Tuesday, December II, I934 ARMOUR T Page Three Air Conditioning Topic for AMSJl/lfi. Friday’s meeting of the A.S.M.E. was made interesting by a talk on the use of water as a refrigerant in modern air conditioning systems. The speaker was B. L. Messinger, a senior who hopes to enter that field upon his graduation. Of the two methods in use one has proved to be unsuccessful in the Chicago area, but has worked well in the region of Arizona. The reason for this is that dry air of Arizona is able to evaporate and carry with it more water than the damp air of Chicago. The other method, now being used quite extensively in both unit and air washing systems, is one of par— ticular interest. It makes use of the low boiling point of water under the pressure of one-half an inch of mer- cury. The boiling point of water at this pressure is about forty degrees, and is sufficiently low for use in air conditioning. In the unit system this water is circulated in coils, through which the air of the room is blown. 1n the larger systems the cold water is sprayed into a washing chamber through which the air to be conditioned is blown. This air, after being saturated with moisture for that temperature, is mixed with un- conditioned air and is then circulat- ed through the building. Mcssinger’s talk took up most of the period, leaving insufficient time for H. L. Mayerowicz, the other speaker of the day. However, the latter‘s subject will be heard at the next meeting. Seniors Present lnlormal Dance Last Friday night marked the suc- cessful opening of Armour’s social season as the seniors held their in- formal dance at the Shoreland Hotel. Bill Padcn’s 10—piece orchestra pro- vided supcrlative music for the more than 150 couples present. The beau» tiful setting of the Crystal Ballroom heightened the enjoyment of the evening. Because of the fine work of the social committee, of which W. A. Trudclle is chairman and of which J. J. Ahérn, L. A. Cullen, M. C. Forsyth, F. J. Meyer, J. M. O’Con- nor, and R. H. Wittekindt are mem- bers, there was a smooth functioning of the details. The chaperons, Dean and Mars. Heald, Professor and Mrs. Finnegan, and Professor and Mrs Ensz, made the evening a cordial one. Enough bids were sold for the affair to cover the expenses incurred and to enrich slightly the class treasury. The success 01' this will make the social chairmen of the other classes sit up and take notice. At any rate the sophomore social chairman was Hear Music Clubs Christmas Concert to Be Given Dec. 19 Members of the Executive club, meeting at the Hotel Sherman at noon next Friday, will be entertained by the music and the songs of the Armour Tech orchestra and Glee club. This concert, like that for the Rotary club last Tuesday, is a re— turn engagement. The annual Christmas concert will be presented in the Armour Mission Wednesday morning, Dec. 19. As in the past, visitors are welcome to at- tend this presentation, although it is mainly for the student body. In an— ticipation of these two approaching concerts, several new selections are being earnestly prepared. Another feature of the week be— fore the Christmas Holidays will be the singing of Christmas songs by a group of Glee club members in the several campus buildings. In regard to the recent concert for the Rotary Club, Mr. G. Erickson, director of the Musical clubs, rc- ccivcd a letter of appreciation and thanks from George L. Treadwcll, secretary for the Rotarians. The weekly paper of the Rotarians, “The Gyrator," reported the concert as follows: “A truly remarkable enter- tainment program, both vocal and instrumental was staged by the Ar~ mour Tech Glee Club . . . and forty piece orchestra, all under the expert direction of Mr. Gordon Erickson. The orchestra regaled us with appro— priate selections . . . and the Glee club rendered a number of delight— ful songs with all the rhythm and harmony of professionals. It was a real treat to hear and see this line group of gifted young men. . . ." Faculty Women’s Club Will. Meet Tomorrow Tomorrow afternoon the wives and daughters of the faculty members of Armour will hold a tea in the Fac- ulty Club rooms. This will he the last meeting of the Women’s club this year. so the Christmas theme will be carried out. The faculty Women’s club was or- ganized to promote understanding and friendship among the wives of the faculty. This club cooperates with the Faculty club in various ways. They have a meeting on the second Wednesday of each month. Anonymous Donor Befriends library Five books of fiction were donated to the library last week by a mem— ber of the faculty who wishes to keep there to take notice. Present plans indicate that the sophomores will hold their dance af- ter Christmas. The freshmen plan a smoker shortly after the beginning of next semester, while the juniors plan to have their dance Januaryi ll, 1935. p I Penn and Snow Tulle Before Camera Club Interest in the Camera club is not lacking among the students at Ar-( mour, but 0. lack of consistency in at- tending the weekly meetings is in, evidence. l Last Tuesday Professors Penn and I Snow related some of their experi- ences in this field. Slides of early Amour sights were presented by the latter, while the former spoke of his experiences while taking pictures in the Tropics. At each meeting general dis- cussions on cameras and prints are held, while many added features are to be displayed on other occasions. All meetings are held in the Elec- trical lecture room at five o’clock and last for an hour at the most. The club wishes to make an appeal to the interested students to attend meet- ings regularly so that some definite program may be launched for the future. Many beautiful pictures are being prepared for the club’s exhibit at open house. Judging from past ex~ hibits, the next display should be particularly appealing to both stu- dents and visitors. his identity secret. This action was very welcome to the library because of the fact that its funds are very limited. The selection of books in this lat— est donation shows a knowledge of the problems of a library in a pure- ly technical school such as Armour. Too often, the great majority of books are highly technical and spe- cialized. While this is of course nec- essary, the Armour library being pri- marily for reference of engineering students, the need for broader read- ing is being recognized. The popular- ity non—technical books have enjoyed in the past proves that the student body thoroughly appreciates this fact. The titles of the recent additions are "The Babyons” by Clemenco Dane, Pepys—His Life and Character by John Drinkwater, Angel in the House by Kathleen Norrris, Zest by Charles G. Norris, and Father by Elizabeth. Truss Club lustallc Stragg As President At a formal meeting of the Truss Club, Anthony J. Strarz was in~ stalled as president of the organiza- tion to fill the vacancy left by the withdrawal from school of Harvey Williams, former president. The Annual Harvest Dance, held November 28, was a success, finan— cially as well as socially. The Club takes pleasure in an. nouncing the pledging of Melvin Me~ zek, 13.13. ’37. Executive one to Incas. cam Tail: 1 9: on “Chicago Plan At the W. S. E. meeting held last I Friday morning Mr. E. H. Taylor, Manager of the Chicago Plan Com- mission, gave an interesting lecture on the progress and influence of the commission in making: the city a bet- ter place to live in. The commission began as an out- growth of the Columbian Exposition in 1893. A movement was original- ed by the commercial club to moire tain the order, beauty, and effici- ency of arrangement of conditions which were so prominent in the Ex~ position. It was, therefore, decided that this commission would present appropriate public improvements to the city council as suggestions. The first plan that was suggested by the commission related to the control of tralfic and street improve— ments. Although the automobile was in its infancy, the foresight of the commission caused it to plan to wid— on streets and relieve heavy trali'ic conditions by having main thorough— fares running outside the loop dis- trict. Since the loop was not very accessible, because of the river on the north and west and the large railroad yards on the. south, elevated roads were deemed necessary to en- ter the city. The commission also presented various plans to control the place and number of railway ter— imals in the loop. Since the commission was only for the benefit of the public, it had a humanitarian aspect. It is through their efforts that Cook County has about 32,000 acres of forest pre- serve and almost all of the land of the lake front has been reclaimed.
