ma. Vol. XIX. No. 6. Noumea to lead , .luoior Marshals Thirty-Second Junior Week Starts May 10; Many Events Planned C. K. Nauman, M. E., was elected head marshal for the thirty-second annual Junior Week in a runoff elec- tion last Wednesday between Nau— man and E. F. Wagner, Ch. E., who competed in a previous election with marshals representing the other de- partments. The numerous activities with which Nauman is associated at Armour are indicative of his ability to serve in this important capacity. He is as- sistant sports editor of the Tech. News, assistant manager of the wrestling team, a member of Pi Tau Sigma, honorary mechanical engineer- ing fraternity, and secretary—treas- urer of the Glee Club. Faust to Fill Vacancy In accord with the practice set by precedent of permitting an additional marshal to be elected from the de- partment of which the head marshal is a member, the mechanicals chose R. M. Faust to fill the vacancy left by Nauman. Other marshals who will assist in the task of regulating activities dur- intr the second week of May are: E. F. Wagner, chemical engineering de~ partment; F. I. Hebenstreit, electrical engineering; C. L. Basile, civil en- gineering; J. D. Sheehan, lire protec- tion; and W. Litwin, architecture. Plan Novel Features As a result of a preliminary meet- ing held last Friday the marshals discussed plans for the introduction of novel features in addition to the traditional freshman-sophomore rush, baseball games, inter-fraternity page— ant, and social affairs. Junior Week was inaugurated by the class of 1907, and opened with an assembly on Monday, May 21, 1906.

Spacious Bail Tabarin and Chapman’s Alpha ChiSigma Plans @rchestm Feature Green Cap Boll Expect Large Crowd At Freshman Dance “More room for dancing” has been the age old cry of Armour dancers, and at last a social committee has responded to the call. The class of ’40 selected the Bal ’l‘abarin with the piimai-y purpose of providing more than ample room for three hundred and fifty couples expected. Style and class have not been sacrificed for size alone, however, since the Bal Tabarin is the smartest room in the Hotel Sherman, which for years has been among the three top ranking Chicago loop hotels Easily Accessible Recently remodeled, indirect light- in}: and modernistic furniture blend into the ultra smooth atmosphere of this famous downtown social spot. Situated on Randolph at Clark street. the hotel is in the center of Chicago’s theatrical district. Boule- vard systems make it easily acces» sible, with ample parking facilities on hand. Spring Dance Floor In addition to luxurious and spa— cious surroundings, the Ball Tabarin features the latest creation for the smoothest of dancing with its experi‘ sive and newly installed spring danc— ing“ floor. Resting on a layer of felt with a spring base, each step is no- ticeably cushioned making- dancing a pleasure for the most energetic of couples. The Bad Tabarin has the most beautiful and unique decorations “of any Chicago entertainment spot. A system of hidden cameras reflect in panorama on the screened side walls of the room, moving scenes of the sea and city, cast, in beautifully blending colors. This novel creation provides constantly moving and new, made by the dancing" couples. Fresh Essay Contest All freshmen interested in chemi- cal engineering are being invited to tutor an essay contest sponsored by Alpha Chi Sigma, national profes- sional chemical fraternity.

Moreton, secretary of lhc Armour Alumni Association, is a handbook containix’ig,r the names of “ll the alumni, cx-students, faculty members. and members of the senior c‘ass of Armour. The followina‘ in— formation will be contained in tho hrndbcok: the name of the men. the tear in which he graduated, hi: pres- ent address and telephone, and his position or title. I Profes r Moreton’s task has been made difficult by the fragmentary records of many of the alumni. While these men have been out of touch with the Institute for many years. they may still be traced down. Ap- proximately 150 men who were previously “lost" have been located luring the past month. The book will be of inestimable value to old graduates in renewing friendships of past yeais, and will be '71" great aid to" men seeking jobs, in that they will have a list of men in the very professions which they ex- pect to follow. and can make ap- proaches to them with the informa- tion provided by the handbook. If a sufficiently large number of alumni can be traced down the book will be published and sold at a very none inal cost. “l“olmieh of Wayne ls Outstanding Performer; Sieloert, North Central Star, Sets New Vault Record WAYNE UNivsRsifTiiKs mun romr TEAM Eleven Men Pledged To Sphinx Honorary Sphinx, honorary literary fratcrui‘ ty of Armour. pledged eleven men last Thursday, March 11, in the Campus Club rooms.

Hold Final Tryouts For ‘Wintoroet’ Cast Tryouts for the semester's play, “Wintersct,” were held last Wednes- day and yestciday in Mission, and while definite choice of (rl'iaracters has not been made, sponsor Professor Walter Fulg'hum revealed that scv— cral excellent prospects have been up- earthed and will be cast in roles best suited to their dramatic talents. Three parts are for women who will be obtained from outside dramatic groups. There will he a meeting of men in: terested in working on the production staff of the Armour Flayc~ tomor— row. Wednesday, in B M on, at five o’clock. Stac'c manager Joe Ku- locrt is highly desirous of recruiting: men for this work, and states that “no previous experience is required." Work will be in four departments, scenery, lighting, costumes, and prop- ertics. Technical and financial details of the production will be discussed at a i'nccting today of the Players Guild. Careful planning,r will be necessary, in order to take care of the many de tails required for the proper stile;- inp: of the play. “Wintersct,” unlike many of the players" recent shows, has 3 acts and will be, one of the most ambitious prcsvntatlons they have attempted. Led by Allan Tolmich, Wayne University of Detroit, Michigan won the Ninth Annual Armour Tech Re- lay Games, Tolmich took first in the 70 yard low hurdles, tying- the )cxistine: record, and turned in two lmore blue ribbon performances in l the 70 yard high hurdles and the 70 yard college dash. His time in both tenth of second behind existing rec- ords. Running also in a winning re— l lay combiation, he took scoring; hon- lors with 17% points. I Siebort Breaks Record Lloyd Siobcrt, wiry pole vaulter l from North Central made the most notable performance of the evening with his record breaking; thirteen feet eight and five«cighths inches in the vault. Hallcr, of Wisconsin, Big- Ten vault title holder was nosed out when he failed to keep pace with Sic- bert's excellent jumping. Only one other record was broktn when North Central coiled-e from Napcrville clipped one and eight— tcnths seconds off the old record time of 23:27.8, hold by Michigan State Normal in the one mile college relay. This race proved the most exciting track event of the evening, a closely run, hard fought duel hc~ tween the fleet North Central quaiu tct of Teichmann, ltikli, Keyes, and Clark and the equally fast team from Wayne University. Tech Foltors After Good Start Armour Tech, a far better host than competitor, ran teams in the college two mile and sprint medley relays. Dennis, rounding the second 880 in the two mile took too ambi- tious a start, (ranging up on the other runners and taking a spill cost many seconds and yards. For a few brief moments Armour looked as though she might take first in her heat of the college sprint medley. Finn0< g'an took the baton on the final half mile and immediately passed into a close second place position. How- ever, the pace overcame his castr- ness and he slowly, but only after a gruelino‘ 800 yards, surrendn'ed his second place for a third which be easily held to the tape. The good time from the first heat eliminated Tech from any points in the final tally of the event. Wayne Takes Team Trophy 'l‘olmich and his Wayne teammates amassed a total of four firsts, four seconds and some lesser places, to bring their score to 49 points.
