ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Three By A. N. Schricbcr In last week's o/rticle, the author presented the promise that since Eng- land fours immcdiotc European war caused by the impondino economic crisis of Germany, she (is attempting to act the United States to loan Ger- many a. billion dollars. 1‘ch economic crisis‘i'n Germany was discussed and is continncdin this article. BUT SINCE GERMANY can not pay cash or get credit she is forced to “barter". Thus in exchange for U. S. cotton Germany will send us quantities of finished goods. (Barbed wire, recently heavily exported by Germany to the U. S., is not on the ekchange list. One wonders if that is being conserved for effective fenc- ins;r in future front line trenches.) In contrast to the rising price level the wage level is steadily decreasing. Last week the Frankfurter Zeitung published the following facts. A typ’ ical electrical engineer with a wife and child now earns approximately $80 per month after government do. ductions are made. This represents the upper 10% of the population. An average worker representing the other 90% makes approximately $29 per month with which to support himself and his family. HOW LONG GERMANY can con- tinue under present conditions to starve its population is pi- ' ‘ ' 1 But, if she were to go to war, food could he rationed as an emergency measure and protests could he called sabotage with the resulting firing squad. Germany spent $7,000,000,000 for military and armament purposes last year instead of for food and thus her stomach is empty and her muscle is strong. NOW ENGLAND understands the German situation: economic crisis and bristling militarism, and she fears the consequences. John Bull thus ‘ Invite Oldenburger to Address Seminar D'r. Rufus Oldenburger was extend— ed an invitation last week by Notre Dame University to take part in con- ducting a seminar on metric geom- etry. Professor Karl Monger, leading Austrian mathematician who was vice president of the 1936 International Mathematical Congress and recent appointee to the faculty of Notre Dame University, is in charge of the seminar. Because of his international lcad- crship in the. field of higher dimen- sional matrices and determinants, Dr. Oldenburgcr was selected to address the seminar. Among those taking part in the seminar are Dr. Torrance of the Case School of Applied Science, Dr. Randels of Northwestern Univer- sity, Professors Graves and Reid of the University of Chicago, and Pro— fessor Haas, theoretical physicist of Notre Dame University. These men along with a group of younger mathematical instructors hold seminar meetings every two or three weeks at Notre Dame Univer- sity for the purpose of discussing rc- soarch in the fundamentals of geom- etry and developing the field by use of higher dimensional matrices and determinants. Results obtained at the seminar will be published in future issues of the mathematical journals. permit her to further divert national funds for armaments and would ulti- mately draw the United States closer into the next war. WHILE THE WHOLE idea of a U. S. loan to Germany is ludicrous at the present time, foreign diplomats Dr. Shannon Speaks On February Heroes Dr. Frederick F. Shannon, pastor of the Central Church, Orchestra Hall, spoke to the student body last Wednesday morning in a address com- memorating America's three great presidents who are associated with the month of February: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson. In an interesting manner, Dr. Shan- non presented modern conceptions of the contributions of these three pres- idents, and departed from the con— sideration of these men as immortals. Wilson was brought out as fully the equal of Lincoln and Washington, and the speaker characterized Lincoln as a humanist, Washington as a realist, and Wilson as an idealist. It was emphasized that each person has to some degree the qualities of a human- ist, realist, and idealist which only need awakening. Dr. Hotchkiss presented the speaker to the audience and thanked him after the closing applause. Dr. Shannon succeeded Dr. Gunsaulus, former pres- ident of Armour Institute, as pastor of Central Church and has spoken on several occasions to Armour men have been known to perpetrate other fantastic schemes and the immediate future will probably be filled with political antics based on the four ' Marx brothers philosophy. Thank heavens for such fundamental Amer— icans as Senators Bomb and Johnson in our governmental organization who can be counted upon to resist such ideas to the last ditch. Concert (Continued from page one) number, only the back—stage shell was illuminated-with dimmed blue lights —-thus silhouetting the singers vividly. This is only one example of the won- derful lighting effects that played throughout the evening with secming~ ly endless variations. R. Lischcr, graduate student in the Architectural school of Armour, devised and di- rected these light combinations. George Danforth, also an architect» um] student, is a young composer and pianist whose ability is worthy of considerable attention. He manip- ulated his fingers across the glisten- ing keyboard throughout his intricate arrangements of George Gershwin’s melodies with force, color, and deci— sivcness . . . . Donforth's arrange— ments included “Summer Time”, sung by sixteen voices of the Glee Club. His encore: “In My Solitude," in George’s own inimitable way—hardly conventional, but enjoyed fully. Most important to your reviewer were the impromptu comments heard in the lobby during intermission and after the concert. It was evident that of all the Glee Club numbers, “Moon- light and Roses,” an encore early in the program, was the hit of the evening. “Spirit Flower”, by the double octcttc, ran a close second. All other pieces could easily be considered in the third division of popularity. Mary Diletl‘o Restaurant 3258 Princeton Ave. Mcnu changed daily. Home cook- ing. Complete steak or chop dinners, 350.

