MARCH 16, 1937 A New intramural System Although under the present system of intra- mural sports, students are offered relaxation from their studies, this branch of Armour ath- letics would be more valuable and stimulate greater enthusiasm if some sports were sched— uled during the winter months. A league made up of the departments of each class seems to be the best plan. Each department would compete in the various sports through the school year, and in June an award would be given to the department gaining the highest number of points in all sports. Under the present plan, competition is almost at a standstill during the winter months. Under the proposed plan, each department would have a definite prize at which to aim, and more enthusiasm would be invited in inter-class competition. An all-sport class champion could be selected by apportioning points to the class for the victories of its various departments in the intramural sports. To encourage individual competition, we would suggest that the following sports be intro— duced: bowling, table tennis, horseshoes, wrest- ling, boxing, and football punting and basketball free throw contests. Each class would compete as a team in bas- ketball, baseball, track, and swimming. Depart- ments would compete in football, soft ball, bowl. ing, horseshoes, table tennis, tennis. boxing, and wrestling. Departmental basketball might be added to the list. Such an extended plan would require the serv- ices of an efficient managerial system. In addi- tion to the senior manager two juniors and three sophomores could be appointed as assistants. A definite point system could be arranged for each sport. An intra—mural governing council would be advisable to give voice in the event of dis: putes, protests, and unforeseen difficulties. Such an intra-mural system could be intro- ‘v'l‘llE S'l‘liAlVl SHOVELE l l tiation of Ronald : and the pledging . ’ ‘I M. E. ’41. MAYBE THE SOPHS THOUGHT‘.

One of the serious things that “seem to irk" some of the , ‘ of the plan is the threat of ultimate dic» tatorship. Congresses have been known to be subservient The Class B judgment is over and to the President of the United States.

From, the crowning event on the social calendar, was held in the Sky Room of the Stevens Hotel last Saturday night. Through the coop- eration of the Armour and North- western chapters, and the efforts of Oreste Tomei and Jack Horder, social chairmen, the party was a very pleas- ant event. The Mothers' Club held its third meeting at the house last Sunday aft- ernoon. After the meeting a short re- hearsal was held for the fraternity sing and refreshments were served.
