Engineers Make 10 Nominations Student Council Names Officer Candidates Nominations for Engineering Student Council officers for the 1949-50 school year were made at the session of the council on Tuesday night. Jesse Kehres, George Oehmler, and Robert Tinstman were nomi nated for president. Harold Bow ditch, Donald Hackenberry, and William Hendershott are in the running for vice-president, and Frederick Auch, Blair Fissel, and Joseph Kelvington have been proposed as candidates for sec retary. Nominations Open James Etzel is the lone nomi nee for treasurer, and Prof. Law rence Perez was named for fac ulty advisor. All nominations will be held open until the next coun cil meeting on April 5, when the election will be held. Other business conducted at the meeting included a report on the progress of the Faculty Tal ent Show which will be present ed by all the student councils as the first big event in Spring Week on March 29. The council considered the merits of bringing politics into student council elections, and in a straw vote turned the plan down by an overwhelming ma jority. A four-man committee consist ing of Frederick Auch, Walter Bowditch, Milton Stone, and Robert Tinstman was appointed to investigate the possibility of establishing an Engineering Day room. The constitutional revision committee will present its pro posals at the next meeting. 7 Days to Carnival With the deadline past for entries in the Spring Week Carnival, the groups that have entered booths are settling down to the busi ness of gathering props, rehearsing acts and "recruiting" pledges to serve as targets. Delta Delta Delta has put a new twist in the "throwing things" idea. At the Tri-Delt booth the ticket holder will again be given ping pong balls to heave but his reward will be the unusual fea ture. If one ball goes through the hole in the canvas backdrop, a rabbit will slide out; if two balls go through a pig will slide out and if the thrower is lucky and puts three balls through, a Tri- Delt will slide out. This should provide tough competition for the other target booths. Another gambling booth will be supplied by Beta Sigma Rho. A ball will be rolled into an area of colored cups and persons plac ing their bets on the color that the ball rolls into will receive cour ess %edeemable for a prize. s o at • duplications, ii euftims ks *or C 111111•01 4/ o_l.

Shattering Doors Raise Curiosity, Not Business Did you ever hear of glass ex ploding? You shouldn't feel too bad if you haven't, for neither had many of the onlookers who gathered around Rea and Ilerick's drug store, at 1:15 Tuesday when one of the glass front doors shattered without anyone's help. The ex plosion scattered glass onto the pavement and inside the store. One of the onlookers explained that the glass used for doors had air pumped into it, requiring that the pressure be equal throughout. The glass explodes when it is deeply scratched, which renders th e pressure unequal. Robert Brazier, a clerk, was standing outside when the acci dent occurred and received a cut on his right hand when the force of the explosion sent th e glass shooting out onto the pavement. One of the observers remarked to Robert Heiser, manager of the store, that the accident had caused more curiosity than business. To which Mr. Heiser replied: "I won't do it again if it doesn't bring in more more business."
