comnoN’s studiesREVEAL NEW FACTSabout nature ofCOSMIC RADIATIONComplete Month’s StudyIn Rocky MountainLaboratoryTAKES WORK TO ITALYby LOUIS N. RIDENOUR, JR.In thi.s enlightened apre, sciencesuch gets into the newspapersmuch vnore frequently than it tTT^edto. Cosmic rays, bearing a namewhich is “good copy”, makes thefront pages with surprising regular¬ity. Chicago knew that Professor.Arthur H. Compton, young wizardif the department of physics at theI niversity, had left, a month ago,to study cosmic rays in the Rocky.Mountains. IDr. Compton has returned. He jhroqght w’ith him a few more factsaboii^ the cosmic rays, little of the Inature of which is known. Although jthere are good indications that cos- |niic rays are a radition similar to ilight, hut of infinitely shorter wave 1length, we can’t be sure that they |aren't made up of electrons, travel- iing with speeds approaching that of !light.Consider ResultsThe work of Dr. (h)mpton’s expe¬dition in the west has had two verydefinite results. First, the most ac¬curate work which has yet been doneindicates that there is no- disoern-ihle variation from hour to hour inthe intensity of the rays; and sec¬ond, it has been shown that thereare at least three components ofdifferent wave lengths which go tomake up the radiation grouped un¬der the name “cosmic rays”.The first of the above mentioneddi.scoveries is of importance in de¬ducing the place of origin of therays. If they come from the sun,they should be intense in the day¬time and weak at night. If theycamT from the stars, they shouldbe most intense when the MilkyWay is directly over the observer..Xeither is the case, and it is assum¬ed. for lack of a better hypothesis,that cosmic rays have their originin the “empty” space between stars.Determine OriginThe fact that there is no varia¬tion in the intensity of the rays fromhour t^) hour indicates that theycome indi.scriminately from allparts of the heavens. That theydo not come from the earth has beenshown pretty conclusively by .send¬ing .sounding balloons aloft, carry¬ing instruments for recording theintensity of the rays. The higherthe balloons rise, the more intensethe rays become, for there is less at-(Continued on page 5)Hold Choir TryoutsIn Mitchell Tower% .Tryouts for both men and womenfor positions on the University choirare being held every day from 11:30to 12:30 and 2:30 to 4:30 in thechoir office in Mitchell tower underthe direction of Mack Evans.

Through personal solic¬itation and promotion about thecampus on the part of the .staff. TheDaily Maroon hopes to stimulate stu¬dent attendance at this year’s athlet¬ic events by widely circulating thesepass books.Reduce PriceSelling at a reduced price of$7.50, the “C” books admit studentsto all football, basketball and other; games in which University teams willparticipate through'out the next threequarters. Louis Ridenour, editor-in-chief, said yesterday, “It is myj belief that no enterprize on theI campus is more worthy of the activeI support of The Daily Maroon than, this sale of “C” books that thei Football Tickets committee is con¬ducting. We are offering our facil-! ities to the committee in recognitionI of this fact.”, Mr. Blair, chairman of the tic-1 ket sales, and Coach A. A. StaggI lauded the action taken ‘ by TheI Daily Maroon.It is planned to launch the salej on Monday of next week. A sales stand will be maintained by TheDaily Maroon in the Bursar’s officefor the entire week. “Payment ofone’s tuition and purchase of a “C”book should go hand in hand; bothare equally important and neces¬sary,” will be the slogan of thecampaign promoters.A “Bargain”Robert McCarthy, Busine.ss man¬ager of The Daily Maroon, com¬ments that this year represents the“best buy in athletic contests thathas ever been offered to students.With Chicago playing Yale on Oc-toiber 17; and Purdue, Illinois, Wis¬consin and Arkansas on subsequentSaturdays, students with “C”books will more than get theirmoney’s worth. There will followwinter and spring quarter sports ofthe same caliber. This is an op¬portunity for students to back areal cause, and benefit tremendous¬ly al the same time.”Provision will be made for a re¬served section in the grandstand forfor all holders of “C” books. Thissection will be on the fifty yard lineand guarantees the choicest seatsfor students. Tickets for the Yalegame are completely taken up; onlystudents with “C” books will be en¬abled to see this headline event ofthe football season in Chicago.Cranks” Appear Among ThousandsOf Listeners toi Radio ProgramsIf the usual methods of estimat¬ing the number of people listeningCommittee have each pledged $1,000 i to a radio broaticast were appliedannually: I.ester W.

