ACTiVITlES PLANNED

 

 

Graduation at Armour not only
means rccciving~a document dcsig~
nating that four years of prescribed
work have been completed success-
fully, but it also means that it is
performed in fine style.

That is, there are announcements,
jewelry, photographs, caps and
gowns, and the senior jackets. Each
of these are taken care of for the
seniors through committees selected
by the president of the senior class.

The committees for the class of
’32 have been selected by W. H.
Rudolf and are as follows:

Announcement

J. R. Jackson, Jr., Chairman

G. L. Bonvalle’c

J. B. Dirkers

J. S. McCall

H. C. Rossing

Jewelry

E. A. Scanlan, Chairman

E. W. Carlton

W. H. Hornberger

W. A. Holland

G. W. Schodde

Photography

0. Eskonen, Chairman

0. G. Linnell

R. A. Peterson

M. J. Schinke

J. E. Walker
, Cap and. Gown
Wiltrakis, Chairman
Bryant
Carlson
Chun

F

Senior Jackets
T. A. McGill, Chairman
R. Long
J. Palma
L. G. Wilkie
V. R. Sandberg

0f the above, the senior jacket
committee will probably be the first
to function. This job is to select a
style or design for a jacket which is
worn by seniors prior to their grad-
nation.

 

Glee Club to Elect

 

Officers on Friday

 

in keeping with former years the
Glee Club presents at their two con-
certs of the year a program of new
selections in additions to a number of
old favorites. Last week practice
was begun on the first of the season’s
new numbers entitled, “The Song of
the Jolly Roger." The members also
sang an old number arranged by Dr.
Protheroe, named, “Passing By."

With a large number of men at-
tending r-ehearsals every Thursday,
the future of the Glee Club is very
promising. It is requested that the
members arrive for rehearsal promptv
ly at 5 P. M., so as to get in a full
hour of practice every week.

At the next meeting an election
of officers will take place. The ofl’i~
ces to be filled are, president, secre-
tary, and business manager. l

Electricals to Hear
Talk on Electronics

 

Mr. Ludwigson, representative of
the General Electric Company, will
be the speaker at the second meet»
ing of the Armour branch of the
A. I. E. E., to be held Friday, in
room D, Mission, at 10:30 o’clock.

The topic of his talk will be the
application of vacuum and thyra-
tron tubes, photo—electric equipment,
and other electronic devices. Such
apparatus is being used in ever~in<
creasing quantity in communication
and industrial projects.

E". W Farrier.

 

At an open meeting of the West-
ern Society of Engineers last Friday
at 10:80 in the Assembly Hall,
Clarence W. Farrier gave a very in-
teresting speech on “Engineering;
Aspects of the World’s Fair.” Dr.
Raymond introduced the speaker,
who graduated from Armour in
1916, and is new president of the
Chicago Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects and also As-
sistant Director of Works of the
Century of Progress.

Being thus closely acquainted with
the innermost preparations for the
Fair, Mr. Farrier was able to give
many interesting facts about the
coming Exposition. He said that
this was not going to be a “Fair" in
the sense that preceding ones were.
These were exaggerated trade fairs
dating back to the Middle Ages
when different municipalities called
a truce every year and met for trad-
ing purposes to dispose of their ex-
cess goods. The Sesqui-Centcnnial at
Philadelphia was one of this type
and was a financial failure. People
are too sophisticated today.

The purpose of the coming Fair
is to show the progress of scientific
research in its applications which
better the living conditions of peo-
pie. The major building will be the
Hall of Science, in which will be ox~
hibited the primary instruments of
science. For instance, Faraday’s ap-
paratus will be made familiar to cv-
erybody. The commercial exhibits
will attempt to continue this thread
and show how science is used in the
different manufactures.

Mr. Farrier said that when the
means of housing the exhibits was
co, :idcred. it .was. foundsadvisable,
to alter the type of buildings. The
style of architecture being used was
not intended to be futuristic but
was chosen by the dictates of econ-
omy. The modern office build-
ings on Michigan Avenue run any-
where from 75 to 93 cents a cubic
foot but the Fair could not afford

The old order changcth and giv-
eth place to the new. Customs vary
and thrones totter but still Armour
men held to an old tradition. We re—
fer to that of “giving an apple to

For example, last Friday Profes-
sor Nash was honored by his seniorI
civils. Reposing on his desk lay two
(2) green apples accompanied by
a note “to our dere techer."

Professor Nash examined the gift
and then exhibited it to the class
with the smiling remark “thank
goodness they aren’t lemons.”

 

H. Bodinson Chooses

Social Committee

 

The men who will be in charge of
Junior social affairs have been ap-
pointed by Harold W. Bodinson,
Social Chairman. As yet nothing is
in the offing excepting the Junior
Informal which will necessarily be
after Christmas because the Senior
Informal always comes first by tra-
dition.

The committee is conipcsed of the
following men:

Harold W. Bodinson, Chairman.

Arthur W. Oberbeck

Bflaise A. Guettler

Thomas D. Luckett

William W. Lange

Jack R. Pechman

 

PROFESSOR BHBB STILL SICK

Professor Bibb of the mathemat—
ics department, who has been air
sent from school since the begin-
ning of the semester due to illness,
is not expected to return for several l
weeks.

Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois

Sdflidlllflkh MASS

L. Lynch was chosen to head the
sophomore class at an election held
Friday in Science Hall. He received
77 votes, defeating It. Choatham
and J. Bachner, who had 50 and 40
votes respectively.

The offices of vice—president and
sei'geant-at-arms were uncontested.
Due to the difficulty of obtaining
petitions with 25 names, there was

 

 

just one candidate for each of those
positions. L. Rummel is vice—pl'esb
dent and E. Avery sergeant-at-arms.

L. Callen, last year’s social chair-
man, was elected secretary with a
total of 85 votes. J. Scheyer, his
opponent, received 80.

The race for treasurer was not so
close. E. Peterson won with 90
votes. J. (‘astanes received 51 and
C. Zukowski, 29.

The social chairman of the sopho-
more class is F. Headen, who re-
ceived 70 votes; R. Ekroth received
59, and R. Sullivan 40.

The election committee under the
leadership of F. Koko, C. E. funca
tioned very efficiently. It was com-
posed of the following men:

D. Jacobson, F. P. E.

.. Alba, C. E.
L. Streb, C. E.
S. Lillis, Ch. E.
G. Nelson, Arch.
G. Graham, E. E.

Curious Canine
Enlivens History

 

Professor Scherger was rambling
away on the characteristics of the
‘ ‘ ’ ani... 2. . ‘ " ' ‘ '

... .. ,,
Science Hall before a group of in--
terested freshmen when dowu the
main isle of the room there came
what might have been a live specimen
of a fossil. If it wasn't a fossil, it
should have been, for its ragged cars,
low-slung body, stubby tail, and grey
coat, did not seem to permit its being
classed with modern dogs.

This poor representative of the
animal kingdom shuffled its curious
body across the elevation in front of
the room to a position before the pro-
fessor, while this learned gentleman
continued to expound on the oddities
ot‘ the archacoptery. This timely
illustration of the lecture probably
enabled the freshmen to more clear—
ly picture what walked across this
earth millions of years ago. May its
memory last forever.

Humboldt Park Squad
Meets Tech Shooters

Shooting at 50 and 100 yards over
an outdoor course, the Armour Tech
rifle team met Humboldt Park last
Sunday at Fort Sheridan. The match
determined the possession of the Lov-
ing Cup contested by the two teams.
At the time of this writing, the out-
come of the match was unknown, but
Armour was shooting with a lead of
66 points gained by two previous in-
door matches.

Since the team had not yet been
announced, it was decided to have
every one who wished go to Fort
Sheridan. Those who did the best
work during the sighting of the guns
were used on the team. The five high
sores ofsevcn men were counted.

In preparation for a match against
the Fairport Rifle Club of Perry,
Ohio, the men are practicing indoors.
This match will be shot during the
week ending October 24. A challenge
from the Jefferson City Rifle Club of
Jefferson City, Missouri has been so
captod for November 9. The team!
for this shoot will be composed of ten \
men. The contract with Jefiersong
City calls for five shots in prone,
standing, istting, and kneeling posi-
tions.

The rifle range has been enlarged
by tearing out some old partitions].
and a railing is to be erected so that l
several men can stand near the back~ x
stops to sight the shots for the petu
son who is firing. l

 

 

 

 

 

Eugenie Hots Find
Favor on Campus

During the past few months the
popularity of Princess Eugenie hats
has gained in leaps and bounds.
Many of the leading universities in
the country have replaced the reg-

ulation freshman skull caps with
beautcous Eugenics adorned with

long sweeping feathers of various
colors. Not to be outdone, certain
loyal and enterprising students have
brought this question up at Armour.

Here is what some students picked
at random, have to say about the
idea:

F. Koko, C. E., ’34: I'm in favor
of the idea. As it is now there is
nothing to distinguish the first year
students from the rest of the stu-
dent body. it would seem more like
a large university by adopting this
idea.

Warren Burkhart, ’34, Ch. 13.:
“Not being a freshman, I naturally
think this an excellent idea. I sug-
ges’r. immediate action.”

E. L. Lundin, ’34, E. E.: “A very
good idea.”

Fred Meyer, ’35, C. E.: “If I were
a senior I would compel all fresl'o
men to wear green Eugenie hats. If
at any time they appeared without
them, I would give them a paddling,
but, as I am not a senior, well that’s
another story.”

Glenn Graham, E. E., ’34:
genie hats would be very advisable
for freshmen because
that they would distinguish them

from the rest of the school beyond

just their ordinary looks.
hn Bachner, Ch

‘ . . -.-1 ‘
‘ Nomi: nuts-m;

   

‘ vb
would enhance the Institute’s cam~

pus very much by adding college
spirit. it. would enable the freshmen

to become better acquainted with

the upperclassmen.

Professor Krothwohl
Moth Representative

Professor Krathwohl, head of the
mathematics department, has been
appointed official representative of
Armour Institute to the Men’s Math—
ematics Club, by E. C. Hinkle. Mr.
l-linkle is president of. the club and

vice—president of the Board of Ex-

aminers for public schools.

This club meets monthly at a ban»
quot in a loop hotel. In addition to
men from all of the high schools
within a. fifty mile radius of Chicago,
there are representatives of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, Northwestern
University and Armour Institute.
Contacts are thus established between
high school mathematic courses and
those given in colleges. Discussion
on important subjects feature the
meetings.

CANDEDATES LlSTED

 

 

The freshman election this year
will be accomplished by aid of the
petition system which was inaugur—
ated two years ago and which all
classes following have used.

Because the sophomore election
was held on Friday, October 16, the
date of the frosh election has been
changed to Wednesday, October 22.
Balloting will take place in Science
hall between the hours of 9:00 A.
M. and 3:00 P. M. Several fresh-
men, who are not candidates for of-
fice, will be chosen by the petition
committee to take charge the
proceedings.

The balloting is expected to be
very close, and in all probabilifiy
these who finally gain office will do
so by a small margin of votes. All
of the candidates are active in school
affairs, and are popular with thnir
fellow classmates.

The offices of secretary, tr: r~
er, and sergeant-at-arms will he un~
contested. Bernard Abrams, Arthrr
Skjordahl, and Ray Albans were the
only ones to turn in petitions for
the respective offices. Each of the
following freshmen have turned in
petitions bearing the signatures of
twenty-five or more classmates:
