McCall, ’32 Vol. IV NOVEMBER ‘12, 1929 No. 8 SENIOR JA CKETS If the seniors really get senior jackets, they ought to get jackets of appropriate design. The engineering motif ought to be carried out in full, both in the spirit of the design, and in the material used. In other words, something distinguished. The slide rule, symbolic of all that an engineer does should be incorporated. A slide rule is an instrument, by the use of which a large amount of unnecessary labor may be avoided. It also makes speed possible. Surely this is just the aim to which the engineer strives. He eliminates the unnecessary work in mod- ern construction, in manufacturing, and in industrial processes. Therefore, let us by all means include the slide rule in our design for the jackets. A long nar- row pocket, built especially to hold a “slip stick” might be built on the side of the coat with proper reinforce- ment. Or a picture of each individual slide rule might be sewed across the front in full size. Those that own a big twenty inch log log might be bothered, but the average man could get along. Another big thing in the rising young engineering student’s life is a good handbook or two. By the aid of one of these, all questions on love, philosophy. me— chanics, electricity, and social etiquette may be answered. The ideal senior jacket will have the names of a couple of handbooks appropriately embroidered across the back where they may be easily seen for reference purposes. There should also be two or three big pockets for handbooks. Then there should be accommodations for a draw— ing set, T—square, spare covers for number six paper, about a pound of number six, a dozen or more sheets of Freeman and Snow, a French curve, and a few other minor trifles. The ideal jacket would be complete in itself, so as to eliminate the need for other clothes as much as possible. Perhaps it could be built somewhat on the order of a pup tent; then again it might be built on the order of a knapsack, or even might resemble a modern three-room (with kitchenette) apartment. The maten‘al should be reinforced concrete or steel as is the latest mode in engineering construction. Every man would be furnished with a little wagon to haul his jacket around, and the more ambitious ones could put a one—longer gas engine on the said wagon and ride along with the jacket. “Be deaf unto the suggestions of tale—bearers, cal— umniators, pick—thank or malevolent delators, who, while quiet men sleep. sowing the tores of discord and division, distract the tranquillity of charity and all friendly society. These are the tongues that set the world on fire. conkers of reputation, and, like that of Jonas his gourd, wither a good name in a night.” ——S‘1r Thomas Browne Kolumn Konductor: “A lady goes upstairs at 9:00 to dress for a dance.
