INSTITUTE TO DISCUSS POLAR PACT
'LUCKY OLE SUN’
Physics Professor Harnesses Sunlight for Electrical Power
May Bring Poor Lands More Light
The creative ingenuity of an SC physics professor may soon bring a new power source to isolated, underdeveloped areas where sunshine is plentiful but electricity scarce.
Dr. Willard Geer, who is also a consulting engineer for Hoffman Electronics Corporation, has invented a small, inexpensive solar-powered electricity generator technically known as “helio-trophic solar power generator” or solar cell tracker.
Not New
The relatively simple generator consists of a plastic lens which concentrates the sun's rays on a bank of solar cells.
Although this idea is not new, the method of having the generator follow the sun all day originated with Dr. Geer.
At equal distances from the center of the instrument are two fruit jars containing a liquid with an extremely low boiling point. These parts are connected by a copper tube.
.Makes Heavier
Reside each container is a sheet metal reflector, which focuses the sun’s rays on the jars,
1 hereby raising their temperature.
When sunlight hits one reflector. the fluid in the adjacent container vaporizes and flows through the tube to the other container, making it heavier.
The generator then turns toward the heavier side, which faces the sun. If it turns too fast, the reverse occurs and it swings back. By continual minute shifts, ihe devices can follow the sun as the earth moves around it.
Improved Design
The plastic lens concentrates the sunlight on a bank of solar cells which produce six times as much current as they would under normal sunshine.
By improving lens design, the cells may be made to generate up to 12 .times the normal amount of electricity.
Usually an instrument such as this is mounted with its axis pointed toward the North Pole in order to hook up a mechanical clock or electric motor to turn the apparatus.
All such cWck drives must be i precisely built but they are expensive and require both an external power source and continual supervision to work correctly-
Dr. Geer’s device, however, needs no external power source. It uses the direct heat of the sun for its operation.
Since it corrects its own errors. it does not need personal supervision. Left alone, it will lurn toward the east in 1 lie morning, find the sun and follow ji through the sky until sunset.
Dorms Fulfill Safety Rulings
SUN POWER—Dr. Willard Geer, associate professor of
physics, demonstrates a small ,inexpensive, reliable sun-powered generator of electricity which he has developed.

is a problem that Viets Logue, foreign students adviser, has been trying to solve for some time.
The main difference between Americans and foreigners, Logue explained, is their educational and cultural background.
“Whereas Americans are educated in a liberal way, many of the foreign nations have a very strict educational system,’’ he said.
‘‘Most children are kept under constant supervision by their parents and/or relatives until they are married.
Freedom Abused
“When these people come to the United States to complete their education, they abuse their ‘new' freedom’ because they do not know what to do with it,” Logue explained.
“Although this makes the situation understandable, it still by no means excuses their action,'' he added.
Once a girl has had an un-Dleasant experience with such a high-spirited foreigner, she usually objects to all of them and refuses any invitation she might get in the future, he explained.
Men Superior
Another reason the American girl does not understand foreign men is that in most foreign countries the man, officially or unofficially, has a position, superior to that of the woman, he said.
“Any self-respecting American woman strongly objects to this,” Logue declared.
The most frequent complaints heard from foreigners about American women are that they have a lack of polish: they are too forward, and they are too masculine.
Too Complicated
“They are so complicated.” a discouraged foreign student sighed.
“They make a difference between dating, going steady, going oin as friends or just for companionship. Ilow am I to know the difference?” he wondered.
Foreign students have plenty of admiration for the way American men handle their women.
In the eyes of many European students, American women seem eas’er to "handle” when they are in Europe.
European Iling
Sophomore student Darlene Coleman explained that this was because many Americans, when they go to Europe, do things they wouldn’t dream of doing at home under their parents’ supervision.
going out with any foreigner, and in fact had to refuse many invitations because their parents would refuse to give them permission.
“We sometimes have some trouble, because they misunderstand us and our mentality,” she said. “We try lo be friendly and make them feel at home, but they sometimes do not understand we mean it—platonically.” Dates Anybody
A more liberal judgment of foreign men students was given by an undergraduate woman student.
“I do not differentiate between ' them,” she said, “and date anybody I like.
“It is time the foreign students j stopped feeling sorry for themselves, hiding behind the mask of being a foreigner. Basically, they are the same as everybody else and I treat them as such,” she concluded.
Many of SC's foreign women students have no problem at all socializing with Americans.
“I get more invitations than I can accept,” one of them said happily. “Most of the men are very nice and charming.”
Bucolic Slides Will Illustrate Noon Reading
By LYNDA ELYEA
The American landscape in words and pictures will be presented at the last English department noon reading of the semester at 12:30 p.m. today in 129 FH.
Dr. Eleazer Lecky, English professor will read from Wright Morris’ “The Inhabitants.”
Varying from previous noon readings, Dr. Lecky will project slides of the scenery described in the book as he reads the author's -impressions of the view.
“Morris’ book, which was published in 1946, is an attempt to combine words and pictures to give general impressions oi the American landscape,” Dr. Lecky said.
Rar« Book
“ 'The Inhabitants’ could almost be classified as a documentary.”
Copies of the book are difficult to find, as the book is now out of print. Doheny Library does not have the book, but copies may be purchased at some bookstores. Dr. Lecky explained.
He discovered his copy at a bookstore in Laguna Beach.
The author, a writer of fiction and criticism, taught in the SC English department during the summer of 1958. He is now in Europe and has written an article about Venice which will soon appear in Holiday.
Photos in black and white will be shown during the reading of brief explanations by the author at today’s lecture.
Midwest Scenes “Scenes from all over the country will be flashed on the screen,” Dr. Lecky said. “Most of the 52 pictures and impressions are of the Midwest, however.
No people are show'n in any of the pictures. Buildings, usually farm style, make up the composition. Morris guesses what has happened in the buildings when they were inhabitated.
“Our method of presentation— showing slides with a running commentary — ought to serve the author's purpose even tetter than a regular printed book,” Dr. Lecky said.
“The audience may be doubly aware of the material by listening and seeing at the same time.” he pointed out.
Dr. Lecky said that this last reading in the semester should be of special interest to students of cinema and other communications divisions.
East-West Treaty Disarms Antarctic

