Armour’c t?) Yearbook

in the news columns 01‘ this issue can be found
an article announcing the staff appointments of
the Cycle, Armour’s yearbook. This information,
while interesting, was not altogether in the na-
ture of a surprise.

The past record shows that for the last four:
years, the two key posts of this publication have;
not been allowed to wander about on the loose
but have been kept in rather restricted company.
During: this time, few Without the right frater-g‘
nity affiliations made the stall”, fewer persisted to ‘
gain the reward of appointive positions, and none
reached the rank of business manager or editor-
in-chicf.

it is much more pleasant to say nice nothings
about people and brother publications, but at
times these sweet sounding phrases are hard to
reconcile with one’s conscience. As an example;
of the bookmakers’ and the engravers’ arts, lastl
year's publication was superb. It is only to be,
regretted that, considering the amount of money
expended and the effort put forward by the en—
gravers and printers, that the student staff did
not exercise a little extra care in the editing of
copy, reading of proof, and selection of pictures.

As we see it, the defects of last year’s yearbook

are due in main to the method of staff selection.
if the Cycle is to continue to have on its flyleaf
“published by the students of Armour Institute”,
candidacy for its stall positions should be open
to each and every student of Armour Institute
and selection based on ability and effort put for-
ward, not on which fraternity is due to have
which position.
" We believe that the present editor is capable
and that he might very conceivably have achieved
his position regardless of the method of selection.
This is not a bit of sugar to sweeten an other“
wise sour editorial but is our sincere belief. How—
ever, it is also our sincere belief that this method
of selection is a severe handicap to any editor,
good or bad.

The faculty members of the Board of Publica—
tions are to be commended for their willingness
to give student government a trial. However,
they should be censured for not intervening when
student government fails.

Each Armour student, through his payment
of his student activity fee, has two definite rights.
One is the receipt of a satisfactory yearbook, and
the other is the chance to show his qualifications
for work on the Cycle staff. If those responsible
for the continuation of present conditions do not
take immediate steps to remedy it, the faculty

September 20, 1934.
To the editor of the Armour Tech
News:
Sir:

At Armour an antiquated custom
of addressing faculty members is in
vogue in our conversation. We, the
students, and quite a few of the fac»
ulty, have endured it long enough.
The faculty has been “protessored”
and “doctoral" to an irksome bore~
dom. Do not misunderstand me. The
importance of rank and title is not
to be minimized. In writing it lEl
proper to so address a man; but
nothing is guinea by the continual
preflxing of a. title to a. man’s name
in a, conversation.

in addressing a faculty member it
certainly is more natural, more
human, dignified, and polite to say
“Mr. Thompson" instead of “Profes-
sor Thompson” or “Doctor Thomp-
son”. In fact, I know that Mr.
Thompson would, much rather be
called Mr. when students speak to
him. Such a practice once instituted
would make possible a better rela—
tionship between the faculty and
studentu.

Consider how usinine it. would be
in the industrial world to call Mr.
Hunt, Engineer Hunt, or Superin-
tent Hunt, or Manager Hunt each
time you addressed him in a. corn
versation. Then why must we at:
some of our institutions of learning,
particularly Armour, maintain so
artificial a habit? At Chicago’s most;
famous university, it is the custom
for all faculty members to be all--
dressed as Mr. when they are spoken
to. Let’s start this at Armour.

Let’s have action on this at once
while the first semester is just gel;-
ting started. This idea will be
brought before the faculty by some
of their own members for an ex»
pronsion of opinion. However, in the
end it will be up to the Student body
to initiate the change. Let us have
a reaction from the students and
organize it into a campus opinion by
diecusaing the matter with other
Techowke and also with individual
members of the faculty.

Think it over—«which way is more
natural, more democratic, and more
American in spirit?

Sincerely,
Howard P. Milleville.

 

  

 

Will”,

We advertise in order that the public may better
understand what the Bell System is doing, and why it
does it. In this way we ltecp cue‘tomers and prospective
customers informed of our aims, policies and program.

We advertise in order to nirl the telephone customer
in melting the boat poneible use of bio service. As our
advertising; influences one person after another to use

‘ the telephone more effectively, the service rendered
every other uaer is correspondingly improved.

We advertise hccuuec We have a varied service to

cell and by selling more of it we increase its value to

each user. Because of the nature of the telephone
"hnsinoao, it is our duty to inform the public contin-
uously of the character and varied kind of service we
provide.

In line with this broad plan, we find real opportunity
in uddrccsing mcooagco to college and university peo-
P10 in their own publications, just as we also vary our
advertising for women’s magazines, farm papers and
so on. 193435 is the fifteenth year during which the
Bell Syotcm has published advertisements which take
college man behind the scenes of Bell Telephone
