EDiTORS of the daily press final-,
ly r1 ceived their chance to hear Pri ‘
ideni Roosevelt’s “press policies"
whtn they met with him last week,
in the capital to discuss problems oi
the press and the New Deal. Paul-
Bellamy, president of the Americani
Society of Newspaper Editors, said}

 

 

 

 

 

at the opening of the society's,
twelfth annual convention, “th‘
meeting should include frank andl

open consideration of the new prob-
lems precipitated on the press by‘
the New Deal."

Lao Year’s Pun Followed i

For many years the Institute has

M ill” d'OOl‘ because the {”0501”, ones awarded scholarships on the recom—‘

were not accepted by the two social
committees as being in accordance
with their specifications. A further
evidence of the elicits that have been
put forth to make this the, most
elaborate and well worth while social
event of the year, is the free park.
ingz facilities that have been secured.
The reduction of the price of bids
to $1.75 has been met with great
enthusiafim by the student ”only in
the fact that over two hundred
couples are expected to attend.
Although the bids show originality
in their design, the artistic design
is missing, whvrefor the jeweler has
procured one which will supplant the
old one. As it will be impossible to

recall all of the bids the chairman‘

of the sophomore committee, l. M.
Hughes, has made arrangements to

distribute the new insertu at the
door. Because the dance will come
of?" on Friday all bids must be

settled for on Thursday and the last

sale of bids will occur all day Fri-

Oriental Ballroom

The Oriental Room in the Knicker-

chanting ballrooms in the Chicago
area. A few ol’ the dcsirelble features
prompting the committees in this
selection are the amplifying; system,

indirect lighting system, and the at-
tractive unusual type of oriental arr

Tl.) MEET HUMBQLDT FOR LUCAL AWARD

 

Senior Group Plum
For Clone Reunions

Realizing the natural tendency of
clans friendships to disappear through
lack of contact after graduation, the
senior mochanicals have taken steps
to counteract this danger. Accord-
ingly the entire grroun met last Fri-
day morning to make plans for the
ci‘tablishmcnt of frequent reunions
after they leave school.

ilei'orc l’lerbcrt Kreiuman took
charge of the meeting, Professor [lob-
hardt, of the mechanical department,
pointed out the {not that the main—
taining: of those friendships begun in
uchool would be desirable from the.
business standpoint of the men's bo~
more. likely to obtain work
through old classmates, as well as
from the social viewpoint 'of not ion—
in}: contact.

In ope-him: the. meeting, Kreismun

explained that the close unity of the
senior mechaniciils created a gen--
crul desire in the group to remain as
a whole, rather than to disintegrate
as is unually the case. He pointed out
the fact that a class. of’ mechanicals
at the University of Illinois continued
to meet for 25 years after graduation
and that this {group could do the name
if ull were nufi'ieicntly interested.
After the answering: of questions
and n general discussion in which the
assemblage voted that, A committee
should be formed to make arrang‘c‘
merits for a moetinp; nomctime next
fall, Kreismnn was unanimously
elected as chief organizer. His ii) i
nppointment in this capacity was hr
