Prof. McAlister Shortens
Design Work
RESULTS TO BE GIVEN
A research problem to shorten com
putation in the design of arched
bridges has been nearly completed by
E. H. McAlister, professor of archi
tecture and mechanics, and will bo
ready for publication late this term
or early in the summer. The work
has occupied his leisure time for the
better part of three years. For two
years he had the assistance of How
ard Wise, graduate student, now at
the California Institute of Technol
ogy doing research. Wise worked 18
hours a week computing necessary
mathematical tables.
Work to be Published
The charts are nearly completed,
and Percy P. Adams, professor of
architecture, is making the diagram
drawings. A research committee in
the University has provided funds to
have the drawings made, and the ac
count of the research will be published
by the University Press as a faculty
bulletin.
The exact title of the pamphlet
has not yet been determined, but it
will probably be “Elastic Arches,” or
something of the sort, Professor Mc
Alister says.
Old Process Replaced
“The materials are treated as
elastic solids,” Professor McAlister
explained. “The formation and
stressos are worked out on that basis.
The problem is to determine just
how the deformation takes place,
though it may not be visible to the
eye.”
The new process will replace the
computation by the “process of sum
mation,” as the present long arith
metical calculation is called. It will
reduce the computation to approxi
mately one-fourth of the time re
quired formerly in the design of
arches, and in that way will be of
benefit both to architects and engi
neers.
Tables Are Compiled
The most laborious part of the
work was the making of a series of
HO tables, which will bo reduced to
about a dozen. By these tables dif
ferential equations have boon integ
rated which were formerly in a very
complex state. Formulae could then
be made. Like logarithms the tables
thus compiled will be good for all
time. The line drawings of diagrams
will illustrate the application of the
mathematical forms to actual con
struction work.
The intricacy and awkwardness of
the old system was brought to Pro
fessor Me A list or’s attention when
the engineering school was a part of
the University, and he taught the de
sign of arches. Ho still teaches sev
eral structural design courses.

EXTEMPORE SPEAKING
CLASS TO BANQUET
Orators Will Pour Forth
Flood of Rhetoric
The students of Paul Patterson’s
extempore speaking class have decided
that an after dinner speech is never
so good as when delivered at the ban
quet table. As a result they are go
ing to hold a banquet Thursday night
. at which the 21 orators will pour forth
| what promises to be a flood of rhe
! toric and a deluge of rich humor such
as the College Side Inn has never
j before heard. The speeches repre
sent a class assignment with the din
i ner added to furnish realism.
! The toastmasters are Frannk Gar
i ter and Bussell Lawrence and these
j boys are expected to furnish much
| amusement with their sparkling
humor which is known all over the
I campus.
Part of the class will discuss some
well-known profs and the rest will
give their ideas on campus types. The
latter will include the handshaker,
the politician, the student and othei
well-known figures.
It promises to be a great night foi
the members of the class—and for
anyone else who happens to be list
ening at the keyhole.
VARIED PROGRAM GIVEN
IN JOINT CLUB CONCERT

time” by Lockwood, and the melodi
ous “The World Is Waiting for the
iSunrise,” by Seitz. The singing was
soft, and the modulation and choral
technique was flawless. This group
was enthusiastically received by the
audience.
The W. S. C. Glee club sang “The
Vagabond” by Speaks, a difficult
song, but beautifully sung. They
also closed the program by singing
some popular songs with lots of
‘pep” and the stirring W. S. C.
fight song.
The solos on the program were ex
cellent . Each soloist had a fine
voice and sang well. Harry Isaacs,
bass, sang “The Harbor Bell” by
Martin. Mr. lilacs has a strong and
pleasing voice. Bred Marshall sang
Gilmore’s “Day by Day.” Mr. Mar
shall has the sort of personality that
makes an audience laugh when he
steps on the stage, and he had a de
lightfully smooth voice as well. One
of his encores, “You Tell Her I
Stutter,” was cleverly sung. R0y
Bryson sang a group. Mr. Bryson’s
voice is beautifully soft and smooth
and is growing in power and reson
ance.
The skit, “The Shooting of Dan
McGrew,” was cleverly arranged.
Unquestionably, “Dum” Marshall as
the “lady that’s known as Lou” was
the star.
D0I\I WOODWARD OUT
FOR EMERALD EDITOR
(Continued from page -one)
he runs, his four years campus ex
perience would make him formid
able.
Woodward’s Record Long
Woodward’s rapid rise up
through the Emerald staff gives
him a nearly sure hold on next
year’s editorship. As managing
editor of the Emerald, he has be
come well known in journalistic
circles and was recently elected
president of Sigma Delta Chi, na
tional journalistic fraternity. He
also heads the junior class and has
served as sophomore man on the
student council. Apparently, there
is no one who will oppose him in
the coming ballot.
Metcalf is experienced in cam
pus affairs through his position as
junior man on the student council
and through being president of his
class in his freshman year. Com
mittee work of various kinds', in
cluding canoe fete chairman, is in
cluded in his actifities. His fra
ternity is Phi Sigma Pi.
Frances Simpson, who is out for
Oregana editorship, has a long list
of activities to her credit and is
recognized as a strong contender
for the place. As a daily news edi
tor of the Emerald, she has formed
many campus contacts, and as edi
tor of the honor organizations and
campus sections of the 1924 Ore
gana, she has had real training for
the position she is after. In 1923
she was assistant on the forensics
staff of the Oregana. As a varsity
debater, she has also become well
known and is president pfi Zeta
Kappa Psi. She is a member ’of
the Pro" and Con discussion group,
and of Eutaxian literary society,
and is a member of the Order of
Debate “O.” Her sorority is
Delta Omega.
Junior Woman Tip
Martha Shull, stucent council as
pirant, also received much of her
student body activities training in
journalism. She was a member of
the Oregana staff in 1922-’23 and
of the Emerald staff in 1921-’22.
She attained some prominence this
year as a member of the committee
which entertained the high school
editors and presidents. Committee
work has always taken a share of
her time, and in addition, she is
an honor student scholastically.
She is a member of Kappa Alpha
Theta.
Miss Spitzenberger, who is also
running for the student council, has
also been active on the campus in
committee work and is a member
of Alpha Omicron Pi.
Student body nominations take
place tomorrow. A large group of
candidates are expected to an
nounce themselves today, as there
are a large number of offices un
contested as yet.
