In addi- tion to last year’s members, there was also a group of new men. After the newcomers had filled in program cards, the editor, W. H. Rudolf, spoke to the fellows in an introductory way. He gave them a brief insight into the work of the school weekly, explaininc that there was enjoyment to be derived from such outside activity in addition to the work involved. Professor Hendricks was intro- duced and spoke to the men about the necessary part the News plays in the school‘s life. He closed his talk by promising the staff a social gathering sometime in the near fu- ture, possibly at his home. The new men were divided into two groups, business and editorial, according to that part of the work in which they were interested, and general instructions as to the work in each department were given them by the heads of the different depart- ments. The new men departed at the close of the meeting with an as- signment to test their ability at newspaper reporting. Glee Club Meeting Shows Eig Turnout The first meeting: of the Glee Club this semester was held last Thursday at five o’clock in the As- sembly Hall under the direction of Dr. Daniel E. Protberoe. Forty-six men were signed up, sophomores and seniors in predominance. A large number of new men turned out and much promising material offered itself. Practice will begin at the next meeting. Dr. Daniel E. Protheroe has just returned from an interesting sum- mer abroad. Part of his time was spent in acting as guest conductor at a music festival at Wales, where he led a group of 1500 voices. Newspaper reports of his illness have been greatly e‘vaggerateu. Dr. Protheroe himself says that ne felt only a little pain, while the news— papers inferred that the illness was serious. After welcoming lhe old members back and greeting the new ones, he held tryouts for the new men and fifteen were successful. More men are expected to turn out for the next practice, which will be held Thursday, Oct. 8. The glee club will practice every Thursday afternoon throughout the semester in the assembly hall. Freshmen especially are urged. to join the organization. Senior Cirils’ Shoes Taken by Classmates Some would call it quite a feat, but others would merely say that it in— dicated a lowly trend of mind on the part of the senior Chile. Be that as it may, a group of Civils ambushed one of the r cfns'smares, Frank Hrom~ ada. on I-‘erleral St. last Friday and removed his shoes. It was only after a severe struggle that the victim ad— mitted defeat. The shoes were hid— den in “B” Mission room where the much abused, footloose youth appear— ed in class in his stocking feet. Here the shoes were recovered by Hromada who vowed that, “someone should pay for this!" Or perhaps he meant foot the bill. ‘ only broth Conduct Class Meeting Proceedings for their coming election were explained to the freshmen by Professor Heald, dean of students, at a class meeting held in the Assembly Hall Thursday, Oct. 1, at 10:30. He listed the various offices to be filled and appointed Robert V. Smith to act as chairman, and Howard J. Zihble as secretary. An election committee, consisting of representaives from each dc- partmcnt, was selected by the chair- man. Due to a postponement of the Freshman Handshake, the date for the completion of the nominating petitions was set for Thursday, Oct. 15. The petitions must be in the hands of Dean Heald before 4:00 P. M. Nominations by petition were in- augurated last year and all classes seem to favor this method as a marked improvement over the sys- tem used formerly. Joseph Stehno, brother of E. Stehno ’31 and one of the managers of the freshman baseball team, re- ported that the lineup for the first game was made up, and consisted of those atlending the practice ses- sion. All freshmen present were urged to come out and root for the team. Students Register for Evening Classes Registration for night school for the coming semester began last Fri- day night. Students can be enrolled at any time this week. On the first night of registration 385 men "war gnarl" “up"wl’fl'l‘l’ on the first night of last year there were 750. However these indications can not be taken as final for there is still the rest of this week for en- rollment. At the end of the week, last year the total number was 950, and, though there will probaby not be as many this year, it is quite cer- tain that the total will be consider- ably greater than the present num- bcr. “34" CLUB MEETS The “34” Club had a meeting in Science Hall last Friday morning to compose a ticket for the Sophomore election. Bob Cheatham was elected to run for president; Bert Peterson for secretary; Headen for social chairman, and G. A. Nelson for the Sophomore representative on the Athletic Board of Control. scanner HEADS grass or CYCLE; NEEDS MORE MEN Organization of the staff of the 1932 Cycle has been completed and .he work on the new annual is well under way.

