The men will leave Friday, June 13th, from the Union Station. They will take the 6: 25 train on the Milwaukee road and arrive at Minocqua at 6:45 A. M. Saturday morning. From there they will take a bus and ar- rive at camp about 8. 30. Wednes- day, J1me llth, President Raymond, Dean Palmer and Dean Penn will address the men at 2 o’clock in the physics lecture room and give them the final instructions. The summer course in surveying is not to be a vacation but a change of work. Fishing is allowed but no hunting, as the camp is in a. state park. Fishing tackle can be brought along and licenses obtained at the camp. The students are not al— lowed to have cars at camp and anyone contemplating driving up to camp will have to store his car at Minocuua. The men will be ad- vised to wear plenty of clothing to protect themselves from sunburn. Everybody is guaranteed a good coat of tan before the six weeks are over. Non—electrical students who took work with Professor Clifford may secure their reports from Mr. Fall: in the electrical laboratory. “All-American Teams” Professor Freud of the organic chemistry department has an- nounced his “All-American” selecu tlons for this year. Each year he picks two “All-American teams" which are composed of the best products made by the sophomore chemicals in the organic lab during the year. W. A. Holland made the best showing, having five of his products picked for the first team and one for the second. His laboratory partner, S. J. Stockman, placed four on the first and one on the second. Arthur R. Vie] had eight picked for the second team and one for the first Summer Electrical Course Lacks Men To date, nine electricals have ex- presed their desire to take the course in junior electricity offered at summer school At least ten men must enroll, however, before the course becomes a reality. In eight weeks the en— tire year of junior l‘juice” is gone over, which probably is the reason more have not signified their inten— tion of enrolling. Electricals wishing further parti— culars, should communicate with A. Weston, ’32 or W. C. Bren, ‘32. The tuition for the course will probably be one—hundred dollars. SENIOR PRESIDENT ROBERT SERSON WES Graduates Paid tor hiatus Wisconsin Engineers With High Grades to Receive $25 Advantage Graduates of the college of engi- neering who have distinguished themselves while in school by their scholarship, personal qualities, and general worth will receive a start-« ing salary $25 a month higher than their loss distinguished classmates and will maintain this advantage for at least a year or two. This plan is being put into effect for the first time this year by one of the big corporations of a com- pany which employee large numv bars of engineers, according to a letter which has just reached Prof. G. L. Larson, head of the depart- ment of steam and gas engineering at the university. “In order to establish a salary schedule that equitably recognizes distinctions in scholastic standing, personal qualities, and general worth we have this year established two salary groups,” the letter reads. “One group naturally is provided for those graduates whose record thus far has stood out above most graduates. The other group is provided for those who have done well in their work so far. “This salary arrangement, we feel confident you will agree, is fairer to your graduates. Experi— ence in our organization gives sufficient proof that young men in this latter group can in numerous cases ultimately catch up to and outstrip those who started on a higher level." Another employer is this year making a salary differential of $20 a month in favor of the men who hold the master’s degree. This is the first case on record of any such recognition by an employer of the value of graduate work, say oflici- als in the college of engineering. The college of engineering is now being visited by employers of grad— uate engineers, according to Prof. Larson. In spite of existing busi— ness conditions, which are less fa— vorable than for some time past, the indications are that all of this year’s graduating class in engi- neering will be suitably placed by commencement time.~The Dally Cardinal, University of Wisconsin. More than 15,000,000 automobiles, representing a total original cost of $12,156,000,000, or an average of about $800 each, have been scrapped since 1919, according to a survey made by the Niagara Fire Insur- ance Company. In announcing the findings of the survey, Ernest Stun-n, chairman of the board of the insurance com- pany, said that during the past 10 y e a r s automobile manufacturers have assembled created wealth in the form of motor cars to the amount of $26,840,011.75. “After deducting the cost of those rele— Mr. mReed spoke at the 63rd An- nual Convention of the American Institute of Architects at Wash— ington during May 21, 22 and 23. Among the other speakers were Dean Everrett V. Mocks of the Yale School of Fine Arts and Ralph T. Walker of New York. The symposium of the conven— tion was Modernism. In organiz~ ing the program Mr. Charles Butler of New York said, “Architec— ture, like the other arts, must be free to respond to man’s develop ing needs and widening horizons. To cramp it by rigid adherence to the technique or formula of other times or by uncongenial dogmas would be to dry up the springs of its inspiration. In Le Corbusiers’ statement that architecture should ‘mlrror the age’ is crystalized the belief of the modernist. The new is always startling. Appralsing the familiarity with the modem lies through discussion.” Mr. Reed, in his talk, praised the Tribune's competition through which they secured a design for their tower. He said, “the compo- tition resulted in the production of a series of designs which have pro- foundly affected American Archi- tecture.” At the time of the Fair in 1893 the city was a scene of ”ex— traordinary chaos. ” The Fair, “calm, ordered, coldly classical. alien and outwardly lovely, laid upon us the withering hand of dead ages." In speaking of the forthcoming Fair he. said, “At the threshold of another world’s fair I am struck by the violence of the contrast offered between it and its predecessor. All concerned, I think, in the design of the exposition which marks the brief 100 years of Chicago’s life are directing all their energies to make its forms fully and freely expres— sive of its purpose without regard to historic style." Tallest in World The Chrysler building in New York was officially opened last Wednesday, May 28. This building is the tallest in the world being ’78 stories in height. There is an exhibition of etch— ings, lithographs, and woodcuts by Auguste Lepere. There are included two exceptionally flue prints of the cathedrals of Reims and Amiens. The collection is in the print de- partment of the Art Institute. More Books The Burnham Library announces the addition of many new archi- tectural. books to their collection.

