”Is, i}. amour: :u? \ .1 .1» Vol. Xlll. No. 5 SIDEAINES By LEROY BECKMAN WILLIAM C. BULLITT, Ameri7 (-an ambassador to Soviet Russia, is successfully creating an oversized expense account within well-defined limits. He decided to make the sky the limit in the pursuance of his duties as ambusaador; when he or- dcred included in his official bassy baggage, nothing more than a. small United States army observa- lion plane. When the ambassador first met Michael Kalinin, president of the U. S. S. R., he made known his desire to see u lot of Russia, whereupon the president replied, “Then why don’t you bring: in a plane?” The ambassador did. Intro- ducing,r a “flying envoy." em— FOLLOWERS of the activities of ambassador Bullitt, will agree that his work in contacting the United States and Russia has been quite properly conducted. His tank is an important one, and by no means one of case. The envoy urges the United States to increase its pur- chases from Russia if she expects to get many commercial orders from the Soviet. He has studied the trade situation between these two coun- tries and naturally his suggestions will be accepted as valuable. But then, on this side of the fence we can see where the United States would like to try external purchas- ll’lngl she could effect internal purchasing first. However, should ambassador Bullitt stress his atti~ tlldi‘ in discouraging war, as he has been doing recently, it would he worth a dirirriblc to call him the “flying! angel.” i 1 l. CREDITING Henry Ford with be» ing man of few words, we are surpriwd to observe his lengthy statement in fixing the blame of world wars upon a definite group. The industrial leader asHertcd that a small group of men were responsible for through the manufacture of munitions and by fosteringr in- tcrnotional distrust. “The people in general, don‘t, want war,” Mr. Ford “but it has been forced on them by scheming munition makers looking: For enormous profits through the sale. of arms.” a wa r said, BEARING OUT his point of arg- ument. Mr. Ford sold that if we could get rid of the approximately 100 men responsible for Wars in this world, the people would enjoy peace, We are inclined to believe that with the sole existence of just two of the approximate 100 me- referred to by Mr. Ford, there still would remain as big a chance for future wars, but maybe the manufacturer has a par ticular dislike. for a certain 100 munitinn manufacturers. Possibil- ities exist in Ford‘s statemcnl--—but the pioiuahilities are remote as we see IE. l a: $ lllll YOU EVER see a nation g'o backwan..~?

Negotiations for an Armour Insti» tute of Technology exhibit at the World’s Fair were undertaken sev- eral weeks ago according to Dean, Heald. and it seems likely now thatl a contract for exhibition space is in‘ prospect before the end of the month. Consider Several Loca‘tiona A number of locations for the pm» posed exhibit were carefully con» sidered. The most promising site, and one which the Institute will prob- ably select if present plans are car- ried through, occupies 300 square feet of space on the main floor of the Hall of Social Science, directly 0])» posite the court entrance to the building. The lnstitute’s exhibit here would be appropriately situated among ex‘ hibits of other scientific and educa» tional institutionu, and would con~ form toa openeml plan for that whole floor of the building. Nature of Exhibit Indefinite The exact nature of the exhibit in not yet definitely determined. It will seek to represent the nature of the. work carried on in each department and, wherever poesible, to illustrate the relationship between educational programs and the development of in- dustries.

Departments Submit [done A committee from the nrchitectur» l department, headed by Prefer-user, Reed, is working: with Dean Hcald and with the exhibits division of the World’s Fair in planning the exhibit.

This question is “Will the bids be too high, the or- chestra satisfactory, and the location suitable?" Since the social commit-1 tees have been considering the 3».ij question for some time, it. mig t a good idea to learn of their opinions. Senior Chairmen Diva Views The co—chairmen, Luke Cosme and llieo McDonald, of the senior social committee have agreed that the ‘ senior dance should be the best. Con- sidci'imr the attitude of the seniors, Cosme said: “They (referring to the seniors) will want the final dance. of their college life to be the finest and of an expensive character, sincc all of them will be taking their best girl friends and many their prospctu tors occasionally deviated fiom their‘ tive wives, to this memorable aliiiir." , observations whenever a group of coeds passed. Without a doubt the trip proved to be inteicsting, and satisfied the ex-i pee ctations of the. majority 01' the stu- dents. 0n the other hand Mr Donald igurded the student‘s financial condiA 1 tion of chief importzinre. To ease this €l710h€ta¥y distress, he said that “the Y[price of the bids should he kept within tiny range 01 the class and that it- the class tieusui'v should be our d to: cancel any deficit that might occur. lunior Social Chairman is Quoted i In stiikingr contrast, to the precedJ ing viewpoint stands that of the junior social chairman, Nick Maurer. According: to Nick, the sss of a‘ dance is a function of the numhet‘ of people who are able to enjoy it, and the, bids should be priced low enough so that membo. of all the (classes may share in this pleasure. ‘ Sophmore-Freohman Viewpoint l With regard to the combinedv freshman-sophmore social commit-i, tees, headed by Paul Rob and Murray Hughes respectively, hoth chairmen are anxious to provide a dam: extruA ordinary. Murray Hughes argues that “since the freshman and sophomore classes have only dance each year, they are entitled to an excellent one that is complete in every detail. To accomplish this end, I personally feel that the price of the. bid should :/.~ one ‘bo $2.00." l‘aul Reh expressed his opinion on this nubjecl. as follows: “I believe that the. price of the bid should be such as will appeal to the public and at the some time cover llll (Continued on page '1! iengineers entranced l934 Tuesdoy, March l 3, Will Allilllllll. lbl‘llllkfilllhlkl. lllllfillllllll Tlllllflt Alli) llhth‘ll lCIlllllllllAl.

Ilmvl. By John O. Lei-non many long; years, March 17 has been dedicated to the memory of lSt. Patrick and has borne clztim to lbeing a day of great import. That Ilimport, borne us a tradition, will re- ceive justification this year. The Armour Relays are set for March 17. The track and field stars entered in the relays will utilize about five hours of the “green day” to make impres— sions on fans and records whicn shall subsequently make Pet and all his smokes famous only for their affilia- tion with an American Institution. The sixth renewal of the Armour Invitational Relay Carnival will cer- tainly exceed its predecessors in all ways but attendance. Crowding, more than last year’s 3,000 ’Ians into the University of Chicago fieldhouse is an impossibility, so the officials must be satisfied with a duplication as far no attendance records are concerned. However, there is plenty of room in the infield, so the athletes can batter down record after record without 11 thought of allowances for space. They will, of course, proceed to do just that very thing. 24 Schools Entered to Date Coach Stem,r and Prof. J. J. Scliom. iner, collaborators in the production of this sports masterpiece, have, to date, an actual response of twenty- ‘Iour schools and a potential enroll- ment in excess of thirty. Universi~ ties listed are: Loyola, Purdue, De- I’nuw, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, Mar— quette, Northwestern, Illinois, Chi~ cago, and Notre Dame.

Although Michi— grin and Indiana are not likely en» trants, special efforts are being made to induce the schools to send some of their utars.
