Richardson Heads
Pine-emcee Eamon

A letter has been mailed out by
President, Raymond to alumni of the
Institute telling of the formation of a
Placement Bureau here at the Insti-
tute for the benefit of Armour grad-
uates.

Donald E. Richardson, class of 1924.
and Assistant Professor of Electrical
Measurements has been appointed the
head of this department which pro-
poses to deal with employment prob-
lems of Alumni members. The official
title of this new position is that of
“Placement Counselor," and the office
of the Placement Counselor is to be
considered as a vocational clearing
house for Armour men seeking posi:
tions, and for employers looking for
men to fit in their organizations. This
service is also extended to under-
graduates who are interested in ob-
taining part-time work. Mr. Richard-
son is to be assisted by the members
of the faculty in learning of oppor-
tunities for the alumni.

NA. VY AIRPLANE
CHI’EF EXHTBIT
0F CIVIL MUSEUM

A Civil Engineering Museum, a
project conceived and fostered by
Professors Phillips and Wells, has had
its beginning in the opening of two
rooms at 3337-39 Federal Ave. The
first acquisition is that of a complete
training biplane, which is being as-
sembled in the rooms.

This plane is of the type known as
the TS-l Training plane, and is regis-
tered as number A—6312. The plane
was secured from the ninth naval dis
trict, known as the Great Lakes Air
Base, Professor Rpesch had the plane
transported to the campus, and it is
nearly completely assembled at the
present time.

While the motor and instruments
will not be mounted on the fuselage,
the controls will be completely as-
sembled, so that the students of aero»
nautics will be able to study the de-
sign and the function of the rudder,
elevator, and ailerons. The structural
design features will also be studied in
coordination with the senior course in
airplane design.

 

 

 

Nothing to Look Forward To
For the present we have little to
look forward to in the line of sports.

Except for the interclass baseball
series which is to take place early in
October, things will remain quiet.
Cross country running may be at-
tempted this fall if sufficient interest
is shown.

Coach Kraitt was seen around
school last week. Wonder if he’s
started his plans already for some
championship baseball and basketball
teams?

We notice that the tennis courts are
undergoing ienovating and icsurfacing
operations which should make a big
difference in the matches played at
Tech. We‘ ll say that the recondition-
ing of these courts might even im-
prove our own game to such an ex»
tent that we might win a match now
and then.

The tennis courts are not the only
thing that was resurfaced during the
summer. Have you noticed the new
covering on the library floor and the
new rubber mats at the Main Eu-
trance?

We see that the chemicals are get-
ting one of their labs enlarged. All
it means to us is more room for those
guys to generate Aitch two Ess and

The First of a Fleet?

'l‘ccb’s first airplane is on partial
exhibit in the rooms on the first floor,

in a walking mood, may we suggest a
hike down to the exhibition hall?

We saw King Simpson pitch a game
for the Clayton H Smith Logan
Squaie team against the Champion‘
ship Mills Team. It must have been
one of King‘s off days because i’our
innings was all he could last. Of
course he was up against stiff compe-

 

tition, and it was one of his first
semi-pro games. We know that after
a few games King would get into his
stride and pitch for the Logan Squares
like he used to for Tech.

Johnnie Edstrand writes us from
Kansas City asking for the subscripA

itoesch Attends Fuel
Committee Meeting

 

 

Professor Daniel Roesch attended
the regular meeting of the Coopera-
tive Fuel Research committee of the
S. A. E., the A. P. I., and the N. A.
C. C., which was held at New York
city on September 15, 1930.

The most important phase of this
committee’s activities at present is the
study of detonation measurements and
the development of two standard fuels

‘of low and high anti-knock values,

which can be blended to give any
standard of reference fuel between the
poorest and the best.

 

The Western Society of Engineers
will present a. lecture with a demon
stration on the subject of “Exterior
Lighting in Architecture.” The lecture
will be delivered by Edwin D, Tillson
of the Commonwealth Edison Co. on
Monday, Sept. 29, at 7:00» p. m. at the

 

society rooms.

Chem Lab Enlarged
During Summer Months

The Electrochemistry laboratory on
the third iloor, which was always
rather cramped for space, has been
expanded during the slimmer to more
than twice its former size. In order to
make room for the enlarged laboratory
it was necessary to change the loca-
tion of Room H, a recitation room.
from the Main Building to Chapln
Hall.

Frank Usher to Present
Hound Volume to Ripley

 

Frank Ostcr, Custodian of Buildings.
is working on another collection of
newspaper clippings similar to those
which in the past have brought him
considerable note. The collection this
time is made up of the “Believe It; or
Not" series which is being published
daily in the Herald and Examiner.
Mr. Oster is mounting the clippings
in book form, and on completion or the
series will present the volume to Mr.
Ripley, the mentor of “Believe It or
Not

Mr. Oster is also making a collection
of rCal‘s/in Coolidge’s daily articles
which he will put in book form and
present to the author.
