Michigan Union
Life Members
Get Gold Pins
Seniors Who Have Been
In University For Eight
Semesters Eligible
Life-memberships in the Union
may be taken out any time after May
1, Wencel A. Neumann, '36, president
of the student organization announced
last night.
Any senior who has spent eight
semesters in the University auto-
matically becomes a life member of
the Union and those desiring to be-
come life members who have not
been in the University for that length
of time are urged to call at the busi-
ness office in the Union and make ar-
rangements for such a membership.
The life membership costs $40, and
each student is given credit when he
pays his semester tuition fees for $5
toward the total sum. Those who pay
less than the required $40 may take
out a membership by paying up the
amount lacking to make the $40 total.
Others who are now eligible arc
urged to call at the Union sometime
after May 1 and receive their gold life
membership pins as well as the key
tags.
In commenting about the reasons
for becoming life members, Union of-
ficials pointed out that especially in
the last few years have such mem-
berships become more valuable. When
returning to the Union on football
week-ends or Commencement week,
life members are given preference in
reserving rooms at vthe Union. At
the present time, only life members
are allowed rooms at these times.
Special rates are available in the
Union pool and the bowling alleys
for those holding life memberships
and admission to the weekly dances
is always accorded life members even
when the full quota of tickets has
been sold.
The key tags given all persons tak-
ing out life memberships often prove
infinitely valuable to their owners, of-
ficials pointed out. At one time last
year, Neumann said, a bunch of keys
with the tag attached was shipped
to the Union by some unknown per-
son and sent back to their rightful
owner who lives in Seattle, Wash.
Sociology Trip
To Chicago Is
Planned May 1
SCA Project Plans Tours
To Various Churches And
Points Of Interest
Several additional features have
been added to the itinerary of the
SCA sociological field trip to Chicago
scheduled for May 1-3, according to
an announcement yesterday by Rich-
ard Clark, '37, secretary of the or-
ganization, who said that the addi-
ions were made possible by changing
the time of departure from Ann Arbor
from 5:20 p.m. to 1:20 p.m.
The additions to the tentative itin-
erary previously announced include a
visit to the Merchandise Mart, a large
shopping center similar to Radio City.
The student group will go through the
National Broadcasting Studios also.
Officials in charge of the field trip
hope to meet with various "charac-
ters" of Chicago's streets. If plans
work out, dope addicts, prostitutes,
.unemployed, itinerants and fanatics
will be asked to talk to the group
while at dinner in the Loop. It is
hoped that these street characters will
present their philosophy of life and
their ideas of the world at that time.
Friday evening, May 1, the group
will spend in some racial center, with
trips slated for the notorious "Hell's
Half Acre" on the "near north side"
of the city, a low class district, where
the group will find interest in the
people and numerous "dives" in the
narrow streets.
Sunday, according to plans, the
students will visit various churches
-the Greek Orthodox, Negro, and
old-world Jewish.
This sociological trip, the last of the
year, has been planned with the co-
operation of Prof. Earl S. Johnson of
the sociology department of the Uni-
versity of Chicago. Ira Latimer of
the Chicago Board of Education will
assist in conducting the tour.
William Wilsnack, '37, president
of the SCA, who said that many stu-
dents had expressed interesi in the
trip, warned that the tour would
necessarily have to be limited to 40
persons, and advised all students
wishing to go, to pay the 50 cents
registration fee at Lane Hall imme-
diately.

Apparatus Being Used To Cure Scadding's Foot
-Associated Press Photo.
A "glass boot" similar to one shown here was used by physicians in an attempt to save the feet of
Charles Alfred Scadding, rescued after being buried alive for 10 days in a Moose River, N. S., gold mine.
After using the boot a few days physicians at Halifax, N.S., said Scadding's feet had improved so much
that it was hoped surgical interference would be unneecssary. The boot was developed by Dr. Louis S. Herr-
mann of Cincinnati as a means of inducing circulation.

