ANNUAL DISPLAY
OF ENGINEERING
Crowd of Students Flock to

At Campus
WORK IS DEMONSTRATED
Each Departmeat'i Special Field
' Of Activity Shown
To VWitora
Engineers' Night, the open house
of the Engineering College to the
student body and the general public,
was held Ustevening, from 7 to 11
o'clock. All Engineering buildings
were open and departments demon
strated the work in their particular
field.
In the Mechanical Engineering
Building spectators were shown the
different steps in the building of an
engine.
The initial step was shown in the
wood-working shop where the pro
cess of pattern-making was explained.
The making of castings was demon
strated in the foundry where metal
was melted and poured into molds
The machine shop showed the last
step where the finished and assem
bled machines hummed.
BmiH by Stedeata
Several of the machines in this
laboratory were built by the students.
Many souvenirs were made and
i wv dnrinc the evening. The
wood-working department presented
each visitors with a U. f N. button.
Rings were made on one of the ma
chines in the machine laboratory and
were greatly in demand.
In the east laboratory on the main
floor demonstrations were made of
steam engines and steam turbines as
well as the 125 horse-power cross
compound Corliss engine, A ten-ton
ice machine was demonstrated.
Light Plant
A demonstration of the small but
complete light plant was given. This
plant guards, the laboratory against
the possibility df being plunged into
darkness if the large University
plant should at any time fail.
The hydraulic erMi"t proved
to be a fascinating exhibit. In this
Amjvnctraijnn was explained the
method of securing the same condi-1
tions in the laboratory as are met
in the building of large dams in the
engineering field. The scales whicr
measure the amount of water going
through the supposed dam are capa
ble of weighing 200,000 pounds an
bow.
Liquid Air J
A most unique exhibit was shown
in the making of liquid air, in the
Bureau of Mines laboratory. Liquid
air registers a temperature of 310
degrees below zero. Experiments
were made to show the intensity of
this temperature. A rubber ball
dropped in the liquid when bounced
immediately broke into many smal1
pieces. Kerosene and gasoline were
frozen during tbe evening.
In the metallography laboratory
the imperfections in metals were
shown sudor magnified microscope
lenses. Here also were shown pieces
of metal onder one machine which
magnified them three thousand times.
The Electrical Engineering Build
ing was full of all sorts of cracking.
and lightning-splitting machines. One
machine transformed an electric cur
rent from 220 volts to 150,000 voltr
when passing through it
Electrical CarreaU Pictured
A demonstration of the Oscillo
rraph was made during the evening.
This machine takes a picture of the
fcliape of an electrical current.
The Communications Laboratory
showed the working of the high fre
quency transformer. On the north
-wall of this room was a mass of
wires which visitors were told was
the equivalent of two hundred miles
of telephone lines.
At the entrance of the Mechanical
Arts Euilding was a small reproduc
tion of a 65-foot reinforced concrete
arch highway bridge of Luten design
It was one-twentieth the actual siase;
built by E. E. Lundquiwt, 28, and S.

When the inspection work is well
under way the booming of light field
artillery will resound over the Ne
braska campus as Captain Huskea's
classes in the howitzer and accom
panying weapons go through firing
exercises for the inspectors. The
final practice drill was staged yester
day afternoon, when the 87 milli
meter guns, commonly called one-
pounders, were fired several times on
the drill field.
Drill in firing operations of the
machine guns took up part of the
junior's time yesterday, while anoth
er detachment of seniors practiced
with the light mortars.
Examiaatioas
According to the tentative program
drawn up by Commandant Jewett,
tbe theoretical examinations will all

PLAYERS OFFER
MYSTERY STORY
"Spooks" Will Be Given To
night at Orpheum Thea
ter; Twice Saturday
LEGION IS IN CHARGE
The University Players, under the
auspices of the American Legion, will
give their first presentation of the
mystery play, "Spooks," tonight at
the Orpheum theatre. The play will
be repeated Saturday afternoon and
evening.
It is one of the new plays of 1925.
This is its first appearance west of
New York City. "Spooks" is not
only a mysterious masterpiece but
also a piece of fine comedy with a
romantic theme which runs through
the entire action. The story travels
at an increasingly fast pace.
Hoaaa f Dead Maa
The action takes place in the house
of a dead man at midnight. Four of
the heirs are bound to spend three
nights in tbe bouse of their donor in
order to get the fortune.
If any of tbe heirs refuse to re
main for the three nights, his or ber
share is to go to those who stay. If
all of them are frightened sway, then
the property is to be divided between
the old secretary and a colored ser
vant who is deaf and dumb. If
either of these two die, the other in
herits all the property.
The moment tbe heirs arrive into
the bouse, mysterious happenings
take place.

Cloca Competition la
Expected
Nebraska's twenty-fourth annual
interscholastic track and field meet
opens this afternoon in the Stadium
at 2 o'clock with over 700 athletes
representing eighty-one schools. , Fi
nals in all events will take place at
the Stadium tomorrow starting at 2
o'clock.
Three distinct championships are
to be awarded, the Group I champ
ionship for schools with an enroll
ment of less than 150, the Group n
championship for schools with an en
rollment between 150 and 300, and
Group III championship with an en
rollment over 300.
Largest Entry List
With the largest entry list ever
and point-winners coming from every
section of the state, picking winners
for the meet is almost impossible.
Close competition is expected in all
classes with the points well divided.
If the weather is fair tomorrow, a
number of track records are expect
ed to f alL
Trumble, of Cambridge, set a new
high hurdle record last spring and has
been consistently beating his own
record in meets this season. The re
cord is now 15.6 seconds and he has
been running it in 15.2 seconds.
Keiss, of Grand Island, holder of the
low hurdle record, has been clipping
the barriers in fast time and is fast
enough to be a dangerous contender
for a record in both the hurdle races
It is unfortunate that tbe two will
not face each other as Cambridge if
in Group II and Grand Island In

- Another burlder who should not
be overlooked is Larriston, ol Cam