Two groups of the .samesex have more reading interests incommon than any two groups of dif¬ferent .sexes. The next two most im¬portant factors influencing readingtastes are amount of schooling andoccupation.Women are much more interestedin reading about marriage and di¬vorce than are men. Prohibition andprohibition violations have appealfor all classes of men except highschool teachers. Except for house¬wives, women have very slight inter¬est in reading about prohibition.In public morals, however, the con¬ditions are reversed, for though wom¬en as a class are much interested inreading about public morals, men arelittle concerned.These are some of the findings ofa national study of American readinghabits now being made by the Grad¬uate Library School of the UniversityThe investigators, Douglas Waplesprofessor and acting dean of theschool, and Ralph W. Tyler, of theBureau of Educational Research,Ohio State university, give their'findings in a book entitled “WhatPeople Want to Read About,” pub¬lished by the American Library As¬sociation and the University Press.The reading preferences of onehundred and seven groups, each of100 individuals,’ representing all classes of .American people in vari¬ous parts of the country, have beenobtained by Professors Waples andTyler. No attempt was made t^ findwha tspecific titles were most inter¬esting to readers, but the investiga¬tors did attempt to learn w’hat of 117,subjects, such as “the next war,”“sports,” “successful marriage,” havethe most appeal. The 117 subjectsrepresented the classification of thetopics upon which articles are writ¬ten in contemporary magazines.Magazines were chosen as being themedian between newspapers andbooks. Fiction was excluded fromthe present study. CHARLES MORRISONSPEAKS AS C. T. S.OPENS 77TH YEARThat we have come to a turningpoint in the history of thinking, .apoint where people will turn oncemore to a belief in God, was theopinion expressed by Charles Cla.v-ton Morri.son, editor of the Chris¬tian Century and a new member ofthe Chicago Theological seminary,at the opening exercises in GrahamTaylor hal.’ yesterday. In continu¬ing his address on “Religion and theChanging Intellectual Climate,” Mr.Morrison claimed that the work ofpreachers has been made more dif¬ficult during the last generation bythe philosophy which taught that allpleasure in life was derived fromthe quest of an object, while the at¬tainment was of no importance.However, in his opinion, the day ofthis philosophy is passing, and inits place has come a new belief inthe dignity of man, and the perman¬ence of things in this \vorld. Oncemore man will begin to think ofhimself as dependent upon somegreater power than himself, and asthe agency of some power to w'homhe is responsible for the incentive ofhis acts.(Continued on page 4)Ancient Egyptian Marriages Used No Ceremony,Publications on Oriental Civilization RevealMarriage by simple private con¬tract between the parties and divorceby equally simple means prevailedamong the Egyptians of the Ptole¬maic period, 300-30 B. C., and earl¬ier, according to William F. Edger-ton, associate professor of Egypto¬logy at the University. Dr. Edger-ton’s study of Egyptian marriage hasjust been issued as the first part ofa new series of publications on anci¬ent Oriental civilization.“In native Egyptian law, marriagewas a private contract; there is noevidence that any civil or religiousofficial participated,” Professor Ed- gerton says in his monograph. “Nowritten document was required.”Apparently a legal marriage wasconstituted either by the mere factthat the couple regarded themselvesas husband and wife, or by their pub¬lic recognition of the fact that theyso, regarded themselves.The marriage continued during mu¬tual consent; either party could dis-.solve it at will, and there is no evi¬dence that the law attached any pen¬alty. Furthermore, if the contractingparties desired, they could limit in ad¬vance the period for which their mar¬riage should continue. »'■ 248 Men PledgedDuring First WeekTwo hundred and forty-eight |men have accepted bids to twenty- Ieight fraternities, following oneweek of pledging.

