Exhibits To Feature Model Tractors,
Window displays in downtown
store windows will open Engi
neer's Week Saturday.
An Open House will be held
Starting at 2 p.m. Thursday. Bob
Peterson and John Tombarge are
overall co-chairman for the an
nual event put on by students of
the College of Engineering and
Architecture.
BOB LOCH, window display
chairman, was in charge of se
curing " positions for downtown
displays.
At the Continental National
Bank the Engineering Mechanics
Department will have a display
of models .illustrating various
types of motion used in industry
today and mechanisms which ac
cuate these motions.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERS, un
der the direction of Lloyd Keller
and John Frost, will have their
display in the window of Miller
and Paine. The display will il
lustrate the E-Week theme, "En
gineeringIts All Around You."
SINCE EVERY model of gaso
line burning tractor which is sold
in Nebraska must, by state law,
be tested and approved by the
University Tractor Testing lab,
the Ag Engineers plan to use
model tractors to illustrate the
various types of tests a tractor
must pass before it can be sold
in Nebraska.
The display, on the east side
of Gold's, will show an actual
test in operation. Co-chairmen
are Wayne Wolf and Gordon
Kruse.
WITH ALL the emphasis today
on the atom and hydrogen bombs,
the Civil Engineers, under the di
rection of Lyle Tanderup and
Daryl Wood, will show just how
the city of Lincoln would be af
fected by such an attack.
Using for their example an 8X
bomb eight times as powerful as
the one dropped on Hiroshima)
the CE'i plan to show, by means
of a huge map, just how every
home and office building in Lin
coln would be affected. The
"ground zero" of the bomb blast
will be 27th and O Streets.
They plan to show scale models
of types of structures any home
craftsman can construct which
will protect its occupants within
300 yards of the bomb's exploding
point. This display will be in the
window of the J. C. Penny Com

McCarthy Methods 'Unusual'
WASHINGTON "Unusual"
in an attempt to get a commission for G. David Schine, aide to
the senator, testified Malor Gener Miles Rcber today. Reber
was called to testify in the McCarthy - Army row. The General
aid that in 10 years as Army liasion officer with Congress he
recalled no case where he was "put under greater pressure" than
he was in demands for the commission for Schine. However
Reber added that he was never "intimidated" by the senator.
Airlift Detour Demanded
WIESBADEN, Germany Prime Minister Nehru announced
that the American airlift of French troops enroute to Indo-China
would not be permitted to pass over his country. The airlift must
detour around India. ..,,.,
The new route for the planes has not been divulged. However
U.S. Air Force spokesman said that the "problem has been
very well solved." The route over India was a key link on the
normal air route to the Far East.
Murder Plans Upset
BONN, Germany A Russian attempt to have a man murdered
has backfired. Three Soviet agents who were sent to West
Germany on a murder mission gave themselves lip to u. b.
authorities and disclosed the plot to American counter-espionage
agents. Besides giving details of the plot, the three men also
revealed details of operations of the Soviet secret service. The

Famed Roman's
By LUCIGRACE SWITZER
Staff Writer
Ptolemy as a mathematician,
astronomer and geographer was
discussed by Dr. George Sarton,
emeritus professor of the history
of science at Harvard, in a lec
ture Wednesday.
The lecture, entitled "Ptolemy
(second century A.D.)" was the
second in the Montgomery Lec
tureship series on ancient science
and contemporary civilization.
The University Press will pub
lish a work on this subject bjj
Dr. Sarton later this year.
Filling in historical background,
Dr. Sarton stated that Ptolemy
lived in Alexandria during the
second century A.D. when it was
the center of Hellenistic culture.
The political background of the
country was Roman out ine cul
ture was Greek. Dr. barton
pointed out that it was necessary
to know this in order to under
stand why Ptolemy, living in a
period when Roman power was
at a peaK, wroie, as am me
other literary men of his day,
in Greek.
PTOLEMY DID not discover
or round astronomy, accoruinu
to Sarton, because a tremendous
amount of work in the field had
alrendy been done. Hipparchus,
in 3 B.C., had made studies from
which he could borrow freely for
ideas. "Ptolemy's value," said
Sarton. "was not only that he
was capable of great discoveries,
but that he was a great teacher."
"Ptolemy wrote not Just one,
but two and possibly three great
books." Sarton said. He went on
to explain each of these, their
subiect matter and the methods
by which Ptolemy made his de
ductions.
The first of these was "the Al
magest," a treatise on tistronomy
which had as Hi basis the idea
that the universe was geo-centric
centered around the earth. An
earlier astronomer "had had the
audacity to put the sun at the
center of the universe," Dr. Sar
ton said Jocularly, but Ptolemy
discorded this idea because there

