Electrical Exhibit to Include Radio and Power Display
No.141
Efficiency of Apparatus Used as Modern Home Equipment to Be Shown
The committee from the department of electrical engineering of the School of Engineering has complied plans for its part of the exhibit to be presented at the annual engineering expo to be held April 22 and 23.
The departmental exhibit will be held as in past years in the electrical engineering laboratory. All of the equipment in the laboratory will be on display as will all of the electrical components used in the generating plant of KFKU, the University broadcasting station, will also be open for inspection.
The organization for the exhibit is well under way and the student manager, D. H. Stoltenberg, e27, has been working with the nuttedresses, according to Paul H. Kent, instructor in electrical engineering. The plan to be used this year is to have a senior in charge of each internship. The intern will assist his aspirants from lower classmen.
Cost for Home Use Shown
The cost of operation of modern electrical apparatus in the home is one of the most comprehensive of the exhibits planned. Indicating wattmeters will be connected to the more common modern electrical equipment used in the home, and in this way a comparison of these appliances will be made.
Another domestic problem that will be demonstrated is the frying of eggs without heat. According to Stoltenberg, anyone can hold his hand under the pan and find that no heat is being transmitted from any source. He said that there were no electrical wires connected to the pan.
Radio Display Planned
Radio fans will have an opportunity to witness an educational exhibit in a display of modern vacuum tubes. The efficiency and the cost of operation of the numerous vacuum-tube hook-ups will be determined.
Man-Made Lightning Shown
A miniature, but complete, hydroelectric generating plant will be demonstrated in this exhibit. The rotational mechanism of the high-power wheels used in home of the large plants of the country. The case will be constructed of glass, so that the action of the water, and the machinery under the spectator.
Man-Made Lightning Shown
Man-mode lightning will be one of the spectacular displays. This lightning jumps up an air gap of more than three feet. An exceptionally high voltage is necessary to accomplish this feat.
FOUR PAGES
Wireless Lamp Is Feature
As a problem in illumination, a room will be illuminated by means of a mercury are unit. This unit gives off an intense blue light that is devoid of the red colors of sunlight. The result of this lighting effect on the surroundings will be very weird, according to Stoltenberg.
A wireless lamp will be exhibited. This lamp is of the common domestic variety but requires no connecting wires to furnish its illumination. "Lamp socket and fixtures will be furnished in a wall-mounted lamp is adopted," said Stoltenberg.
A more mechanical display is being prepared in the demonstration of a small induction motor, with the upper part of the frame cut away. This will give a clear view of the manner in which the motor runs. The presses at the ends of the same the large motors that are used to run the wheels of industry.
A freak in electric motors will also be on display. This motor rotates in one direction for a few moments, then hesitates a moment and reverses its rotation in the opposite direction for a similar length of time. This cycle of reversing action is continued infinitely.
Many other displays of electrical mechanism and phenomena will be included in the exhibit. According to Kent, the interest being shown in the exhibit in the electrical department seems very great, and all indications point to a successful engineering position this year.

Former Education Dean May Become College President
Dr. Raymond A. Kent Plans to Meet With Regents of Wichita U. Monday
Dr. Raymond A. Kent, at one time Dean of Education at the University of Kansas, has accepted an invitation to attend a session of the University of Wichita to meet March 2 with the possibility in mind of accepting the presidency of the university. Doctor Kent is at president's art acts at Northwestern University.
Doctor Kent came to Lawrence in 1916 and served as professor of education in the University and superintendent of the Lawrence city schools until 1920. This is much the same position as that held by Susie Harry P. Smith now. In 1921 Doctor Kent gave up his superintendent and became a principal dean of the school, education, and director of summer school. He left Kansas in 1923 to accept his present position at Northwestern.
Has Ph. D, Degree
Decor Kent is 43 years old, born in town, took his A. R. from Cornell in Iowa, A. M. and Ph. D. from Columbia.
Beisdes his work at the university, Doctor Kent is now associate editor of Social Science, a sociological magazine published at Chicago. He is the author of several books and articles, belongs to seven honorary educational organizations, and is a member of the Masonic lodge.
The fact that Doctor Kent has accepted the invitation to meet the regents does not signify that he will be elected to the presidency or that he will accept if elected. L. W Brooks, principal of Wichita high school, is a prominent independent of schools, are both enthail siaetie over his qualifications.
Meeting Is not Binding
Geology Head Makes Call
Dr. Moore Stops on Research Trip for Government

