German Physicist Sees Sobered U.S.
World War II has had a sober-
ing effect on the American peo-
ple's thinking, according to Nobel
Prize-winning physicist Max Von
Laue, who addressed a University
audience yesterday.
Von Laue, who visited the Unit-
ed States before the war in 1930
and again in 1935, said that the
three and a half years of World
War I made Americans much
more serious intellectually.

THESE STUDIES have no in-

Von Laue won his Nobel prize
in 1914 in the field of crystal
structure.
He devised a method of meas-
uring X-ray wave lengths, using a
salt crystal which spreads out the
rays in definite patterns.

GAY CABALLEROS:
Four 'U' Students Recall
Summer of Spanish -Study
By HERB ROVNER
With mid-term doldrums and wintry winds upon them, four
University students are looking back longingly to carefree days south
of the border last summer.
Sally Henry, '49, Dorothy Harris, '49, Elizabeth Iden, '49, and
John Ricardo, '48, winners of $100 scholarships for study at National
University in Mexico City were treated to a summer of Latin hos-
pitality.
THE QUARTET, who were awarded scholarships on basis of
activity and interest in La Sociedad Hispanica talked, ate and learned
Spanish all summer long.
:
"Ease of Maintenance" will be
the topic discussed at the local
American Ordnance Association
meeting, at 7:30 p.m. today in Rm.
301 West Engineering Annex.
Col. William A. Call, U.S. Army
Ordnance Department, will give
practical illustrations to show
campus engineers and production
men :how maintenance of equip-
ment may be simplified. He will
show how the strain of modernS
war on home production can be
eased by keeping combat equip-
ment operating.
Well qualified on the subject-
he recently headed a special study
of maintenance at Fort Knox, Ky.
Col. Call has had experience in the
field and in ordnance's industrial
plants. He is now taking his doc-
torate at the University.
The meeting will be open to all
members and their guests.

At, the University, they studied Mexican literature, culture,
and the economic and social problems of the country.
"THERE WERE lots of bolts and if you handed in a paper on
time, the prof was really surprised," Miss Henry said.
"But Mexico's progress in her educational facilities is really
wonderful," Miss Harris said.
"Schools are now being built all over the country by the govern-
ment. There is an intense interest in improving the standards of
education."
All three girls admitted that Mexican men are far more romantic
than Americans. "They are always singing and frequently send poetry
to you," Miss Henry said.
"In fact, just before leaving Mexico City, we were serenaded
by a group of handsome caballeros."
