Sears Roebuck Y. M. C. A.
and U. of C. Second Team
to Compete

 

 

Tomorrow afternoon Armour’s
track team will stage its last in«
door track meet of the season when
they compete against the Sears,
Roebuck Y. M. C. A. and the Uni—
versity of Chicago second team in
a triangular meet at the Bartlett
Gym.

This meet may possibly be an
outdoor meet but such an arrangeu
ment is not expected to be made
unless the weather is very agree-
able.

in competing against the .Uni-
versity of Chicago second team, Ar~
mom will have to face all of Chi«
cago’s men who have failed to get
their letters. Many of the per—
formers are well talented in the
sport but because they did not par-
ticipate in the required number of
contests they were omitted from
the list of “C” receivers.

Y. M. C. A. Has Strength

Sears, Roebuck Y. M. C. A. also
has a reputed staff of runners and
is expected to play an important
role in the event. They have scv~
era] short distance runners who
may ofiset any of the Amour or
Chicago dashers.

Armour’s first place hopes lie in
the ability and performance of Don
Paul and John Yount, shot-putters.
With Buck Weaver of Chicago out
of the shot-put event Don Paul has
that event practically cinched.
Yount has been quite successful in
his throwing exhibitions and he
stands a good chance of placing
second.

Dave Smith and Richter, duct or
milers, are looked forward to place
in the mile run. Captain Kara and
Henry Fox have shown ability in
the high hurdles dashes.

Have Many Half-Milers

Armour has a good collection of
880 yard runners, and looks for-
ward to making a favorable show—
ing in the run. Iverson, Podlipec
and Timmermans will be depended
on to cross the chalk line ahead
of some competitors.

After this meet is over, the tracks
men will commence practicing for
the outdoor schedule which will be—
gin on May 3rd. Manager Green
has already posted a call for out-
door cavorters.

Printer Changed With
Anniversary Number

This issue of the News was
printed in the modern shop of
Tucker—Kcnworthy Co., 501 So. La
Salle St, with which the business
department has recently drawn up
a new contract. With the change
in printers the staff is also making
a change in the publication date,
and will hereafter distribute the
News on Tuesday morning instead
of Thursday morning.

The type face used by the Tuck~
er—Kenworthy Co. is the new Ionic
style recently adopted by the Chi—
cage Daily News, and is scientific-
ally designed for maximum clarity
and ease of reading. It has the
same number of letters to a line
and lines to the inch as the type—
face formerly used, though at first
glance it appears larger.

The change to the new printer
was made because of the increased
service offered by the larger shop
and also because of its more con-
venient location with respect to the
school.

L. N. Hedge, student at Kansas
State university, and member of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
used an airplane, of which he was
the owner and pilot, to good ad—
vantage last fall during the rush
season. Each prospective pledge
was given a Whirl through the
clouds, and when they descended it
was an easy matter for the brothers
to adorn them with a pin.

W: S. E. to Hear Talia
on, Refuse Disposal

 

Mr. Loran D. Gayton, City Engi-
neer of Chicago, will address the
student branch of the Western So-
ciety of Engineers today at 10:30
A. M. in Room B Mission. His sub
ject is “Collection and Disposal of
Refuse in Chicago.”

Changing and economic condi-
tions since the war have converted
the municipal reduction plant from
a source of small profit into a large
deficit. Mr. Gayton described the
reduction method of garbage dis~
posal and compared it with incin—
eration which has been adopted as
a means of reducing the deficit. He
will report observations of a num-
ber of types of incinerators that
were studied, give a description of
the new plant recently completed
to dispose of all wastes except ashes
collected from the area north of
Twenty—second Street. The lecture
will be supplemented by lantern
slides.

The address is part of the educa—
tional program sponsored by Rich—
ard W. Wolfe, Commissioner of
Public Works.

Final Tickets Sold For

Friday

 

The Freshman Dance will be, ac-
cording to last minute reports, both
a financial and a social success.
The social committee states that
two hundred couples will cover the
expenses, and that this amount
will easily be sold before the night
of the dance.

According to the freshmen, the
Opera Club, located at 18 W. Wal-
ton Place, about three blocks west
of the Drake Hotel, is one of the

best places in the city, at which to

hold a class dance.

It is neither too large nor too
small, holding approximately two
hundred and fifty couples. The con—
veniences of the Club consist of
an excellent dance floor, several
pleasant lounge rooms, a good
check room, and a large dressing
room.

A “roulette” dance and a pair of
specialty dancers will be added fea~
tures of the evening’s entertain—
ment. Both should prove very in—
teresting, the former being a regu—
lar feature of all dances held at the
Opera Club, while the latter were
obtained by the social committee
especially for the occasion. The

exact nature of this number is not

to be revealed until the night of

April 12th.

Waddy Wadsworth and his or—

chestra will furnish the music.
Many are already familiar with
this orchestra, formerly of the Tar-
race Gardens, and of the Aragon-
Trianon Ballrooms.

