Applied Physics
Nature Acclimatizes
By Barbara Shuck
On a sunny day when it
was 10 degrees above zero
outside, Professor Theodore
Jorgensen's house was warm
even though his furnace was
off from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
His house, partially heated
by solar energy, keeps a con
stant 70 degree temperature
all winter long.
Jorgensen, a professor of
physics at the University of
Nebraska, and his wife de
signed and built their own
home.
They designed the eaves of
the house so that in the sum
mer the minimum amount of
sun strikes the large windows
which form the south wall of
the house. In the winter the
earth is at a different angle
to the sun, and the long rays
reach across the room, warm
ing it. On the shortest day of
winter, the maximum amount
of sun shines in their house.
Saves Heat
The windows have a double
pane which reduces the heat
loss. Air is a poor conductor
of heat, said Jorgenson, and
the air trapped between the
two panes of glass prevents
transfer of heat from the in
side to the outside.
Light passes through the
window and strikes a slate
floor which absorbs energy,
the energy is radiated from
the floor as heat. Under
neat the slate is a tile base
which won't conduct the
heat, so the heat is returned
throught the room. Because
the sun's light caused the
heat, the room Is heated by
the sun.
Professor Jorgensen chose
blue-gray slate for his floors
because it radiates and con
ducts heat well. He added
that it had housekeeping ad
vantages, too, because mop
ping was the only cleaning
necessary.
Under the floor lies one
half inch copper tubing filled
with water. This water is
warmed and helps to main
tain a uniform temperature.
The tubes are laid six inches
apart underneath the heated
area of the house. On a cold
day the temperature of the
water may rise to a little

The tubing is encased in
concrete on a base of hollow
tile. The hollow tile prevenis

When the temperature
drops below the desired lev
el, a thermostatically con
trolled furnace warms the
water, which is circulated
through the tubing by a
small pump.
Once the heat is inside the
house, it does not escape. The
house has a double brick out
side wall 10 inches thick with
an air cavity in the middle.
The cavity is filled with fiber
glass insulator.
Repell Heat, Too '
Under the roof Jorgenson
placed aluminum foil above
the rafters. In the summer
time it acts as a barrier to
help keep out the sun's heat.
The house can De cooiea

All measuring of ingredi

is done either in gram

graduated cylinder for li

Dr. Brooks explained. Ingre

once for exactness and each

this greenhouse he grows

the greenhouse so that
when he pauses in his work
he can tend his flowers.
Storage space, which holds
a "truckload" of things, ac
cording to Jorgensen, opens
off the porch. The storage
space extends into the garage
and the hood of the car fits
under the bottom of it.
"I utilized all the space,"
said Jorgenson.
The coat closet, which is
recessed in the all, fits into
storage closets-which line a
bedroom wall on the other
side.
"We have never really
filled our storage space," said
Jorgensen. Both bedrooms,

here is how much powdered

while stirring the bubbling
caramel mixture.
A problem involving dry
milk in biscuit and muffin
recipes is also being studied.
The girl working on this prob
lem expected that adding the
extra solids in place of liquid
milk will cause terrific tun
nels in muffins and cause
tough biscuits.
When she took them from
the oven, she noted the course

ordinary recipe.

same texture of the custard
but cut down the number of
eggs needed. She is making
her own brown sugar syrup
for the caramel flavor and
is using Carnation condensed
milk "because that is the only
brand available in the Philip
pine Islands," she said.
A honey-orange juice cake
is the aim of one of the home
economics majors in the
class. She is replacing the
sugar with honey and - the
milk with orange juice. Since
honey contains liquid, she will
try different amounts in place
of the original amount of su
gar, she explained.
Each girl is working with
one individual problem, but
the methods and experience
she gains in the process will
be valuable in her future work
with foods, said Dr. Brooke.
"Young Thesis"
This work is good training
in research, she said, for each
girl must write a "young the
sis" on what she has done.
This must include the result
of each day's work, a short
report on material written
about the ingredients she has
used, score sheets of each
sample, results and conclu
sions and a summary of her
work, Dr. Brooks said.
Students must have a chem
istry background to take this
course.
Dr. Brooks explained that
the class does not have
enough time to . repeat and
confirm their findings, but the
girls get satisfaction from
working out these problems.
A recipe may have two or
three variables, but only one
ingredient may be varied at
a time, Dr. Brooks said, or
ulthe- results cannot be ac
credited to a particular cause.

Education
Committed
To What?

known," Shapiro said, were
all students of the. humanities
as well as specialists.
According to Bates, the
time for specialization is
near the crux of the prob
lem. In the social sciences,
he said, "we don't expect
to be professionals without
graduate study." -With
the fellowships and
grants available today, Bates
said, almost any student who
can complete four years of
college can afford to stay in
school for graduate study.
Social science majors, ha
added, have as broad a lib
eral education as any Uni
versity students and often'
broader than majors in the
humanities.
"Second-rate Literature"
This i s partially due, ho
felt, to the fact that students
and professors of the "hu
manities may take social sci
ences as a second-rate liter
ature." The difference between
humanities and social sci
ences, he emphasized, is of
method more than materi
al: social sciences are based
upon the scientific method,
but deal with material more
common to the humanities.
But Bates does not see one
area of study as a substitute
for another. With Hobson ard
Shapiro, he agreed that no
one field is broad enough for
a liberal education to be
taken from it alone.
What Kind of Education?
The question remains
"commitment to what kind of
education?" How much
knowledge in one area should
we sacrifice, for how much
knowledge in another area?
Is an educated man one
with a broad background in
all the humanities and in the
sciences, as Shapiro suggests,
or one who is introduced to
the humanities and sciences
as well as his specialty and
shown how to obtain more
information for himself if he
wants it?
To what kind of education
should we be committed?
