Around meantime, the call to dinner forced the boys to abun- don their dear professor in favor of a seat in the “greasy spoon" restaurant. Many new and novel ideas were discovered on the trip. Especially important among these was the fol- lowing: Never wear a hat and a low collar on the day you make an outdoor trip with the thermometer minus five degrees. Be sure to miss the train. Then you won’t have to make the trip. Have a large supply of jokes to keep the professor laughing at all times. Let the professor beat you at bridge, for remember he is an intellect and you are a mere student. Carry an anti-frost outfit with you, and you won’t have to carry your ears home in your pocket.

E.-—I see no necessity for final exams as they do not show a student’s real ability. The real test is his showing during the semester. Earold Pearson, ’32, E. lit-Final exams are important to each stu- dent because the student is forced to review his semester’s work. In this way he will know more about his studies that will help him in future work. M. A. Hotchkin, ’30, F. P. E.-—-I do not favor them because a. stu— dent should know-where to be able to find his material and should not remember definitely what it is. David Cornwall, ’32, M. lit—I have no objections to offer as long as there are a sufficient number of courses to be exempted from the finals. 5. A. Beatty, ‘30, F. P. Em! am not in favor of their entire aboli- tion, but they should only give problems on the high points of the course, and all men with grades of I ninety up to the time of the final should be excused. Carl Willie, ’31, E. lip-«In view of the fact that we have examinations all through the course, I do not see why we should have a final ex- cept for a review, and in certain courses it seems ridiculous to have them because we apply the prin— ciples so often during the semester. P. It”. Pox-tinny, ’32, M. ills—~32 am in favor of them because of the lu- evitablc cramming before the exam.

Rm.-—Mission Art Institute Eeltfl‘s and Esta Pet’s Victorious The Delta Tau Delta and Beta Psi fratemitles emerged victorious in their struggles in the second elimination series held last Wed- nesday evening The Delts scored their victory against the Sigma Alpha Mu quintet with a 17—7 count. The Beta Psi team garnered 21 points to defeat the Triangles 21-5 in their contest. The evening’s proceedings were uncapped with the Beta Psi-Tri— angle game. As the score evidences, the game was one sided. The Tri— angles oi‘fered little opposition. At the end of the first half the Beta Psi’s jumped to a 10—1 lead. In the following half they swelled their lead to a margin of. 16 points. Miecucio, Setterberg and Staib formed a good scoring combination for the Beta Psi team, while Rut- kowski offered his stubborness at the guard position. Although Lind. made a good showing in the Triangle line~up he did not display the craftsmanship that was expected of him. Quinby was forced out in the latter part of the game on four per- sonal fouls. The game was fast and orderly and indications point to the fact that the one—sided score was not attributed to the Triangles’ comparatively poor basketball play- ing, but rather to their inability to make their scoring attempts yield results. The Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Alpha Mu fraternities took the floor in the aftermath, commencing play after the first two teams retired at the half. Both teams went into a scoring spree in the initial two min— utes of play, but idled down in the closing seconds of each quarter. The SAM. team enjoyed holding the lead in the first quarter but before the second canto was ended they were forced to relinquish the lead and trailed their opponents 9-5. Sigma Alpha Mu made less prog— ress in the second half being able :to score but one basket while the iDelts maintained their consistency .'.and sank baskets steadily until they accumulated a ten point margin to close the game with a 17-7 victory. There were but few short shots completed in the game although the attempts were quite numerous. Most of the ringers were accounted for on mid—floor shots. The playing of Barber and Cone was a feature of the game. Fisch— man and Edelman played a stellar game for their SAM. team. LINEUPS Esta Psi B. Ft.

Vic. {9845 lqugEctter Box To the Letter Box: The Senior Electricals have spent most of the semester calculating the efficiency of transformers, and the Juniors have been fighting the three efficiencies of motors and generators for months. Now that the end of the semester approaches, and a new one looms on the hori- zon, I wonder if someone will vol- unteer to calculate the efliciency of the Cashier’s office in collecting tuition fees on registration day?

Scherger will give the commencement address at the Chicago Normal School next Thurs- day, January 30. Dr. Scherger has chosen as his subject “The Mission of Culture." Plan Meets With Normal Surlmmers The Armour Tech swimming team will compete against the Chi— cago Normal College team, eight o’clock, Friday evening, February 21, at the Bartlett swimming pool. A return meet is scheduled for the following week in the Normal tank, Thursday, February 28. The meets were secured after an interview be- tween Manager Vander Velde, the team’s ex-captain, Mr. Trognitz, and. Coach Wyatt of the teachers school. The Normal College team is in an excellent condition and is going to give the Armour squad some keen competition. Those who at— tend the meets are going to see some fine swimming with plenty of action and splash. At the time of the return meet, Miss Isabelle Smith, a student at the Normal school and twice Win- ner of the Chicago Herald and Examiner Lake Marathon besides holding first honors for the annual A.A.U. Chicago Women’s river swim, will give an exhibition swim. An international dispute as to whether Germany or France first invented the tailless airplane has been precipitated by the claim of a French inventor, Pierre Bar— baudy, that he perfected such a model 20 years ago. The inventor declared that indifierence on the part of the French Academy of Science prevented him from devel- oping his idea. Dr. Harvey W. Boyd, Randolph’s oldest dentist in point of service, has treated every member of five generations of a single family.

Fags Eliseo fingers Lose to Chicago Normal Chicago Normal College, beaten by Armour in a previous game, walked over the Tech team an the last ten minutes of play, to am by a score of 19-8. The game was largely a defensive one, with Nor- mal scoring five field goals and £21:- mour two. 011 the first play of the game Egan scored a long basket for Eer— mal to take a lead which was nave: relinquished. Armour was unable to score for nearly fifteen minutes when Blessing sank a pretty basket for Tech’s only points of the half. At the intermission Norma led by an 8-2 count. The second half was played even more defensively than the first, neither team being able to score for about five minutes. Rowley re- covered a loose ball in mid-floor and drilobled in for a basket. During the next five minutes on. and Robin each tossed in a free throw thus giving Armour two additional points. With ten minutes to play and Armour trailing 8-6, Normal began to score. Barder, Egan and Taylor dropped in buckets and five free tosses brought their total to 29. Simpson and Sandstedt scored Armour’s remaining points on free throws. Barrier was high point man with six points, two field goals and a like number of free throws. Egan dropped two field goals for Normal. The best score of any Armour play- er was two points, honors going to both Flossing and Rowley. Line-up: ARMOUR— 33.th.
