MAXIMUM WAGE is $35
‘ Under: the provisions of} the Na,-
tional‘ Youth Administration for
‘F‘éderar college Student Aid, ‘which

many students at Armour Institute

 

     

“ Dr.

 

 

of Technology will be enabled to
work during the coming. scholastic
year on projects that are socially do»
sirable. Those students desiring such
work may obtain applications in the
Registrar's Office.

The selection of students for this
work is to be based on four condi-
tions prescribed «by the N. Y. A.
These conditions are: 1. Need of
such aid; 2. Character and ability to
do college work; 3. Status of at-
tendance; 4. Age of students to be
between 16 and 25 years.

According to the N. Y. A. students
may work a maximum of 30 hours
in a given week—8 hours in a given
day and shall be paid on an hourly
”oasis at the hourly-rate commonly
paid by the institution—forty cents
at Armour. The N. Y. A. also stipu-
lates that “an individual student dur-
ing a calendar month may earn not
more than $20."

However, since there are so many
applicants for this work at Armour,
the pay of $15 per month will be the
maximum allowed. In order to be
within the $15 per month limit the
student must not work more than
thirty-seven and one half hours per
month. The prescribed limit of 30
hours per week or 8 hours per day,
is to guard against the student
neglecting his studies by working too
long in a given week.

A special feature of this year’s
Federal. aid over that of the past, is
that additional funds will be made
available for part-time employment
of graduate students and Negro stu-
dents. Thos, a student in the first
year of graduate study may receive
a maximum of $20 per month, ($15
per month at Armour) and also sup—
plementing aid to the extent of $10
per month, for part—time work.

Students who have already com-
pleted one full year of graduate
study are eligible for an average pay
of $30 a month—a maximum of $40
for any given month—as well as the
$20 per month maximum available
to college students on the college aid
program.

Also, because of the present lim-
ited possibilities of graduate work
facilities for Negro students in cer-
tain areas, the N. Y. A. will reserve
a limited fund for the special en—
couragement of Negros who have
already completed one‘full.year of
graduate study. ‘ ‘

However,‘ since Armour does not
provide any graduate courses more
than one year in length, the aid de—
scribed in the last two paragraphs
will not be available for students at
Armour.

Meetings in @ct.

Rushing ofl" to a flying start, the
Junior Engineers of the Western So—
ciety of Engineers will hold the first
society meeting of the year in room
1200 in the Engineering Building,
205 W. Wacker Drive at 7:00 p. in.
Thursday evening, October 3. The
meeting will be addressed by the
president of the senior Western So~
cie-ty of Engineers, Mr. Frank Fowle.

he could devote his timeto travel
and historical research in the field
of engineering.

Several Armour men now hold ex—

Faculty Attends
S. P. E. E. Meeting

At the convention of the Society
for the Promotion of Engineering
Education held in Atlanta last sum-
mer, Armour was represented by Dr.
Hotchkiss, Dean Heald, and Profes-
sors Finnegan and McCormack. Both
Hotchkiss and Professor Mc-
Cormack delivered addresses, the
former on social science in engineer—
ing schools, and the latter on equip~
merit for the college chemical engi-
neering laboratory and on the dc-
sirability of laboratory text books in
chemical engineering.

In his address, Dr. Hotchkiss
pointed out the close connection be—
tween engineering ‘and social and
economic considerations, to illustrate
“chancedfor‘ social science courses in
engineering curricula. His paper de-
veloped six requirements for social
science material to be used in engi-
neering schools. They are, first, that
it be relavent to an engineering edu-
cation, second, that it be capable of
stimulating intellectual curiosity,
third, that it give opportunity for
discipline in accurate reasoning,
fourth, that it include subject matter
concerning which definite action is
contemplated as a result of study
and analysis, fifth, that it challenge
the instinct of workmanship, and
sixth, that it be sufficiently flexible
to give scope to varying capacities
and interests of individual students.

'Professor McCormack, illustrating
his talk on laboratory equipment
with examples from Armour’s lab,
gave an outline of the requirements
to be met and the methods of design—
ing equipment to meet them.

