February 15, 1938 No. l On behalf of the students and faculty members of the Institute, we wish to extend our deepest sym- pathy to the family of R. Biggcrstafi“, a Co-op stu- dent, who passed away two weeks ago. This issue of the Armour Tech News is the first edited under the direction of the new staff. Wher- ever a turnover in the management occurs, there will be a change of ideas which pertain to man- agement, opinions and editorial policies. The new staff, however, will not deviate far from the principles of our predecessors who have set the standards during the past nine years. It will be our objective to present the news as it happens in an unbiased form with a reasonable amount of feature material to add to the enjoy— ment of our readers. A good feature staff is a real asset to a publication; it is possible to main- tain a high standard in this respect by pre- senting all feature matter in a clean, but amusing style. Preference will not be shown to any specific department or organization. We will endeavor to present the articles in a clear, concise manner with the purpose of promoting ideas which will be of benefit to the Institute and of interest to the student body. Suggestions will be offered from time to time and will represent the opinion of the entire edi— torial board. Meetings of our board on Friday evenings will determine the subject and presenta- tion of the editorial. The issues of the Tech News which have ap— peared during the past year have scored another high mark in the history of this publication. Hav- ing good cooperation and through efficient man— agement, the retiring staff has set an enviable record. Although the retiring staff members will no longer be in direct relation with the news, their policies and ideals will be remembered by their fellow students for years to come. With this thought in mind, which serves as an inspiration to those seniors who have recently retired from the News, our best wishes for a successful career. A Good Start We have watched the growth of the Evening Division Student Association with much interest and approval. An immense amount of work has been done by Mr. Oakhill, of the evening division faculty, who has been supported every step of the way by Dr. Freud, in bringing this association to its present state: that of a potentially great or- ganization on the eve of development. Whether it shall become great or not depends solely upon the men who will lead it and the cooperation of its members. If the ability, industry, and enthusiasm shown by the student organizers under Mr. Oak~ hill is any criterion of what the membership will be like, its success is guaranteed. The possibilities of this student association are unlimited. The constitution is especially fine, pro- viding room for development in several direc— tions. Perhaps sometime in the future the day school and evening;r school student associations will combine into an interesting group which will make the proposed Mission Student Union Build» in}: a reality. Armourites one South ,, Fraternity Notes vdiana, the first night and completing Ten Armour studes who didn’t wait home for their grades during the lapse between semesters pooled their money and trucked down to Allardt, Tennessee for a vacation that turned out to be a picnic, inspection trip, hiking trip, and general all—around good time as well. Leaving school on Friday the 28th just after Gene Wor- cester finished his last exam the par- ty, including Charley Eulo, soph M.E., Bob Worcester and Harold Heidman, senior juicers, and Bob Maxant, Jerry DeBoo, Cal Nauman, Willy Roche, Bill Chelgren and Frank Lasker, mechanicals, drove south in two cars, stopping in Madison, In- .the trip the next day. ; Among the activities engaged in 1 during the week was an all—day trip' to a cave of? in a mountain, the men walking the last three miles down the mountain side to the entrance which was just large enough for a man to slide through lying on his stomach. Inside the cave the party went ofl‘ in groups and all got lost in the vast recesses, but finally got together and returned home to a lovely chicken dinner, southern style. 011 the way back some of the group visited a coal mine 700 feet in the earth, riding up on a load of coal. Hunting- For What? Hunting honors went to Gene Wor— cester and Jerry DeBoo who trudgedg 15 miles Tuesday without seeing any thing but 3 birds afar off. Then there was the matter of a stuffed squirrel. out in the woods that each fellow was 'lead out to shoot full of holes thinlb ing he had something. Wednesday the party ostensibly‘ took a trip to Norris Dam stopping off l :at Knoxville on the way back, but5 those “in the know" knew that thel destination was the U. of Tennessee‘ in Knoxville with Norris as a side trip on the way. After an hour and a half of questions and inspection at, the dam, which is pretty big. the] l l group went to inspect the Universi~ ty of Tennessee, which took 10 min- utes, and then visited a bunch of girls , at Henson Hall dormitory. Jerry Dc- Boo fell for the southern di'awl of a girl from New Jersey who claimed to be from Mississippi, and Willy Roche saw a lot of one “Suzy-Q” who seemed to be sweet on him. Frank Laskei‘ had a beer drinking bout with someone and ended up by seeing snakes for the rest of the nite. The other fellows just danced and—«we forgotAHeidman met a girl really from Mississippi, her name was Ber- ry.zind she had a car, and ‘Heid seems to think she was plenty O.K. So at eleven that night the ten men em~ .harked for home 100 miles away and arrived at two in the morning with- out waking anybody. W’aich Saw-Mill? Thursday was spent in watching a saw—mill in operation, collecting a gallon of “Mountain Dew” (170 proof) and taking the local Allardt boys for a snipe-hunt. The fellows stayed at the 23-room home of Huga Germ in Allardt. Mr. Gernt‘s wife, Aunt May, and lovely daughter Marian, assisted in making the stay very delightful, and an extra woman was necessary to cook for the ten hungry Armour guys who cons, sumed 20 dozen eggs for breakfast alone. Mr. Send; and his brother own 100,000 acres of Tennessee, 80% of it wooded. and were able to keep the mob of ten by selling a lot of extra lumber. The fellows who took the trip are all together on some basic points which include: 1. Southern girls are easier to meet and nicer than their northern sisters. 2. Southern hospitality is something. 3. The Gernts are the finest people alive. 4. Enroll at the University of Ten- nessee for graduate work in “Nech Lab” as soon as possible, preferably right now. 5.

Our ”End of the Semester Party” proved a great success, and certainly washed away the thought of the final examinations. Pi Kappa Phi Our midyear house cleaning has reached a very successful climax. Plans have now been completed for the annual conclave of Pi Kappa Phi district 11. The conclave is to be held at our chapter on Feb. 26 and 27. We wish to announce the pledg- ing of Albert Bojan, Cb.E. ’4}. Victor Schellschmid‘t, Co-op '43. Rho Delta Rho . The memorable house warming stag has now become part of the past. We will long- rcmember it as one swell affair. The house looks grand now that we have completed our decorating and furnishing. The pool tournament is once more under way, and ,a chess tournament will soon begin. In preparation the braintrusters may he usually seen pondering over a chess board. Initiation of our pledges will take place in a few weeks. Carrying this housewarming idea to its logical conclusion, we are bold- ing a housewarming; party Mar. 12 to supplement the housewarming stag we held recently.
