@nly Three Days Till Fresh Dance Armour’s social season of 1935 will be continued this Friday night, Feb~ ruary 22, with the Freshman-Soph— omore Engineer's Hop. The dance this, year will be held in the Ba] Tabarin of the Hotel Sherman, one of the fin- est ballvrooms in the city, capable of accommodating over 375 couples. Dancing will be fmm 9:30 to 1:30. Maurie Sherman to Play Maurie Sherman, the singing-vio- linist, and his splendid orchestra are to play. They have been engaged in the Collge Inn for'some time and may often be heard entertaining over the Columbial'Broadcasting System. The orchestra features the singing of Joe Plodlke, whose unusual type of sing- ing has made him an outstanding fav. orite in the entertainment world. Also entertaining the dancers will be Kay clan, assisting the' musicians with her distinctive voice. There is no doubt that the rhythmic and beautiful music will please everyone. In addi- tion to the fine dance music, the Col- lege Inn floor show will present their excellent program. Committees Work Hard 1 Stanley Healy, freshman social chairman, and Orcste Tcmei, sopho— more chairman, with the assistance l of their committees, have been instru- mental in arranging this brilliant event. ' The members of the freshman com— mittee are W. Chelgren, H. Downing, M. Hodes, F. Roder, and G. Stober. The sophomore committee consists of R. Bacci, F. Davidson, D. Forberg, G. Starmann, and 1. Thunder. These ten men have worked hard under the direction of the chairmen to make the affair a, success. Bids for the dance, which will sell for $2, should be. obtained as soon as possible in order that the seating: ar- rangements for the tables, which will all be reserved. can be definitely com- pleted. The novel and interesting fea— tures of the affair, one of the finest in the history of Armour, will all go toward making the dance a great suc- cess. Many New Students in Second Semester Reports from the office of the reg- istrar, Mr. Kelly, indicate a larger number of new students than was an- ticipated. The greater proportion of new registrants were freshmen, though a few were upperelassmcn. As new students are still being enrolled, exact figures as to the enrollment are not available, but the approximate number of students is 760, of which forty are new men. Students sign up at the office of Mr. Kelly. He then sends the list to the treasurer, Mr. Allison, who holds the cashier’s ofl’ice responsible for tuition fees for that number of stu- dents. The cashier‘s ofi‘ice must then account for each new student. In this way an accurate check is made. Facultinlozl’) Elects Freeman President Professor E. H Freeman was elected at the close of last semester to head the faculty club for the com- ing year. The meeting, which was held in the club rooms, was presided over by Professor John Schommer. The complete list of officers for the coming year is as follows. Pro- fesso1s E. H. Freeman, president; J. F. Marigold, first vice president; . A. Spencer, second vice-president; W. B. Lockling, secretary; and J. S. Thompson, treasurer. The former comptroller of the Institute, Mr. F. U. Smith, was elected honorary presi- dent. The nominating committee was composed of Professors J. B. Finne- gan, D. E. Richardson, D. Roesch (chairman), S. M. Spears, and C. A. Tibbals. By R. R. Johnson NEVER IN THE world’s history, has there been such'widespread in- terest in world afl’airs as the‘r‘eris to— day. The questions of government, the rights of man,,_“social justice," world peace and many others, if they are not actually being thought about in the truest sense of the word, are at least 1n the minds of common men everywhere. In the United States in particu- lai',.whe1'e there is so little restric- tion on the free interchange of ideas, we find nearly every man holding an opinion on nearly everything. Every old political or social scheme that has ever been thought of, and many new ones, appear to have their proponents. ALL THIS SEEMS to point to the conclusion. that we live in a greatly enlightened world, and when we con- sider the progress which Science has made in revealing the secrets of the universe, there can apparently be no doubt of it. But there is one thine,F that, some- how, fails to fit into the picture; that. is the 'very tenacity with which men hold to their opinions. Every one has his ideas, and every one is sure that his and his alone are right! How can they be so certain? IN THE FIRST place, it seems to me that in almost anything, the very fact that other people held different ideas from one‘s own would cause at least a little less certainty. To be only slightly considerate of the beliefs of others hardly seems; to require an in- feriority complex. Many, it is true, take a tolerant attitude; “Let him think as he will, as long as he doesn’t interfere with me,” they say. But may I humbly point out that the mere existence of ideas different from our own is an interference, for it allows at least a possibility that our own may be wrong. CONSIDERING THE matter from another view point, we might remem— her that, since the beginning of time, the only thing that has been certain in the world is that everything will change. Ideas that once were scoffed at have come to be generally ac- cepted, and, still later, to be scoffed at again. That time can actually prove any- one right or wrong I am inclined to doubt, for the very standards of what is right and what is wrong, at least in regard to such matters as government, are lost in that same fog of varying opinions. But it cer« tainly is true that there will come a time when what is most solid and established today will be no more.

