It was the day they bundled him up a uniform and marched him off to save the world for DuPont and Democracy. “It was the day he kissed Susie, THE girl, goodbye, polished up his rifle with DuPont syn thetic goose grease and sailed away on a great big battleship camouflaged with DuPont paint. “It was the day he began his career as a sol- dier, which ended when he went over the top of a front-line trench and had his head, the one with , the pink checks, blown off by a DuPont shell. “Neither Amos nor Susie had realized how chemical research had touched their lives that day, or how the ballyhoo and buncombe manu— factured by arms firms would lead to Amos’ ex~ tinction." lug.

' timbre Removals “Home of duke” Believes Players Did Well Commende Stage Stud By A. N. Schrieber Last week Armour’s drama group played up to the student body in their presentation of “The House of Juke.” Luckily Mayor Kelly did not see the show as it was a satirical comedy similar to “Tobacco Road” and was based on the degenerate Juke family of sociological fame. Play Fairly Well Cast All those who took part, portrayed difficult characterizations and did quite well—even though many of their friends claim they were just acting natural. Professor Hendricks, who directed the play, did a remark able job in whipping the cast into shape considering that more than half of the members were freshmen. Especially good were the two who “just lived together”: Jezebel, the mother, played by Lawrence Cuneo, and Sam, the alleged father, played by Ray Dodge.

This amount does not include the activity fees 3‘ ’l‘ * and other departmental fees. Is it fair that those electing to study chemical engineering should have substantial amounts of their $142.50 used for purposes in which all students benefit”! No, it is not! Neither is it fair to the chemical engineering department to take away funds meant for equipment and the laboratories. How many more years must we tolerate this disgust- ing practice? A.T.A.A. constitution first adopted in 1922. Before the vote is taken, every one will have ample opportunity to consider the changes, since the full text of the new form is given in the stu- dent handbook published last week, and all of the «changes are described in this week’s News. It seems likely that most students will agree that the changes are all desirable, and will ratify the new form. Practically all of the changes in the constitu- tion were obviously prompted by changes in con~ vditions at Armour. The “Executive Council," so often referred to in the old form, ceased to exist a number of years ago, and the by—laws providing for a reception committee, a social chairman, and a student publicity director have not been observed in the memory of any student now More Am Science at Armour. , . .

Holding their first meeting, a group of Mechanical Engineering alumni held a smoker last Friday night in the Pi Tau Sigma rooms.
