By Leroy Ecckman PERI-IAPS blunt personality has never met with such reception pub- licly as has that of I-Iuey Long. We say blunt because we mean blunt. A mass of jumbled ideals sent crash- ing through the seeming dense minds of an unsuspecting Louisiana public, propelled by an unusual personality, has been fuel for fire on the part of many of the nation’s publications. In many instances the press has labeled him as a menace to demo- cracy. Interviewers have insinuated that he certainly has no breeding, and no respect for it. As one writer put it, “whether profanity is ordi- narily a signal of contempt for man- ners or merely a substitute for bet~ teroexprcssed emphasis, it is both for Huey. I-Iis profanity is not imagi- native or colorful; it is just ordinary vulgar cussing.” Let these individ- uals rave—they are merely complet- ing the portrait that some people ad- mire—in Louisiana. THE SPIRIT of resentment evi‘ dent in his ceaseless ambition for power marksvHucy Long as the prod- uct of a humiliating and harsh childhood. One of nine children in a poor village family, son of a farm- l or who forced him to work long‘ hours on the farm, he submits in his autobiography: “Rising before thel sun We toiled until dark. alter which we did nothing except cat supper, listen to the whippoorwills, and go to bed. My every sympathy has gone i out to those who toil." Every Sun-l day he had to go to Sunday scheol,l Church, young peoples’ meeting, and l church again. He learned his Biblc thoroughly, and recently said pub-l licly that science had not succeeded" in refuting a statement in it. _. l I-IUEY LONG was a rebelliousl boy. At the age of sixteen, when it was made clear he could not be sent, to college, he got a job as salesmanl and traveled through the district‘ sponsoring baking contests to adver» tise a lard substitute. A year later he 1 had five months’ law study at the‘ University of Oklahoma. In another year of salesmanship he accumulated ‘ a few hundred dollars and cntcredi Tulane law school, determined to l-‘m- ‘ ish the course in a year. He studied l day and night until he became asI thin as a skeleton, but he passed his bar examination at twentyvone. Those familiar factors in many American lives—poverty, ambition to push on, the want of privileges— have burned the soul of Huey Long. He is determined to penalize those who possessed while he suffered from want. It's Huey, a “hard man” now. HE MAY BE uneducated and without culture today, but we stand to say he's intelligent—in his way of course. There may be many polished lawyers in this country, but there are few with more talent. He has that disregard for conseqences in all his undertakings—he means to complete the job. How he completes his job remains to be seen. Of course, a “lot of wind" won’t help the job—but it may help Huey. Alumni in Detroit to Hear John Schommer Professor John J. Schommer, noted for his interest in Armour activities, will be in Detroit tonight to speak at the banquet given by the Detroit branch of the Armour alumni. This meeting will be attended by alumni from all parts of the state of Mich- igan. The banquet was organized under the auspices of Harold S. Ellington, noted architect. . Professor Schommer will present a tall: concerning past and present activities of those connected with Armour Institute, together with vari- ous other phases of Armour activ- ity, in order that those attending, might be kept in touch with condi— tions at Armour. lattending the Summer Armour to Five Students lll hiltlfllhll bl l All Winners from Chicago High Schools Five of the number of new stu- dents who will enter the freshman class next February will be award- ed scholarships, giving them one year of an engineering education at Armour. On Saturday, January 12, fiftyv three students, representing high schools in the vicinity of Chicago and several from outside the state of Illinois took the scholarship exam- inations which were to provide five of them with tuition for the second semester of the academic year 1934- 35 and the first semester of the academic year 1935-36. Addressed by ls‘r. Hotchkiss The students who took the exam- inations were addressed by President Hoichkiss before the examinations and were later entertained at the Students Union. The following stu- dents have been selected as the scholarship winners. Carl F. Huboi Roosevelt High School, Chicago ‘ Stanley John Johnson Senn High School, Chicago Robert Earl Loeck Tilden High School, Chicago Leo B. Poskonka ' Lane Technical High School, Chicago David Shidelar Austin High School, Chicago Alternates Also Chosen The following have been selected as alternates: Robert Kane Hirchert Lane High School Edwin H. Nieman Austin High School, Chicago Robert George Robitschek Kelvin Park High School, Chicago Norman F. Svcndsen Denby High School Detroit, Michigan George Henry Thomas Thomas Jefferson Hie-h School Council Bluffs, lowo Many Factors Considered Courses have been arranged at the Institute so that the successful scholarship winners and' others en- tering in February, 1935, can, by Session im- mediately following, enter the soph- omore year at the beginning of the academic year, 1935-36, and com- plete the requirements for o‘radua“ tion in June, 1938. The scholarships are offered to those students receiving the high- est rating from the Institute’s schol- arship committee. The rating is based on the student’s competitive examination, on a consideration of his personality, his scholastic record in high school, the extra-curricular activities participated in during his high school