ThompsonAssistant: Edward FriedmanCOLLEGE STUDENTS AND THE DEPRESSIONTi*. ^ — —The effects of the much-discussed depression have finally be¬come evident at the University, simultaneously with their appear¬ance at all the colleges and universities. It is decreed that no mem¬ber of the faculty may remain in residence for more than three quar¬ters of any fiscal year; there are rumors that some professorial sal¬aries may be doomed to a trimming down; President Hutchins isquoted in the downtown newspapers as saying that the Universityhas operated for twenty-two years without a deficit, and he hopesthat the good record will be prolonged. More demands than canbe met have been made by worthy students on the scholarship andstudent loan funds; the placement office is swamped with personsseeking part-time jobs.So much for the effect of the depression on the University ad¬ministration. Like any large business concern today, the Universityfinds itself more tightly ’pinched for funds than is usual. Propertyholdings have shrunk in value, and donations are becoming fewer,smaller, and farther between each day.The effect of the current business situation on the undergrad- ,uate, however, is a much more esoteric thing. Among those who jwere students in the spring of 1929, there are now three distinctclasses: namely, those whose parents are still able to keep themin school, those who can attend school by securing a part-time jobto pay part of their expenses, and those entirely responsible for theirown support. Many of the last-mentioned are now unable to find !work which will maintain them in the University, and are not atpresent in the University.If we subscribe to the premise that all men are born with equal jmental capabilities, it is a necessary consequence that there areas many deserving education among those who are unable to attendschool at present as there are among the more favored ones. Thisis a sad state of affairs, but there is little to be done about it saveshake one’s head sadly and mutter something, the while hoping fora return of general prosperity.For the students who are still able to be in school, however,the depression may carry home a valuable, albeit somewhat hardly-taught. moral lesson. The value of a college education is never soclearly realized as when the possibility of getting one seems to beslipping from one’s grasp. The increasing size of the dollar in theeye of American college youth will remind each student who stepsup to the cashier’s window to pay his tuition that each meeting ofeach of his classes costs him just seventy cents of the money which isgetting scarcer each day. Cutting class is a costly pastime.It is entirely possible that registration for the courses labeled"snaps”—whether or not the appellation is justified—will fall offduring the coming year. TTie depression may instill an enthusiasmfor learning into the breasts of a good many of those who have neverknown it before.Perhaps the saddest direct result of the current situation is thehandicapping of research in all fields of learning which is bound tofollow a paucity of funds. Tbere is, fortunately, a happier effectto which the paucity of research funds will lead; viz., the improve¬ment of the quality of the research which will be done. Present-daybuyers, of shoes or ships or sealing wax or scientific research, arehkely to be a great deal more careful about the things for whichthey spend their money than were their brothers of two and a halfyears ago.Business in general, we continue to be told, is on the upgrade.Until the long-heralded better times arrive, we can all tighten ourbelts and hope. We may, however, be heartened by the prospectof the better teaching staff, better research men, and increased stu¬dent interest in the University as an institution of higher learningwhich may be encouraged by the trend toward careful buying notice¬able on all sides.—L.

Northwesternand Michigan look like a good hook¬up. It seems to this correspondentthat Chicago will face either Min¬nesota, Ohio State or Iowa. Noneof these teams look like potentialchampion.s, and Chicago has no reg¬ular season games with them. Af¬ter facing Yale, Michigan, Illinois,Purdue, Wisconsin and Indiana,one of these others ought not be sohard to beat.

Radio¬active elements present in the earthproduce “gamma” rays—radiationswhich are very similar to cosmicrays, but less penetrating. The ap¬paratus designed to detect cosmicrays must be carefully shielded ■withlead to avoid the effect of thesegamma rays. Dr. Compton tookwith him a lead shield weighing aton, to screen off these gamma rays.Penetrating Powers VaryNow’ cosmic rays, the most pen¬etrating form of radiation we know—capable of going through eigh¬teen feet of lead—do not all possessthe same penetrating power. Bysinking in a deep lake an apparatusdesigned to measure the intensityof the rays. Dr. Compton foundfound that the intensity drops offrapidity during the first few feet of immersion of the apparatus, andmore slowly thereafter. This indi¬cates that a good proportion of therays are capable of penetrating onlya few feet of water.The penetrating power being de¬pendent, to some extent, on thewavelength, it follows tljat there arecosmic rays of at least two differentwavelengths. As a matter of fact,by his depth ionization experiments.Dr. Compton secured evidence thatthere are at least three separatewavelengths which go to make upthe radiation we know as cosmic-rays. This discovery is importantfor the light which it may shed onthe cause of cosmic radiation. As¬sumptions as to the wavelength ofthe rays can be made from observa¬tions on the penetrating power, andassumptions as to the event w’hichgives rise to the radiation may bemade from a study of the wave¬length.Will Continue WorkDr. Compton, deeply interested inthe subject of cosmic rays, plans tocontinue for some time his work inthe field. Early this week he leftfor Italy, where he will do somework in the Italian Alps. He haspreviously made studies of the raysin the Himalayas. 7,789.678,163.777,789.67374.10 SEASON OPENING THIS WEEKART KASSELand his^'Kassels in the Air**Radioes Favorite Dance Orchestraat theNEWBISMARCKHOTELRANDOLPH at LASALLEDancing during dinner and supperNo Cover ChargeTable d’Hote Dinner $7.50 - %2.00Supper a la cartePHONE OTTO HARTING REGARDING SPECIALARRANGEMENTS FOR PRIVATE PARTIESBroadcasting WONfXrRA\something ....CLICQUOThas it!|t'S that smoother, richermellower flavor that makesClicquot Club the fair-hairedfavorite of many a campusparty.

