Vol. X“. No. l5 Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois Tuesday, january 23, W34 SIDELENES l New, Retiring Editors of Engineer 1, By LEROY BECKMAN TOLERANCE reached a limit the other day, as far as President Roosc~ vclt was to be concerned, when he put his foot down on Democratic national committeemen who, as lawyers, sell to clients their existing influence with the federal admini- stration in Washington. 01' course the president admitted his knowledge of the matter, but it took a letter from a radical senator to remind him that the senate would consider the same as mal-practicc. IT IS AMUSIN z to notice the re- sults of the president’s “disfavor.” Postmaster General Farley announc‘ ed his intention to resign as Demo- cratic National Chairman, Robert Jackson made known his resignation as Democratic National Committee- man for New Hampshire and as see— retary of the National Committee, and the National Committeemen from Montana and North Carolina both submitted their resignations. They all decided to apply their “drag" in the practice of law. WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC ad- ministration went to Washington, we had the idea it wont clean, it looked good. Maybe it did, in which case the matter of “profit on the side” could be referred to as the result of temptation. But we are more in- clined to call it the following of a natural tendency—self'intcrcsts first. These men worked with the admini- stration, they were a part of it. But, when the opportunity oficred, they accepted compensation for the appli- cation of their more. influence in satisfying the desires of individuals, such as “satisfactory” income tax settlements. Hence, a new theory in government~what looks good is probably had. SOMETIMES we run across a story that’s worth passing on. Here’s one as true as night follows day: It was three—thirty o’clock one Sunday morning. A Mr. Brown, accompanied by two men and three women com- panions, was driving south on Chi— cago’s outer drive, and was of course applying considerable deflection to the accelerator. Also, at the same time a member of the city police force saw fit to uphold the law, and promptly interrupted the. rapid progress of the party of six—insist- ing that they were “doing sixty” and would have to go to the police sta— tion at once, unless the matter was settled at the scene of arrest. his lady friends, Brown inquired of his party as to how much small change could be collected, only to be told that a ten»dollar bill alone ex- isted. “Well,” said Brown, “guess we’ll have to go to the station, we only have a ten—dollar bill." “Oh, that’s all right,” replied the officer, “Come with me and I’ll change it for you.” WITH A SOLUTXON in sight, Brown and company followed the policeman for more than two miles in a westerly direction before an open store was found, and into which the policeman entered with the ten- dollar bill. When the officer reapv peared, be promptly handed Mr. Brown a stack of singles, said thanks, and drove ofF.——Brown counted six single dollars in his change. Brain Wort: Features ChessflClud Matches The Chess Club of Armour has been having a good deal of hard brain work in the past few weeks. During the holidays they had a good match with veterans from the Oak Park Y. M. C. A. The Oak Parkers were older men and more experi- enced at the game so the match was rather one sided. However, the Armour men tried hard and hope to do better next time. Last Thurs— day there was an informal match with some men from Rogers Park. There will be a business meeting Thursday, January 25, at 12:30 o’clock. The place will be announced later on the bulletin board. Ellis H. Donne Because of the final cmmrina- lions and the accompanying holi- days, the new! issue of the Armour Tech News will be distributed on Tuesday, February 13. idl'orle Progressing on Cycle for £934 Work on the “Cycle" of 1934 is rapidly progressing under the load— ership of Thomas C. Peavey, editor- in-chief, and Howard J. Zibble, busv incss manager. Quite a few articles have been written to date and work will be increased greatly after the semester examinations. The photographingthis year is be. ing done by the Marshall Photograph— ers located at 140 North State street. Group pictures of the various organ- izations, faculty pictures, and ternity pictures will be taken the first week of the second semester here at Armour. Pictures 01' the members of the Senior class are be- ing taken at the photographer’s studio and all of these photographs must be completed by Monday, Feb- ruary 5. The editor requests that anyone having snapshots concerning school activities or students in school drop them in the Cycle box by the elevator in the main building. In previous Cycles these pictures have been very interesting. The deadline on Senior Biographies has been set as Monday, February 5. Any biographies not in at that time will not be published in the Cy- 5‘ A call is also issued for assistance in preparing the Cycle. Anyone pos— sessing any writing ability and desiring to work on the staff of the publication should see the editor as soon as possible. Search initiates Ten Pledges at Banquet Members of‘ Edfou chapter of Scarab, professional architectural fraternity, gathered at the Architects Club last Thursday to initiate the fol— lowing into the organization: Arthur Adreani, Frederick Bartlett Jr., John Benja, Robert Cheatham, Robert Esbense‘n, Herman Gerhardt, Lester Johnson, Henry Mortorand, Julius Sanstedt, and Carl Seaberg. A banquet followed the initiation, after which several talks were given. Mr. Volta gave some interesting views on “Kindergarten Chats" by the late Louis Sullivan, who was an honorary member of Scarab. These “Kindergarten Chats” are to be pub— lished in the near future. President Hotchkiss spoke regard— ing the future in architecture, after which Mr. Hofi‘meister, the model— ing instructor, spoke on “Industrial Design.” Mr. Luse of the Chicago Face Brick Bureau put a fitting conclusion to the meeting by explaining an ex! hibit which had been held over from a meeting of the American Institute of Architects. f ra- .

