OCTOBER 5. 1937 Help Wanted A new sound movie projection machine has been purchased by the school and is now at the disposal of departmental societies and clubs. All departmental societies will meet on the same al— ternate Friday mornings at 10:30. On the Fri- days not taken by society meetings, general as- semblies will be sponsored by the school. Promi- nent speakers will be heard and instructive movies will be shown. To complete the work student cooperation is needed. Speakers after preparing a talk appre- ciate a fair sized audience. Student interest can only be demonstrated by presence in body. Meetings come at the end 01' the week when that extra hour of homework can easily be shifted to the week—end. An idea may be secured from a speaker which will be invaluable and might not be secured in four years of scholastic lectures. Society meetings and school assemblies are usually interesting. Last year, we heard several speakers that didn’t come up to pair in the stu~ Vol. XX. No. 3 school authorities should attempt to have only worthwhile talks by interesting speakers if the support of the student body is expected. The above is idealistic but let’s be idealists in so far as society meetings and school assemblies are concerned. While our program committees are working, let’s plan to be at the next meeting. Fifth Floor, Please It is time that the attention of the school au— thorities should again be called to the shower and washroom facilities of the fifth floor and basement in the main building. Nearly all stu- dents will agree that the conditions are un~ suitable for use in a modern school. Few schools would tolerate the shower-room equipment and maintenance which Armour has. It is embarrassing to ask the visiting wrestling and boxing teams to use our facilities. Since ex— ponse is undoubtedly the factor which has dc- laycd improvements along this line, it is hoped that an investment in health will be considered the overbalancing factor. Quotable Quotes (By A. C. P.) “We cannot afiord to let the accident of birth cripple the educational opportunities of youths of promise. Our colleges and universities must extend their taproots until they reach all classes of society.” Harvard’s President James Bryant Conant justified Harvard's new policy of award- ing more and bigger scholarships to promising students. =l= :1: 3: =3 “A woman’s college is not concerned with the war between men and women. . . . The notion that women’s colleges were designed to gear women to fight men is out of date.” Wellesley College’s youthful president, Mildred H. McAfee, discusses her hope of training young women to take their places in society, not militantly, but intelligently aware of their responsibilities as citizens. =l= =1: ll: ’11 “Democracy would be wise if it would curb the education of thousands of our present school population." Pres. James L. McConaughsy of Wesleyan University takes the other side of the Save-Democracy fence. xi: 5): l'r' 1% More than 100 Georgetown University stu— dents were used last spring as human guinea pigs in test of the personality—changing effects of the dents’ eyes.

Another item in the sports line was the exhibition boxing: bout at the Handshake in which Brother Hock took some punishment from Armour’s “Brown Bomber,” Simeon. Since Brother Hock had not had the gloves on in six months, we think that he did very well in even staying the two rounds with a man as well conditioned as Simeon.
