WeIding Theory Changing

AS result Of experimental work
with atoms Of hydrogen the theory Of
welding may be revolutionized. The
idea behind the experiments is to
pass, the hydrogen atoms through an
electric arc which produces flame
vastly hotter than the acetylene torch,
heretofore principally used for weld
ing. BY getting this heat welding of
ordinary materials will be possible, it
is said, that will make the welded por-
lions as strong as one original piece.
II the experiments are developed com
mercially 1t may mean the passing of
riveting to a large extent.

 The crowd surrounded Trumbull and marched toward an exit, two squads of policemen entered the station and charged the crowd, smashing Inc placards with their nightsticks, One of the first pla- cards smashed was inscribed, Now free Paul Crouch"

basis that ALL the charges against
him were not sustained. The vote
to retain Dr. Marvin resulted in
tie of four to four. These facts
indicate clearly that an investiga-
tion was imperative. We are also
convinced that this matter has
been no mere tempest in the tea
pot" as various newspapers and
certain individuals have stated
There have been involved grave
moral issues of far reaching con-
sequence.
The public should know that al
though Regent c. O. Case voted
that not ALL the charges against
DR.. Marvin were sustained, he
stated that under no considera-
tion would he vote to retain him as
president of the university. Later,
when the matter of reappointment
was taken up, Regent Case voted
not to retain DR.. Marvin
While, perhaps, it may be true
that not all of the charges have
been sustained, yet we hold that
it is true that a mass of evidence
against DR.. Marvin has been pro-
duced which has not been satisfac-
tOrily answered.
The members Of the university
faculty who testified against DR..
Marvin, did so at the risk of their
positions, and their academic fu-
ture. Their action called for a
high type of moral courage. The
people of Arizona should be very
grateful to them for their fine
courage and moral daring. Cour-
age in the face of extreme odds is
all too scarce in our generation.
We respectfully call upon the
governor and the board of regents
to take immediate action in the
case which has now been brought
to a deadlock by a tie vote upon
the question of Dr. Marvin's reten-
ton. The long delay upon the part
of the board of regents in settling
this whole matter has been dam
aging to both the university and to
the community. According to a
