ARMOUR TECH NEW’S

To Lay Plans for
Honorary Banquet

Plans for the Interhonorary han-
quet are to be formulated this week
by Richard D. Armsbury, president
of the Interhonorary Council. The
banquet, a high point in the social
life of all the honorarics, is usually
held just prior to the Christmas holi—
days. It is expected that a similar
date will be selected this year.

Plan Program and Menu

The program and the menu are to
be taken care of by Armsbury and
by the Interhonorary Council, which
is composed of the presidents of the
various departmental honoraries as
well as of the literary and musical
honor societies. The preparations in-
clude the selection of the hall, prepa-
ration of a menu and the develop-
ment of an interesting program of
events, which include speakers, pre-
ferably humorous, and the introduc-
tion of the new pledges.

Council Also Gives Dance

The other social event of great im-
portance that is sponsored by the In-
terhonorary Council is the annual in-
ter-honorary dance, a high light of
the spring social season that general-
ly proves to be its greatest attraction
for the interbonorary men.

Last year the banquet was held in
a private dining room of the Medinah
Athletic Club and the dance, an in~
formal affair, at the Shoreland Hotel.
Both events were very well attended
and offer a good example for this
year‘s Intcrhonorary Council.

Although Honor “A" is not repre-
sented on the Council, members of
this organization are allowed to at.
tend the interhonorary dance.

 

Hoosiers Gripe Over

Losing of Sleep Also»j

 

As the fall semester swings intoE

the stretch, the majority of Univer-
sity students find themselves attemptm
inc: to follow in the footsteps of the
late Thomas Edison, who found that
he could make four or five hours
sleep a night suffice without feeling
any ill effects. His biographer-s tell
us that the great inventor often went
for days without actual sleep, es-
pecially during those periods when he
was intrigued with the possibilities
of a new invention.

Despite drastic changes in otner
medical beliefs in the past quarter
century, physicians for the most part
continue to advocate eight hours of
sleep seven days a week for the aver-
age person. Douhtless the recommend-
ation has its merits, but if it were
to be taken seriously on this campus
it would mean that the majority of
us are jeopardizing our health by re-
maining in the University, for how
many of us find eight hours a night
to devote exclusively to slumber? .

There are but three solutions to the
problem of time to sleep confronting
the student. Either the days must he
lengthened to more than 24 hours,
participation in extra-curricular af~
fairs and social life suspended, or less
studying done. The first two seem to
be equally impossible; the third has
been used for years. Imagine wasting
one-third of each day in a state of
unconsciousness! Can the doctors be
wrong? It is certain that we will not
forget soon the way in which Edison
so brazenly flouted the physicians’
creed and then exhibited such an
astounding resistance to ill health at
the age of 80 years.

The big; football tournamemi
progressed during the last week with
the result that the field is now nar-
ro‘wed down to two senior teams,
four junior, and three sophomore
teams. Due to a lack of interest
shown by freshmen (excuse, perhaps
they are still a trifle shy) there is
an absence of freshman entries.

Inclement weather interfered
with a few of the games last week
but the non—rained out games re-
sulted in the following:

LAST WEEK’S RESULTS
Sr. M. 15.....30 Sr. F.P.E.,... (S
Soph. M. E.. .30 Soph. E.E.. .. 0
Sr. Ch.E.. . . .18 Soph. C.E.. .. 6

The senior M. E’s defeated the
F. R’s in an easy win. The F. P.
team due to their upsetting" the
senior juicers were scheduled to
9;ch the mechanic-ah: quite a con«
test but were very capably squelch-
‘ed. The soph M. E. pushed the soph
E. EH; around and come in with
another of the wcck—a-way variety
of wins.

Last but not leastwthc senior
schmiers managed to put a team on
the field (which is a feat in itself)
and what’s more they won. This isn’t
speaking very highly for the soph
C. E.‘s, the victims.

SCHEDULED GAME

Payment of Athletes
Suggested on Coast

The suggestions of 3. Stanford
Daily editor, that coast athletes be
reoomponsed for time lost in train-

iine. was received with a shrug of

the shoulders by Prof. W. Owen,
president of the coast conference.
The suggestion was made in refer-
ence to football players wnu donatu
all their spore time to long gruelling-
practice periods.

Professor Owen explained that this
was an old, old story which is brought
by the editors at least once every
year who feel that the athletes are
entitled to some compensation for the
loss of possible employment during
training hours. He also pointed out
that athletes in every coast institu-
tion were receiving some form ol.’ fi-
nancial support.

10:30—Soph. Ch. E. vs. Soph. F.P.l;,
ll:30—«Sr. Ch. E. vs. Sr. M. E.

Last week's rainy spell made our
touchball stars stay on the sidelines
but it did not appreciably dampen the
enthusiasm of the men. This week
should bring to light the powerhouse
teams and push out the weaker ones.
There should be but four or five
teams remaining: in the tournament
next week so that the finals will be
run oil" well before Thanksgiving.

ball aspirants will he held on that
date. Immediately following, the
squad will hold its preliminary worlo
outs in the gym. After the squad is
cut the survivors will adjourn to thc
armory to get in trim for the scat-ion.

 

 

Mugs Train for
Heavy Schedule

Boxing and wrestling prospects
are looking better for the current
season if they can be judged by the
number of enthusiasts that have rc-
spondcd to the call. To date, forty
wrestlers are listed including the
entire contingent from last year.
Ton of the recruits are freshmen
and all of the new men are, in the
opinion of Coach Weissman, a good
background on which to build a
winning team.

The boxing: team was less for-
tunate this year with only two of.
last year’s men returning. The new
men are freshmen and sophomores,
a total of thirty aspirants. The new
candidates are. for the most part, in
the heavier weight divisions and
Coach Weissman. has issued a plea
for men in the lighter weights, pre-
ferably 135 pounds.

Workouts Well Attended

The most exceptionzil thing about
this year’s practice is the number
of men that are present at each
workout. At least forty men turn
out to grunt and groan where form~
erly there were less than half that
number.

Tentative schedules have been ar-
ranged by both boxing and wrest-—
ling; team managers. The wrestling
team plans to meet Wheaten, De~
Kalb, North Central, and two or
three Y. M. C. A. squads. The box-
ing squad hopes to schedule De
Paul, a number of Y. M. C. A.
teams, and Loyola university if that
school will enter competition this
year. The team will wind up the
season with the yearly contest
against Culver Military Academy.
