Kerplunk In Marvin--- ASCE Members Will See Bridge Crash In Movies
Student members of the American Institute of Civil Engineers will be shown moving pictures of important news happenings during the last year, including the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge, at a meeting at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night in room 206 Marvin hall.
The collapse of the Tacoma bridge is of special interest to engineers. It was the third largest single suspension bridge in the world, ranking next to the!
Golden Gate bridge at San Francisco and the George Washington bridge in New York City.
Built at a cost of $4,600,000 it was opened to traffic last July. The bridge was 4,800 feet in length.
Shortly after the bridge was built, engineers noticed its peculiar sway during high winds. On Nov. 7, during a 42-mile an hour wind storm, two sections of the bridge buckled and fell into Puget Sound.
Engineers since then have been debating whether the wind, faulty construction, or sabotage was responsible for the bridge's collapse.
In addition to the moving pictures, slides on bridge construction will be shown.
The movies will be presented by N. L. Ashton, chief designer for Howard, Tanner, Needles, & Bergendoff, consulting engineers of Kansas City, Mo.
To Exhibit Work At Art Week
Approximately 250 high school art students and teachers will attend the high school art conference and exhibition at the University March 9 to 15, Marjorie Whitney, acting chairman of the department of design, said today.
"We have had good response from all schools invited." Miss Whitney said. "A bus-load of 75 students from Wichita, alone, will be here for the conference."
Exhibitions will be on display in various campus buildings throughout the week, while the conference will be held only on March 14 and 15.
Entries for exhibition, limited to 10 from each school, will be received in drawing, painting, design, sculpture, craftwork, photography, and advertising design.
Birger Sandzen, noted Kansas painter, will be the principal speaker at the conference banquet March 14. University students and members of the public will be admitted to the banquet.
A series of demonstrations March 15, including T. D. Jones' color machine, and an actual water color painting demonstration by Karl Mattern, associate professor of drawing and painting, will also be open to the public.
Plan For Rifle Match
Members of both the men's and women's rifle teams will compete in the Missouri Valley Rifle Shoot, March 14 and 15, at Booneville, Mo., Lieutenant Carleton E. Smith of the University R.O.T.C., announced today. Members of the two squads that will compete are being selected now by Smith who is in charge of the rifle teams.

Marshall Will Go To Edgewood For Army Duty
T. H. Marshall, head of the department of chemical engineering, has been ordered to Edgewood Arsenal, Md., for duty with the United States Army, according to orders issued from Washington and carried by Associated Press dispatches yesterday. Marshall has received no official orders yet.
Marshall came to the University in the fall of 1935 and took up his duties with the chemical engineering department. He had previously taught at the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland.
Marshall attended Iowa State College, where he received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering in 1927. In 1930, after finishing an R.K. Laws Silk company Industrial Fellowship at Lehigh University, he received his M.S. from the institution. He has had additional study at Western Reserve.
His professional contact includes three and one-half years with the Illinois Central railway, a year as assistant chemist for the Iowa State highway commission, and two summers with the Jersey Central Power and Light company in the construction of the company's South Amboy plant.
In 1936 Marshall headed a survey to determine the proper disposal of brine in the Kansas oil fields in order to reduce contamination of streams.
Professor Marshall, a captain in the field artillery, recently resigned as chairman of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary committee in anticipation of his leave for army duty. He has been transferred, however, from field artillery to chemical warfare.
J. Richard Goertz, Elton Loomis and John Skie, chemistry graduate students, and Stanley Clark, chemical engineering senior, have been placed with the Devoe Reynolds Paint company of Louisville, Ky., Prof. R. Q. Brewster of the chemistry department announced today.
Chemistry Students Placed
The draft, the preparedness program, and a reduction in the birth rate 15 to 20 years ago were given as reasons for the 250 decrease by Klooz. "It shows that we are experiencing the general trend of reduction in university enrollments all over the country," he said.

To Complete Organization Of Movie Club Sunday
Organization of a local movie club to show the better American and foreign pictures of the past years will be completed at a meeting to be held at 8 o'clock Sunday evening in Fraser theater, Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, announced today.
At the first meeting, held last Saturday, Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, was elected president, and Mrs. Catherine Shoemaker, wife of Prof. W. H. Shoemaker, was elected secretary-treasurer.
Talk of a movie club was started by students in Crafton's motion picture course last year, but no move was made to organize such a club until this year.
Membership in the club is open to faculty, students, and townspeople. A membership fee will provide the funds to rent the pictures.
The club is a non-profit organization and admittance to the shows will be by membership only.
