Professor Alter Invents New Type of Radio Antenna
Substitution of Vertica for Horizontal Aerial Facilitates Clear Reception
A new radio aerial designed to obviate most of the defects of the borton armament was built and perfected by Dismore After. professor of astronomy at the University of Kansas, and will be distributed to retail area in about three weeks.
The first test of the new type aerial was made Friday, Sept. 16, and the final test was completed Wednesday, Prof. G, C. Shand and Prof. H, W. Anderson of the department of electrical engineering were witnesses that the type aerial possesses all the qualities its inventor claims for it.
No.18
Professor After applied for a patient of his invention on Sept. 21 through Warren D. House, patient attorney of Kansas City, Mo.
Hangs Vertically
The new airlens hangs vertically and consists of an ordinary ground tube (called a chamber). The copper tube serves to shield the ground wire from interfering electromagnetic waves and oblivies the airlens from the use of horizontal airlens.
The advantages claimed for the invention, and which witnesses of tests say are supported by the work of the researchers are included: *Harsiest possible tuning; maximum volume; less static; only one support needed, since the horizontal wire is discarded; no need for sleet or wind storms; needs not limited space for placement. The last advantage may enhance the aerial's popularity in cities where there is not already an in-which to stretch a horizontal wire.
FOUR PAGES
Includes Return Wire
The description of the aerial is the inventor's own words as follows: the aerial tuning of any of the various types, but of course lacks the volume it has when a capacity is added to the top part. The aerial tuning of an aerial has only a vertical part, and therefore the sharp tuning, but it is so deep that the volume of a typical type.
Singles Out Stations Easily
The novel principle is a return wire from the top shielded from the radio waves by a metal rod. This return wire is grounded through an inductance.
In *a test conducted last Mona*, night the inventor illustrated the fining quality of his vertical aerial by turning it off and putting it back distant from his place of reception, and listening in on Kansas City with absolutely no interference from the local audience so far that officers affords virtually no difficulty to the receiver who is trying to tune in on outside stations, when the new aerial is in use. In correspondence with the local horizonal nerials, Professor Alter found the new type greatly exerted the old. The local Lawrence stations made this possible, and programs practically impossible when the receiver is depending on a horizontal wire collector, Professor Alter said. He said furiously that the new aerisr was sufficient to enable the radio far to pick any station in the country providing static conditions were normal and other aspects of the same problem were silent.
Wins_ Prize in _ Contest
When the various Dickinson theaterists in the state entered the contest to see which could secure the best reception of their work, Tumey-Tunney the Varsity theater borrowed Professor Alter's serial. The fact that this theater easily won the contest, and their talent and honesty, sent their testimony to the excellence of the invention.
The perfection of his new aerial comes as a result of a year and a half of sturdy work. Professor Alder's path were cleared away in the last two weeks with the discovery of the principle of metal sheathing, and he moved on to greater Alter intends to manufacture the aerial locally in quantities sufficient to meet the demands of airlines before placing its sale in the hands of wholesalers. Several types of the new aerial industry in broadcasting are being planned.

R. O. T. C. Members Are Presented Medals During Regular Drill
Colonel Mumma Congratulates Men for Uniformly High Rifle. Score
The University of Kansas R, O, T, C, M, men who represented K, U during the summer camp rifle competition were presented one gold, one silver medal and two bronze medals. R, O, T, C, tuller Wednesday afternoon, Lydell Muller was presented a gold medal in recognition of his ability as the best rifle shot at the Leavenworth county championship, received a silver medal as the second best shot and four bronze medals were given to Multer, Kerr, V. Weston, and R. Neeley as the best representative team at camp. In a recent letter from Morton C. Mumma, lieutenant colonel at Fort Leavenworth, to Major Cypher, he said that the high scores made by the team and especially the engineer unit on the high quality of their marksmanship as evidenced by the uniformly high scores made by the engineers also also pronounced as remarkable the showing of K, U. Men who represented the unit in the seventh place in a meet in which 128 military rifle teams fired.
Four K. U. men, Muller, Kerr, Don Wheatthroff and Donald Saumurman were placed on the seventh corps area team which won six victories in Major Oygon, the remarkable showing is evidenced in the fact that the first five teams to place were from the regular army and the sixth team was from a unit of the Sixth Army under command. The seventh corps area team was chosen more as amateur.
Loan Fund Is Exhausted
Lack of Money Causes Refusa of Aid to Students
"The report that has been circulated, that 116 students had applied for financial assistance, said Karen Fund and had been forced to quit school because their applications were refused, is erroneous," said Karen Fund. The Fund had been forced to quit school. According to the Kareo, only 18 students applied for financial assistance at the time of graduation, and the $890 which was on hand was distributed among these 18. Collections during the past summer were very poor, according to the Kareo, but in rather poor condition, Fund is, but some collections are coming in all the time and the amount of finances can be taken care of. Several applicants have been referred to the Rotary Student Loan Association.
Loans not exceeding $50.00 are made by the Rotary Club to worthy students and have been commended from the Dean of men or Mr. Kloos. Applications should be made to I. J. Mendo, chair, Student Loan Fund, of the Rotary Student Loan Fund.
Watson Library Reports Increase in Circulation
The reserve section of Watson Library reports that more books were handed Wednesday, and a steady increase in the number handled is observable. The circulation desk shows a greater percentage of books on hand this month of September than during September, 1928. The gain will be about one hundred books per month, the total amount of $250, making this month's record about 2500 volumes. The monthly gain in this department will be about $30,000.

