LAWYER-ENGINEER RIVALRY ENSUES:
Lawyers Attempt To Find
Hidden 8-Foot Slide Rule
s
Suspense will run high this week
as the lawyers attempt to find the
eight foot slide rule that engineers
have hidden.
Rivalry for possession of the
slide rule developed on campus
many years ago when law class-
rooms were located in Haven Hall.
Guarding one' entrance to the
diagonal while engineers held the
other side, lawyers would arouse
the engineers' anger by parking a
car in the middle of engine arch
and letting the air out of the tires.
For revenge, the engineers would
form a human chain across the en-
gine arch, preventing the barris-
ters from reaching their class-
rooms.
Rule Stolen
In 1921, law students stole the
eight foot slide rule which is held
sentimentally by engineers.
In retaliation, the engineers in-
vaded Crease Ball with tear gas
bombs and cut the electric cur-
rent.
Ever since the dance's success
depended on whether the lawyers
wereable to find the hidden slide
rule before the dance.
Two years ago, engineers had
kept two rules hidden and they
were triumphant decorations for
the dance. Unfortunately, one was
destroyed when about 30 "legal"
men invaded the Ball. At this
time, Prof. H. Meneffe of the Engi-
neering Department had his ankle
broken.
Kenney To Play.
Last year's theme was "Spring
Prelude." Mel Sachs and his or-
chestra provided music for the
dance.
The Slide Rule Ball which was
formerly sponsored by the Michi-
gan Technic, the Engineering
School magazine is being spon-
sored this year by the Engineering
Council.
This year's dance will be held
from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on March 19
in thefLeague Ballroom. It will be
semi-formal.
Don Kenney and his orchestra
will provide music for the dance.
Tickets which went on sale last
week can be bought from engineer-
ing students in the Engine Arch.
Tickets for the Slide Rule Ball
will be priced at $2.50 a couple.
Fantasies will come to life Sat-
urday night, as junior dental stu-
dents present their annual Odonto
Ball in honor of the senior den-
tistry class.
The dance will be presented in
the Union Ballroom from 9 p.m.
to 1 a.m. and is formal.
James Gilmarten, a senior in
Dental School will provide music
for dancing.
Master of ceremonies for Odonto
Ball is Bill Bowles. He will emcee
acts, including a dance routine
performed by Phyllis and Bill Bot-
tomley, a song and dance act put
on by dental hygienists and a mag-
ic act by Jesse Foote.
Quartet to Sing
A quartet of junior male stu-
dents consisting of Charles Dixon,
Victor Saldania, Eddie Ravesloot
and Herschel" Horowitz will sing
for the dental students, faculty
and their dates.
A movie, a takeoff on the Ed Sul-
livan show, will also be shown.
The theme of the dance is fan-
tasy and the, ballroom will be dec-
orated with fairyland characters
such as Cinderella, St. George and
the Dragon and Jack and the
Beanstalk.
Mobiles stressing the fantastic
as well as futuristic design will
hang from the walls. ,
Favors To Be Given
Various fairyland scenes will be
connected with streaming ribbons
of different hues.
Co-chairmen of the dance are
Tom Erbland and Fred Garber.
For doorprizes, Ann Arbor drug-
stores, clothing stores and supply
houses will donate different gifts
such as sport shirts.
All women attending the dance
will be given gardenia corsages and
a photographer will be at the
dance to snap pictures of couples
as they enter the door.
In 1951, the dance helped cele-
brate the diamond jubilee of the
founding of the University Den-
tal School. Decorations showed the
evolution of dentistry with murals
and pictures ' portraying scenes
from the life of a pioneering
"toothdoctor" down to the famil-
iar dentist's office of today.

Young engineer
is responsible 'for
design analysis
of $3,000,000
turbine-ogenerators
The average large steam turbine-generator
costs $3,000,000 and takes two years to build.
It is one of the biggest pieces of electrical
equipment made. Yet its thousands of parts
are put together as carefully as a fine watch.
Even a small change in design can affect the
stresses and vibration of the turbine, and
the way it performs. At General Electrioc
several men share the responsibility of pre-
dicting those effects before the turbine is
built. One of them is 29-year-old E. E.
Zwicky, Jr.
His job: analytical engineer
Here's what Ted Zwicky does. He takes
a proposed mechanical design feature, de-
scribes it mathematically, breaks" it down
into digestible bits, modifies it, and feeds it
to electronic computers. (It may take two
nmonths to set up a problem; the computers
usually solve it in twenty minutes.) Then
Zwicky takes the answers from the com-
puters, translates and interprets them so they
can be followed by design engineers.
23,000 college graduates at General Electric
This is a responsible job. Zwicky was readied
