New Machine Turns
Numbers to Music
The numbers racket has taken a new twist!
Numbers can now be used for anything from testing
military programs to playing music by mathematics as a
result of research in the recently developed field of digital
data.

Photographs
On Display
An exhibition of photo
graphs and drawings of the
works of one of Mexico's fore
most modern architects, Felex
Candela, is on display on the
first floor of the Hetzel Union
Building.
Milton S. Osborne., head of the
Department of Architecture, said
the display traces the develop
ment of Candela's style and shows
his experimenting with plasticity
of form and design.
. Candela, who is an archite ctural
engineering consult ant, has
worked with many architectural
firms both in Mexico and the
United States.
Osborne describes Candela as
a "genius in thin-shell design be
cause he is able to. translate this
design into simple erection tech
niques which are important in
a rch i tecture."
Osborne added that while Can
dela's buildings are inexpensive,
they require a great deal of hand
craftsmanship if they are to be
successful,
The exhibit which is being
sponsored by the Department of
Architecture and the Architec
tural League of New York City
will be shown until Nov. 213.

on display during the past week
in the Conference Center.
The machine has been used
to demonstrate the uses of dig
ital collection and recording
techniques for a seminar on
"Digital Data," sponsored by
the College of Engineering and
Architecture and the Continu
ing Education Services in con
nection with the Ordinance Re
search Laboratory.
Digital data involves the meth
nds of obtaining data from such
,testing programs as those by the
defense department for missiles
and rockets so that the data may
be entered into machines for proc
essing, according to Francis P.
IFinlon, associate professor of en
,gineering research at the Ord
nance Research Laboratory, chair-
man of the seminar.
Digital data is a new field,
really developed within the past
five years, Finlon said. Without
these techniques it would be al
most impossible to conduct the
testing programs. for it would he
impossible to reduce the data by
: manual methods, he added.
"By 1965 we may be trusting
our souls to number systems,
Finlon said. Techniques intro
duced in this field will prob
ably be used in future air 'rats
fic control, process contzol,
missile fire control and auto=
matic checkout systems.
About 40 members of the mili
tary services and civilians at
tended the 'seminar. Lectures
were presented by faculty mem
bers of the engineering research
staff and by speakers from other
institutions and from commercial
and military organizations.
The participants in the seminar
covered in detail the collection,
recording, and conversion of test
data to a form compatible with
digital computers.

It might be a long time be
fore a certain nine coeds will
ride the elevator in McElwain
again. It seems they were rid

the electricity went off and
they were stranded.
A music professor was in
structing his class in music
history when the lights went
off. He told the class that it
would only be a short delay
until they were back on and
said he would play a record
to illustrate one of his points
in order to waste no time. He
walked over to the phonograph
with record in hand before he
realized the machine wouldn't
work without electricity either.
The class was excused.

with 10 rolls concealed under
her coat.
There are now two graves on
