N®w Under Fire at Kqr-
•ione Studio
Picture taking of upper clansmen,
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors is
going forward again this week. Aft-
er a brief intermission necessitated by
the exams.
The upper classmen, unlike the
Freshmen, are not held to any hard
and fast time but are assigned a period
of three days or so after which the
picture should be taken. However,
the editor of the Campanile urges all
upper classmen who wish to have their
pictures in with their respective class
to prompt action, as no future time
will be available if they fail to keep
their appointment.
The editorial work is progressing
nicely, according to Jack Glenn, and
some of it will soon be ready for the
engraver. A gang of ad-men, under
the supervision of Lovett Abercrom-
bie, is scouring the city in search of
advertisers.
Below are the names of those sched-
uled to appear before the camera at
the Keystone Studio this week:
The following Juniors will please
go to the Keystone Studio during the
week of February 22, to have pictures
made for the Campanile.

J. Honey *22, Has Rttpontlbl* Position
With Wostorn Klootrte Co.
Jake Henry, who entered Rico In-
stitute in the fall of 1017, received
quite a wrlteup in the last iaaue of
the Hawthorne Microphone, the semi-i
monthly newspaper of the Western
Electric Co.
Henry left Rice during the war to
teach Military Tactics at the State
University at Austin, with the rank
of Lieutenant in the Regular Army.
He went to work for the Western
Electric Co. upon his graduation from
Rice in 1922. Before being assigned
to Hawthorne, he had been employed
as assistant foreman of the timber
treatment plant of the M. K. 6 T.
Railroad. He took the Merchandise
student course and was made instruc-
tor of the branch's training school in
May, 1928. Going in December, 1923,
to what was then the Clerical Division,
he took charge of the office service or-
ganization.
In November, 1924, he was trans-
ferred to Switchboard Billing and
Analysis Department, 6936-8. as chief.
He took over supervisor's conference
training in October, 1926, holding that
position until the time of his present
advance to Division head, supervisor
of merchandise personnel.

fThe question iisomitimes asked:
Where do young men get when
they enter a large industrial organi-
zationf Have they opportunity to
exercise creative talents, or are they
forced into narrow grooves ?
This series of advertisements
throws light on these questions. Each
advertisement takes up the record of
a college man who came with the
Wrestinghous£ Company a fter grad-
uation and within the past ten years.
Engineer!
Arrest that Bolt
m
^HE Sales Department was
talking in emphatic and easily
understood language. It was say-
ing, "We want action."
At Westinghouse, action in many
cases is another word for research.
joseph slepian ^n(| research works toward selected
goals. In this case the goal was for new apparatus
to make unchained lightning more respectful of
pov?er plants, lines and equipment.
Today, as a consequence, the electrical industry
is the beneficiary of the "Autovalve Lightning
Arrester", perfected to a degree of efficiency, long
service and universal utility never dreamed of be-
fore. Behind that picture you find Joseph Slepian.
With two degrees from Harvard, he started
training in our East Pittsburgh Shops in 1916.
A year later he entered the Research Department.
This was the lightning arrester situation which
Slepian took into the research camp: There were
two different types of apparatus. One, called the
multi-gap, was used chiefly on poles of distribu-
tion circuits. When lightning struck, it frequently
caused transformer troubles and damaged equip-
ment. For high-voltage application there was
the cumbersome electrolytic arrester. Its per-
formance was good enough. Bur it required con-
stant attention; was costly of upkeep; and could
not be used on poles.
When Slepian perfected the Autovalve Arrest-
er, the demand was so great that orders could not
be filled. It was entirely new. One type of ap-
paratus solved the whole problem —no more
costly care. It stands up indefinitely, whether
used on poles or on the ground—-sufficient
reasons for yearly sales exceeding $2,000,000.
Such results may depend as much on a phase of
an engineer's past training as on his immediate re-
search. Take the radio horn which gives the natural
tone to Radiola sets. It was Slepian's mastery
of mathematics, in which he specialized at Har-
vard, which contributed toward that big advance
in the early days of loud-speaker popularity.
The man with "hidden reserves" is constantly
finding them called upon to "climb peaks and cross
mountains" in institutions like Westinghouse.
