Tuesday, October 2,. l 934 Freshmen Given Rules for “Cops” In order to inform freshmen of new developments regarding their green caps, the News is publishing a list of rules which have been form- ulated for the guidance of the first- ycar men. 1. Caps are to be worn at all times after the Freshman Handshake, to- morrow evening until Thanksgiving. During the winter, edge will be giv- en to the frosh but the custom will be renewed on St. Patrick’s day and continued until the freshman-sopho- more rush at tho and of Junior week. 2. Because the freshmen heads are not sufficiently hardened yet, they will not be required to be adorn- ed by green hats in rain or snow be» fore the winter recess. 3. It has not definitely been de- cided what consequences violators or this very important act will meet, but freshmen are invited up to the N ews office to examine the hiltorical rewards as set down in the past issues of the Armour Tech News. There will probably be a board of control of upperclassmen and offend- ers will be arraigned before it. Af- ter due consideration has been given the offence, it will be passed upon and the scales of justice will be in balance once again. Tech in... Clubs Plan Active Year The Armour Tech Musical Clubs under the direction of Mr. Erickson will open their season by giving a concert at A Century of Progress on Saturday night, October 13. It has been planned to have both the glee club and orchestra participate in the concert, but weather conditions may not permit the orchestra doing so. Last Thursday the orchestra and glee club held their first meeting and several new membcrs were welcomed into each club. Any other person m- terested in either musical club is ad- vised to register in it as soon as pos- siblc in order to take part in the concerts which will take place soon. The orchestra will practice as usual on Tuesday evening from five to six o’clock, while the glee club will meet at the same time every Thursday night. It is very essential that anyone intending to participate in the concert at A Century of Prog— ress attend every practice of either glee club or orchestra, as anyone who does not attend these meetings will not be allowed to take part in the concert. WS.E. Officers Lay Plans for New Year Plans are being rapidly formulat- ed by the newly elected officers of the Armour branch of W. S. E. to make it one of the most active or. ganizations on the campus during the coming year. As the society has al- ways been known for its ability to secure noted engineers and tech— nicians for its meetings, the present officers are intent on keeping up the good record made in the past. The officers of the Armour branch of W. S. E. are: G. A. Nelson, presi— dent; K. 0. Stocking, vice—president; J. M. .O'Connor, secretary; 0.. P. Grakavac, treasurer; and B. Rigoni, student representative. Members of the organization are urged to attend a meeting scheduled for Friday. Only juniors and seniors of the Civil Engineering department are eligible for membership in the organization, but all students who are interested are invited to the meetings. Will Announce Essay Contest Winner Soon Eta Kappa Nu, honorary electrical engineering fraternity, is starting the year with a new group of of- ficers elected late last June. They are W. B. Ahern, president; V. A. Bed- lund, vice-president; L. F. Higgins, recording secretary; A. M. Wolf, treasurer; and D. E. Young, corre- sponding secretary. At present no plans for the com— ing year are being announced but there are plans in the process of formation. The winner'of the annual essay contest will be made known soon, the prize of which is a {Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering. investigate . Glass ' i as. Pipe insulator Huntly and Peeblcs Active in Testing Laboratory Servant of the community, in par. ticular the mid—west industrial com- munity, a position which it is a large part of Armour’s purpose to main- tain, is a role often played by the research and testing department of the school, directed by Professor Finnegan A great deal of the work in this department is done by Professor Pceblcs, Armour’s specialist in heat conductivity, and Professor Huntley, head of the Department of Mechani- cal Engineering and expert on strength of materials and mechanical devices of all kinds. Beginning next week, Professor Peeblcs will be working on a job that is in the van of progress in steam engineering. Modern tendencies have been to increase beyond all former limits the temperature and pressure in steam lines. This calls for a new insulating material better suited to temperatures of from 800 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Seek Qualifications Professor Pecbles will begin on a material composed of spun glass packed in mats or blankets and sim- ilar in appearance to the glass wool that is used in air conditioning equip- ment to filter the air. In this form it is a good insulator; just how good, Professor Pcebles will dctcrmine. The tests will be conducted on 4, 6, and 8 inch pipes. There is a pos- sibility that they may be continued with many other insulating materials by two graduates from the depart— ment of mechanical engineering work- ing for master’s degrees: Bruno E. Wolgemuth, ’21; and James A. Clear, ’32. It is possible, after a few tests on a material have given its specific conductivity, to determine what the radial flow .of heat from a pipe of any diameter covered with any thick- ness of the material will be, by means of the mathmatics of Fouricr‘s series. Health Dept. Involved Last summer saw a great deal of work in the Mechanical Engineering department on a particularly intrigu- ing subject, that of a siphon stop for a new type of toilet bowl that has been extensively used. lately. This fix- ture draws water directly from the fresh water mains. It was soon found, however, that a vacuum was forming in the valve which caused water from the toilet to siphon back into the drinking water supply. This naturally caused a great deal of per- turbation in many circles, and a large number of the devices were brought to Professor Huntly for test/- ing by, among others, the health de- partment. The results have not yet been made known. But it is reported that in the case of at least some of the preventative devices which were presented, Professor Huntly stated that he wouldn’t drink any water from a main to which they were connected. The final report is anx- iously awaited. . SlflElll’NES (Continued from page 1) in its character at last. Mooney was closely associated with Burr and he, as his friends did after his death, continually changed the policies of the society to coincide with political desires. In fact it is said that Tammany served as an instrument in the hands of Burr which decided the election by which he became vice- prwident of the United States. IT IS INTERESTING to Observe as one writer puts it, that “an as- sociation introduced by an ordinary upholsterer, who never attained an official rank higher than keeper of a poorhouse, and recruited from the lower classes, has made presidents and government policies. While on the other hand, a society including Washington and Hamilton, and all the leaders of that army which made the nation possible, never exerted enough political influence to control a town election." That gradual change from a charitable organiza~ tion to a political machine gives us the Tammany Hall of today. Origin- ally partaking of Indian customs by meeting in tents and smoking peace- pipes, the Tammany organization has risen from tent to hall-«merely to present the “best man” in political circles. That might be charity. ARMOUR TECH, NEWS ms mm enliven. And we’ll start of as usual . . . “With a question by SMETANA," remarks BENNY FREUD wisely.