This modest youth, William King Simpson, by name, may well be compared with Don Hamilton who has been rated the ‘. greatest of all Tech hurlers. While King has been at Armour he has established some sort of a record. letters—four in baseball and three in basketball. tivlty, King has maintained an 86.8 average, has never been flunked and is to be graduated in four years. Attended Schurz High School Simpsonwgegariw his high school work at Schulz High School‘ In Ohi- cago. During his first year he was a member of the school swimming team. The freshman ruling pre» vented him from participating in baseball and basketball during his first year. He was substitute pitcher in 1924 when Schurz won the In— tercity baseball championship. In his junior and senior years he was first string pitcher. Only one team had the Indian sign on Schurz in those days; that team was Lane Tech. Simpson lost four games to Lane in two years. Simpson began his basketball career as a heavy- weight in 1924. He played as a forv ward and center during this time. He was elected captain of the bus- ketball team in 1926. While at Schurz Simpson received three let— tcrs in baseball, two in basketball and one in golf. He was elected president of the senior class and was voted the most popular man in school in 1926. Game To Armour As Chemical In September, 1926, Simpson ma— triculated at Tech as a freshman student in Chemical Engineering. He tried out for basketball under Coach Milton Romney but due to a leg injury early in the season he was forced to retire from the squad. King won a place as regular center in 1927 and was awarded a major letter for his work. In his junior year and under a new coach, W. C. Krafit, Simpson played as forward and was high point man of the team. His final and last year he captained the Tech team as well as being the high point scorer. King won two letters and a capu tain’s sweater in basketball. As a freshman Simpson was rated on a par with Alexander who was then the leading Armour pitcher. That year, 1927, the team won nine games and lost five. Simp— son played in the outfield when he was not pitching and he hit the ball to the tune of .422. His sopho~ more year, King lost two games to Luther College, Iowa State cham- pions. The team total for that year was ten won and five lost. Last season, by far the biggest year Tech has ever had in baseball, the team won thirteen and lost one game. Simpson lost to Luther in a has ever worn the black and yellow . He has been awarded seven major ‘ In spite of his ac— _ KING W. SIMPSON heart—breaking contest, 7—2. For his fine work as pitcher he ’Was awarded a watch charm baseball by Coach W. C. Krafft. Shopson’s record, this year shows two defeats, one at the hands of Notre Dame and the other by Western State. Simpson has won three major let~ tors in baseball and will receive his captain’s monogram this year. When the baseball season closed last May, King had nine offers for trials with major league baseball teams. All of these were subsen quently rejected. Kraflt’s Statement Coach W. C. Krafft, baseball and basketball mentor, in an exclusive interview with this writer made the following statement regarding Simpson. “King Simpson is without a doubt one of the greatest college pitchers ever developed in the United States. Although this might seem a broad statement it is the consensus of opinion of men who know baseball. “When Simpson appeared for baseball in his freshman year, he was throwing with a peculiar wrist and forearm motion. By having him change his: delivery in order to get his shoulder and body weight behind each pitch he has brought results of which his record stands as proof. “His greatest qualities as a. pitcher are: courage, keen judg- ment, gameness and smart base» ball sense. I wish to commend him on his sportsmanship and loyalty to the team.” Upon graduation Simpson in— tends to play baseball, perhaps with Clayton Smith’s Logan Square Team. When the season is over he plans to conduct special research. work for a north side chemical. company. Simpson is a member of Theta. X! social fraternity, Honor “A,” Ameri— can Institute of Chemical Engi» nears, President of the Armour Tech Athletic Association and a, member of the senior class election committee. He served as freshman and sophomore representative to the A. T. A. A. He was elected as vice-president of: the Association in 1929 by student vote. TMEK Rho it" 60M.
