P. BLAUSTEIN Due to national defense production and the desire of industry to dis- cover new and improved products, the activities of the Department of En- gineering Research here have under- gone a pronounced expansion during the past few months. The main reason for the increase in research work at the University, according to Prof. A. E. White, di- rector of the Department, is the fact that better business conditions are giving industry the opportunity to re- lease more funds for study. Research Expands "Research is also expanding," he explained in an interview yesterday, "because many manufacturers are attempting to create new industries to absorb the slack which will occur when our war production is halted." With more than 85 projects under; its jurisdiction, the Department of Engineering Research has, in many fields, reached the limit of its equip- ment and personnel. Although a few of the projects are being conducted for the government; Professor White revealed that the vast majority' were being studied for various engineering industries throughout the country. Among the leading research pro- jects which are being c~rried on; through the Department at the pres- ent time are the production of new equipment for spectroscopic analy- Announcement Sale To Close Tomorrow Seniors in the Literary school willt have their last chance to order com- mencement announcements today and tomorrow, according to Ed Tripp,t chairman of the committee in charge.; The announcements, which are of- fered at ten, twenty-five, and fifty cents, will be sold from 9 to 12 andc from 1 to 4 in the lobby of Angelli Hall.

Spectroscopic Equipment The spectroscopic equipment, which is being prepared for such con- cerns as the Bethlehem Steel Co., and the Ford Motor Co., are being used to analyzethe quantity of certain al- loys in steel. The work which is being conducted to study nitrogen content began some time ago when it was discovered that this element had a pronounced effect upon the hardenability of steel used in certain automobile parts. Equip- ment has also been constructed here which is able to determine the form in which the nitrogen appears in steel. Youth Questions To Be Discussed Social Service To Meet Here Workers Today ASME Plans To Elect New Officers Today Most Outstanding Student Will Receive Award; Smoker Will Be Held Present officers of the University section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will open their last meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union, when the society meets for the election of new officers for the coming year.
