Vol. XIX. No. 5. lineman, Wagner lop First ballot Run-off vote—1701‘ Head Junior Marshal To Be Cast Tombrrow by ’38 Calvin K. Nauman and Edward F. Wagner are the candidates for head marshal to be elected in a runoff elec- tion tomorrow. Wagner, favorite of the Chemical Engineers, received the highest num- ber of votes, while Nauman of the Mechanical Department, was a very close second. One of these two men will be head marshal and will be as- sisted in the administration of Junior Week activities by the other and the following men: Frank I. Hebenstreit, representing the Electrical Enginceiu inc department; Carmen L. Basile, a Civil Engineer; James D. Sheehan, Fire Protection department; and Walter Litwin, Architect. Run-off to be Tomorrow The run-off election will be held tomorrow between 9:30 and 2:00 o’clock. 1n the preliminary election held last Friday 132 votes were cast representing a large majority of the class. Since the office of Junior Marshal is one of the highest honors that can be awarded a man by his fellow students, great care is used by the junior classes in order that they may select the men who are most deserving of the honor. The class of 1938, according to reports. is confident that they have made ex- cellent choices. School's Biggest Affair Junior Week, which is tentatively scheduled this year for the second week in May, is. the biggest affair of the school year in which all students participate. It is the one week dur- ing; the year when the classroom gives way to extra-curricular activ- ities, and when work is supplanted by play.

Authority @n 1 Heat Transfer, Heat Flow Problems To Be Investigated Dr. Max Jakob renowned scientist, engineer, and authority on applied thermodynamics, last week arrived from Germany to take up his duties at Armour as an associate invest- igator in the recently-formed Re— search F‘oundation. His research ac- tivities will be confined to the in— vestigation of abstruse problems per— taining to evaporation, condensation and heat flow. Holds Several Degrees In 1900, Dr. Jakob graduated from the Technisehe Hochschule, Munich, Germany, with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. The following year he received another engineering degree in technical phys- ics from the same institute. Incident- ally, the Technischc Hochschule is not a technical high school as the name would seem to imply, but is considered one of the outstanding technical institutes of Europe. In the interval 1902-1906, Dr. Jakob held the position of Assistant Professor in the Laboratory of Technical Physics at the Technische Hochschule. While engaged in this work the school hon— cred him with the title of Doctor of Engineering in view of his achieve— ments in this field. Former Consulting Engineer The period 1906-1910 marked his temporary departure from scholastic work to hold consulting engineering positions in technical industries. He first served as engineer for the A.E.G. Works, Berlin, which may be likened to the G. E. Corp. of the United States. The Lahmeyer Works of Frankfort and the Brown Boveri Company of Switzerland later em- Arrives at Armour Dr. Max lake parture from the A.E.G. Works. The year 1910 marked his re- entrance into the field of pure sci- entific research and organization, by his becoming a member of the Tech- nieal College of Berlin. Paralleling these activities he served as scientific adviser to the Verein Deutscher In— genieur, a position which he held un- til 1933. Climaxing his brilliant career as a scientist and engineer was his appointment in 1922 as the head of what might be termed Ger— many’s Bureau of Standards. Dem— onstrating his indefatigable energies in the field of research, he then be- came a prominent figure in the realm of thermodynamical research by becoirninz,r chairman of numerous research committes, by authoring a handbook of chemistry, and by found- ing the official publication of the Verein Deutscher Ingenieur. In 1936, Dr, Jacob conducted a lec- ture tour covering many of the prominent schools in the United ployed him as engineer after his de- (Cont’inued on page 3) Electrical Lad Gets Television Apparatus New television apparatus in the form of a dual telephoncvtelevision unit was added to the equipment of Armour’s electrical laboratory last Friday. The unit consists of a tele- vision transmitter an intermediate power supply and a television receiv— er. The transmitter is of the mechan- ical variety consisting of several photo electric cells which are mount- ed on the front panel of the trans— mitter and employs a scanning disc. The unit was formerly used in dem— onstrations. This apparatus produces an image by light waves in small square pat- terns that combine to form a picture. Cycle Begins Picture Schedule Tomorrow Pictures for the Cycle of ’37 will be taken today and tomorrow in the gymnasium on the fourth floor of the Main Building.

