Soil-Strength Tests
H. A. Karo, senior civil engineering
student, is supervising a completu
series ot soil-bearing strength tests
the result of whlc.li will be used in
designing the foundation footings for
the new Memorial Stadium. Mr. Karo
is under the direction of Prof. C. E.
Mickey of the Department of Civil
Engineering. Mr. L. P. Seaton, pur.
chasing agent for the University, is
handling all labor and material util

The first test was completed last
Saturday. About three more tests
will probably be run before a report
is made, Professor Mickey said. The
first test hole is Just north of the

THETA SIGMA PHI
HOLDS CONVENTION
National Honorary Journalistic
Fraternity for Women Will
Meet at Norman in
April.
(Special to The Nebraskan)
The annual convention of Theta
Sigma Phi, national honorary and
professional fraternity for women,
will be held April 26- 27, and 28, this
year at Norman, Oklahoma. Zeta
chapter of the sorority will be hostess
organization for the convention. Leata
Markwell is Nebraska delegate
Norman is centrally located for the
convention with reference to the geo
graphical center of both the United
States and a Theta Sigma Phi chap
ters. Its location on the Santa Fo
plus interurban connections out of
Oklahoma City as a railroad center
make Norman easy of access from
Till parts oi' the country.
The school of journalism has been
established in the University of Ok
lahoma since 1013 and it now has a
class A rating. Owing to the rapid
growth of the school of journalism
here has become a need for a build
ing, which may becyno a reality as
there is now. a bill in the present
session of the legislature asking ap
propriations for such a building. E.
S. Bronson, publisher of the El Reno
American, has offered $10.00 and a
valuable Indian collection on cond -tion
the bill passes.
Besides a friendly feeling there is
a close co-operation between the Zeta
chapter and Sigma Delta Chi, men's
professional journalistic fraternity in.
e University. Sigma Delta Chi held
its annual convention in Norman in
1921 and Theta Sigma Phi helped en
tertain. The wee'; of the Theta Sigma Phi
o'-vriiMn-i is also Journalism Week
at the University of Oklahoma, and
many journalistic actrvir.es are sched
uled for that ween. Zeta chapter will
publish the April number of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma Magazine, which
will be distributed at the convention.

The first issue of "The American
Student," a magazine devoted to
news of the high school and college
world, has appeared. According to
iif editors of the magazine, it is a
non-political, non-partisan and non
sectarian organ, whose aim "is to en
courage and inspire excellence and
interest in school work and to forge
a chain of news Interest which shall
link together the parent and teacher;
the school and the home."
The contents are made up of eleven
departments which cover the whole
field of college life. The first is made
up of five feature articles, the lead
ing one called "Making Good at
Night," tells of the Englewood Eve

of Chicago in which there are over
five thousand students enrolled.
There is also an article by Henry M.
Daugnerty, Attorney General oft he
United States, on "The Individual
Citizen's First Duty."
The next department entitled,
"Happenings in the Colleges" con

Dr. Anderson to
Give Lecture on
Popular Chemistry
The next number of the weekly
lectures on "Popular Chemistry,"
sponsored by Alpha C!ii Sigma, will
be held in the general lecture room
of the Chemistry' Hall, Thursday,
March 22, 1923. Dr. Anderson will be
the speaker at this meeting. He is a
professor in the Department of Chem
istry at the University. His subject
will be "Absorption Phenomona."
These lectures are open to the pub
lic and are of a nature to be inter
esting to everybody, whether students
of Chemistry or not. according to
members of the fraternity. Absorp
tion plays an important role in the
purification of various materials says
Dr. Anderson who will illustrate his
lecture with experiments along this-line.
0I1S LECTURE
ON CHEMISTRY
TO EWERS
Professor Frankforter Outlines
Uses of the Pure Science
in Peace and War
Monday.
ATOM STRUCTURE STUDIED
Application of Chemical Princi
ples in Various Industries
and Enterprises
Explained.
Chemistry, the pure science, and
Its applications in peace of war was
the subject of Prof. C. J. Frankforter,
of the Department of Chemistry, In
his speech to freshman engineering
students Monday at 5 o'clock in M.
E. 206.
"A great and varied manufacturing
power is highly useful in a national
emergency" declared Professor Frank
forter. "Chemistry is necessary to
every scientific activity of man. Ap
plied chemistry is of very vital Im
portance to our everyday life, but
the industrial, problems unless they
have been first observed and worked
out. by the pure chemist."
A knowledge of pure chemistry Is
essential before industrial applica
tions can be made, Profesor Frank
forter emphasized. The men who
evolved many of the chemical theor
ies that are now of so much import
ance had only meager experimental
data to work with. The deep think
ing they had to perform classifies
tneir work as a high grade of phil
osophy, he stated.
Engineers with a working know
ledge of chemistry and chemists with
a practical knowledge of engineering
are now being graduated by colleges,
he pointed out in comparing the pres
ent courses of study in chemistry
with those of the old schools. It was
once possible for a chemist to keep
hinself informed on progress in all
branches of chemistry. One does well
now to know, thoroughly, one branch,
and to keep in general touch with
the others, he affirmed. Today the
strictly up-to-date industrial organ
ization has a research department
with engineers and scientists of all
kinds, and other specialists, whereas,
once the chief chemist in an indus
trial plant might be a man with no
great knowledge of theoretical chem
istry. "The atom was formerly defined
as the smallest unit particle of any
element that it is possible to obtain.
The size and structure of the atom
was a matter of considerable doubt,
not so many years ago. It was
known that molecules were aggrega
tions of atoms, but their exact ar
rangement was not clearly under
stood. A branch of chemistry but
recently developed, is subatomic
chemistry in which the interior struc
ture of the atom is studied. It is
known that uranium and radium are
i spontaneously decomposing elements
whose atoms are actually disintegrat
! ing, and some day may be able to
break up the atom at will. A tem
perature of 20,000 degrees Centi
grade, 3G.0O0 Fahrenheit, is estimated
to be t'.iat necessary to disintegrate
a tungsten atom, and the man who
Ji ! it, thought he obtained helium.
That wil be known more definitely in
the future."
One one-hundred thousandth of an
i:f.U t!i.' diameter of the smallest
particle visible to the microscope,
Professor Frankforter averred. Col
loidal particles of gold sixty-eight
billionths of an inch are measurable
with fair accuracy In the ultra-moc-roscope.
This particle Is about thirty-four
times the size of the hydro
gen molecule. Professor Frankforter
described the principle of the ultra
microscope as fellows: fine dust in
the air is not usually visible to the
naked eye; but when a beam of sun
light falls from a narrow opening
into a darkened room these dust par
ticles are clearly discernible; the ultra-microscope
utilizes this fact. As
an illustration of the comparative
size of atoms. Professor Frankforter
gave this example: if an ordinary
drop of water were magnified to the
size of the earth, the atoms in it
would be somewhere between the
size of BB shot and baseballs.
The industries in which chemistry
plays the most Important part were
then enumerated by Professor Frank
foiler with brief comments on the
way la which chemical principles are