Doctor Moore makes his headquarters in Washington, D. C., and from there goes on trips of practical research. He left Lawrance Tuesday evening for Tulsa, Oka-, where he plans to attend the convention of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists which is being held March 24, 25 and 26. Several instructors and students of the University are invited.
When asked if he noticed any changes in the campus he said, "Every looks fine and I certainly can notice the improvements which have been added in the short time I have been away."
The following men were elected to the business staff of the University Daily Kaman at the meeting of the Kansean board Wednesday afternoon.
After the convention Doctor Moore plans to continue his research work in the Continental oil field which takes in parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. He said the work he had to complete would probably take him approximately a month at which time he plans to return to Washington and continue the work he has been doing there for the government. He said he did not think it was likely that he would attend the University on his way back Doctor Moore said he expected to continue his work during the summer.

Cabinet Approves Action of Asiatic Fleet Commander
President Expresses Faith in Admiral Williams in Long Session
Today
Washington, March 25—President Coolidge and his cabinet today considered the dangerous Chinese situation in an hour and a half session. They decided that no action from them was necessary; and they uphold Admiral C. S. Williams, United States fleet commander in Aniatic waters, and his daring conference, Admiral Duncan, who with nerve and cool determination have brought at least a temporary easing of the Nanking situation.
Coolidge Trusts Admiral
Coolidge Trusts Admiral President Coolidge will keep a directing hand on the situation, but he and his associates feel that able men are in control of the United States military forces. The admiral does not likely guardier the American possessions by untimely dooks.
The session was about three times as long as customary.
All dispatches from Nanking and Shanghai were given the President and were read for his advisers' information.
Secretary of State Kellogg, on leave the meeting, said that the cabinet has agreed to uphold Williams and Hough in their course in China and agreed that no action was required here.
Williams Has Free Rein
This means that Williams—and in turn Hough, were empowered to use their own judgment in dealing with the dangerous problems in Nanking, Shanghai and other Chinese cities where Americans are involved. It was an approval of the ultimatum to the Nanking to release the prisoners they had taken or suffer bombardment of Nanjing as a "military area."
Cabinet members were plainly援受 at word from Nanking reported during the session, namely, postpone-ments. The Cabinet of America comes out safely.
While recognizing the seriousness of the present situation and the pessimism of danger in the future, cabin members were included not to take too pessimistic a viewpoint for the moment.

University Commons Starts New Service for Students' Benefit
Short Orders at Odd Hours Brings More Business to Cafeteria
A new service was started last night at the Commons. In response to a student need, Miss Hazel Parks, director, is now serving dinner each day during the week from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
However, the cafeteria plan is not to be followed. "It was thought that serving would be more satisfactory to the students than the cafeteria style for the evening meal," said Miss Parks. A choice of two kinds of meat was available, but only for 10 cents. It will be possible to get extra salads and desserts.
"Business has been increasing since we started serving short orders during the day," said Miss Parks. "We are now serving nearly one hundred students during odd hours besides more than four hundred at regular offices." Students need to realize that they can get short orders any time they wish.
Miss Parks is handicapped somewhat, she says, due to the fact that she is not allowed to advertise. Nevertheless, the service has been improving. "We are aiming to fill a student need," Miss Parks said, "and we hope the students will appreciate and take advantage of our new service."
Karnival Managers Meet
Equal Number of Booths and Stunts to Be Given
The managers of the various groups for the K. U. Karnival to be given April 9, met last night at the Gamma Phi Beta school, to report if they were representing a stunt or a booth, and on how their work was progressing.
