Monday, February it), 19305 ARMOUR TECH htEWS Page Three ALMMNE NEWE Among the recent visitors was I Clarence Wonder Molen, ’28, who is now living in Hlnsdalc, Illinois. “Van" said some mighty kind words about the "News,” perhaps the kindest of which were, “Here is my ouch for next semester’s subscrip— tion." In a: 3 Fred Payne, ’23, dropped us a line from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he is busily engaged in “fire protecting.” Fred's old record for the two mile run still stands at Ar- mour, if we are not mistaken. A few years ago, Fred used to set a. new record for a distance run, then Phil Dclwcrt, ’23, would come along and break it. The next meet, the process would be continued. Now all records from one—half mile up stand in the name of these two men. Deiwert, by the way, is "fire protecting" for the Indiana Bureau at Indianapolis. it :2 u Speaking of track men, Johnny Yount, ’29, dropped around the other day to say hello. Johnny used to be one of our star shotn» putters. George G. Blair, '23, writes that he is planning to re-enter business life, resigning from the my Air Corps. George is at pres- ent stationed at March Field, Riv— erside, California, us a student. He is going with Johnson and Higgins, brokers, of New York City. George was a. star sprint man on the trot: team in ’22 and ’23. Ill fix 3!: Sidney S. Pulaski, E. it, ’29, was mottled to Wanda Jahiszewcki, a , sister of Stephen Janicccwslci, E. 191., ‘30. on Saturday, January 25. The couple will make their home in Ellrhart, 1nd,, where Sidney is em- ployed in the capacity ol‘ electrical research engineer. '1‘ Hi It Fred Tayama, E. 1%., ’30, is a radio dealer in San Francisco. He writes that he likes California. and has no intentions of coming back east. c :k 11 A letter was recently received from George Klocpfer, ’29, telling,r of his experiences and courses down at the Naval Aviation Station, Pen- sacola, Fla. George isthe only man who had his ground school training at Amour who mentally and phy- sically was able to fulfill all of the requirements of the Naval Aviation Corps. m 5.- >21 Alumni who were active in pub~ licetion work, as well as those who cartook in athletics, keep the good word going. Kent Parker, ’28, ex- Editor-in—Chicf of the Cycle, drops a. line from Louisville, Kentucky, where he spends his time hunting “bars in them that mountains." Boyden Hindman, ’29, also an ex— Editor-in-Chief of the Cycle, drops in from La Grange, Illinois, every once in a while to give the boys 3 little encouragement, > “Mac” Horn, ’28, who used to be President of the Musical Clubs, also writes from Kentucky, stating that he is an ardent ”News” reader, having lately learned to read Eng- lish. John Hommes, ’29, err-Editor- lnnChicf of the “News," writes reg- ularly from the some state. It looks like all good (morally) editors go to Kentucky when they graduate. ‘1 It V} Otto More}: and H. B. Schcidemanu tel, both “chemicals" of the class of ’29, are now connected with the Brunswick Bulkc Calendar Company. L.

