May 13, 1935 The New Armour All those who take part in tonight’s Open House program, either as students or as friends or the Institute, will probably do so with the thought in the back of their minds that they may ' 6 6? a e a a l i The Silpfiilflifi i Cleave to ”The Slipstick": let 2 l 3 the Slapstick fly where it may. i Woman (telephoning to desk clerk): “There‘s a rat in my room.” Hotel clerk: “Make him come down and register.” :h Bk >l< DEFINITIONS I’edestriau~A man with a wife, daughter, two sons. and a car.

They will wonder, perhaps, just what} the chances are of witnessing another such pro-l :gram in these buildings, and because of the welll known inaccuracies of the daily press, they willl have plenty of food for wild speculation. It would I be well then, to review the possibilities in thei case. There are, first of all, two facts. Armour needs a new plant. President Hotchkiss is determined that Armour shall have a new plant. From these! facts We are not too cock-sure in concluding that 1 Armour will eventually have a new plant.‘ Furthermore. from present indications, there is: a strong possibility that a part, but only a part,l of the operations of the Institute will be taking; place on a new campus next September. It is; highly improbable that the heavy laboratories“ and shops will be moved So soon. On the contrary, 1 the probabilities are that Open House night will: take place again on this campus next May. i it is generally known that Armour now holds, options on some property located at Lake Shore"; drive and Erie street.

M. l hirel‘erniry Notes TRIANGLE Under the able pitching of Bill lBrown we defeated Delta Tau Delta, by a. score of 10 to 8, in interfrater- nity baseball. The game was played last Wednesday at Armour Square. We extend our congratulations to Kappa Phi Gamma, a local fraternity at Northwestern, which is to be in- stalled as another chapter of Trian» gle on May 25. An installation dance will be held at Thorne Hall on May 29. ' DELTA TAU DELTA The thirty-fifth annual May 10 birthday banquet was held last Fri— day evening at the Architects' Club. It was a huge success. There was a. large number of prominent alumni present, including Charles W. Hill, Jr., H. J. Prebensen, the chapter ad- visor, Vice—President of the Air Com— fort Corporation. and member of the Engineering Sales Corporation of Chicago, and 1-1. Berg, Vice-President of the General Electric Air Candi“ tioning Sales Corporation. The hub fol. lunch and beer proved very popl- ‘ular and was followed by entertain— ment and the singing of Fraternity Songs. The Delt baseball team dropped its first tournament game of the season by being nosed out by the score of 10 to 8. The game was fast moving and exciting, but a few costly errors caused the defeat. Tennis season was opened last Saturday for the tennis team. A match was played with the Kappa Delta in which our team showed promise. PI KAPPA PHI Junior Week is with us again, and all the boys are working hard for their parts in the fraternity events. Rho Delta Rho succeeded in de feating us in a hard fought ball game last Wednesday. Brother Dou- dera banged up his knee at the end of the game and is now in the hos» pita]. We are glad to have back with us Brother Johnson. It looks as though an heir for his crutches has been found, but we do hope that Johnny Douderu won’t have to pass them on when he gets through with them. We wish to commend Brother Hampton on his fine acting as Attor- ney General in the “Red Robe” given by the Armour Players. Professor Krathwohl Attends Convention The sixteenth annual meeting of the Illinois section of the Mathemati-l cal Association of America was held May 3 and 4 at the James Millikan University of Decatur, Illinois. Pro- lessor Krathwohl was Armour’s rep- resentative. One of the most interesting prob- , lems heard was an illustrated lecture lon the mathematical problems of Boulder Dam by Professor H. M. Westergaard of the University of Illinois. The problem, one of finding the internal stresses, was solved by I ‘ a set of partial differential equations. Bill Concolino, one of the junior Arx, was elected captain of Ar- mour’s 1936 track team after the last meet of the year. Good luck to you Bill; and we wish you all the success in the world because you deserve it. Eight mentions and two first mentions were distributed among the junior ARX in the judgment of the “Park Buidge” projet. Frank ‘HRACHOVSKY and Joe PFENDT were the recipients of the first men- tions, and they deceive commenda- tion. The boys have no projet to contend with the rest of the semes— ter; but “MAC”, no doubt, will see that they are kept busy with a series of sketch problems. Chick SCHREIBER, that innocent victim of circumstances, was "pinch- ed." again. (Quite a habit). This time it was for “parking without A. little out of your territory isn‘t: it, Chick? Looks had.

