This, all under the guidance of Professor W. Hendricks who, because of more pressing affairs has relin- quished his connection with the players. During their period under Professor Hend- ricks who has been with them the full time, the players have presented a number of mentionable performances which have been received more or less indifferently by the students. The record of these need not be mentioned here; suffice it to say that the players at one time had the large curtain taken down and cleaned, and now they have pur- chased a new drop curtain. All equipment has been at the disposal of the student body. Under the new sponsor, they expect to continue to im- prove the quality of their productions and to add, little by little to their inventory. May the play tomorrow be the best yet and may the new di— rector, Mr. Fulghum, be as proud of the organ- ization as was Professor Hendricks. On behalf of the students of Armour, the News wishes to express its deep sympathy with Ray- mond A.

STUDENT “PW“ J | nun: saws Voice of a Glee Club Member gagements of the clubs have not been - To the Editor: hurt in the 1935‘ by Saturday night The Seniors have finally been To a mere member of the Glee Club of Armour, it would seem that the affairs of the Club should be ad. ministered by the members thereof or by the duly elected officers. Any interference from a source which is ignorant of the circumstances sur. rounding an action which had the approval of the organization, must naturally be resented. Whether this interference is due to a natural con— servative element or to a selfish urge ‘is open to question, but beside the point. The fact remains that two progres- sive steps made by the Clubs in re- cent months have been blocked by the editorial staff of the News. First—the downtown Spring Cons cert, which was finally given after abandoned last year. Needless to say, the concert was an unqualified success. It gave prestige to the club, as well as providing the wherewithal to expand the activities of the clubs to neighboring cities. There is no reason why the musical clubs could not be on a plane with those of larger schools and become more of a credit to this one. Such would be the effect of thus building a name. The editorial in News seemed decidedly ill-timed, if not superfluous. The objections raised were foreseen by the body concerned and cognizance was tak- en of these facts before approval was asked. If the club has raised no objections, why should anyone else? As for the school concert on the fol» lowing Wednesday—~the Sunday on last week’s dates. Instead of objections, why not co. operation from the News? Charles W. Modersohn, '38. To That Certain Editorial Writer Dear Sir: As a member of that “most prom— inent organization”, the subject of one of your latest editorials, I wish to criticize your unwarranted attack on the “organization” and its 01'- ficers. May I remind you, sir, that this “organization”, the Glee Club, is as much a part of Armour as any other group on the campus. The members of the Glee Club are not from one class, not from one depart. ment, nor do they consider but one interest; the members of this Club represent all classes, all departments. and consequently could not show such utter disregard for the interests of their fellow classmates as you in- ferred in your editorial. When the “out-of.town” concert was proposed to the Club, the mem- bers were given time to offer objec- lions. None were offered! Then, and only then, the proposal was voted .upon and passed. The Club had no desire to offend. As you know, sir, the editorial has a great dignity, a great power which does much to influence the trend of common thought and opinion. One to whom this great dignity and power has been entrusted should be careful as to how he uses it. If one desires to be just, he must be certain that his criticism is, primarily, just. Bob Duffy, ’38. straightened out and they are now doing the Ryerson prize comeptition. PFENDT and VIEHE—NAESS have been selected to represent the depart- ment in said competition. Good luck, boys. The Seniors were fortun- ate to have Mr. MARX, a residential architect, speak to them on remodel- ing in general. Well, Bill CONCOLINO finally went and did it. Yes sir, he finished his summer problem . . . Leo Van SCOYOC came through with a First Mention on his arches, which was composed of details from buildings by Louis SULLIVAN . . . Juniors are now reading “Kindergarten Chats” by Sullivan. in Ted HOFMEESTER'S culture class. It’s great stuff . . . LISCHER and A. SCHREIEER again received a Mention Commended apiece on the recent modeling project, a. “Radio” . . . In the Sophomore Freehand judgment, SCUBIC was awarded a First Mention for