October 15, 1981

Members of the St. Louis County police bomb and arson squad began sorting through ashes and rubble in January Hall late Wednesday night, searching for evidence on the cause of that fire.

Bomb and arson squad investigates four fires; damage to campus buildings set at $35,000

Arson has been determined to be the cause of four separate fires reported within a half hour's time on campus late Wednesday night, Oct. 7. The St. Louis County Police Bomb and Arson Squad has begun an investigation. No injuries were reported.

The most extensive damage, esti- mated at $30,000, was in January 110, a large lecture hall formerly used as a mock court room, where a fire destroyed a speaker's stage, severely damaged the west wall and caused plaster to peel from the ceiling. Electrical fixtures and outlets were also damaged. Smoke from the blaze blackened walls in the hall outside the auditorium and up to the second floor, but the East Asian Library upstairs escaped both fire and smoke damage. Investigators have not determined how this fire began, although an odor of a flammable liquid was detected at another fire site.

Firefighters from Clayton, Ladue, Maplewood, Richmond Heights and Uni- versity City responded first at 10:52 *m. to reports of minor fires at cMillan and Prince halls before they re- ived the call for the January fire. In

the McMillan hall basement a piece of furniture was set ablaze, resulting in damage estimated at $5,000, while at Prince, a fire was set in a trash can in a lower level classroom. A small area of carpeting was scorched in the Prince classroom.

The major blaze in January was un- der control shortly after midnight. While fighting that blaze, firefighters received word of a fourth fire in a dumpster out- side Compton Hall.

Clean-up crews began working in January 110 early Thursday morning, and it is expected that those facilities will be reopened in about a week. In the meantime, classes have been relocated. Permanent repairs will be made over se- mester break.

Neither university officials nor investigators from the Bomb and Arson Squad have any indication as to who was responsible for setting the blazes. If you have any information about the fires that would be helpful to investigators, call the toll-free arson hotline, 800-39-ARSON, or the St. Louis County Police Bomb and Arson Squad, 889-3318. A reward is offered for those providing information leading to the ar- rest and conviction of those responsible.

Radar pioneer Edward Bowles to speak on patents, skullduggery

Edward Lindley Bowles, a pioneer in the development and application of radar, will deliver two lectures on cam- pus this week. A key figure in the development of 20th-century electronic technology and its application to the U.S. military effort during World War II and thereafter, he will speak at 4 p.m. Oct. 13 and again at the same time Oct. 14 at informal seminars which all mem- bers of the WU community are invited to attend.

Bowles, who earned a BS degree in electrical engineering from WU in 1920 and an MS degree at MIT in 1922, will talk on "Tinkering and Skullduggery: Alexander Graham Bell and the Patent- ing of the Telephone" Tuesday in room 113, Busch Hall. Wednesday, he will speak on "Larceny v. Integrity: Early

Patents in Electronics" in room 103, Lopata Hall. On this occasion, he will discuss the origins of the Deforrest au- dion and other early vacuum tubes. Both seminars are cosponsored by the depart- ments of History and Technology and Human Affairs as part of an effort to focus attention on the new program in "Technology and Liberal Arts."

Bowles created a program in elec- trical communications at MIT and was placed in charge of it in 1925. Later, he headed the communications division, Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT from 1937 to 1963. A colleague, Karl L. Wildes of MIT, credits Bowles with the successful leadership of a re- search project in radio, fog, and aerial navigation research that was the

Homecoming week begins with dance, concert

Three elements are essential to homecoming at WU:

Music. Music to march and dance to, cheer with, build floats by.

Paper. Yards of colored ribbons (myrtle and maroon, mostly) fashioned into floats; pompons; signs in support of the Battling Bears; papier-mache effigies of their opponents.

Traditions. Like cheerleaders, pep rallies, the Red Rose Cotillion.

This year's homecoming will lack in none of these elements.

The main event of Homecoming '81, Oct. 17-24, will be the homecoming game at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, when the Battling Bears meet the team from Principia College at Francis Field.

The Red Rose Cotillion, an occasion for dancing, nostalgia and fantasy, will be held in Holmes Lounge at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17. Live entertainment and refreshments will be provided. Tic- kets are $3 per couple and may be pur- chased at the Edison Theatre box office, Oct. 14-16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or at the door.

On Sunday, Oct. 18, the South-40 swamp will be the scene for a picnic and concert, beginning at 3 p.m. Additional music will be broadcast by KWUR.

Students may vote on Monday and Tuesday to identify the likenesses be- tween photographs of four of the famous WU gargoyles and WU faculty and ad- ministrators for the Gargoyle Guild. Voting will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the homecoming information booth in Mallinckrodt.

For anyone whose school spirit has lagged during the week, a noon concert will be given on Thursday by the WU Band in the Quadrangle. The enshrine- ment of the winners for the Gargoyle

Campus researchers recycle helium to ensure use of vanishing resource

Everyone has seen lighter-than-air helium balloons floating slowly skyward. The balloons eventually come down; the helium doesn't. On a much larger scale, helium is being lost as waste by natural gas companies which extract it along with the fuel they sell.

At WU, a new facility has just been completed to conserve helium by recy- cling it after experiments. The facility, financed by a $127,300 matching grant from the National Science Foundation, is housed in the basement of Crow Hall. It is the first of its kind in Missouri.

"What we are doing here is looking ahead a long way," said project director Kazimierz Luszczynski, WU professor of physics. "We may well reach a point in the next few decades when our helium- rich natural gas reserves are virtually ex- hausted."

Despite its most familiar association as a balloon propellant, helium is a powerful refrigerant. When cooled into a liquid state, it chills surrounding materials close to absolute zero, a hypo- thetical temperature characterized by complete absence of heat. It also exhibits rare properties such as superfluidity, the ability to flow without friction.

