student of their department with the highest
scholastic record. One of these fraternities, Chi
Epsilon, honorary civil engineering fraternity,
has just adopted the custom this year by award—
ing a copy of the American Institute of Steel
Construction Handbook to the highest sophomore
civil engineering student.

Another recognition of scholastic ability is the
choosing of honor marshals at commencement and
baccalaureate exercises, according to scholastic
ranking in the freshman, sophomore, and junior
classes.

Honoraries

One’of the greatest honors obtainable by engi-
neering students—membership in Tau Beta Pi»
has been bestowed upon eleven members of the
junior and senior classes. This award is not one
which is given to students for high scholastic
standing alone, but rather one which is bestowed
upon men high in their class both in the curricular
and extra-curricular activities. Those students
who are in the upper eighth of the junior class or
in the upper quarter of the senior class are eligi~
bio for admittance. From this point on their
records and personalities must alone speak for
them.

To these eleven men who recently have been
initiated into Tau Beta Pi, the Armour Tech
News extends the heartiest congratulations.

Rewards based entirely on scholastic ability are
few at Armour. However, three honorary fra—
ternities, Pi Tau Sigma, Salamander, and Chi Ep-
silon, reward purely scholastic ability by giving

a. r. Bfiaurfilsltq;

m to scholastic standing. Honor—A, athletic hon-

      

On the other hand, we have honoraries which

orary, Pi Nu Epsilon, honorary musical, Sphinx,
literary honorary, and the Players Guild compose
this list.

 

Depantsing Dilemma

Without doubt the upperclassmen at Armour
have noticed the gradual reduction in “depants—
ing” activity of late, not only among the fresh—
men and sophomores, but among upperclassmen
too. We hear such comments as that of Mr. Zilch,
senior student, “Why, in the good old days when
I was a freshman . . . " and “Once a week was . . . ”

This practice is barbarous, and in fact is not
possible in a college in a civilized country. It
is absurd that college men would do a thing so
ridiculous for the sake of diversion, but facts can—
not be denied. There must be something in it
besides the barbaric side.

The first two or three times a fellow feels en-
raged that his rights as a citizen should be so
overlooked, that a group of fellow students should
be so unsportsmanlike as to pick on one person.
Later, he begins to sense the unisonant congeni-
ality which this rude action seems to introduce.
I But why can we not find something which is
not so conducive to group fights, and yet produce
the desired results? Nothing is done about this
because the depantsers are not thinking only of
the good being done to those depantsed.

A bit more consideration for the other fellow,
