JANUARY 22, 1935 No. 14 Come on Armour! i This afternoon the Armour Tech basketball: team meets a traditional rival, the basketball five‘ from North Central, on the home court in the 108th Engineers’ Armory. ‘, ls it necessary that any more be said? The game is a continuation of a long rivalry in l athletic endeavours between the two schools. Sol far, in the last six years (as far back as the; “morgue" of the News dates), Armour has been i successful only once in defeating the Cardinals. from Napcrville on the basketball floor. It is‘ high time something was done about such al lamentable situation. l This year, the chances of defeating Northl Central appear to be very bright. From com~li parative scores of games with teams which bothi the Techawks and Naperville have played, the‘ indication is that the two teams are fairly evenly l matched. 1 it appears then that it is up to the Armour; student body to help pull the Alma Mater‘s team‘ through to victory by a stupendous burst of enthusiasm and whole—hearted support that willl spur the Armour five to a winning mood this afternoon. For that purpose, a pep assembly has been called this morning. Every Armour student should be at the assembly and at the game later in the day. It furnishes a grand opportunity for the entire student body to prove its loyalty and interest in the activities of their Alma Mater. And what a game it promises to be! Come on ‘ you Techawks! Let’s go! An important Problem to Consider During the two semesters that the present managing board of the Armour Tech News has been responsible for the printed matter appear- ing in this editorial column, we can recall no comments made concerning the New Deal, the N.R.A., the F.E.R.A., the A.A.A., or in other words the present federal government policy with all its ramifications and its probable effect in future years odour professional life. This does not necessarily mean that we do not recognize the importance of the above mentioned problem. Comments have not been made because we have felt very keenly our lack of knowledge of the meaning of “a planned economy" and of the whole economic and political composition of our country, as it changes month by month. As the present seniors approach graduation time the importance of the problem becomes in— creasingly greater as they try to determine a future course of action in the engineering fields. It therefore becomes necessary for the thought— ful senior to give the entire situation careful study and consideration. To do this and expect any reasonable degree of satisfaction and success, it appears that the best way of study is to follow what capable and thinking men write in the most trustworthy of periodicals today.

Q Tuesday, January 22, P935 Faculty Members Hold Dmnzr in School Grill Strict social conventions were for- gotten for the moment last Friday evening when the Faculty club held lihoir first social event of the new yeer. Most of the members of the teat-hing staff were present, accom- panie ' by their \vivts who directed the entertainment. A dinner was given, after which the group indulged in a game of an- agrams. Although a theater party was a part of the program at last year’s affair, it was decided that an evening of bridge would be more on- joyable, so after the playing with words, those present occupied the re- mainder of the time wiih hands of bridge.
