Tuesday, October 9, I934 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Three Graduates Choose Research Profilem In the Chemical Engineering De- partment of the present semester there are four graduate students. Three of them, R. Marty, D. J. Mul- lane and W. E. Gunderson, are Ar- mour graduates of last year’s class. The other, William Lewis, comes to us from Notre Dame. The subject of heat transfer in a vertical tube between condensing steam and water is being investigat- ed by Mullane and Lewis. Gunderson ls studying the conditions favorable for the nitration of certain organic substances. Marty is investigating the pyrolyetic reactions of ammonium sulphate with the ores of certain metals. Evening Students Do Research There is also a group of graduate students in the evening class who are doing research Work with Dr. Barr in the flow of heat. This class is composed of Morris and Tarman, Armour ’30, Lomasney, Armour ’33, Carman, Loyola ’33, Hill and Schultz, Colorado School of Mines. Eight hours per week for thirty weeks are devoted to this work and two units of graduate credit are allowed upon its completion. In the Electrical Engineering De partment, there are four men regi~ stered for graduate work. Two are from Armour, A. B. Bronwell and Frank Woodsmall, T. J. Lehane is from the University of Manitoba, and A. G. Teacherson is from Lewis In- stitute. The subjects for theses have not yet been chosen. Civil Department Han Three Three Armour graduates are en- rolled in the Civil Engineering di— vision. They are: W. E. Downcs ’26, J. E. Schreiner ’34, and E. H. Smith ’34. A. Hill, U. of Illinois '31, and M. M. Kandinsky, Purdue ’30 are also registered. All have B. S. degrecal in Civil Engineering; Kaminsky also having an Electrical Engineer’s de- gree.

Schwab '34. All courses consist of highly spe- cialized work in the field in which the B. 8. degree was obtained and lead to a higher degree. A thesis must be written on some research prob- lem, according to the rules of the institute, before obtaining a Master’s degree THE STEAM SHOVEL Tom Jones, the otherwise estim- able senior, discovered at four o’clock Friday that he hadn’t eaten his lunch for the day—~and so all , we can say is, who is she, Thomas?

Plans for Extensive fieasen In order to give its members a chance to suggest plans for the com- ing year, the first regular meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers has been called for Fri. day, October 12. The place of meet- ing will be announced later. The recent election placed the or- ganization under the leadersuip of L. F. Higgins, president; A. Ange, vice president; A. Petralfis, secre- tary; and L. A. Cullen, treasurer. Since all social events of last year were so successful it is planned to suggest that the group’s activities be directed along the same lines this year. The major portion of the society’s program for the coming season will consist of addresses by speakers whose interests are closely allied with those of the members of the A. I. E. E. All sophomores, juniors, and se- niors enrolled in the electrical engi- neering department are invited to at- tend its meetings. is to be presented With a new desk this year.

Settei'berg, head of the Placement Blurcau reports that cons taets have been made by the bureau with the Federal Housing Admini- alration, the Home Owners Loan Cor— poration and the Public Works Ad- ministration. The results of these contacts have revealed the fact that experience is the largest factor in employment. The heads of the re- spective administrations have in— formed Mr. Setterberg that while positions with the administration di- rectly are not available, there would probably be a great demand for en- gineers and architects by the con- tractors who do the actual work. Among those graduates who have been placed by the Placement Bureau are Lawrence Frateschi, EB. ’34 with the Northwest Engineering Company; B. M. Kostenko, 0.12.. ’34 Company; M. A. Lukas, F.P.E. ’C-Ai with the Western Factory Insurance Association; E. M. Wojtasik, M.E., ’34 with the Sinclair Refining Cor- poration of North Dakota; and T. J.

Last Saturday’s dance, the first of this year’s social season, saw an attend- ance of a considerable number of ac- tives, rushces, and alumni.
