y Head to Attend ^residents’ School Bjorg Hansen, president of the "WCA, is planning to attend presi ients’ school, sponsored by the Na ional Intercollegiate Christian council of the YMCA and YWCA in : Berkeley, California from June 23 ! to August 2. This is the first on the presidents' school on the west coast. There are others in New York and Chicago. Approximately 30 students from western colleges and universities plan to attend. Three courses, allowing six hours of university credit are being giv- i on. Miss Fern Babcock, national secretary of the YWCA, will lecture on leadership in student Christian associations. Dr. Jack Fenneg, of the Pacific School of Education, will teach an introduction into Christian faith, and Dr. Buell Gallagher is teaching an introduction into social ethics. Mss Hansen also is planning on leading the Oregon delegation to Y Camp Seabeck from June 15 to 22. Those planning to attend are Beryl Howard, Beth Easier, Anne Whit aker, Shirley Multhauf, Violet Meisenholder, Marcia Summers, El len Sutherland, Sylvia Jensen, Bob Clark, Hariette Tozier, Norm Die bel, Bill Lieuallen, Malcom McCal lum, Robert Northrup, and Dave Mortimer. In 1898 the medical school be* ame a member of the American Medical association, accepting the entrance requirements of that body nd the enrollment increased from 9 in 1893 to S9 to 1902. 1. The worst energies of grease are heat, cold, water and vibration. Consequently, one of the hardest things to lubricate is an airplane. Until recently, the only answer was to use a number of different greases — heat-resistant, cold-re sistant, water-resistant, etc. —and lubricate the plane frequently. 2* Even then, airlines had a high replacement parts problem due to lubrication failure. Know ing this, our Union Oil engineers realized there would be an excellent market for a grease that would lick the problem. And since we were in competition, and wanted business, they set out to find one. 3. The result was a strontium base grease we named Strona. Strona proved to be absolutely insoluble in water. In its two grades it gave maximum protection at any temperature from 300° F. to -40°F. And it would lubricate 90% of the parts on a transport plane — a job which formerly took 8 to 12 different greases. PORT | SIDE I STARBOARD SIDE 14. In the first service test made with Strona, a leading airline lubricated each of its ships on one side with Strona and on the other side with regular greases. During the 10-month test, the Strona-lubricated sides of their ships went 7 times as long between grease changes as the other sides. 5* Furthermore, not one part lubricated with Strona showed any sign of breakdown during the entire 10 months—the first time in the line’s history that this had happened. As a result, that airline and several others are now using Strona almost exclusively. 6. Naturally we're happy about this new prod uct. But more important, we believe, are the economic conditions that inspired its develop ment. Under anything but the American system of free, competitive enterprise we would never have had the incentive to put the time and ef fort we did behind Strona or behind the other product research we’re continuing to do today.
