“THE AMERICAN Communist
Party must be turnaround and Bolsho-
vized. For that and we must work: in
order to forge real revolutionary
cadres and a. real revolutionary lcad~
crshlp of the proletariat, capable of
loading the many millions of tho
Amorican working class toward the
revolutionary class struggles.” The
foregoing statement is from Stalin’s
address of May 6, 1929. To be
amazed at the foregoing would be
foolishness— at least it appears as
another European “blow-off."

 

WITH A membership of 175,000
of the younger business and profes-
sional leaders in some 190 leading
communities, the United States
Junior Chamber of Commerce has

Americanism. In the opening para-
graph of a public address, the or-
ganization made known its purpose
in a very convincing manner: “That
the Communist movement through-
out like United States is spreading
at an alarming rum, and continually
gaining a stronger ‘fo‘olhold. is a dis-
heartening fact now well known to
every one." More interesting, per-
haps, is the proposed activity out-
lined by the Chamber of Commerce
in its campaign for Americanism.
First it proposes to eliminate Com-
munist propaganda in the education.
al institutions. In the second place
it proposes to emphasize to adults
the power of the ballot and to make
an intensive drive on the importance“
oi.’ registration as a part of the citi-
zen’s civic duty. Further it proposes
to he vigilantly observant of legisla—
tion and to be active in the promo-
tion of laws for the control of Com-l
mun’ist activities.

AS TO THE advantages seen in
Communism, we are blind. We have»
observed icommunistic agitation to
quite some extent in populated cen-
ters. of foreign extraction—where
education is a minimum. In con-
trast, that same agitation has been
entertained in many of the insti—
tutions of higher learning. The Unit- l
ed States Junior Chamber of Com-
merce ‘ “ lack of
proper education at the core. Oil
course, the college man or woman
reserves the right of self-thought in
choice of ideals. The Communist
party may convince those who lack
higher education that something may
be attained by sitting back and wait-
ing" for it. But it should take the
collegc man or woman to recognize
attainment as the result of thorough
efi‘ort——in the proper spirit. The sys—
tern of democracy in the United
States requires ”Americanism” today
and forever. Let Stalin hoist anchor
and sail to hell. We’ll use his “soap
boxes” for the fire.

Hold Second Meeting
of Mathematics Club

Several trick problems in algebra,
geometry, and arithmetic featured
the second meeting of the Mathe-
matics club last Friday. They were
proposed by various members, and
were solved by the group as a whole.
Besides this, Professor Bibb gave a
talk explaining the possibilities of
the club.

To prepare for the next meeting,
which will be held the second week
of school after the Christmas holi-
days, a program committee of five
was organized. They will set the
date and arrange to have a paper or
two presented. They will also prce~
pare a list of mathematical puzzle
problems to be used in future meet-
ings.

The attendance at the last meeting
was over twenty, among whom were
some of the professors.

Players Present

Another Offering

With a highly dramatic play in the
Christmas spirit, the Armour play—
ers will be back on the boards this
morning at 11:30 in the assembly
hall. The play is “The Bells of St.
Stephen”, by William M. Sloane III.

Classes will be excused at the hour
of the play, and admission will be
free.

A feature of the performance will
be the appearance of two performers
who are not Armour students. They
are the Misses Glenora and Vivian
Jepoway, sisters, who have come to
the aid of the players in filling the
two female ports.

The cast of characters is as fol-
lows:

Wesley Wicting will play the
organ.

Timely in more ways than one, the
play deals with a momentous confer-
t'erence which is to decide whether or
not two European nations will be
plunged into a bloody war. The con-
ference is held on Christmas eve in
a little German tavern.

The players, now a large and en-
thusiastic group, are planning,
among things, to hold a
Christmas party. The farce which
had previously been announced as
their next play is still in the offing,
but will probably be presented soon.

Junior Schmiers

to Stage Pu rty

 

The junior chemical organization
will hold its second social event of
the semester. The Chicago Crafts-
men’s club, the site of the first party,
will be the site of a Christmas par-
ty which will be held Friday night.
The price of the ticket is one dollar.
Roi ’ will be served.

Entertainment will include games,
cards, dancing, and skits produced
by home talent. The latter will be
a major event, for it marks the re-
turn of the famous chemical dra»
matists, “The Star Armour Hams.”
Music will be presented by the

Schmiers eight-piece “Tear Draw-
rs,” whose theme song will be
“Ethyl.”

Rifle Club Schedules
Three Postal Matches

Three matches are scheduled by
the Armour Tech Rifle club for the
two weeks before vacation. The first
is with Massachusetts Institute of
Technology this week; the others are
with the Ontario Rifle clubs-and the
University of Akron. The club’s
scores will be mailed to the other
teams, and they in turn will send
their scores here. Scores of both
teams will be posted on the same
date and compared.

Officers of the club would appre—
ciate any information regarding one
of the rifles which was stolen Friday
afternoon or Saturday morning of
the week prior to Thanksgiving.
Anyone with any knowledge of it
should see one of the club officers.