Junior Chemical Engineer Has His Tmeeeh' Manic}; Removed At 10:30 last Thursday morning the hirsute attempt of one John H. Miller (known to his classmates as Honest John, Long John, John the Barber, etc.) was half removed. During the daily ball games, an outstanding feature of the Special Methods course last Summer, John was hit by a pitched ball on two occasions. The first time he was hit in the knee and nothing disastrous followed. But the second. time the indoor ball hit Mr. Miller it managed to land on his head, causing the dis- placement of one little kink in his massive brain. As a result of this he has hated to let the razor move over his upper lip. Hence the hence— ness. When school convened this fall, Honest John was seen with a bushy, bristling mustache, each hair of which was at least 0000000000195 mm. in length. The envy of his classmates increased in never ending crescendo. Finally they could stand the outrage no longer. . With grim determination they took him for a ride (iii the elevator of course) to the fiftli floor wash- room where Chief Latherer Booth and Chief. Shaver Wilson tools charge of the operation. Wilson, once a victim, took a huge delight in wielding the razor. Unfortunately while all this was taking place Miller seemed to regard the entire proceedings as a joke. But when the implement that has a use in improving the landscape condi» tions was produced, his face fell low- er than the stock market. And the lather in the hands of Doctor Booth was the last straw. John began a series of kickings and wrigglings that drew him the handsome reward of a mouthful of very select lather. At one time con- ditions grew so bad that many shouts of “Cut oti‘ his whole lip!” were heard. But the victim, finally realizing that his violent displacements of his mass, might easily result in ac— cidental homicide or, at the very least, disfigurement for life, sub- sided. Then after Wilson applied a few deft strikes with the razor, the “President" called for a motion of adjournment, it was seconded, and the fifty assembled members of the anti-mustache group silently filed out of the room. . P'ROGRAMS MUST BE IN In order that the Deans’ office may be able to locate students in an emergency, it is necessary that all program cards be turned in' immediately. Fresh Handshake Tomorrow Night Much exercise will be given the right arms of Armour chh’s most recent additions to the student body on next Wednesday night, October 7. This will occur at the Annual Freshman Handshake, to be held at 7:30 in the assembly hall, in Mis- sion building. The program, as usual, will be in charge of the Cam~ pus Club, assisted by various other organizations in the school. The program for the evening, will include a few numbers by the band, which is a new organization and en— tirely . parated from the orchestra. Also, there will be some songs and cheers, and several faculty mem- bers will give short speeches. Campus Club in Sponsored The Campus Club, which is spon— scrim: the Handshake, is a non-par- tisan body, and takes no part in school politics. The freshmen will be told about it by A. R. Vlel. Immediately after the program, the assembly will descend to the basement and partake of the tra» ditional cider and doughnuts, and a general “get tog-ether” will be had. The upperelassmen will be on hand to greet the freshmen and welcome them into the school life. The handshake provides an excel— lent opportunity for upper-classmen and the new students to get ac- mrglnted in an informal manner, and all freshmen and other new students should come. Morton Fagen Will Represent H. K. N. At a meeting held Monday, Sept. ember 29, in the chapter rooms Mor- ton Fagen, E. E., '32, was unanim- ously elected to represent the Ar- mour chapter of Eta Kappa Nu at the annual convention of that as- sociation to be held on October 30- 31 at Cornell University in Ithaca, N. Y.

About twenty of the old members were present and fifteen new men joined the group, all freshmen. Some of the orchestra actions which have been short of instruments have now been substantially reinforced with promising new material. No prac- tice was held at this time, the pur- pose of the meeting being: to Dream ire and to have the new members become acquainted. Band Rehearsal Friday At G. Bonvallet’s suggestion, a Band has been formed consisting of the wind instruments from the or— chestra. The first rehearsal was held on Friday afternoon with W. Hornbcrg‘er as leader. The need for a Band has long,r been apparent, especially for im- promptu functions where the whole orchestra cannot rehearse a program in limited time. The insufficiency of the number of men in the orches- tra has prevented the formulation of one. Even now additional mem‘ bers could be used and anyone who can play an instrument is urged ,to come to the rehearsals. The band is to make its first ap— pearance at the Freshman Hand- shake tomorrow night. Armour Architect is Awarded First Medal Ray Peterson, senior architect, was the winner of the first medal for design on the summer’s Beaux- Arts problem. The problem was “A Municipal Air Port for New Ydrk City." Five Armour students participated in the contest which was open to men from all ports of the United States. The fact that Peterson won the highest honors in the project is entirely in accord with the splendid record which has been established by Armour archi. tects in the past.
