Elect Sademan Head of Sophomore mass Elmer Sademan was elected pres- ident of the Sophomore Class at a special election held last Friday, October 24th, in Science Hall. This was the first time that an election has had to be held because of a tie for a major office since the present system of electing officers has been in effect. Neither R. 0. Beliord nor E. Sademan received a majority of the votes cast at the regular general election. The Soph— omores showed their interest in this contest by turning out en masse to vote. Sademan was elected by a small margin, consid- ering the large percentage of the class that voted. Sademan, a track man, was also a candidate for of— fice last year. F.

Meeting Tuesday, Oct. 21, Mr. C. I. Morse, former chief engineer of the Rock Island railway, spoke at the first meeting of the W. S. E. this semes— ter. It not being a business meet— ing, all freshmen and sophomore civils were present. Mr. Morse gave an interesting talk on his experi— ences as a railroad engineer. “To become successful as an en- gineer a man must place engineer— ing achievement ahead of money,” said Mr. Morse. “He should have character, judgment, industry, per~ sistency of efiort, education, and executive ability. A man’s success in life is something which is up to himself. Every man, at some time or other, receives an opportunity and it is up to him to make the most of it.” Although Mr. Morse worked for the first fifteen years of his career on railroad location, perhaps one of the hardest jobs in civil engineer— ing from a physical standpoint, he said he never worked a day in his life. It was all play. The W. S. E. looks forward to another successful semester and requests members to attend meet- ings when possible. The American Society of Me— chanical Engineers held a meeting, Monday, October 27th, in Science Hall. A member of the Chicago Daily News addressed the group on the mechanical features of news~ paper printing. issued 1n next ,32 Beaker will be given this year to Franklin W.

The first recipient of this membership was Jack Cavanaugh, A meeting of Flask and Beaker was held last Wednesday, October 26. Various committees were ap— pointed in addition to mapping out the program of activities for the coming semester. A. H. Carpenter Speaks Before Chemical Group The regular monthly meeting of the American Chemical Society was held at the City Club last Fri- day, October 24th, at '7 :30 p. m. The meeting was preceded by a dinner. lVlr. Waldemar Kaempflert, di— rector of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago addressed the group. His subject was “Trac— ing the Technical Ascent of Man,” which he illustrated with moving pictures. Later in the evening, the Physio» Chemical group was addressed by Professor A. H. Carpenter, profes— sor of Metallurgy at Armour Insti- tute, on the “Lead Coating of Pipes and Corrosion." His talk was based on his experiments with lead- coating pipes, and on his experi— ence as a consulting chemist. His talk was illustrated by slides. NOTHCE Students interested in a class in Physics II to be given in the Evening Classes are re~ quested to leave their names in the Deans’ Office at once. No plans for this class will be made unless sufficient appli— cations are received before November 3rd. Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois Allil’lfiilll Wfillllllik Willi; AWARDS Al“ Edith. Mfilillbifi Louise Attends flora-arena tion at University of Colorado At the convention of the En— gineering College Magazine Asso- ciated, held at Boulder, 0010., the Armour Engineer carried off a size— able share of the prizes that were awarded. The prizes received were: First prize for the best all— around editorials throughout the publication year; Second prize for the best single editorial in any of the magazines; and third prize for the best covers. In addition to these prizes, the Armour Engineer received three honorable mentions for its other features. All told the Engineer is one of the best maga— zines in its field as is shown by the large number of prizes and honor— able mentions awarded it. A. J. Lenke, editor of the Engin— eer, was our delegate to the con— vention in Boulder, the home of the University of Colorado. The convention extended over three days, October 16, 17 and 18. For the first two days the delegates were busy comparing and criticizing the various publications of the associa— tion. In addition to this, means of improving the magazines were also discussed. The third day was spent in sight- seeing through the surrounding country. Colorado, and particular— ly the region about Boulder, is fam— ous for its mountain scenery. The campus of the University of Colo- rado is ideally situated to take ad- vantage of its scenic background. Delegates to the convention were eloquent in their praise of the site chosen for the gathering. PICK VAN OSDGL T0 HEAD A. it. A”: QNV TO OPERA TE At the first meeting of the Ar- mour Radio Association held last Friday, October 24, in the Physics Lecture Room the following officers were elected: President ...... R. L. Van Osdol, ’31 Vice President. .W. A. Schnader, ’31 Sec-Treasurer ....... M. Fagen, ’32 Chief Operator. . .E. G. Squires, ’31 It was announced at the meeting by M. Fagen that the radio station QNV, which is located in Chapin Hall and which is under supervis— ion of the A. R. A. will soon be in operating shape and may be only used by “hams” belonging to the home organization. Those who already are licensed radio amateurs and also those who are interested in radio are invited to join the Armour Radio Associa— tion. Club members will assist any who wish to become operators. The time and place of the next meeting will be announced later. Dues are one dollar a year. Professor Wilcox, faculty adviser, closed the meeting with a few words about the origin of the As- sociation. He said that when the Wieboldt Stores donated to Armour a broadcasting unit, it was neces— sary to have a staff for its opera— tion. The organization of a club solved the problem. Last year, because of several rob~ beries, the club was deprived of its station, but this year a stout lock has been purchased, to foil the vandals. ‘ Talks by men prominent in the radio engineering field are planned to provide interesting gatherings in the future. Subscriptions to the News are now seventy—five cents in accord— ance with our policy that after ‘ one—third of the issues are released, the price may be reduced. They ' can be secured at the News desk in ‘ the main building. CAMPUS CLUB HAS RECORD TURNUUT All" LAST SMOKER “The most successful ever," was the verdict returned by the Armour Tech Campus Club in regard to their smoker held last Thursday, October 23, in their Chapin Hall rooms. 0f the fifty men present, twenty were alumni members, most of them being from the classes of ’29 and ’30. Professor Mangold was on hand to meet many of his former and present pupils. The earlier part of the evening was spent in playing bridge and pinochle, with plenty of smokes. Eight new members were officially welcomed into the club, under the direction of George Moore, F.P.E., ’31, master of ceremonies. Many a line of famous poetry was drawn from them. The following new men received membership cards: Ray Knudsen, E.E., ’32. Orville J. Spawn, Ch.E., ’32. K. 1G. Kellner, Elsi, ’31. K. A. Knittle, E.E., ’31. George W. Burhop, Ch.E., ’33. Max Berger, 011.121., ’32. Carl A. Erickson, C.E., ’32. Carl Rupprccht, M.E., '33. About 9215 the sandwiches, root beer, and ginger ale were passed out by those who were experiencing their first Campus Club smoker. After another hour of cards and chatting, the men began to leave for home. It was realized by the active members that such a meeting pro- moted real friendship between alu— mni and students, and in this man: ner provided a connection between the graduates and their alma _ mater. W. S. E. to Hotel Smoker [At 5. it... ll). House Nov. 5 A smoker, to be given by the Ar- mour Student Branch of the West— ern Society of Engineers at the Sigma Kappa Delta house on No- vember 5, promises to be the best ever given by the W. S. E. A good time is assured all who attend, since this is the aim upon which the officers are working. Sophomores and freshmen are particularly welcome as it fur— nishes them with an opportunity to become acquainted with other members of their department. It is not necessary to be a member of the student branch to attend. Tickets may be purchased from the officers and some of the members.

