S. C. A. Cabinet Uses
Money
It might be interesting to
know that part of the budget
fee that each girl pays goes to
the Student Christian Asso
ciation. The cabinet of the
S- C. A decides what the
money should go for. It is
used for the following things:
1. A summer school for an
Episcopal church in the
mountains of North Carolina.
2. Erection of a church in
Kiangyin, China, where Flor
ence Moffett’s mother and
father work.
3. Donation to Near East
Relief work.
4. Free-will offering for
milk campaign at the Char
lotte Day Nursery.
To encourage early attend
ance at Sunday School, Mr.
David Ovens entertained his
class of Myers Park Presby
terian Church with a buffet
Dreakfast on Sunday, March
91, in the class house. Every
member of the class was
there at 9:30 sharp to enjoy
the tempting delicacies of
u ■ Even’s hospitality. We
hope that the girls will show
their appreciation by being at
Sunday School next Sunday
promptly at 10:00 o’clock.
Dr. Olpin Speaks
At the College
PHI BETA CHI SPONSORS
“Electrical Transmission of
Pictures and Television” was
the subject of Dr. A. R. 01-
pin’s lecture on Friday,
March 16, 1934, at 8 o’clock
p. m., at the auditorium of
Queens-Chicora College. Phi
Beta Chi, the honorary
science fraternity, sponsored
the lecture by Dr. Olpin, who
for ten years was engaged in
research on television.
Dr. Olpin stated that it was
uncertain whether or not tel
evision would ever be used in
the home, because, although
experiments in the laboratory
have been very successful, tel
evision is not practical out
side the laboratory because of
the great expense of the ap
paratus. After showing a
photo-electric cell and ex
plaining its mechanism and
practical use. Dr. Olpin had
thrown upon a screen a series
of slides showing a historical
sketch of the development of
television. He explained that
the electric eye sees things as
the human eye sees them, ex
cept that the electric eye is
much more efficient. He ex
plained this statement by
demonstrating the fact that
the human eye cannot follow
more than 15 light changes a
second, while the electric eye
can detect thousands of
changes a second.
In the second part of his
talk Dr. Olpin explained how
pictures are sent by tele
phone, radio, and telegraph.

made in the students’ chapel