training, and on his gen— eral fitness. Cycle Pictures Must be Taken by Feb. 1 “Seniors, if you wish your pictures to appear in the Cycle, do not fail to have them taken at Marshall Photographers Inc. before February 1." This is the warning of George Wheaton, editor-in-chief of the yearv book. All others who must also have their pictures taken should do so at the scheduled time. Appointments can be made by calling the studio, which is open from 9:30 a. in. until 6 p. m. For the price list, other related details, and sched- ule see the notices on the bulletin board. Music Clubs Present Concert in Evanston Last Friday evening the Armour Tech Musical Clubs gave their first concert for the National College of Education in Evanston. The concert which filled the first half of the eve— ning, included several encore num- bers, two of which were Girls!

In answer to questions put by Mr. Moore, Dr. l-lotchkiss gave a com- prehensive picture of present day trends in engineering education, with particular reference to Armour‘s experience in dealing with the more modern aspects of the subject. Mr. Moore began by addressing Dr. Hotchkiss as “head of Chicago’s leading college of engineering" and curled by assuring him that “Chi~ cago must appreciate the value of Armour Institute of Technology as our one high grade institution of that kin(." Engineering Field Brondened "be general trend of Dr. Hutch- kiss's remarks was to show how the fields of both engineering and en- gineering education have broadened under the complexities of modern life. In particular, he dealt with the matter of adult education, which is becoming,r ever more important in the engineering field. i l l 1 l Explaining what is meant by a handbook engineer, he stated that modern engineering education “is stressing more and more the impor- tance of thorough grounding in basic science, in contrast to more tech— nique and ability to use the hand— book." Another tendency is toward broad~ oning the course of study to include social and economic subjects. Many more highly specialized engineering l subjects are being eliminated or made l elective, l l l l ‘ Adult Education Important Adult education supplies these sub» l (Continued on page a l l.lltrcl‘iery Club to l 1 Be Formed Here i An innovation in extra-curricular activities will probably be reached when archery becomes established at Armour. The free periods of those students who signed on the bulletin board will be used as a basis for ar- ranging three or four separate group meetings wherein the plans {or forum ing' an archery club will be explain- ed. Later the three or four groups will meet together to complete the plans. Experience is not necessary for those who wish to join. There are l some experienced archers at Armour lwho will instruct the beginners and assist in making the club a success. It is found that several faculty members are interested. To begin with, equipment will have to be furnished by the students, but if ‘ enough interest is shown there is a possibility of getting the athletic lassociation to purchase equipment. 1 Anyone further interested in the l archery club may see Harold Meyer, ’38 -) Archery is a sport in which any one can compete. it was first used ‘ in colleges as a mild form of exer‘ cise for women. Later the bows and l arrows were used by men to correct lcertain physical deficiencies in the upper part of the lungs and shoul— ders. The sport soon became pon- ular among the students and now there are clubs in many of our high schools and most of our colleges and universities. Neither brawn nor stature are required to be an aroh~ er. Nerves are developed as skill is obtained. For target shooting, bows with a pull of 20 to 40 pounds are used. A 35 to 50 pound bow is used for hunting. l l lnstitute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois More Apparatus Through the efforts of Professor Morcton and Scar the Armour Tech Radio club has secured the entire abandoned third floor at 3329 South Federal street as permanent head- quarters. During the Christmas vacations, the members of the club worked hard to clean and Wire these quarters for alternating and direct current light and power. This new location gives the club more facilities to carry on its new extensive program. Since the amateur station license (WilYW) of the club will expire in March, it has become necessary for a rogue sentativc of the club to secure a new one. Norman Pulliam, president of the club, is selected for this respon- sibility. The club has been given, through the influence of Professor Moreton, a 2,000 volt, 2 kilowatt motor-gen- erator set which is to be used as plate power supply for the transmit— tc-r. The various other pieces of apv paratus were secured by the mem» bers themselves. At the meeting held on January 10, the reorganization of the club re- sulted in the election of the following licensed operators: N. Pulliam (WlJIWR), president, R. Colin (WllCLP) vice. president, and V. H. Quayle (WEJBI'U) secretary and treasurer. As part of an extensive program the club plans to conduct radio classes for beginners next semester and to participate in the exhibit at the coming Armour Tech Open House. Players to Give Two One-Act Productions A twin hill is next on the program of the Armour players; two plays, “The Dear,” a one act comedy by Tchekov. and “Dress Reversal," a one act force by John C. Gerber, will be presented on February 28. These two plays are guaranteed to give Armourites a good long hour of hilarity. There will he an admis~ sion charge of ten cents for the two plays.

