Louis A. Saletel, S.M. When a photographer shoots a photogra ph - tha t isn't news but when someone else shoots a photograph of the photographer tha t is news and since this is essentially a newspaper we give you this month (and with great pride) our new staff photographer, and one of our favorite people, Bro. Louis A. Saletel.

"Doc" has been doing the a rt for the Alumnus for a long, long time but good , don' t you agree? D espite his heavy schedule he has willingly and unfailingly coddled ye Ed's whims a nd fanci es as to what would or would not make good magazine art.

For his generous help a nd boundless good na ture we offer sincere thanks.

Bro. Saletel is head of the department and professor of Geology. H e got his B.S. from D ayton in '24 and his Ph.D . from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland in '36. His interest in photography transcends the mere flashing of his handy Speed-Gra phic.

H e has done considerable research into the fi eld of photography and m aintains his own dark room and complete developing equipment. H e organized and is moderator of the University Ca mera Club which numbers nearly a score of students.

Lie Detector Is Installed Here The Psychometer, more popularly known as the "lie detector," is the psychology lab's newest and most valuable piece of equipment. Manufactured by the Maico company of Minneapolis, the Psychometer is a non-recording type of lie detector. Its reaction is mo~v a ted through electrodes held in the palm of the hand which pick up changes in skin resista nce ( weat glands) a nd indicate these changes by the extent of the swing of the gal vano~eter needle.

The basic principle of the Psychometer, as with any lie detector, is the interpreta tion of the marked changes which take place in the internal organs (respira tory, circulatory, glandular, etc.) when the emotion are aroused. The degree of emotional reaction and mental activity m ay be accurately measured.

Lie detectors, which a re figuring more and more prominently for personnel tes ting, employe e relation s and in criminology, have loomed la rge in the public eye only within the past ten years. Their present commercial value i an outgrowth of early academic experimentation.

Best known of all lie detectors, and the one most commonly thought of when the ubject a rise , is the Polygra ph which has been used succe sfully in innumerable criminal cases. The Polygraph, based on the same principle as the Psychometer, is a recording type m achine which indicates its findings in a permanent manner by means of a stylus which records in ink on a continuous graph.

Changes in the respira tory system are picked up by a pneumograph (a tube filled with air and strapped across the chest ) ; changes in the circula tory system are ascertained by a sphygmograph ( the same device doctor use for taking a patient's blood pres ure ) ; changes in the glandula r system , which , incidentally, are the most delicate reactions to measure, are picked up through the electrode m ethod . All three reactions are inked in simu ltaneously on the graph.

A recording type machine of the latter na ture is on order but will be un available until after the war.

The Psychometer is being used for laboratory experiments in Psychology I and II ; for demonstrations in other (See LIE DETECTOR, Page 7)
