Ac- companying the written story were a number of pictures taken in some of the labs. Interesting indeed are the fol— lowing paragraphs, in which the reporter drew word pictures of what he had seen. “Iron slaves are what they are. Great, glowering iron creatures that purr, snap angry jaws and spit flame under the whip hand or man’s all-conquering Intelligence. lie created them out of the earth, smelting and hammering their bodies into shapes that pleased him. And now they sit in long shadowy rows, under a roof, and do his bidding. Sometimes their rage flames out of bounds, and they bite oflf a hand or crush a skull more ruthlessly than any wild beast. “These iron creatures have to be ruled by an iron will and an intel— ligence as sharp and quick as their finest parts.” Dean Penn Speaks to High School Students Dean Penn spoke to seniors at the East Aurora High School, West and St. Charles High School on the subject engineering professions Thursday, April 11. He had lunch- eon at St. Charles with the follow» Aurora High School, of the ing Armour graduates: C. I. Carlson, ’23 L. King, ’1': H. Shotwell, 3. Stone, ’20 E.

Debaters gather at First Meeting The newly formed debating club is scheduled to hold its first meet- ing today in Room H, Main Build— ing, at 3:00 P, M. As yet, this meeting time rluronly temporaryand those who do not have this hour open are requested to come to Room H between classes. In this way their programs can be taken and arrangements for a better meeting hour can be made. The purpose of the club, which is being organized by A. Watson, ’32, is to conduct live informal dis- cussions on interesting questions. It has been resolved that dry themes will not be tolerated. Several years ago a similar de— bating society was formed, but was discontinued. The organization met but once, after which, interest died down and nothing has been done until interest was revived several weeks ago. The present effort should materialize for the fellows are determined to have a good club. A. E. E. E. Dimes Thurs. All: Palmer House A Dinner—Smoker of the Chicago Section 01‘ the A. I. E.

COLLEGES On Friday and Saturday of this week, Armour-’s batsmen will take action in two games. The Friday tilt will be staged at 3:30 P. M. on Ogden Field, with Luther College of Decorah, Iowa, for opposition, while Saturday’s contest will be held on the University of Chicago diamond, where the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College will attempt to down he Armour team. In Luther, Armour will advance against a team that defeated them last year, winning the title of Iowa champions for the third successive year. Since Armour has shown that it carries a. winning punch, the games have proved to be highly enjoyable. Kraflt expresses no fear in facing the Hawkeye Staters or the Y. M. C. A. He looks forward to keeping the losing column clear of any markings while these games are played. If the team can enjoy its share of breaks and the batting power is as evident as it has been in the first two games, the Lutherans will be obliged to carry a sad story home to the folks in Iowa, and in the meantime give Y. M. C. A. due warning of Armour’s prowess Krafft will select his firing line artists from the group of four hurl- ers, Simpson Stehno, Cannell and Graham. Simpson and Stehno will undoubtedly receive the first call for mound duty, but should the games turn in favor of Armour, in the early innings of play, Can~ hell or Graham may ascend the box. Yount is scheduled to handle the receiving end of the work. Robin, Reichle, Gent, and Weldon will be obliged to treat local fandom with their infield exhibitions plus smart hickory swinging. A selection from Mago, Taylor, Jennings and Hauser will fill the outer garden. Dr. Scherger Speaks Al: 'Meeting of R. 5. A.

Here, by means of a mixing panel, the incoming sig nal is amplified and modulated with the degree of modulation shown by a rotating mirror oscillo— graph. The main room contains the rec— tifiers for the radio frequency amplifiers and modulators. The rectifiers use six water cooled tubes to convert the 12,000 volt AC. to direct current. There are fourteen tubes on the modulator circuit and two sets of four tubes each con- nected in push~pull arrangement for the radio frequency amplifiers. ,These are also water cooled. The oscilluimr is crystal con~ trolled and three sets of crystals are held in reserve. The crystal controls the oscillation of a “4% watt tube, which in turn controls a SIS—watt mes, and this controls a l kw tube.

Raise {fairs at Theta Xi House The Armour branch of the Wes- tern Society of Engineers held their semi—annual smoker last Wednesday evening at the Theta XI house, having as their guests Dean Penn, and Professors Wells, Heald, and Ensz. The feature of the evening was a skit written and presented by the pledges of Chi Epsilon honorary civil fraternity. These men, Ed- strand, Fischman, Hurley, and Blomme, gave an imaginary remin— iscence in 1933, of the college days of today. The audience showed its appreciation with generous ap- plause. Alex Miller spun a couple of pieces in dialect, Johnnie Edstrand made the piano do tricks, and then the mob joined in on the Armour Fight Song.
