El Elections

To Be Held

on Same Day

WELL WELCOME SUGGESTEONS

A committee composed of. the
following men who were officers of
last year’s classes is to take com"
plete charge of all class elections
to be held this year:

F. B. Attwood, ’31, Chairman
W. Drigot, ’31

S. M. Lind, '32

J. B. Dirkers, ’32

R. W. Carlstrom, ’33

W. W. Davies, ’33

Although no definite plans have
been announced by the committee,
it is probable that the system of
nominating by petition which sev—
eral classes used last year will be
adopted for all the classes except
the freshman. The first year class
will hold nominations from the
floor. Details as to the number of
signers needed to nominate and
the dead line for the nominating
petitions will be announced during
the early part of next week.

After the nominating ballots
have been checked over by the
members of the committee, an elec-
tion day will be announced on
which. all students of all classes
and all departments must vote. A
day will be selected which will be
convenient to the greatest number
of students. Suggestions concern-
ing any phase of the election pro-

cedure will be welcomed by mem—

bars of the committee.

DEANS ADMRESS
FROSH IN SECOND

Friday, Sept. 26, the freshman
class attended its second assembly
of the year. Dean Palmer addressed
the men. Much useful information
was disclosed regarding the Fresh-
man Handshake, the Rushing Sea-
son, and absences from class.

The Freshman. Handshake will
take place on Wednesday, Oct 1, at
8 o‘clock in the evening and is

freshmen are urged to attend. Re-
freshments and entertainment will
be provided. The purpose of this
meeting is to give the members of
the freshman class a chance to get
acquainted with the upper class—
men as well as with members of
their own class.

Those who are absent from class
for any reason whatsoever must
obtain an absence blank from the
instructor, fill it out and return it.

All the freshmen were urged to
get into as many activities and
organizations they possibly could.
The Glee Club and Stresses and
Strains were mentioned as good
starting points for showing college
spirit.

Should any of the freshmen find
things dark and discouraging they
are to see the Dean or any of their
instructors who will be glad to help
them.

torcsting statistics regarding the
Freshman class. Every year out of
the entire class ten or twelve drop
out on account of sickness, about
20 drop out because they can’t keep
up the pace. At the end of the
semester about 20 men are placed
on probation, that is, given another
chance and 18 or 20 are dropped
outright for poor scholarship.

With the words “We are here
working in partnership—the fac-
ulty and students," the class was
dismissed.

A class in Calculus II has been
organized at 9:30 a. m. for those
who cannot take the subject at
10:30. The class met for the first
time yesterday in G, Chapin Hall.

 

The doctors agreed, however,
that he was in as good a condition
as could be expected after such a
trial. These reports are very enu
couraglng.

the students of his time. Having
left the Institute in 1927, he was
known by the graduating class of
this year.

It is the sincere hope and wish
of the faculty and the student body
that Dean Monin fully recovers

and together they extend their,

sympathy to Mrs. Monin.

Improve Registration
Methods to Save mime

 

A commendable improvement in
the method of registration this
semester was quite apparent to the
members of the student body, who
have been accustomed, in previous
semesters, to stand in disorderly
lines for four or five hours in an
effort to pay their fees and enroll
with their instructors.

To facilitate this enrollment,
letters were sent to all Sophomores,
Juniors and Seniors advising them
as to when and how tuitions and
fees were to be paid. This is the
first time that such a method has
been followed, but the benefits se—
cured from it will no doubt warrant
its use in succeeding years. The
Freshmen, also. were handled in a
better way because of the previous
instruction which they received.

The presence of four cashiers, to
whom tuition and fees were pay—
able, instead of only two as have
heretofore been customary was also
an important factor in avoiding
confusion and in shortening the
time which students were required
to spend in line. One of the cash—
ier s offices was closed at ll: 15 and
another at ll: 30, whereas, in the
past, they were never cloSed beime
one or later.

PROF, EHGMPSONE
RADIUM ELOEK «ON
DESPEAY EN LOOP

A radium clock built by Professor
Thompson of the physics depart-
ment is in the office of Dr. F. E.
Simpson at 59 E. Madison street.
In the four years it has been run-
ning it has not lost a fraction of a
second that could be detected by
the common chronometer.

After a couple of thousand years
Dr. Frank E. Simpson anticipates
that the clock may run a little slow
but it never will have to be wound.

This clock, that has never been
wound and promises to run for an-
other twenty centuries without
stopping, comes near enough to
perpetual to be called so for all
practical purposes. It has been
running for four years.

An invisible speck of radium in-
closed in glass constantly gives off
energy. Two delicate leaves of
metal are suspended like the prongs
of a tuning fork on either side of
the particle of radium.

Repel Each Other

As they are charged by the ra—
dium they repel each other and
separate until they come in contact
with a negative terminal. Then
they discharge and fall back to the
original position to be charged

 

instruments and new men to be 9. am

prepared for try—outs.

The Glee Club, under the direc~
tion of Dr. Daniel Protheroe, will
get under way this Thursday eve»
him; at 5:00 p. m. in the Assembly
Hall. Dr. Protheroe will try out
the new men and also give the old
fellows a little long exercise.

The Stress and Strains meet
weekly on Monday evenings at 5:00.
As in the case of the Glee Club
and Orchestra, new men are eager—
ly sought after.

rFor Freshmen it is well to re-
member that participation in the
activities of the Armour Tech

 

Musical Clubs gives credit for gymn-
nasium work.

This process takes thirty-five
seconds. In the course of about 200
years it should be accomplished in
half a minute. The amount of ra-
dium used to run the clock is very
small-about $300 worth.

Dr. Simpson uses radium medi-
cinally and the clock is not a prac—
tical timepiece; but a device to
demonstrate the t r e m e n d o u 5
energy of: the element.

A. meeting of the entire stall of
the 1931 cycle has been called by
A. H. Jens, editor—in—chief. This is
to take place at the Sigma Kappa
Delta House. 3344 S. Michigan Blvd.

 

on Wednesday stoning at ‘?:39 p. m.

The Annual Freshman Hand-
shake will be held Wednesday, Oc—
tober 1, at 7:30 p. m. in the Assem-
bly I-lall, Mission building and will
as usual, be sponsored by the
Campus Club assisted by various
other organizations in the school.

The program for the evening will
include a few numbers by Armour's
peppy social orchestra; Stresses
and Stairs, some college songs and
cheers by all who attend, and
speeches. This is the first time
“Stresses and Strains” has played
at a Freshman Handshake, and the
event is looked forward to with in—
terest. ,

A speech of welcome to the ill-1
coming freshmen will be presented
by James C. Filmer, president of
the Campus Club. John Schom—
mer will follow with a few remarks
and President Howard M. Raymond
will give a short address.

Immediately after the program
refreshments will be served, under
the direction of the committee in
charge, and the upper classmen
will be on hand to welcome the
freshmen into the school life.

The handshake provides an ex-
cellent opportunity for upper class-
men and new students to get ac—
quainted in an informal manner.

Night School @ffers
