”Schematics il'o drawer loosiholl Questions ills-rough l'ecll ileum Professor John J. Schommer, twelvedetter man of the University . of Chicago, and one of the foremost football authorities in the country, will answer, through the columns of the ARMOUR TECH NEWS, any questions on football rules which may be puzzling our readers. The col- umn will be continued throughout the football season and as long there- after as questions continue to come in. ' In a few days a box. will be in- stalled in a prominent place in the foyer of the Main building, into which these questions and any other contributions to the NEWS may be dropped. Professor Schommer also an— nounces his officiating schedule in the Big Ten games. Already he has um- » pired at two games, the Wisconsin- Notre Dame contest held Oct. 6, and i the Ohio—Northwestern game last Saturday. Future games at which he will umpire are: Oct. 20——Wisconsin at Purdue. Oct. Z7—Minnesota at Iowa. Nov. 3——Alabama at Wisconsin. Nov. 10~—-Michigan at Navy. Nov. 17—Northwestern at_ Indiana. Nov. 24—Dartmouth at North- western. Nov. 29—Male High vs. Dupont Manual Training, at Lousville, Ky. l‘olal Enrollment in Night School is llllll ‘ i The total enrollment in the night school is about 1,100 up to the pres- ent time The classes with lar est enrollment are: practical mechan- ics. first-year electricity, and alchi- tectural drawing, each with 100 stu- dents. Greatest interest is being shown in the aviation class. The enroll- men now is 94, and other students are expected to sign up. Due to , this increased demand, it is expected that there will be classes in aviation in the second semester. The ma- chine shop class is running two sec~ time—something it has not done for five years. The chemistry classes are the only ones filled to‘capacity. JlMCS. To Meet" Friday; flee/Allies“ Expert To Walla The next meeting of the Chicago Section of the American Chemical Society will be held Friday night, October 19, at the City Club of Chi— cago. The speaker of the evening will be Dr. John Arthur Wilson, chief chemist for A. F. Galliam KL Sons 00., who will talk on “The Develop- ment of Leather Chemistry and Its Relation to Other Fields of Chem~ istry and to Everyday Life.” Dr. Wilson is a native son of Chicago and is past chairman of the Leather Division, A. C. S. He received his training at New York University and at Leeds, England, and is the author of “The Chemistry of Leather Manu— facture.” He is today, perhaps, the foremost authority on the applica~ tion of physical-chemical principles to the manufacture of leather. His talk promises to be very instructive, both to the chemist and to the lay— man. Dr. B. B. Freud, associate profes~ sor of Organic Chemistry at Armour, is chairman of the section. Several Armour students and graduates be- long and attend the meetings. Visit- ors are always welcome at these gatherings. é‘jmmfiwi(mown-nanomxmnmumomumlwas» FOR QUALITY AND LOW PRICES, EAT AT BAUER’S RESTAURANT INDIANA and $13!; STREET rmcmofi? n fimWaW‘ The lnuuiring Reporter Question: What «do you think of the new Senior jackets? N. S. Ewing, ’29: The appearance of a large number of the Senior class in snappy black and gold jackets is a further indication of progressiveness. Their distinctiveness will let under- classmen become familiar with the old men of the Institute. Also, the utility item is not a minus quantity. F. R. Delthony, '29: I don’t like them very much. A lot of the fol— lows claim that they are a poor fit and that they get dirty too easily. Leslie: ll... Ferguson, ’30: They seem to me to fill a need that possibly has never been met before, that is, dis- tinguishing the upper classmen in such a way that their general bearing and demeanor will be a good example to the lower classmen. I think it represents a step forward in this col— lege and gives it more of an atmos— phere similar to the other colleges of the country. Wm. Distler, ’31: As for Seniors, their coats make them look even more advanced in rank and experi- ence. . Leslie Kaine, '29: I rather agree with some of the fellows that the hands on the cuffs are too loud. I took mine oil'. ’1‘. .l.

