Professor Hendricks lives at 1956 West 94th street. The business meeting will be fea— tured by suggestions and plans from stafi members. The social meeting is arranged so that the men will become better acquainted and will consist of card games, smokes, cats, and entertainment. This gathering is one of the two held yearly in order to establish more mutual social relationships between the men, and to give all the staff a chance to know and ap- preciate what their follow workers are doing. Chemical group Elects F: B. Attwoocl President A meeting of the Armour Branch of the A. I. Ch.E. was held in the Assembly Hall last Tuesday at 11:30. The new Sophomore chemicals were welcomed into the organiza— tion and were told what part they had to play in the proceedings of the group. Following the welcoming address, an election of officers was held. The following officers were chosen for the coming year: F. B. Attwood, President. G. L. Stockman, Vice-President. H. J. Latham, Treasurer. 0. G. Linneli, Secretary Ollicers Elected at Glee Club Rehearsal At a rehearsal, held last Thurs— day, October 9, in the Assembly Hall, the Glee Club elected officers for the coming season, 1930—31. The results of the election are as follows: J. E. Walker, ’32#President. E. W. Carlton, ’32—Secretary. M. E. Schramm, ’32—Bus,—Mgr Thursday’s rehearsal further demonstrated the fact that the Glee Club this year is well balanced. This, with the direction given by Dr. Daniel Protheroe, one of the country’s ablest choral directors, should enable the club to give an excellent program at the annual Christmas concert, which is spou- sored by the Armour Tech Musical Clubs. Freshmen, and others, desiring to enroll in the Armour Tech Glee Club should come to the next re- hearsal 01’ that organization, to be held this Thursday, October 16, at 5:00 p. m. in the Assembly Hall. This is the last call for candidates this semester. Credit obtained from the Glee Club may be sub~ stituted for Gymnasium work. An accompanist is also needed and those who have had experience in this work should make applica- tion for the position at this Thurs- day’s rehearsal. 2930 CYCLE GIVEN HONOR RANIHNG FOR SECOND YEAR First Class Honor Rating was awarded to the 1930 edition of the “Cycle” by the National Scholastic Press Association, according to word from that organization re« solved by Arthur H. Jens, editor of this year’s "Cycle." The rating was made after the books had been carefully examined and graded on several different items. This makes two consecutive years of honors for the “Cycle” as the 1929 editon was given “All—Amer— ican" rating by the same organiza- tion. The present stafl? hopes to duplicate the recent success in the 1931 book. The National Scholastic Press Association rates year books, news~ papers, and magazines of colleges, and schools, all over the country and has done so for several years, the present system of unit-king,r hav- ing been adopted in 1924. All scho— lastic institutions that have their publications rated by the Press As— sociation are classified as to enroll- ment and in this way size is taken into consideration in the grading. The year books are graded un— der nine different headings, each department being considered sep- arately. A varying scale of points has been adopted giving each dew partmeht proper weight in arriving at the grade of the whole. The different include: the plan and theme of the book, the general handling of the department for administration and faculty officers, the layout and ap— pearance of the class photography, and of that of the organizations, the editing and make—up of the book in general, and mechanical considerations such as the cover, engraving, and printing. Sphinx to Recipe Tech Press flint A reorganization meeting of the Press Club is to be held today at 11:30 in the Assembly Hall. All students who are members of the staffs of the various publications are invited to attend. Others who desire to try out for stafl’ positions are offered this opportunity for making contact with the editors of and members of Armour publica- tions. The Press Club was instigated by Sphinx, honorary literary fratern- ity, on March 24, 1924. At that time it was found difficult to secure enough men from the student body to foster the student publications. It was also shown in a survey made by Sphinx that the staffs of the Cycle and Engineer were made up almost entirely of members of the Junior and Senior class. There was then, and there is still, to a large extent, a discontinuity of ef- fort from year to year in the ad- ministration of the publications, occasioned by the appointment of a new staff. "The Press Club was organized to provide a literary or journalistic society for the training of prospective staff members of the publications, which will give every interested student an opportunity to achieve through merit any staff position to which he may aspire.” The latter was taken from the or— ganization plan of the Press Club. Membership in the Press Club is to be limited to those students who are now or who intend to work. on the staffs of Armour publications. Student publications at Armour are the following: Armour Tech News, weekly publication; Armour Engi— neer, published quarterly; and the Cycle, annual publication and class book. items considered t Examinations for the re- moval of conditions incurred last semester start today, and end this Friday, October 1'7. Those taking the exams must report their intention of so doing at least one day before the schedule of the quiz. A complete list is on page three. Fire firm” Help/l Shutters Record Last Friday morning at 9:30 two fire marshals strolled into the Mn lice of G. S. Allison, Treasurer of the Institute and asked him to sound the alarm for a fire drill. the fire department wishes to in— spect one of our fire drills but this time the order came wholly with- out previous notice. In view of the fact that both students and faculty were unaware of what was to fol- low, the drill was exceedingly effi— cient. The record of one minute fifty—nine seconds for emptying all buildings established at the last drill was broken by exactly eleven seconds at the Friday morning turnout. President Raymond made the fol~ lowiiugr statement concerning the drill: “The fire drill was the best that I have witnessed in the more recent drills. The students and if?! ject of this performance and did not seem to consider it as lightly as in the past. It is most essential that everyone appreciate the value of our fire drill for in case 01‘ a real disaster it might mean the saving of many lives. Let us consider the fire drill with the utmost serious— noes.” Deon Palmer was in class at the time of the drill and was complete- ly taken by surprise. On the whole he was satisfied with the procedure. Dean Perm witnessed the entire proceeding. He thought that the drill was very efficient. It was carried out not only quietly but also with. despatch. He also added that the firemen were pleased with the manner in which the drill was con- ducted. Mr. G. 8. Allison declared, drill was A-i in all respects." Allison conducted the firemen through the building.

MEEWNG Mr. J. T. Hawley, Chief Electrical Engineer for the Sanitary District of Chicago will give a short talk on the electrical problems of the Sani— tary District, on Monday, October 20, at 10:30 in Room D of the Miss slon Building. This talk will be given under auspices of the Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. This will no doubt prove very interesting and will explain to some extent the mystery as to just what the Sani— what At one time the Sanitary District supplied the electrical power to the Department of Electricity of the City of Chicago for the street light— ing system. Due to the power re— quirements of the sewage treat- ment plants ordered to be built by the Federal Government, th‘m prac— tice has been discontinued. The electricity for the major portion of the street lighting system is now obtained on a long term contract with the Commonwealth Edison Co. The requirements of the Sanitary District are very rapidly approach— ing the maximum output of their plants and to ameliorate this con- dition plans are now under way for the rebuilding of the Lockport plant.