Arrangements for the dance are being made by Orestc Tomei and the dance is tentatively planned to be held at the Belden-Strotford hotel. Bids will cost five dollars each and will be available to all fraternity men. Over seventy couples are ox~ pcoted to attend the dance. Roy Bucci was elected by the Inter- fraternity Council as inter-fraternity athletic manager to assist the intra- mural manager in arranging frater— nity athletic competition. A frater- nity basketball tournament is ll’ progress this week and a bowling tournament is planned for the near future. Further comments revealed that the orchestra found two favorites when they played the lively “Espana” by Waldtcufcl and “Song of the Bayou” by Bloom. “Vulsc Bluotte” by Drigo, was smoothly and carefully rendered. The robust baritone trio—«ll. Bod- nar, E. Slcrzydlcwski, and T. Ycaklc— were at their best. Camera Club Offers Photography Talks E. P. Mehringcr will inaugurate a series of bi~weekly photographic loc— tures, given under the auspices of the Camera Club, next Friday morning at 10:30, with a discussion of photo— graphic fundamentals. These lectures will continue for the duration of the semester and will include instruction in the use of the camera and reliited topics. The speakers, with a few ex» ccptions, will be the active members of tho “Armour Eye”. At their last meeting on February 15, four chairmen were appointed: F. Hacker to head the studio .com- mittce, I. J‘ohnke to lead the dark room committee, A. G. Barry as li- brarian, and R. F. Grunwald to guide the activities of the program commitu tee. It was also decided at this go- thering to increase the scope of the club to include associate as well as active members. The monthly fee for the former has been reduced to twen- ty-fivc cents. Plans for a salon at open house night were formulated, and on invi- tation was extended to all Armour camera enthusiasts to exhibit their work on that evening. l VlC’l‘OR‘Y RESTAURANT WIT: DELIVER ORDERS PROMPTLY 3035 Woolworth Ave. WI: but): (u on a wry ouitublc cation place, where over thin PHONE: VICTORY 1888 Give Us A Trio] and BL- Convinced we serve is nounuu . pared to the highest quality inufood nnd cooking: muterlol.

TEIMOUS STUDIES tend to drag on the nerves, ofren pcnalizing digescion. But Camels help in two specific reasons that if Frau Germany can be given clean to tide her over a finan— ‘ cial crisis, war can be postponed suf- ficiently long to allow England to become properly prepared. John Bull wonders who shall be the kind and auspicious person to make the loan and immediately dear benevolent Uncle Sam is remembered. So, in the fall of 1936, John Bull sent Walter HAT Fred McDaniel {below} says about Camels is backed up 100% by baseball’s "Iron Man," Lou Gehrig ~by Frank Buck, of “Bring ’Em Back Alive" fame—«by Eleanor Tcnnant, the outstanding woman tennis coach of the U. S.—and by millions of other Camel smokers in all walks of life. Enjoy Camels at every meal. They speed up the flow of digestive fluids. Increase alkalinity. Help you wjoy food. Camels set you right! They’re the cigarette for steady smoking. Light up a Camel and get a "lift.” ways: You get a“lift" in co- crgy with a Camel.

Runciman, president of the British Board of Trade, and Sir Otto Ernst Neimeycr, British financier, to the United States to discuss reciprocal trade agreements and neutrality status for the benefit of the press, and to sound out Uncle Sam’s tem- perament and pocket book over private tea cups. JOHN BULL’S DELEGATES re- turned with a rosy picture that must have been made with mirrors which eliminated the Johnson act that pre- vents loans to countries in default to the United States. Also, Uncle Sam’s family. John Public, has no further uses for European “promises to pay”. However this does not dis— may John Bull. He is confident that Uncle Sam can be made to listen to reason, claiming that, if the loan is not made and war comes, Uncle Sam can not possibly stay neutral. That sounds lovely but Uncle Sam wonders why John Bull doesn’t make the loan himself. ENGLAND CANNOT make the loan because $500,000,000 must be ,spent in the next five years to make Britain militaristically secure and to provide the proper moral effect to deter other arming nations. This pro- gram will average $168.54 for every man, woman, and child in England. Thus since the United States is be— lieved wealthy and prosperous, the attempt is being made to buy Euro- pean peace with American dollars. British statesmen further believe that President Roosevelt can be per“ suaded to do a “Wilson act” because of his personal ambition to further world peace as evidenced by his at- tempt to draw the United States into the World Court during the early part of his first term, and his more recent efforts at New World peace alliances between the United States and Latin America. EVEN IF THE absurd loan were completed it is questionable that the desired results can be obtained. The advance to Germany would actually “REFER “DING HERD from sun- up to sun-down, the chuck-wagon looks mighty good to me,” says Fred McDaniel (above, also right}.