E. 3, student branch of the American Institute of Electri- cal Engineers, is making a drive. beginning with the first of this semester, to get the sophomore electricals to become associate members. As one has to be u jun— ior electrical hemre lull—fledged membership can be taken out, only associate memberships can be of» feted to the sophomores. This membership entitles the sopho— more to all privileges minus the A. I. E. E. Journal, which is a feature of regular membership, thus mak— ing dues correspondingly lower. That the associate membership is sought otter is evidenced from the fact that the A. E. E. E. had 35 of such members last year. THE HELD GOD Paul Green Goodman Theater The current presentation at the Goodman theater, “The Field God", by Foul Green, is a play that is making a. marked impression upon the playgoers. This play, which won the Pulitzer prize [or 1927, is serious in nature; it represents, when analyzed, the contrast and conflict between atheism and Christianity. Yet, despite the sub— ject, the play is interesting, enter mining, and most effective in arousing the emotions of the audi— n cc. The play is laid in a rural com- munity of North Carolina, and the characterizations themselves make the play well worth seeing. The cost has managed to imbue the play with the proper atmosphere, the characters seem quite realistic, and have a well—developed accent; one feels that they have been vir— tually transplanted to that section of the country. It would be futile to attempt to give an opinion of the religious ole- merit, for that is a matter that one must see the play to properly do— volop for oneself. But the general treatment of the lives of these people, as presented in “The Field God” is What will leave the“ more lusting imprcmion. Every effort has been made by Paul Green to make the play true to life; such homely incidents that might tempt a. less courageous author to omit are portrayed, and add a lighter element to the action. We see the tired farmer sit down and wash his feet in the most natural manner possible, and the use of tobacco is not merely con» fined to gestures. Thruout the play, the sincerity of the presenta— tion must impress one. The dialogue throughout the evening is worthy of the author; Harry Mervis us the farmer—atheist is constantly foremost in making remarks that develop the issue, and his excellently-presented solilouuy in the last act is as potent as the most famous one of Hamlet. George Storm, playing the part of a. feeble minded youth, creates the full impression that the author must have desired; his acting and delivery are worthy of the part. The entire play tends to work on the emotions of the audience, and the climax may he considered to be in the revival scene, in which the “Goddesring” people try to convert the farmer. The tension thruout this scene is evidenced by the reactions of the audience, and marks the power of stage over the spectators. This play is one that can hardly be missed by those who enjoy the presentation of such 9. subject. The question is timely and eternal; and while your personal views may differ from those presented in the play, the chance to see it depicted in dramatic form should be of in— terest to every one. It is truly one of the outstanding plays of the year; instructive, and worthy of the Goodman. Fresh EEech‘bicth Hear Prof...

Men- tion was made about the require— ments of the employment agencies of large companies concerned with electrical work; it was pointed out that the character of the applicant often counted as much as one— ouarter of the desirable qualities of an employee. The requisite qualities ol good engineers were, sold Protessor Freeman, integrity, honesty, initia- tive, good judgment, technique, and knowledge of work. Applica— tions and questionnaires were brought out to show the demands of various corporations. A table of the average desirable qualities based on 100% is as follows: Character .................. 24.0% Judgment .. 10.5% Efilciency ............ .. 16.5% Understanding of men ...... 15.0% Knowledge of work ........ 15.0% Technique of practice ...... 10.0% The lecture well repaid the time spent on it by men in all courses.

Both teams showed ‘ plenty of fighting spirit but the engineers found difficulty in find— ing the basket, especially with their short shots. Coach Kraflt started his regular line-up , consisting of Captain Simpson and Robin as forwards, Rossing as center, and Rutkowski and Miran in the guard positions. De Kalb, utter testing the Tech defence finally broke through and scored two field goals. Armour started their scoring by making a free throw. Close guarding kept both teams from scoring for a time but the teachers eventually man— aged to slip clear and increase their lead.

Engineer Receives Advice of Alumnus (Continued from Page 1) work to which you turn after grad— uation. I would suggest, however, that the greatest financial rewards come in the business side of engi— neering and that you take advan- tage of any spare time to study the business subjects and not overlook the fundamental value of English. Unless you are of a scientific turn or mind, leaning toward research work, French and Spanish are likely to be more useful than Ger— man from a conversational stand« point. The training at Armour is, in my opinion, equal to that of any of. the schools in the country—portio— ularly if your leaning is in the di— rection of a normal engineering and business career. Its graduates are accepted for post~graduate work in other institutions on a par with the graduates of any school. The Institute has not been able to accommodate more than one- third of the applicants for admis- sion for a considerable number of years. It you find that you cannot secure admission there and ii’ you care to write me further at that time, I shall be glad to do what I can to assist you in selecting another institution. Very truly yours, R. M. HENDERSON. The Second Exhibition oi the Architects’ and Craftsmen's Work will be held from February 11 to March 11 at the Architects’ Club of Chicago, 1301 Prairie avenue. Professor .7. E. Peterson’s final Paris Prize drawings will he on ex» hihition and also drawings from each one of the architectural class— es and departments. The rooms will be open daily and the admis— sion will be free. Professor Seager, of the Rocke— feller institute, has. found that the West indies negroes are old men and women at the age of thirty be- cause of the hardships they have to undergo to eke out a living.
