Academic Freedom “Uh-hm-lw thought he was."
As a precaution against fire, a rule of the In—
stitute forbids smoking in the buildings, except

in the Student Union. In spite of the obvious
reasonableness of this regulation, there has been,
an increasing disregard of it lately, perhapsi (0
through forgetfulness, but certainly not through}
any feeling against the justice of the rule.

Armour students do, in fact, enjoy an excep-l
tional freedom from official regulation, more so,
than they realiie. If they were a little more con-1
scious of their freedom, they might be a little
more proud of it; although with all their un—
awareness, there is evidence for the assertion,
that the majority of them will react very strong~
ly to any abuse of their privileges by a few.

The dramatic performance presented recently
by the Armour Players was received by the audi—
ence in a perfectly normal and gentlemanly man— ‘
ner, which is as it should be. But in several pre-
vious performances this was distinctly not the
case. The change, while attributable to the com—
bination of a number of influences, was due in . . _

The latest “Relays” was the largest and per—l,
haps the best of the whole series, and it leaves}
us all with the feeling that the meet is not only3
a going, but a growing proposition, whose im—l
portance to Armour Institute, already great, is
due to increase with the years. In particular,
there is one point about the relays which hasl
not been mentioned before, although many stu—‘
dents, have, perhaps, remarked it. This year’s.
meet received quite a bit more notice in the daily
press than has been the case in other years. The
increase was due, almost directly, to the efforts
of Leroy Beckman, student publicity director, cage and the Middle West are not going to g0
and to the wisdom of the school administration unappreciated, that better things are in store
in creating that office. Publicity is now a rec- for us. In this we have faith, and faith is a

Primarily interested in the steam
portion of the plant, the two men are
ccnsidering‘ the cheapest and most
efl'icient means of producmg‘ the
steam for the power. Deisel and gas
engines have been eliminated as pos-
sible machines for use because coal
is much cheaper. With the size of
the turbines selected, the sizes of the
boilers and auxiliary units are de-
,termincd. At this stage the size of
" e units, piping, buildings, and other
essentials must be calculated. Of
course the drawings are made and re-

vised as: the design proceeds.

initiated into the Campus Clulb. The

It’s an ultra-short wave radio telephone antenna—before
being raised above the dunes of Cape Cod.

For some years, Bell System engineers have been studying
ultra-short waves. They have developed automatic trans-
mitters and receivers which may be connected with regular
telephone lines at points far from central oifices. They hope
such radio links will be useful in giving telephone service
to points difficult to reach
by usual methods.

T he installation on Cape
Cod-«which is now under—
going service tests—«is just
one more example of Bell
System pioneering in the

 

public interest.
