n his work the time he and
Ernest Lawrence, of the

or the first time, thereby
what alchemists, including
sac Newton, for centuries
ied to do.
Cork at that time (1934-
,s working with Prof. Law-
gold by bombarding platinum in
a cyclotron. The discovery would
have been small solace to the al-
chemists, Prof. Cork said, as plat-
inum is a more expensive meta:
than gold. The experiment led
the way, however, to making other
elements not found in nature in
the cyclotron. Prof. Cork said.
Built Cyclotron
After working with Prof. Law-
rence, who invented and built the
first cyclotron, Prof. Cork directed
the building of the cyclotron in
the physics department here. A
cyclotron is a machine which
smashes the atom, producing
atomic disintegrations which of-
ten make new radioactive forms
of old elements. Of the approx-
imately 500 radioactive isotopes
now* known, more than 80 were
produced and identified in the
laboratory here for. the first time.
Among them is a form of radio-
active iodine which has been suc-
cessfully used recently in the
treatment of certain forms of
cancer in Memorial Hospital in
New York City.
Prof. Cork said his main inter-
est now is in nuclear spectroscopy,
the study of radiations emitted
by radioactive bodies. He is di-
recting the work on the four spec-
trometers the physics department
has now. Prof. Cork said the in-
formation to be gained from this
study "will lead, presumably, to a
model of the nucleus which is the
basis of all matter."
He explained that radioactive
radiations, which the spectro-
meter studies, come from the nu-
cleus. When the necessary in-
formation is secured from the
studies, it will be passed on to
the theorists, who will then be
able to tell more about the ulti-
mate nature of matter, Prof. Cork
said.

Requests for
500 Teachers
On File at 'U'
Great Variety of Jobs
Offered by Colleges
Over 500 openings for college
teaching and administrative posi-
tions are now on file at the Bur-
eau of Appointments and Occu-
pational Information, a Daily sur-
very disclosed yesterday.
Examination of letters received
at the Bureau from colleges lo-
cated throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii
revealed that they are desperate-
ly in need of teaching personnel
possessing Ph.D., M.A., or M.S.,
and B.A., or B.S. degrees.
Approximately two-fifths of the
letters requested doctoral degrees,'
another two-fifths masters, and
the remaining one-fifth bachelors
diplomas. In general, those col-
leges without graduate schools in-
dicated the need for applicants to
fill instructor's positions requiring
only a bachelor's degree, while
state universities and other larger
schools demanded more advanced
degrees.
Salaries varied widely according
to the responsibilities involved,
and the size of the school. The
average of salaries offered to in-
structors was approximately $2,-
400, while positions as assistant
professors, professors, department
heads, and deanships stipulated
incomes upward of $4,000.
The types of positions available
covered the entire range of college
activities, academic and social. Al-
together, there were opportunities
in 52 fields, including listings for
two social directors, one teachers
of remedial reading, and one or-
ganist. There were more open-
ings listed for teachers of English
composition - particularly fresh-
men composition - than any
other single position, while math-
ematics teachers followed as a
close second in demand.
Pledging Tomorrow
raternity pledging will take
place at 6 p.m. tomorrow, accord-
ing to Bill Krebs, secretary-trea-
surer of IFC.
Men who have received invita-
tions are to be at their respective
houses at that time, Krebs said.
Music, Speech
Departments
To Give Opera
The combined talents of stu-
dents in the School of Music and
the speech department's Play Pro-
duction classes will present Mo-
zart's colorful opera "The Mar-
riage of Figaro" March 11-15 at
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
The opera, widely recognized as
one of Mozart's leading works was
based on the second of a trilogy of
Figaro comedies by Beaumarchais
and may be considered a sequel to
Rossini's opera "The Barber of
Seville."
Set in Spain, the plot deals with
the antics and confused love life
of Figaro, barber to the Count Al-
maviva, the Count himself and
numerous others, all lending to
the generally high spirit of the
play.
The music, considered Mozart's
best by some critics, is light but
shows throughout the opera a keen
wit on the part of its composer.
Virginia Persens and Rose Der-
Derian will alternate in the role
of the Countess Rosina, Dalisay
Aldaba will sing the part of Su-
sana, Rosina's maid and the object
of Figaro's confused affections.
Paul Austin will sing the leading
male role.
The performance will be staged
under the direction of Prof. Valen-
tine Windt of the speech depart-
ment, and Prof. Wayne Dunlap of
the music school.
Union To Act As Center
For Tutorial Service
Men wishing to tutor or be tu-
tored in any subject may call at
the- Union Student Offices be-
tween 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday to register with
the Union Tutorial Service.
The Union will act as clearing
house and will refer applicants for
tutoring to qualified students. A
tutor must have received a grade
of A in the course he is to teach, or
B if it is in his field of concentra-
tion.
The rate is one dollar per hour,
and the student receiving instruc-
tion pays his tutor. directly.'

at its meeting at 8 p.m. tomorrow,
in West Lecture Room of the
Rackham Building.
Miss Stine, working under the
direction of Dr. Howard B. Lewis
of the biological chemistry depart-
ment, has been studying physio-
logical effects of laphyrism, a dis-
ease which affects both humans
and animals who eat an excess of
peas of the genus Laphyrus.
The disease has been frequent
among peoples of India, Spain
and Italy where the peas consti-
tute a large part of the diet. Ani-
mals were also shown to be sus-
ceptible when the Agriculture De-
partment suggested the peas as
fodder for farm animals, Miss
Stine said.
