THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Foreign Pupils'
New Clubroom
Is Opened Here
New International Center
In Union Begins Work
Under J. R. Nelson
The International Center, new
University clubroom for foreign stu-
dents began its regular work yesterday
under the guidance of Pr-.f. J. Ra-
leigh Nelson, Counselor to Foreign
Students. The Center, located in
the new wing of the Union, was
opened informally on Sept. 15 for the
reception of newly arrived foreign
students.
The International Center is expect-
ed to provide a greatly needed club
where foreign students can meet
those from the United States and
Canada, particularly those interest-
ed in international affairs. The lux-
urious lounge and well appointed
game room are open from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. daily except Sunday when
they will open at 2 p.m. Professor
Nelson states that all students are
welcome at the center at any time
during these hours.
The rooms of the Center were spe-
cially designed tp meet imperative
needs. Although no rooming ac-
conmodations are included, Professor
Nelson believes that the club rooms
will provide a perfect solution to the
problem. He has an office with ad-
joining waiting room, 'conference
room, and telephone booth. These
rooms are placed conveniently near
the Madison Street entrance and also
open into :the lounge.'
Professor Nelson has prepared a
full program of activities for the In-
ternational Center. Teas, dinners,
speakers, and recreational programs
will be included. All foreign students'
will be miailed copies of the announce-
ment this week.,
SRA To Expand
In New Rooms
Basement Rebuilt; Library
To Be Opened Soon
The activities of the Student Reli-
gious Association will be able to be
expanded this year since the Lane
Hall baserient has been rebuilt to in-
clude, a recreation room, lounge, a
small dining room and kitchen, as
well as several rooms suitable for
meetings, according to Kenneth Mor-
gan, director of the association.
The first floor of the hall was
renovated last year. A new library
was also built. Books on religion, mu-
sic and biographies are being pur-
shased now and the library will be
open to the public within a few weeks.
Eventually the library will include 1,-
000 of the best books on religion and
theology and their social application,
Mr. Morgan stated. Magazines pub-
lished by various church groups, the
New York Times and the New Re-
public are now available at Lane Hall.
A small office has been built on the
first floor for the use of visiting lec-
turers who wish to confer with faculty
memles or students. Mr. Moran
hopes that various departments bring-
ing speakers here will take advantage
of this opportunity.

Measurement Of Meteor Speed
Explained By Harvard Professor;
A new means of calculating the+
speed of meteors was found recently
when Dr. Fred L. Whipple, of the
Harvard College Observatory, exam-'
ined the bothersome vibrations of the'
motor used to drive star cameras, ex-'
plained Dr. Whipple in a paper read'
before the 16th meeting of the Ameri-+
can Astronomical Society at the
University of Michigan.
The Harvard Observatory main-
tains a battery of cameras which are
trained upon the skies to record
"shooting stars" which flash across
the sky. The cameras are turned
once a day by motors and remain
pointed toward the same stars. Thus.
any. star.. will show on the film as a '
point, while a meteor will make a trail
across the film.
On one such trail, Dr. Whipple
found sidewise wiggles corresponding
to a movement of about 20 feet. After
a careful examination of the camera
which took the picture, he found that
the wiggles were caused by vibrations
of the camera motor every 16th of
a second. Knowing the rate of vibra-
tion of the motor, he was able to de-
termine the speed of the meteor
