, F',,,_‘rua‘ny;24._ 19331,: I 51— Alix Needs—1:! We’ve heard of Kipling’s immor- tal “Boots," and of our old song, “Hail—Hail,” but we really think they should write one for the architects. Our suggestion for a title would be “Mumps." And then if someone would become inquisitive enough to ask the reason, we would disclose the fact that three of the striving pencil—pushers had the mumps within two weeks. The vic— tims were Vaughan, Bartlett and Shonka. We wonder who is next? Well, if you can’t find the “Arx News" next week you’ll know what happened. new The Sophomore Archs have been studying a sketch problem which was a little theatre for a small dra- matic group. It was something quite new and foreign to our past subjects, so Professor Read suc- ceeded in getting permission to go through the Kenneth Sawyer Goodman Art Theatre in the Art Institute. The trip proved to be of great help in designing the problem. Instead of having scene shifters and such, the students there, build the scenery upon small moving platforms which run on tracks. They have one for each scene. Thus scene changing is quick, sim~ pie, and decidedly effective. This is just one of the many novlel ideas. as»: In the Tribune of February 8, in the rotogravure section, were pic— tures depicting the present day styles in architecture. If you can get hold of that section, you archi- . tects, get busy with your little shears and put those pictures in your scrapbook. Thomas E. Tallmadge, a member of the American Institute of Archi— tects, says: “The skyscraper built on a skele— ton frame, invented and developed in Chicago about eighteen hundred and eighty—five, is America’s great contribution to architecture and the- seienceweof«~buildingrw-l5lressing toward the goal of efficiency, the architect has discovered unguessed beauties in stark engineering, and in the utilization of new materials, such as new metals and structural glass.” Basketball Season Ends With Victory (Continued from Page One) setting a fitting climax to the basketball season. Score Tied Again Chicago Tech again knotted. the score but soon lost the lead when Omiecinski sank a basket from mid floor. Another basket by Omiecin~ ski, together with baskets by Beesterboer and Ott, helped to swell Armour’s lead rapidly until the final 33—26 result was estab- lished. BOX SCORE Armour-v33 B. Ft. P.

H. W. Richter, E. E, Tim—«The type and intensity of illumination in the E. E. Lab is a great improve— ment. I think that it would be a good idea to install some such sys— tem in the library. It. J. Abramson, E. 115., ’31.—-I be— lieve that the new lighting system in the labs and the proposed light— ing system of the Electric Lecture room will be a great aid to the students as it will lessen eye strain. I hope that in the near future the entire building will be so lighted. B. W. Job, E. 13., ”law—It is a very great improvement over the former system and I find it much more pleasant to work in the lab now. We will study electric lighting in a short time and will then appreci— ate it more fully. Milton L. Priban, E. iii" ’33.—-I think that the new system is a great improvement over the old. Experiments can be performed more efficiently, and the laboratory can be used as a study room. Charles manna, E. 13., ’3l.——The new system is something that has been needed in the lab for a long time. Now it is possible to work there with greater efficiency. It will be fine when the new lights are installed in the Electrical Lec- ture room. W. Sandstrom, E. E., ‘32.——It is a very noticeable addition to the lighting system as it was almost impossible to work in the lab under previous conditions. NE W BOOKS NON-TECHNICAL Peguin Island Anatole France Arrowsmith Sinclair Lewis TECHNICAL ., Principlessat..9bemi a1 injuries Force Pugs 'l‘o Cancel Two Bouts: Injuries to four of Coach Weis~ man’s leather pusher-s, leaving a balance of only six eligible fighters, necessitated the cancellation of two out of town engagements, in which the squad was slated to ap— pear. The meets were to have been held at Springfield and Blooming ton, Ill. Negotiations had been completed for the appearance of the Armour Tech pugs, but as the expenses of the Tech squad were to have been paid entirely out of gate receipts, it was deemed justifiable, in as much as injuries had cut down the active roster of the team, to cancel the dates. Never in the history of the Armour Tech boxing team have injuries exacted such a toll, and interferred so seriously with its progress. In spite of all these bad twists of fate, an agreement has been reached between Manager Cannon and the athletic representative at Loyola University to hold a series of bouts, one at each school, in the very near future. Loyola is noted for the high caliber of their ath— letic squads and the boxing team is probably no exception. On this basis, the appearance of these two aggregations in the same ring should provide some lively action. Manager Cannon is dickering with other athletic organizations in the city in an efllort to arrange a card in the Tech ring.

Smith Plan School; Wide Boxing Tournament Inquiry among the various en- trants in the Armour Tech boxing tournament has revealed that all of the contestants at some time or other engaged in fistic encounters, both in the ring and otherwise, which all goes to indicate that heated strife will characterize the bouts. Although the entry at present is not large, talks among the stu— dents, which result in dares and arguments, will probably induce more to enter. This is the first school-wide tournament held at Armour. There is no reason why there cannot be ample representation in every weight, especially in an institution which has over 800 men students. Those who contemplate entering should do so immediately so as to speed up the arrangements for the actual fights. Every man, regardless of the amount of experience he has had, should take advantage of this op— portunity to gain some useful knowledge and self—confidence. adera, Cal, has approved the mester were discussed. establishment of a municipal air~ port. ‘ 7‘: 1931, Lxccs'rr & MYERS Tomaso MllDER...ANo bEll‘Eil lASl’E Co. - l I \ ,s all Where will the two slanting lines meet it the shorter one is continued?