M.)Friday, October 212—Joint Communion service of the Divinity school and the Chi¬cago Theological Seminary, Joseph Bond chapel.By deciphering the Sinai inscrip¬tions, one of the riddles, that haspuzzled archaeologists for years, .Professor Martin Sprengling of thedepartment of Oriental Languages 'and Literature, has traced the al¬phabet to its source and proved thatit is of Semitic origin, and notPhoenician as had been thought.The results of Dr. Sprengling’s re¬search have been published in amonograph of the Oriental Insti¬tute through the University Press.Some unsung Bedouin foreman,working for the Egyptians, mastersof the then civilized world, inventedthe rudimentary alphabet in the half-century between 1850-1800 B. C.according to the theory developedby Professor Sprengling on the basisof his translations. In order to keeprecords of operations, the Bedouintook the complex hieroglyphic in- ;scriptions of the Egyptians and de-,vised a simple system of twenty-one isymbols, discarding entirely the pic¬ture elements of the Egyptians. ,Translates Inscriptions jThe inscriptions which Professor |Sprengling has succeeded in trans- ■lating were found in Sinai in 1904 |by Sir Flinders Petrie. Sinai liesbetween Egypt and the northernpart of Arabia, just east of the Gulfof Suez, at the head of the Red ,Sea. In the mountainous region tothe south the Egyptians at the timeof Menemhet III conducted miningoperations for copper, turquoise andother minerals and semi-preciousstones. Their empire was flouri.sh-ing then, and the industrial boomwhich they created at Sinai attract¬ed as laborers numerous Bedouins,who multiplied and waxed fat on theflesh-pots set out by the Egyptian.s.There are fourteen known exam¬ples of inscriptions, and scholarshave disagreed violently on theirreading. Some have attempted toread into the inscriptions references ^to Moses and his hostility to EgyptMatch Historical FactsProfessor Sprengling’s translationsare much simpler than any hithertomade, and check with known his¬torical facts. He has shown thatmost of them are dedicatory in^ iscriptions to Baalet, the feminine jform of the god Baal, against whom |Moses and the Israelites warred, |and a priest whose cult Elijahkilled. Most of the inscriptions ex- jpress favors rendered by Baalet. or jare petitions for favors from the jgoddess. jIn the inscriptions also are refer- Iences to Seir, the land just to the !east of Sinai, which show that the ,people who made the inscriptions |and who were operating the mines ;under Egyptian direction were from ^that land. It is this reference to the ;word form of Seir that has l)eenread as the name of Moses by some •scholars. The inscription whichpresented the greatest difficulty toother archaeologists was one found jin the mine. Under the translationwhich Professor Sprengling obtain¬ed, the inscTiption simply says: “1am the badger (miner) Sahmilat.foreman, of mineshaft No. 4.Breasted’s HistoryAfter he had made this transla¬tion. Professor Sprengling found inthe ^‘History of Egypt,” written byDr. James Henry Breasted, director |of the University’s Oriental insti- |tute, a full account of the mining [operation of the Egyptians, which ,pointed out that Egyptian sources !show that at this one period fore- |men were honored and treated with jroyal courtesy, and that the mine- !shafts were named for them. Thetranslation of the dedicatory tab- ilet is proof from Semetic sources Iof this practice and enables datingof the origin of the alphabet.Departing in one section of the jmonograph frCm the careful and |scholarly statement of exactly whatcan be definitely proved, Dr,Sprengling speculates that a friend-1 2:30—First meeting of all Freshman candidates for Business Dept,of The Daily Maroon, Lexington hall, room 7.5—Organ recital.

They did.for example, indicate a house bythe letters ‘h’ and ‘s’, but theyplaced between the symbols thecomplete picture of a house. Thesimple Bedouin, unable to masterthe intricacies of the picture lan¬guage, took a bold stiep and pro¬duced sounds with a symbol thatmight be combined with others.When the pressure on the tumb¬ling Egyptian empire forced aban¬donment of the Sinai workings, anindustrial depression hit that regionwith a vengeance. The de.sert peo¬ple, u.sed to prosperity, had no in¬dustry to sustain them, and theymigrated in various directions, tak¬ing their alphabet with them. Onegroup went into Palestine andand Syria, becoming Canaanites andPhoenicians and 350 years later theLsraelites found them there.Others went into southern Arabia,bec< ming the Minaeans. Minaneawas a fertile region rich in thegoods sought by the ancient world,gold, ivory and incense. But in thisprosperous land there was no urgefor the Minaeans to migrate, andtheir form of the alphabet was neverexpended.That group which went north andbecame the Arameans were greattraders by land. They carried thealphabet to India in two differentperiods, once by sea long beforeChrist and again in the time of thegreat Persian empire of GOO B. C.This .same branch of the alphabetwas carried by the Arabic conquestinto Europe as far as Vienna.The Canaanite form of the alpha¬bet was first carried into Africa andthen into Greece. The Greeks re¬fined the alphabet so much that theirform has been restricted to a limitedterritory, but the Romans, simplify¬ing the Greek form, .sent it out on aworld conquest that is still in prog¬ress. ders, which are to be used in a pub¬lication by the Oriental Institute.Three .special .scholarships will becreated this year from an anonym¬ous donation of $90(», while two fulltuitions willl be gianted to deserv¬ing students through the gift of Mr.I.ewis E.
