Chapel Bell Tolls Another Victory,
Rings Continually for Five Hours
In Celebration of Jap Surrender
JIMMY DeLAY
O.D.K. President
Dr. Snyder Predicts
Use of Atomic Power
For Post-War Heat
The first application of atomic
power for peaceful pursuits will
probably be for heat, I)r. Rufus H.
Snyder, supervisor of the physics
laboratory at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and
former associate professor of physics
at the University, has stated here.
Returning on a visit to the campus,
Dr. Snyder said that atomic energy
“acts as a good fuel." With public
interest at paramount peak, large-
scale research will be continued and
atomic power should be practical for
postwar use "in the not-too-distant
future,” he said.
"Scientists have done in the past
three years what ordinarily would
have required thirty years," the phy
sicist declared. "But methods for
controlling and upplylng atomic
energy to peacetime uses have not
been developed fully, and this may
tuke many years, even with vast re
search facilities.”
Dr. Snyder is associated with the
Fercleve Corporation, which co
operatively works with other firms at
Oak Ridge in the manufacture of the
atomic bomb and the development
of processes for release of atomic
energy. He said that the growth
of Oak Ridge from a peach orchard
into a town of 76,000 population in
two years was "amazing.” The town
has progressed to semblances of cul
ture also, Synder explained, through
organization of art and music ap
preciation clubs established by the
worker-citizens.
Three graduates of the University
who played a prominent role in pre
liminary scientific investigation of
the utomlc principle are I)r. E. T.
Booth, research instructor at Colum
bia University; Dr. Tumell Hanson,
research physicist with the Eastman
Kodak Company, and Dr. Francis
Slack, professor of physics at Van
derbilt University.

now.”

most wonderful thing I’ve heard In

Sirens, l)uiiciii<r,
(-onfetti, Shouting
A<l<l to Oc 'Fusion
By Billy Iturson
Carrying out a Georgia tradition
which has existed since the end of
the War of ls;2, the hell In the
chapel tower tolled to the populace
of Athens the glad tidings thut the
Second World War had ended Tues
day night.
From a few minutes after 7 o’clock
until midnight, Georgia freshmen
took turns ringing the hell, and not
once in that five hour period did the
Pools cease. This ringing set off a
celebration unprecedented in the his
tory of Athens.
According to Dr. Tom Reed the
j present bell has been in the tower
| for the past 30 or 35 years, and It
was rung at the close of World War
I. A hell has been in the spot of
the present one since 1793, and al
though it is not known to be a fact,
it Is thought that the ringing of one
of these bells sang out the ending
of the War of 1812, the Mexican War,
tile War Between the States, and
tin- Spanish American War.

. ,. Phi Delta Theta fraternity held
coming initiation Tuesday night, August 14,
| for Stewart Culpepper, Orlando, Fla.
on Sunday night touched off u minor,
pre-mature celebrutlon. At 9:30
o’clock a band of students upon hear
ing what they thought was the mes
sage of surrender begun tolling the
bell, und kept It up for over an hour.
This tolling was followed by auto
mobiles lacing through tho streets,
honking horns and the setting off of
sirens. Dcun William Tute soon ap
peared on the scene and assured the
students that the report was false.
But this was only a fraction of the
Jubilance oil Tuesday. Once the
news whs Hushed over the rudio,
everyone rushed out. Crowds quick
ly congregated In the ulreudy con-
jested streets und the din caused by
shouting, sirens, auto horns, and a
guluxy of other sounds was almost
unbelievable.
Everyone was hilrarlous, running
rough shod over town embracing
everyone they met. Ticker tape and
confetti were thrown from the Mutual
Building, Holman Hotel, Georgian
Hotel, und other buildings. Auto
mobiles raced through tho streets
scattering streamers of paper.
Street Dunce Held
After 9 o’clock the Music Shop
set up a public address system in
front of the store, hud the block of
the store on Lumpkin street roped
off, und one und all, young and old,
danced In the street. Barefooted
girls Jitterbugged with happy Naval
cadets. Old men and women wore
seen swinging It out along with the
toddling tots who made a pretense at
dancing.
Topping the occasion und adding
to the merriment, the Gridiron initia
tion went on as usual, through the
crowded streets, oblivious of the
throngs This “horseplay” attracted
practically everyone, and those being
initiated certainly had the satisfac
tion of having a large and apprecia
tive audience. About S o'clock when
they went indoors for the more seri
ous ceremonies, the crowd returned
to its former surging status, wander
ing aimsly and happily.
Girls Go In Early
University girls reluctantly re
turned to their dormitories at 11
o’clock, although they wanted to
dance until dawn. Their having to
leave put a damper on the celebra
tion, but the festivities continued
through the wee hours of the morn
ing.
A more serious note was touched
by the large attendance at a most
Impressive thanksgiving service at
the First Baptist Church. The audi
torium was filled to overflowing with
people who wanted to praise their
Maker for the coming of peace.
Thus, peace came to Athens.
