RDSEWILDE SATURDAY
First Year Students Will Cele
brate With Big Dance and
Fun Fest
The Freshman Fest comes Saturday
evening and don't Sou forget it! For
five and a half weeks the committee
in charge has been working its head
off running for the entertainment,
decorations, refreshments and every
thing i Iso that will go to make this
hop live up to the reputation and
high standard that lias been set by
past functions of the same kind. The
tickets are on sale by the Green Gob'
lins, the freshman class officers and
at the Student Activities office and
may he bought at $1.10 each. The
place is tiie Rosewilde and the time
is eight o'clock. Refreshments art
guaranteed aud the fine arts depart
ment will vouch for the decorations.
1 oe k i.io dance orchestra will fur
nish the music. As to the commutes
that is fixing up the details of the
event, it is made up of some of the
best members of the freshman class
for the purpose and the whole class
is back of Iheni and pushing for their
success. They are: Roy Randolph,
Helen Guthrie, Wilbur Peterson, Ma-lio-
Mi ("arty, Francis Sperrey and
Edith Replogle.
In past years this Freshman Hop
has been the main attraction of the
school year for the freshmen and has
held no mean interest for the upper
classmen. This time is to be no ex
ception to the rule, according to Wen
dell Bergo, the class president, as
telephone calls have been coming in
ever since the work was started be
fore aeation, for information con'
cerning the event. Wilbur Peterson,
who is taking a main part in selling
tickets, reports that they are going
fast and it is confidently expected
that all can easily be gotten rid of.

OR. STEINMETZ WRITES
111 FUTURE OF RADIO
Noted Electrical Genius Gives Out
Many Advanced Theories
Concerning Radio
"Although radio telegraphy is never
likely to replace ordinary telephon
ing bi tween two individuals, it is pos
sible that radio transmission will be
employed in sending toll messages
from city to city," says Dr. C. P. Stein'
metz. "Future developments in radio
may bring about some interesting dis
coveries, among thtm the establish
ment of the fact that radio waves pass
through the earth as well as through
the air.
"Now that we have radio in such a
high state of development, no place
need ever be out of communication
with the rest of the world. In times
of disaster, when other means of com
munication are cut off, when wires
are destroved. the radio can still be
used to Mnil messages to other places.

THE
Expeditions, traveling in distant lands,
in places where no wires havo ever
been stretched, can transmit messages
by radio. Communication by radio
at sia is of course, one of the great
possibilities, as we all know.
" We cannot expect that radio will
replace ordinary telephone communi
cation between individuals. It is not
possible to direct radio messages so
absolutely. Radio is too general, it
goes out over a large area, and oth'
ers - not everybody, but others coulci
hear the message as well as the per
son for whom it was intended.
Put radio might be used in sending
toll messages. A telephone subscrib
er might talk by wire with a radio
Central station in his city, and the
message which he wanted to send to
a far distant place might then be put
on the wireless from that station, to
be received by a similar radio cen
tral in the other city, and then trans
mitted by telephone to the person ad
dressed. "It is by broadcasting that radio
will perform the most service to the
nu.st people. Speakers can address the
nation at .large as was done with the
President's inaugural address; lec
turers can lecture to larger audiences;
college professors can be heard by
many who might not be able to take
regular college courses, or who, while
attending the classes of some profes
sors, would lose the lectures of others
elsewhere whom they might desire to
hear so that people might receive
some aspects of college training with
out leaving their homes; ministers
wight preach to many who are not
present at church; public information
might be sent out, as is already being
done.
"Radio is a very large subject, a big
thing, so that only those who have
studied it thoroughly can safely dis
cuss what may come of it in future
years. Obviously we are far from
having reached its limits of develop
ment." Personals.

DAILY NEBRASKAN
NEW CAPITOL TESTS
HANDS 0FJ1F. MICKY
University Professor Has Com
plete Charge of all Tests
on New Building
In the building of such an immense
and monumental structure as the new
Nebraska State Capitol -building is to
be, it is necessary that an exhaustive
study bo made of the exact soil con
ditions which underlie the site of the
new building. It wasleft to the en'
gineer to devise methods by which
this work could be accomplished. The
great responsibility of supervising
this work was given to Professor
Clark E. Mickey, head of the Civil En
gineering department of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
Under his direct supervision and
with the able assistance of H. Glover,
a graduate civil engineer of the uni
versity, thorough tests were made of
the various formations underlying the
nw site.
In order that the structure Rh-"
stand intact for years to come it was
necessary to determine the nature
and size of the foundations to be used.
Whether the foundation could be safe
ly built on the top soil or whether it
would be necessary to go down to
the sandstone layer which lies about
lil'ty feet below the surface. Had a
greater study of the soil conditions
been made before the present biuld
ing was e. reeled, it would still be safe
and could be used for many years
more. But as it is the foundation was
weak and.it is today a menace to the
people who have to work there.
In the making of the tests Professor
Mickey had a great many test holes
drilled and the kind of the underlying
soils carefully determined. Then an
excavation about thirty'two feet
square was made on the southeast
corner of the grounds and in this
hole the various bearing tests were
made. At seventeen feet below the
surface cn an area of sixteen square
feet a bearing power of 7.9 tons a
square foot was found. The soil at this
point is of a loess clay foundation.
The hole was then deepened and tests
made on the underlying bed of sand
stone which at this point is about 47
feet below the surface. On a bearing
surface of one square foot a load ol
03.2 tons was placed before failure.
On another area of 4 square feet a
load of 94.4 tons a square foot was
placed before the rock gave way. The
loading for the various tests was ac
complished by piling up rails which
had been brought in from the Burling
ton shops at Havelock, these being
placed on an ingeniously arranged
column made for this purpose.
Edwin S. Jarret, a New York en
gineer, who designed the foundations
for the capitol building, said in clos
ing a letter to the capitol commission:
"There is no question but that the
co'op-eration of Mr. George E. John
son and Professor Clark E. Mickey
with the foundation engineers and the
efficiency which resulted from that
co-operation and the use of the facili