Juniors Are Pl—edgcd
by Alpha Chi Sigma

Alpha Chi Sigma, professional
chemical fraternity, announces the
pledging of five juniors. The cere-
mony was conducted in the frater-
nity’s rooms last Tuesday by the five
active members. E. W. Engstrom,
T. M. Gilkison, B. S. Lane. 0. E.
Norris and 0. Zmeskal, were
pledged.

Constitution Reoiscd
by Alumni Association

Members of the Board of Man-

agers of the Armour Tech Alumni-

association met last Tuesday evening-
to give the constitution of that or-
ganization a thorough examination
and then to make several changes.
The meeting was held at the Univer
sity club and lasted until midnight.

Professors D. P. Morton, and J.
J. Schommer and Messrs. Sanborn,
Pahlman and Stryker are the mem-
bers of the board who took part in
revising the constitution. The
changes were made to increase its
practibility and to place it in line
with the numerous amendments that
have been added from time to time.

 

 

Revisions in the constitution o!
the Alumni association had been con~
templated for some time.

For its annual Christmas party the 1
Faculty club is presenting an eight—
rec] motion picture at 8:15 p. m.,
Wednesday, December 19, at Thornc
hall, on the McKiulock campus, near
the and of Superior street at the
lake.

Man’s complete history, from the
time that he was a primitive savage,
relying on his own strength and skill
for his existence, up to the present
peak of civilization, will be depicted,
in “Human Adventure,” the talking
picture which will be given Wednes-
day. This picture was prepared by
Professor Breasted, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, who will also be
present to lecture.

Tickets are available to all Armour
students and their friends and may
be obtained from Professor John
Schommer, through whose efforts the
film was made available. The seats
will all be reserved, and those who
wish tickets may sign the sheet on
the bulletin board in the main build-
ing. The seats are given in the order
that they are signed up for. Those
signing up first will therefore get
the butter seats.

Several other reels will also be
shown, in order to round out the
program.

Last year, for its Christmas party,
the Faculty club presented a movie,
and also had Pat Barnes, National
Broadcasting company star, as an
added attraction. The program this
year, it is hoped, will excel! that of
last year, and all students are invit-
ed to attend.

Giro Moth Tolls

At a combined convention of three
national scientific societies to be
held in Pittsburgh during the Christ-
mas holidays, Dr. Rufus Oldenburg-
cr, who is in his first year of instruc-
tion at Armour, will present a ten
minute paper on a problem of recent
mathematical research. The societies
meeting at this time are the Ameri-
can Mathematical Society, the Ameri—
can Association for the Advancement
of Science, and the Mathematical
Association of America.

One of the feature events of the
meetings will be the first public talk
in this country of Professor Albert
Einstein who is now associated with
the Institute for Advanced Study.
Professor Einstein will give an elc»
mentary proof of the theorem con~
earning the equivalence of mass and
energy. In addition, during the
course 01' the meetings about sev-
enty-five highly technical papers on
various mathematical problems will
be presented.

Dr. Oldenburger’s paper, which he
will :5ch during the Friday morning
session, December 28, deals with the
equivalence of multilincar forms
singular on one index. It deals with
transformations of functions of three
or more variables. They have been
classified and reduced so that they
can be studied in applied works in
theoretical physics.

slight advantage in height, they took.
the Mormons at the U. of C. field—-
house last Saturday night with a
final count of 34-37. Unfortunately
the game wasn‘t entirely removed
from the “football” class due to
loose rcfcrcering and both teams

were hampered by “unnoticed”
roughing.
The Mai-cons opened play with

the lanky Eldred taking the tipol‘f.
They did lots of ball handling in
Armour territory but the Tech de’
cnsc kept the goal safe till Warner
finally intercepted a pass, and went
pounding down the sideline. He was

with Armour in the lead, a distinc—

Lang on a long shot and Eldred with
a free throw set the score at 3—3,
but Mcrz, Armour’s high point man,
plunked in both gratis attempts after
someone interfered with his shot,
and Tech's lead was not broken.
After this opening flurry, both
teams settled down to steady play
and some time elapsed till the whistle-
called another goal: Armour via
Gene Heikc. Chicago again tied the'
Krafftmen when Dorsey, wide opem
at the pivot line, took a passfrorn
offside to count, and “Shots” Duvall"

tosses lifted Tech again to the fore
and Capt. Al Lauchiskis pushed inv
Warner’s wide free toss to up the
score and hit the tally column him—

Tim Flinn, diminutive Maroon
captain, whose defensive work was
outstanding, was individually re-
sponsible for the close score thus
far, but the Mai-cons needed more
than Flinn in the closing; minutes of
the first half. Armour completely
dominated play and boosted their
point total to 21. Chicago wound up
at 13 with free throws by Flinn and
Lang and a goal by Flinn on a
”sleeper” under Tech’s goal.

The first half was easily Armour.
All of the erratic play shown in
earlier games was removed from the
