Engineers Feature "Workable" Science Popcorn Marches On
Just to show what a mechanical engineer can do when he gets the inventing urge, the department of mechanical engineering will exhibit an unusual popcorn popping machine at the Engineering Exposition Friday and Saturday.
This brain-child, rivaling any of Rube Goldberg's mad inventions, selects one kernel of popcorn at a time, pops it, places it on a conveyer, sprinkles on butter and salt, and hands it to anyone who wants it.
the framework of the machine is covered with a transparent material
so visitors can watch every step in the operation. The machine was built a few years ago by a student in the department, and has been a hit at recent expositions.
Beer Bottle Calliope
Also on exhibit will be the beer bottle calliope. This calliope is operated on a regular keyboard, but beer bottles partially filled with water take the place of pipes. Beer is not used because it foams too much when the air passes through it.
A stroboscope, used for studying fast-moving machine parts, will be demonstrated during the exposition. By flashing a bright light at the part being studied as many times
as it revolves, the stroboscope produces an optical effect that makes the part appear to stand still. By timing the flash slightly ahead or behind the revolution, the part appears to be moving slowly.
A miniature foundry will be in operation for visitors to watch the various processes.
Various aircraft companies will have airplane engines on display. A "cutaway" airplane will enable visitors to inspect the working parts of a plane. The uses of the wind tunnels will also be demonstrated.
The mechanical engineering exhbit will be held in the engineering laboratory in back of Marvin hall.
High Schools To Visit Here This Weekend
When 500 high school students from 23 towns swarm to the campus for the first annual Interscholastic Guest day Friday, they will face an eventful day.
Planned tours of the campus, the Kansas Relays, a concert by the music department, and a dance in the ballroom will be among the activities on their crowded schedule.
At 4:30 p. m. all-out aid to entertainment will be given by the music department when it turns on the heat to bring the orchestra, Men's Glee Club, Women's Glee Club, A Cappella choir, and the University Band all together in one five-star performance. The concert will be Hoch auditorium and will be open to the public, H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, said today.
Clayton Harbur's band will swing out for the visiting student's pleasure from 7:30 to 9 p. m. in the Union ballroom. A special crew of University students will be on hand to be sure everyone has a good time.
Another feature of the day will be a barbecue beef dinner served picnic-style in Marvin grove at 6 o'clock.
In the morning, breakfast will be served in the ballroom. Then students will be taken on tours of the campus, returning to the ballroom at noon for lunch.
RELAYS QUEEN--selecting team will be present at the Relays to see in person the three co-eds whom they honored.
The new queen succeeds Helen Johnson, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and queen of last year's Relays. Becky Tremblly, Theta, and Marjorie Heimbrook, Gamma Phi, were the queen's escort last year.

Tibbett Tickets Going Fast
Although the concert by Lawrence Tibbett is still nearly a month away, there is a steady sale of tickets so that it seems probable that all reserved seats will be sold out by concert night. May 12, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today.
numbers from cities over the state as the appearance of Tibbett at Lawrence is his only appearance in Kansas this year.
Reservations are arriving in large
Dean Swarthout, who is manager of the University Concert Course, has written Tibbett, expressing the desire that he find it possible to be present the morning following the concert, at the all-University convocation on Fine Arts Day when Olin Downes, music critic of the New York Times, will be the speaker.