The men chosen were singular in their abilities and succeses at Ar— mour. The following men were chosen: Harmon S. Holt. Paul H. Kcsselring. Frank M. James. Frank W. Spalding. Walter M. Trauten. bin}: Delegate to Honorary éComiention Charles Link, ’31, M.E., attended a two-day convention of Pi Tau Sigma, National Honorary Mechan— ical Engineering Fraternity, Octo— ber 24 and 25, at State College, Pa. He is president of the Delta chap— ter at Armour. Each year the convention takes place at a. different chapter of the ten that constitute Pi Tau Sigma. This year the Zeta chapter of Penn State college was the meeting place of the delegates. Brother Martinis, supreme secre- tary of the fraternity, and Profes— sor at the University of Minnesota, visited the Armour chapter on his way to State College, thus affording Link companionship on the way down. A. I. ClaE. Establishes Monthly Meetings A regular meeting date for the Armour Branch of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has been set for the second Tues— day of each month. Professor McCormack of the chemical engineering department has made these arrangements so that all sophomore, junior and senor students in the chemical en— gineering department can attend the meetings. Fred Attwood, president of the Armour Branch, is arranging for the speakers on these dates. The first speaker at the meeting on November 11, will probably be Dr. Bartow of the University of Iowa. He is the chairman of the commit- tee which deals with student chap— ters of the A. I. Chis. New Ruling Attracts All M. E. Students The office of the Dean has issued a new ruling applicable to all men in the department of Mechanical Engineering relative to taking courses without the proper pre- requisites. The ruling is as follows: “Your attention is called to the ruling that beginning the nex school year (September, 1931) a student may not register in any subject in the Mechanical Engi— neering Department unless he has completed the prerequisites for that course as stated in the Gen— eral Information Bulletin. This ap— plies particularly to the taking of Experimental Engineering of the Senior Year (ME. 18 and ME. 21) before the completion of Experi— mental Engineering of the Junior Year (ME. 16 and ME. 17).” Dr. George Scherger spoke last Saturday at a luncheon given by the German Club of Chicago. He addressed the members on the coming World’s Fair of 1933. describing to them the wonderful advantages that will be Chicago’s because of the many renowned vis~ ltors and authorities. Dr. Scherger pointed out. to the club the part they could play in bringing about the successful real— ization of this dream.

Robin Chi Epsilon Granted Needed Headquarters Chi Epsilon. honorary civil engi- neering fraternity, has recently been granted two rooms for a headquarters. They are the two front rooms located on the first floor of Chopin Hall at 3333 Federal street. The rooms will be used for meetings of the fraternity, and also as a local headquarters for the student branch of the Western So“ ciety of Engineers. Efforts have been made to secure quartrs for Chi Epsilon ever since the fraternity was formed in 1923. It was finally granted two of a number of rooms in Chopin Hall, which, however, were recently turned over for the use of the In- stitute. The fraternity is grateful for the co—operation given by Dean Penn, Mr. Allison and Professor Phillips, head of the civil engineer— ing departments in securing new rooms. chi Epsilon has six mem— bers, with E.
