Tuesday, November 28, l933 Architect’s Dance Hegel Last Friday Over sixty couples were the delighted participants in the Archi~ tects’ “Thanksgiving Charctte," or Arx ball, held last Friday evening under the sponsorship of the junior architects. The site was the Co~ lanial Room 'of the Steuben Club, and the music was furnished by the popular orchestra from the South side, Wilson—Burnett’s, which is coached by ’llal Kemp. All that could be desired in the way of a spacious and luxurious place to hold a dance was found in the Colonial Room, which covers the entire twenty-second floor of the Steuben Club at 188 W. Randolph Street. The room was well decorated, and was provided with ample. loung— ing facilities, so that those who de- sired to sit out a dance could do so. Since everyone who attended was well acquainted with everyone else, quite a friendly spirit, ' among the couples and the chap. crones. The bids, which were in blue, were handled by a single representative from each class, who then took charge of the sale to his own class- mates. The price of the bids was un— usually low, $1.25, and the surpris- ing thing is that punch was served at the dance, in spite of the low cost of the bids. Miss Marion Rawls, Mrs. Nancy Saunders, and Professors C. G. Blough, W. F. McCaughey, Sholto Spears, Lindsay Slater, and their wives were the chaperoncs included in the attendance. The selection of the location for the dance and of the orchestra was made by a com- mittee composed of the following junior architects: L. W. Davidson, It. Esbcnscn, S. Granger, R. Sam» uels, and W. ll. Sobcl. Esbcnaen and Sobel, however, had actual charge of all of the other arrange— ments, and it is to them that most of the credit for the success of the dance goes. Carpenter Discusses Amateur Astronomy Progress of amateur astronomy in the United States is related by Pro- fessor A. H. Carpenter of the Ar— mour faculty in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor. Pro» fessor Carpenter who is president of the Chicago Amateur Telescope Makers is in a position to be well informed on the subject. Although classlng himself as an amateur, he made the reflector which was used by the Elgin Observatory to bring the light from Arcturus to illuminc A Century of Progress. In the article he tells of the forum ation of active organizations in many of the larger cities and. the recognition afforded amateur as- tronomers by professionals. The space in the Adler Planetarium which was devoted to a display of telescopes and reflectors by ama- teurs during the world’s fair has been turned over to the Chicago organization composed of seventy- five members. Experimentation with the use of metals other than silver in reflect- ors is being done extensively by amateurs. Aluminum seems to show the most promise of possibility but gold, chromium, tin, bismuth and copper are also being tried. Armour Musical Club Postpones Concert The concert by the Armour Tech Musical clubs, which was to be giv— en at the Kankakee High School, on December 8, has been postponed to Friday, December 15, because many of the men wanted to attend the Senior Prom, which is to be held on December. 8. This performance will be the first out of town performance by the ’Musical Clubs this season and is an- ticipated by all the men because of the splendid afternoon which has been arranged for them by the Alumni Association of the Kanka- kee High School, under whose au- spices the concert is being given. The men will enjoy a sightseeing tour of the city and in the evening will attend a banquet and dance. They will leave the school around 1 o’clock in two basses which have been chartered for the occasion. Discuss Advisory Groups” Purpose (Continued from page 1) This does not mean that import- ancc will be attached to nothing but what is strictly relevant to engineer" ing, but on the contrary, by taking may account the tact that, in gen~ oral, a man gets his interests from his own activity, the non—engineer- ing courses will attract a great deal more of the student’s interests. Teaching Affected Elightly The teaching methods in these courses will be by no means revolu— tionized, but will be afl‘ected in small ways. For instance, in economics, there is no need to use examples of economic principles applied to agri— culture whcn engineering may be substituted without losing the basic and. Such changes, it is hoped, will bring the student to feel the ink portance of the non-technical sub~ jects.

Miller Speaks l to REES. flroup ”a-.. 1 At the last meeting of the F. 1’. 8., held Friday morning, Mr. Miller, manager of the 11- linois Audit Bureau, gave a talk on the procedure l'ollowed in check- ing lire insurance policies and the importance which each employee ol the bureau played in its operation. lie stated in his talk that three copies of each fire insurance policy are made, one going to the poison taking out the policy, one being sent to the company carrying the insurance, and one being kept on file by the agent. The copy sent to the company is called a daily re- port and. is first sent to the audit bureau for checking. Since there are many policies written each day, a goodly number of daily repoxts have to be checked. Reports Checked by Examiner Tho dailies are taken out of the envelopes in the mailing department early each morning and sorted ac- cording to districts. The number of each policy is then entered on a filing- vnml by an entry clerk and then is sent to an examiner who checks the rate, premium, and the attached clauses. 1f the examiner finds a mistake, he makes out a tag, stating the error and whore the cor- lectlon may be found and sends it back to the entry clerk who makes a notation on the file card that such a collection is pending. Four copies of the correction tag are mudc. One is soul, to the agent, one to the rom— panv, and one is filed with the bu» rcuu. F1 Dailies Not Delayed After the dailies have been checked, they are sent to the re~ spective companies. held over more than one day. Mr. Miller stressed the point that a careless entry clerk or examiner can cause a lot of trouble. Such a l if‘rutemijy Notes !
