Apropos the Junior Dance

Attracting a crowd of over four hundred and
showing an actual profit, the junior informal was
conclusively a success. Since it involved a num«
ber of departures from rather settled Armour
customs, it becomes a matter of considerable in-
terest to look into the reasons for its success and
their probable effect on future dances.

In the dance arrangements, there was little
that was more attractive than in those of preced-
ing affairs. In fact, its location in an outlying
ballroom, the absence of programs, and the un-
pretentiousness of the bids might argue that the
dance was less attractive than usual. But, two
hundred couples attended and went away avow—
ing that they had had a good time, and the fact of
the matter is that they did have a good time. The
dance was one of the pleasantest and must enter—
taining Armour has ever seen.

There is only one thingr left in which this affair
was different. the price of the bids. Here at last
we have an explanation of the increased attend~
ance, and moreover, a promise of a permanent
solution for Armour’s dance problems. The senior
dance, with the price of bids $2.00, actually
grossed less in cash than did the junior, with its
bid price of $1.50. There is no general proof.
but it certainly appears that cheaper bids result
in greater receipts, and certainly in greater at-
tendancc.

Had the juniors cared to go in the hole with

their dance, they might have held it at the Con-

gress as did the seniors, and even if it were for-l
gotten that this would probably increase the at—‘1
tendance still more, they would have lost forty,

dollars less than the seniors.

Let future social committees con this lesson
well; if they wish to put on something really
stylish, they can do so and lose less money by
charging less; if they wish to make money, there

are many fine outlying ballrooms, and programs.

have been shown to be a needless expense. The
juniors have shown the way; let others follow.

 

Overprodnction?

“There are too many engineers now.” Every
student at Armour has heard the above statement
many times. Every student has also heard that
there are too many doctors and too many lawyers.

The professional field is over—crowded, or
rather, it is too crowded to give an excellent liv—
ing for all engaged in it, a living that repays the
time, money, and effort given to obtaining a place
in it. However, the engineer has a tremendous
advantage over the doctor and lawyer in that the

while the man with an engineering education is
qualified to take almost any position in the busi-
ness world.

Of course there are many graduates who make
mediocre or poor engineers and yet will not or
cannot adapt themselves to positions outside the
engineering profession It is these men who, al-
though they have an engineering degree, fill only
‘the minor positions and give the World the idea
that an engineering education is not worth the

No engineering student with a clear perception
