The entire board, vhich includes Dr. Raymond, Deans ‘ Palmer and Penn, Leigh, Huntley, and Schommer, Mr. Allison, and Coach Krafl’t, together with the ‘ student officers of the A. T. A. A.‘, Edstrand, Simpson, and Rowley, were present Several important items of business came up for consideration. Hunlly Ric-elected President First of all, the election of officers of the Board of Athletic Control was held. The officers of last year, name- ly, Prof. Huntly and Coach Krafl’t, president and secretary, respectively .Wcre 1e~elected. Some reference was made to the buying of new boxing equipment and the services of a new boxing coach. At present the boxing team is with- out the services of a coach. Both questions were deferred to a later date. Classes Spending Too Much Money Then came the question of con- trolling the expenditure of class funds. A lengthy discuSsion ensued. It was pointed out that unwise spend- ing of class funds presents quite a problem to the school comptroller, 'Mr. Allison. He mentioned, that the «treasury of the present Senior class was in such a condition that the Sen— iors would probably have to resort to volunteer subscriptions by its mem— bers in order to carry on the business of their class. In this ceiinection,~ii; was suggested that the business con- cerning class functions, the prices of bids to class aliairs, in particular, be first approved by the Deans, so as to make the charges within the reach of most of the members. it was pointed out that many of the charges are pro- hibitive, and thus it is only possible for a certain element in each class to attend. Discussion followed on the subject of class athletic awards. It was finally decided to limit the ex~ penditure of class funds to the extent of $6.50 for each award. In basket— ball, the limit of seven awards was set, while in baseball the figure was set at ten. New Sweat Suits For Basketball in an effort to secure complete statistics on the number 01“ students who are earning part tuition or part living expenses, a questionnaire is be- ing: distributed this morning by the Deans’ office to all the students in the Institute, and which is to be carefully answered by every student. To Be Confidential The information to be secured in that manner is to be kept strictly confidential by the office. However, if students are unwilling to put their names on the sheet, the registration number may be used in its place. Some system of identification is to be required, however, to prevent dup- lication of the slips. Six Questions Alike-d Six main questions are asked on the quiz, as follows: A. Approximately what percent of your living expenses (board, room, clothes, etc.) do you earn during the summer vacation? During the Colv loge session? 13. Approximately what percent of your college expenses (tuition, fees, books, supplies, etc.) do you earn during the summer vacation? During the college session? C. What is the nature of your work during the summer? I). What is the nature of your work during the college session? E. Where were you born? F. Are you a citizen of the Unit- ed States? in addition to these questions, a. line is allowed for name or registra- tion number, and any additional re- marks that may be necessary. Questionnaires will be distributed to the students in the classrooms, and will be taken 'up immediately. An- swers are expected to be complete and accurate. World’s largest Tole-n scope fonslruclcul ldy Armour loch Alumnus Armour men are going far and wide in all fields. Now we find one who has been instrumental in build- ing; the largest telescope in the world. This man is Francis Gladheim Pease. He received his B. S. in C. E. in 1901, an M. S. in 1924 and in 1927 was honored with a D. Sc. Degree. He is working at the Califonia Institute of Technology on this telescope. An announcement has recently been made by California Tech that the telescope is to bear a ZOO—inch reflector. This is twice the size and four times the power of the largest telescope in use at the present time. ..,.‘_‘.The proposed telescope,” the an- nouncement states, “should make possible the exploitation of many island universes beyond the Milky Way, the nearest two or which are now but slightly known.

Placards have even been posted in the fraternity houses at U. of Illinois, with the expectation that many students of that school will attend, since on the following day the Chicago—Illinois game will attract many to this city. The committee has also advertised in the school publications of the three schools.