his fine set of drawings. Seems that Hank LUHMILLER' will just have to cut out blowing his whistle. The policemen on the drive cannot see the humor in the fact that Hank’s whistle sounds just like theirs. Maybe there’s too much com- petition. Even Sholto SPEARS is against Hank, for when Hank brought the latest Spicy magazine Sholto tool: it away; he won’t allow the boys to read such tripe. TOM TAX. l—--—-———-—-—-——o—- W I Fraternity Notes RHO DELTA RHO As a result of the social commit- tee’s hard work arrangements for the combined active and alumni chapters’ annual dinner dance have been prac— tically completed. The date for the year’s big affair has been definitely set for Saturday, May 23, and the Beldcn—Stmt‘lord has been chosen as the site. Options have been placed on orchestras, and before the week is out; a decision will be made. Under the direction 0]" Brother the baseball team ex— pects to rapidly come up to the par set by the last year’s champions. Our first practice game will be held tomorrow with Theta Xi. Our congratulations go to Brother Grox‘n‘bachcr Freireiich for being pledged Phi Lambda Upsilon. THETA XI We wish to congratulate Brother Kreit upon his recent pledging; Phi Lambda Upsilon and Brother Chapin upon his pledging to Sphinx. Con— gratulations are also in order for Plcdg‘e Magnuson upon his recent in. itintion into Salamander. Everyone is busy practicing for the Intel-fraternity Sing which is but a few weeks oil“. The baseball team has been selected and is now prac— ticing for the tournament. Our annual Founder’s Day Bane quct is to be held April 29 at the Bis- marck Hotel. This is one of the big events of the social your and one which brings many of the alumni to— gether with the active members. We were glad to have Brothers (ii-avian and Mulrooney pay us visits in the past week. PHI PI Pill Congratulations are :n order for Brother I—Ieike, who was recently in- itiated to Tau Beta Pi and pledged to Phi Lambda Upsilon. The. house is making preparations for Junior week activities. Practice for track, baseball, and tennis is now well under way, and preparations are also being made for the sing and the circus day skit. Our new housekeeper, Mrs. Ost— lund, is now well settled and is put- ting forth some marvelous meals. Our former cook, Mrs. Buss, recently returned to Germany, after serving us for fourteen years. The Mothers’ club held a meeting last Friday, a good attendance being reported. RIANGLE Armour chapter of Triangle takes pleasure in announcing- the pledging Nils K. Anderson, Ch.E. ’38 Brother Kraft, formerly of this chapter and more lately of the Uni- versity of Illinois, is now working- in Chicago. He is living at the House. Brother Hunt of our So. Dakota Mines Chapter, who has been living at the House for the past few weeks, has moved to the south side due to a change of positions. Brothers Penn and Scott were our delegates to the Fraternity’s Con— vention at Columbus, Ohio, last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They left Chicago last Wednesday night and came back late Sunday night. —-———~~——~—— I Pill KAPPA SlGlVlA The house last Thursday was they scene of muny happy reunions and friendships on the occasion of the Alumni Smoker. Stories of the good old days flew thick and fast as the evening waxed on. The fellows played a practice game with the Pi Kappa Phi house, last week which served to give both teams a good workout. PI KAPPA PHI In our first baseball practice name, which was held last Wednesday, we lost to Triangle by a narrow margin. We feel sure that the added practice that we have had by now will show a marked improvement in the team’s playing. The Mothei‘s' Club card party, hold at the chapter house last Sat- urday evening was a marked success. The attractive table prizes were a novel feature, and the. refreshments were of the type only a mothers’ club can serve. DELTA TAU DELTA Johnny Davis. Fred Engelthalcr” Bill Luise, and Dick Street came through with a victory over Theta Xi in ping pong. These four men will represent us in the finals, and if they play as well then as they did last, Thursday, the title will come to us. Preparations are being made for our Circus Day stunt. A practice was held last Sunday and parts were assigned. This year the entire house will participate rather than just the freshmen as has been the case be— fore. With more men from which to select material and with their valu— able suggestions based on their ex. periences in the past year, the stunt promises to be very good. Baseball is uppermost in our minds rig-ht now, and our team is ready for action. Practice games can be ar— ranged through Fred Engelthalcr, ;mnualw Tuesday, April 28, 1936 an: inn; STEAM Shown.
