★ Karl Kuersteiner Will Direct Orchestra's Initial Program in Hoch Auditorium
By Betty Bridges, c'41
The 100-piece University Symphony orchestra under the director of Karl O. Kuersteiner will make its season's debut with the annual Fall Concert at 8 p.m. tonight in Hoch auditorium.
The "Academic Festival Overture" and the "Symphony No. 2 in D major" by Brahms will be the highlights of the program. "We hesitated to play a Brahms symphony until Karl Kreuger directed the orchestra last spring and was strongly in favor of the orchestra playing the Brahms work," said Kuersteiner.
The program after intermission will include the "Carnival of Animals" of Saint-Saens, a novelty number descriptive of lions, hens cocks, tortoises, elephants, kangaroo, and the swan, in which Loren Wethers, fa 42, and Marshall Butler fa 42 will be soloists.

Comes a letter from two Betsa (also medics) enveloping a few Shin items and the information that this department definitely is non persona grata with them. Confidently, boys, I think you're right but what is our opinion compared to the other three readers? Don't be so selfish. I don't like it; you don't like it; but think of the kick my Uncle Zeke gets out of reading about Pi Phi soap and Gamma Phi showers. He hasn't had either since he left the army.
SHIN

After making a few disparaging remarks in his column about the varity football tackles, Sports Ed Claw Holden invoked Merklin's吊挂-hang-up. With an expressive display of muscular (Continued on page two)

Pedal for Birdies--front of Watson library by the end of the week. The women will race from the front of the Memorial Union building to the Chi Omega circle and back to the Union build-in by the Mississippi street hill. Menn cyclists will begin at the Union building, go behind Frank Strong hall to the Rock Chalk cairn, down the Hill to Mississippi street, and back to the front of the Union building.
Schedule Bike Races For Homecoming Day
Most people try to avoid "the bird," but in the bicycle contests scheduled for 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 25, as a Homecoming innovation, about 90 University students will try to get the bird — or rather two birds. The birds in questions are turkeys offered prizes to the num and woman win-
Each organized or semi-organized house will enter one student in the contest. As the men's race will be held separately from the women's, there can be no dispute over the inequality of the sexes. The 20 independent men and 20 independent women first applying as competitors for the race will be allowed to participate in the contest.
Students dearing to enter the contest should leave their names at the alumni office or with Leslie Waters, instructor of economics, in Room 106. Frank Strong hall by next Thursday.
The turkeys to be presented the winners will be alive, kicking, and in all their feathered glory. The Men's Student Council is contributing the men's award, and the women must be given by an unknown donor.
A map of the course to be followed by the "bicycle-jockies" will be posted on the bulletin board in
Exhibit To Acquaint Students With Hospital Services
Miss Elizabeth Meguar, adviser of women, and Henry Werner, men's student adviser, are conducting the drive in organized houses.

At the time of the contest the Main Campus drive will be blocked off and Mississippi street near the Pi Phi house closed to traffic.
the committee in charge of the bicycle race includes: Leslie Waters instructor in economics, Jack Wasserman fill Mills, c40; and John Yoder, b40.
General rules for the contest outlaw motor bikes, gasoline powered vehicles, professional racing bicycles, and tandems.

Dr. Bert A. Nash, head of the drive among unorganized students, said: "I believe that most students will be willing to give to the Red Cross an amount which is equivalent to the cost of one work or a few packages of cigarettes."
The campaign for student cooperation is also under way. Jay James women's pep organization, is managing tubes in Frank Strong and Fraser hall to receive student contributions.

A Light One-Fifth That of Sun
Taking a small quartz tube no larger than the size of an ordinary fever thermometer and half the length, filled with a drop of mercury, Dr. Thomas produced the brilliance of 65,000 lumens, or one-fifth the brilliance of the sun. But one could gaze at the light without hurting the vision.
After Dr. Thomas turned off the small light, the ordinary pair of lights shining on him appeared to be a pale yellow in comparison.
In demonstrating the use of light beams to open and close electrical switches, to relay sound, and turning off and on electrical lights, Dr. Thomas ended by apparently pouring music out of an ordinary coffee pot. The principle in back of these devices is that light waves are known as the "electrical eye." In this demonstration the beam acts as a relay—to cause the function of whatever mechanical device is desired to be put into action.
Thomas Presents Science Progress Before 1.500

Electric Eyes Go to Work
By Art O'Donnell, c'41
As an added fillip, the lecture turned a flashlight on three electri tles and caused a set of chimes tring, playing reveille and the National Broadcasting company's initial tones.
Another demonstration which will have practical application and is not obtainable is the precipitant. This device is an added advancement in air conditioning process; it electrifies dust particles in the air and, by means of charged plates, is able to remove 100 per cent of all solvent that is present. This device is a boon to hay fever sufferers. It enables them to build up resistance to the impurities of natural airs.
Approximately 1,500 persons were present to see and i hear of the new advances in the science of electricity and light given by Dr. Phillips Thomas in a lecture and demonstration at Hoch auditorium last night.
Dr. Thomas concluded with the statement that although these devices are presented in much simpler forms than they are carried on in research laboratories, the factual basis for them is quite the same.