A free bid to Armour institute of Tech ARMMR glilmfillvlug Bidet. l: Repression ted ltllllii not a rallies than Assembly Thursday is Result of Senioro’ Request MEETlNG AT 10:30 Next Thursday, Armour students will be privileged to hear Dr. Pres- ton Bradley, the man who three years ago gave, in the opinion of Dean I-Ieald and many seniors, the finest Washington's birthday address in the history of Armour. In fact, it was at the specific request of these many seniors that Dean Heald invited Dr. Bradley to speak. The assembly will occur Thursday morning, February 21, at 10:30. Educated in Michigan Dr. Preston Bradley has been paSv tor of the Peoples’ Church since 1912. He was born of farmer parents in 1888, and was raised in Michigan. He attended Alma (Michigan) Col— lege for one year, and studied law for the remaining three years at Flint, Michigan, finally taking his de» gree as Doctor of Civil Law at the University of Chicago. Dr. Bradley married in 1915. He has been a member of the Board of, Directors of the Chicago Public Li— brary since June, 1925; he is a mem~ ber of the Illinois State Teachers Col- lege and Normal School Boards; :1 life member of the Art Institute of Chicago; and a member of the Izaac Walton League of America, of which he was president in 1930.

While Dr. Bradley’s address will be the principal feature of the pro— gram, the musical clubs will also par- ticipate. Members of the musical clubs will be excused from classes at 10:00 a. 1n. Players Go Feminine m ”‘Dresa Reversal” Necessary arrangements for the “Dress Reversal,” which is slated to be presented on February 28, are well under way. The play is a farce concerning the production of a mys- tery play and disclosing the trials and ‘trivialations’ of a group of amateur actors during rc- hearsals. Half of the comedy in the play will be due to the players try~ ing' to impersonate females grace- fully. A small charge of ten cents will be made to help defray some of the expenses. “The Bear,”ywhich was also on the program, has been cancelled be« cause of lack of time to prepare it: However, it will be presented at oi later date. i Goodyear interviews Armour Students Here Mr. T. W. Prior, in charge of the Salary Personnel Department of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, interviewed ten Armour seniors here on Saturday, February 9. Six mechanicals and four chem— icals were the ten whom Mr. Prior contacted from 9:30 to 12. The group first heard a talk illu— strated with pictures. In the talk Mr. Prior spoke of the Goodyear plants in different cities and the work done in one of these plants. AS the storyof Goodyear is almost en- tirely the story of the tire, the dif- ferent processes involving the pro— duction of a tire were dwelt upon. Later each senior was interviewed separately. The purpose of these in- terviews is to select men to enter Goodyear’s training school for young: men, called the "Flying Squadron." the party held last Saturday, was given as a reward for his efforts. No result of the interviews was an» nounced. nology, Chicago, lllinois otrillumai financil A regional conference of the Amer- ican Alumni Council, District V, was held at the U. of C. on February 1-2 in the Judson Court lounge, as a sup‘ plement to the national convention to be held in Washington, D. C. April 3-6. The men and women who carry out the work of alumni associations at their respective schools were present at this two—day conference. Schools of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin were represented. Armour Institute was represented by Profes- sor D. P. Moreton, Professor John J. Schommcr, and W. N. Setterberg. The main topic of discussion for the first day was “Getting,r Them and Keeping Them,” a problem of mem» bership. The two common problems presented by alumni associations were getting correct information of mem- bers and collecting does. It was sug" gested that unemployed graduates pursue these problems for fair remun- eration. Other suggestions included alumni magazines, certificates of membership, and reduced prices for alumni interested in school activities. A discussion on “Mouthpiece of the Association," meaning an alumni magazine, was the important event of the second day. The American Alumni Council is of especial interest to college students, particularly those who are nearing; the time of graduation. This organ- ization promotes interest for college work and activity in the alumnus in both national and “alma-mntcr” alum‘ ni affairs. All alumni soon realize the advantages of such connections. German Club to Hear hectare on Duehring Professor l-lanns Fischer will do— liver a lecture on Eugen Duehrinzr, Germany’s most versatile genius, Thursday at 10:30 in F Mission. Duo- hring, as well as Robert Mayer, were ridiculed and labeled insane in spite of the fact that many of Germany’s leading scientists borrowed their ideas from them. This lecture will be in English, and will replace the activities of the German Club for the hour. The members of the German club are ordinarily required to con- verse in German. Professor Fischer owns most of Duehring’s books. These books are not allowed to be printed and are worth from twenty to thirty dollars per copy. On January 27, the German Kaiser’s birthday, Professor Fischer spoke before the congregation of St. Paul’s Church. Professor G. L. Scherg'er had invited him to tell of his participation in the late war and the revolution which followed. Over 300 people attended the lecture. Musical Clubs Have Full Schedule Planned After a short timely rest, the Ar- mour Tech Musical Clubs will again resume their activities in and out of the Institute. A few numbers will be rendered at the assembly on Feb— ruary 21 and this will be followed by an engagement at Park Ridge the next day where only a few of the group will take part. There are also concerts scheduled for March 8 and 22, and April 6. The final arrange ments are not completed as yet but will be announced in a short time.
