i l l Tuesday, October 2, V934 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Five. Library Featured Many New Ermine Library books, magazines, and other circulating articles will be ac- cessible to all students at the begin- ning of the school term; the librar- ians have numbered, filed, and shelved the books for immediate use. New books especially have been procured for aiding the students in their courses. The new books are of varied types, including technical,l fiction, travcl, biography, history,l and novels. Secure New Editions New editions have been obtained to replace the old editions in text and other technical books. It is with regret that the library can not sup- ply students with necessary text- books; but the text books are to be used as references only and not to be used exclusively by one student. The new text and technical books were obtained for each department so that all references obtained will be up to date to include all data compiled from the most recent experiments performed. Others books are supple- mentary to regular courses of in- struction such as; \Starling’s Elements of Electricity and Magnetism, a good supplement to the hard studying physicist. Amateur Telescope Making a good technical book for the star gazer interested in developing his own instruments. The Technique of Study To the student who finds it hard to concentrate or find time to get his home-work completed, he will find that The Technique of Study by Crawford a great help if he will take a little time out to crack ite cover. Chapters regarding note tak- ing, listening to lectures, thinking, and using the library will be found to be of great assistance. In fact most everyone should take some in— terest in these new methods of ac» complishing his assigned tasks. l STUDENT mummies Millionaire» A millionaire is a man who has enough money to live 100 years on $10,000 a your. Very few millionaires do this, how- ever. Some of them live ten years‘ on $100,000 a year and some fifty years on $500 a. your. Moreover, some millionaires work themselves to death in three years while trying to get enough money to live 1,000 years at $100,000 a year. And yet we put men in insane asy- lums for such trivial matters us try- ing to chase pink elephants on the ceiling. Millionaires have no distinguish— ing features and it is very difficult to detect them, especially during the open season for assessments. Some millionaires are proud of their money and advertise it by limousines, fancy wives, and large, shapely residences with “Private. Keep Out” on the front gate. Others are ashamed of their money and keep it locked tight~ ly in a large steel safe so that it can- not get out and annoy the poor. Some millionaires can be detected by the faces they make’ when they have to smoke a cheap twenty-five sent cigar. 0n the other hand, some millionaires can be detected by the roar which they put up when the newsboy on the corner tries to hold out the change left from a nickel. Millionaires make themselves prin- cipally in two ways: by saving money and by making it impossible for any one else to save it. The latter method is by far the more popular. By lunch- ing on an apple, wearing the same suit of clothes twenty years, and bor- rowing his neighbor’s lawnmower, a man may possibly become a million- aire in time to write a will disposing of it to the lawyers. 0n the other hand, if a man invents a little trust he may become a millionaire over night by putting up the price of ice owing- to the scarcity of Christmas trees. New York city has some 10,000 millionaires, or at least did before the depression, and 1,000,000 other fellows who are trying to become one. There may be other things wrong with New York but they are triflcs compared with this. Millionaires, if caught young, can be trained to do a great deal of good, but the millionaire who tries to eat and drink up an income of $50,000 a year with only occasional help, not only acquires indigestion, but also :5 tearless tomb. P. S. You 3cm iii/orig Wain in Your Spare Time ‘Five men are engaged in a poker game—Brown, Perkins, Turner, Jones, and Reilly. Their brands of cigarettes are Luckies, Camels, Ral- eighs, Old Golds, and Chesterfields, but not necessarily respectively. All are standard cigarettes except Ral- cighs, which have cork tips. At the beginning of the game, the number of cigarettes possessed by each of the players was 20, 15, 8, 6, and 3, but not necessarily respective- ly. Later in the evening, at a given time, the following conditions exist— ed: 1 . Perkins asks for three cards. 2. Reilly has smoked half his original supply or one less than Turner. 3. The Chesterfield man originally had as many more, plus half as many more, plus 21/2 more cigarettes than he now has. 11. The man who draws to an in— side straight abscntly-mindcdly lights the tipped end of his fifth cigarette. 5. The man who smokes Luckico has smoked two more than any- one else including Perkins. . . . 0. Brown drcw as many ones as he originally had cigarettes. ’7. No one has smoked all his cig— arettcs. 8. The Camel man asks Jones to pass Brown’s; matches. Problem: How many cigarcttcs did each man have originally and what was each man’s brand? Men who wear suits at the Univer- sity of South Carolina are labeled “capitalists.” Function of? Armour Honornrico Explained The function of the honorary fra- ternities and engineering societies at Armour is often not apparent to the entering men. it is a year, perhaps two, before the new men become ac— quainted with the operation or re“ quircmcnts for admission to these organizations. There are six honorary scholastic fraternities, five departmental and one, Tau dicta Pi, on all-engineering; fraternity. The men, who by their attainments in college have mani- fested an interest in their school ac- tivities and attained a high scholas— tic average, are eligible for election to this fraternity. The elections, which are held in the spring and fall of the year, are based on schol- astic ability and participation in school activities. Also Non-Scholaatic Groups Aside from tho scholastic ti-ntcr- nitics there are honorary societies to reward athletic, musical, and literary achievements. Entrance to those on ganizalions is based wholly upon the candidates’ ability in the particular activity. Also there are several p. fraternities, the functions of which are to stimulate an interest in scien— tific endeavor. The requirements for admission are a relatively high scholastic standing, interest in the profession and certain personal qual- ifications. Election in these organiza. tions is sometimes open to cophmorcs as well as junior and senior students. Engineering Societies Open to All The engineering societies are open to all students. There are no scholauv tic barriers, the organization admit- ting those who are prepared to meet the dues. However, some of the so cietics limit their membership to the junior and senior clusnes. The purpose of these organiza- tions in to promote an interest in current engineering practice by con- ducting- meetings at which guest speakers, usually men of engineering prominence, inform the members ol' the, recent engineering advance- month. Aside from the serious aspects all of the above organizations sponsor social activities in the form of ham quet‘s, dances, and smokers so as to enliven the life of the Armour engi- neer. Then again the engineering so. cictics sponsor meetings that are open to all the students. John lFogic, Father of Student, .53 Dead Mr. John L. Fogle, father of William M. F‘og‘lc, C.E. ’36, died on Tuesday, September 11, after a ton day illnciss. Mr. Fogle was attorney and score— tnry of the Grievance Committee of the Chicago Bar Association and was well known in law circles. [Faculty and students wish to ex» press their deepest sympathy to Mr. lMgle's family and friends. A senior at the University of Illi- noise vouchcs for this story: A col- lege man had been having a big night and had been assisted home, much the worse for wear. His friends, before putting him to bed, coated his body with vnaelinc, and covered him with feathers taken from £1 pillow. Then they turned on the heat, closed all the windows and left him. The next morning when he awoke he caught sight of himself in the our. ror. “Great Scott,” he said, “in Hell and a bird.” l ., i {great Touch finial Tournamcnt As per usual, the fall inter~class hardball tournament will lead the student body into a state of sports consciousness. Since the majority of us are more dabblers in the field of exports, the tournaments are an out- slumling part of the sports program. These games, of course, will draw the attention of fellows interested in hardball. The fact that Coach Bill I‘lrall't gets; an eye on freshman pros-- pccto lends the affair distinct value, but at best only ten or twelve men will get in the game. Then too, of tho l'our teams, two play but one game, tho others but two!