And Sammy Bibb’s eloquent word of advice to Armour freshmen is: “Anything worth doing all all is worth staying up all night for.” FINIS Evening 'fitudents . filtered Variety Due to the ever increasing demand for evening classes by those who are unable to attend day school, Armour Tech has increased the number of courses offered in evening sch001. At the present time there are about 40 different subjects open to working men, and these courses include every subject listed for every year of the day school course. Mathematics is offered from higher algebra to cal— culus. Among the numerous courses ofl’orcd are strength of materials, mechanics, drawing, machine design, heating and ventilation, electrical labs, radio lab, structural design and drafting, metallurgy, flow of heat and last but not least freshman chemistry courses. The evening school is open every night during the week from seven to ten o'clock, and on Saturday after- noons from two to four o’clock. In case registration in any of the courses offered is considered insuf- ficient, the class will be withdrawn. The courses offered should satisfy the wants of any person coming to take classes in the evening, and many should find courses of interest oll'ored that would not directly con- cern their job. The schedule is the most thorough offcrcd as yet, and should not need much modification in later years. It's pretty evident that Miss Steele has had it in the back of her mind for a long time. Anyhow, when we walked up and asked her about the Armour Mission she fairly jumped at us with an idea. The idea is this: This institution is filled with queer old things, and for- gotten associations, let’s dig them out and write them up. Miss Stcclo says plenty of people are interested, that she is bombarded with such questions as “What’s that old stone out in the hall?" and “How come the girls’ pictures in the library win— dows‘l" Well, boys, now it comes out. We start with “Why do they call that building across the street “The Mission?” It seems that back in 1874 a group of people headed by Dr. J. H. l-lol— listcr started a Sunday School. They had no particular church affiliations, but they were so successful that they had to move three times; into larger quarters; the third move, in 1886, was into “The Mission." This all comes from a little pom. phlct printed in 1905 entitled “An 11- lustrated Historical Sketch of Ar- mour Mission.” It goes on to say: “Mr. Joseph Armour had . . . con- tributed liberally to its support. His death occurred in 1881 at which time he made a bequest of $100,000 to he Miss Steele Ansmers Queries on the History of Mission Building used by his brother, Mr. Philip D. Armour in establishing a Sunday School Home for the people of this community. Mr. Armour added a large amount to this sum and . . . the present building was erected un- dcr the direction of Mr. David J. Simpson. It is probably the finest Sunday School building in the world. “It was completed in 1886, a large number of flats having been built at the same time, the income of which was to be used for the support of the Sunday School. "At this time the school had a membcrship of five hundred, and at the first services in Armour Mission, seven hundred persons were present.” But listen to this: “The community may undergo many changes, and conditions may change, but none of them or any- thing; can change the destiny of Ar— mour Mission. It must continue as it began-a Sunday School. The in- come from its endowments must con- tinue to supply its needs and time cannot make any changes—not cvcn expediency could do it.” Well, that certainly tells; why the building across the street is called “The Mission.” Since then the Institute has grad— ually moved in on the Mission, until last year when the two were finally and completely merged. Applicants Elven. EELRA. Positions Taking advantage of the few extra free hours incurred at the beginning of the scmestser, some F. E. R. A. appointees lost no time in getting started. Those who were fortunate enough to receive their placements early, put in a few hours of work on Tuesday after registering However, on Thursday morning the remainder of the placements were made. There are 116 authentic appointees and they will work in one of 17 Sections. There is cleaning and clerical work to be: done in each of the engineering departments at Ar- mour besides help in the cashier, cus— todian, English, library maintenance, placement, registration, and treasury departments. Page Three lWilwaaleee Has Group or Active Graduates Although Armour Institute of Technology in well represented in all of the larger cities of the country by her alumni, the Milwaukee alumni are the first, with the exception of the Chicago organization, to create it permanent society with regular monthly meetings. The Milwaukee alumni organized as the result of a noon luncheon planned by a few Armour alumni in the latter part of 1932. At that first meeting only twelve men appeared, and at the present time the member— ship has been increased to forty alumni. It is the object of the as- aociation to foster meetings where- in the members may enjoy them- selves with numerous diversions, such as bowling and card playing. 102% Greater ink Capacity- A Visible link Supply-“A Twice as so ul Pointwl‘lcw, Exclusive Laminated Pour-l Style In order to hold us much ink as this suclccs marvel, an ordinar rubber sat: pen the same length woul have to be as big around on a canc.
