Efficiency And Simplicity Make Throws Hat In New Dental Institute Ideal Unit v Ring E'vidence Shows Moon Was One Fused To Earth, Rufus Says Theory Originates From Glass Objects Found On Shore Of Pacific; Rupture Occurred 10,06f0 Years Ago Ann Arbor ' Here Is Today's News Kellogg Foundation First To Devote Entire Building To Study Of Graduate And Postgraduate Dentistry By RICHARD HARMEL With the fanfare and ceremony so characteristic of dedications coming April 3 for the new W. K. Kellogg; Foundation Institute for Graduate and Postgraduate Dentistry, the cam- pus is slowly awakening to a curiosity about the location and function of the building whose sleek, modern lines, dental authorities say, suggest the spirit of progress and research in which it was founded. The Institute, completed except for the landscaping around it, rises at the corner of North UJniversity Avenue and Twelfth Street directly across from the League and next to the new Health Service. It represents a unique institution in that no other school or organiza- tion in the country has an entire building devoted to a study of gradu- ate and postgraduate dentistry. outstanding Contribution To Campus Architecturally speaking, the build- ing represents "an outstanding con- tribution" to the University campus, according to Dr. Russel W. Bunting, dean of the dental school. He says: "In the 'Institute is combined maxi- mum utilitarian efficiency with sim- plicity and beauty of designthat makes it an ideal educational unit." From the outside, the Institute is three stories in height and extends 200 feet north and south and is ap- proximately 100 feet deep. The en- tire exterior is punctured by large windows providing the maximum of daylight to all the rooms. The in- clusion of a court 50 by 54 feet in size between the Institute and the dental building makes possible the same lighting for the inner rooms as is available on the outside. Entrance Faces West The main entrance of the building faces west. After ascending two short flights of steps, the main lobby, pan- eled in walnut, is reached. From here, a marble stairway, divided by a large panel of glass brick, ascends to the second floor and lateral stair- ways lead to the basement. The first floor has to the right of the foyer, the administrative offices of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation In- stitute, a faculty conference room and a seminar room. On the east and west corridor leading to the den- tal building are the dental caries (cavities) research laboratories, a small lecture room and a seminar room. To the left, a wide arch opens directly into a children's waiting room which leads into clinics and labora-, tories for the teaching of children's dentistry and orthodontics. The second floor has the central west side of the building devoted to clinics and laboratories for partial denture prosthesis and across the hall are additional laboratories. On the north side are special facilities for teaching operative dentistry, root sur- gery and ceramics. The entire south side is devoted to the operating rooms and private consultation offices of oral surgery. Seminar Rooms In Basement On the basement floor are semi- nar rooms, laboratories for oral path- ology and research, an auditorium with a capacity of 300, locker rooms, lounge room and an exhibition room. Direct communication between the Institute and the dental building is assured by means of continuous halls on the south side and by direct open- ings on the northwest corner of the dental building. The Institute will not be used for undergraduate study expept in oral pathology. All undergraduate teach- ing will continue to go on in the dental building while the Institute will confine itself to instruction for' graduate and postgraduate work. By PAUL CHANDLERt Thousands of small glassy objects strewn on the southwestern shores of the Pacific Ocean are important evi- dence that the moon once was a part of the earth until torn away by a powerful tidal force, according to a theory advanced here today by Prof. Carl W. Rufus, of the astronomy de- partment. The glass objects-known to physi- cal scientists as "tektites"-have been studied for more than 150 years, but there never has been a satisfac- tory theory for their origin. Dr. Rufus' explanation of the phe- nomena is based largely upon a gen- eral "fission theory" of the origin of the moon, which was developed by Sir George H. Darwin, and which says that the Pacific Ocean is a scar on the earth created when the moon tore away 10,000 years ago. Professor Rufus says that some of the loose matter which was pulled away with the moon did not fall im- mediately back to earth, but contin- ued to revolve out in space for some time. These particles, ,Professor Ru- fus believes, were similar in composi- tion to the matter which is contained in the rings encircling Saturn today. According to his theory, these par- ticles which revolved about the earth were the glassy objects which are found in the Pacific area today and which science 'ha labeled "tektites." The composition of the primitive earth at the tind of the moon's fis-; sion is not known today, but it is gen- erally thought that the rupture oc- curred while the earth was beginning to solidify. According to Professor Rufus' explanation, the earth was+ made up on an upper layer of hard granite, with a lower layer of glassy basalt beneath the granite. "When the fission occurred," he explains, "it seems very probable that the mass of the moon stripped the Pacific area of its granite layer and probably lifted some of the material from the glassy layer. The glassy part, being deepest, was the last to leave the earth and would therefore constitute the material which formed the detached' fragments." These particles revolved around the earth over the Pacific and were fin- ally drawn into the atmosphere with "speeds sufficient to produce the typi- cal forms which are characteristic of tektites today," Professor Rufus add- ed. Another bit of evidence which seems to add to the authenticity of this theory is the existence of a series of deep trenches on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, parallel to the area in which the tektites are found. These trenches are thought to extend deep into the glassy area. Professor Rufus had mailed a de- scription of his theory to the Uni- versity of the Philippines, which has studied tektites for many years. He also delivered a paper on it at a meet- ing of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In Summary Robert A. Campbell, former trea- surer of the University and Mayor of Ann Arbor, was honored last night by the American Legion at their annual citizenship banquet at the Union. Campbell served three terns as mayor and is now president of the city park commission and a member of the city planning commission. Speaker at last night's banquet was Edward Scheiberling, depart- ment commander of the American Legion in New York State. The din- ner was sponsored jointly by the American Legion posts of Washtenaw County.

A special feature for the benefit of School of Music students will be a three-week High School Band Clin- ic in which more than 100 high school musicians, recommended by their principals and supervisors, will as- semble for instruction in ensemble music. "They in turn will provide a vehicle for advanced conductors and directors perfecting their own pro- fessional endeavors," President Sink pointed out. New Telescope escribed Here Ormondroyd Addresses EngineeringSociety Construction of the 200-inch tele- scope at Mt. Palomar, California, was described Wednesday night at a meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the Union, by Prof. Jesse Ormondroyd, of the mechanical engineering department. Professor Ormondroyd was in sole charge of the manufacturing design, and actual manufacturing of the mechanical parts of the telescope. Weighing one million pounds, the giant steel unit will be moved by a one half horsepower motor, the speak- er said during the course of his talk. This is possible because of a new type of bearing developed to eliminate friction difficulties rising out of the great weight supported. The largest bearing evei' built will be used in the supporting mechanism Professor Ormondroyd added, a bear- ing which measures 46 feet in diam- eter. Plans for the work have beer in existence since as early as 1918, he said. ,) 1 ., 1 , NORMAL CHOIR BACH FESTIVAL Excerpts from MINOR MASS 300 SINGERS NORMAL CHOIR and GUEST HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS FREDERICK ALEXANDER, Conductor PEASE AUDITORIUM Friday, March 29, 8 P.M.