This king of winter sports, which obviously looms as Ar— mour‘s favorite, is expected to arouse considerable interest this year. From all indications, this winter‘s hardwood frolic will feature some hotly contested affairs, for no class or fraternity can boast of a picked quintet on which they could bank their hopes to conquer the laurels. There are some classes and fraterni~ ties which stand out on the bright side of the ledger with some very obliging‘ prospects and naturally are worthy of a little consideration. Phi Pi Last Year’a Champs In the past ten years the Phi Pi Phi fraternity has been beating the socks off the other fraternity teams and are seriously threatening the other organizations this season. But there is nothing more to be said about them until they make good their threats. Seniors Hold Edge in inter-Clans As for the inter~clnss competition, the seniors as customary, are consid— ered the favorites, but this season gives them an added impetus inas— much as they won the inter- class tournament last year while they were minus a yeai in their scholastic standing. John W. Gamble, ’29, will direct the program for the fraternity organ- izations while James Dawson, ’29, will guide the interclass teams. These men promise to do their utmost to speed up the work in order that the organizations may enjoy a longer season. With a total of ten fraternities on the campus, and with close to ten men from each house out for their respective tennis, it is estimated that nearly one hundred men will see service in the inter-Greek campaign.

FRGM LENCULN At the national convention of the “Engineering College Magazines As- sociated,” held in Lincoln, Nebraska, October 25—27, The Armour Engineer was given an award of second place for cover design for the copy 0f March, 1928. The awards were made on the magazines of the previous year by the executive committee. Professor L.

Pugs @111 dosing ”loam Pugilists of the 112 pound class are still in great demand by the man- agement of the boxing team, accord— ing to a statement given out by W. E. Briggs, ’29, head of this year’s or- ganization. Applicants are not re- quii‘ ed to have had any previous fight» ing‘ experience, since the organiza— tion consists wholly of amateurs. Two of the leaders of the team are at present out of commission as far as boxing goes, the one perma- nently and the other for a good long while. V. V. Poupitcb, '29, last year’s captain, and champion boxer of the school, has been forced to re- sign from the team because of an infected ear drum, which persists in giving him trouble and makes it un» able for him to engage in any scraps. M. C. Larkin, the other invalid, is now on his way home to submit to an operation for appendicitis, which will keep him on the indisposed list for a good length of time. With these two veterans out of the ranks, prospects for winning fame are especially bright for young upstarts of the low~ er classes, since there will now be plenty of room in the Armour Tech pugilistic spot-light. Members and other adherents to the team are given credit in gym— nasium, cxcuslng‘ them from classes in that subject. c111“ Epsilon identities All Madison Saturday The biennial coucln've of Chi Ep~ silon, national honorary civil engi- neering fraternity, was held at Madi- son, Wis., last Saturday. Delegates from both coasts and the middle west found their way into the capital and assembled in the new Mes moriul Union Building located on the shore of Lake Mondoto. In one of the private rooms overlooking the choppy waters, they took seriously their task of adopting proper regula— tion and administration for the frat» tei‘nity for the ensuing year. The only diversion was that of at- tending; the intersection-cl football contest between the Crimson Tide of Alabama and Cardinals of Wisconsin. The conclave was continued imme« diutely after the game until the time of the banquet in the evening which. too. was held in the some building. It is the opinion of those in Madison that the “Union“ is the finest build- ing of its kind in the country. it. was built entirely by popular sub- scription and affords ample meeting space for the students and all their functions.

With only a month intervening, the issues would be of a much more timely nature. At present the first. number of the “Engineer” during the school year appears in November, and the second number does not ap- pear till January. Gthez‘a Run Monthly He fm‘ther states that the fact that the: greater number of publica- tions belonging to the “Engineering College Magazines Associated " which the “Engineer” is a. member, are operating on a. monthly basis is another reason which seems to anal-:13 the plan feasible. The staff has been in the process of enlargement for some time, and is now of sufficient size to handle the larger publication. Ci To Have Advisory Board In the event that the plan of hav- ing the magazine appear monthly is definitely adopted, the Managing Board further plans to select an ad- visory board to consist of past edisors and business managers who can lend their experience and mature judg— ment in the selection of matter for publication. The rapid strides made by the “En. gineer” within the last three years are evidenced by the fact that it has won four awards during that time in. the contests conducted by the “Engi- neering; College Magazines Associat- ed.” The latest was an award of sec ond place for cover design won by the March, 1928. issue. The publica- tion also enjoys the unique distinc— tion of having a 108 percent student and faculty subscription.
