...action on the proposed hockey rink is dependent on only one thing, the raising of sufficient money. It is believed, however, by Bingham, that the cost of $500,000 estimated in the Council Report is excessive. Private donations have built the cages and Dillon Field House, and it is though possible that some graduate may contribute funds for the proposed project...
...Francisco, an anonymous doctor makes the rounds of poorhouses, reformatories, public hospitals, asylums and jails. Each year he selects 30 to 40 specimens for 472 medical students of Stanford and the University of California. Cost of transportation, preservation and storage averages $10 a cadaver. San Francisco's anonymous cadaver collector gets a dozen offers a year from people who want to donate their bodies, many more from those who want to sell. He accepts none...
With production restrictions off, with the demand for rubber declining, prices dropped with a thump far below the cost of production. In 1932 rubber sold as low as 2 3/8? per Ib. It has bounced continually upward with only one rebound since the International Rubber Regulation Committee, representing producers of 98% of the world's rubber supply, came into existence in June 1934. In the past year and a half the price has doubled, springing over the 25?-per-lb. mark last week for the first time since March 1929, despite the fact that the International Rubber Regulation Committee...
Since conditions in the ionosphere are changing constantly it is necessary to take continuous observations over long periods of time in order to obtain representative records. This is difficult to accomplish by manual means except at prohibitive cost. For this reason, Dr. H. R. Mimno of the Graduate School of Engineering, developed special automatic devices to be used for the control of the Cruft Laboratory ionosphere research station. By means of these devices, records can be obtained without the attendance of an operator...
This automatic control operated satisfactorily until 1934 when the staff of Cruft Laboratory was advised by the Federal Communications Commission that either a continuous operator watch must be provided, or the station shut down. The cost of employing an operator being prohibitive, this instruction resulted in an interruption of the experimental research program. The Commission's ruling was based on Section 318 of the Communications Act of 1934, which states that a licensed radio operator must be in charge of a radio transmitter during its operation at all times regardless of its purpose...
