It is true that employment is at a low ebb now; that not only prospective employees‘ but indus— trialists as well, like Alice in Wonderland, have to run as fast as they can to stand still. But at least these fast runners who stand still are not getting behind as the above quoted student is. And since the economic condition is one which 0b- viously won’t be helped by childishly standing still and bawling about it. why not use the adult method of facing the problem frankly and active— ly doing something to meet it. Well, what can be done? First, isn’t it abysmally unintelligent to pay three hundred dollars a year to gain the mental tools for future vocational efficiency, and then to sit back whining and refuse to help one’s self to those tools! One is reminded of the small boy whose mother sent him, much against his in- clination, to bring up some coal, and who was discovered later sitting on the coal pile, crying with his eyes shut, and interspersing his tears with, “I don’t know how I can carry up any coal when I can’t see any coal to pick up.” Secondly, when one has not a job is just the time to prepare one’s self for the work that is Advertising Mnnmzer Circulation Manage _._.._-——-————— BUSINESS DEPARTMENT .Frauk Slavin sure to open later.

The club room and range is managed by the Range Officer, who also has charge of the rifles and other equipment. By economizing, the club managed to purchase two new target rifles which retail for approximately fifty dollars Lately, a scope and three rifles have mysteriously disappeared What will happen to the present membership of the club? The other equipment was purchased with funds collected over a period of four years and The treasury does not permit the replacement of the lost articles at the present time. Unless some rifles and other neces sary equipment are obtained the Rifle Club will be a thing of the past. iyiulbok Recently, the following comment was heard as it came from a student of fine capacity who, how- ever, is doing a low type of scholastic work: “Aw, I can’t get interested in studying! What’s the use? When you graduate you can’t get a job, and if you do they’ll pay you only fifteen dollars a week. Foremen don’t think any more of you for your college training.” This type of crooked thinking seems to call for comment inasmuch as many students appear to be aliected by it to the extent that at least one class, we have heard, is performing scholastically SEUEENT UNifiN—w— (Continued from page 1) could be presented. With this in- ever, It was indicated adopted. has met with something similar “turned yellow" at a glimpse of adversity and has worked far below his capacity; nor would an in— dustrialist hire a person who meets difficulties with so weak a spine and so little ingenuity, initi- ative, foresight, and aggressiveness that a jelly fish would be as good, and a much cheaper, sub— stitute. This lull in employment is the student’s great opportunity to fit himself better than the other fellow for the first employment openings. Let him not only meet the situation, but make a situation. As for the low wages paid, granted they are too low; but they are tempo Iary emergency wages. One can eat on fifteen dollars per week and I doubt if he can on zero dollars. Furthermore, there is no evidence that an Armour graduate has been placed at a fifteen dollar wage unless he is the dregs in scholarship and personality. Regarding industrialists' inappreciation of col— lege training, let me refer the reader to a report made by Donald S. Bridgeman of a survey done by the American Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company concerning the business success of 1310 college graduates. Or let any skeptical student sit in on a foremen’s meeting in some big plant and note the efforts of executives to lead the men to think constructively about their jobs. Those executives would, in normal times, snatch 11D eagerly men with the factual knowledge and breadth of vision which Armour scatters freely at the feet of her students Any industrialist who decries a college training has not had it himseli and so is too ignorant to evaluate it, or is crying, “Sour grapes.” His industry is likely to be an un' progressive one. When a twenty—one year old student meets his adult problems with the escape mechanism of a four year old, we suggest that he make an inven— tory of his personality traits before disaster, frustration and unhappiness settle on him. The world wants results, not alibis; and res“ ults are re— worded, depression or no depression. Mrs. A. C. Orcutt. general approval. that this plan or will probably be the ground floor will be provided directly from Federal Street. All in all, an entirely new building will have made its appearance by formation on hand, he presented the Student Union plan to the Executive Committee on Monday and received unanimous approval. A meeting of the class officers and the officers of the A.’l‘.S.A. was called for Tuesday evening, when the plan was also unanimously approved by the student representatives. Rapid action was commended by them and deemed necessary to make it possible for the students to have the Student Union by next fall. Accordingly the co- operation of the T6011 News staff was obtained to release a special issue the following morning~~W1:d- ncsday. A mass meeting was called for Thursday, where the plan was presented to the student body. Pro- fessor Morcton had done his part. The final decision was left entirely to the students. The voting on Fri- day which ran in a ratio of 5 to 1 in favor of the plan indicates the students’ wholchcax-ted approval. Now that definite plans can be carried out, some of the students are asking: just what is to be remodeled. Professor Moreton pointed out that nothing definite had been decided upon pending the approval of the student body. One of the plans submitted, how— The plan embodies three basically important changes. A lounge will take the place of the present civil drafting room and will be decorated in modern style. Sofas, checker tables, a radio, and perhaps a billiard table will be features of the lounge. The assembly hall will be enlarged by removing all the partitions under the balcony together with all seats and equipment that are now a part of the class rooms surrounding; the center of the present assembly hall. It will be completely redecorated, a new floor laid, and portable chairs provided so that the hall could be cleared for dancing. Complete re- lighting arrangements are being con- templated. The two class rooms to the rear of the hall which are now B»Mission and C-Mission will also be decorated and used for club meet— ings. The third feature of the plan is the renovation of the entire ground level floor. The present dining area will be enlarged by using the area now comprising: the faculty grill, the kit- chen, and the central corridor which will be eliminated. The faculty club and washrooms will remain in their present positions. A11 entrance to next fall. The achievement marks another successful venture for Professor Moreton, a recognized engineer about the country. Professor More— ton attended Ohio State in 1901, holding a 6 hour a day job at the same time. He then came to Ar— mour, where he worked in the instru-. ment room of the electrical engineer- ing department. He graduated from Armour in 1906 and began his 32 years of teaching- at the Institute. Professor Morcton is an author of about ten books on electricity and related fields. He held the position of mechanical engineer for the U S. Stock Yards and Transit Co. and at one time was president of the Pro- duce Terminal in addition to his posi- tion of professor at Armour. Pro- fessor Moreton also was a member of the editorial staff of Motor Age, contributing two or three pages a week on topics related to the field of engineering. He has made se‘L era] important inventions in the field of engineering. Professor Moreton is a member of Tau Beta Pi, honor- ary engineering" fraternity, Eta Rep» no No, honorary electrical engineer- ing: fraternity, and of the social fru- ternity Theta Xi.