There was once a day who
ics were taken not so serio_ liy ‘
Armour Tech and in that day the
teams produced were very consis‘tJ
out with the sports attitude. And,
what’s more, a school with dignity:
surrendered its front to compete
with the Techmen. Or maybe it uset
our forbears as schedule “meat“
y‘know—filler.

Now in that day, Armour teams
could be made up of men from all
four college years. Without any‘
a few professors could enteruthc
lists. Even Stan Livingstone, and
some of the “Student Union" wait-
rcsses might have taken up the fight
for Tech.

(I:

   
 

Ah yes. VB'ut that‘fl'was long ago;

'Long, long ago in fact! For as time
went, the day of athletically minded
engineers came. and of course with
the attitude, came the talent, and
Armour would win games now and
then. For instance, in basketball,
Tech has humbled Maroon quintets
for three years. A your ago Tech
came out even in home and home
games on the diamond with North~
wo:tern and Chicago. With schools
more in its class Armour has easily
held its own. Well, the profs and
such were frowned out soon, we
suppose, and now they cast oli’ some
more. A freshman ruling, or play
in your own yard! Which is no fun.

For the first time, Tech freshmen
are not eligible to make a varsity
team. Going to sound silly branding
squads “fresh” or “varsity." How~
ever Armour teams will receive no

  
 

new strength this season—«that’s

' bad, especially after graduation has

thinned the sports ranks so irnpres~
,m‘vely'.‘

4 In: looking the situation over,
basketball, first and foremost in the
*vtinfdhlists, did not do too badly.
£hreo,,“major” men have gone, ne’er
to return, but four regulars are
back. Clo—captains Dollenmaier and
Warner, and Heike and Merz are the
lottermen. The fifth man will be ac-

' lected from the host of basket stars

among the upperclassmcn who fonu
got to. make the team last sea»
son! (’3) '

The wrestlers are still sitting pret-
ty and ' Hex-m Sumner

 
 

wimming, however needs help. Four
lettcrmcn gone and a weak team is
phactically wobbly. It is reported
that many men took advantage of
summer tuition at the U. of C. pool.
Here’s hopin'.

Then again, the whole tennis
squad graduated, golf faired fifty--
fifty. Track just lost a couple of
men, but wotta loss! George Nelson
and John Roberts were a real track
team. Not such a nice year to wel-
come a new coach.

As yet, the A. ’l‘. A. A. has not
definitely announced uproot-am for
the barred frosh, but it is likely that
freshmen teams—at least in major
sports—”will see some activity with
other schools. Some talk of a fresh-
men basket ball coach has been
nosed around and the outstanding

 

 

 

possibility is Ray Pflum, star guard
of two years ago.

Professor Elise i

Walter John Bentley, an alumnus
and assistant professor at Armour,
died July 11, 1935 at the John E.
Murphy hospital after a year's illness
resulting from an accident in which
he fractured his kneecap in the
spring of 1934.

Professor Bentley was born in Chi—
cago on April 28, 1897. After
graduating from Loyola Academy he
entered Notrc Dame University,
where he studied one year. In 1917
he entered Armour and completed
the course in chemical engineering to
graduate with the class of 1920. He
submitted a senior thesis on the al—
loys of nickel and nickel oxide.

Vii/as lnctructur After Graduation

After his graduation Professor
‘Bentley remained at Armour as ill--
structor in general chemistry. He
received the degree of chemical engi-
neer in 1925 when he submitted a
thesis entitled “The Formal Use of
‘ Inspection Trips in the Teaching of
Chemical Engineering.” In the same
year he was appointed assistant pro~
lesser of chemical engineering, talc

tion until the college year-1933~1934
when he left because of illness.

At Armour he had been a member
of Beta Psi (now Pi Kappa Phi) and
the honorary chemical fraternity,
Phi Lambda Upsilon. As a member
of the faculty he was instrumental
in the reorganization of the chem-
ical club, Flask and Beaker, as a
chapter of the professional chemists‘
fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma, becom-
ing one of the charter members.

Professor Bentley also belonged
to thc American Chemical Society, of
which he was treasurer of the Chi—
