Vol. XIX. FEBRUARY 23, 1937 No. 2
intramural Awards
Awards made to interclass championship

teams have recently reached a point of fiasco. The
possibility that the “sky is the limit" slogan may
be adopted in the selection of proper awards for
intern-lass competition has aroused a group of
students. A petition signed by the president and
treasurer of each class has been submitted to the
Board of Control of the A'. T. S. A. suggesting a
correction of the existing award system.

The proposal states that all awards to cham-
pionship teams in intramural contests should be
uniform without respect to class or to previous
awards. It reasons that the custom of each class
to buy awards prevented uniformity, caused con-
fusion, placed undue emphasis upon in 'ards, and
caused unequal drains upon the class treasuries.
It suggests that the A. ’l“. S. A. make all awards
for intramu'al contests and that the Board of
Control specify the form of award for each con-
test end the maximum number of awards which
shall be made.

The suggested amendment reads, “The Board
of Athletic Control shall have power to prevent
the expenditure of funds from the various class
treasuries for the purpose of purchasing awards
for Winners of intramural contests.”

We heartily endorse the proposal presented to
the A. T. S. A. It seems only fair that in the
spirit of “real” competition, 2.]! four class treas—
uries share the cost of awards. Definite awards

by the strike. Neither the union nor the com
pany can replace the millions of dollars of pur—
chasing power forfeited by the workers in a little
over a mohth. Workers in allied industries also
lost, involuntarily, because of the strike. Defiance
of property rights and of injunctions granted by
the properly constituted authorities only weak-
ened labor’s popular support in wage and hour
demands. '

What is the position of the public? Towns de-
pending on the purchasing power of the 137,000-
odd families of the workers, of whom only 172’.
favored the strike, were paralyzed. The public
had to pay for the support of national guardsmen
withdrawn from productive work to protect
property. True, work is made for those who will
replace damaged property, but production for
mere replacement is not the kind of production
needed to continue our rise to prosperity.

Terms providing return to work and subse-
quent collective bargaining could have been ar-
ranged by January 4 had not the United Auto-
mobile Workers of America demanded recogni-
tion as sole bargaining agency for the labor side.
Labor's victory on this point only served to. con—
tinue the loss to themselves and the public by en»
couraging further outbreaks. - .

Engineers are between capital and labor, but
their position will always entail maintenance of
efficiency and economy in production and distri—
bution. It is agreed that workers have an inher-
ent right to strike, but the prolonged strike
caused by labor czars must be definitely opposed
by engineers if losses to themselves and to the
general public are to be reduced.

you do is the secret of happiness."

will give a goal at which to aim. Under the
present system, each member of a team may l'C-l
celve large stutuettes after winning two games!
“State’s rights" objectors may argue that the}
proposal would take undue power from the in-i
dividual class. Actually the system works equally }
well for all classes. An amount could be taken}
from each class treasury after the activity fees;
are paid and given to the A.T.S.A. to buy the
awards. ‘

In the proposal, no variation in awards is sug—,
gested for a team which wins an event more then ;
once. We would suggest that two types of awarc :1 ‘
be made for each contest, one type to be given
a man who competes with a winning team for a
first time and a second type for the man who is
on a winning team for a second year. It is un—
usual for a. team to win an event for more thanl
two years. If it should, a repetition of awards“
would not be of any harm as most medals are left .
in a box at home anyway. I

For events such as the tennis tourney in which L
competition is open to individual students with-‘1
out reference to class, an A. T. S. A, award would 1
be particularly adaptable. If the affair were 1121-:
tional in scope, we might say “write at once to!
your congressman,” but, since it applies integral—1
ly to Armour Tech affairs, it is only necessary tel
advise your A. T. S. A. class representative to!
support the proposal.

Who Profits?

With strikes threatening on all sides, it is per-
tinent to review the effects of the most costly
labor dispute in recent years, the General Motors
strike. Who profited through prolongation of the
siege? Did capital? Did labor? Did the gen—
eral public? John Lewis claims a victory for la-
bor. but it is only a surface victory from the
economist’s viewpoint.

‘The loss to capital is obvious. Each day of pro-
duction lost means millions of dollars to a large
corporation, and heavy losses must also be sus-
tained by the allied plants brought to a. standstill

ENTAL WORK - especially long
hours of intensive study—can slow

up digestion. Herbert Weast, Class of 1939,
says: “Camels are a real aid. They help
make the feeling of nervous pressure fade
out, and get me set for a hearty meal. I

work better, too, since I’ve discovered I
get a refreshing ‘lift’ in energy with a
Camel. Camels set me right.” Enjoy
Camcl’s costlier tobaccos the whole day
through. At mealtimes Camels are an

aid to digestion—speeding up the flow of
digestive fluids~increasing alkalinity-—
bringing a sense of case and well~bcing.
Steady smokers prefer Camels. They are
so mild! They don't jungle the nerves,
tire the taste, or irritate sensitive throats.

“I WANT!“ A CIGARETTE

Dan Reflr/y. “And Camels
don’t. They go fine with
