During the past month, under the direction of Coaches Farrell and Mikkola, assisted by Haggerty and O'Neil, informal outdoor practice has been held, when weather permitted. Weightmen and candidates for the discus and javelin have been out regularly since the I.C. 4A. meet on March 2, and the call for long distance men was issued two weeks ago. Others who cared to attend practice during this time were offered the advantages of special individual instruction before the main body of hurdlers, sprinters, and jumpers turned out today. Candidates for the Freshman team, after a lay-off of two weeks...

...President Hoover proclaimed the national origins quotas of immigration ordered by Congress and operative after July 1. Attorney-General Mitchell had advised him that the proclamation was mandatory.

Also, magnetic properties of iron and steel are very well known; although some special magnetic alloys have been developed recently which have unusually high magnetic qualities with low degrees of magnetism...
Great improvements have been made in certain classes of insulating materials during the past few years. As a result, it has been possible to design overhead transmission lines to operate at 220,000 volts. Transformers are built to operate up to 500,000 volts. Furthermore, when lines, transformers, and generators, or switches and similar apparatus are put into service, it is almost safe to predict that they will operate indefinitely without electrical break-down, unless the insulation is damaged by some abnormal electrical surge such as lightning strokes, or high voltages induced in the system by short circuits, or arcing...