College Information Offered Representatives from the leading colleges of the middle west are to be present at these meetings. Each rcp- resen1.ativc is furnished with a loca— tion or space where he can be found by students who are interested in the particular college which he rcprc~ gents. The Armour representative has copies of official publications and bulletins describing the various courses, photographs showing interior and exterior views of the buildings, copies of student publications, Ar- mour pennants, and other features of interest to the prospective student. He is prepared to answer individual questions of all who care to enter into these conferences. Receive Many Inquiries Armour is being; represented at the greater number of these conferences by the Recorder, Mr. Kelly. He has spent most of the time since the Christmas holidays in the high schools of Chicago. He is being aided in this work by Dean Heald and Pro— l'essors Peebles, Sear and Scegrist. Professor J. C. Peebles, of the department of Mechanical Engineer- ing- reported a live interest among the group of 300 seniors that he met at Lane Tech last Thursday. Sixty—seven of them asked that Ar- mour bulletins be mailed to them. The present conferences are for the benefit of those students gradu- l sting in. February. Another series of lconferences will be held in May of 1' this year, to aid men who are gradu» ,ating in June. a l Editor of Chemical l a - K, decimal Vicits Here ‘ __ l A recent visitor at the Institute lwas Mr. S.

Players Choose 3 New Producrion After two weeks of tryouts, the Armour Players have decided upon the cast for their next production to be given sometime in March. The play, which is called “The Rising of the Moon,” was written by Lady Gregory and was selected after new oral had been studied. Plan Student Assembly The play is to be given at a gen— eral assembly so that all students will have a chance to see it. Players are working hard on this play, as they did on the last, gaining: more experience so that the success of a three act play, to be given some- 1.imc in May, will be insured. The longer play will, in all probability, be ‘yrivcn at an evening performance.

J. ll“ink of the National Aluminate Corporation addressed the local chapter of the A. I. Ch. E. on the subject “Water Treatment." The analysis of our lake water was dis~ cussed at great length. Dr. Fink, himself a well known chemist, clearly set forth various processes used in water softening and treatment of boilerfeed water. The various objects of display which the lecturer exhibited added to the interest of the lecture. Junior informal Well Attended Two hundred couples attended the junior informal dance held at the Shorelaml Hotel last Friday evening. thereby making it the most successful dance held by an Armour class in recent yours. The reduc- tion in the price of bids increased the attendance without affecting the quality of the ufi‘uil', Charley Straight‘s orchestra, fa» miliar to many through the medium of the radio, furnished the music lor the evening: and was widely ac- claimed by all of those present. The attractive Crystal Ballroom of the Shorelnnd supplied the setting, and the convenient lounges just outside welcome-d those who lircd of danc- ing.
