Suheci'ihe tor the Tech News Aacernlaiy Tuesday Vol. IV. No. I. LlMlT REACHED The popularity of Armour was again clearly evidenced by the 700 ap- plications for entrance to the Fresh- man Class received by the office of the Deans. Inasmuch as but 250 Freshmen can be comfortably accommodated un- der existing conditions. the large ma- jority of the students who applied were refused admission. Selection is made upon the previous record of the applicant, his personality as revealed in his private interview, and his qualifications as denoted by his previous activities in the lower schools. Of the 250 accepted, 45 were from other cities than Chicago; while Armour has done no outside advertis- ing, its reputation has drawn men from all portions of the country. Washington on the west coast. Penn- sylvania on the east, and Texas on the south have contributed men eager to attend. The ofiice has not con- 'sidered any foreign students as it re- quires U. S. citizenship for matricular lion. The courses are distributed just about as in previous years. It is ex- pected that a majority of last year's freshmen, sophomores and juniors will return. rotary rho civics carnal. slouch Swimming and Hiking Fill Spare Time at (lamp Some time before graduation the Civil students must travel to Trout Lake to test their knowledge of sur- veying by practical work in the field. Thirtytwo Civils spent a pleasant six Weeks at the annual Summer Sur- veying Camp at Trout Lake, Wiscon- sin, from June 8 to July 19. Saturday morning, June 8, the ma- jority arrived at Minocqua on the "Fisherman’s Special" and traveled from there to Trout Lake by bus. The baggage followed by train. The gang was given coifee and hot biscuits and then spread out about the camp. After a sufficient number had col- lected in one spot, lots were cast for tents. The crowd then surged up the hill from the mess hall to their new quarters on top of the hill and began fixing up their "homes." Monday morning, June 10, work be— gan and the Civils were sent out in the field to tape distances. Every morning, thereafter, except Sundays and times when the rain hindered op- erations, the boys awoke some time between the first bell at 5:50 and the breakfast bell at 6:15. Professor Wells, Mr. l-Ieald and Mr. Jaros supervised the work at Camp Armour and arranged the groups for the dliferent work. Besides working in the field there was plenty of other things to be done. Very little home work left the stu- dents much free time evenings, Satur- day afternoons and Sundays. After supper the Civils played vol- ley ball, indoor, Went swimming, fished, hiked to Trout Lake two and onehalt’ miles from Camp Armour for supplies, or spent their time writing letters or reading in the mess hall or in the tents. Saturday afternoon was wash day and clothes and bodies were cleansed down at the beach. Then Saturday evening many an engineer disappeared to be replaced by a well-dressed, debonair young man. A truck. arrived piloted by the dance hall manager and into it packed the social-minded members or camp. On Sunday mornings, however, many empty chairs lined both tables. Sunday was usually spent in bikes to town and lakes in the neighboring dis— trict. Although the Clvils did much (Continued on. page 8) a. sauces .

RAYMOND. water Sends Sump Book to Dr. Enforcer Frank Oster, chief engineer of the Armour Institute. has completed an- other oi his scrap books, this one covering the historic flight of the Grail-Zeppelin around the world. He will shortly present if. to Dr. Hugo Eckner. The newspaper clippings contain in detail the complete story oi! the flight, and in addition many pictures of the ship in various places about the world, the pa anger tb c r. daily bulletins of the commander, and those oi.’ the famous woman passenger Lady Drummond Hay are preserved without a single ommission. The many pages of manilla drawing paper on which the clippings are mounted, are colorfully decorated in a modernistic manner original with Mr. Oster. The whole is permanently bound and forms a unique work of art, telling the story of the historic undertaking. Mr. Oster has been occupied with this hobby for many years, often work- ing far into the night on some oi? his many books. This latest book was first intended to be sent to Japan but Mr. Oster now intends to present it to Dr. Eckner in Germany. Huntley Surveys @hicago Pavements Professor P. C. Huntley. of the Ex- perimental Engineering Department. is engaged in making a survey or concrete paving jobs for the Paving Contractors Association of Chicago. Since last March when he started this work, Professor Huntley has taken several hundred drillings from about forty different paving jobs covering the entire city. In addition, he has made up several hundred sample cylin. dots in the laboratory for purpose of comparison. By comparison with these standards he finds whether or not the mixture used on the job was what it was contracted to he. Jennings Who Stole cmcl National Wiles On Monday, July 2, George Jennings won the Illinois state singles chaur pionship, defeating George O’Connell, Allerton Club star at the River Forest Tennis Club. Jennings took the meas ure of O’Uonuoll, (M, 6-1, 3-8, 64, after the dopesters had predicted the winner would be crowned only after a live set battle. In defeating O’Connell, who has played tennis in virtually every country of the world, “George" used his powerful loop shot at the service line with plenty of spin on the hall. Jennings also defended his title of National Parks champion against all comers. DR. H. M. RAYMOND lidiliSlithl‘lml Wit Niall}? Sifildill.
