Blacker Scene Of Fall Formal Dance

Last Friday night Blacker House was the scene of festive dOings, as over 50 cquples crowded the dining room and lounge on the occasion of the fall formal dinner-<iance.

Soft music greeted the cou· pIes, resplended in tuxes and strapless formals, as they sat down to a candle·lit dinner fea· turing filet mignon as entree.

A Roman Holiday Theme of the dance was a

Roman Holiday, and the lounge was colOl'fully decorated with festoons of crepe paper to give the holiday touch.

Music for the affair was fur­nished by Rod Rodriguez and his new orchestra.

tor this week·end, although sev· eral small parties in the lounge have been planned by those re· maining .in the house over the vacation.

Preparations are now geing made for the inter· house dance Dec. 6th, and while as yet the theme has not been disclosed, those in the know prophesy that Blacker will once again carry ott the mythica l prize for the best decorations. Last year a sur­realistic t reatment of a "Lost Week·end" won the laurels for Blacker.

Naval Research, GE Atom Lab In Placement Talks

Representatives of Naval Re­sea.rch Laboratories will be on the campus Monday, Dec. 8, 1947, to discuss opportunities in research laboratories of the Navy under Civil Service ap· pointment.

Examination for P·I rating will be held Jan. 12, 1948, for Chemists, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Aerody~ namicists, Physicists and Math­ematicians. Mr. J. T. Dale and Dr. W. M. Cady will interview men to wish to obta in informa­tion concerning these opportuni. ties and the mechanics of filing for and taking the examination. Gradua.te students interested in higher ratings will also be inter­viewed.

The laboratories in this area covered by these interviewers include Naval Ordnance Test Station at Pasadena and I nyo­kern, Naval Electronics Labora­tory at San Diego, and the U. S. Naval Air Missile Test c.enter at Point Mugu, Calif.

The World Student Service Fund drive ground to a stop las t Friday after a week of intensive campaigning highlighted by as· semblies, contests, and individual solcitation. Although the goa.l was not quite met, the campus made a crediable showing.

The Student Houses ran a close race, with Fleming leading the field to collect the prize money. The standings are as follows:

After the talks by the Board of Directors, the meeting was opened to questions from the floor. Among questions raised was that of compulsory Frosh attendance at assemblies, which raised furious discussion.

Party Talk Features Junior Class Meet

A very small turnout ham­,pered business at the Junior Class meeting last Monday, when only 31 of the 220 memo bel'S turned out to vote on the social program for the rest of the year.

President Chuck Forrester an­nounced to the assembled few that ' dues wou ld be assessed in the amount of $1.00, to be col· lected soon.

New Fellowsh ips Twenty-six new graduate fel­

lowships are being offered this. year for the first time by the Peps i-Cola Schola rship Board . Like the four·year·old Pepsl·Cola four·yea r college schola rship pro· gram, winners of which are ROW attending 152 colleges, this new fellowship program has as its purpose the discovering of s tu· dents of unusual ability and helping them to secure fUI·ther education.

Both programs are adminis· tered by an independent group of educators known as the Pepsi· Cola Scholarship Board and are offered as a service to American youth by 'the Pepsi·Cola Com· pany,

Any college student who will receive a bachelor's degree dur­ing the school year 1947-48 from a college or university in the United States may apply for one of the new scholarships. The fellowsh ips will be limited to those students who have finan· cial need.

The fellowships may be used at any accredited graduate or professional school in the United States or Canada and in any fi eld of study which will lead to an M.A. , Ph.D., M.D., or other ad· vanced professiona l degree.

Intercollegiate Bridge Tourna­ments were announced last week by the Chairman of the Tourna· ment Committee. Invitations to compete have been sent to 318 colleges and univerSities, in­cluding Caltech.

OnJy undergraduates are eligi· bie to play in the duplicate Con· tract Bridge event for the title and trophy. A preliminary round will be played by mail in February, a nd the 16 highest­ranking pairs will meet for the face-to·face finals at the Drake Hotel in Chicago on April 23 ancl 24.

Plans are being made for formation of a Caltech team. De· ta ils will be revea led in the near future.

THE S~UAHES' CIRCLE To the Editor:

But I warn you. If these poor misguided souls are permitted to persist and make converts, soon the entire campus will be be· sui ted and be·tied. And then you may even reach the low estate forced upon the patrons of the beanery at the East end of the campus-you may be required to dress formally to get breakfast.

Those who were present at the Assembly last Friday received a summary of ASCIT function and main duties, The topics cov­ered, unfortunately rather cur­sorily, due to the lack of time, wel'e the social program of the A.S.C.l.T., athletics. amphithea· tel' plans, By·LaW amendments, where all the money goes that comes in from the dues, and a few questions from the floor were answered in some fashion -satisfactorily for some and not so good fol' others.

Development of dyes requires both physical and organic chemistry

The synthesis of a new dye in the Iabo': rotory o r even the development of a ma nufacturing process from that syn­thesis may s till be a long way from the realization of the full potentiali ties of the new compound as a coloring mate­rial. This is illustrated by the commer­cial history of t he exceedingly fast brigh t blue d ye indanthrone a nd its halogen derivatives.

Indanthrone was t he first known an­thraquinone vat d ye and has led ton­n age sales of va t d yes in the U.S. since its introduction, despite the cammer· cia l use of well over 2.00 t ypes. In 1901, Bohn first syn thesized indanthrone by KOH fusion of 2-aminoanthraquinone. but the yields obtained were iq the range of only 25-30 per cent. Because of the industria l importance of inda n­throne, a nd the low commercia l yields o btained by the original fus ion pro­cedure , a g reat d eal of resea rch time has been spent in its study .

Severa l U.S. p atents record the fact that Du Pont organic chemists have made outstanding contributions in t his

field , particul a rl y by d eveloping the intercondensation of 2 moles of 1,3-di­bromo-2~aminoan thruquinone and re· placing the bromine by chlorination to give 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone ("Pon­sol" Blue).

This fixes the chlorine in the desired position s to give a product with greater bleach-fastness than inda nthrone a nd minimizes extraneous substitu tion that always accompanies direct chlorination of inda nthrone. The commercia l yields of 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone now being obtained by Du Pont are m a rkedly greater tha n those obta ined by Bohn and his workers.

It is just as important, however, that a water-soluble dye be m ade in a phys­ical form that g ives optimum shade a nd working qualities, such as perfect dis· persion, freedom from specks, ra pid re-

ducibility and storage s ta bility. A sig­nificant Du Pont contribution to the production of vat dyes in optimum physical form is called "turbulent Bow drowning." In this procedure. the color is dissolved in strong H,80. and then diluted by a la rge volume of water in a cons tricted tube . High turbulence is maintained during dilution and pro­duces uniform dye particles.

In this development the work of physical chemists a nd physicists, aided by electron micros~opy, ultra-centri­fuging, infrared a nd ultra·violet spec­trometry and other modem techniques, was of major impo rtance. .

The conversion of laboratory findings to a plant operation often presents unique and difficult problems that re. quire unusua1 ingenuity on the part of chemists. chemical, mechanical and electrical engineers . The work on the inda nthrones was no exception. The outstanding commercial success of " Ponsol" vat colors, typified by "Pon~ Bol" Blue is one example of the results achi~ved through cooperation of Du Pont scientists.
