THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 193; "M""ft Alpha Nu Holds Forum Tonight On Paternalism Discussion Within Meeting Will Be Led By Nelson And Aldrich The question of paternalism on the campus will be thrown open for dis- cussion tonight at a rally meeting of Alpha Nu, honorary speech frater- nity, in its chapter room on the fourth floor of Angell Hall. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. More than 200 letters have been sent out to prospective members, fac- ulty men and alumni, and they will be present in addition to regular members, according to George Sip- prell, 336, president. Among faculty men, mostly alumni of the forensic society, who are engaged to be present are the entire speech faculty and Prof. James K. Pollock of the polit- ical science department. Regent Jun- ius E. Beal of Ann Arbor and former Governor Wilbur M. Brucker, both alumni, will also attend, it is believed. The discussion on paternalism will be lead by Frank Aldrich and Karl Nelson, both '37, with audience par- ticipating. There will also be a review of George Seldes' "Freedom of the Press" by Fred Warner Neal, '37, Sip- prell said. He said he hoped this meeting of the society will be the biggest of the year. Sipprell took office as presi- dent only recently, replacing Paul Von Bergen, 37. Von Bergen is in charge of arranging the program for tonight. XwRay Valuable In Diagnosing, Curing Disease (Continued from Page ) ture and position of foreign bodies accidentally swallowed or sucked into the lungs, to discover and localize minute metal particles lodged within the eye, to search for suspected can- cers throughout the alimentary tract, to recognize stones in the gall- bladder, to search for obscure tumors within the brain, and to determine shape of the heart. Dr. Hodges stated that all of these uses, in addition to scores of others, have won for roentgenology a posi- tion of major importance in all in- stitutions where medicine is prac- ticed. X-ray examinations facilitate medical practice by opening wells of information accessible in no other way, and by making a survey of much of the internal mechanism of the body readily possible. The department of roentgenology as a unit of the University's Medical School provides opportunities for stu- dents to learn actual medical prac- tice, and, in addition, to add wher- ever possible to the general fund of medical knowledge. Provision has been made for such activities by building into the department a library study room and X-ray laboratories. The library contains bound films showing typical examples of the many conditions encountered by the physi- cian in his daily practice. "It is hoped that in such surround- ings the student may be fired with the desire to emulate Roentgen in his diligent search for the explanation of a phenomenon he could not under- stand, for it is to a large measure through the accomplishments of such investigators that humanity at large maintains its ever-quickening pace in the onward march of civilization," Dr. Hodges commented. Last week in Detroit the 21st An- nual Convention of the Radiological Society of North America was con- cluded. This society is the largest of five national societies dealing with the medical applications of X-rays and radium. The convention pro- gram was featured by interesting con- tributions to present day knowledge regarding the therapeutic value of this agent, and also new uses and re- finements in the field of medical diagnosis. The scientific exhibits were unus- ually extensive and of very fine order, according to Dr. Hodges. Manufac- turers of X-ray equipment displayed many new pieces of apparatus.

Dr. Knapp in- timated, however, that the trustees are working on a plan which may culminate in the distribution of the entire fund to three or four educa- tional and scientific enterprises. None of the Rackham money is ever loaned, Dr. Knapp said, and all of it goes to public, rather than private, agencies. Mixed in with the very serious business of spending $15,000,000 for the advancement of humanity, there is some humor, Dr. Knapp said with a smile. For instance, he recalled, there is the case of a man who re- cently wrote in asking for a gigantic sum in order to work out a partner- ship between himself and God. But apparently even with the presence of the Diety, such a project would be too private for the Rackham Foundation, because Dr. Knapp said the man did not get the grant. so many fascinating things to show you really not know which to choose first.