By JOAN EDMONDS
An SC student who toured Russia last summer today declared that the primary concern of the Russian people is to build up their country and to avoid a war with the United States.
Freshman cinema major Burt Bixson was one of 21 Americans who visited the Soviet Union on j a bus tour sponsored by the Maupin Tour of Russia in cooperation with Intourist, the official Russian tourist bureau.
In addition to stops in Lenin- j grad and Moscow, the tour also included eight small cities.
Crowds Gathered
“Wherever the bus stopped, a great crowd of people gathered,” the Los Angeles resident recalled.
Bixson explained that one or two people in the crowd usually i spoke English, and through these interpreters the crowd asked about America, especially its teenagers.
“One question that was hard to answer wras why we wanted war,” he said.
“There were usually a few-party members in the crowd who gave us some trouble, but on the w'hole the Russians are a kind, helpful and most curious people,” he added.
Village People
The bus tour gave the tourists an opportunity to see the country and talk to the village people.
Since last summer was the first time tourists had been officially allowed in the country, many Americans took advantage of the opportunity. In Moscow, mo^e than 6000 Americans were present, Bixson reported.
“The American exhibition in Moscow was the most outstanding sight, with everything from our country being displayed, including farm equipment, clothes, a model home and a beauty salon which was the center of attraction for both men and women,” he said.'
Bixson reported that the children were most interested in the toys and the electric train.
The Russians did not show too much interest in the luxury items, being more interested in the necessities.
Housing Problems
“Housing is one of their greatest problems with five or six families living in one flat .The Soviet people never invite you to their home because of this,” the student added.
Bixson pointed out that the highlight of his trip was a visit to Pioneer Day Camp, a camp for children of working parents complete with a full-sized railroad operated by the campers.
These youngsters do everything from selling the tickets to sweeping the tracks. Bixson said.
He explained that the tour had

After her performance here tomorrow^. Miss Horne will appear as guest soloist with the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra and then will begin another musical tour of Europe.
Since 1956 she has performed in some of Europe’s most famous opera houses, festivals and concerts.
The 25-year-old singer came to SC in 1951 on a voice scholarship.
She studied with William Ven-nard. head of the voice department in the SC School of Music.
She was also a member of SC's A Cappella Choir and the Madrigal Singers.
Locally Miss Horne ha* appeared in the Hollywood Bowl, on the Monday Evening Concert Program, as a soloist with the Roger Wagner Chorale and at the Ojai Festival.
For four years she took leading roles in productions of the Los Angeles Opera Guild directed by Cail Ebert.
This summer she did an evening of Italian opera with Brian Sullivan in San Diego.

Photo for Propaganda Authorities thought that the photo might be used for propaganda by indicating that the line was for food instead of a luxury item, Bixson continued.
“Although our tour leader spoke fluent Russian, the lawyer was not freed until he had been questioned in a small room for (Continued on Page 2)
