COMMENDS STUDY OF v MODERN LANGUAGES Professor Warshaw Says It Has Cultural and Commer cial Values. "There are more than 3,500 spok en languages and dialects, and wher ever these are spoken, Americans may be found. That is why it is in portant that Americans should study foreign languages," Prof. Jacob Warshaw of the department of mod ern languages told freshman lecture students of the College of Arts and Sciences, Monday evening and Tues day morning. The subject of his talk was "Modern Languages and the Educated American." "American business men are en terprising," he said. "They seek trade with other countries. They must know the language of the peo ple with whom they trade. They tannot transact business- deals by Baking signs." Courses in classical languages, Greek, Latin and Hebrew, have al ways been given in our colleges, atN fording to the speaker, but it was not until the latter part of the eigh teenth century that it became neces wy in some colleges for students to tudy modern languages when work ing: for a degree. " The studv of modern lanxruaces disciplinary, cultural and com mercial values. That is why it is obligatory in most colleges and Uni versities and it taught in high schools Jd in some grade schools," declared Professor Warshaw. Europeans, with the exception of e French, have always stressed the importance of studying the lan Pwges of neighboring countries, he ""d- In a country like Switzerland, "urrounded by countries that have Different tongues, it is necessary that e people know various languages. Most Swiss people learn German, "ench and Italian. Start Plans for. Engineers Dance The annual engineers dance, held 7.

T. 0, CLINGS TO LEADINGPOSITIQN Lead in Interfraternity Track Meet Is Cut to 493 Points. NO CHANGES MADE IN FIRST THREE PLACES Alpha Tau Omega's lead of 1252 points over Sigma Phi Epsilon in the interfraternity track meet was cut down to 493 in the mile run and the javelin throw yesterday. Alpha Tau Omega still heads the list with 13,103. Sigma Phi Epsilon is sec ond with 12,610, and Bushnell Guild is third on 11,576 points. Delta Tau Delta went up to fourth with 10,898. All of the fraternities slumped considerably and many men failed to qualify in the pointmaking divi sion. The highest number of points was made by Dickson of Bushnell Guild who ran the mile in 4:50 for 800 points. The last two events in the meet, pole vault, and 50-yard high hurdles, will take place this afternoon in three sections of 3:15, 4:15 and 5:15. The 5:15 section will be the last op portunity for delinquent fraternities to complete running in events in which they were unrepresented on the regular days. Bassett of Alpha Tau Omega came within 21 inches of equalling the rec ord in the 16-pound shot put Satur day, and made 988 points out of a possible 1000, the highest mark so far. The A. T. O. slump in the events run off yesterday gives the Sigma Phi Epsilon track men a chance at first. The Sig Eps made 800 points more than the A. T: O.'s yesterday, and if they do only little more half that good today they will win the coveted first place honors. The official results at the end of thej;enth event are: Alpha Tau Omega 13,103 Sigma Phi Epsilon ... 12,610 Bushnell Guild . 11,576 Delja Tau Delta : 10,898 Sigma Alpha Epsilon 10.7J34 Delta Upsilon 10,697 Farm House .'.. 9,982 Kappa Sigma 9,299 Phi Tau Epsilon a 8,947 Sigma Nu 8,853 Alpha Sigma Phi 8,480 Phi Kappa Psi 8,218 Acacia 7,540 Alpha Theta Chi 7,335 Phi GGamma Delta 5,155 Beta Theta Pi 5,216 Phi Delta Theta 4,030 Delta Chi 3,798 MOVE ALUMNI OFFICES TO TEMPLE BUILDING Increased Amount of Work Being Done Makes Change Necessary. The Alumni offices have been moved from room 106 in the Law building to the Temple building. The increased amount of work done thru the offices makes larger rooms nec essary. The new quarters include the large room in the northeast corner on the first floor of the building, and the small room next to it. All equipment and fixtures have been moved and decorators are refinish ing the rooms. The small room will be used as a mailing room. The large room will be used for the Alumni of fice and stadium headquarters.. A special feature of the new of fice will be the reception room for old grads. This will be a small room furnished with davenports, chair, and rugs and should be a comfortable place for the alumni to have their headquarters whenevei they return.

Produce Liquid Air Rate of Three (University News Service.) Liquid air, not unlike ordinary city water in appearance, was made or the first time on the campus of the the University March 31 and can now be produced for experimental pur poses at the rate of about three gal lons a day. . Thfs process, bv which atmospheric air is cooled to the point of liquefication, is an important step in research work on heat transfer and heat insulation at low temperatures, which in turn are important phenom ena in the manufacture of helium, the new gas so much in .demand to float lighter-than-air craft Work ing for the national defense, the U. S. Bureau of Mines has undertaken to produce helium in great quanti ties and at low cost. The machinery installed in the department of mechanical engineer ing of the University has nothing di rectly to do with the manufacture of Classes will be excused at 10:30 o"clock today, a parade will form at Twelfth and R streets, and stu dents will march to St. Paul church, Twelfth and M streets, to hear the first of the Sherwood Eddy addresses.

On Campus at Gallons per Day helium but will furnish data for de termining better methods of helium production. Prof. William L. De baufre, chairman of the department, who is in charge of the research work, is a member of the national board of helium engineers. Machinery consisting of a four stage compressor, electric motor, and a liquefier coil, was secured from the bureau of mines at no cost to the University and installed in the basement of Mechanical Engi neering building. So cold is liquid air (about 310 degrees below zero on the Fahren heit scale) that rubber dipped into it shatters when dropped on the floor, and steel becomes so brittle that in the tension test it snaps without a reduction. in area. At the temperature of liquid air, gasoline solidifies so that candles can be made out of it.
