7, 1936 TU E MICHIGAN,,DAILY PA Course In Far East Is Given By University Program Leading To B. A- In Oriental Civilizations Offered To Siileits The University of Michigan is meeting the growing interest in the East by offering a unique, interde- partmental degree program in Orien- tal Civilizations, according to mem- bers of the committee in charge of the project. The United States is said to be drawing closer and closer to the East, a fact which is made seeemingly evi- dent by the establishment in 1935 in Cleveland Auditorium Agleam For Republicans. 'New Amateur Band Transmitter To Be University's Radio V American colleges and universities of over 200 courses pertaining to the Far ..East alone, the committee members said. Students at the University, during their hectic period of catalog-thumb- ing, are prone to think in terms of departments, but the student . in- -erested in the East, either for study here or work there, has the oppor- tunity of getting a broad acquaint- ance with Asia through the cooper- ation of nine departments. of the lit- erary college. National authorities in Oriental studies for the past two years have presented every phase of this vast field. Prof. Joseph R. Hayden of the po- litical science department, Prof. Rob- ert B. Hall of the geography depart- ;ment and Dr. John W. Stanton of the history department are members of the faculty group presenting this comp'site program. Prof. Charles F. Remer of the economics department, Dr. William H. Worrell, Professor of Semitics, Prof. Roderick D. McKensie of the sociology department, Dr. Carl E. Guthe and Dr. Tetive both of the anthropology department, Miss Ade- laide A. Adams of the fine arts di- vision and Prof. Mehmet Aga-Oglu of the Islamic arts department are oth- er members of the board. A student may specialize either in one region, such as the Near or ar East, or in one phase, for example, economics or geography of Asia. This course, which transcends de- partment lines provides a really ex- tensive and intensive study of the Orient, which is becoming increas- ingly important politically and ec- onicaly to the United States. 3 Ships Wrecked Off Newfoundland (By the Associated Press) A schooner sank, a Norwegian freighter was believed a total loss, and another grounded and was later refloated today in the North Atlantic or its coastal waters. The Canadian schooner W. Dicks, bound to St. Pierre et Miquelon with 80 tons of coal, sprang a leak 25 miles off Pointe-Platte, Miquelon, and sank. The captain and crew of four men reached shore in a dory after rowing 17 hours. . The 1,137 ton freighter Magnhkld1 went ashore at Mistaken Point, near Cape Race, Newfoundland, in a dense fog. Her crew of 20 escaped to shore, but the ship is expected to be a total loss. Another Norwegian boat, the Ev- viva, 1,197 tons, grounded on Fox Point, near Port Greville, N.S., in the Bay of Fundy, but was later re-c flated and towed to Parrsboro, N.S.,I for inspection. Upswing Is Reported In May's Building Activity WASHINGTON, June 6.-(A)-A "widespread upswing" in building ac- tivity was reported today in a spe- cial Commerce Department survey. Gathering statistics in 100 repre- sentative cities, the department said the number of buiding permits issued in May increased 76 per cent over the same month a year ago., This gain, the survey said, was a broad enough sample "to give it the -Associated Press Photo.

Rescuers Seek Iowa Victims Of Explosion Tangled Busine& Searche Debris OfI iS Buildings d In Tama Four Are TAMA, Ia., June 6.- WP) --Rescue workers tugged at the tangled debriF of four business buildings tonight in search of victims of an explosion which injured critically at least seven persons shortly before noon. Somewhere in the wreckage they expected to find the body of a miss- ing boy, and possibly others. A hail of broken glass blown out when the blast tore the buildings apart had cut more than 30 persons in the business district. The body the rescue workers ex- pected to find was that of Billy Bar- tling, son of Mrs. William Bartling, of Toledo, Ia. As firemen pulled Mrs. Bartling from beneath a pile of bricks and timber, she was crying: "Where's Billy? Where's my boy?" Soon she lost consciousness. The known critically injured are: John Hess, Mrs. Lyle Mooney and Clifford Hill, all of Tama; Mrs. Wil- liam Bartling and Hugh McDonald, both of Toledo; Joe Zeman, Tama, and Selmer Nelson, Gilman. The explosion, Fire Chief Henry Anderson said, occurred probably in the Gamble store, a two-story brick building, "since it was simply turned into a pile of bricks, timber and store stock with part of the roof on top." Virtually every window along the block was shattered and bricks and timbers were hurled a half block across the railroad tracks. significance of an adequate cross sec- tion." In dollars, the building permits total jumped from $36,254,262 to $63,829,408 in the cities surveyed. The report said, "The first two cities in the volume of permits in May were New York and Los An-. geles." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1926 VOL.

