WWW "m VACA'E‘E Alibi Milli row Willi Elliii'l‘lllflhm Civils May Have to Carry Brief Cases Hereafter Last Friday afternoon marked the evacuation of the civils from the civil alley when an omcial or— der posted by the ofi'ice ordered the lockers to be emptied. This note was posted about twenty minutes after the culmination of a fight between the senior civils and senior slectricals. Mission Hall was the scene of action, the battle raging between the civils in their alley and the electricals in the Senior Drafting Room, through the open windows of the intervening wall. The fight began casually enough when a civil came into the electri- cals’ room to reclaim his books, which were rudely taken by the electricals. He was immediately ushered out through one of the windows and the matter was con— sidered closed, when a bushel bas- ket was thrown into the drafting room. It was immediately thrown out. Again it sailed in with the accompaniment of other missiles such as waste baskets, floor mops, etc. The fight came to an abrupt end when a water-filled cigar box (Continued on Page 3) FRESHMEN ELECT THREE OFFICERS 0N I'IWWAL VQTE The election of the oflicers of the freshman class was held last Thursday, October 1'7.

Engineer Staff to Attend? germination The stafl’ of the Armour Engi- neer will journey to Purdue Uni— versity to attend the annual convention of the Engineering Col— lege’s Magazine Association, to be held on October 31, November 1 and 2. The staff members expect to leave Chicago Wednesday night and travel by auto to Lafayette. It is expected that representa- tives from colleges and universi~ ties all over the country will at- tend. At the meeting, criticisms of the various magazines will be read by the chairman; the object being to improve all the periodicals. Rep- resentatives from each school can bring up two problems for discus- sion which have confronted them during the past year. Thursday night, October 31, there will be a banquet for the repre- sentatives and a dance is sched— uled for Friday night. The Armour party consists of al— most the entire stall of the Engi- neer, including N. D. Buehling, editor; H. H. Stebbins, R. B. Mor— tensen, H. Stier, A. J. Frost, F. 1-1. Bigelow, I. G. Katz, R.

Armour Graduate iEornpletes Study Dr. F. G. Pease, ‘01, and Doctor of Science ’27, has recently com— pleted a series of research observa— tions on the outlying nebulae. Doctor Peasc, in collaboration with Doctor Humason, has been mak— ing observations and calculations on these astral bodies since last November at the Mount Wilson ob- servatory, Pasadena, California, where they are both staff members. Their work has shown that three of these far~ofl nebulae have the peculiar characteristics of receding from the earth at a most rapid velocity of 4,800 miles per second. Further investigation of the fifty known nebulae shows that but five are approaching our solar system, and these with relatively slow velocities. The problem is to de— termine the cause for this phe— nomena. Inasmuch as these “island uni~ verses” are roughly twenty-five million light years (3: times ten to the seventeenth power miles) dis— tant, it is thought that perhaps the observed velocity, which is in real— ity the relative may be the effect of the tremendous distance. This work by Pease will also add to the age-old controversy regarding the finite quality of the universe. Dr. Pease was graduated as an electrical engineer in 1901, and re— ceived from the Institute the de— grec of Master of Science in 1924, and Doctor of Science in 1927. He is numbered as one of Armour’s most outstanding graduates. IFILASK AND BEAKER Flask and Beaker will hold its regular bi-weckly meeting in its rooms today at 1:10.
