School Clubs Propose Central @rgan'iaation A proposed combination of the Ar— mour clubs was discussed last Tues- day at a meeting held in the Cam- pus club. All club officers were in— vited to attend this meeting" by the officers of the Campus club, who pro- posed the meeting. The combination which has been suggested would form a central organization which would have rooms and act as a voice for all clubs at Armour. The separate clubs would, of course, continue as separate identities. In line with the general expansion at Armour now, the second floor of Chopin hall probably will be made into offices and classrooms. The News offices have been changed al- ready to make possible this change. It is apparent that various clubrooms. posted on the bulletin boards in Main in order to aid students in finding summer work or post graduate posi- tions. Included in the ofl‘crs are num- crous chances for students to benefit by the cooperation which companies have given to Armour. The United Slates department of Interior National Park Service has offered positions for student tech- nicians at a salary of seventy dollars a month, the work is going from June ] or soon thereafter to September 15. Mr, Setter-berg has five application blanksufor the position. These chosen will be assigned to the Regional 0f~ co, Omah. Nebraska.

Reporters Travel, Seek, and Hope, But Never Seem to get the flops By R. E. Perry There are lots of people in the world. There are lots of people here at Armour. People like to see their names in print. People like to he in‘ tel-viewed. Then why, by the tails of the twenty thousand purple mon- keys toasting in the bright blue flames of Hades, can‘t they place themselves where I can find ’em! Try to Look Like a Reporter "Iis a hot and sultry day. Me, I’m given an assignment. So I loosen my tie, crumple my pants, put my hat on the back of my head; and then, looking like the movies version of a reporter, toddle out to look up this Guy. Now, there is a jolly cus- tom here a Armour known as making out program cards. These program cards are placed in a file in semi— alphabetical order; and one trots up to this file, performs a little addition and subtraction to determine wheth— er “S” comes after “T," peers at the card wanted and then wanders out into the corridor in search of the Guy. Let’s say that the interpretation ‘whom seem to be holding a tach— lmadc of the inky scrawl on the rath- er grimy looking program gives his present class as dynamo lab. Maybe twenty guys are in the lab, all of ometer in one hand and resting their head on the other while they gaze vaguely off into space with that ex— pression peculiar to olectricals. I break into one fellow‘s reverie. He turns his glazed eyes on me and says in tones of mild astonishment, “Him, is he in this class?” And trying to be helpful in a pathetic way tells me to try the other lab. It really is very sad about electricals. This Guy isn’t there, they never are. a Grapes Are Sour, Anyway Considerably wilted but ever mind- ful of the need for news I trudge on, a sorry figure. Anyhow after dram Ring the carcass around and around and around and around I see this guy. It appears that that program was just a trial one, Sure, it got there by mistake. Yeah, I know, “No story; they called it off.” “ Wednesday afternoon, May 26, is the deadline for all entries in the A. T. S. A. sticker contest.

Schommer Backs Senior Alumni Plans Speaking to the senior class Prof. J. J. Schommcr last Friday in the A sembly Hall stressed the import- ance of their becoming: a compact group within themselves as well as a cooperative part of the Armour alumni. Prof. Schommer, in particular, spoke for the alumni banquet which is to be held tonight at the Medinah Athletic Club. In view of the seniors’ approaching status as alumni, he felt that they should attend. He em- phasized the importance of attend- ance immediately upon graduation as well as in subsequent years. As he said, few students stop to realize the importance of an active alumni or- ganization whose activities represent the life-blood of any scholastic insti~ tution. Steps were taken by the senior class two weeks ago, on the Wednes~ (lay of Junior Week, when they met to discuss the formation of an active alumni group in addition to several other matters. It was noted that a committee he organized for the pur— pose of getting: the class together next year at a reunion. Due to the fact that the location of the various seniors after graduation will not be known until later, it was decided to postpone the appointing of the, com- mittee until then. fine Hundred Sixty graduate dune lfl Dr. E.

The last inspection trip of the year was conducted last Wednesday through the Gary Works of the Car- ncuie Illinois Steel Company, and its subsidiary, the American Sheet Steel Company. Group Requires Two Buses The group of students and facility members, 56 in all, met at the Hotel Gary at 8:30 in the mornings and, cm~ barking: in two buses, they toured the steel plant. The first obj s of interest were the large batteries of coke ovens producing: coke for the blast furnaces pier, two boats were being; relieved of their ore cargoes. The blast fur- naces, ten in all, lapped every six hours, produce 100,000 tons ol’ molten iron at day. All of this molten iron is taken dire 'tlv to the open for- once from where is: cast into stool ingots. Various Processes Seen The engine room of the plant con- tains thi y-four huge Nuremberg gas engines using; blast furnace gas for fuel. These engines of 3000 horse- power producc the 6600 volt, 25 cycle current used in the plant and compress the air used in the blast A From the open hearth furnaces the steel passes through the blooming mill where it is rolled into convenient stock for use in the other types of mill. In the wheel mill, railway cars draulic DI, es. in the rail mill, the long railway rails were rolled from billet Strip Rolling Proves interesting After lunch in the Carnegie plant, the group went to the sheet steel‘ the continuous strip mill rolling a slab of steel into a long thin sheet.