The play was chosen by the Players Guild af- ter a lengthy discussion and debate as to its possibilities in regards to college production. Tryouts Wednesday Mr. Fulghum, Players' sponsor, has announced Wednesday, March 18 as the day for the first tryouts. All students, whether members of the Players or not, are invited to attend the, first meeting which will he held in the Auditorium. The Players Guild also discussed the site of the performance, and it is anticipated that the play will be held in a down- town theater which will provide prop- er facilities for stage settings. Winterzet Chosen Best of 1936 Mr. Anderson’s play was chosen in 1936 by the New York Drama Critics Circle as the best American play of the season. In its citation the Circle stated that “Winterset” combines “high literary distinction with compelling theatrical effect.” In this new drama, we find that Mr. Anderson has turned his poetic gifts on a modern subject. The story is presumably based on the Sacco- Vanzetti case. The chief characters are: lo, the son of the man who was executed for a crime he did not commit; the judge who tried the case; an old Jew; and the latter’s son and daughter who play an im- portant part in Mio’s attempt to vin- dicate his father. Emotional Beauty and Power The play is tense with the emotion \displayed by Mia who feels that he cannot really love Miriamne until his belief in his right to decency, self respect, and the respect of others, is confirmed. The two finally unite in a scene of extraordinary emotional beauty and power. fifties Releases First Semesterh Studentfloemges Scholastic standings for the first semester of the current school year were. released last week by the Regis— trar’s office.

H. Worcester Featuring a galaxy of four hun- dred track and field stars represent- ing thirty—five colleges and universi— ties from eight states, the curtain will rise at seven o'clock Saturday eve- ning, March 20, on the Ninth An- nual Armour Tech Relay Games. The games will be staged in the Univer- sity of Chicago Fieldhousc, with pre— liminaries in the dash and hurdle events run all between l'our and five o’clock in the afternoon. Dedicated to Late Judge Steffen John J. Schommer of Armour Tech is chairman of the committee in charge, assisted by track coach, Nor— man Root and Mr. G. S. Allison. The Armour Relay Games are being dedi- cated to Judge Walter P. Steffen, for years head finish judge of the games, who recently passed away. Originally Triangular Meet Originally the Tech Relay Games consisted of a triangular meet be— tween Chicago, Armour and some other middle western college. Lon~ ny Stage, then of Chicago Universi- ty, and John J. Schommer of Armour conceived the idea of increasing the number of participants by inviting several prominent middle state col— leges to compete in the annual a1“— l'air. Each year the number of con- testants was augmented with the growing number of colleges and uni- versities participating: Having gained national prominence in the world of track and field competition, the an- nual meetings were incorporated into the Armour Tech Relay Games in 1929. Today they are recognized as one of the most important gather- ings of athletes during the nation’s track season.

Presenting- one of the most versa- tile bands to play at an Armour dance the freshmen are confident of on ‘ippingz all other classes in their initial social affair April 2. Promises social chairman Eugene Worcester, “Our dance will eclipse all other events held this year. With a larger attendance at each succeeding dance this year I am sure the Green Cap Ball will have the greatest crowd.” Feature Spring Setting Hotel Sherman’s Bal ’l‘abnrin will present a completely changed appear- ance when the dance opens. A mod» ern spring dance floor recently in~ stalled will delight the dancers with the resilient surface it affords them. This latest development is as yet in very few ballrooms, and, coupled with recent rcdecorution and enlargement. the Bal Tabarln will provide an ir- resistablc lure. Maximum room for the dangers will be available, for the floor will be cleared of all tables.
