The unit consists of two steam turbines, two generators, a con denser and a control panel. It will be used in mechanical and electrical engineering courses for practical demonstrations of bssic theory. New Power Unit Added to ME Lab An educational unit power plant first major piece of equipment added to the Mechan ical Engineering lab since 1910 Is now being installed. The unit, which is specially made for universities, consists of two steam turbines, two genera tors, a condenser and a control panel. With this equipment it will be possible to simulate ac tual steam power plant practice. The new unit will add physical conception to the basic engi neering courses, particularly in the electrical and mechanical fields. Theory and fundamentals which were formerly studied through books and lectures can row be explained through dem onstration. Unit Small Scale The educational unit power plant Is designed to show on a small scale typical operation of all types of large steam power plants. The unit may be oper ated to demonstrate parallel op eration of both turbines and gen erators; cross compound turbine operation; superposed turbine operation; automatic extraction operation; and multistage turbine operation. The equipment contained in the unit plant is of the same hiEh quality rorin.il'y used in conventional large power plants. For example, the turbines are equipped with oil relay gover nors riesicned to hold constant speed under changing load con ditions. The generators are of the revolving field type, as larEe turbine operators are normally made. The condenser has been spe cially designed for this purpose end the operating problems en countered in normal condenser operation can be studied. Special Control ranel The control equipment has been designed as a compact, co cidinnted group of panels ar ranged for ease of operation. It Is located conveniently near the rest of the unit. The load absorbing equipment has been designed to simulate French Student Contributes To mew A J Unnnom tin PVPhflTlW .IdUUt; iiailllti-w, ....

He continued by comparing this with France, where academic learning plays the maior role. "American students siu'i.v much as French students but the pr-tire educational system in France is different," he ex plained. Hannezo plans for a position with some division of the UN when he leaves Nebraska. He mud however serve eighteen months in the French army in order to maintain his citizenship in that country.

Harding, law school student, has ben appointed chairman for the university cam pus of the Citizens' Committee for the Hoover Reports, accord ing to Robert B. Crosby of North Platte, the stale chairman. Harding will direct the educa tional program and other activi ties on the campus in behalf of the National Citizens Commit tee for the Hoover Reports head ed by Robert L. Johnson, presi dent of lemple university. After receiving his B.S. de gree from the State college at Kearney in 1942, Harding saw overseas service in the army for three years, taking part in three amphibious landings and earning eight battle stars. After the war Harding was a graduate student at Harvard uni versity for one year, was a mem ber of the speech faculty at Kearney State college during the succeeding year, and since 1948 has been a student in the uni versity law school. He is a mem ber of the Law Review staff and a member of Delta Theta Pi, law fraternity. During his under graduate work Harding was dis tinguished in debate and foren sic activities and he has held sev eral political party offices. The Citizens' committee move ment in behalf of the Hoover Re port is bipartisan, being sup ported by both political parties. IV U Grad Gains Fame as Artist Ben Bishop, January, 1950, graduate from the University School of Fine Arts has already achieved considerable fame as an artist. Bishop, 25, has taught at the Memphis Academy of Arts, and had a large group of his paint ings form one-half of a dual show in New York. In October, he presented a one-man show at the University art galleries in Morrill hall. A native of New York where he had one year of training at the Art Students league. Bishop rame to Nebraska in 1948. He also spent three years in the armed forces. In February, 1947, the art critic ! of the New" York World-Telegram found one of his paintings, "The Staircase," to be "excel- I lently designed, arresting in its bright clear colors and original in its use of ornamental pattern." j XU iNiilrition Prof; At Burma Meeting Dr. Ruth lexerton. nutrition professor at the University, ar rived Monday, Jan. 29 at Ran goon.

Nebraskans Work Cited In Ag Fields Two Nebraskans were recog nized as outstanding agricultur ists Monday at the University College of Agriculture Crop Im provement Day. Dr. F. D. Keim. chairman of the University agronny depart ment received an award for his "outstanding contribution to Ne braska agriculture in the field of agronomy." W. A. Steavenson of Fonta nels was honored as Premier Seed Producer of Nebraska. The honors were bestowed by the Nebraska Crop Improvement A-aiciation during the special crop day program. Dr. Keim has been a member of the agronomy department since 1932 and has been recog nized as a national leader in agronomy work for years. This is the first time the agronomy award has been pre sented by the association. Steavenson, president of the Washington county extension service, was a past president of the Nebraska Certified Hybrid Seed Corn Producers. The association said that Steavenson has distributed in 10 years enough certified hybrid seed to plant half a million acres. The "Premier" award is pre sented annually. Union to Show Basketball Films Would you like to see the Huskers' game with Kansas all over again? Two organizations, the Union and Athletic department have offered to make this possible next semester, by showing, free of charge, a number of the Husk ers' best cage games during the season. The first film which will be shown, will be the Husker-Jay-hawk thriller which wound 57 56, in favor of Nebraska. All pictures will feature only recent games and will probably be presented within a week after the game was played. HARVEY Biro's. For February 1950 With the beginning of a new semester.

(Coll DO NOT DESTROY Save This Calendar For Day to Day Reference ri r- f " - ' V!TY v i ,.. . . . t. , 'S patkipia Thomas University shows how you read a book from micro cards. The device is ex pected to provide more source material for University researchers, save money, and conserve storage space all at the same time. (U. of N. Photo.) Micro Reader Nw Addition To Love Library Facilities To expend its research source material and at the same time conserve book storage space, the University of Nebraska Love Me morial library has purchased one of the latest reading devices a micro library reader. Frank A. Lundy, director of the University libraries, says the card reader has several desirable qualities. First, it saves a "lot of money. Technical volumes, essential to research in various fields, come hih. For example, Beilstein's Handbook of Organic Chemistry, a 55-volume reference work for advanced chemistry students, markets for around $1,400 a set even if you can find one. The micro card reader, using 970 three by five inch cards, repro duces the whole set, page by page, for $194. Second, it gives space. Storage of the Beilstein series would re quire several feet of valuable shelf space. In contrast, the micro reader cards need only a few inches of drawer space. And storage costs arc important to laboratories. Lundy cites one study which contends even a small library of 5.000 volumes incure storage costs of almost $1,000 a year. Third, the micro card reader, unlike microfilm projection, can be used effectively in a fairly light room. This means the re searcher doesn't have to grope in the dark as he tried to take notes. Neither does he have to review a half roll of film before he comes to the section he wants to study. In operation, the micro reader is quite simple. The three by five-inch cards carry several tiny photographs of printed material. When the car is placed in the micro reader, the photographs are magnified greatly by lenses and mirrors, and the resulting enlarged image is projected on a screen in front of the operator's ese CaloiDGiair 2 Thursday Carnma Party.