New Stone Added to Senior Jewolry List Since the question of senior jewel» ry is of importance to the student, many inquiries have been made con- cerning the stones to be used. Since the time of publication of last week’s article the sardonyfx stone, :3. dark red stone, has been added to the list of other stones to be used. The price of jewelry using this stone will be the same as those us- ing the black onyx namely, $12.80 for 10 carat gold rings, $9.00 for the two—tone ring", $6.50 for the sterl- ing silver ring“, and $5.50 for the 10 carat gold keys. The substitution of white gold for yellow gold keys may also be had with an additional cost of 75 cents. The reason for this is that, in order to obtain a decent looking key, 14 carat white gold must be used where- as only 10 carat yellow gold was necessary. In addition to the stone already mentioned there is the blue spinel or the ruby which can be obtained with the ring or key with an addi- tional charge of $1.25 to the cost of rings and keys using block onyx.

Healy and O. Tomei, are working hard to com-‘ pletc the details of their (lance which is to be held February 22 at the ‘ Bal Tabarin of the Hotel Sherman. l This dance will be distinctly dif- , ferent from others held by the school. The hotel management has promised that the floor show which is avail- able in the College Inn at the time of the affair will entertain the (lane- ers with their regular program. For the benefit of those who “sit out" a dance or two, tables are being pro- vided. The orchestra for the occasion has not yet been definitely chosen, but in all probability Harold Stokes will ‘bc engaged. This combination of one of Chicago’s finest musical groups and one of the best ballroom: in the city will help to make the of- fair one of the finest in the his- tory of Armour. l Students Will Speak at ASJVLE.

A display of enthusiasm, pep, and support for the Armour team this morning and again this afternoon at the game will be a big‘ factor in a victory for the "l‘cchawks over the Napcrville team, so come on you loyv a1 Armourites! Let's go! The Napervillains, coached by Len Dicber. will bring fourvfifths of the team that set down the Armour quintet twice last year, 32~2G, and 40.24. From some fifty candidates, Couch Dieher has culled out several men who easily replace the m" ‘ng Ken Berry, and who provide re. was that threaten even the 'four wrest. lcrs! Technwks Ready for Invaders However formidable the enemy, the Tochawks should be ready. In their last game, with Capt. Laurhi- skis out on personals in eight min— Lites, and A1 Christoph lost through sickness, the Ki'al‘ftmcn fought down a slow but deliberate Michigan Nor» mul attack to win, 33—25. This game, although still below the par of a loom built around the individual power Armour possesses, was farthest rc- movcd from the “alumni game" class, of any yet played excepting, pos— sibly, the Maroon game. Gene Ilcilcc led the team in a ('lns- sy demonstratiOn of pivot line work and his book shots will be needed if the game is to he put away. Pop Warner and Harry Dollenmaier, inA separable and well nigh invincible guards will take care of the home court as they have in every game. Excellent boll handlers, both can be counted to dribble the ball in if the offense can‘t get the break. As yet their long shots bounce, but the law of averages still holds, so here’s hop- ing!
