Tuégaay, December I l, 1934 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Five Seniors Rated on \ Personal Qualities l ' {Continued from first page) ommend suitable men for any avail- able opening. The Placement Comt mittec will try to meet this need and, to this and the cooperation of faculty l and students is very earnestly solic-l lied. l l l Employers Sce‘k Data “The office of the Registrar has‘ ample data in regard to the scholas-l tic standing of every student, but pro-smective employers ashimany ques- tions for which such srccords furnish no answer. Questions relating to character, personality, temperament, health, physique, etc. are asked by practically all employers, and we: should be in a position to answer them as intelligently as possible. “Some of the characteristics mcn~ tioned above are perhaps a bit in- tangible and difficult to evaluate.‘ Certainly most of them cannot be; graded as if they were ex ' ‘ionl papers in mathematics. But thel thoughtful, well~considcred opinion ofl a number of men who know the rich graduate intimately must certainly, be better than the unaided judgmcnti of the Placement Officer. It is exact- ly those opinions, expressed as con- cisely as possible, that the Placement Committee Wishes to secure. l Faculty to Assist ‘ “The committee will soon send al letter to all members of the faculty} who have senior classes, asking; l'orl = l hidden timings DECEMBER '3 December is a pleasant, steam-l heated month whose principal miss-l sions are to wind up the calendar} and the bank surplus. It is a more.i agreeable month than November, be. l cause we expect the weather to bel bad, it is sometimes line, whereas inl, November we still hope for pleasant‘ weather and what we get instead cannot be effectively commented up— , on in polite society. l in llecembir man retires indoors, and only uses the outside air when l passing through it from one set oil radiators to another. The icicle and l snowball crops ripen and when al man stands on a street corner wait/5 ing for the dim future in the shape1 of a street car, he looks like an en-‘; ginc with a leaky steam pipe. De—l ccmber is one of the few months ml, which the human breath is visiblel and it is worthy of note that the] | l i \ breath is always pure white, (no mat- ter how it tastes to the producer.) Dark brown and sulphur blue ex- hausts are only fig-merits of litera- ture. In December, also, the sidewalks begin to become pugnacious. Noth—l ing is more quiet than a sidewalk in i July or more unreliable and blood— thirsty than a sidewalk in Decem— ber after an ice storm. It is a com—- mon thing for a December sidewalk to approach a victim stealthily from‘ behind and to leap upon his neck and shoulders with the ferocity of a young tiger. Thousands of people have suffered severe injury by being attacked by hostile sidewalks and porch steps in December. This country is now tolerably free from wolves and Indians, but until the man-eating sidewalk has been sub- dued, life will still continue to be sadly uncertain. The most prominent feature of December is Christmas which finally comes to a head on the 25th of the month. This festival has made De— cember one of our most prominent and successful months. The younger half of the world spends the first half of December counting the days until Christmas, and the older por- tion spends the last half of the month counting its money with a slightly dejected air. in December the days keep get— ting shorter, alert-5' with the \peo- ple, until the 2151; when winter is formally opened and the sun goes to bed before the banks close. The 2151; is the shortest day of the year astro- nomically, but the 26th is shorter financially by a strong majority. lln December, the owner of the automobile wraps it up in goose grease and moth balls and packs it. away until spring. This has made December a delightful month in many respects, and has increased greatly the esteem in which it is held by pedestrians, .S. Fencers to Stage l Exhibition Shortlyl Oll'icers of the Fencing Club for the coming; year were chosen recent-l ly. The positions of president, man-l agcr, and secretary are filled by E.‘ J. Krok, W. K. Emmerich, and P. A. l Rch, respectively. The club is official- l ly recognized and pictures of it will‘ l l i l I appear in the Cycle, Professor H. Fischer is coach and adviser of the‘ organization. Membership fees are not charged, and all interested in the sport are welcome to come to the practice sessions. Trials are now being held to estab- lish a fencing team. To (late, two of four men on the team have been selected; they are E. J. Krok, cap- tain; and G. A. Quandec, assistant captain. W. K. Emmerich has been appointed manager and will arrange a schedule of bouts with other schools, the first of which will be held sometime after the Christmas‘ holidays. their cooperation in this work. With the letter will go a rating card, list- ing probably not more than ten per- sonal characteristics, and the profc sor will be asked to grade each senior , in his classes with respect to cach‘ item listed. A grade of A, B, or C,‘ or an approximate equivalent, will be asked on each item. For the pro-Sr cnt such a rating,r card will be called for only once each year, probably about May 1. If the plan works suc- cessfully it may be extended later to include all students and, it is hoped, x l > and Intel maternity Swimming Meet Tech tank activities, is the place. free style, 40 yard bac stroke, 'l'EflllAWltS Sindhi l WATER EARNiVAl.

Alsol there will be a fancy diving event: with the following dives to be execut- l ed—plain front, plain back, i'i'ont‘ jack, back jack, and two optional‘ dives. The rules set forth by Joe “Bucky" O’Connor, interl‘ratcrnity managom state that a limit of two men from“ each house he entered in the individ-ll ual events.

It is hoped that faculty members will give, be eliminated. The qualifying heats, will be run‘auainst time. This will narrow the held down to four quali- ‘,ers for the finals. Entries will be taken until 2:00 p.1 m. December l7, and must be given‘ to Joe ()’(‘.tnnor. There will be no changes after the entry has been accepted. , The interclass events include twol relays, a 160~yard sprint relay and a 1(50uyard medley. The medley is to be contested by two free stylers, one backstroker, and one brea. stroke swimmer, each r-‘ANimmini,r 40 yards. In the sprint event four swimmers will equally share the lilo—yard jaunt. The qualifications necessary for entry are that all men must be members of the class they represent, l and that they are not entered twice, in the some relay. 1 Since. there is no rule to ban the lottcrmcn from competition a lair1 idea can be had as to the chances of! the upper cla s teams, that have let-l tcrmen as their mainstays, ‘ ’I‘hc seniors have John Ahern, Stun , Bernstein and Dinny Moore, bolstered l by several promising swimmers such as Bob Lyl'ord and Charley Goldberg.

Newspaper work calls for the active type of person with plenty of natural, vibrant energy, as Manning Smith, journal- ism student, ‘Wcll knows. He says: “You’ve got to be a hustlcr in the newspaper game! There's lots of ‘leg work' and head work, too—and both use up plenty of energy.
