The plan, copies of which are being mailed to the stu- dents’ homes, provides for six days upon which registration may be made rather than one day, as has been the case in the past. Since the first three of these registration days, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, January 28, 29, and 30. are regular school days, during which classes will be held as usual, it is expected that there will be no great rush to enroll in next semester’s classes. Cutting of classes in order to register and Venrollhwill not be countenangedh The other/”twomadded days of registration are Monday and Tues- day, February 2 and 3. In case anyone is unable to make use of any of these days, the regular reg- istration day on Monday, February 9, will still be available to him. Statement From OMce The statement from the Office of the Deans follows: “In order to avoid some of the confusion and waiting on the regu— lar registration day, February 9th, all students who are reasonably sure of their programs for the next semester may register and pay their tuition and fees on Wednes- day, Thursday, and Friday, Janu- ary 28th, 29th, and 30th, and on Monday and Tuesday, February 2nd and 3rd, between 9:30 a. m. and 1:00 p. to. “Students are requested to make payment by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order, made payable to the Armour Insti- tute of Technology. “Payment is to be made in the Cashier’s Office on the second floor, Main Building, after registra— tion by departments, as follows: Mechanical Engineers, in the Mechanical Laboratory, base- ment of Main Building. Electrical Engineers, in the office of the Electrical De- partment, second floor, Main Building. Civil Engineers and Archi- tects, in the office of the Civil Engineering Department, Civil Drafting Room, top floor, Mis- sion Building." Chemical Engineers, in the office of the Chemical Engi- neering Department, fourth floor, Main Building. Fire Erotection Engineers, in the office adjacent to the Cashier’s Office, second floor, Main Building. “Enrollment in classes may also be completed on these days by presenting receipts and tentative programs to the instructors. “For those who cannot take ad- vantage oi' the above, the regular registration day will be on Monday, February 9th. The same schedule will be followed on that date as for the earlier registration.” Tech News flalns Student Support A unanimous vote in favor of uni- versal student support of the A1" mour Tech News was taken at the beginning of the assembly for the annual Christmas Concert, Thurs— day, December 18. By the terms of the motion which this vote ratified, each student in school will be as- sessed one dollar each semester be» ginning with the coming semester. This assessment will entitle the stu- dent to a continuous subscription to the Armour Tech News as long as he is in school. “ "The feewwiil'tahs ‘thefiform‘of‘ a one dollar increase in the student activity fee and will be collected as part of it but will constitute a sepa- rate fund to be used solely for the publication of the Armour Tech News. The vote was taken by Professor Schommer after short talks by Dr. Raymond and Fred Attwood, edi— tor-in—chief of the News, had ex— plained the paper‘s financial con— dition and the reason for the sug- gested change. The plan is not new as it has been tried and found successful in many schools and colleges through- out the country. Mcé'ormacl’e Speaks to Illinois Students Professor H. McCormack, head of the department of chemical engi— neering, spoke before a joint meet- ing of the A. I. Ch. E. and the A. S. M. E. at the University of Illinois last Thursday, December eighth. The subject of his address was the “Flow of Heat.” Students Urged to Make Out Programs The program schedule for next semester is now posted in the front hall of the main building. Classes will be just as stated there, although some changes may pos— sibly be made in the future to ac- ‘ fe ‘ t with ing classes. All students who have not al~ ready done so are urged to get a program slip from the office and arrange their program for next semester, so as to be prepared on registration day.

BEAR SKETEH BY STUDENT The January issue of the Armour Engineer, which will probably be distributed by the nineteenth of the month, will have its cover dec- orated with a sketch of the Palmu olive Building by Spencer Cone, architect ’33. An article by Professor Daniel Roesch will appear in this issue, the subject being Aircraft Engines. It is the first of two articles which will be given; the second is being prepared for the March issue. These articles will contain results of some original tests and numer— ous experiments which Professor Roesch has performed inthe Au tomotive Laboratory. are taking aircraft design, al though it is written in such lash ion that its matter will be of general interest. This item will especially interest those who with other beacons, are discussed at length by R. M. Krause. One of the interesting features of this light is that its surface intensity is 800 c.p. per square centimeter. A com— parison of this surface intensity to that of the sun is made and other characteristics are also dwelt upon. The highlights of the manufac- ture of acetylene gas for commer- cial use are touched upon by Chas- ter Sitempkowski who describes in detail the various processes which convert carbide into the gas that is extensively used in industry and for heat and illumination at iso- lated points.

The Junior Informal, the first general social affair of this college year, will be held this Friday eve- ning, January 16, at the Steuben Club, located at Randolph and Wells streets. The junior dance is the first one this year because of the fact that the seniors did not hold their annual dance. “Jinx" Bryan’s orchestra will supply the music. Expect Large Crowd According to the social conunlt- tee, the sale of tickets has pro— ceeded even better than was ex- pected. This may have been caused by the cancellation of the senior dance. Indications are that over two hundred couples will be present at the dance. Bids Obtained From Committee Men who still wish to buy bids may obtain them from any of the members of the junior social com- u-mittec. Tl’iey are as follows: J. J. Casey, Chairman. J. E. Bryant, G. W. Schodde, A. J. Jungels, R. F. Waindle. According to James J. Casey, social chairman, the ballroom in the Steuben Club is of the proper size to accommodate the expected attendance. It is located on the twenty-second floor of the building, access being gained by special ex- press elevators which go directly to the ballroom floor. The dance floor is surrounded by lounges on three sides, the whole group taking up almost the entire floor of the building. Those who have been there say that the entire suite is beautifully decorated and the committee feels itself extremely fortunate to be able to secure it for the dance. “Jinx” Bryan’s orchestra, the one chosen by the committee, is famous for the “dreamy” type of music and is expected to keep the floor well filled with dancing couples throughout the entire evening. O’Gracly Welcomes Aerial Surveyors Omar O’Grady, C. 13., '17, was brought to the attention of his American friends again recently when he acted as head of the com- mittee of welcome to the members of the National Geographic Soci— ety’s aerial survey expedition at Natal, Brazil. The expedition train sled down the east coast of South America from Trinidad to Monte~ video and then across country to Santiago. O’Grady graduated from the civil engineering: department at Armour in 1917 and after a few years of work in the. United States, went to South America. Seven years ago he was elected mayor of the seaport tom: of Natal and since that time has done much to make a mod— ern city of it. largely thrown Q’Grady’s eflorts, Natal has grown from a sleepy little tropical town to a lively modern city. hassling with commme and industry. at present. Natal is served by five etio- plane transportation lines and one of the centers of seamen n Brazil.
