APRIL 20, 1937 No. 9 Needed~Some Manners All of us must be able to get along with people if we are to become a part of the industrial machine. There are certain formalities or ways of conducting ourselves which are accepted as correct because people who have done some out- standing work or happily enough made money to enable them to reach the social register use these formalities in their social and business lives. Dean Tibbals recently spoke to the sophomore class on the need of manners in school and every day life. A similar talk is to be given before the other classes. Most of us realize our crudeness and the lack of finesse which an engineering education leaves. Something is lacking in the development of our manners. A series of lectures on etiquette and getting along with people should be added to our ARMOUR TECH NEWS lcurriculum. As an added thought, there should i. not be a student graduated who has not attended [at least one of the class dances. ‘Activities for Co-ops Extra—curricular activities present a problem at engineering schools—at Armour especially, where most students must spend a large amount of time traveling between home and school. Added to these difficulties is the problem which the co—op students must face. Since they attend school for different periods of time than the other students, they are given little encourage- ment to enter into activities. As their enroll— ° ment increases they can develop more activities in their own group besides participating in some of those of the rest of the school. ll: Sounds Good The Class of ’38 is definitely breaking tradi- tions, but in breaking traditions it is taking a forward step. For a number of years it was customary to have a formal dance as a climax of Junior Week. This year an informal dance which will continue the good fellowship of the week to a finish is planned. Saturday night was selected by necessity, not choice. It was impossible to secure a ballroom large enough for the affair on Friday night. Medinah Country Club is a beautiful location. Now, follows, let‘s have a good orchestra and a dance of which all Techawks will be proud. TEE hthll. Witt QUESTION: Will the assembly hall he redecorated? ANSWER: Yes, it will be redecorated in the near future. QUESTION: is it necessary that one be a member of the Rifle Club in order to use the range? ANSWER: If one tplics with the ”rules and uses his own. gun, he run. c the Tango. However, fircwrms larger than. a .22 calibre cannot be used during school hours. l Fraternity Notes I M SIGMA ALPHA MU Tomorrow our newly organized Mother's Club will meet at our rooms for a monthly tea. Mrs. A. Kahn is president and Mrs. S. Lovcnbez-g is secretary of the organization which has had a very enthusiastic begin- ning. They plan to be host 5 at our rooms on School Open House night and are assisting in improving the fraternity’s rooms. All the members are grateful for their assistance. Congratulations are in order for a number of men in the house. Two bouquets go to frater Al. N. Schrie- her for his recent pledging to Pi Tau Sigma and Sphinx honorary frater- nities, and one apiece to frater Joe Mashman for his pledging to the Ar— mour Players Guild and to Pledge Bob Kohn for his appointment as an honor marshal at the graduation ex— ercises. Our formal initiation for the new men has been organized and a novel party is being arranged in honor of the new initiates. It will he a yacht party and i'ratcr Josef Mashman has promised many surprises at the af- l'air. PHI KAP?A SlGll/lA l l 1 l l About twenty-live alumni renewed ‘ old friendships at the Phi Kap Alum- ni Banquet at the house last Thurs— day night. Brother Dean L. Banta, ’30. acted as master of ceremonies for the, evening and Brother Schem— mer gave a very interesting talk on the progress of the Institute. A few members of other chapters were also present. The house team will play the Delta Tau Delta nine next Tuesday after- noon in our first game in the inter— i'raternity baseball tournament. After losing the first match to Theta Xi in the Intra—Fraternity Ping~Pong tourney, we tied up the tally by winning last Tuesday. The deciding match with Theta Xi will be played this week at the Belt House. Pl KAPPA Flt-ll Congratulations to the Ping Pong team for the good showing they made on the first match with Rho Delta Rho. We certainly hope they can keep up the good work in the coming, games. Mike Stevens, one of our newest and most promising alumni, has de- cided to take the fatal plunge, and is to be married soon. We wish the old boy the best of luckw-but then he always was a good picker. Plans for Junior Week are rapidly getting under way. We have a pretty good skit outlined and are practicing continually to round oil’ the rough edges. The baseball and track teams are being whipped into shape under the guidance of a few of the more notable members. No, Mr. Burman, nobody was talking to you. TRLANGLE We are pleased to announce the pledging of Don Machey, Eng. ’40 William Mnehey, Eng. ’40 Tuesday night the active chapter attended the Founder’s Day Banquet at the Chicago Engineers’ Club. Bro. Henry Penn, father of John and Bill Penn, was toastmaster. With enter- tainment afterward and two good speaks '5 the banquet was a success— ful affair. Brothers Weiss, Lundberg, Hock, Young, Hassel and John Penn all planning: a trip to Milwaukee next Saturday for the initiation of Mar- quette chapter. The Marquette chap— ter will be the largest ever to he installed in Triangle. Bro. Loutzenheiser does not play billiards often but when he does, the balls fly. A neat hole in our window was the result. Phil Pl PHI Gamma chapter of Phi Pi Phi takes pleasure in announcing the pledging of Frank McGowan, ’41 We played Sigma Alpha Mu last week in our first inter-fraternity ping~pong match. Nice game, fellows! Gates, Forberg, and Vandckieft gave a repeat performance in the second encounter. The house wishes to congratulate Lorry Johanson on his recent initia- tion to Scarab, professional architec- tural society. THETA Xl Our smoker last Thursday was a big success. The evening was spent in reminiscing and card playing. Professor Perry, Alpha Gamma No. 1, and Prof. Sear were also present. The alumni seemed pleased with the progress the chapter has made this last year and assured us their cooper- ation. Our ping pong team lost to the Phi Kappa Sigma. The final match will be played at the Delta Tau Delta House. The Slipsticlr Cleave to the slipsticlc; let the slapstick fly where it may.

Anna Nuemua VF lit a Two boxers were fighting the last bout at a small club, and making a mighty conscientious job of it. At the end of the first round, the pug‘ who was taking a terrific shel~ lacking limped back to his corner and was ready to call it a night. His manager egged him on, “Don’t be a fool. He ain’t laid a glove on you.” The same thing happened in the sec- ond, and the spunky manager re— peated his pep talk. “Swell! See, I told you he ain’t laying a glove on you.” In the third, the blows bounced on" the puu’s head like a ball around a roulette table, and he crawled to his corner on his hands and knees, plopped over on his chin. “Don’t tell me. I know. He ain’t laid a glove on me. Well, watch the referee then, because some guy in that ring is heating the hell outa me!” It 1k Handsome: Clem you read my mind? Beautiful: Yes.

When we reduce cost” that’s line, too. When. we do both—when we improve quality and reduce coat—411911 that’s a bargain, and it's the best of all. Transportation is a bargain today on our modermminded railroads, lot it is vastly better than it has ever been. before, and its cost is less than at any other time in modern history. We of the Illinois Central System are proud of the present merchandising situation of the railroads, to which we have largely contributed. You can travel last, safely and in style today at 2 cents: a mile and. less, with low-cool meals at your seats, free pillows, air-conditioning, courteous attention to your needs —-everything designed for your comfort and to please you. Your freight will travel faster and better, too, and be handled in more convenient style-«and still the aver- age rate collected on all freight will be slightly less than 1 cent per ton per mile, which is not quite four- fitths oi the 1921 average. it. Wihltl'ilmfiltl .. 9 a Four cash prizes, ranging from $100 to $25 and totaling $250, will be awarded student readers at our ad- vertisements in colleges and univer- cities throughout the Middle West and South for typewritten essays at from 300 to 500 words on ”What I Like Best in Modern Railroading-— and Why." The closing date will be May 10, awards by June 1. Address me at Chicago for reference material and to submit your essays.
