An Engineering Slant on Life

Why come to Armour? Is it to become a
trained engineer who is ready to take over in-
volved technical jobs immediately upon gradua-
tion from the four year course? Maybe! Is it
to become a college graduate who appreciates
the finer things in life and is fitted to mingle and
talk with the higher levels of society? Maybe!
Is it to acquire the ability to meet and overcome
the everyday problems of a mechanized, throat
cutting business world? Maybe! It depends
largely on you—your abilities and your goal in
life.

Many a man has come to Armour just for the
specialized training; and has received it in the
classroom and laboratory. He has gone out after
graduation and made good as an engineer.

Others have spent just enough time on the
curricula to give their minds a normal develop-
ment, giving the rest of their time to making
friends, delving into the important social prob-
lems of the day, browsing around in the store-
rooms of the literary masters, and otherwise fill-
ing their college lives with valuable activities.
They then go forth and become integral parts.
of the civilized state we live in, having happy
families and many friends.

Still other Armour men go in for the extra
curricular activities which build up ability such

 

as will help them meet the business and execu—
tive men in the world, and will keep them in,
physical trim. They go out with their store of f
technical knowledge, business experience, andl
sporting ideas to make their impression on the:
world in some line of endeavor.

You too have to start your life here at Armour \
—--and finish it after you graduate. Unless you;
are interested only in the working end of engin-
eering, your life at school should also take in
extra-curricular activities either with the estab—
lished groups at Armour, or on solitary branches
of your own choosing. It doesn’t matter much
what particular activities you choose, as long as
you give to those selected amounts of your time
proportional to the importance you expect those
fields to play in your post-graduate life.

 

 

intramural Athletics

Varsity and interclass competition are the
main sources of athletic competition at Armour.
These games, however, only allow the better
athletes. a small percentage of the total number
of students, to participate. To give opportunity
for wider athletic participation an intramural
system should be sponsored by the school. True
that there are scheduled tournaments, but they
could be handled far more effectively by means
of an organized system. Intramural athletics
have been a Worthy experiment in many colleges
and merit consideration by the athletic board of

 

any up-to-date school.

Two student brakcmen stood before a veteran con-
ductor in the caboose on the start of a run.

' “Which of you two is older?” roared the conductor.

“1 am,” said one.

“Alright, you scrub up this caboose.” Turning to the
other brakeman, he barked: “You couple all the hoses
from here to the engine and when you get there tell the
engineer, “All right.”

Doing as he was told, the younger student got to the
engine and said to the engineer, “All right."

“All right for what?” asked the engineer.

“Why turn on the water," came the answer, “They’re
gonna scrub out the caboose.”

RICHARD voummmosn ’38, says:"Study-
ing clearicnl engineering takes as much out of
me as the hardest physical effort you'd put into
an active outdoor sport. I‘m a Camel smoker.
The harder I work the more I lil.c to smoke, be»
cause Camels help me to keep alert and full of
'pcp.’ I enjoy Camcl's milder flavor, and they
never frazzle my nerves."

You will like this delightful way of "turning on” your flow
of energy. Whenever you feel "played out,” try this convenient
way of ironing out fatigue and increasing your energy: Light a
Camel. Soon you will enjoy a definite "lift”. . . an upturn in
energy...and in good spirits. Smoke Camels all you wish. Camels
are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS and

never interfere with healthy nerves.

My First Impressions of Armour

Upon entering- Armour Institute, I immediately had
occasion to form a very favorable opinion of all the in—
structors I came into contact with. Adorned with a cap
of defiantly-verdant hue, I forthwith preceeded to pull
as many “boners” as only a “bone-puller” of long stand—
ing can. Yet through all the din, confusion, and mix-up
that is the inevitable “side-kick” of an entering- Fresh»
man class, the instructors bore, up with a fortitude and
sympathetic assistance that was nothing short of angelic.
But the Sophomore class—ah, that’s the fly in the oint—
ment. Their irrepressible sense of humor, coupled with
their overpowering numbers and superior organization,
did, and still do, everything in their power to make a
Freshn‘ian’s life miserable. Having stillercd the indignity
of being “de-pantsed", and being shaved of my four-
weeks old moustache by a Sophomore gang of moronic
tendencies, who, by the way, do no! belong to the Barber’s
Union, I feel that I‘m in a position to speak authentical—
ly on such subjects. Or, to indulge in a poetic relapse:

Last week was a week 01‘ weeks,
with sights a joy to behold,

With Freshies running ’l‘ound in shorts,
in flaring pastels bold.

With moustaches being shaved to left,
us well as to the right.

And to avoid all chance of monotony,
indulgence in a light.

Respectable people, passing by,
are shocked at the sight of such strife.
And with wagging heads are heard to say,
“So this is college life".
Edward J. Pleva.

Lines from Life
Two Indies stopped at a livery stable and asked for
a gentle horse to drive. The liveryman brought out one,
saying: “This horse is perfectly gentle so lone: as you
don’t let the rein get under his tail."
Three hours later they returned. “How did you get
along?" the liveryman inquired.
“Oh, we got along just fine. Had a couple of showers
while we were out, but we took turns holding; t .- parasol

 

‘ over the horse’s tail.”

SPORTS WRITER. (Le/l) PfltROb'
inson says : "Ive been smoking Camels
ever since they were put on the
market. I find they erase that 'done
in' feeling quickly and restore my
‘pcp.’ I smoke at least two packs of
Camels a day and I find that they
never interfere with my nerves."

Murray, F.R.G.S., says: “It's great to
be back! I was in Honduras—Mosqui-
tia Territory— [0 months. Fortunately
I had plenty of Camels. They al‘
ways give me a ‘pick-up’ in energy
when I need it. I prefer Camel‘s
flavor, they never upset my nerves."
