Friday in the campus campaign.
"We were very pleased with the
University response," Roger I.
Larson, assistant managing direc

turnout was excellent."
Car bumpers were washed,
dried, and given a 5 to 6 foot
strip of the tape for a fee of $1.
The reflective tape reduces
night-time accident rates and
draws attention to parked cars.
The tape is produced by the same

To Leave NU
"I'm awfully sorry to leave
University life," Mrs. R. G. Gus
tavson said in a Daily Nebraskan
interview after the news of her
husband's resignation as chancel
lor of the University was released.
"I'll miss attending the meet

"But I am happy and proud
that my husband was selected for
his new job," she continued. "As
his wife, I'll be glad to go any
where his job takes him. It will
be fun and a new experience for
both of us."
Mrs. Gustavson, who came to
Lincoln with her husband more
than eight yeas ago, has been
active in the Sorosis Club and
Lotus Club here and also is a
member of the Board of Child

From 1920 until 1943 he was a
member of the chemistry staff at
the- University of Denver, becom
ing head of the department in
1937. In 1942 he became Dean of
the Graduate School at the Uni
versity of Colorado, and served
as president of the University
from 1943 to 1945 when he ac
cepted the vice presidency and

policies and operational costs of

In 1948 he was decorated by the
Swedish government for his work

he added, may be classed as sec
ondary and primary rays, with
the secondary rays easily studied
at ground level and the primary
only detectable at extreme am
tudes.
In closing the symposium, Prof.
Edward J. Zlemmerman said the
exact nature of the primary rays
are unknown, but experiments
indicate that they come toward
the earth equally from all di
rcctions and are fragments of
atoms.
He said they travel at very high

Discussing how cosmic rays'll AATmJ

ago scientists first sought an ex
planation for a slight rcsiduul
electrical effect in air that could
not be attributed to radio-active
rays. "They found," Bade ex
plained, "after carrying electro
scopes to great heights with man
ned balloons, that rays similar in
some respects to rays from radium
were coming Into the earth's at
mosphercf rom above. These rays
of unknown origin were named
cosmic rays."
Prof. Robert L. Chasson told
the audience that one of the big
gest problems of the cxeprimenter
is the constant improvement and
refinement of his instruments
used for looking at the rays.

Part Of Job
For Engineers'
University Engineering students
were told Friday that when they
accept positions in industry they
can expect, in addition to tech

activities which may well deter
mine their future success.
Louis Lundstrom, assistant di
rector of General Motors Proving
Ground at Milford, Mich., said
at u convocation Friday that suc
cessful participation in these ac
tivities requires more than the
application of slide-rule engineer
ing. By self-training, the engineer
must develop the ability to work
with people and to successfully
arbitrate differences in opinion,
he added.
Lundstrom listed these extra
curricular activities which the

to apply their mental gifts to the

Dr. Walter K. Beggs, professor

that the gifted mind may find it
easy to revolt in its everyday re

there are the Wilson cloud cham

He demonstrated the Geiger

"While an average mind can