Luszczynski and Ronald K. Sund- fors, professor and co-director of the re- cycling project, are among several scien- tists in the WU Department of Physics who are using helium to investigate the nature of matter at low temperatures. They also use helium to cool supercon- ducting magnets, many times stronger than electromagnets.

When a sample of matter interacts with a strong, steady magnetic field, the nuclei of the atoms produce radio fre- quencies in a range similar to that of a CB or FM radio. Studying these frequen- cies can reveal enormous amounts of in- formation about the molecular structure and dynamics.

Helium gas is recovered from experiments and com- pressed in containers for storage.

Members of the WU Department of Chemistry, too, use superconducting magnets, both in basic research and as a non-invasive imaging tool for scanning chemical processes in .intact organs and in whole animals. Further benefiting from helium's unique nature are electri- cal engineers, who fabricate and study microchips at cold temperatures, and medical researchers engaged in quick- freezing biological samples.

When the recycling system swings into full operation, at least 90 percent of the gas will be recovered from these kinds of experiments. Pipelines leading into huge, room-size bags collect helium from laboratories in Compton, Crow and McMillen halls. The gas is then com- pressed, purified and liquefied, at which point it is ready for reuse. According to Luszczynski, the system will be able to recycle a minimum of 20,000 liters of helium per year.

Though the U.S. Bureau of Mines ran a national helium conservation pro- gram for a little more than 10 years end- ing in 1971, recent legislative efforts to reinstate the program have failed. "It's almost certain that helium will play an important role in future technology," Luszczynski said. "The irony may be that just about the time when we are ready to use a lot of it, there may not be any left. Low temperature research may become limited to places like WU, where a liquefier and recovery system en- sure helium's availability."

BOWleS ~~ continued from p. 1 groundwork, Wildes has written, "which enabled MIT to establish and operate so rapidly and efficiently the MIT Radar School and the MIT Radiation Laboratory, important in the conduct of the Second World War."

During World War II, Bowles be- came an expert advisor to Secretary of War Henry Stimson, and worked as a problem-solver for him, General George C. Marshall and General H. H. "Hap" Arnold. He was awarded the Medal of Merit by President Harry S Truman and the Distinguished Service Medal. He was appointed honorary commander of the civil division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

He and his wife, Lois Wuerpel Bowles, daughter of the late Edmund H. Wuerpel, a former dean of the WU School of Fine Arts, have been generous contributors to this University. Bowles Plaza, named in their honor, commem- orates a gift they made some years ago in memory of their parents. A second gift made under a life-income agreement will establish a medical research fund at WU's School of Medicine in the name of their son Frederick Wuerpel Bowles.

Bowles and his wife reside in their suburban home outside Boston.

Pianist Joshua Rifkin performs for fourth annual ragtime festival

"Ragtime '81," a rousing excursion into the joyous ragtime years, will take place at 8 p.m. Oct. 16-18 in Edison Theatre.

The festival, which features a solo performance by renowned pianist Joshua Rifkin, is being staged for the fourth year. By focusing exclusively on this music of syncopated rhythms and lilting melodies, the event is winning recogni- tion as the country's leading authentic ragtime festival.

Scheduled for Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17 are exciting, seasoned musicians and performers drawn from both coasts, as well as ragtime's own cra- dle, St. Louis. They include festival head Steven Radecke, Richard Zimmerman, Ian Whitcomb, the Amherst Saxophone Quartet, Trebor Tichenor and the St. Louis Ragtimers, and Dave Roberts.

On both evenings, members of the St. Louis Ragtime Ensemble will perform modern dances interpreting the dazzling,

carefree spirit of ragtime. In addition to repertory dances, they will perform the premiere of "The Grizzly Bear Rag," set to an Irving Berlin song about this dar- ing dance fad of the early 1920s. The work was choreographed by Mary-Jean Cowell, associate professor of dance.

"Ragtime '81" concludes on Sun- day, Oct. 18 with a solo performance by Rifkin, the classically-trained pianist noted for the pure pre-jazz elegance of his ragtime playing. Rifkin's pioneeiing recordings of Scott Joplin rags were a major factor in the popular rediscovery of America's first great black composer. Rifkin is also an expert in Renaissance and Baroque music, an outstanding American musicologist, conductor and composer.

Tickets for performances are $6 gen- eral admission, §4.50 for area students and WU faculty and staffand $3 for WU students. For reservations, call the Edison Theatre box office at Ext. 6543.

300 high schoolers to attend PAA Day Highlighting Performing Arts Day,

Monday, Oct. 19, new Performing Arts Area artist-in-residence Hollis Huston will present a one-man show marking his St. Louis acting debut. Titled "Beau- mains" and based on Malory's story of Sir Gareth from Morte d'Arthur, the performance will be viewed by over 300 St. Louis area high school students.

They will be attending the day-long program, inaugurated last year by Diane Lee, assistant professor of drama, and sponsored by the Performing Arts Area. Its purpose is to afford college-bound students a behind-the-scenes look at the world of drama, dance and related dis- ciplines on the WU campus.

At Mallinckrodt Center studios and other sites, PAA faculty members will hold workshops on such topics as im- provisation, jazz dance, ballet, speech, scene and lighting design, children's theatre, stage combat, kung fu, and techniques for warming up the mind and the body.

In another special performance, members of the dance division will per- form several modern dances from its

widely-hailed ragtime repertory. The Admissions Office will present a slide show on campus life and activities.

Huston is a professional actor who has toured widely alone and with the MUM Company, a Delaware-based ensemble with a repertory based on medieval and Renaissance literature. He hopes to establish the company in St. Louis.

Registration for Performing Arts Day is complete.
