Chicago Professor And NobelPrize Winner Is Brother Of

Institute President

Dr. Arthur H. Compton, professorof physics at the University of Chi-cago, and brother of Karl T. Compton,president of the Institute, addressedthe scientific meeting in connectionwith the dedication of the GeorgeEastman Research Laboratories oIPhysics and Chemistry at the Insti-tute yesterday afternoon on the sub-ject of cosmic rays. Dr. Compton di-rected the world-wide survey of cos-mic radiation undertaken during thepast year, and in 1927 was awardedthe Nobel Prize for Physics.

He said in part that a rapidly grow-ing aspect of the study of cosmic ray sis their use as a tool for the investi-gation of the structure of the atomicnucleus. The most striking result of

Technology Light Boat Wins InRecord Time Over

Henley Distance

With the excitement and turmoil ofthe Compton Cup Regatta past, Tech-nology's oarsmen are settling down tosteady practice to mnake up for timelost during the bad weather of April.The 150-pound boat needs only a fewmore practice sessions to make it intoa real championship crew, as is thecase with the freshman heavy.

As was expected, the Tigersbrought the Compton Cup to Prince-ton. It was presented to CaptainBrewster Smith, by President Karl T.Compton, for whom the new trophyis named, immediately following thereturn of the victorious boat. ThePrinceton oarsmen then dropped theirmascot, a little red devil, into the cupand rowed upstream. The Tiger's re-turn home was a triumphant march,laden down with the spoils which be-long to the victors.

Vanquished Lose ShirtsAs is the usual custom, the losers

xxere deprived of their shirts, whichwere given to the victors. Last nightthe freshmen's shirts were collectedby one of the managers and mailedto Princeton.

In spite of this, orperhaps because of it, it is the mostappealing and certainly the oanly uni-versally appealing performance everstaged.

What causes this undyring popular-ity? Why is it that audiences arewilling to sit through the same showvyear after year? Perhaps there is somuch to be seen that it cannot all betaken rin in one sitting. Perhaps thereis a deeper and more fulldamental rea-son. Perhaps it is man's innate Il-veof a brig, hearty, and wholesome laugh.

ATOM "SPIN" INV-OLVED

Predicting that fascillatillg newfields wvill be opened up by the isola-tion of the newly discovtered isotopeof hydrogen, Professor Gilbert N.Leiv-is, Dean of thle College of Chem-istry at the U~niversity of California,described his experinaents which ledto tlle preparation of a heavrier waterat the Northleastern section meetingof the American Chemical Societylast Saturday in Roo-m 10-250.

The preparation of the hydrogenisotope is intimately bound up withthat part of the atomic theory relat-inlg to, atomic spin which has recentlyattracted great interest from physi-cists, according to Professor Lewis.

Research on the isotopes of lithiumwas initiated a year ago, but led tcnegative results. Tlle existenlce of ahlydrogen isotope in the water remain-ing from electrolytic wsas suspected,and an appzaratus measuring the dens-ity of water to one part in a millionshowed an increase of thlirty-fourparts per million over the density7 ofordinary- water. Thlis phlene-mena rvasaccounted for by thle ability, of: ordiii-ary lydrogen tc pass o-ut off water in

electrolysis faster tllal thle isctop~e, afact tllat has yet to 1be ex-olained byquantuma rechimlics.

The object of the contest is to givethe entrants an opportunity to pre-sent original ideas in such a manneras to give them practice in expressingthemselves professionally in the fut-ure.

The papers will be judged on thebasis of (1) scientific interest and ac-curacy, (2) clearness and correctnessof statement, (3) logical developmentof the subject, and (4) correctness ofspeech, proper use of voice, clearenunciation and general style of de-livery, including stance and the abil-ity to command and hold the interestof the hearers.

The Senior Picnic will not be heldthis year because of the lack of inter-est displayed in the past. The Ban-quet will retain the best features ofthe picnic, and will be informal. Theclass will not be held too strictly incheck with respect to noise and mer-riment. The Senior Prom will be heldin the Main Ball Room of the Brad-ford Hotel, on June 6. The ticket forthis function alone will cost $7.50, andrepresents a reduction of $1 over lastyear's price. The blanket ticket re-duces the cost of the events $1 overthe cost of separate tickets for thesame functions.

The Senior Superheater has beenissued in honor of the occasion, andpraises Senior functions to the limit.Printed on pink paper, it shrieks thatthis year's prom will be bigger andbetter, even though reduced in price.

Senior Week Events include theSenior Class Banquet, June 2, thePops Concert, June 3, BaccalaureateSermon, June 4, Stratton PrizeAward, Class Day Exercises, and TeaDance on June 5, and Commencement,President's Reception, and SeniorProm, June 6.
