THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Friday, April 23, 1948
Banquet
The evening banquet is the
climax of the Engineers' ' Week
events, and because only five
hundred tickets are available, the
banquet tickets are being limited
to students and faculty, thus mak
ing it a stag affair. This limita
tion will permit more engineer
ing students to attend the banquet
than would be possible otherwise.
At the banquet, besides the field
day and the Engineers Week
awards, the winners of the O. J.
Fee award, the Blue Print awards
and the Sigma Tau freshman
scholarship award will be announced.

Engineering
Mechanics
The EM department will illus
trate their work with displays of
drawings made by students from
all levels of drawing courses, il
lustrations of operation of blue
printing and black & white re
production systems with souven
irs for all visitors, and displays
of drawings and models of engi
neering kinematics and mechan
isms. Also on display will be va
rious drawing and lettering in
struments in operation including
the revolutionary new van
graph device.
In addition there will be many
exhibits of the EM department
operated by civil engineering stu
dents. These include special
demonstrations of the methods
and techniques of soil testing, a
working model of a typical con
crete plant, standard tests on ce
ment, samples of material from
each stage in the manufacture of
Portland cement, and a special
demonstration of testing machin
ery. One of the chief features will
be the operation of the giant
440,000 lb. hydraulic testing ma
chine which crushes large con
crete cylinders. Other testing de
vices will be seen examining the
torsion and ension of steel bars,
the compression tests on brick,
rnnrrpte. and wood, and impact
tests on automobile safety glass.
Mechanical
Engineering
Chief features of interest in
the ME lab will be the liquid air
demonstrations and the foundry
operation. All of the labs and
shops will be open to the public
and operated by students at Open
House. These include the machine
shop and demonstrations of pat
)prn making ihft nrwratine DOwer
lab, the metallography lab, and
the fuels and lubricants lab.
Spring Outwits
Inquisitive Cub
BY EARL KATZ.
What is Spring?
According to the dictionary
which lists 18 different defini
tions Springs is (1) A source of
water; a springing; a rising; (2)
Act of springing, rising suddenly,
jumping or the like as: a leap,
bound, jump, leaping darting.
Scoop, the rag reporter, was
baffled. Here it was Spring but
he had seen no evidence of stu
in the "act of springing or rising
dents on the campus or in classes
supddenly, jumping or the like
as: a leap, bound, jump, leaping
or darting?"
Was Webster wrong? Did the
dictionary actually err? These
thoughts passed sluggishly thru
Scoop's spring-feverad brain.
His Boss had told him to write
on Spring, but Scoop just didn't
have the energy. Spring fever
had set in. He sat at his type
writer trying to collect his wan
dering thoughts. (One thought
wandered over to the Union, an
other wandered over to the
Dorm.
Scoop was fighting a losing
battle. His head began to nod.
The dictionary fell from his nerv
less ffngers. That unknown quan
titySpring had overcome him.
When last seen by his friends,
Scoop's only comment on the sub
ject was z z z z z!
"May I ask what your son Is
doing?" one clubman asked an
otther. "But of course," was the reply.
"He's a naval surgeon."
"Goodness!" cried the first,
"how doctors do specialize!" L.
Duke Slohm.
DO YOU LEAD
A DOUBLE LIFE?
(Everybody does!)
And to make the transition easier. Arrow brings
ou that dual purpose shirt the Doubler, which
ooks as well without a tie on a golf court e as it
does with a tie for a dinner date.
Doubler is made in crisp Gordon oxford cloth, the
favorite fabric of American college men, and bears
the Sanforized label (assurance of le6S than Vc
shrinkage.)
Drop in aftrr clas and pick out a coupj? of Arrow
Douhlers. They come in white and blue oxford,
and are sized like regular fchirts. Trice $ 1.00.

Agricultural
Engineering
There will be an exhibit and
demonstration of agricultural ma
chinery with emphahis on a com
parison of the automatic wire tie
baler and the roto-baler. Also
there will be a demonstration of
tractor power, an exhibit of the
new "cub" and' "pony" types, as
well as the operation of the con
stant running power take-off
shaft. In addition there will be a
display on rural electrifiaction and
the diesel-electric generating sys
tem. Also there will be two mov
ies shown after dark: A feature
on soil conservation and a feature
on beet harvesting, an important
part of western Nebraska agriculture.
Military Engineers
The engineering students of the
ROTC have prepared exhibits to
illustrate their special field of en
gineering. There will be a display
of various weapons from small
arms, machine guns and other
automatic weapons, the 60 and 81
mm. mortar, up to the big 105
mm. howitzer. There will also be
exhibits of the various instru
ments used for fire control in
cluding the aiming circle, the 80
cm. base finder, the BC scope and
the plotting boards. In addition
there will be a display and dem
onstration of military signal com
munication equipment which will
include field phones, the BD-71
switchboard, and the SCR-300
radio system.
The U.S Army Engineers office
at Omaha is also represented by a
complete photo display of their
field work in the Nebraska Area
which clearly illustrates their im
portant work.
hibit, a movie on prospecting for
oil, exhibits on welding, on metal
spraying, operating motors, a
complete B-29 propellor assembly,
and numerous other displays lo
cated throughout the building.
Naval Engineering
The Naval ROTC has prepared
demonstrations and exhibits to
show the special character of en
gineering as applied to naval
problems. One display will be the
large gunnery exhibit of the fam
ous five inch naval gun complete
with director and computer, and
a demonstration of loading tech
nique for this weapon. There will
also be a 20 minute technicolor
film of the purposes and work of
the NROTC. Highlight of the dis
play will be a complete Sonar
trainer in operation. This is the
famous device used by the Navy
to detect enemy submarines and
other craft, a sort of under-water
radar. This equipment will be
operating and accompanied by a
short movie on a special Sonar
problem. Besides these exhibits
there will be demonstration nf
various navigational devices, in
struments, and methods.

ingenious gadgets and displays
jthat will attract attention, hold
tne interest, and at the same tinv
illustrate clearly the almost un
limited uses of electricity.
Highlights of the EE show will
be a system for writing your
name electronically on a cathode
ray tube, an electric organ, a
music-sensitive rainbow color
sign, and a continuously pouring
coffee pot. Also there will be
displays of generating machinery
in the power lab where the pub
lic will havs the ppportunity of
operating the machines I theni
selves, where they can test their
strength, get a personality analy
sis electrically, and try their hand
at synchronizing generators. In
addition to these exhibits theie
will be the curious tesla coil, ex
hibits of dial and mobile tele
phones, safety and burglar alarms
and a high frequency pop corn
