Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who is getting his second shot at the presidency. Nine others are seeking the presidency, but the real contest is between these two men.
The early outpouring indicated that an estimated 50,000,000 will have cast presidential ballots before this day of decision ends.
In New York City, where an estimated $3,000,000 persons, will vote during the day, voting was unusually light in the morning hours. The weather there was partly cloudy early but the sun broke through about mid-morning. Voting also was light in industrial Buffalo, N, Y., and the Atlanta, Ga., area.
The first returns of the day came from Tiny Hart's Location, N. H., which gave Mr. Dewey 11 votes and Mr. Truman 1. Four years ago the same community gave the last President Roosevelt 6: Mr. Dewey 4.

online study will take 200
"The entire study will take months," Van Meir said. "In that time, I will research the transition of Phillipsburg from an agricultural town to a minor industrial center and the relation of industry to the community. This will include zoning, employment, and the economic and social factors which may enter into any relation between an industry and the place where it is located."
Van Meir is majoring in economic theory and expects to receive his doctor of philosophy degree in August, 1950. He received his bachelor of science degree in agricultural economics from the University of Illinois in 1942, and a master of science in the same field from Kansas State in 1948.
Van Meir was teaching at Kansas State when the Consumers Co-operative association offered him the opportunity to work for his doctorate degree. He came to the University Sept. 1, 1948.
"C.C.A. wanted the project carried out here because the University is well-known in the field of economic theory," he explained.
"My study for the association will be its expansion of the last 10 years," Van Meir said. "In it, I will determine the degree which co-operative units meet the needs of the community and the action needed, if any, to better relations between co-operatives and their communities."
Van Meir added that the study is one of a series which C.C.A. is conducting throughout the Midwest through graduate students at various colleges.
C. C.A. is a wholesale co-operative serving 2300 retail co-operatives in nine states, with Kansas as the geographical center of its sales territory. Of its 1437 stockholding member groups, 337 or 23.5 per cent located and sell in Kansas.
