At Drake University (Des Moines )a class in radio broadcasting has
recently been conducting a thorough investigation into the sound of kisses.
They discovered the best way to indicate a kiss over the radio was by kiss-
ing the back of the hand. Which cut out radio as a field for the “pursuit

of happiness."

Ex’tra Policeman to
Patrol Armour Beat

Additonal police protection has
been provided for Armour students
since Friday, Sept. 27. An extra
policeman has been assigned to a
beat on Thirty—third street between
Wentworth avenue and Michigan
Boulevard. This officer is on duty
between 4 P. M. and 10:30 P. M.
each night. A squad car also pa-
trols this area. The school is anxi-
ous to cooperate with the police, and
therefore requests students to report
any disturbances to Mr. G. S. Alli»
son, treasurer. If both the Institute
authorities and the police are noti-
fied immediately after any disturb-
ance, Armour students will be sure
of more effective protection.

Mint Season Upening

 

Armour’s wrestling team will be
consideerly reinforced this year if
the enthusiasm and number of men
that turned out for last Monday's
meeting is any indication. The new
men were welcomed by Coach Weiss-
man and plans for the season’s com-
petition were discussed. The sched—
ule of intramural competition will
be completed shortly and will be
published in the News. Freshmen
aspirants, due to the new ruling, will
only be entered against schools not
having a similar ruling and in ex-
hibition bouts. Although the turn—
out of last Monday was gratifying,
Coach Weissman has issued a call
for more men, especially in the light
weight classes. Practices are sched-
uled for live o’clock every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

Confident of Good Season
Additional reason for the optimis‘
tic attitude this year is the fact that.
all of last year’s regulars, with the
exception of Robert Hells, in the
118 pound class, are back. Herman
Sumner will lead the team this year
with H. S. Majercik in the man-
agerial capacity. Ray Peterson in the
heavyweight division and Sumner,
Kreml, Schmidt, Patterson, Dunne,
and McDaniel in decreasing weight

classes will be this year’s team.
