Are Unusual Because The}?

The architectural graduates of
Armour Institute are eligible to
compete for two traveling colla-
borative fellowships recently an~
nounced by the Foundation for
Architecture and Landscape Archi~
tecture of Lake Forest. The terms
are unusual in that they stipulate
travel in America instead of Eur-

pc.

Each year one or two students
are selected from the graduates in
architecture and in landscape
architecture at each of live middle
western schools—the universities of
Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois, Iowa
state college and Armour Institute
of Technology—to spend the sum-
mer session at Lake Forest.

Classes are held on the Lake
Forest college campus and work is
clone there under the critical eyes
of well known architects and artists
of the Chicago region.

The group oi": 13 or 19 students
is divided into pairs consisting of
an architect and a landscape archi-
tect and each pair enters a coilabo«
rative competition.

A jury, selected and instructed
by the American Institute of Archi—
tect's and the American Society of
Landscape Architects, together with
a layman appointed by the trus-
tees oi’ the foundation, will select
the winning pair for the Fellowship
and make the award.

The Fellowship was made pos-
sible through a fund of $2,500 for
three years created by Conde Nast,
eastern publishers. Two similar
European fellowships are awarded
yearly by the foundation through
the gift of the late Edward L.
Ryerson. ‘

WHEN Tilt: TURTLES SKNG nun
OTHER UNWSUAL TALES
Don Marquis
Doubleday Damn, 1.929
Undoubtedly, Don Marquis can
be ranked among the foremost of
the contemporary humorists. Per-
haps the general reading public
will not admit this without some-
thing of a struggle, for their lit—
erary palate has been somewhat
coarsened by the easy, straightfor—
ward and effervescent diet as fur—
nished by such authors as Ring
Lardner and P. G. Wodehouse;
Marquis is somewhat of a Satirist.
But to those who have read and
enjoyed “The Revolt of the Oys—
ter" and “Carter," his latest ofl‘er—
ing, “When the Turtles Sing,” is
most acceptable. It is a collection
of short stories that are a bit un-
usual; this is quite in keeping with
the title. The stories are not mere
vehicles for the humorists quips
and jokes; rather they are stories
that contain the essence of humor
as well as a substantial plot struc—
ture. They do not leave the after-
taste that is common when one in-
dulges in an excess, but in place a

longing for more.

The book has a faint tinge of the
surprise ending a la 0. Henry, but
the stories are far more interest~
ing, and the style so utterly
different that one can hardly
compare the two. Throughout the
book is the underlying note of
satire, and it flavors the book in a
way that must make it likeable to
a large class of discriminating
readers.

Marquis himself makes a fascin—
ating subject for discussion, and in
Christopher Morley’s latest book of
essays, “Shandygafi,” one will find
a short one on him.

mean Discusses
Class Elections

 

Officers of all classes have been
called into conference by Dean
Palmer to discuss the coming class
elections. According to statements
given by officers interviewed the
Dean is desirous of having the
classes change their present
method of elections, particularly
the balloting system. lie also sug-
gested that the nominations be
made by petition instead of from
the floor as has been done in the
past years. To be nominated, a
candidate must turn in a petition
which at least ten members of the
class have signed.

The balloting system now in
vogue is in great need of reform.
It has been the custom to pass out
pieces of paper to each member of
the class. The paper ,being passed
out indiscriminately, the boys have
been indiscriminate in their vot-
ing. Dean Palmer suggested that a
new form of balloting be acquired.
The method that he advanced was
to hold a meeting to make nom»
inations, then to have ballots with
the names of the nominees distrib—
uted, one to each member of the
class. The ballots should then be
cast in a box placed in a prom—
inent place and watched over by
someone appointed by the presi—
dent. This man will have a list of
the members of the class, and will
check each one off as he slips his
vote into the box. The Dean says
that by following this procedure,
a fair election is assured and the
time formerly consumed by several
assemblies will be saved.

Dean Palmer wants it to be
clearly understood, however, that
this is merely a suggestion to be
acted upon by the classes, and is
not to be taken as an order from
the Dean’s office.

”A note and clipping from 311.8.

est cases over left unsolved by Scot-
land Yard, and discloses still an—
other aviation 'center‘ in the
United States:

“ ‘Special Dispatch to the Globe,

airship accident since this city be—
came an aviation center some
months ago, took place near Rock-
land Breakwater Light this after-
noon, when a pontoon, piloted by
Lieut. William Blaufus, crashed
into the water.’ "

Lieut. Blaufuss graduated from
Armour with the class of ’25, and
entered the Army air service.
