NEW EQUIPMENT Workmen bring the educational unit power
riant through the window of the Mechanical Engineering lab.
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

Stating his opinion about the
fuHire success of the UN, Han
rie70 said. "If people created a
Sfcond world organization after
the first League of Nations failed
in achieve its goals, they must
r.:-v felt that there was a genu
ine need for such an organiza
tion." .
The Frenchman, who arrived
Jn this country over a year a no,

Hp has been a graduate studr-nt
in economics for several months.
When afked about extra-curricular
activities on this campus,
H nne70 replied, "I think activi
ties make up about fifty or sixtv
per cent of lile on this campus."
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.

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.

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.

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

The micro card reader, Lundy
says, obviously will never replace
bocks or magazines but it does
have a good chance of taking
some of the headache out of th
