H. Freeman, head of the De— partment of Electrical Engineering held his first lecture on Engineer- ing Economics in the rooms of the Western Society of Engineers, Room 1200, Engineering Building. A total of 104 practicing engi- neers emailed for the course, which was about 80 more than the Deans’ Oflice had expected. For this rea— son, they hope to divide the class in half and hold the lectures for them on two separate evenings. The course is to be given in 10 lectures and is very important be- cause it is a subject with which every engineer should be thorough— ly conversant, no matter what work he is doing. Senior F. P. E’s Visit Sprinkler Company The Senior Fire Protects went on inspection trips last Tuesday and Thursday, January 21 and 23, to the office of the Automatic Sprink- ler Co. located in the Transports.» tion Building at Harrison and Dearborn.

These were demonstrated for the benefit of the students, showing the advantages of the de— vices and their quickness to work by actual fires and explosions. The elective course in Modern Drama (a play a week) will be given in the second semester at an hour to be arranged. Students wishing to apply for admission to the course may leave a copy of their program card, when com— pleted, in Professor Hendricks’ mail box in the school store. ctr Ens loitiates Four Wednesday Chi Epsilon, honorary civil engi— neering fraternity, will hold its for- mal initiation tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 29th, at the Phi Kappa Sigma House.

The trip started ofl’ with a bang, A‘ two men missed the train. In the rush to make the same train, Miran nearly lost his hat. As the con— fines of the La Salle St. Depot were left behind the card games and hat crushing began. Professor Schem- mer kept the crowd in good spirits with his witty stories and deep jokes.

"l”, llllle ”learn Has New Quarters The radio rifle match between the New York Stock Exchange and Armour was fired on each of the team's respective ranges and the scores then exchanged by radio. This was possible through the cour- tesy of Professor G. Wilcox and Bob Van Osdol, chief operator of the Armour radio station, WGNV. The New York Stock Exchange won the match by a margin of sixty-eight points. The scores stood 1381- 1313 in favor of the rivals. The Armour men who fired in the match, according to the highest scoring, were Patla (Capt. ), Wilson, Statkus, Stier and Mc- Inerney. Through the efforts of Professor Marigold, faculty advisor for the Rifle Club, Stier, Patio. and Stat— kus, the club has succeeded in ob— taining a home range in the base— ment of Chapin Hall, second entrance south. Hess has pro- vided for sheet-steel backstops and the range is expected to be ready by the first week of next semester. This should be an incentive for more men to come out for the club and team as it will not be necessary to travel a few blocks to the range as the case was formerly. {SALENDAR Wednesday, January 29 Basketball, DeKalb at Armour, 4:30 P.