I think it gives the Seniors a snappy appearance. Chas. l7.

The air usually enters the rooms of such buildings; through various—shaped ornamental. grills, and is measured by means of trav— erses with anemometers. The many types of grills in use. however, together with the many positions in which they may be mounted with respect to the supply ducts. leave considerable doubt as to the exact method to be followed in making these measurements. This has resulted in many controversies between the various ventilating con" tractors and the ventilation branch of the Department of Health. The Ventilating Contractors Em_ ployers’ Association finally decided to submit the problem to the Ar— mour Institute laboratory instruct- ors to attempt to establish a definite method of making such tests which will be simple enough to be practical and yet accurate enough to be ac- ceptable to all parties concerned. Several of the representatives of the city who are interested in this work are Armour men, the chief ventilation engineer in charge being John Aeberly, ’13, while several of his assistants are more recent gradu— ates. An Aviation Club has been organ— ized at Carnegie Institute of Tech— nology, which gives aeronautic bugs an opportunity to listen to speakers and discuss technical and non—tech nical features of aviation.

Chance for Student To Earn Part Tulllfln .Any student of Armour who dew sires to earn a part of his tuition may do so by applying to Professor Ham- mett to assist him with the lantern in his class in History of Architec- , , ture. This class meets on Monday and Friday, from four to five P. M. at the Art Institute. This position is open to any student from any (lea partment. Applications should be given to Miss Dodge in the Architec— , tural Office at the Art Institute. _ 5 llicOrdcrOl Builderdl . musm in} I Yul-ml llamm Antllivs" allc laws do! l'loarlwlsl fin the. um \\ own at “nu-v.11 ‘ . a. no... mnbm . s" ' n1 :1 clear» is“ k 7, 544 West Valli Ell. fifilfild‘lllllilll lRl‘llll llllllhlllfi, lino. srnocrnnar. areal. onnnmnzvrnl. mow Triangle lfillll Telephone: REPUBLlC 7900 ll. it‘ll Efilg hllll‘lllllllll. no.

With the presentation of this statement, the lllinois Central System enters upon its fourth year of educational advertising in college and university publications. The purpose of this ad— vertising has been to lay a groundeork of im- proved understanding upon which college- and university-trained men and women may base in- tclligently their attitude toward questions affect- ing the railroads. Preceding advertisements in this series have dealt with topics more or less progressively re- lated, as follows: 1925—26, “History and Rela- tionships”, 1926-27, “Departments of a Rail— road”; 1927-28, “The Railway Plant.” The topic for 1928-29 will be “Problems of Permanent In— terest.” The problems to be discussed are “Reg— ulation,” “Valuation,” “Taxation,” “Loss and Damage,” “Safety,” “Development Work” and “Public Relations.” Why, one may ask, should college and univer- sity students be asked to take an interest in rail- way problems? Simply because of this: Railway service is so interwoven with practically every phase of life today that it is hard to conceive of a railway problem in which the interest of the citi- zen is not somehow concerned. In many railway problems the interest of the citizen is paramount. Moreover, under the present organization of eco— nomics and gov... “went, as has been pointed out before, the public Controls railway service not only by purchasing it but also by regulating the conditions under which it shall be rendered and by providing its capital supply. A general real- ization of this threefold relationship between the public and, the railroads should inspire all citi— zens to interest themselves in railway problems. The college or university graduate, as a bone- ficiary of educational opportunities and as a leader in citizenship, has the onportunity to di- rect. interpret, and enforce public opinion. No— where is constructive, informed public leadership more clearly essential than in the railway field. As a test of the interest shou n in this adv autis- ing, an essay contest will be announced slimtly after the first of the year. Full details will be furnished those eligible at that time. Constructive criticism and suggestions are in— vited. L A. DOWNS, President, illinois Central System. CHlCAGO. October 15, 1928 Fags Three
