The victory was somewhat oi’ an upset because the Armour squad was hardly conceded a look~in with the much touted Loyola runners. The incet was held on a course laid ,out around the Loyola campus, and be- cause of the rain that day, it was very muddy. The next.meet of the season will beheld the 27th of October when the Squad will journey out to Wheaten to run with Wheaton College.

Separate ballots in End News straw Vote A new presidential straw vote will be taken next week. The ballot this time. will be printed on a separate piece of paper, which will be dis— tributed with each copy of the NEWS. The straw vote as taken a few weeks ago was not considered successful, due to the small number of ballots cast. The reason for this was attributed to the fact that the readers of the NEWS did not want to cut up their paper in order to obtain the ballot on which to vote. All who receive ballots are urged to vote, since it will be interesting to know the standing of the presiden— tial candidates in an engineering col~ lege. The ballot box will he in the foyer of the main building during distribution, and everyone who re— ceives the NEWS should vote imme« diately upon receiving his copy.

The topic is to be “General Insurance.” While the nature of the subject is such that it will be of interest primarily to the “Fire Pro— tects,” it is hoped by the committee in charge that students of other de«L partments of engineering who have the hour free will avail themselves of the opportunity to attend.

E. held last Monday, October 15, in the Sci- ence Hall. Mr. Fred Schmidt, the speaker of the day, was introduced by R. J. Gucnther, chairman of the Program Committee. Mr. Schmidt is a graduate of the class of 1911 in the Civil Engineering course. After leav- ing Armour, he put in a number of years in railroad work, and at pres» out he is working in the Personnel Department of the Western Electric Co. Mr. Schmidt’s topic was, “The Technical Man in Industry." In op- ening he said, “In the last one half century, engineering has taken a prominent part in the progress of the world and consequently there is a great demand for properly trained men to carry on this important work. There are three points which a tech nically trained college man must meet upon entering the industrial world. The first is, What does lu— dustry look for?; the second, How is the prospective employee engaged?; and third, What qualities, if any, does the technical graduate lack?” Continuing, Mr. Schmidt said, “There are two general classes of work which engage the graduate, re- search and supervisory. Research brought about the high development of the automobile. Supervisors are administrators and must necessarily be college trained as selfwmade men are becoming rarer The ability to think clearly and arrive at a correct and true conclusion, the ability to deal with men, and the ability to use the English language ellectively are three of the most important qualifi- cations for the supervisor.” The employer will gauge a man by the quality of his character, his adaptability, his personal capacity. his scholarship, and his physical fit- ness. Mr. Schmidt gave four prin- ciples which most graduates lack. They lack the ability to make a. re— port, thcy cannot express themselves properly, they are afraid to start from the bottom, and in some cases they think they know it all and will not listen to men of experience. In closing he said, “Graduation is the commencement of a life of educa» tion." SCHOOL CALENDAR Thursday, Oct. l8: 2:10 P. M.--Conditions Exams in Physics. (Phys. Lecture Room.) 5:00 P.
