Armour Institute of Technology. Chicago, Illinois WEI. COME Open House Night at the Armour Institute of Tech— nology is the one night of the year when the faculty and the students have made special preparation to extend greet~ ings and welcome to all the friends of the Institute. Spe— cial exhibits have been pre- pared in the various depart- ments, which we hope will be of interest to all of tour vis~ itors. Members of the faculty and students will explain the workings of their respective departments and demon- strate the experiments and apparatus on display. We hope that the parents of our students will meet the teachers of their sons and ac~ quire a more intimate knowl- edge of our methods and work. Please remember that visitors are always welcome at the Institute at any time, and we hope that your eve— ning spent with us tonight will prove enjoyable and in— teresting. HOWARD M. RAYMOND. 1930 CYCLE TO BE DISTRIBUTED ON CIRCUS DAY The 1930 Cycle wil be distributed on Circus Day in Ogden Field, ac— cording to a statement from P. E. Heath, editor.

Fire Protects inspect Curtis Flying Field Prof. Holmes accompanied the Senior Fire Protects out to Curtis Flying Field last Friday at 1 o‘clock on an inspection trip. The reason .gm‘or the large. attendance on the trip was because the fellows were allow— ed to go up for the small sum of a cent a pound, after they had com— pleted their inspection of the vast field. CLASS RUSH, REAA l’ AND SPCA TS FILL MAZDA Y’S PROGRAM Circus Day, the crowning event of Junior Week, will be held Fri— day, May 16, instead of Saturday as in previous years. Frank James and his crew of marshals have drawn up plans for a full day of contests. The interclass relay at 9:30 a. in. will be the first thing on the pro- gram. Shortly aitcr this, at 9:45 a. m., the pentathalon will begin. This will determine the best all- around track man at Armour. Fol— lowing the pentathalon is the in— terfraternity relay at 11:30 a. m. The class rush, which is sched— uled as the first event of the after— noon, is expected to be quite a lively contest. Enthusiasm has been growing for over a month. At this time it will be manifasted in ten minutes of highly contested scrapping for the fifty sacks filled with straw and the three sacks of sand The sacks will be placed in the middle of Ogden Field Each sack of straw will count one point and each sack of sand will count for five points. The Sophs with their red shirts will have the north end of the field as their goal and the Fresh will deposit the sacks they collect at the south end. It will be absolutely forbidden to throw the sacks over the fence. The Junior marshals, in white flannels and yellow coats, with black trimmings, will be swinging paddles discriminately. Many other members of the junior class will be on the field to see that no “rough stuff” is pulled between the lowe1 classmen. The Interfraternity Pageant will be the next event in which each of the fraternities will present a stunt of some sort. The stunts ale to _ be judged by a committee of facul— Main building. Chemical Engineering Exhibits and experiments will be shown all evening in the Freshman Chemistry laboratory on the third floor of the Main building, in the Industrial Chemistry laboratory on the fourth floor of the Main build— ing, and in the Organic Chemistry laboratory on the fourth floor of the Main building. In the Met- allurgical laboratory, reached through the Electrical Engineering laboratory on the second floor of the Main building, a series of ex~ periments will be run during the evening. There will also be an exhibit of chemical determinations held i the Physical Chemistry Laboratory on the third floor of the Main building. 5 Fire/V Protection Engineering A model sprinkler system exhibit will be shown all evening in the Physics Lecture Room on the sec- ond floor of the main building. Architecture Exhibits of Architectural design problems will be displayed in the foyer of the Main building. Physics Experiments will be shown in the Physics laboratory on the first floor of: Chapin Hall during the entire evening. Among the experiments will be a demonstration of the properties of liquid air, the generation of elec— tricity and magnetism from heat by use of a thermo-couple, the dis- charge of electricity through gases at reduced pressure and the demon- stration of the principle and opera— tion of neon signs. Foundry Exhibits of core making and of molds will be shown in the Foun— dry on the fourth floor of Machin— ery Hall. A cupola of molten iron will be poured at about 8:25 P. M. Wood Shop Exhibits of pattern making and other forms of craftsmanship will be shown in the wood shop on the third floor of Machinery Hall.

The operation of the cost meter, the running of an electric furnace, the demonstration of tele~ type and the effects of a rotating magnetic field are some of the other electrical exhibits to be shown. Chemicals Offer Variety The department of chemistry will have several exhibits. The seniors will give a product display in the laboratory at the south end of the fourth floor. They will also be mak- ing soap, and will have several dis— plays showing the various steps in the manufacture of nigrosine dyes. other processes to be shown are the derivation of dry colors for paint and the purification of corn oil. The juniors will work in the an~ alytical chemistry laborating on the fourth floor. Their chief displays are pyrometry, filtration processes, water purification methods with ‘11— lustrative experiments and displays and an exhibit of the products of the laboratory. The juniors also have displays in the Physical Chemistry. Laboratory on the third floor and in Room A on the fourth floor. In the Physical Chemistry Laboratory continuous experiments will be performed il- lustrating the amount and deter- mination of surface tension, the methods of fractional and steam distillation and the determination of molecular weights. In Room A will be an exhibit and experiment on microphotography in connection with the metallurgi‘ cal courses. The sophomores will be manufac— turing dyes, perfumes, medicinals, and banana oil in the organic chemistry laboratory at the north end of the fourth floor. In the Qualitative and Quantita— tive Chemistry Laboratory the freshmen will be doing their reg— ular experiments of analysis. There will also be a spectroscope exhibit in the same room with an operator to aid the visitors in handling the instrument. Civils Show Instruments The civil department will exhibit drawings made in the different courses and the surveying instru— ments. It will also exhibit a de— vice for the mechanical solution of stresses in structures. F.P.E.’s Show Model A miniature warehouse, filled with stock and equipped with a complete sprinkler system will be f the feature of the exhibit. which is being sponsomd by the Fire Pro— tection Engineering Department. Fires will be sta1ted and put out by Foamite and other kinds of ex— tinguishers in order to demonstrate the quickness with which they wail: and to show that they can be counted upon A complete dry pipe system \m‘th ’sprinkler heads. pipes and every- ((‘ourimwti on pzrfif 9)
