The annual Freshman Handshake
was held in the Armour Mission last
night. The date as first announced
was October 10, which came in the
middle of rushing week. For this
reason the date was advanced one
week to give the various fraternities
a chance to look over the freshmen
before the rushing starts.

Prior to this year the Handshake
has been managed by the Campus
Club alone. This time it was under
the supervision of a committee com-
posed of one member from cah social
fraternity and one from the Campus
Club. F. W. McCloska, the represen-
tative of the Campus Club, was chair—
man of the committee. The event
is financed by the Institute.

The program was opened by two
selections from the band. An ad—
dress of welcome was delivered by
Dr. Raymond, which was followed
by a few readings of his verse by
Professor Amsbary. The bandagain
entertained. The Armour Tech Fight
song was sund by the students, under
the direction of Professor Leigh.
in the
basement of the Mission, and con-
sisted of doughnuts and twentyweight
gallons of cider. An interclass bas~
ketball game followed, which ended
the program.

George A. Rezac, ’29, had charge
of the music for the entire evening.

“With the appointment of Heath as

An article by Professor Daniel

lished May, 1928, in “The Armour

July 26 issue of the “Oil and Gas

This again graphically illustrates the
high standing enjoyed by “The

publications throughout the country.

Students Show interest
in Aviation {racemes

The Ground School Course in Avia-
tion that is being taught at Night
,School is showing a steady increase
in interest. This is evidenced by the
size of the enrollment, there being
93 students signed up, while many
have been turned away due to the
excessive size of the class. The diffi-
cult problem to date is to decrease
the size of the group. Because of
the large demand for this subject, it
is probable that the course will be
given in the second semester, thus
accommodating a greater number of
students.

Further Business
Officially (though not very elli—

year career, amid much confusion,
more excitement, and gobs of cam-
paign literature, the Class of ’32 last
Monday morning elected J. A. La—
den to be their president for the en-
suing year.
Five Nominees Proposed
A slate of five nominees was first
formed while F. H. Jucrgensen, ’29,
Senior Class President, acted as
chairman pro-tom. A vote cast to
select the two highest of these can"

In an adjoining room shortly after
the hour began, Professor A. E.
Phillips dismissed his class because
of the shouts and yells which issued
from the excited electioneers.

Large black-letter printed placards
and green printed handbills featured
in the campaign, which drew 205

accomplished. The meeting rapidly
degenerated to the point where a
wholesale stuffing of the ballot oc—
curred, so' that it was necessary to
postpone further proceedings.

However, a slate of four nominees
for vice-president was framed, with
Curran, Akerman, I. C. Johnson, and
O’Connor as the candidates.

The day and hour for the second
installment of the free-for-all was
not announced at that time.

Dean Palmer called the gathering
to order, and announced the time
and the purpose of the Freshman
Handshake, urging 100 percent at—
tendance. He then allowed the class
to continue the meeting on their own
responsibility, assuming them well
capable of doing so.

Dave Smith, ’30, was also given an
opportunity to speak. He made a
plea for freshman candidates for the

' Cross«Country Team.

Noisy Election Honors

 

Not to be outdone by the upper
classmen, the Sophomores, at their
class meeting held last Friday, Sept.
28, established a new record for dis-
order and lack of accomplishment.
Most of the time was spent in argu-
ing over rules of Parliamentary pro-
cedure while the real business of the
day, the election of ofi‘icers, made
little headway.

The'meeting was called to order
by the retiring president, E. T. Ho-
lin, who announced that nominations
for president were in order. (3. R0»
bin, and T. Schuelcr were named and
then the motion to close the. nomi—
nations was made and seconded.
President Holin evidently enter-mined
other opinions, however, and refused
to recognize the motion, declaring
that in his opinion other nominations
should be made. The question of or»
do: was at once raised but the ob~
jectm‘s were nbt recognized by the
choir. Several others clamored for

dealers Run Election
in Two installments

 

After two turbulent class meet-
ings the Juniors finally succeeded in
electing officers for the year of 1928-
29. The first was held Thursday,
September 27, in Science Hall, and
resulted in the election of Martin
van der Veldc as president and Nor-
mand D. Buehling as vice-president.
The meeting was noisy and disor~
derly throughout, with the contend-
ing “political factions” making their
presence and preferences known in
no uncertain fashion. Three candi-
dates were nominated for president.
They were: J. E. Rausch, Martin
van der Velde and Don Paul. The
first vote stood: Ransel, 56; Paul,
46; van der Velde, 48.

Since the class constitution pro-
vides that unless one candidate re-
ceives a majority of votes at second
vote shall be taken for the two high-
est on the list, a second ballot was
run. The result of this ballot was:
van der Velde, 83; Ransel, 65.

Only two candidates were named
for Vice—presiderJV—Walter Scott and
Normand D. Buehling. The result
of this vote was: Buehling, 81;
Scott, 66.

The second meeting, held Tuesday,
October 2, in the Assembly Hall, was
considerably more subdued than the
former, with the result that the re-
maining elections progressed smooth-
ly and rapidly. The position of sec-
rctary went to William Hal-mar; who
received 89 votes to 36 for L. J.

BALLOT PUBLISHED BELGW

 

 

 

Because of the high interest in
the November election of President
of the United States, the ARMOUR
TECH NEWS is conducting an ex-
tensive straw vote to determine the
voting preference on the two candi-
dates among its subscribers.

All students, regardless of age, are
asked to vote. The complete student
opinion is of much more interest
than just the votes of those students
who are of voting age.

Herbert Hoover, the Republican
candidate, was born in West Branch,
Iowa. He received his degree in en-
gineering at Leland Stanford Uni—
versity in 1895 and has since been
honored by twenty-seven other uni.
versities. He held the position of
food conservator during; President
Wilson’s term.

Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
candidate, was born in New York
City. He started his varied and suc-
cessful career as newsboy and be-
came one of New York’s leading men.
He has been elected goverom‘ of New
York state four times, and has a per-
sonality that is rare.

The ballot will be found at the
bottom of this page. Every ballot
should be returned with an X after
the voter's choice for President.
Tear out the ballot and deposit it in

the foyer of the main building.
