SEPTEMBER 27, 1928 N0. 2 @ur Policies The Armour Tech News is now well under way for the second semester of its existence. Until now it has been looked upon largely as an experiment, and as such creat- ed interest because it was a novelty zit Armour. Now it is rapidly evolving out of the experimental stage into a vital part of the school life. It will be reg- ularly looked for every week. On this basis, then, we will continue. Our only aim will be the aim of our great Institute, whose life we are. Our only hope will be to have something vitally import- ant to say, something about ourselves as students, and something about our school. We will serve no group, save the group to which we all belong. In the affairs of publication, also, we will continue the policy with which we started, namely, that we will offer its management, both editorial and business, through competition, to all who care to contend for any honor it has to offer. It will not be a closed company, perpetu- ated in control by some inside wire~pulling; but it will be the work of the student, for himself and for his school. Our columns are open to all. Good taste and the common good will be our only restrictions. Scholarships In this issue there appears a short article announcing the recipients of the several scholarships which are avail- able at the Institute. Besides those in Fire Protection Engineering, and those given to the various public high schools in Cook County, there are eleven individual schol- arships given to worthy students, who are usually select- ed under the direction of the President. More detailed information concerning these various awards is given in the school bulletin, page 142. It is our purpose here simply to call them to the atten: tion of any student in the Institute who aspires to their attainment. Aside from their frequent purpose as a memorial, scholarships have usually one of two objects, either to encourage excellent scholastic attainments, or else to aid worthy students who otherwise would not be able to continue their studies because of financial difficulties. In either case, a high scholastic standing is usually re- quired, along with such qualifications as good moral char- acter, honesty, aiid sincerity of purpose. Students who have demonstrated that they can meet these requirements, and who wish to apply for one of the scholarships, should not hesitate to discuss the matter with the President. __m a A Barometer for Engineers You hear it as you pass down the stairs. In the labora— torics, it is the favorite topic. The lunchroom just buzzes in discussion of the question. Even as you pass near the faculty club rooms, the raised voices of the excited pro« fessors which you so plainly hear are the result of noth- ing other than a political argument. Yes, sir! Wherever you go you must get into the debate as to whether we’ll call our next president Al or Herb. Once and for all to settle this question, so that our be» loved audience will not have to remain in suspense until election, we are going to conduct our own poll, the ARMOUR TECH NEWS PRESIDENTIAL STRAW- VOTE! Very soon we shall publish a copy of a ballot, or we will distribute them by other means, as is deemed ad— visablo. The results of the poll will be announced just as soon as a representative percentage of the votes is in. Send in your suggestions as to how we should conduct this straw—vote. We want to make it an absolute political barometer, so that once our winner is announced, the losers will wisely step out of the running and put the remainder of their campaign money in the bank. floor 453% dfi‘i‘l‘l. galls @n limits lily lost More. The subscription campaign of the ARMOUR TECH NEWS, waged on both registration days, was highly successful, compared with last semes- ter, but is certainly not beyond im« provement. Many who were not able to subscribe then, but who promised to do so in a few days, have not yet paid up. The subscription price is $1.00 for the semester, the paper to appear weekly for fifteen or more issues. An oppoprtunity will be given those who still wish to subscribe, to do so today 'and tomorrow at the table in the lobby of the main build- in g.

B. {Continued on page 3, column 5) Armour opened its intro-mural football season last Saturday when the Faculty Bears played the strong Student Bull team. The Faculty, led. by Captain W'ilcom, triumphed after a hard fight by the score of 86 to 5,4. It might have been more except for the determined 9. fense exhibited by Captain Ferguson, ’30. _ The Anti-Faculty kicked off, and Cooper, the speedy Faculty quarterback, brought the ball back to the Fae», ulty 35-yard line. Two more first downs, and Winston circled right end on a fake line plunge and sprawled over the goal line. Splendid interference by Therm" dynamics and Seagrist made this possible. Pa Phillips kicked goal and Gill, and the game went on. The Fae, ulty kicked off, and nine hundred students cheered, for - they thought that it was for good. But alas! the Faculty recovered on a fumble and regained the ball near it; ~ middle of thefield. Krafi‘t was knocked for a loss when he tried an off~tackle smash. Wilcox passed to Winston, but it failed, for they never passed anybody. Schommer . hit the center for thirty yards. first down and three unknowns. Hendricks circled left and for five thousand. words, mostly profane, and the student body let out a. green. Physics II, running with Mechanics K andj Krathwohl, trampled the students in the dust and made .the second touchdown. As the Faculty attempted to ’ pass behind the goal line for the point after touchdown, somebody stepped on Wilcox’ goatee. Time was chilled while extensive repairs were made; then the game went on. In the next quarter, Bentley tried a project, but the: ball was intercepted by Mamas, who charged down the field for a touchdown. In the last quarter,‘with the, Faculty leading 86 to 36, the Anti-Faculty aggregation , began pouring hordes of yellow ponies through the line to partly even the score.
