This affair, which is looked forward to by the electricals, Open House Night, Concert, Baseball Games, Class Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman Classes First; Rush, Dance, Track Meets Scheduled KEEN RlVALRY EXPECTED IN RUSH The plans for Junior week are gradually being formulated by the Junior Marshals. At a. meeting of this group which was held last week, a tentative schedule of events was drawn up As in the past, the traditional Freshman—Sophomore rush will be held. Keen rivalry is expected here because of the spirit displayed by the lower classmen in the inter— class sports held thus far. Rush leaders for both classes will be elected in the near future. When this has been done, the various plans of attack, shirt dyeing and bag stealing stunts will begin. Several new features will be added to the program this year, ac» cording to the Marshals. These are not to be disclosed until the event- ful week arrives. The program as it has tentatively been drawn up is as follows: Monday, May 12: Open House night at the Institute. Tuesday, May 13: with Loyola. Wednesday, May 14: Annual Ar~ mour Concert; Interfraternity sing; Baseball, Lake Forest at Armour. Thursday, May 15‘: Interclass re— lay; nter—fraternity relay; Pen- tathlon. Track meet and Tennis Architectural Society To initiate Freshmen . It has always been a tradition with the architects that the Fresh— en shall be initiated into the Ar- mour Architectural Society. After this event, they are considered to be full-fledged members of that great and honorable fraternity of pencil pushers. The program is under the direc- tion of the junior class of the ar- chitects. They have elected Emil J. Minx, Massier, and Martin Braun, Sous-Messier. The ceremony will take place under their supervision, Friday, March 14, 1930. The junior class will be assisted by the sophomore class, who have elected as their representatives in the arrangement of the program, David Chapman, Massier, and Robert Fairbanks, Sous~Massier. The seniors will act in the capacity of judges and will perhaps add their brawn and wisdom to the afiiar. One of the features of the initia- is being run by a committee com sisting of E. W. F. Hanks, R. G. Kellner, B. H. Roflee, R. J. Serson, and H. E. Stein.

Eugene Volta, ’25 Secs Deon Merritt Eugene Volta, Arch., ’25, a mem— ber of the evening school faculty at Art Institute, had the pleasure of spending several days with our for- mer Dean, Dr. Louis Celeste Monin at Zurich, Switzerland, while on his recent trip to Europe. Last Satur— day at the Sigma Kappa Delta Ini— tiation Banquet, Voita told of his visit to Switzerland. During the time he was in Dr. Monin’s company, Mr. Volta was given the opportunity of dining with the former Dean, in the stu— dent dining hall where Dr. Monin had taken his meals while in col- lege. Each fraternity in the school had its own table in this dining hall, at which its members met for conver- sation and comradeship. It was the custom among these fraternities to give their officers the right of carving their names on the table of the fraternity, the officers’ posi- tion being'indicated by the size of letters employed. There, carved just fifty years ago when he was twenty-tWo, was the name “Louis Celeste Monin” and in letters larger than any others on the table. Although Dr. Monin still takes great pleasure in his memories of Armour Institute, and is always eager to hear from his former friends here, he does not plan to visit the United States again. He is seventy—two‘years old now, and prefers to spend his time at his home in Bertie. All of the students’ averages will be able to be obtained at the Dean’s office within a week or ten days.
