In regard to adult education, Dr. Hotchkiss suggested that its cultural aspects ought not to be neglected, even in the case of engineering and scientific subjects. “Science, viewed in its larger aspects, is at the same time a study of modern living.“ The vocational and the cultural aspects 01' adult education must go hand in hand. In general, Armour is planning: to enlarge its facilities, with a view of more strategically oilering such an educational program to business men, to college graduates, and to othcrs who want to live their lives in— telligently in this modern world. Employment Prospects Brightening A number of signs of brightening business prospects were referred to by Dr. Hotchk s. Not the least of these was the fact that Armour's evening class enrollment has in- creased by more than 200 this year. He also quoted from an article in the June, 1934, issue of “Commercial Radio" by Dr. Harvey Davis, Presi— dent of Stevens Institute which dis- cussed some statistics developed for the American Telephone and Tele— graph Company. Those indicated that, while too many engineers were being graduated in the years from 1927 to 1933, if the normal trend continues to 1037, about 3500 too few will he graduated in that year, and by 1938, the accumulated shortage, will have wiped out the accumulated l surplus of other years. Still another reason given by Dr. Hotchkiss for the cncouIz‘zi.giI1gr pros- pects for engineering graduates is the applicability or engineering training to other fields, and the broadening of the engineering field itself. He discussed the growing;r im- portance of engineers as social work- I 131‘s, mentioning the housing problem” as one that they are attacking. Social lmagination Needed All of this leads directly to the need which Dr. Hotchkiss next point- cd out, the need for a larger contri- bution to social imagination by en- gineering education. In this he saw a particularly promising field for adult education, which can reach men who have finished their college edu- cation but who need “to secure a grasp of the broader relationship of engineering." That Armour is developing its plans for adult education with full recognition of this basic need, he as- l i I i l m sured his listener If T. FRANCIS JONES doesn’t pay his 25 buck tax on his model T Ford pronto, FRANCIS will gradu- ate (according to BILL LOCKLING) “from the august halls of Armour to the County Jail 1" All we can say is ..what is the difference?

Highly perturbed is the Queen’s College Journal, Kingston, Ontario, over what it considers an insulting: window display by at Kingston meIu chant. The newspaper gives the business man credit for meaningr well. But when he goes to the point of adding women's silk lingerie and liquor bottles for local colors in a college boy’s room, Queen‘s is indig< nant. Other items in the model col— legiate room are an unmade bed, a lop-sided window curtain pole, pro. fuse cigarette butts, littered papers and books, and a collection of highly suuucshve signs. Following a complete overthrow of senior officers elected recently, an entire new slate was elected in one of the most exciting class elections ever held at Northeastern university, Bos- ton, Mass. The new election was held due to charges of illegal ballot- ing and fraternity politics in the first poll. May I pass on the advice trivcn to freshmen at Alleghany college: In case of fire take your time. Green things do not burn easilyli‘! An then there was the freshman girl who took Anthropolg‘y lit-cause it was the study of man. Cornell unive sity scientists have raised two sheep which have never eaten a blade of grass. Colby college students, in the old days before everyone carried watches, were summoned to and from classes by the tolling of a bell cast by Paul Rtvere in 1824. And to [rot out of classes, the boys used to steal the clappcr( or the bell itself). They even tried to freeze it silent by tip- ping it upside down, filling it with water, and letting it freeze-shut it rightcd itself and they were: all soaked with water as well as classes. Minnesota does things up right: the committee for an annual dance Professional Fencers Hold Exhibition Bowl In an exhibition arranged by the fencing club, a pair of professional fencers, Tom Cox and: Otto Haier, demonstrated their skill in the use of the foil, epee or dueling sword, and the light saber last Thursday. Both are masters in the use of the weapons. Before the actual bouts, a short talk, accompanied by a demonstra- tion of the principles of attack and parry was given by Mr. Haier. Be- tween bouts, Professor Hanns Fisch- er entertained the students with stories of German university life. _...._ ‘ day‘s Tribune “GEORGE WEST” is soon going to take the big leap.

Jr. Fire Protects Visit lnloncl Steel Professor Schomme‘r’s industrial chemistry class of junior lire pro- tects went on an inspection trip to the Inland Steel corporation at Indiana Harbor, which is a few miles from Gary. The group of fifteen students went in three cars. Since the mill is operating at 75 per cent capacity, the group was able to get a good idea of the working of a steel mill. The class is studying: steel in industrial chemistry now. They watched the operations of the blast furnace from which the iron was drawn into huge ladies and taken to the oii'eiiwhvcmrlh”furnace. The steel from the furnace was put into inysot molds, and then rolled into sheets. The rolling mills are completely automatic. After the, steel has been rolled to the desired thinness, it is dipped into a bath of sulphuric acid which removes oxides. it is tin coated and cut into uniform sheets, after which it is inspected and grad- ed into two classes by women. This tin~coatcd steel is familiar in the form of “tin" cans. TRUSS CLUB The Truss Club is pleased to an- nounce the initiation on the eveningr of January 12 of the following men: C. J. McCarty C.
