A Vote at Thanks
The Student Union Building is complete, Pro-

fessor Moreton has done a superlative job in con-
ceiving of the plan and seeing it carried out. The
excellent designing of architects Loebl and Schloss-
man is shown by the distinctive interior of the
building. Professor Seegrist did most of the neces-
sary mechanical engineering work.

it is With heart-felt thanks to these men that
the student body takes over. Their job, so lndlS'
pensble, is completed, and the students' begun,
tor it is the students who will have to bear the
brunt of the directing ot the new building.

Of course the active managing and administra-
tion will be done by Mr, Weissman, the manager,
and his staff. The ultimate power, however, is
vested ill the student board of control which will
be elected yearly by the students. This is only iust
and fair, for it is the student‘s building, paid for
by the students and operated tor the benefit oi the
students.

This doctrine of the Student Union tor the stu~
dents must be preserved with the years. The pres-
ent students know their rights in this matter, but
Will the students of future years know them too?

Many problems will have to be ironed out by the
board of control. For example, suppose the alumni,
who have been invited by President Heald in his
“l-lomecorning,x Day” address to hold their attairs
and functions at the Union, want the same date
that some student group desires? Who has pret—
erence> Suppose the school, which certainly lost
some valuable teaching space when the MiSSion

was remodeled, desires to use some of the rooms

 

as classrooms Can the board of control deny
them this?

It is not to be supposed that only student func~
lions should be held in the Union. Such events as
the recent Terzaghi talk or a national engineering
society convention are much to be desired, because
they aid the school and students alike.

Since it is the students' building, it is right that

which was so prevalent among a certain element
of the student body in the past is absolutely out of
order now. One naturally has pride in one's pos—
sessions, especially if they are worth it. Let‘s treat
the Union as a valued possession—let‘s keep it
clean!

intramural Awards
A SPORTS EDITORIAL‘
Last lune, a group of school—spirited students got

together and agreed to try to reorganize the present
setup of the Armour Tech Student Association
charging inefficient performance of duties. This
department, agreeing with the committee, has
caretully watched to see what effect the accusa~
tions of this committee would have on the Board
of Control. It is apparent that there has been
little effect.

One of the main grievances against the Board
was its ignoring of the main group of athletes of
the schoolwthe intramural and interclass tourna—
ment participants. More students take part in in-
tramural and in interclass activities, athletically,
than in any other sport connected with the school.
it seems not only just and ethical, but also man—
datory that these activities be given consideration
by the Board worthy of the student interest ex,
pressed in the activity. This has not been alone.

Let's look at the evidence of the committee from
one member's experience. First, the case of the
‘ Frosh "Meteors" who won the softball tournament
in May, l937. They immediately went through the
l requirements for application of awards. Despite the
,constant demands of the group it took the Board
eight and one-half months to obtain the awards
tor the freshmen. True, the Board had passed on
the awards in June, but they had no executive lorce
to change the words into action.

The same case applies to the then Junior Chem-
icals who won the touchball title in November,
l937. They received their awards after an im—
patient wait of two and one—half months.

Now, again, the Board is sitting back and ignor-
ing the intramural awards. The Board has passed
on medals to the Sophomore baseball team who
won awards last September, and the Senior Chems
who won the touchball tournament a month ago.
but again they have just set down words and have
failed to apply action. This procedure has become
monotonous. Despite the fact that a very minute
amount of time and effort would be necessary to
carry out this more detail, this small consideration
has been denied to intramural activities. When will
the Board walze up and do something about it?

At present the reorganization committee is
watching the Board, waiting for sell-reorganization,
for any system should be able to correct its own de-
ieci’s when they are sell-evident. This committee
has been by no means backward. They are going
to take action, but will withhold until the Board of
Control has time to do something.

The present setup of the Board is such That when
the faculty members neglect their duties, the stu-
dent members are the only ones who can bring
I about the efficient handling of the activities at Ar—
mour Tech. Here is a case, student members. You
are our chosen representatives. We voted for you
as men of action and men of action we still believe
you to be. . . .