University Commencement An- nouncement: The University Com- mencement exercises will be held on Ferry Field, Saturday afternoon, June 20. The gates open at 4:45 p.m. Audience should be seated by 5:20 p.m., when procession enters the field. The voice-amplifying service will be interfered with by outside sounds, and the audience is therefore re- quested to avoid conversation and moving about. Automobile owners are asked kindly to keep their -ma- chines away from the vicinity of Ferry Field during the exercises. Tickets may be secured at the Busi- ness. Office, University of Michigan, Room 1, University Hall, until 5:30 p.m., Saturday, June 20. All friends of the University are welcome _to tickets. There will be no admission without tickets. In case of rain, the exercises will be transferred to Yost Field House, to which the special Yost Field House tickets only will admit. These tickets are also available at the Business Of- fice, Room 1, University Hall, Uni- versity of Michigan, and will be is- sued 2 to each graduate. The Ferry Field ticket will not admit to Yost Field House. If it becomes necessary to transfer the exercises from Ferry Field, out- doors, to the Field House, indoors, after the exercises have started, per- sons will be admitted to the Field House without tickets until the seat- ing capacity is exhausted. If it is decided, in advance of start- ing the procession, to hold the exer- cises in Yost Field House, the power house whistle will be blown between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. on Commence- ment afternoon. 11.

Weather Rainy: The sounding of the University Power House Siren at 4:30 to 4:45 will indicate that the (continued on Page 4) (Continued from Page 1) ing, the new unit will be incorporated with a speech monitor and amplifier, power supplies and controls and mod- ulator equipment. These latter, which occupy more space than does the actual transmitter, will contribute not a little to the job of operating the set-up. In the transmitter's oscillator stage, starting point of the electrical impulses which will eventually in modified and amplified form go out into the air, four different crystals are used to hold the vibrations exact- ly on their respective frequencies. To render the code and phone transmis- sion interchangeabl erequires a pair of crystals for each wave length. However, one pair of the crystals are of the 40-meter band type, since a crystal suitable for 20-meter wave length would be too thin for reliable operation. In the next stage of the transmitter, called a doubler, the frequency of these 40-meter vibra- tions is doubled, thus reducing the wave length to the 20 meters desired. When 80-meter transmission is being used, the doubler stage acts as an amplifier. The power supply for the oscil- lator stage, which uses a type 47 tube, is located along with the stage on the third shelf down, in the trans- mitter. Copper shielding separates' the power supply and oscillator, and the entire shelf is also shielded. On this, as on all the stages, jacks are provided so that meters may be inserted in the various circuits. Thus at any time the current passing and voltage present may be read for any part of the circuit. In both the doubler stage and the succeeding buffer stage a type 46 tube is used. The two stages are mounted on the second shelf down and are separated by a copper shield. For both 20-and 80- meter operation the buffer stage acts as an amplifier. For code operation the key relay cir- cuit may be inserted in either of these two stages. The final amplifier, on the top shelf, includes two type 10 push-pull tubes. Neutralizing condensers which are used to prevent ocsillation of the amplifying tubes and subsequent for- mation of unmanageable radio waves are located in this stage. A bias of about 70 volts will be placed on the grids of the tubes. Interchangeable coils for the dif- ferent bands are used in all the stages. Power supplies for the stages are located in the lower part of the transmitter and include rectifying units for the crystals, for the plates of the four radio frequency amplify- ing tubes, for the C-bias of the final amplifiers and for the driver and modulator stages. The filaments of" the radio frequency tubes are heated from individual transformer wind- ings In the driver stage, which performs the functions of speech amplification and power control for phone trans- mission, the vibrations of the sound waves are picked up and strength- ened. A monitor, by means of which the operator may hear the sound as the instrument secures it, is a part of the equipment. The output from the driver stage passes into the modulator which su- perimposes the sound frequency upon the radio frequency waves, which are then ready to be emitted from the antenna. Control of the entire transmitter will be centered by relays upon a single small push-button panel. In all some 19 tubes ranging in output from one-tenth of a watt to 250 watts will be used in the unit. It is expected that the present 400- watt code transmitter will be com- bined with the new system.

GREENE'S CLEANERS &'DYERS of (its 500 camshafts can be inspected every hour by an automatic machine which has been designed and built by the Ford Motor Company. It is the only one of its kind. It has a gaging accuracy Of one ten-thousandth of an inch. It gages Ford camshafts at 25 points. Any dimension not within the specified limits causes elec- trical and mechanical devices to. reject the camshaft as it leaves the machine. There are ten inspection sta- tions. The camshafts are placed in registered position in carriers mounted on an endless linked conveyor and carried into the machine. At each station the conveyor stops momentarily. Au- tomatic centers engage the ends of the camshafts and hold them rigidly. Then.25- floatinggage kid Beads lower automatically, iia- sure the shafts, then rise. As the conveyor moves the shafts to the next station, other mechanism rotates and indexes them for the next set of gage heads. The gage heads contain hard. alloy-tipped measuring plungers which are linked to amplifying levers. Variations in shaft sizes, beyond set limits, close a set of, contact points which operate two solenoids. One sets the rejection mechanism; the other raises a marking plunger which puts a daub of copper sulphate solution on the shaft where the dimension is over or under size. When shafts come out of machine they are automatically passed or rejected. All told, there are 5S inspections onievery Ford Y- 8 camshaft. THANKS for Your PATRONAGE.