Swimming Tryouts Begin
dissouri Valley Meet Scheduled Late in March
Late in March
A large group of swimmers reported for the first call Wednesday made by Coach Herbert G. Alphina, the coach of the trousls will start immediately.
Sixten swimmers answered the first call and plans for the fall training camp. Each swimmer records taken. Each swimmer is required to swim three-fourths of a mile in one day after that time, until after the Christmas holidays the requirement will be met.
"Training in turning, and technique on cowl and back strokes will not be practiced until later in the fall," Coach Abbain said.
The only meet of the season scheduled now is the Missouri valley meet in March. If a first team is deferred, the meeting will be scheduled, and Mr. Alphin.

The formal Freshman Initiation last night which is radically becoming one of the most cherished K. U. traditions in college, is offered by national school's. Coming at night, its formality and significance give it a place of its own. Nebraska has a ceremony which probably makes the nearest approach in the Missouri Valleys.
Many Universities Have Initiation Ceremonies
Last Thursday, September 22 was the date selected for the initiation of the new school year. A mony was in the morning instead of at night. The students were conducted from their classes to the parade, where they were held by "The Innocents and Mortarboards"; senior honorary organizers were present; the ceremony is given by the Daily Nebraskan as "to acquaint the new class with the culture and school life of the university."
The meeting was in charge of various student organizations, including the "Corn Cobs and Tashtos", student newspaper The News, that taught the freshmen and short talks given by the school's coaches. Two upperclassmen explained to the victims the purpose of the green caps freshmen must wear. Nebraska freshmen must wear.
In the East, Ohio State University initiates its newcomers with a full curriculum, including a completely informal "get-together" for all students and faculty in the Ohio State Museum. Later in the yearlings' yearling to Ohio traditions, spirit and yells. The ceremonies will be held at the campus with the annual cane-rush between the freshman and sophomores. Ohio has more than 2500 in the freshman class.

Ku Ku's Will Give Dance
Club Plans to Aid in Activities Other Than Athletics
Plans for financing and for meetings during the present year were made by the Ku Kw's at the meeting held Wednesday, 10 p.m., at Fraser
This year the organization will aid in activities other than athletics. Instead of staging stunts at every football game as in the past, they plan to concentrate on two good ones to be given on Dad's day and on Home-day. These, they believe, will be more valuable than several inferior ones.
Improved organization will enable the chapter to be much better financed than in previous years. It will receive no aid from the athletic department, and the firm's former financial basis than before through various social events which will be held during the year. The first of these will be an All-Hill benefit party and dance to be held Pri-
ncessed and according to the present tentative plans.
The Ku Ku's will take part in the dedication of the new auditorium. Those who were wiped last spring will be initiated sometime later in the
Uninvited Guest Enters Fraser to Spend Night
A beautiful skunk is now in the University. He went to night school last night in Fraser hall and stayed with her for two days before he, here, entered yesterday afternoon without taking any entrance examinations or having any advanced standings.
Although he is still on the Hill, he is not attending classes today. The jailer went on to say, that is, he was outside to say, that when he opened the door to Fraser Hall this week he was enough to knock him down. He went out of his own accord. So did the skunk.
The main feature about this animal is something which cannot be seen, and yet something which every body notice and talk about. You can be that true in days gone by it made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school, but what would they have done if there had been a skunk in existence?