Brown Says Alcohol Useless
For Automobile Motor Fuels
Will Result In More Costly'
Operation And Wasteful
Use Of Resources
The blending of agricultural alco-
hol with gasoline in motor fuels can
only result in more costly operation,
considerable marketing and storage
difficulties, and generally uneconomic
use of natural resources, is the opin-
ion of Prof. George G. Brown of the
chemical engineering department.
In support of his position on a ques-
tion which has for the past few years
agitated the legislatures of the corn
belt states and which was the subject
of a symposium conducted by Pro-
fessor Brown at a recent meeting of
the American Chemical Society in
Kansas City, he marshalled a long
array of facts on the relative merits of
alcohol and straight gasoline as fuels.
To begin with, he pointed out, al-
cohol has a potential heating value
only about two-thirds that of an
equal volume of gasoline. Thus in
any engine which depends upon the
heat liberated from burning the fuel
for power, the fuel delivering the
largest amount of heat is obviously
the fuel able to give the most work.
If maximum power requirements are
substantially fixed, as in the automo-
bile engine, then the higher heating
value of the gasoline allows less
fuel to be used.
Conditions for burning the mix-
tures must be properly adjusted to ob-
tain greatest power output, Professor
Brown remarked in explaining the
preceding data. Since alcohol re-
quires much less air for complete
combustion than does gasoline, car-
buretors must be adjusted according-
ly. The net effect of the higher pro-
portion of alcohol in the combustible
mixture is to give very nearly the
same power output per unit volume
of fuel-air mixture for the two fuels.
All other factors being in their best
possible condition, he explained, the
power developed by an engine de-
pends chiefly upon its compression ra-
tio. The principal limit upon in-
crease in the compression ratio is the
degree to which the fuel can be com-
pressed without knocking. Therefore
the value of a fuel with a high anti-
knock rating lies in the latitude it
gives motor builders for raising the
compression ratio.
When full advantage is taken of the
compression ratio increase allowed, it'
has been found, Professor Brown
stated, that the net decrease in motor
efficiency amounts to about 2.5 per
cent for each 10 per cent of alcohol
used.
Even when the blend has been run
into an engine's fuel tank, the op-
erator's difficulties are not over, Pro-
fessor Brown warned. Due to alco-
hol's increasing the ease with which
the fuel will vaporize, a condition
known as "vapor lock" may be set up
in fuel lines or carburetor, and the
engine will stall or fail to start from
lack of fuel. Also this tendency of
the mixture to vaporize means a larg-
er loss in fuel vapor at the carburet-
or, thus again increasing consump-
tion.
Looking at the question from the
standpoint of the relative costs of the
fuels, Professor Brown remarked that
with corn selling at 25 cents a bushel,
alcohol of the requisite purity would
cost at least 27 cents a gallon accord-
ing to Department of Agriculture fig-
ures. At the average price of corn
from 1920 to 1933, 67 cents per bushel,
the alcohol would cost 47 cents a gal-
lon.
In concluding, Professor Brown
pointed out that conversion of corn to
alcohol seemed a waste of energy.
Some 10 or 12 pounds of coal, as well
as the grain, are used in producing a
gallon of alcohol, so that the heating
value of the original materials is
about 4 or 5 times that of the alcohol.
Dance Instructioi
Begins At League
Because of the many requests re-
ceived asking for a continuation of
the series of dancing lessons at the
League, a new sequence will begin to-
night. The class will open at 7:30
p.m. and will be held in the ballroom
of the League, according to Miss
Ethel A. McCormick, social director.
The new series will consist of six
lessens, to be given for $1.50. Marie
Sawyer, '38, and Douglas Gregory,
students of Roy Hoyer, local dance in-
struictor, will conduct the classes. Sev-
eral new ballroom dance steps will be
introduced.

Eyestrain is not the only bad result of poor lighting. In addition to the
abuse to the eyes, nervous energy is used up needlessly. The student who
attempts to read or work under inadequate light may be as fatigued, and
may have burned up as much energy as the man who spends a day at hard
muscular labor. The new Science of Seeing has shown quite clearly that
.it does take energy to see, that seeing consumes energy just as definitely

If you have the right light, you can do better work -faster and more
asily -and without the danger of eyestrain. There are no substitutes for
the services of an eyesight specialist. But good lighting helps to protect
eyes young anc old, good and bad. Be sure your light is right!
