' By Paul Schultz . THE FAIRLY recent talk which was delivered at Armour concerning the Boulder Dam, has struck a chord within a? saddest body which here— tofore had ‘scaroely‘lieen touched. The talk ~cstelblished~within the group a sincere appreciation and realization of. the usefulness and time defying spirit of the engineering profession. The largest and in many ways the .most difficult feat of engineering and construction is being brilliantly ac- complished during years of depres- sion. At the very time when our «economic life seemed most deranged, we have succeeded in, erecting the largest structure of its kind ever created by man. it is indeed a gal- lant monument to any 'lime and peo- ple. THE DREAM ofvthe engineering profession materialized back as far as Theodore Roosevelt’s time and yet the task is just being completed; Seviet Russia has recently comZ River, Britain hus'huilt in "Egypt on the Upper Nilelmany dams, and all over Europe-«in France, Germany, Spain, and Italy—similar projects are underway or have «been recently completed. Evcmywhere ”L'he'goals are the same. Irrigation, flood control, and the production of electricity are the principal objectives. IN AMEXHCA hard timeswstimu- lated enormously the development of waler resources. We have the great series of dams which ~»composc the Tennessee Valley-project, the Colum- others scarcely less important. The building program, which was bound to come, was hastened by the need to provide jobs and increase buying power. “It is sound economic policy to, provide employment on public works when private employment is slack." Thus the government has been driven to consider every prac- ticable project. WE ARE STILL too close to the incident to measure iis importance and its inevitable effect on the Ameri- can population. The accomplishment is as yet directly before our noses and as ever the world is too “far sighted" to see those things which are of tremendous importance but of recent date. The accomplishments of these new undertakings will unques— tionably create new conditions. Pow- er available from these new hydra» electric plants will influence the loca- tion of numerous industries and affect the growth of population. New towns and cities will arise. Popula- tion to some extent will he redistrib— uted. The availability of tremendous stores of electrical energy produced cheaply in publicly owned hydro- electric plants is a fact which in dustry will have to consider in future years of development. Electricity is a vital part of the changes in these years of transition. We are building mighty monuments and in so doing scaling in motion forces which, dur‘ ing the years to come will influence the conditions under which we and our successors will live. Death Tahoe Widow ofDr. F. W Guarantor; Mrs, Georgiana Long Gu-nsaul- us, widow of Dr. Frank W. Gun— ssulus, the first president of Armour Institute, died early last week in her home at 6020 Woodlawn Avenue.

The question to be decided is whether the concert cught to be held at Armour, in the aesembly hall without charge, or whether it ought to be held downtoWn in the 1 Goodman or in some other theatre; with an admission charge. A third space on the ballot will allow the voter to write in any other alter— native which he may favor. Balloting will be conducted in the lobby of the main building.

Wiretap @rgonizes Aeronautical Club About twenty-five students met last Friday during lunch hour and dis- cussed the possibilities of organiz- ing an Aero Club at Armour. It was reported that Dean liquid has consented to provide a meeting- \ place and any other cooperation. i needed, it enough men are interested I and an organization is formed. It was pointed out that at present little more than organisation and discus- sion could be attempted as the se~ mester has proceeded too far. The object of the club’s activities come up for considerable discussion. Three possible directions of endeavors “were brought up, bulldinwhnd ,llcsiirn work, discussion and theory, and flight training. As the greater part of those present were interested pri- marily in the first two, Professor Wells suggested that the club he . formed with the idea of combination i of the two to satisfy everyone. l In the matter of building, a glider seemed do be the most satisfactory with perhaps a light plane later on. The Dean has offered the use of the lshops for work. i It was shown that discussions and i talks offer the most opportunity for {learning of (theory. Well known ' speakers could be obtained to talk 1 before the group. i Another meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 12, at one o’clock in _ “D” Mission. All interested are in- ; vited to attend. i l l Phi Lambda Upsilon Announces Noticing After a laboratory examination to {test the manipulative skill of its candidates, Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary chemical fraternity, pledg— ed five men in the Tau Beta Pi rooms last Tuesday. Three of them, P. Henoch, A. Highman, and C. A. Schnackel are seniors while the two juniors are A. Rulis and L. Siegel, The candidates had first been sub— jected to a written examination on March 25, and were then given the laboratory tests Ibefore being pre- sented with their litmus—colored red and blue ribbons. Freshmen having difficulties with filtration and precip— itates may take heart when they con- sider that one of the eminent senior chemicals found four trials necessary before he could manipulate a wash bottle so as to get the desired stream of water.

The newl elected marshal and his assist t one from each department, will o ‘ cintc in the annual Junior"chk, t be held this year from May 13 to Assistant marshals,» who previou 1y have been appointed by the ma shal or marshals elected by the class, were this your elected at meetings of the individual departments. following men were selected: R. Knaus, E.E.; J. E. Linden, 0. E4; Paulsen, Ch. 13.: G. A. Quandec, P. E.; and H. J. Sumner, M E. The department of architecture has not yet elected its representative, but will meet either today or tomorrow for that purpose. For the past two years there have been three marshals, besides the as— sislants, but the present junior class decided that concentration of the_ authority in the hand or one man . would be more advantageous than the previous system. A majority vote for one candidate was required and on the second ballot Peterson was choser‘u. There are no definite plane at pres»- l cut, but the staff of marshals are con~ isidering the continuation of the for— imer activities of the annual event. [Open House night, lhc spring con- ‘ cert, circus stunts, and the usual nth.- letic events are fairly certain to be included, with other novel features decided upon later. The dance which was held last year on Open House night will be repeated. The Junior—Senior pushball con» . test, which resulted in the injury of one of the contestants last year, may be replaced by a tugwof-war, a re— lay race, or some similar event. information Bulletin 1 [3 Being Distributed l i Copies of the general information number of the Armour Tech Bulle- tin of May, 1935 are now being dis- tributed at the registrar‘s office. The bulletin is out earlier than i usual this year because of the deple— l tion of last year’s supply. Seventy“ i five hundred copies have been printed i for the presentation of accurate in— 1formation to students and prospec~ i tivc students. Two minor changes have been made—«shop courses are included and the student directory has been omitted. Mechanical and electrical engineer- ing courses have engineering shop, consisting of one hour lecture and three hours of shop each week; in- cluded in the curricula of junior and senior years. One subject in mechan- ical engineering has been eliminated and the time of some other courses has been reduced so as to accommo- date the shop courses without im- portant changes in classroom hours. The list of attending students has been omitted for the reason that the school will publish next fall a sepa» rate booklet containing the names, addresses, and telephone numbers ol’ all students as well as faculty mem— bers. A booklet similar to this, but ,containing only the names and ad» dresses of faculty members was pub— lished last year. Other schools have found the separate directory more useful and satisfactory. Alpha his Sigma Adds Two Men to Roster, Having already pledged several sophomores and juniors, Alpha Chi Sigma, national professional chemi— cal fraternity, on Monday of last week pledged two sophomores, Her- man Baueumeistcr and Harry Bliss. The new men who had been intro— duced to the alumni members at a smoker held at the Beta Psi house, were then introduced to their new duties, and rapidly discovered the new chemical method of removing wall paper in the new rooms which the fraternity has secured at 3339 iFederal street.