Students Make K. U. Seal for Freshman Initiation
The large illuminated seal which was placed next to the altar on the stage at the freshman mitigation last night was made by three students in the first year of their studies, Harriet Adams, and Nina Makepeace. They were not notified that the seal was to be made until 9 o'clock Thursday morning and worked on it the entire day. They were supervised in the afternoon by a instructor in the department.
The seal is 38 inches in diameter, made on vellum tracing paper, and is an exact duplicate of the official seal with a slightly darker colored and mounted as a transparent seal with glass on both sides. It is framed in wood which makes it of permanent value so that it can be used in the future for similar ceramic seals.
Five Candidates to Be Nominated for Rhodes Scholarship This Fall
Man Who Is Chosen Will Attend Oxford University for Three Years
The state of Kansas is entitled to select a Rhodes scholar this fall, and the University will nominate five candidates for the honor on Oct. 15.
The man who is chosen from the state in 1927 will go to Oxford University, England, next year and will study at the 400 pounds starring a year for three years. The curriculum calls for six months study at Oxford and six months study at Cambridge.
Application blanks and information concerning the Rhodes scholarship are obtainable from the office of A. T. Walker, professor of Latin and chairman of the nominating committee; or from W. E. Sandelius, assistant secretary of the state committee of selection for the Rhodes scholar.
The requirements of the scholarship state that the candidate must be an unmarried male citizen, or be a native of the United States, Oct. 1, 1968 and Oct. 1, 1970. He must be a good student, must have qualities of leader, responsibility, decision as to how the candidates measure up to the requirements is left to a state committee of select.
While sophomores and junior, if they are within the age limits, are eligible for college programs, they are not preferred to receive the honor. A non-resident of the state must have completed at least 120 hours in residence at a state Kansas school.
Poster Exhibit Is Shown
Department of Design Displays Foreign Art Works
Of especial interest to students of design and the general public as well, is the poster exhibition in the office of the department of design. Twenty-two posters may be displayed there and are collected for publication and be placed in the regular exhibition room.
Many of these posters have been sent to Mice Ketcham during the summer months and a large number are European. The oldest poster is from Switzerland, attributed to Buffalo, N. X., in 1900 and depicts the spirit of the Niugata Falls.
For clearness and originality the posters of the Underground Railway exhibit the most distinctive shows on the upper half the disagreeableness of the London weather in winter while in the lower half passenger trains run in opposite directions fort on the underground railway. Large letters with the words, "It is warmer beneath," complete the pos-
Switzerland's contribution is a positive of extreme flat color showing between the hills. The best American posters are those of the Central Railway lines and those of the Great Northern Railway.

St. Louis, Sept. 29—A warm sun booked down on a disorganized St. Louis trying to restorate room and presenting list of dead stands at $28, but it is expected to increase today. Many are in hospitals suffering from three hundred hospitals as being receiving medical treatment but many had sought aid hospitals to exact number will never be known
**Storm Hits in Early Morning**
The storm struck St. Louis at 1:05 m. and layed exactly 15 minutes. It cut a lassy path across the city. It resembled a fortress of enemies it resembled the path of a giant taking great crushing steps.
The first step was taken today to raise two funds, one for immediate relief of the sufferers and another for committee of the city's committee of St. Louis.
Victor Miller, mayor of St. Louis,
issued a proclamation today asking
immediate financial aid. "Dollars
will be used to fund immediate
seed," the proclamation read.
Red Cross at Work
Four relief stations have been
published in the stricken sections by
the Red Cross, with 60 trained work-
force distribute supplies to the sufferers.
Militia men aided the police in patrolling the devastated area with orders to kill anyone seen piercing the ruins. No one was reported looting, and no arrests were sent from Jefferson Barracks to camp near the city in case of need.
St. Louis, Sept. 30.—The most tragic spot in the storm-ridden city today was the morgue, temporarily located in the basement of the City hospital. Scenes of anxious persons swarmed around the room as a grusome armor for the missing relatives and friends.
Police questioned each person to bar the morbidly curious and make room for those with a sincere mission.
On a bare granite floor inside lay the dead like so many limp bags. The room, usually furnished as a garage, had to be cleaned out the overflow lay in the corridors. People filed through slowly and quietly. Most of thesearchers hunted in vain. They passed out into the open air to be hurried on their way back. But when they found there was a groan or scream, as some one search had been successful.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 29—One thousand armed troops were sent to St. Louis from Jefferson Barracks in compliance with an order from the War Department, to assist in the restoration after the St. Louis tornado.
Major-General Lassiter of the Sixth Corps Area was commissioned to go to St. Louis from Chicago to take charge of the men. Mali-Gen. Maxwell Lassiter, a senior Air Force Area at Omaha was ordered to hold in readiness to aid Lassiter if necessary. The Red Cross is to have entire charge of the relief. Many experienced workers have volunteered to do the work of refusing the sufferers.
