Una Hundred and Twentyul‘lve Men Vote flint: ot a
Possible One Hundred and Seventy-Six

USE NEW SYSTEM

 

Robert J. Serson was elected
President and R. A. Shoan was
elected Social Chairman of the
Senior'class at the election held
last Tuesday. These two men failed
to get a majority in the previous
election and a special election was
called. The results of the election
were:

President
Alfred C. Gunther .............. 58
Robert J. Serson ............... 6’?
Social Chairman
Walter Scott ................... 56
R. A. Shoan .................... 67

There was a great deal of in-
terest shown in this special elec-
tlon as could have been predicted
from the close vote before. Out of
176 men eligible, a total of 125
voted. Of the architects only four
voted. It is interesting to note that
Scott received the same number of
votes this time as in the preceding
election.

This election, as well as the
others, was under the supervision
of the election committee chosen
by the dean’s office. This commit-
tee is composed of: G. J. Heller,
Chairman; R. E. Escott, D. J. Paul,
E. R. Rowley, W. K. Simpson, and
M. A. Tennyson.

Sophomores Elect

 

Apparently the Sophomore class
spoke in the first election 11: the
results of the second are any indi-
cation. Only 15 per cent of the
class climbed the stairs to Science
Hall to cast their ballot. Because

of this, results were closer than ex- '

pected. Billing’s name was printed
or scrawled on 38 pieces of paper
while the name of W. H. Bauman
could be read on only 28 parts of
the same material. Enough was
enough and we now hail Lucian
Billings as the honorable president.

Last Thursday, Oct. 24, 1929, the
entire Senior and Junior Civil En—
gineering classes held an all day
inspection trip to the Clearing
Humps oi": the Chicago Outer Belt
Railway, the Control Station of the
Chicago Sanitary District at Lock—
port, the Hydro-Electric Plant and
Locks at Dellwood Park, and the
new dam and locks under con—
struction at Joliet. The above four
places were visited in the order
named.

At the Clearing Humps of the
Chicago Outer Belt Railway the
group after watching the modern
method of switching cars were
taken through the locomotive re—
pair shop where they watched an
entire locomotive lifted off its
wheels and set on blocks.

The next place visited was the
Control Station at Lockport. This
is used to regulate the amount of
water released below Lockport thru
the Canal.

Then the entire group took time
out for lunch before proceeding for
the Hydro-Electric Station and
Looks at Dellwood Park. Here they
were shown the new locks recently
installed, the methods of control-
ling the amount of water to be di-
verted and the hydro—electric
plant. It has seven turbines capa—
ble of generating 8,000 volts and by
means of transformers this is
stepped up to 44,000 volts before
being sent to Chicago for use.

Last they inspected the new dam
and locks under construction about

two miles south of Joliet. This proj—g
set is costing 5%; million dollars,‘

and is one of the most mammoth
and interesting spectacles to be
seen. One can acquire some idea of
its size by considering the fact that
the individual doors of the locks
weigh 200 tons or 1200 tons in—
cluding the weight 01‘ a safety lock.

The trip was sponsored by Profs.
Wells, Stevens and Herald. Messrs.

Grafton, Pearce and Elna also ac—

companied the group.

Armour May Have
a Small Symphony

Armour appears to he in view with
the announcement 01' J. E. Higgins,
President of the Musical Clubs,
that the band and orchestra may
possibly combine to form a small
symphony orchestra of about 50
pieces. Owing to the small number
of men out for these organizations,
it is believed that this plan will
give better results than two small
groups could obtain. Rehearsal
would be held on both Monday and
Tuesday nights. In this Way twice
as much could be accompl'mhed, ac-
cording to the oflicers of the club.
This plan will probably be given
a trial beginning next week at
Monday night rehearsal.

Musical Clubs” are:
