STAUNCH FOLDOWERS of gov»
crnmcntal activities could ask for no
better an example of constitutional
revision than that exhibited recently
in the repeal of the eighteenth amend-
ment. A precise machine in its cn«
tirety, federal procedure took the
matter from its initial introduction
into Congress and submitted it for
the consent of the public without so
much as an incident flaw.

RESPONSIBLE [or
the rapidity with which the question
was settled, was the splendid co-
operation extended by the individual
states. As was the federal admin.
’ tration, so were the state admin~
ations intent upon deciding the
e. However, now that the decision
stands, state regulation becomes the
next step toward completeness of the
matter.

LARGELY

   

. an

POPULAR DEMAND necessitates
some form of liquor legislation on the
statute books. Hence, for the next
few months, one might note with in~
tcrcst the various forms of state leg—
islation throughout the union. Legis-
lation will be intended in every case
to provide revenue for the state and
local governments. On the other
hand, however, it should best be rc~
member-ed that heavy taxes are bound
to invite evasion of the law, or in
other words, bootlegging and racket
coring.

BASED on the assertion of the
two political parties that the open
saloon shall not return, the assembly
of the State of Illinois, meeting at
present in an extra session, is forced
to cope with an additional problem-w
a social problem. In the words of [he
congressmen, to eject the bar is
equivalent to abolihhing the haloon.
At least that’s a point due for con.
sidcrablc argument.

FEATURED IN THE Bil. [.5 sub.-
mitted 1111‘ legislation 11.10 the lollowv
ingr objectives:

The promotion of temperance. the
prevention of the evils associated
with the liquor traffic, the vesting of
a large measure of home rule in 11111—
nicipal or local governments, and cm
forcement in accordance with the
opinions and desires of a “majority of
the people. A state liquor commie.

BEGHN MEASUREMENTS

At a senior class meeting held
a week ago last Friday, thee sam-
ple jackets were selected of the
group presented. It was suggested
that those representatives present a.
sealed bid to a jacket committee.
To this committee, composed of
Steve Lillis, chairman; Arthur
Cohrs, James Castancs, Glenn Gla-
ham, George Mayer, Carl Sachs, and
Chester Zukowski, were presented
two bids last Friday. After a careful
consideration of the appearance and
material of the jackets presented
were taken into account, the bid
presented by the Supreme Merchant
Tailms (211., represented by Jack
Dobson, was chosen by the com-
mittec.

Design Is Selected

The jacket is made on tho order
of a cutaway coat style. It is black
and trimmed with gold felt around
the collar and front of the jacket.
The pocket will contain the initials
A. I. T. in gold chenille on 11 red
l'elt background. These letters are
two inches in height. The sleeves will
have u rcd lclt stripe near the lower
pant, above which will be placed the

numerals ‘Ill in gold chenille on
red i'clL
Ono pui'iicular Nature of this

scnior jacked is that it will contain
:1 plu in \vhi“h an onuiIu-.-1“s most,
.‘ instrument can be carried.
lnHKIO pocket will serve lhc
purposc.

Sophmnore Class
Proposes Jackets

Prohibition, it would seem, has
l’ecn repealed and things are brew~
ing- everywhere. The sophomore
class has ideas, big ideas, almost
revolutionary ideas. ln the past it.
has been the custom for the seniors
only to have jackets. The. sopho-
mores are becoming practical and
are defying all precedents at Ar-
mour by planning to have their
jackets during th(l sophomore your.
They seem to figure that if they are
to have the jackets at all that they
may as well have a chance to wear
them. A committee con.- tingx of a
member from each department to
work on the idea has been picked.
It consists of G. Zwisslcr, chairman;
W. Alt, ll. Cordes, W. Flcig, J.
Kahlcs, R. Kcrchcr, and (l. Quandee.

A committee has also been up
pointed to cooperate with senior and
junior committees in an effort to
standardize the type of jewelry for
the graduating students. Joe Bacci,
senior jewelry chairman, explained
the idea to the class and it met with
almost unanimous approval. The
committee selected by the president
will he composed of D. llowcll, R.
Johnson, and V. Kropf.

The class was overzealous in the
last clcctiLn. They exceeded their
authority by electing an A. T. A. A.

lBlDS rvsiifiiormas

Concluding- thcir search for 11 suit-
able location for their dance, the
scriiors have secured the Gold Room
of the Congress Hotel for December
8. The Congress has been chosen
because of the spacious balcony
which sun-minds the dance floor, the
comfortable lounges on either side
and in the front and also because
of its effective lighting. The dance,
which is to be a cabaret dance, will
continue ‘l'rom nine until one o‘clock.

Orchestra Is Popular

The harmony for this occasion
will be supplied by George Devron
and his orchestra. This popular
bandmaster has played in the past
at several of the larger hotels. For
the last. two l'all-wintci seasons he
played at the Stevens Hotel. During
the past summer he has been engag—
ed at the Drake in the absence of
Clyde McCoy. For four seasons be-
low coming to the Stevens, Devron
played at the Goll’moro Hotel in El-
loxi and previous to this he had
been at the Grand, 11 popular rcsort
on Mackinac Island.

The chapeioncs at the dance will
be Dc 111 and M15 lIcald, Professor
and Mia. Ensz, I’I‘ofcssoi and Mrs.
Swinolord, and Professor and Mrs.
Winston. To add to the success of
tho Mr. Erickson has post-
poned the trip of the Armour Tech

they were to have presented a con-
cclt on llocei‘rlbcr 8.
