APRIL 16, 1935 The Peace Strike For the past few months, talk about the “peace strike” has been making a stir on college cam— puses throughout the United States. But not a breath of it has been heard at Armour, either be— cause we were inadvertently overlooked by the national organizers, or because our well-known conservatism frightened them off. Now that all is over, we can only examine the, results. and they are a disheartening spectacle in- deed, if the daily press is to be believed. In lead— ing colleges all over the country. the demonstra—, tors were assailed with everything from rottenl eggs to cannon crackers by fellow students whose l Jack: Why, I’ll betcha a buck you won’t even marry » me.

His doctor says he won't be back for three weeks, but we hope it is sooner than that. Our ping’ pong team suffered a defeat in the first part of the match with Delta Tau Delta, but the team premises a comeback in the return match to be played at the house to- morrow evening. We also wish to congratulate Brother DuSell, who was pledged to Sphinx, honorary literary. PHI KAPPA SIGMA Alpha Epsilon chapter of Phi Kap- pa Sigma takes great pleasure in ‘ announcing the pledging of Edward‘ Joseph Donnelly, Arch. '38. With spring in the air, the boys have been playing quite a bit of ball. We played a practice game with the Delta Monday afternoon. Any house wishing to book prac- tice games with us should see Art Marrow right away. Brother Bill Berry, A. E. ’29 dropped in to see the fellows last week. Bro. Berry was formerly with the Missouri Inspection Bureau,. but is now workingr as Engineer in the American Fire Insurance Com- panies. ' DELTA TAU DELTA We wish to congratulate John Davis who was recently pledged to Salamander, honorary Fire Protec- tion Engineering fraternity. Baseball practice has been start- ed and games with other houses are desired. Our ping pong team defeat- ed Beta Psi in the first round of the, intord'ratcrnity tournament finals. The second round will be played Wednesday night. A lame part of our chapter attended the 26th an- nual Delt-Prom which was held at the Bal-Tabarin, Hotel Sherman last Saturday night. Many of the alumni were present. THETA Xl Alpha Gamma of Theta Xi takes pleasure in announcing the pledging of Peter Slug, E. E. '37. The basc~ ball team aided by Bro.

Masson (.I' llio‘, 48th Ward, chairman of the (lilyl Council Committee on 'l‘raii’ic and Public Safety. addressed the Junior chapter cf the Western Society of En. gincers last Thursday cvrnins: on “Limited Wayr—A Plan for the Greater Chicago Traliic Aron." in discussing the problem which is Facing: Chicago at the present time. Mr. Mussen admitted the great mis- takes which have been made in the past because of insufficient knowledge of the true facts. There have been mistakes of location, mistakes 01' con- struction, and mistakes of method. As examples of such errors in Chicago, the speaker mentioned the widening-z: of La Salle St. and Ashland Blvd. Not only did the location of these projects not warrant the sum: of money expended on them, but the ap- preciation of property value ex— pected from them did not material- we. l As a glaring example of a mistake: of construction, Alderman Masscni named a project which is not in Chi- cago, but in New York. The West Side Express highway of that cityl was, in the words of the npcakcr.‘ “built so well that two Twentiethl Century trains could run abreast ol'x each other on the structure and yet not strain it.” Obviously, such over- building‘ is unnecessary when the structure is used exclusively by rub~ bcr tired passenger vehicles, and it results in a tremendous waste of pub. lic funds. - Auto traffic within the city of Chi~ cage and crossing its boundaries reaches the staggering- figure of 429,— 000 vehicles per average business day. This great number, a. great deal elf itl either terminating or passing through i the Loop district, must be handled in such a manner that congestion and accidents are reduced to a minimuml A very low speed limit would hovel the opposite effect on congestion and so must be ruled out. Also, every at- tempt must be made to segregate pedestrian and vehicular traffic to prevent fatali'ies. l The suggested remedy, therefore, after an intensive study by Mr. Mas: son and his committee, is the con. structiun of “limited ways.” These super highways, which would be ele: vated, would radiate from the Loop Tuesday, April if), 1935 mm. “Tl—ill STEAM SHUVEtli The, S camshcvel is conducting- an investigation to determine the identity of the mysterious person who accompanied M’RICE ALEX- ANDER to the RIALTO last Friday.

The discouraging thing about it alll is that the very hundred per cent Americans who are most apprehensive over the survival of Alrneru1 icanism in this case adopted the most un-Ameni ican means at their disposal to express their dis-l approval of another group’s ideas. They usedl> means which are more characteristic of Hitler’s storm troopers than of American R.O.T.C. cadets. Of all the rights guaranteed us by the consti—i tution, of all the characteristics of Americanism,l the right of free thought and free speech is the] finest, the most valuable, and the most to bel treasured. Any attempt to abrogate it by the government would undoubtedly be resisted to thel utmost by all Americans; private groups havel even less than no right to deny this privilege. l, It is interesting to note that nearly all the pre— liminary opposition to the peace demonstration W. create; f th “I ' f f 1 b " meats” was 0 6 am In avor 0 peace myse f, ut-— an.“ ‘\\\\\\\ school of thought.
