Radical Metallurgy Innovation . . .
Industries Use Powder Metal Process
. . . Pro. W. F. Weiland Sees Possibilities
The most radical innovation in
metallurgy which has been intro
duced in the industries of the
United States is powder metal. The
process in powder metallurgy is to
take fine metallic powders and
press them into solid shape.

Thcse Surrealistic
Lapel Pins Create Fright
. . . Among Male Students
Has surrealist Dali gone into the
junk jewelry business? Or has
some ordinary man's bad dream
produced those grotesque lapel
pins that are today's campus
rage?
Things have come to the point
where a fellow can't even pass a
coed without having a one-eyed,
insipid looking donkey, or some
such thing, staring at him from
her coat lapel.
Dali: 'It's Logical.'
All of those things may have

Minnesota and Ohio State have
added new departments of powder
metallurgy. According to W. F.
Weiland, associate professor in
mechanical engineering, the uni
versity will not add a class to in
struct students in powder metals.
However, Professor Weiland re
marked that one or two ln:tures
have been given each semester
about powder metallurgy in the
course of Metalography. Professor
Weiland sees possibilities in pow
der metals but only in small parts
of machinery. He believes that
molton metals will predominate
over powder metals in the future
as they do now.
Very Porous.
The new General Motors and
Chrysler cars are equipped with
about 25 to 30 parts produced by
the new powder metal process.
Most of . the powder products are
often much cheaper than those of
fusion metals. To the naked eye
this metal appears like ordinary
metal. But it is much lighter and
is very porous, enabling it to ab
sorb a large quantity of oil.
The main reason the products of
powder metal are so small is that
pressures from five to 100 tons
per square inch must be applied to
produce the finished product.
Therefore, a four inch diameter
gear would require pressure as
high as 400 to 1,200 tons. The pres
ent presses in- use only have the
capacity of 80 ton.
With the application of heat at
the same time pressure is applied,

Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of the
college of pharmacy, who has
served as treasurer of the West

years, recently addressed the an

isters and elders which met this
year in Norfolk.
Dr. Lyman's address acquaint

ligious welfare of the university
students.
a perfectly logical interpretation.
That's what Dali says. Yesterday
a girl wandered in the Union
wearing a pin formed like a beau
tiful pair of feminine lips with
fingertips touching them. Asked
what it was, she scornfully ex
plained with much nonchalance
that it meant kiss the boys good
bye. And does anybody know what a
split heart with a bunch of grapes
hanging from it is supposed to
School of Fine

Music Recited
Five students took part in the
music recital held in the Temple
Theatre Wednesday. The program
was presented by the school of
fine arts.
First on the recital was a voice

Goldmark's "Air" (from the con
certo) on the violin. Playing the
piano, Dolas Okawaki presented
"Erotik" by Gnog.
Another voice number, "One
Fine Day," from "Madame But
terfly" by Puccini, was given by
Milrae Anuerson. Frances Kcrfer
also played the piano, presenting

the pressure needed may be re
duced. However, this particular
phase has not been completely de
veloped. Cold pressed powder
metals at the present time are not
very strong so that baking of the
product at temperatures well be
low their melting point is needed.
Because of the porosity of pow
der metals, an experiment has
been started to replace ribbons on
typewriters and clerical machines
with powder metal typefaces. The
porous typefaces will absorb ink
and then stamp it on paper.
Housewife's Worries Over
Corri-On-The-Cob Available
In New Wormless Varieties
. Following Ag Research
No longer will the housewife
need to worry about serving some
specimen of worm along with her
corn-on-the-cob.
Professor Tate, chairman of the
entomology department, has been
working with the horticulture de-
Dartment on this project tnis past
summer. The worm preventative
which has been discovered is a
mineral oil plus an insecticide.
This concoction is injected into
the tips of the corn e,ar just after
pollination has taken place, or
at the time the silks have begun
to turn brown and dry up. This
material acts as a barrier tp the
entering worms and as a poison
to those already present in the
ear of corn.
The solution is injected by the
use of an ordinary plunger type
oil can, or by a specially pre
pared applicator. Most dependable
results have been obtained by us
ing about one-fourth teaspoonful
or about 12 drops. The introduc
tion of too much oil into an ear
is likely to cause rotting, while
on the other hand too little ma
terial is likely to produce unsat
isfactory results.
Practice Profitable.
This practice has been proved
profitable if the infestation is 50
percent or over. In experimental
work this past summer 85 percent
undamaged ears while the un-
represent. And don't say the
grapes of wrath.
Green Eyes.
Or try some of these on your
harpsichord: a three-legged fish
with a white feather in its head;
an old shoe with a bunch of tin
cans tied on behind; a green eye
completely surrounded by ears.
Of course it is a lead pipe cinch
that this surrealistic stuir does
attract attention. And as a mat
ter of fact it looks nice, too. So
don't complain; just go quietly
crazy.
Nurcnbergs Wed
In Pennsylvania
Louise Eppinger and Porkey
Nurenberg were married Oct. 4 in
the Episcopal church, Chambers
burg, Pa., at 6 p. m. Mrs. Nuren
berg was a member of Gamma Phi
Beta and attended school here last
vear. as did the jrroom. He was a
member of Delta Upsilon.
The wedding took place one year
after their first date and they
planned the ceremony so that it
would be on that day.
The couple will live in Ponnsyl
vania where he has work as a con
struction engineer.
Three miles of pipe are re
quired for the heating system in

Defense Groun Chooses
Mary Kerrigan Chairman
Initial action by the university
national defense coinmitute oc
curred this week end when the
group of seven students, organized
to co-ordinate student activities
with the national defense program
elected officers and laid down an
activities schedule for the first se
mester. Mary Kerrigan, Nebraskan edi
tor, was named chairman of the
committee, and Morton Margolin,
Student Union board of managers
vice president and Nebraskan man-
treated fields contained only 25
percent undamaged ears.
It is quite necessary to use a
good quality of mineral oil so that
there will be no damage to the
ears. The cost of application is
from one to one and one-half
cent per dozen ears on small fields
and less than one cent per dozen
on larger fields.
The result of this "oiling up"
practice is a more attractive ear
of maize. If this practice were
followed, the continuous sorting
of corn in the market-place would
be eliminated and the dainty
housewife would no longer need
to worry obout touching this de
structive maggot that feeds upon
egetation.
