PAGE SIX THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, March 18, 1919 ENGINEERS HELPED WIN THE BIG FIGHT Whereabout of Has Beens--Many Commissioned Officers of High Rank The Iowa engineers' part in the war has been an important one. Ninety-five commissioned officers and 110 privates have stars on the service flag of the college of applied science. Major B. J. Lambert recently returned from France where he was bridge engineer. Capt. A. H. Holt is in France with the 605th engineers, and Capt. B. P. Fleming is with the 34th engineers in the largest machine shop in France. Of the class of 1917 the latest information which Dean W. G. Raymond has is as follows: George Atkinson, captain of Co. A, which is the company of engineers from here; Harold Barber, 1st Lieut.; W. J. Brush was captain and is now discharged and with the Aircraft Bureau Production company in the finance division; C. H.

C. 7th company; Herbert E. Holl, ordnance department, [photograph] MARTIN FLENTJE Co. Author and Manager Play nitrate plant No. 1; Bruce Kenworthy, 2nd Lieut. 3rd Engineers; Frank J. Konvalinka, 2nd Lieut. C. A. C.; Paul W. Lorens, Co. G, now discharged and with Des Moines Bridge and Iron Works; Paul S. McCann, ensign in navy, now discharged; O. L.

Raw who were graduated at the February convocation are now in training at the naval school at Hoboken. THE WRITING ON THE WALL "What's the meaning of all those names up on the physics building?" inquired the sight-seer. "Not the names of the architects, I know." "The names of all who get A's in math and physics are engraved up there for posterity," gravely elucidated the guide. And, as the sight-seer, somewhat doubting but almost convinced, passed on, the by-stander chuckled. "The idea of believing a thing like that, when it is as plain as the nose on your face that they are the names of old professors, just like the pictures of the presidents are strung up on the natural science auditorium platform. What some people won't swallow?" The sophomoric youth lit another "fag" and looked up in admiration at the names writ large upon the building. EFFICIENCY QUARTERLY IS JUST OFF PRESS The current copy of the National Efficiency Quarterly, a magazine edied by Dr. Norris A. Brisco, contains articles by four Iowa professors. "Hiring" is the title of the article written by Dr. Brisco and contains the suggestion that the hiring of all employment department headed by hands of an expert so that misfits may be avoided. The old haphazard hire and fire method, he declares, must be supplanted by an up-to-date employment department headed by an expert. TAXI PHONE 1700 MURPHY'S SERVICE Office HOTEL JEFFERSON JUNIOR ELECTRICALS MAKE FOOTBALL SIGNS "Who makes those football signs?" Well, the junior electricals claim the honor, and oh yes! the freshmen help occasionally. For the canvas signs they block out the letters on the cloth and then use gallons and gallons of paint. About the electric "Iowa Fights" and "Get Ames" and all the rest, well, it is quite a story and rather complicated: the flashers are wired and controlled by cylinders. These have contact points with brushes and the current is led from the feeders to the cylinders which are revolved by motors. One cylinder can control nine banks of lights. It takes about three hours to connect and make one of these signs, and then of course they always must be changed after the games to "Got the Gophers," and "Got Ames." [photograph] MARTIN GEIB Chm.