ISGIESSQ
Background, Works, Theories Explained By Lecturer
were too few facts to prove it.
The reason for this, according to
the speaker, was that the, Greeks
were primarily interested in ex
plaining the natural phenomena,
and did not particularly Deueve
many of their theories.
IN "THE Almagest," Ptolemy
worked out a system of spherical-trigonometry
with formulas
much more complicated than
present ones. He did not use
conies or ellipses in accounting
for the movement of the planets,
but explained everything in
terms of spheres.
It was possible to account for
the movements of the planets in
this way because there was no
limit to the number of circles
you could use, Sarton explained.
At the time of Aristotle, he said,
43 spheres were used to account
for the movement of the planets.
Although he had wrong con
clusions, Ptolemy's work showed
his genius, Sarton explained In
addition to his formulas, he
worked out tables of chords
much more complicated than any
used today.
OTHER PROBLEMS with
which Ptolemy had to deal were
the position of the equinoxes and
methods of projection. Concern
ing the latter, Sarton said, "One
could not have found a better
met'iod for the purpose than his
stcreographlc projection."
Ptolemy's second great work
was a mathematical geography
in which he attempted to give
the location of approximately
8,000 places by giving their lati
tudes and longitudes. "The
method was excellent but he
could not apply It," Sarton said,
"because he had no means of
measuring longitudes."
At present, he explained, we
measure them through the use of
time differences and accurate
watches. "This requires a great
deal of knowledge which
Ptolemy did not have, not to
mention the watches," Dr. Sar
ton added.

geographer made, according to

Ray F. Morgan, assistant pro

to the National Advisory Board
of Kappa Alpha Mu, honorary
photo-journalism fraternity, dur
ing their national convention
Saturday.
OFFICERS ELECTED at the
convention will serve for three
years.
West Stadium photo-lab, the
film library, and the student
photo-lab in the School of Jour
nalism were established by Mor
gan. He retired from active com
petition in photo salons in 1940.
The convention also revised
the national constitution so that
Kappa Alpha Mu could become
a student affiliate of the Na
tional Press Photographers As
sociation. Bob Pinkerton, president of
the local chapter, Del Harding,
Ray Magorian, Peterson and
John Terrill attended the con
vention. the lecturer, was fixing the Can
ary Islands as his prime merid
ian because he thought they
marked the entent of the world.
"Of course," he commented, "this
made it much easier for Colum
bus when he wanted to sail to
China because it was a much
shorter distance in his mind."
The third, and disputed book of
Ptolemy is the "Quadripartitum,"
the first known treatise on astro
logy. "Many people believe that
he did not actually write it,"
Sarton said, but he added, "I
do not believe that. I think he
wrote it because it was dedicated
to the same man as his other
books and written in the same
style,"
It is not so difficult to believe
and understand that Ptolemy
could have written this work if it
it is remembered that the reli
gion at that time was an astro
religion. The people believed that
the stars represented the divine
world, he explained, rney Knew
that the world under the heavens
was temporary and changing, ine
stars, although they seemed to
move around always returned and
their presence had been recorded
for centuries. So, he said, the
Greeks believed that each star
contained one of the gods.
'IT IS this that 1 cannot quite
understand." Sarton stated. "It
is true that the presence of a
clockworks suggests existence of
a clockmaker, and I will agree
that the presence of the stars
suggests that there is a God. But
these astrologers put the gods in
the stars no one puts the ciocfc
maker in the luck."
The only alternative to astro-
religion, he explained, was .Greek
mythology or some of the Ori
ental religions, including Christ
ianity
"For this reason." he said, "I
can forgive Ptolemy for writing
it, but I cannot forgive tne people
who today believe in astrology."
Commenting on the great quantity
of books, magazines and charts
which are devoted to this sub
ject, he added, "Although the
United States is leading the world
in the world thinks so; everyone
except Americans, that is). By
a process of mathematics, logic
and moonbeams he devises the
McLonergan theory which re
veals the answer:
It is the magical soil of Fort
Knox that gives to gold phenom
enal qualities hitherto unsus
pected even by the gold itself.
IN ORDER to come to Amer
ica, Finian "borrows" a pot of
gold that provides the power to
make wishes for the mortals of
Ireland from gnomes and elves
and leprechauns.
This is the start of the fun.
Finian arrives in Rainbow Valley
with his daughter, Sharon, and
plants a pot of gold. The lep
rechaun comes in pursuit, utter
ing dire warnings of misery and
destruction. Wishes are made on
the pot of gold, and history veers
crazily from its path.

HE CONCLUDED his lecture
with a history of the translation
of "The Almagest" which was
translated through Arabic from
which the name is derived. After
explaining that the mistakes made
by Ptolemy in his astromony
were corrected much later by
Coperricus and later astrono
mers, he concluded that from the
point of view of learning any
thing about astronomy as a
science, these new discoveries
had made "The Almagest" ob
solete. Friday Sarton will speak on
"The End of Greek Science (Fifth
Century A. D.)."