The chaperones of the dance are

to be Professor Hendricks and wife,
Professor Tibbals and daughter,
and Assoc. Prof. J. E. Petersen of
the Architectural Department.

Ten Terrible Trickstcrs
Take Tom/9s Toy Teaser

Wednesday noon, J. G. Papan-

tony, E. El. ’30, while trying to de~
termine whether he was eligible to
1membership in the “Stray Greeks”
picture for the Cycle, was rudely
siezeel by persons unknown, and
half of his mustache, the mustache
which has made the junior class
famous, was Show off.

While standing near his locker in
the basement of the main building,
a group of rufllons, said by him to
number at least 50, grabbed and

 

devilish work.

Wild dismay filled Papantony’s
mind when he realized the intent
of his captors, and his senses
seemed to reel. He says he remem—
hers little from then till he was
again on his feet.

After a brief but heroic struggle
on the part of the victim, the
marauders felled him to the floor.
While in this ignoble position,
stretched full length on his back,
and with the attackers seated upon
his prostrate form, one-half of his
tonsorial delight was removed, by
the dry process.

Unable definitely to identify any
of the attackers, he is at loss to
know the reason for the attack, ex—
cept the jealousy of the attackers.

More Than Six. Years of Planning Results in Year of
Successful Publication at Amour

 

The Amnom‘ Tech News, its staff
and subscribers, are celebrating its
first birthday today. Exactly one
year ago this morning, the com—
munity of Armour Tech, with its
population of 900, witnessed the
first appearance of a community
newspaper in its midst.

This present sheet is the thirty-
first to appear since the inception
a year ago. Since that time it has
increased in both size and fre-
quency of appearance, so that,
whereas it started as a five-column
paper appearing every two weeks,
it is now a six—column paper ap—
pearing weekly.

The events leading to the found—
ing of the NEWS are varied. For
a long time entering freshmen,
coming from high schools at which
a weekly newspaper was routine,
immediately noted and commented

Junior Committee
Announces Events
For Junéor Week

 

Definite plans are beginning to
be formed for Junior week, to be
held from May 13 to 18, inclusive.
J. Garth Sitzler and his committee
of Juniors, are not making any of
the plans of the activities of their
class known till it is ascertained
what the events are that will take
place during that week.

From Date Announced

The first official announcement
was made by the social committee
that the Junior Prom would be held
Friday, May 17.

Closely following this, came the

announcement of the music clubs-

would give their spring concert
Wednesday, May 15.

One of the most interesting an-
nouncements of Junior week is the
scheduling of Open House night for
Monday, May 23. It is expected the
picture of an engineorima college
running full blast will be viewed by
a few thousand people.

Two baseball games have been
tentatively planned. one with lake
Forest, probably Tuesday, his}: 14.
and the other with Ypsilanti on
Friday.

The Honor A banquet also will
come ofi‘ in this period, though it
too has not had a date definitely
assigned to it.

It is assumed that the traditions
of C; .113 Day on the Saturday of
Junior week will be continue as in
previous years. The Junior \‘S
Marshall was not able to i:
run! program for that: day as
interviewed, as he did not believe
any had been made.

 

  
  
 

 

 

 

 

 

on the lack of a newspaper here.
Soon, however, they would become
so buried in an avalanche of as—
signments that, if they did not
cease altogether to note the ab-
sence of a newspaper, they readily
attributed its non—eidstence to the
fact that Technology students were
already overworked.

About six years ago, a lad by the
name of J. C. Bock entered A. 1'. ‘33.
The same year Professor Hendricks
was added to the faculty as an in-
structor in English. Professor Hen—
dricks also noted the lack of a.
school newspaper, and in com—
menting upon the point, he in—
spired J. C. Back to attempt the
founding of such a school paper.
Plans were rapidly drawn up, the
authorities were consulted, and foi-
ally the scheme was presented for
approval. At this critical moment
Bock became ill, and had to discon-
tinue his studies in order to regain.
his health. Since he was the mo-
tivating student behind the plan,
negotiations were dropped.

In the spring of 1928, in m elec-
tive class in Modem Drama, Pm-
lessor Hendricks again emressed
the fact that a school newspaper at
Armour Tech was highly desired
and should be started. Agitation
among the juniors and seniors he—
gan at once, Sphinx took up the
plan, and in a short while a peti-
tion was presented by Sphinx
(honorary literary fraternity) to
the powers that be.

Considerable opposition was first
advanced against the founding {if
the weekly. “It can not prove 22.
financial possibility.” “There is not
enough news to warrant- 3. news—
paper." “The students are too busy
with their studies.“ All these argu—
ments, and many more, were ad—
duced, with the natural result that
the petition ems unfavorshly
passed upon.

Again Professor Hendricks came
to the rescue. He was of the opin—
ion, and so stated to the {acuity
conclave, that the least the {acuity
could do was to give the students
a chance to put their plan to a
trial. If it failed, well, then it
