Fourteen Named To Membership In Pi Kappa Lambda

The gyro pilot has been under
the direction of David Cook, as
sistant professor of Mechanical
Engineering.
All the parts used to make the
gyro pilot have been made from
war surplus equipment, Cook said
in an interview Wednesday.
Its oumose is to illustrate the
use of the gyroscope in establish
ed direction stability, Cook saia,
and thereby a fixed flight refer
ence for an airplane as it moves
through space.
The various units mounted on
the model are the actual units used
in a B-29 airplane, he said.
Measurements
The model plane has a wing
span of about seven feet and about
eight feet long. The engineers have
been working on the model for
about four months.
The gyro pilots were used dur
ing the war to increase the ac
curacy of precision bombing and
they are in use today in commer
cial air liners to provide a smooth
er and safer ride for air travelers.
"An automatic pilot will main
tain an airplane on a set course
without the aid of the human pilot
and will do so more effectively
"If a sudden movement of air
'cause's the airplane to deviate from
its course," Cook added, "the auto
pilot will move the control sur
faces on the wings and tail in such
a way as to correct the deviation."
During the period of operation,
the model is moved with an oscil
lating motion by the table on
which it is mounted, he said, and
this motion represents the devi
ation of an actual airplane from a
set course.
j Sets Course
! "As the nose of the airplane
drops, the automatic pilot causes
the elevators on the tail to move
up. This movement in an actual
airplane would cause the air
stream passing over the tail sur
face to force the tail down, re
turning the ship to level flight.
' "As the airplane banks or turns
off its course, the automatic pilot
causes the elevators and rudder
to .move. This movement would
correct the deviation in an actual
less of the movements of the sup
porting framework.
This property, unless modified,
renders the gyroscope useless as a
navigational instrumei. cn fm
earth, ho continued, b'cause the
gyroscope has no respect for wen
the earth's rotation.
"Fortunately, means have been
devised to compensate for the
earth's rotation and in the vertical
flight gyro the axis of the spin al
ways points toward the center of
the earth."
Control Panel
There are three identical servo
units mounted directly behind the
gyro, he said, and are connected
by means of flexible steel cables
to the rudder, elevators and ailer
ons. The autopilot control panel
is mounted on the nose of the
model, he continued, and it en
ables the human pilot to adjust
the operation of the automatic
pilot to the 'light characteristics
of the airplan': in the engaging
procedure.
"Although the model was con
structed to show an application of
the principles of mechanics to
gyroscopic motion in three .dimen
sions in space, it could also serve
other purposes.
"It could be used to explain the
operation of an automatic pilot to
human pilots and to train them in
the engaging procedure, and it is
an illustration of how the differ
ent branches of engineering are
not separated but are interwoven
in the design of a complex ma
chine." The Mechanical Engineering de
partment is also demonstrating a
gyro car for E-Week in a down
town window display. Cook said,
"We have built several gyro cars,
but this is the first one that really
works."

ORGANIZED HOUSES
College Students Acquire 'Mother-Away-hom-Home'
By WILLIE DESCH
Staff Writer
Mothers are an important fea
ture in every home. Most young
people don't realize just how im
portant their job is until they
have their own homes. And they
don't miss a mother until she isn't
around to run after their every
move and direct their conduct.
College life is a good test on
real dependency for mothers. Col
lege students often times become
homesick and misdirected in their
first few weeks or first year at
college. However, in college life
every student who lives in an or
ganized house or a dormitory
gains a new mother who is al
ways there to be your "mother-away-from-home."
Students don't actually realize
the full-time job a housemother
has and just how busy they keep
themselves at all times.
The day of a housemother be
gins early in the morning and
they are on the go constantly
until late at night and all their
"children" are well taken care
of, both physically and mentally.
A sorority housemother says
"we run the house like a happy
home, and when everyone pitches
in we get something accom
plished." "Every day some counseling is
needed for those girls whose feel
ings are hurt or they have some
problems."
'I believe a mother makes a
good housemother because she
realizes the problems of the girls
from experiences gained when
she was raising her own children.
Also I think a housemother will
gain respect from the girls by
showing them respect and under
standing." The duties of this busy little
housemother consists of mainly
ordering food for meals, plan
ning meals, hiring all help, see
ing that all repairs are made
and that the house is rlean,
serving as a hostess of the house
at all times and attending to the
needs of the girls.
One of the social events house
mothers attend is "Chaperone's
Club" which meets once a month.
The housemothers of all the fra
ternities, sororities and all organ
ized houses meet for a dessert
luncheon. Entertainment for the
afternoon is comprised of bridge
and music or they have a guest
speaker. The last meeting of the
year will be a luncheon at a down
town hotel..
A pet peeve of housemothers is
that they often times are called
"chaperones." "This is misleading
because chaperones do not trust
young girls and housemothers
usually do. Girls are more apt to
do guilty things if they know they
are not trusted," she said.
"I love it!" exclaimed a frater
nity housemother of 20 years. "I
have a son and a daughter and I
feel towards these boys as my
very own children." This is my
home and the fun the boys have is
my fun also. I try to help them all
I can."
She was a housemother for a
nurses home during the war years
because the houses were closed
but she came back because she
claims "I like boys better because
they don't complain so much."
The big thrill for this house
mother is when her boys come
home from the service and visit
her. She receives many letters
from her boys in Korea and
spends much of her time writ
ing to them. At one time she
was corresponding with G5.
Like any mother, she is very
proud of her boys and is "excited
when they win at any event."
The duties of "Moms," as she
is called by the boys, consists of
dai'y conferences with the cook for
mea. -planning, and managing the
food, and being responsible for the
success of the parties. One thing
she especially likes is meeting the
boys' dates.
The courtesy of the boys and
the understanding and response
they show are qualities she ad
mires about the fellows.
In her free time "Moms" at
tends "Chaperone's Club." enter
ftiins her own Sewing Club, and
goes to the various teas to which
she is invited.
Traveling is the hobby of this
housemother and quite well it
should be as she has a son in Ma
nila whom she has visited. For the
,past three summers she has been
on the Stanford campus in Cali
fornia. "I never have a free sum
mer and this summer I think I
shall be on Ihe coast again," she
said.
"Money can't buy what you get
for being a housemother," the
fraternity housemother concluded.
