Tuesday, October 6, I934 FIRST MEETING OF MECHANICALS WELL ATTENDED The first semester’s meeting of the A. S. M. E. was held last Fri- day at 10:30 A. M. in “D” Mission and was characterized by a rather unusually large attendance. Professor Pecbles gave the open- ing talk, the text of which was based on the hypothetical progress of an Armour graduate. He traced the course of a man who starts in the drafting room and gradually works his way up through the shop and sales divisions until he attains, that degree of advancement which his ability warrants. Warning was given lest the en— gineer become too technical to un- derstand other phases of the field which are equally important. This type of attitude is highly detrimen- tal to successful engineering prac- tice, because the engineer must rec- ognize the value of the non—tech: nical elements of his life’s work when he encounters them and deal. with thorn in an intelligent fashion. Lack of active participation in A. S. M. E. meetings by most of the members was the accusation of Pro- fessor Roesch, who rated the effort expended by the average member at sixty per cent of what it might be under ideal conditions. This year’s officers were elected at the last meeting of the last semes- ter and are as follows: President—Harold Davis. Vice—President—«Newtou Cannon. Secretary—Alexander Bogot. Treasurer——James McCall. Attention of the members was called to the fact that the Engin- eering News is available to the students at two dollars and fifty cents for a year's subscription. The meeting adjourned after membership registration cards had been passed out to all those present.

Donald G. Wilson told the new recruits the regulations and rules, and Allen Helmick, the Act— ting Secretary described the various activities of the club. Several new men joined the club immediately, among them being E. Lomasney, J. Pesek, J. Balsewick, and J. Fernback. Those who wish to join may do so at any time by paying the dues for the first semes- tel‘ to Allen Helmick. The range in the basement of Chapin Hall, third entrance, is always open to visitors, so that anyone who was unable to attend the meeting will be able to get acquainted. The Rifle Club supplies the mem- bers with long rifle cartridges at the cost of 30 cents a box, giving the club a profit of five cents on each box which is spent for targets, and if possible, for cartridges for the team matches. Members are ex— pected to keep the range clean as well as to clean the club gun after they finish using it. Pistol shooting with guns of .38 calibre or less will be permitted during hours when the noise will not conflict with classes being held in Chapin Hall. For those members who do not know all of the principles of target shooting, classes of instruction will be held after school. Able instructors will be available since last year’s State Championship Team will be present. Last year twenty-seven matches were fired by the team, of which only four were lost. This year a similar program is being planned by the manager. Most of the matches will he telegraph matches, but whenever possible, shoulder to shoulder matches with teams in and about Chicago will be scheduled. Among these shoulder to shoulder meets will be the matches for the cup which is being contested for by the Armour Tech Rifle Team and the Humboldt Park Gun Club. This trophy is now in possession of the home team, but it will not become a permanent fixture until it has been won for three years in succession. The next meeting of the Rifle Club will be held at the range. ing for the Rock Island Railroad. SIGMA KAPPA DELTA We take pleasure in announcing the initiation of George M. Reed, ’34, E.
