STUDENT ADMINISTRATION , , ff - w i,.,,,L' ,, , , ,, ,, , , BRADBURN SMITH LIEN WHERRITT Publicity Committee One of the least known of the various groups on the campus, but one of the utmost importance, is the Publicity Committee. This committee, which during the past year has consisted of lim Bradburn, chairmang Elvin Lien, Sid Smith, and Bob Wfherritt, has the thankless job of keeping all activities, debate, sports, etc., before the eyes of the public, by placing the events and the date of their happening at the disposal of the various daily newspapers and periodicals. During the third term of 1931 the committee helped tremendously in the advertising of the an- nual Exhibit Day, working in cooperation with the regularlyiappointed Exhibit Day advertising committee. The result was one of the largest Exhibit Days in the history of the lnstitute. Perhaps the greatest amount of work for the Publicity Committee 'came during the football season, when football programs were edited, Thirty published, and placed. The entire writing of the programs, including the procuring of the names and pictures of the contestants, the selling of advertising space, and the final selling of the books at the games, is handled by this group. ln this same general line is the matter of placing posters advertising the various games throughout the season in the local area. The football pro- grams produced through the past season were as good as any in the Southwest. Throughout the second term this year, the chief duties of the committee consisted of obtain- ing intercollegiate writeups of the various track meets and baseball games in the local and Los Angeles newspapers. A 1 Under the new regime in the third term this year, the first important work of the committee, headed by Gregory Hartmann, was the successful advertising of the 1932 Exhibit Day. y ,, c,, f , yiaf a p, f if I 0 a a ff f f

ROBERT B. FREEMAN Board of Control The voting members on the Board consist of four seniors, of whom one is the President of the Student Body, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. The Vice-President of the Stu- dent Body acts as Chairman of the Board, with the Secretary of the Student Body acting as Board of Control Secretary. This year these two men were, respectively, Bob Freeman and Paul Par- sons. The ten voting members were Philip Schoeller, Bruce Rule, Jack Chamhers, Bill Berg- ren, Ed Crawford, Bob Fletcher, Dave Clarke, Bob Sharp, John Pearne, and Bill Harris. It is safe to say that the thing most Tech men are the proudest to possess is the Honor System. Its results are immediately apparent to anyone visiting the campus. Means of stimulating higher interest in the System are sought and discussed hy the Board of Control, which then seeks to put them into effect.

With the above objectives in view, the Exhibit Day Committee worked very hard in an endeavor to .present demonstrations which would not only interest the public, but which would also give them an elementary understanding of the prin- ciples behind the experiments. ln electrical engineering the high tension labo- ratory was the center of attraction. An insulation puncture, long arc, and corona were shown. The Kellogg Radiation Laboratory also held the attention of visitors and students. Because of the vast number of people who have been unable to see the liquid air demon- strations in previous years, these lectures were held in Culbertson Hall this year. They were presented by the students themselves, and the properties of liquid air shown in a striking way. Another object of major interest in physics was the phoneloscope, with the admirable demonstra- tion of sound analysis. Biology gave an opportunity of viewing the fertilization of eggs of the marine annelid Urechis caupo. Additional exhibits presented the processes of development of chick embryos. By observing these demonstrations a very good idea of the growth of an animal from conception to birth was obtained. Those who went into the Guggenheim Aero- nautical Laboratory saw the wind tunnel and the five automatic balances which measure the forces on a model while it is being tested. The action of these balances, as well as the actual method of operating the wind tunnel when in use were described. A scale model of the new Navy dirig- ible uAkron7' received much attention. Although the living houses were not open to the general public, members of the various houses entertained their friends with a buffet supper on Friday evening. HARTTVIANN HUTcH1soN FINNEY, Chair.