Incidentally, these DEATH MASKS are all the rage now; but if you are easily disillusioned don’t have one made, for then you will see yourself as others see you. A much appreciated extension (ml the mode of the present Archasl ology projet was made by Mr. REED, so that its presentation might be comprehensive and also not conflict with the current projets.

The boys arc be- ginning to display the general opin- ion that it won’t be long now. And you can lay any odds that under those laugh hides of theirs and down deep in their HEARTS they’re saying that they’re sorry We to be all over soon. Ralph EDMUNDS, massicr, dropped the hint here recently that the ARX are going to have two all fairs (private) in the very near fu~ tore. One is to be a smoker and the other a banquet. The banquet is about the only meal of the year the ARX wash down without the aid of Ewald KUK’s milk. (We still main- tain that that milk is the STUFF that has kept the ARX halo and hearty for the past three years). (This is not an ’adv.) EAGLE EYE SiWELlNES-w (Continued from page 1) preach. All too frequently the ap- plicant gives as his reason for seek- ing out the prospective employer the opportunities and promotions which he, himself, hopes, to gain through the cortact. Apparently, and oh— viously to the employer, his interest is solely his own goth], and the bene— fits which the employer may receive are merely incidental. When an— alyzed from the viewpoint of the man paying another to do him a service, the successful method of approach is readily seen to be that which ex- tends to the employer a hope for an. interest in his welfare. ‘ THE SPEAKER extended a plan of campaign for the location of a permanent position of the kind to one‘s liking and the. kind in which one might expect success and ad- vancement. The scheme is not with- out parallel, for kindred methods ave been advocated by others of high authority after extended. study of the problem. Smith’s proposal does, however, include some new and unique dliil’erence all of which have a true ring to them. The campaign, the speaker indicated, ought to be- gin with a tabulated and. rated ad- judgment of one’s physical and men- tal abilities, one’s "training and uduptubilities, one’s experience and likes, and the balancing of the sheet for a decision of what position to seck—-—remembering the while that “not many general managers are be- ing hired this year.” It ought to continue through a selection of firms that might need such a man, the ap~ proach to the concern, and the con- tinuous contact of these same peo— ple until the position is gained. A NOTE 0F warning was sound~ cd by Mr. Smith when he advised the group against accepting a job just because it was a job. He in‘ dlicated that any firm unable or un- willingr to offer a rate of pay ap- proximating $125 per momth to a college graduate was at best a poor concern to connect with and such positions ought not to be accepted. He advised—if at all possible the graduate should not be too anxious to take the first opening that he found, but rather, that he exercise judgment in accepting an offer. Exception might well be taken to advice suggesting a selective atti- tude if one gave consideration alone to the rarity with which openings are found in these days of retarded industry. A broader view, taking into account the dleplorably small per cent of college men who do achieve their goal, should be indicative of the wisdom of selection Kahles ls President of Junior Chemicals Chemalumn, the junior chemicals’ organization, held its semiannual election last Wednesday. John Kahles was elected chairman; A. Regan, 0. Zmeskal, and L. Robbie will fill the offices of secretory- treasurer, social chairman, and ath- letic manager. The»: Trustees to decide what shall be done withl rm, Armour, and their annual spring meeting has notl yet been held. Thus there has been as yet no} definite decision to move to Eric street and Lakel Shore drive. Indeed, although he has conductedl an extensive study of the situation and has prefi, pared a brochure explaining the possibilities of i the Lake Front site, President Hotchkiss remains y entirely open to further suggestions. However, to I, an impartial observer, that location appears tot have advantages which no other possesses. i As to a new building, it is hardly to be hoped i that any such project will be begun in the next l THE LATITUDE .
