Ballots should be placed in the News box near the drinking foun- tain on the first floor of Main or given to a member of the staff. Principal issues of the campaign as brought out in the discussion are: unemployment, the national budget, government control of business, in— terpretation of the Constitution, ag— riculture relief and control, public works, and taxation. soil. measures crass insrsci‘s mum sunning Education by the method of visual inspection was applied last Thurs-l day afternoon when senior civils tak- ing the elective in soil mechanics left the Institute during the class period and inspected at “Gold Coast” building which is set- tling. Under the leadership of Profes- sor Herbert Ensz, the settling of the course building was pointed out and ex— plained. This nineteen story apart- ment building, which measures roughly 136 feet by 120 feet, is settling some 21 inches in its N.E. corner, and 10 inches in the S.W. corner. The top of the building is leaning over 10.5 inches from the plumb and is pressing against an ad- jacent two-story building. Fortunate- ly, the apartment building is settling as a unit. One result of this settlement has been to warp all of the rear fire es- capes. Bracing members originally horizontal are now definitely skewed. Columns and vertical bracing bars have buckled, indicating the great ex- tent of the settlement. The building, which is at present occupied and is considered safe, was built in 1924-25. As a measure of safety, tests are run every month to determine the increase in settlement. Professor Ensz has done considerable work on this building and has deter— mined that the intensity of pressure due to the building, 200 feet below the surface of the ground, is zero.

The new diesel power trains were also dis- cussed. In closing his speech, Mr. Michael pointed out the marvelous opportunities for the mechanical cn~ gineers because of the numerous de— tails beiug‘ developed by the manu~ factoring companies. The inspection trip to the railroad shops which will be made Friday is open to all A.S.M.E. members. The students will assmble at Kinzie street and Keeler avenue at one o’clock. All members of the A.S.M.E. will be excused from Friday afternoon classes provided they answer the roll- call to be taken at the shops. Due to pressing duties in other ac- tivities, F. Lesson was forced to re~ sign his position as secretary. In an election held at the first of the meet- ing L. J. Janos was elected to fill the position.

The next few weeks will tell how much has been accomplished satis— factorily after the juries have made their little red marks hitth and yon class B, and class A drawings. The sophomores have been through one acid test with‘ gratifying results as a whole, which was very heartening to those who were slightly dubious about our New Deal. The proof of the puddin’ of course, is the eatin’ and we can ens- ily take a second helpin'. The “Guest House" judgment brought a first mention to Shaw, Huboi and Ron, and eleven mentions and six half mentions to the rest of the class.

No, no, Mr. Wagner, that’s not an elephant coming up the stairs, that’s Kichaven. 2. Those thack-thack sounds are not bullets, it’s only the juniors playing in clay modeling". 3. That tramping and scuffling sound is not a fight, it’s just several of the sophs trying to imitate some of the chorus girls, they saw at the Rialto. (Mike is the clum- siest by far). 4. That moaning sound is not someone dying, Mr. Mell, it’s just Dick Street trying to reassemble himself after the guy whose locker he put the bucket of water in so it would fall on him found out who did it.

Although a new bots tom was put under it three years ago, a side rusted through last Wed- nesday, and the water which ran out leaked down the hall walls, ruining three hall ceilings. The damaged ceilings will be recalcimincd soon. The old tank has been temporarily repaired, but a new one will be in- stalled sometime this week. According to W. Koster, superin» tendent of maintenance, the damage done to the building was not exces- sive, and the new tank would noccs~ sarily have been purchased soon any- way. DAD ’S [W CH ”y”...

That this program will be impress— ivc there is no doubt, and there is a genuine need for such an affair. “Dad’s Night” affairs have become traditional at all of the Big: Ten schools and at most of the big col- leges and universities. A dad’s affair is arranged with some big athv letic event, usually a homecoming, as part of the program. The directors of this program feel that new and novel as these plans are at Armour, they can he carried out. Armour will hold a “Dad’s Night" affair, but student support is essen— tial. Such an uf‘l'nir obviously does not come under the activity foe. An impressive occasmn is undoubtedly in order, and to carry out impressive plans, student support is needed. Ten Senior Arx Are Guests at Banquet Ten senior architects were invited to take a bow before a sales convcn» tion of the National Lead Company last Friday. About 100 persons were present at the supper, which was frei- to the Arx, and from which meeting: the, gavel mysteriously disappeared. The architects received their invita- tion through the efforts of their new instructor, Prof. Sterling Harper, affiliated with the state architectural office. Aftel supper in the Btmlcvaul Room of the Stevens Hotel, the seniors received cigars and cigarettes and saw movies on lead processing.
