No definite ar— rangements have been consum- mated yet, but when they are, we shall be glad' to share the good news with those interested. Pre— liminary activities have already started, and when the proper time comes, announcement will be made to the students. faculty, and alumni." This statement was given to a News reporter when the President was asked if he could tell more of the plans to follow the dropping of the Northwestern University merger. Much discussion upon the campus shows the intense interest of the students regarding the fu- ture of the Institute. Several ru— mors have gained circulation since the Trustees’ meeting on Monday, April 15. It was at this time that the affiliation plans were aban- doned, with the consent and ap— ~ proval otheth Armour. andNorthm western.

E: Winner at Palmerl‘louse The Junior and Senior students of electrical engineering were pres- ent almost to a man at the dinner— smoker of the Chicago section of the A. I. E. E. held in the grand ballroom of the Palmer House last Thursday evening. A very inter« esting evening had been promised for all who should attend and al- though those attending expected a. very novel program, all expecta- tions were surpassed by the enter- tainment provided, to say nothing of the excellent dinner that was served. Upon entering the dining room, the twanging strains of Hawaiian music were heard. While the first courses were being served, these dark skinned musicians made their way among the tables, playing and singing their native melodies. They were followed by a number of other entertainers, including a “blues” singer who accompanied herself on an accordian, a magician, and an acrobatic dancer who gave several acts. When the cigars had been passed, and everyone relaxed from the ar- duous exercise of packing chicken etc, into themselves, Chairman Junke of the Chicago Section, called the meeting to order, and asked all student members to rise so that they may be recognized. Then fol- lowed an announcement that a technical paper by a former chair~ man of the A. I. E. E. would be read by a gentleman at the speak- ers' table, which was not at all pleasantly received by the gather" ing, who came expecting to be en— tertained and not to be further educated. This reception was con— sidered embarrassing to the pro— gram. committee who had arranged the features, and they most humbly apologized through the chairman as a spokesman. At this point Prof. Bruin of the University of Michigan was intro~ duced and then he presented a very humorous and philosophical speech called “Chasing Your Hat,” which was very well received by his audi— ence. The program was concluded by more dance and vocal Determines? to Mrs Forth er Wctories Tech Nine Puts Unbroken. Encore?

When interviewed at the hospital Thursday night by a Nflll'h‘ report- er, Professor Finnegan stated that his stay in the hospital was mainly for observation, and that really he felt very healthy. He was spending his time, he said, in catching up with his sleep and reading. He ex— pressed his appreciation for the flowers sent him by different stow dent organizations.