Mint Chewing Gu' Furnishes TopicFor Glover's Radio Talk parts of the country, including north- ern Ohio and Indiana, and in 1835 to Michigan. Here mint cultivation spread rapidly, and for the next 35 years the State was the greatest pep- permint producing region in the1 world. Now, however, Indiana has become the leading producer, with Michigan and Ohio next, the speaker added. 727 North University Phone 9797 features For Christmas- Pipes and Cigars Masticatory Art's History Shows Interdependence Of Modern Civilization "A Stick of Mint Chewing Gum" was the topic of the lecture given by Prof. Clifford C. Glover, of the Col- lege of Pharmacy, over the University broadcasting system. Professor Glover discussed both the historical and the commercial factors of gum chewing, stating that he chose his subject for the purpose of illus- trating "how interdependent and highly specialized our modern civili- zation has become." "Gum chewing was known to the ancients," Professor Glover began. "Our early Americans often chewed beeswax, shoemaker's wax, spruce gum, or pitch, and later paraffin. Modern gum consists essentially of three parts - a more or less inde- structible plastic base, sugar, and a flavor. Chicle, or a comination of chicle and wax or some other resinous sub- stance, is the base of practically all chewing gum. It is obtained by tap- ping the large evergreen trees grow- ing abundantly in the warm damp forests of Southern Mexico, Yuca- tan, and the northern countries of South America. After collection, Pro- fessor Glover explained, the latex is boiled down and pressed into mold- ed blocks for shipment to our chew- ing gum factories, where the blocks are purified. Factory machines melt, blend, fil- ter, and sterilize the chicle and other gums, and then dough mixers stir the gum, to which glucose, powered sugar, and finally the flavor has been added, for nearly an hour. The dough then cools until it becomes stiff enough to handle in the form of convenient loaves, Professor Glover explained. These loaves are then passed through a series of rolling machines, cut into sheets and dried. Then they are cut into sticks by machines, and fed into an automatic machine which wraps each stick in either tinfoil or paper, applies a band to each stick, assembles five wrapped sticks and finally bands the five together in a sealed package, Professor Glover con- tinued. Before the World War there was very little demand for chewing gum in Europe, but since then our gum exports have been increasing stead- ily, the speaker commented. Today the chewing gum industry jranks among our big American industries, with an annual output of fifty mil- lion dollars. The State of Michigan, Professor Glover emphasized, has long been an important producer of the mint flavors. Although Japan annually produces several times as much oil of, peppermint as this country, it is how- ever, not satisfactory as a flavoring agent. Mint culture began in 1816 when a harvest of wild plants was made in New York state, Professor Glover as- serted. It spread from there to other ~ I PERSONAL CHRISTMAS CARDS Imprinted with your name.

University A NEW LAMP DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS A committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society found that poor lighting conditions in homes and dormitories were damaging the eyesight of students. The committee saw that most of the desk lamps used by students were not suitable for study purposes. They produced glare, deep shadows and harsh contrasts . . . and more often than not caused eyestrain. So the committee decided to design a lamp especially for study and reading purposes that would also provide a certain amount of illumina tion throughout the room. The lamp was designed to give the greatest possible amount of the light from the lamp bulb itself. The new lamp they finally designed has several new scientific features. For instance, the dis- tance, 191/2 inches from the base to the bottom o f the shade, insures a wide spread of light over your working area. The 150-watt lamp bulb is surrounded by a bowl of diffusing glass, open at the top. No raw light can possibly strike your eyes. There is no glare. The light that goes upward to the ceiling is diffused throughout the room to give the additional illumination so necessary to eye comfort. LAMP SHADE IMPORTANT, TOO The shade, which is just the right height and width, is coated on the inside with a special preparation to reflect light. This type of lamp really gives several times as much light as ordinary lamps. It is known as the I.E.S. Better Sight Lamp because the Illuminating Engineering Society designed it, and is now made by a number of lamp manufacturers, in many different styles and in both floor and table models. Each lamp carries the I.E.S. authorized certification tag and is guaranteed to give adequate light. They are very popular with college men and women and also with boys and girls in school.
